Aaron cursed under his breath, there was only so much that they could do though. “Get a security team to check the Captain’s quarters, if we haven’t heard from her yet she’s probably injured somewhere. However, the Captain would be the first to say that the ship and the crew come first. Get the rest of your security teams out around the ship, helping to transport injured crew. I want every crew member accounted for.”

Stepping down from where the turbolift, Aaron made his way to the center of the bridge.

“Tactical just keep as many of the bigger rocks off of our hull until we get shields back online.”

=^= Foley to Stadi. I sure hope you’ve got some good news for us Chief. =^=

Cmdr. Foley - XO

=^= Not as much as I’d like to Commander, we’ve got damage on decks 7, 8 and 9. I’m dispatching teams to deal with decks 7 and 9.=^= He said into his commbadge while tapping away at the ops panel and sending his orders to the repair teams. Hopefully they were in much better shape than he was to get to problems. =^=There’s a hull breach on deck 8 that almost took me with it, but I got lucky and was able to get my way to safety. In the Battle Bridge right now, working to co-ordinate repair efforts. Force-fields are not coming up stable to seal the breach. Cadet Onovren and I are currently working on containment options.=^=

Stepping out of the turbolift, Aaron and NE Stevens felt a wave of panic coming from the bridge officers. When Aaron nodded at him, NE Stevens quickly goes toward the nearest science station to finish the deflectors calibration and wait for the Lieutenant signal to confirm the modifications. As for Aaron, he walked toward Rodier and Fooley, who were probably making the point on the situation.

“They’ve already been dispatched, sir,” Henry replied. “Diverting a team to fetch the Captain now.” The Chief continued up to the secondary Tactical station - he had no plans to take over for the primary Ops officer, who he accepted was much more capable at that position than he could be. But he did speak quietly to the secondary officer, “You’re relieved, NE Kyos. Take NCs Jills and Pin, check on the Captain and report back.”

As Kyos’s distinctive heavy footsteps tromped away, her right hand already reaching for her commbadge, Henry took up a position at her now-vacated station - mostly so he could more effectively advise the XO. With everything urgent seemingly being taken care of to the best of the ship and crew’s capability, Rodier tapped his badge one final time, keeping his voice low and one eye on the blood coming from his CO’s head. =^= Rodier to Sickbay, once things have calmed down send a doctor to the Bridge. =^=

OOC: I’m not sure how to RP checking for the Captain, but there’s a team of 3 headed to his/her quarters.

Watching the NEs leaving the bridge, Aaron did notice the absence of the CO, which was worrying in a period of crisis. As much as he wanted to ask Foley about the Captain’s situation, he knew he was as clueless as him, and how frustrating can it be.

Approaching the two officers, Aaron spoke up: “Commander, I think I have good news. We may have found a solution to deal with the asteroids.”

Lieutenant JG Aaron Williams - CSO

=^=Onovren to Stadi, NE Tender has eyes on the problem, we think we can fix the damaged subspace field and restore computer control. Permission to cut power to deck eight and go for a walk?=^=

-Kalos Onovren, Engineer

=^=Permission granted, most crew should have evacuated this deck unless they got stuck like I am. Make sure to leave emergency power on, I want to still be able to coordinate from my location on the Battle Bridge and that should allow that. Plus we’ve got Life Support and Environmentals on this deck and I’d rather not lose those right now. Take a team in EVAs just in case and see what you can do about it, sounds like a patch and replace job for the damaged conduits. Probably have damaged subprocessors in the core too. I’ll work on co-ordinating you and the teams, just get the holes in my ship to close.=^=

-Lt. jg Dael Stadi, CE (cross-post Deck 8)

OOC: For the Captain, leave it open ended for now. No need to actually RP that out unless David ends up using it as his way into the simm.

IC:
Aaron was juggling multiple different streams of information coming in at one time as he took in everything that was happening. It didn’t help that he was also making his own assessment of the damage reports coming in.

“One minute Lt Williams.”

=^= Understood Lieutenant. Do what you need to do to stabilize the ship, and get shields back online. Keep me informed of your progress. =^= As much as he wanted to know every detail going on, he had more important things to keep track of right now.

=^=Will do sir.=^=

-Lt.jg Dael Stadi, CE (crosspost)

“Lt Rodier, I want a head count. What are our causality numbers looking like?” Aaron asked turning towards Lt Williams.
Henry gave a curt nod and turned to his station, pressing the comm button. =^= All security personnel: I want crew status reports sent to my station as soon as possible. Work with Medical as necessary, just get me a head count. =^=

The Lieutenant figured that mission couldn’t be too difficult, given the fact that the majority of his department was already scouring the ship with doctors in tow looking for the injured and dead. Nevertheless, it didn’t slip his mind that much of the crew would assume the security chief’s station wasn’t secondary. So, turning to the Ops officer, he added, “Ensign, reroute all intra-ship messages and reports to my station.”

“Alright Mr. Williams, I can use any good news you’ve got.”

Cmdr. Foley - XO
Aaron began, moving his hands as he talk: “Basically, the main problems about those asteroids are their electrical charges. I think it allows them to create an electromagnetic field around them that renders our deflector beam ineffective, Hopefully, we can modify the deflector beam to match the frequencies of those magnetic waves and repulse the asteroid. We have already made the necessary modification on the disruptor beam parameters and are ready to engage it whenever you wan-“

A chirp sounded from the comm system, a small shuttle was approaching the Challenger but from what could be told, it was in a bad way. It was losing power and it’s approach was erratic, the shuttle flying at an odd angle like it was struggling to move. The message that came through was scrambled slightly, either from the energy in the asteroids or damage to the shuttle itself.

=/\= Challenger this… Shut… Geralt, … need … assist. … hit by asteroids .... power, thrust… damag.. and con… erratic....trapped with .. Frankenstein, req.... tracto … Shuttle bay. =/\=

Captain Rhodes, CO
Looking at the shuttle, Aaron’s confident face turns pale. He once saw a shuttle losing his controls at the Academy, with all the damage it caused and the victims dislocated bodies lying on the ground, and wished to never see such a disaster again. If any god has ever heard his wish, he surely was in a mocking mood today.

Holding his breath, Aaron gives an anguished look at Foley, waiting for his instructions.

Leaving the bridge, Kalos headed to deck eight where he could get to the computer core.

-Kalos Onovren, Engineer
~ Lt. jr. gr. Rodier - CoS

At one of the Ops stations, the NE manning it turned slightly to the Command Staff. “Our tractor beam is operational, but at reduced power. I think we can get the shuttle into the hangar bay but we might need an emergency crew if it has a plasma leak.”

Ops NE

“Well what are you all standing there for. Let’s get that shuttle towed in. Mr. Williams, as soon as that shuttle is clear, you are to proceed with your plan. Anything we can do to keep those asteroids off of us so we can do repairs will be appreciated.”

=^= Bridge to Sickbay. Emergency medical team to the main shuttle bay. We are tractoring in a shuttle that got caught in the same asteroid field that we did. =^=

Without waiting for a response, Aaron closed the channel and opened another one to Stadi. =^= Foley to Stadi. What’s the chances that you would be able to give me a transporter room? =^=
