The Blind Chasing The Blind
After escaping from Admiral Janeway, I ran out into the corridors wearing only her medical smock. I appear to be in an underground high-security part of the building -- which means that the area is almost certainly shielded against sensors and transporters.
Improvised Plan A: Get out of the building, and have Doctor Khan beam me back onto the Murgatroid.
To misuse a Terran idiom, that would be a case of jumping out of the fire and back into the frying pan; but it would be a vital first step in getting me off of Earth. From there, I could be re-beamed elsewhere (perhaps to the Utopia Planitia shipyards on Mars). Ironically, although the Murgatroid is currently one of my biggest threats apart from the fake Janeway, it also houses my only real potential allies.
In the corridors with me are a dozen guards, armed with phasers -- but they do not constitute as much of a threat as one would normally expect, since their eyes have all been gouged out. I am at a loss to explain this, but I will certainly take advantage of it.
I am now armed with a phaser, having appropriated it from one of the blind guards who was stunned by another guard. They are now all stunned, as only I had the foresight to fire my phaser on a wide-dispersal. I am now running as fast as I can through the labyrinthine corridors, trusting to logic and my sense of direction to navigate me out of the building.
I seem to have arrived at a dead end, and I hear more guards closing in down my one avenue of escape. I will now attempt to formulate an Improvised Plan B.
