Lieutenant Vailani Zoyara - Unexpected Things
Ava Munro
(( Cockpit of the USS Acheron - Ebers System, Balancar Sector, Alpha Quadrant ))
Vailani: Opening the airlock doors.
Storm: Not sure I’d do that yet. =/\= Is there any way you can regulate the power to the phasers so a direct hit wouldn’t be lethal?
Brigand: =/\=::Tapping his fingers on the console:: I might be able to do that, but it could take me at least ten minutes. =/\=
Storm: =/\= I think our OPS officer is giving you about thirty seconds.=/\=
The engineer disappeared from the video link.
K'Wara: Response
Storm: Is there any reason we can’t sit tight for five minutes?
Cole: With how quickly the station’s weapons adapted to our tactics, the longer we wait the … more chaotic my flying will have to be.
Vailani: I'm less concerned about your piloting skills and more concerned about the rate of the dilation of the rift. Every second that passes we lose an advantage.
K’Wara: Response.
Storm: Fair point. =/\= You may want to put a rush on that. =/\= ::to Cole:: You do some more fancy flying, and I’ll buy you a drink when we get back to the Artemis. I don’t fancy meeting the Great Exchequer today - to borrow a Ferengi term.
Cole: Sounds like a deal.
Zoyara waited some more. Her own checks and diagnosis had been completed effectively. She just waited for the security and tactical officers to do their checks.
K’Wara: Response.
Storm: We’ve got incoming debris from the rift. This might be the time to make a run for it.
Zoyara resisted the urge to roll her eyes (again) or advise that she'd already mapped that out AND advised them. She considered that growth.
Cole: ::smiling to herself:: I might have to play a bit faster and loose with my maneuvers, please hold onto something Lieutenants..
K’Wara: Response.
Cole began to take the route that she'd planned, and it was going smoothly if not a little tight.
Cole: ::jerking the controls causing the shuttle to rotate towards the starboard side:: Sorry about that.
Storm/K’Wara: Response
After the sound of an alarm, Cole navigated the shuttle so they dropped below the rift or at least an approximation of below as they could manage in space.
The shuttle shuddered violently, followed by a pop and sparks flew across the shuttle. A fire broke out, and Zoyara diverted power from that section before she tended to the small blaze that had erupted.
Cole: Almost out of range, we should be close enough to get some better scans of the rift.
Vailani: Let's make it quick, I've had about as much as I care to stomach for this trip.
Zoyara began to scan the rift.
Storm/K’Wara/Cole: Response
Vailani: I'm seeing several surges of -
The shuttle seemed to explode in a series of alerts, deafening metal on metal, and screams. Zoyara fell from her chair, her shoulder connected to something.
Storm/K’Wara/Cole: Response
She scrambled to her knees and pulled herself back up to her console.
Vailani: We're caught in the rift, whatever that was, it came right for us. We're experiencing multiple system failures. Shields at 32% and falling.
Storm/K’Wara/Cole: Response
