(( Corridors, Deck 1, Main Compartment, DS33 ))

The Al-Leyan held no emotion back as he drew on what reserves he had left to try and inspire those under his command to push even harder, farther, longer.

Korras: To the last breath. Today is a good day to die.

Kiran:::addressing the group:: As I said before, trust your training. Your training will help you through this. Above all, listen to your CO at all times. I know it shouldn’t have to be said, but things do tend to go pear-shaped.

T’Fearne::: quietly:: I wonder how many last breaths today has taken. :: blinking away the morose thoughts and steeled her face into a determined/neutral expression::

Valo: Better to focus on our victory.

Raga: =/\= Raga to Ops. We’re here. Every last person we could still reach has fallen back to the Embassy and are positioned throughout the entire deck. A hundred strong between them and you. We’ll make every shot count. =/\=

Stergis: =/\= Understood Commander. Internal security grid is a mess but we'll try to seal some doors and slow them down at least, create some firing lanes for you. =/\=

Mackenna: =/\= Response =/\=

Several explosions sounded from the corridors outside and intense phaser and disruptor fire. By their volume he could tell they were far from the Embassy itself.

Osiris: =/\= The Alliance is pushing again, Port side. =/\=

The call given Toryn looked to those members of the Seiuri Team and to the Klingon who for better or worse looked more than ready to fight on.

Raga: You’re with us, Lieutenant Korras.

Korras: Yes sir.

T’Fearne: On it.

With the command barely gone from his lips the Al-Leyan moved in a rush towards the doors, rifle being slung from behind him to be wielded as he lead them out of the Embassy and down the corridors to the port side of the deck where dozens of their brethren were already positioned and engaged in battle. Tholians and Sheliak appeared to be attempting to breach the deck through two turbolift shafts and a stairwell.

Toryn pressed against a bulkhead and leaned around the corner over another crewman crouched in the same spot and fired at the enemy with precise shots. With so many of their own they had to be careful of burst fire.

Kiran: I’ve got the turbolift covered at the moment. Is it me, or are they setting up some sort of cannon emplacement? They get that thing put together and we’re going to be in a world of hurt…

Toryn looked where Kiran referred to and mentally cursed in honor of his best friend. oO Fvadt! Oo

Korras: Is there any other way into this position? I found several Tholians roaming throughout the station, I would not be surprised if they are trying to flank or distract us.

T’Fearne: I’ll provide suppression fire on the stairs.

Valo: Targeting their cannon team.

The enemies that were mid process of setting up their own cannon were beset by the intense fire from nearly all of Seiuri squad to the point that several of the Sheliak and Tholians fell from the focused phaser fire.

Raga: Good, don’t let them get that cannon operational!

Kiran: Commander, do we have any transporter inhibitors left?

T’Fearne: I saw some active in the Embassy proper. There might be a few unactivated ones in a supply crate. I’ll check. How many do we need?

Raga: We should have a few. When we fell back I had a few of the ones we’d already placed brought with us just in case.

Korras/Kiran/Breeze: Response

Toryn watched her rush away back towards the embassy to grab what she could find, while he and the others held the line. When she came back in short order he was grateful to see they had even that many extra. Not counting the ones already active on Deck 1. Ops, and the Embassy and most of the corridors around and between them should have a little overlap.

T’Fearne: We need to use these sparingly. Maybe carry them with us.

While she attached one to her person, Toryn fired on a pair of Sheliak that pushed past the stairwell landing and onto the deck. The first was caught by a dozen phaser beams from the defenders and its companion twice that number.

Valo: Hey, what happened with the environmental controls up there? Are they managed via a separate control system?

Raga: Possibly. Those controls would be in Ops.

Korras/Kiran/T’Fearne/Breeze: Response

A trio of Tholians moved up the stairwell next, disruptors already being fired in a rapid spread. He’d barely ducked back around the bulkhead in time, a few others weren’t so lucky. Two crewmen took several blasts to the chest, arms and legs before they dropped to the deck. Unmoving.

Valo: What about fire suppression systems? Some systems will use force fields and trap a flame, allowing it to snuff out all the oxygen. That….doesn’t seem like a good idea. BUT, if there is any kind of water or cooling mechanic built in on the starbase it might help these guys chill out.

Raga: Good idea, Ensign. Sadly with this many of us here too that could negatively impact our own people. ::A disruptor bolt whizzed past his head and he dropped lower, then popped around the corner to fire back:: That might work if we could freeze them out of Deck Two, since that’s where the ones using the stairs are coming from.
