Ensign Jiroo Zaka - We Need Parts!
Sebastian
((OPS - Hermes Station))
As the re-materialized Jiroo found himself in a quite chaotic
environment. There were plenty of alarms and lights going together
with a busy cast of personell talking and shouting to each other.
He looked around and tried to orient himself, when he noticed
there was actually someone aiming a phaser at them! Only now he
realized that he was completely unarmed and he got a terrible
sinking feeling in his stomach.
Aja: Identify yourself.
Rajel: I am Commodore Jalana Rajel, Commanding Officer of the USS
Constitution-B. Your attackers left the system and we are here to
assist. I would have announced our visit, but your comms are down.
Having no better idea, Jiroo raised his toolbox partly to show that they had good intentions, partly to shield himself.
Herren: I’m Laria Herren, the second officer. This is our
assistant chief medical officer and one of our engineers.
Park: Response
Va: I am Captain Va Remy. ::she was still hesitant as she assessed
them::
Aja: Response
Jiroo imagined the phaser was lowered slightly and glanced around.
He recognized some of the warnings that went on around them. An
idea formed in his head. Pointing towards a nearby console that
had plenty of red and yellow flashing lights he raised his toolbox
slightly higher again.
Zaka: I can see that life support is critical. I can help you fix
that, if you let me.
Va: Yes, that’s one of many problems I’m afraid.
Herren: Among many indeed. Hopefully we can remedy that.
The initial tension seemed to be over and Jiroo relaxed a little bit. The situation was still serious with the heavy damage to the outpost, but at least they weren't in immediate danger of getting shot any longer. With that out of the way Jiroo thought it was time for him to get an overview on what was damaged, what needed quick attention and what were more long time repair projects.
Zaka: Do you have any idea about the amount of damage to the Outpost?
Rajel/Park: Response
Aja: Response
Va: Our internal comms and sensors are down so we can’t be certain
of much. I know we had reports of injuries in the southwest wing
before we lost comms. I’m quite glad you arrived when you did,
Commodore.
He had feared as much. Without proper internal sensors, there was
not way of determining what exactly was wrong. Maybe they could do
a thorough scan from the Constitution and get an overview of the
damages, but that would take some time. For now he thought it was
best to identify critical systems and diagnose those to keep the
population warm, dry and inside the outpost, while anything else
was kept outside outpost. Life support, artificial gravity,
inertia dampeners, structural integrity, that was his internal
todo-list to focus on first.
Zaka: From our scans during the fight we could see that a lot of
the outer structures were heavily damaged. I fear the comms array
looked like it's a total loss.
Rajel/Park: Response
Aja: Response
Herren: Initial reports say that our ship suffered minimal damage.
Our teams should be able to help repair the station and treat your
injured.
Rajel/Park: Response
Va/Aja: Response
Herren: We know they were using some kind of Tholain tech. As for
the damage…
Jiroo noticed the 2O turning towards the group, looking
expectantly. Since he had discovered the nature of the weapons he
might as well speak up about it, he thought.
Zaka: It appears they used high yield quantum torpedos. No idea
how they got their hands on that kind of weapon.
Rajel/Park: Response
Va/Aja: Response
Herren: I would be happy to help coordinate repair and support
efforts.
Jiroo glanced over to the console that caught his attention
before. A lot of the warning lights that were an alarming yellow
before had meanwhile turned to a panicky red, some even blinking
in a rather alarming fashion.
Zaka: I would suggest I start with life support and stabilize
that?
Rajel/Park: Response
Va/Aja: Response
Zaka: Maybe we can also start detailed scans from the Constitution, so we get an overview what parts of the station are repairable short term and what will need a bigger effort.
Rajel/Park: Response
Va/Aja: Response
He started to move over to the life support console and ran a
first diagnostic. For now it kept everyone in the central part of
the outpost alive. The outer parts were more spotty, some had lost
temperature control, some had no CO2 scrubbing or oxygen supply
currently. That didn't mean those sections were immediately
uninhabitable and everyone would drop dead, but whoever was there
would get very uncomfortable in the next hour and some sections
would become deadly after that. Checking the energy and oxygen
flows, Jiroo identified some sections that were wholly destroyed
and cut them off from the grid. He could reroute these resources
to critical areas instead of venting them into space.
Next, he checked for repairable damages. Oxygen generators were
down to minimal levels, quite a few heat exchangers seemed to be
busted. The main CO2 scrubbers at least looked serviceable
considering the circumstances. All that he could fix, he knew, he
learned that at the Academy. All he needed was parts, his little
toolkit wasn't nearly enough to patch up an outpost. He went back
over to the Second Officer as he was under the impression she was
coordinating the efforts. While walking over he tried to remember
what her name was. She had just introduced herself and he had also
read it in the ships briefing on his way...
Zaka: Lieutenant Commander ::he paused, thinking for a moment:: Herren?
Herren: Response
Slightly embarrassed he nodded to himself. At least he got the
name right. Now to the topic.
Zaka: I need spare parts to stabilize the essential systems. Who on the Constitution would be the right person to contact for that?
Herren: Response
Rajel/Park: Response
Va/Aja: Response
