==Combined CO and CO-GM post to get us moving and the people still on the ship engaged.==
Jenny's eyes narrowed as Lockley restated his intention to revive Kiernan before they moved anyone, narrowing further as Jensen's message about the incoming Cardassian threat accelerating, and now having a third of the time they initially believed they had to evacuate the Franklin and decide what to do with her. To his credit, Qi continued to try and defuse the situation by appealing to Lockley's responsibilities; he was bending the truth a little bit, but Lockley didn't know that.
Not that it seemed to have worked, as Lockley continued to reach for the controls.
Jenny's hand lashed out in a flash, her petite physique belying her agility and strength as it clamped around Lockley's wrist and forced the arm behind his back. Several loud pops and cracks indicated that she had at the very least jarred the joints in his arm, though the grimace on his face and the way he clenched his teeth instead spoke to a probable dislocation. Before she had a chance to say anything however, the console on the cryopod beeped - Lockley had just managed to reactivate the resuscitation process.
Damn you. Now we either risk one life transporting a half-defrosted academic, or everyone's life waiting.
Realistically, it was no decision at all. One life vs almost two hundred between the Franklin and the woefully-understaffed Yeager. With her free hand she tapped her commbadge.
"Braggins to Yeager. Beam the Away Team and every cryopod to the Cargo Bay, now! Have Security and Medical on standby."
Lockley tried to wriggle free of Jenny's grip, but she held firm as the transport sequence initialised.
