<< Transporter Room
== Ensign Kent Östberg - Medical NRC ==
"Damn it!" the doctor swore as weapons fire erupted, striking one of their team immediately. Östberg didn't have time to even draw his phaser, much less move towards the injured officer before he was charged by a Klingon with a mek’leth. It was Beta Selumai all over again, except with less time to prepare a defense. And that time it had been Cardassians, much less physically intimidating than Klingons.
Östberg got his left arm up to block a slash directed at his neck but Pearson moved like a flash, interposing himself and bringing his rifle up to parry. It was clear that the security officer was outmatched... and there was another Klingon charging.
Instinct (and SEJO training) took over. The intervention of Pearson had (hopefully) bought him a couple of seconds. He pulled the phaser from his belt and opened up on the second Klingon, gambling that the Australian could at least keep the first busy for a few moments. In his youth he would have pulled his trusty combat knife and met the Klingons blade for blade, and there was still part of him that looked fondly on those brash days where his comrades had made Viking jokes about the Norwegian medic. And he had to admit, there was still some call to his ancestor's blood, that had missed this.
So much for 'no heroics.' Should have at least gotten a damned phaser rifle.
== GM Input: Do the doctor's shots hit? Östberg will move to assist Pearson if the second Klingon gets taken out. ==
