Lieutenant JG Charotte Brexis - STORM THE BRIDGE!
Charlotte Brexis
((Sickbay, Deck 5 - USS Icarus))
Brexis: Alright. What do you need me to do? How can I help?
Lystra: Good question.
Foster: Alright, the neural interface is all set and powered, Lystra’s got the PADD. Lieutenant Brexis, can you help me recalibrate these tricorders. We’ll triangulate around the neural interface unit.
Charlotte looked between her two crewmates.
Brexis: I can do that.
Lystra: Alright. Sounds like a plan.
Charlotte got to work making the needed adjustments to the tricorder.
Foster: Alright, I’m all set, too. Let’s try to stabilize this phase.
Lystra: The PADD’s still working and has plenty of charge left.
Brexis: ::Nodding:: That’s good.
It was phenomenal what happened next. Charlotte had seen pictures of old uniforms before, but she never expected to see one being sported by a full body apparition. If she hadn’t known they were phased out, it may have felt like an incredibly spooky moment.
As the apparition spoke the words came clearly through the PADD.
Foster: Well, hello there, who are you?
Douffet: Me or him?
Pretak: Response
Another one appeared.
Lystra: Either or both honestly. ::she whispered to Charlotte:: I don’t know if just seeing disembodied uniforms is better or worse.
Charlotte leaned closer to Lystra without taking her eyes off the ghostly figures.
Brexis: So creepy right?
Foster: I’m Lt. Commander Cade Foster, Chief Medical Officer.
Douffet: I am Doctor Bryon Douffet. ::Gesturing around:: This is my sickbay you’ve been rummaging through.
Charlotte grimaced a little bit. He had a right to be annoyed. He had been watching them, unable to communicate as they searched through things.
Pretak: Response
Lystra: Lieutenant JG Lystra. Tactical and Security.
Lystra smiled towards the newly formed people in front of them. Charlotte smiled too, hoping to be more welcoming and offset the perma-grouch look on Cade's face.
Foster: What is the last thing you remember before you ended up incorporeal?
Douffet: I was here. In the sickbay. One moment I was trying to find where my M7 Medical Drone was, ::looking disgusted as he looked towards the cabinet:: Then next thing I know I am waking up on the floor. Now we’re here.
The man shrugged.
Pretak: Response
Lystra: And in between a century passed. Honestly, I’m not sure the hyperwarp drive was worth all this.
Charlotte shook her head.
Brexis: Doesn’t seem like it was.
Douffet: You said we’ve been gone for 100 years… How is that even possible?
Pretak: Response
Lystra: A hundred and thirty years to be specific. And I have no idea. I honestly don’t know enough about how a hyperwarp drive works, but I know temporal nonsense well enough. Maybe whatever you were doing during those jumps caused temporal fractures? A wormhole maybe? Our science team will have to figure that out.
It struck Charlotte, that this had to be an incredibly difficult situation for the phased out crew. Who knew what was going through their heads. They blinked and suddenly everything they knew was gone. Time was a cruel mistress.
Brexis: ::Shaking her head slightly:: We are going to do everything we can to help you guys.
Foster: Response
Douffet/Pretake: Response
Progress was being made and that’s what mattered. She hoped they would be able to get things resolved quickly and smoothly.
Then the comms chirped.
Ch’Nilmani: =/\= Diz to Teams 2,3 and 5. We got a problem. Patches and her team have been way laid by what appears to be Sheliak. I think the Icarus is being boarded. =/\=
With that went any hope of things going quickly or smoothly. She felt Lystra getting nervous next to her.
Lystra: Sheliak? Here. Why in the stars would they be interested in the Icarus?
Brexis: My bet is they want their grubby hands on the hyperwarp drive.
Foster: Response
Douffet/Pretake: Response
Charlotte struggled, wondering what she should do. Her history in Security made her want to run to the bridge and protect not only the ship, but her Commanding Officer. Not that Jalana wasn’t able to protect herself, but it was Charlotte’s duty to protect. Her being in intel, she knew being around the new intruders could give them valuable information to give back to Starfleet.
Lystra: Think walking puddles of sludge that think almost all other lifeforms are inferior. Incredibly ordered though, their legal process is so convoluted it can even make Ferengi blush. My parents always complained about how many hoops they had to jump through to make any deliveries in or through their space.
Her mind was still elsewhere, so she simply nodded in response to Lystra having not much of an idea what she just agreed to.
Foster: Response
Douffet/Pretake: Response
Lystra: If the Icarus is being boarded by Sheliak there’s a chance this could end up going badly. And we only have the Oleek-Om. The Nova class is cute and all, but I’d feel a lot better if we had the Conny with us. She’s got more phasers. ::she took a breath:: We haven’t had any visitors yet, but Sickbay is a critical part of the ship so we might not be alone for too long. What do you think we should do?
Brexis: ::Looking between Cade and Lystra:: I don’t know, but I’m going to the bridge. ::Pointing to the Icarus members:: You two have got them. I can be more help elsewhere.
Foster/Lystra: Response
Douffet/Pretake: Response
Charlotte turned towards the door and started towards it before looking back over her shoulder.
Brexis: Stay safe.
Foster/Lystra: Response
Douffet/Pretake: Response
((Bridge, Deck 1 - USS Icarus))
It didn’t take her long to get there under pure adrenaline and the thought running through her head, “STORM THE BRIDGE!” Which felt incredibly dramatic, but very on brand for Charlotte Brexis.
She was so focused on getting to the bridge, she didn’t even notice she walked right by a few of her crew members who had been staying out of sight, but keeping an eye on things.
Charlotte had a different plan. As she came up on the door she leaned her back against the wall and did a quick room sweep. Which was made difficult with the suit on, but it was better than nothing. As she walked onto the bridge, with her phaser up she heard Jalana.
Rajel: I do hope that cleared up and misunderstanding. Will be acceptable that we continue trying to find out the cause of all this?
With a furrowed brow and precision focus on the Sheliak Charlotte called out in hopes to avoid anyone from her own crew getting started and taking aim on her.
Brexis: Jalana. Lieutenant JG Brexis incoming. Is everyone okay?
