Commander Serala: Time to Test a Theory
Serala
(( Bridge, Deck 3 - Primary Hull, USS Chin’toka ))
Serala stepped out of the Ready Room, the others close behind. It was eerie how quiet the bridge was with no one on board and the stations all dark. She moved to her seat in the center and stood facing the darkened viewscreen.
Serala: Computer. Release emergency lockout procedures on the bridge. Authorized access limited to myself, First Officer Lieutenant Commander Aine Sherlock, Tactical Officer Daniel McGillian, and Helm Officer Lieutenant Neshala. No other access is authorized to command functions from any station throughout the ship. However, retain engineering functions for Lieutenant Xiron, Ensign Is’Kah, and Lieutenant Commander Ilsam in Engineering. Secure all turbolifts and deactivate all transporters.
The computer beeped after each order and the bridge came to life, the panels lighting up and the routine sounds resuming.
Serala: Alright, we have our work cut out for us. Let’s get to it.
Sherlock / McGillian: Responses
Neshala had already moved to the helm and was accessing the controls. Serala could feel her work as the ship finally righted itself. On the viewscreen, she could see the battle against Earth Spacedock. It was not going well, but there appeared to be a few ships still resisting, along with the Titan. Among those, she was able to pick out the Astraeus which seemed to be attempting to assist the Starbase. The Titan was continuing its attacks against the fleet, and nearby the Kitty Hawk and the Artemis seemed to be facing off. Serala could only assume that one of them had been assimilated while the other was still resisting.
Serala: Neshala, set course for Spacedock. Let’s try and draw some fire from them to help the Astraeus with the evacuation. McGillian, target enemy vessels. Shoot to disable only. These are still Starfleet vessels and I hope Admiral Picard can find a way to save them eventually. We just need to buy them some time. Sherlock, find me that signal.

Neshala: Aye, Captain. Setting course for Earth Spacedock. Shields are raised and fully functioning at this time.
Any Engineering: =/\= Responses =/\=
Serala: =/\= Good work on the engines. But we’re out of time. Spacedock has less than ten minutes left. I need to get this ship back from the Borg, so let’s find that signal and alter the shield frequencies to block it. =/\=
