Slowly the ops station noted various systems restarting and coming back on line.

“He’s doing good work,” Grayson noted. “How about casualties? Did we lose anyone and is the sickbay secure?”

Captain Rhodes, CO

=/\=Onovren to bridge, Ensign Tender has restored power and gravity in the core and we are beginning our work. We can have this done in an hour.=/\=

-Kalos Onovren, Engineer (Comms from deck 08, Secondary computer core)

=^= Good work Cadet and Ensign. We are starting to see systems come back online here. Drinks are on me when we finally get out of this. =^=

Aaron let out a sigh of relief, the last thing he needed was the ship to fall apart more while their new Captain was standing right next to him.

“Right after we got hit I had Lt Rodier start a sweep with his security teams from top to bottom of the ship to get a count on the crew,” Aaron said turning back towards the Captain.

“Lt Rodier. Where are we with the head count?”

Henry turned from his station to face the Commander, also stealing a glance at his new Captain. A strong face, he thought. But not without kindness.

“Teams are just finishing their sweeps, sir,” he replied, not bothering to note that he’d begun the sweep before he’d been ordered to. “I’ve so far gotten word of four confirmed casualties, with many more injured.” Noting Grayson’s other question, he added, “Sickbay was undamaged, but I expect they’re working near capacity.”

Aaron silently cursed, that was 4 to many casualties in his mind. Why had the field not been picked up on sensors, he wondered. But for now it was something they would have to investigate after they got free.

“Thank you Lieutenant. Report in once your teams have finished their sweep.

“Helm, how far have we moved? Lt Williams, how is your modified deflector holding up?”

Cmdr. Foley - XO
Quickly looking at the science station’s screen, Aaron didn’t see anything abnormal in the data stream. As if it was working normally, the deflector was repulsing the asteroids without any struggle, and the ship was moving on steadily.

“The deflector is effective and still functional, sir”, Aaron replied. “We might bring the deflector parameter back to the normal when we go out of the field if we want it to work like before, but it won’t be a problem.”

The deflector screen was working just fine and the ship was moving forward just fine. A few more minutes and the Challenger would be out of harm’s way and ready to do whatever repairs it saw fit to do before heading out on its next mission.

“Good work Lieutenant. Once we are clear go ahead return the deflector to normal operating settings while we hold to finish enough repairs to head back.”

Aaron paced across the bridge as he waited for the Challenger to finally move free from the asteroid field, the last thing they needed was for another hit right when they were the most vulnerable.

“Sir, we are clear of the field,” the helmsmen said a few minutes later.

Letting out a sigh of relief Aaron stopped his pacing and turned towards the helm.

“Put 100,000 kilometers between us and the field helm, and hold us there.”

=^= Bridge to engineering. We are free of the field. Let’s get the Challenger patched up and headed home. =^=
