A call came in to the Bridge from Thorn: [Thorn to Br-dge, I've got...bzzzt...or a hull breach here...bzzt...deck...fzzz...I'm going to *loud metallic sound)*BZZZZT...]
There had been the sound of an impact of some kind as the last bit of the comm suddenly cut out, but it was timed at the same moment as the ship was hit by another shot. After that was silence and the channel was closed. Efforts to locate her would show her and a Damage Control Team were on the forward port, but her comm badge was blinking in and out, likely the reason the comm was lost and making it impossible to lock onto her as internal sensors in that area for a 5 deck range were damaged and highly erratic, but indicating debris and loss of pressure. Further investigation would reveal minor structural damage spanning decks 5 thru 9. It had mostly been affecting labs and quarters that had been evacuated. The external hull damage wasn't too bad, but the weaker internal structures were damaged and were sealed off. Structural integrity was beginning to return, so whatever the crew was doing, it was working, but Thorn was currently out of contact. Such damage wasn't uncommon, but it could be quite traumatic if you were in such an area without an EVA suit when it happened.
Another message came across OPS in text form only: [Repairs in progress, casualties minimal, updates to follow. Structural integrity should be restored in 12.5 seconds.]
The format of the text indicated that it was being reported by one of the drones in the area, but that it reported to OPS indicated that it had been directed to do so by someone. With the Master Systems Display down, it was hard for the Bridge to have a good overview of everything going on. They were going to have to try and monitor systems one screen at a time and rotate through them for updates. Comm traffic could be monitored to indicate that a couple of the team had been near the breach when another shot had hit in almost the same spot as the previous one, causing it to penetrate and it took out some of the individual comms. It was not clear who had been considered casualties at this time, but the crew was working feverishly to close up the hull with welding a patch in place. Efforts to access their remaining helmet feeds would show that a couple of the team were pretty scorched and at least one was being assisted out of the area while the others worked. At least one of the team in the badly scorched suits was Thorn, but it was hard to tell which one it was with the bright light of a plasma welder going.
== Close inspection might give it away, as Thorn was known to be only 5'2" tall. That would be the person almost hidden in the hole and doing most of the welding. ==
== Tag OPS...or whoever feels like taking it... ==
