They had been working in the mines for about a week when it happened. He and Arya was near the asteroid’s core working on a large deposit of dilithium when suddenly alarms began to sound along the mine shaft. He had heard alarms before mainly for explosive decompression since he had been here but this one was different. They put down their drills and began to make their way to the surface. This might be the chance that they were looking for to escape. They had not made it very far when they came across their first Black Viper. He was armed but luckily for them facing up the tunnel towards it entrance. Anya took his legs from under him as he grabbed for the phaser rifle that the Black Viper was carrying. As he brought up the weapon to scan the tunnel he heard the sickening snap of bone before Anya got up. He gave her a quick glance and realised that this woman who he had been with for the past week was not all she seemed.  They hurried forward as they zig zagged their way through the tunnels as they tried to find the quickest way to the mine’s entrance. There had been fewer Black Vipers then they had expected and they made good progress out of the tunnels. As they emerged it became clear where they had gone. The habituation, command and dilithium processing part of the facility were under heavy attack. from what he could make out as he glanced across the battle raging around him was that the Black Vipers had been attached by Starfleet ground forces but there was no way that they could get to them directly so they would have to make a large detour and hope not to get shot in the process. 

They had crept through a couple of cargo bays and a small part of the massive processing plant when they reach an obstacle. The Black Vipers realising that the asteroid was going be taken over they had decided to start setting charges to give them more time to regroup and counter attack. This meant that they had decided to vent outlying areas of the facility into space hoping that this would force the Starfleet forces into the middle of the facility which was more densely packed with equipment and machinery. Unfortunately for him and Anya they were in one of the outlying areas and as the gravity stopped and the air began to be sucked out things were going badly for them.  Suddenly in a far corner a hatch opened out of the wall. It belonged to an escape pod which had been part of the original design as the people who built the mines and the facility had wanted to survive any disasters misfortune that the facility came under and had placed escape pods throughout the facility.  They hauled themselves through the zero-g corridor that they were in; they slid in side and slammed the hatch shut as the air was drained for the area they had just been in. The pod realising that it had occupants automatically launched its self from the station and powered its self into space. He leaned against a bulk head on the pods wall and looked at Arya and grinned. He then suggested that they reintroduce themselves.
