Suddenly, the ship shook like it had been hit (while still at warp). Power flickered and the ship went automatically to red alert.

“We took a direct hit to power distribution on Deck 5! It causes uneven power throughout the deck and is spreading,” one of the NEs called out. “Blown EPS relays, manifold glitches. I’m not sure we can keep steady power to essential systems.”

Tor looked around and spied the new Cadet and yelled “Garret! With me!” Just then the comms activated. =^=Foley to Engineering. How bad is it?=^= Tor tapped his commbadge and said =/\= Tor here, Captain. It’s bad. We need to take all systems off line for at least ten minutes so we can cycle the relays, clear the overloads, and recalibrate the power distribution. And we need to drop warp now! =/\= He looked at Garret and said “Start taking all non-essential systems off line right away at their main power junctions. Prioritize safety systems and life support for remaining online… and weapons and shields. And Cadet?” He looked at the fledgling officer and set a large blue hand on their shoulder. “That impact felt like something hit us… meaning a weapon. I may be wrong, but take a phaser with you, okay?” He nodded and then went to the Main Engineering Control station and began trying to get ahead of the cascading power surges.

Tor, CE

=^=Understood. Get me shields back as quickly as possible. I don’t want to be a sitting duck.=^=

Switching channels Aaron opened a ship wide channel. =^=All hands brace for emergency stop.=^=

“Lieutenant Tor, I need a full report on the structural integrity of Deck 5. Prioritize repairs on life support and containment fields.”

Commander Halcyone
(Executive Officer)

“Lieutenant Lis, since the cargo is fine, you can review senor data and see if we can determine how the Orions manage to catch us off guard, and Lieutenant Tor, coordinate getting the systems are back online, then make sure repairs on Deck 5 are underway afterwards.”

Commander Halcyone
(Executive Officer)

The cascade had made it to the Quantum Physics Lab and shut it down and some parts of engineering, but so far hadn’t affected critical systems. But there was notable damage to relays around Holodecks 1 and 2.

=^=Foley to Engineering. How are we looking Chief?=^=

Capt Foley - CO (crosspost)

It had been a few minutes since his last message, but it probably didn’t feel like it to the engineers.
=^=Foley to Engineering. Chief, I need something here. How long until we can get shields back?=^=

Before Tor could reply, the ship was shook hard. The comm to the bridge was still open so the very lous person up there reporting was heard down in Engineering as well. =/\=Direct hit! Deck 5 again. Shields at 80%.=/\= The ship shook again, even harder. =/\=Damage to port nacel-=/\= Another hit. =/\=Direct hit to Deck 5, Power Distribution. We having power issues all over the ship. Shields are fluctuating. Sensors are… variable.=/\=

Pilar’s boots pounded against the deck as she sprinted through the narrow corridors of the starship towards Engineering. The alarms wailed continuously and urgent voices rang out over the comms, blending into a backdrop of chaos that was now all too familiar. Each shudder of the ship was felt deep in her bones, a reminder of the assault they were under.
As she reached the hatch to Engineering, another violent jolt nearly threw her off balance. She gritted her teeth, grabbed the edge of the door for support, and pushed herself through the doors.
Engineering was busy with frantic activity. Crew members darted between consoles, their faces etched with determination and fear. The air was thick with the acrid smell of burning circuits. She could feel the heat of the overworked systems radiating even from where she was.
“Everything is going to be okay” she called out, her voice cutting through the room as she ran to a console to assist. She wasn’t confident in her statement but she needed to keep the crew going so they could figure out how to keep the ship together until the Orion attack passed. “Let’s try to keep these systems functional. Many lives on this ship depend on it.”
