== Lt[JG] Nat Okehampton ==
The sound of phaser fire died away to reveal 3 downed Klingons and minimal collateral damage. Nat let out the breath she’d been holding in and looked to the rest of the team.
“Great job. Let’s get this secured. Bellon, Treyda, put our new friends in cuffs and get them out of the way…”
[Okehampton, they’re tryin’ to overload the engines. Get control of that room stat! Do you need us there too?] Calleja sounded far too keen for a fight to Okehampton, but that was the new Chief’s style. [Take ‘em out and then you’re gonna have to take over with Han and keep this bucket in space.]
Nat quickly looked over at the young Engineer who was with them. Alarms were starting to sound everywhere and even to the armourer’s partially trained eye, it looked very much like the Klingons were very close to achieving their goal.
“Chief, engine room secured. Han and I are going to do our best,” she said down the comm.
[Nice work. Keep me posted.] The answer was near instant.
“Ensign, we’re in your hands,” Nat added to Ju, acutely aware of the number of metaphorical eyes that were now over their shoulders. “Where do you need us? We’ve got to stop this overload!”
== Lt Mara Calleja ==
[Chief, engine room secured. Han and I are going to do our best.]
“Nice work. Keep me posted.” Mara was relieved to know she at least didn’t have to reinforce the engine room. There was the whole issue of potentially being blown to pieces if the engines went up, but there was nothing she could do about that. She had to trust Ju to do her thing.
[We've engaged hostiles Chief, and K'Deela is down.] The report came through from Svenson on the Bridge, and as she listened Calleja could hear the gunfire in the background.
I’m gonna get shit for not bein’ there myself, ‘specially if Givens gets her tunic dirty. But I had to be here. We still don’t know what they’re willin’ to die for, but it’s here and I’m gonna find it…
“Svenson, do you need back-up?” Calleja replied. She did the maths in her head about shuffling a couple of Okehampton’s team to join her and sending a couple of hers up to the Bridge, but it was probably going to be quicker and more effective to call in reinforcements from Artemis.
The Amazonian Chief was still looking around when she spoke to Trevathan.
“Trev, what are you seein’?” she asked. “A lot of these labels are food and booze. I don’t see anythin’ worth dyin’ for, and they were quite prepared to blow the ship. There’s gotta be somethin’ here.”
“There’s empty boxes,” he replied. “Quite a lot of them are empty. And there’s some that are scan-shielded, I can’t see what’s in them. But we’ve got a bigger problem. I was reading 4 Klingons a moment ago. It’s now 5. It’s like another one literally walked through the wall.”
“Now we’re gettin’ somewhere,” Mara said. Her lips pulled back in a feral smile. “Let’s go make ‘em regret that decision. Take us there. Weapons hot, team.”
I want to pry open some of those shielded crates, but I can’t risk splittin’ the team or slowin’ down enough for us all to do it.
She switched channels.
“Calleja to Artemis. Engine room is secured, Han is workin’ to take control supported by Okehampton and team. Bridge team takin’ fire. We’re investigatin’ the cargo and accordin’ to the tricorder we literally got Klingons comin’ out the walls. Will report back.”
All members of the away team were able to hear the report. Mara wasn’t going to speak for Givens - she was pretty sure the Captain was more than able to speak for herself.
As the rest of her team raised their rifles and picked up the pace, Mara’s grip tightened on the type II she had in one hand as she drew her machete with the other. The Bandaran was an average marksman but punched way above her weight in melee, and she was ready for any Klingon that tried to jump the Star Fleet team.
== Tags all! GM input please - what does Mara’s team find when they get to the far wall? How do the Klingons react? ==
