A chorus of cheers were let out by the CIC staff as the Captain of the Commonwealth Battlecruiser came to their aid as her captain had assured them. "Good to have your assistance, Captain Wellesley!" Admiral Monroe replied to his transmission, now focusing on the battle at hand. "Give me an update!" he turned to one of his officers. A few moments pass as the officer gave the current status of the battle. "Shit...The [i]Voyager[/i] has been boarded, she's been overrun..."

"Sir, Security reports heavy fighting in several decks."

"Good. I want those damn bugs kept at bay." Monroe said. "What of the fighters?

"Only half have launched sir and have engaged the enemy fleet."

Better then nothing. I want all guns targeting the X'Cor ships, have the Commonwealth bttlecruiser lead the charge and support our fighters."

The Carrier itself had become a battlefield, X'Cor soldiers were streaming through the halls, slaughtering the crew that were obsuring their path, their objective. However, they will soon have to contend with the marines.

A squad of ten marines raced down the corridors, following the sounds of weapons fire, before long they had ended up in the main hanger of the carrier, the hanger was a warzone, as burning debris and wreckage of federation ships and X'Cor Terror Worms littered the wide hanger. Security and none-combat personnel were struggling against the overwhelming numbers of X'Cor. "Epsilon Squad, move it!" the marine sergeant shouted out as the squad charged out, spiting into two groups of five as one group took cover behind some wreckage along with a few pinned down crewmen. "Thank god!" one of them cried out. "The Marines!"

"More are coming, we got the situation under control." one of them said.
