Summary: On a remote planet in the Badlands called Tau Primia, and in the middle of nowhere, Megan Felpes and her colleague Jack Smith observe a prison manned by rebel Cardassians. But what starts as a simple mission goes horribly wrong, when she and Jack are captured and imprisoned, and for the next two years Megan's life becomes a living hell...

Fast forward two years and captain Ezri Dax is the new commander of Deep Space Nine, and on a personal level there are many challenges to overcome, as she comes to terms with her long term break-up with Bashir, and the friends she lost contact with during the many years away from the station. However shortly after arriving, Ezri faces a new problem when a fleet of Cardassian warships arrive at DS9.

Upon being contacted by one of the ships, Ezri encounters Garak, the president of the Cardassian government and general commander-in-chief of the Cardassian Union. During a private meeting, Garak gives to Ezri a very unusual offer...

This soon morphs into Ezri's first mission as captain to carry out a daring rescue operation to free the prisoners on Tau Primia...

Set eighteen years after the Dominion War, this story sees the return of some the main characters from DS9: Kira, Odo, Bashir, Quark and Ezri. This universe is NOT based on the DS9 relaunch books, this is my own interpretation of events after the end of the Dominion war. This is DS9 but radically tweaked...

Warning: Contains occasional strong violence, mild swearing, adult situations and emotive mush.

Summary:

Hello everyone. With the discussion forum down and not all of us having our Ad Astra blogs up and going I thought I would try to create a little round robin story where we can all post a little response to my posited ‘How do we cope when technology fails?' prompt.

 

Our heroes would have to tackle Star Trek life without the magic of their technology - say no transporters, no replicators, no grav-plates, no warp power, etc. Maybe they find themselves in a crutch, maybe it ends up with some hilarious or fish out of water moments, or puts their lives in mortal peril. Have at it. Remember to keep it clean given the K rating and that this is just for fun to help us while over the absence of the forum.

Just post your prompt response as a new chapter and sign your name to the ‘chapter' you write. Well that's the plan. Fingers crossed as to whether this works! Remember, just write it, don't edit it to death - for this one time on the archive! ;)
