A pang of disappointment went through Ian as a faintly-glowing box extinguished itself when it hit the ground; his CO sounded both disappointed in him and unbothered by the item’s demise. Ian knew he was lucky the Chief had a backup, and that the item hadn’t been crucial to the mission. Still, it was undoubtedly in bad taste that he should break the relaxation tool of his commanding officer. The irony was not lost on him as Jadaris gave him a task that was mission-related.
But then Cassidy spoke. It was directly to Ian, and he tried to process the words as a very loud whooshing pounded in his ears. “…whole spine is mechanical, too, besides… …replace the other…”
Before the young (foolish) man could even start to think about the chroniton integrator, let alone other places the CMO could have cybernetics, the ship shook violently as the hull undoubtedly breached somewhere. By some small miracle, Ian managed to not fall into somebody this time, and it was instantaneous that Red Alert kicked in throughout the Yeager.
Cassidy was gone, and Jadaris was in action; Ian was still finding his footing, as of course where he had landed was on his ass. The Gorn was pressing buttons at a frantic pace, and now he was speaking to Ian, who still wasn’t sure if his world was askew or not.
“Elliot. Coordinate with emergency team Alpha. If things go wrong, we’ll need to decompress the aeroshuttle bay, and I need someone at the deck systems override to initiate decompression procedures.”
The words he heard first were “decompress the aeroshuttle bay”, and his brain caught him up from there as the rest of him kicked into gear. “Uh, right.” He replied, getting his hands on a console next to his Chief. Jadaris was working on something Ian didn’t quite understand, but then again, his specialty wasn’t exactly fire-fighting.
Unsatisfied with what the computer was telling him, the Chief Engineer went and got himself what Ian casually referred to as a HAZMAT suit, and began asking the computer where he could beam in. Ian frowned, bringing up the layout of all the power conduits in that area, seeing which ones were outlined in black (for nonfunctional), red (in danger of rupturing), orange (failure of some kind), yellow (malfunctioning), and green (fully functional).
==GM: Yes, I do use Apple Maps, why do you ask? =P
Are decompression controls operable?
And I know it’s slightly predictable, but can you please also tell me which conduits are in trouble?==
