AT/D02 - Bridge
#70
As the Klingon vessel seemed to hang in space, Tyra mentally considered the likely outcomes of this moment. Unlike Givens, interdiction had not been a specialty of hers during her time as a security officer, which she wasn't overly disappointed about given the often monotonous nature of interdiction patrols, but she had plenty of experience with the boarding side of the equation courtesy of her years with CSAR. In fact, she had frequently taught the boarding portion of the Advanced Interdiction course at the Academy, which meant she had also sat through the interdiction portions more times than she had wanted to count. Per the textbook, compliance to interdiction inspections sat at 80% but personally, Tyra felt it had to be closer to 50-50 in moments like this. This certainly felt like a toss up.

One that they apparently lost as the Klingon ship decided to take a pop shot at their shields before darting off into the nebula in a very un-Klingon-like manner. There was a moment of red alert as her mind briefly considered why it might have darted off but it was overridden by a surge of confidence that hopefully wouldn't bite them in the ass.

"Oh! That's the game you want to play. Okay, *******. Game on. Take us to Red Alert," her tone was firm with a hard edge but her lips were pulled into a grin that bordered on predatory.

"Midshipman, here's your chance to show me what you've got. Hunt 'em down," she said to pilot before turning in her chair slightly.

"Grant, as soon as we're in range, I want their shields taken down, weapons offline and then, engines. If they decide to do anything stupid like ramming us, make their engines a priority."

She paused as she considered something, pondering how much multitasking was needed for what she was asking for. "And transfer control of the tractor beam either to Commander Omdor or Captain Givens. We might need it."

"Science, please keep an eye out for any other ships lurking in the nebula. I don't want to walk into a ambush, though I don't think that would end well for them."

With those orders given, she glanced down to note a message on her console from Givens. [Klingons don't typically choose retreat as their opening tactic. Could be Syndicate or anyone who fancies the joys of Klingon craftsmanship.

Do you want me to summon engineering and medical to support the boarding team?]

Tyra turned her head to look at the other captain and nodded her head, catching sight of Calleja in the process. She arched her eyebrow up slightly at the unusual visitor to the bridge, surprised she wasn't in the transporter room already even though she was dressed for it. She must have dressed in a hurry and practically ran to the bridge to get there that quickly.

Or she lives in the body armor…I wouldn't be shocked.

== Captain Cassandra Givens ==

There was absolutely no surprise when the Klingon vessel opened fire; Cass had seen her fair share of brazen and outright bizarre reactions when confronted. However, the Klingon ship's progression into a tactical bailout was surprising and led Cass to suspected it likely was not Klingon smugglers. In considering that, she had to acknowledge that if this was not a Klingon operation, there was a chance that the ship would either surrender upon being hunted down or upon boarding.

Either way, medical and engineering support would likely be needed for the boarding team as they were obligated to treat wounded and keep the ship from falling apart under their feet. She still remembered the first time she'd led her own boarding action on a smuggling ship and after refusing to bring an engineer along, she was forced to call home and request instructions on how to turn off the ship's self-destruct without the cooperation of its crew. She hadn't lived that down with the Chief for years.

Fortunately, Crawford agreed with her suggestion, offering her a nod to her message. She quickly set out notifying the appropriate department heads. Despite the fact that Omdor wasn't far away, she still elected to send him a quick message to prevent having to yell across the bridge.

[Captain would like an engineer on stand by to support the boarding team. Do you have someone you can spare to report to the transporter room?]

With that sent, she contacted Sickbay quietly. "Givens to Sickbay. The Captain is requesting a member of the medical staff to report to the transporter room to support a potential boarding action. Thank you."

Now, she leaned back in her chair and reached for the harness, not quite trusting that their new midshipman might not kill them in her excitement to stretch her legs.
