Svenson and Loren are able to secure the Klingons, binding their hands with little trouble. As Svenson comes over to K'Deela, the situation becomes worse. If it had just been a disruptor, the wounds would probably have been relatively mild. As it was, the mek'leth had sliced down from the left shoulder, across the chest, and then stopped in the right arm where K'Deela had brought it up out of reflex. There was a lot of blood, and the slice deep in the arm could potentially be very serious. They needed a doctor, and quickly.
Pearson wrestled with 'Drongo'. While he wasn't able to use right arm well, the Klingon also couldn't get a strong grip on that side either due to all the blood preventing his getting a hand hold. Fortunately, Pearson had help. He used his bodyweight to pivot the Klingon to one side, presenting Ostberg with a beautiful target for his hypospray, which went in without an issue.
Unfortunately, medicine isn't always exact, and there are always outliers who have adverse reactions. When the anesthezine went in, for a second the Klingon went limp. But then, as it began to flood his bloodstream, he went into a berserker fury instead, bowling over Pearson with a roar and swinging a powerful fist into Ostberg that sent him sliding across the floor. Then he began to charge.
==The roar provides enough of an opening for someone to react if they want.==
==Engine Room==
As Han begins trying to diagnose the problem, several things become evident fairly quickly. First, many of the consoles are locked out, flashing with warnings that can't be stopped or removed, while some others are just smashed. It seems the Klingons had some anger issues. Second, from the translation her tricorder was giving, it seemed that one of the "fixes" whatever passed for an engineer on this freighter had attempted was to remove the governor on the reactor, so it could provide more power than it was supposed to.
Power that currently had nowhere to go.
There was some evidence that they had eventually figured this out and were attempting to reroute power towards the engines somehow, but there didn't seem to be much of a rhyme or reason to what they were doing, so far as Han could tell; they were doing it all through trial and error. However, that didn't much matter at this point: with the reactor trying to overload, they needed to shut it down, and the interface panels weren't up to the task at the moment. They would need to find the manual controls for the reactor. Fortunately, since engineering was right next to the reactor, it shouldn't be far.

Fortunately for the security team, Doyle was watching their back, because two of the Klingons had circled behind and began to fire at them. Meanwhile, two more were attacking, one from either side of the assembled team as they reached the far wall.
The far wall, where two Klingons were waiting, making a total of six. One of them appeared to have just stepped out from behind a stack of crates that was swinging on well-oiled hinges, revealing a corridor beyond running the length of the ship. The Klingons began opening fire, but the Starfleet team was fortunately ready for them.
==Assume you see them as they open fire and can react accordingly. Ambushing wary opponents is hard!==
