Mission:
Mission 5: Research Team - Missing in Action
Location: Engineering USS Medea
Timeline: 2389 229 at 1555
Engineers were scrambling around. Although the damage to the Medea wasn't as bad as the damage to the alien ship, they still needed repairs to properly continue on their way. Warp drive was at minimums, shields, and weapons were compromised, and there was other damage throughout the ship.
Solana walked into engineering to controlled Chaos. Her team was all over the place keeping track of the Warp Drive, Shields, weapons, and life support systems. She made a straight line to her console and began doing a quick assessment of what the situation was. Without looking up from the console she spoke quickly so her team could get to work.
"Ensign Sharp, Ensign Thomas. Get the Warp Drive to at least 50%. We won't be going anywhere with it in its current state. Ensign Turner, our shields seem to be steady, keep them that way. We will need our weapons to keep that ship disabled. Get to it." She watched her Ensigns go to their stations and then decided to give the Captain a Status Report.
=^=Milner to Captain Applegate, Do you want the good news or bad news first?=^=
The captain's voice came over the comms, though no one would really tell if she was annoyed, frustrated, or concerned. Maybe all three? =^= Go ahead, Lieutenant. Whichever I need to know.=^=
Solana furrowed her brow a bit when she heard the frustration in the Captain's voice. She may be newer to the crew, but that didn't mean she couldn't read her command.
=^= As of right now, we have everything holding steady. We're working on getting the warp drive in shape ASAP just in case we need to give chase. You'll just need to give me a heads up if that's the case so we can divert power as needed. =^=
=^=Do what you need to, Solana. Grab who you need. I think we're in the clear at the moment for being shot at again.=^=
She looked at her crew scrambling to keep the ship running smoothly and made a mental note to ask about getting them raises.
