== GM - Me! ==
== The Broken Arrow ==
The world inside the Broken Arrow did not end with a bang, but with a dissolve.
Just as the hull began to groan under the stress of the final structural collapse, the familiar, high-pitched whine of the Federation transporter beam cut through the silence of the vacuum. Lt Powl's lock was absolute. The "daisy chain" of pattern enhancers did their job, cutting through the lead interference like a scalpel.
== USS Zephyr: Sickbay ==
Materialization is usually a seamless process, but transporting twelve massive cryo-pods and four officers simultaneously pushes the Zephyr's buffer to the limit. The air in sickbay displaces with a thunderous crack of ozone and displaced atmosphere.
Suddenly, the room is very, very crowded.
The twelve alien pods materialize in a tight formation in the center of the surgical bay, hovering centimeters off the deck before their gravity clamps engage with a heavy metallic thud. The amber lights on the pods are still glowing, but they are pulsing faster now. The "flash charge" Cortez provided is fading. You have maybe thirty seconds to connect them to the Zephyr's power grid before the magnetic fields fail.
As for the the away team, Lt Gath materialized with the heavy alien Data Module gripped firmly in his hand. He is safe. Cdr Keir materialized near the bio-beds. Though momentarily disoriented by the sudden shift in gravity, s/he is safe and is the ranking officer on the deck, positioned to organize the chaos. A'kilees & Ra'an, both Materialized safely, though disoriented by the sudden return of artificial gravity. Dr. O'Fee and Mid Cortez, They materialize together, O'Fee's hand still pressed against the breach in Cortez's suit.
The moment the beam drops, the danger shifts. Cortez is no longer in a vacuum, but he is hyperventilating in a sealed suit that is now venting atmosphere into the room. The suit's bio-monitors are screaming alarms.
== USS Zephyr: Bridge ==
On the main viewscreen of the bridge, the ancient ship simply gives up.
Deprived of the structural integrity field and subjected to the stress of the transport beam, the Broken Arrow shatters. It doesn't explode; it simply disintegrates into a cloud of lead and polymer dust, joining the debris field it had traveled through for a all those years.
== The Aura Shuttlecraft ==
The collapse sent a kinetic shockwave of debris hurtling outward. Brennan was now flying solo in a debris field that just got a lot denser. He would need to execute evasive maneuvers to clear the cloud before aligning the Aura's return vector to the Zephyr's main shuttlebay.
