[M] Lt(jg): A New Dilemma (Dracht, Rahman)

[Elizabeth Rahuba]

(( Jefferies Tube ))

TREL'LIS: ::climbing in, after Dracht:: That's why I'm following your lead. ::to others:: Keep me apprised, as you go along. ::continues following the engineer::

DRACHT: Fair enough Ma'am.

:: Trel'lis continued following the ensign, amid the rocking of the ship. ::

DRACHT: How we going to deal with this creature? Shoot first, talk later? ::He looked at the tricorder as the combadge went off::

TREL'LIS:: I say we may have to shoot first, especially if it displays violence, right off.

MEI'KONDA: =/\= Mei'konda to all hands.  Prepaare for high G acceleration. =/\=

DRACHT: You got to be Kidding?!

TREL'LIS:: ::sighs:: Just great! ::attempts to brace herself, despite nothing to grab onto.::

:: Trel'lis heard Dracht's tricorder beeping incessantly, amid the noise from the rocking of the ship. ::

DRACHT: He or she appears to be ahead.. there is a large junction hub up ahead. Looks like it uses the place regularly.. ::He looked back briefly over his shoulder:

TREL'LIS:: Then we may have a whole other 'dynamic' to deal with.

DRACHT: Aye, If we head in we might be greeted by it.. or it could not be ther....

:: Trel'lis heard Dracht's voice cut off as the shockwave hit the ship. Trel'lis was slammed against the sides of the tube. They were hurtling down the tube, when Trel'lis felt the ensign's arms wrap around here, as though to soften the impacts, after she'd hit him. Trel'lis and Drachet were thrust forward, as if being had sucked forward. As the lights flickered on and off, Trel'lis felt the loss of gravity, indicating a failure in that system. Ensign Dracht struck the end, hard, as did she, but managed to recover, more easily, thanks to Dracht's quick thinking. ::

DRACHT: Ma'am? ::he coughed, a small amount of blood came out of his mouth:: you alright?

TREL'LIS:: ::rubbing left shoulder:: A bit banged up, but okay. How about you, Ensign?

DRACHT: RESPONSE

TREL'LIS: We lost gravity, which may make finding this entity harder.

:: Just then, Trel'lis heard her combadge activate. It was Lt Cmdr Rahman calling for an ensign and Security. ::

RAHMAN: =/\= Ensign Dracht, Lieutenant Trel'lis, if you could meet me in the computer core, I think we've still got a stowaway. =/\=

TREL'LIS: =/\= We're in one of the tubes. When something hit the ship, we were thrown about. Ensign Dracht is injured, so it may be me. He needs medical attention. =/\=

DRACHT: =/\= RESPONSE =/\=

RAHMAN: =/\= Oh, and... if either of you could bring a couple of extra phasers. =/\=

TREL'LIS: =/\= I'll bring his and mine, but I am not keen on leaving Ensign Dracht alone, being injured. You planning on shooting this thing? =/\=

DRACHT: =/\= RESPONSE =/\=

RAHMAN: =/\= I'm not planning on shooting anyone or anything today, but after what I saw on Nygel II... and from the report describing that decapitated Cardassian, I'd say caution's warranted. What do you think, Trel'lis? =/\=

TREL'LIS: =/\= I agree, which is all the more reason I don't want to leave Ensign Dracht behind. =/\=

RAHMAN: =/\= RESPONSE =/\=

DRACHT: RESPONSE

TAG! TBC...
