The focus turned. The Drachin had another enemy again. The shuttle. The creatures were not as much corporeal as ‘corporeal energy’ and as the repulsor struck the one it was pushed back inasmuch as energy versus energy allowed. Was it hanging in the air? That was uncertain in the twilight light in the Bay. What was certain was that Polis had made it mad. It pushed against the beam, sparks and energy shooting from it and highlighting it in a blaze of energy. It also made it a visible target.

What was unexpected was the other Drachin suddenly appearing at the side of the shuttle, clamping onto it and discharging its own energy at it. The shuttle (and itself) lit up as much as the other in a cascade of energy surrounding it and the shuttle. Inside, Polis found himself getting hot, and the energy ‘leaking’ through from the Drachin and coursing down corners and along the ceiling like fingers of fire. His console sparked, discharges connecting with his fingers and throwing him back, shaking on the deck, fingers and one hand burned.

Aliss saw the creatures and shouted, “Targets!” and fired at the one at the shuttle with a sustained blast.

OOC: They are burns .. nothing permanent damage but something second degree which can be healed

Johnson’s head cleared, but he realized his plan was coming into shambles. He couldn’t vent the shuttle bay until Polis was rescued…

He moved Judas’s green hand aside to get a better idea of the tactical situation. “Aliss, Treyarch, keep focusing your phasers on the Drachin trapping Polis. Judas, start distracting the other one if it is able to free itself.”

Johnson tapped his communicator as he went down under cover again. =/\= Bridge, how are transporters? I need an emergency medical transport for Cadet Polis. =/\=

The scene became surreal .. Aliss and others were able to target the Drachin more easily due to the energy profile around the shuttle. It was not taking it well and its energy discharges were weakening. Still it seemed to have done something as the repulsor sputtered and winked out. At that moment though, something in the shuttle fought back and a plasma conduit blew out next to the Drachin. Energy coursed through it throwing it off the shuttle, but phaser energy kept it locked into it. It let out a loud, piercing, guttural scream and then it simply .. winked out.

“Focus on the other one!” Johnson yelled out.

The other, suddenly freed from the repulsor started to move quickly toward where the Captain was. Lightning flashed from it in their direction, though it was not targeted well and flashed around but only winged one security crewman, throwing him around and to the deck. At the instant of the explosion and apparent demise of its rival colleague it stopped. A moment later, finding itself the focus of phaser fire it launched itself in another direction, toward the ‘time tunnel’.

Just before it reached that, Ang barreled through and passed through a shower of sparks from the Drachin and just missed getting pegged by a phaser shot. The Drachin leaped into the tunnel where, at that moment, the tunnel, previously invisible to the eye flared in a yellow-orange display that lit up the whole of the Hangar Bay. Then it, too, flared out .. and all was silent but for the small fires created by the Drachin and phaser fire.

OOC: Feel free to play out the end battle and such. Polis, if you wanted to have a heroic ‘cause’ to the plasma explosion feel free. Your hands will work, but will hurt like hell doing it. .. Gene

Cadet Polis looked around from the floor of the shuttlepod, ears ringing and a shooting pain rushing through his left arm. He focused his vison down to his hand. It was blackend and blistering. He remembered now, the panel exploding while he was working at it. He clutched his arm in close careful not to touch it off his body. With his right arm he pulled himself off the floor grabbing the chair for support.
He looked out the front viewer at the aftermath. With no sign of the alien beings he reached the rear of the pod and opened the door, stepping out into the shuttlebay. He glanced round again looking to the Captain. He was still prepared for orders but seeking medical attention was high on his priorities.

Cadet Polis, Security

“Cease fire, everyone.,” Johnson said, beginning to survey the situation.

Aliss was torn between two directions. She saw the Chief coming out of the .. portal .. alone. And she saw the fires. And she saw Polis staggering out of the Bay. The lights were flickering brighter. =^= Aliss to fire control teams. We have multiple small fires in main shuttle bay. Auto-Suppression appears offline. =^= She said that as she wnet o help Polis. “The doctor is just over here - or at least was. =^= she said as she reached out to help him .. rewarded by only grasping air as he was beamed away. “I hope that was a good thing …” she murmured.

OOC: Trying to marry the bridge and this one … edited the above

Ang hit something hard, curled into a ball and reflexively rolled as shots, fires and sparks rang around her. For a moment she wasn’t sure what was from the portal, what was from the ‘past’ and what was from the present. As reality and time snapped back into place, there was a small pop in her ears and she found herself half curled in a ball on the deck of the bay where the shuttle had stopped her roll.

Slowly, the half Klingon blinked her eyes and looked around. The near silence was almost as deafening as the cacophony of battle. She saw someone beamed out a few feet away and gently pushed herself to a sitting position and surveyed the area to see how bad things were. She wasn’t quite ready to stand up, but her mind was starting to clear up and take stock in her surroundings.

“Welcome back chief,” she said as her eyes focused on her, partly in surprise and partly in relief.

Just then, the XO’s voice came over from the bridge. =^=Vale to Captain Johnson, we’re one minute to clear the solar system, when can we expect the bay to be clear of our personnel so we can safely vent these beings out?=^=

Johnson was almost ready to burst out in hysterical laughter. He tapped his communicator. =/\= Belay that, Commander. The situation seems to be… resolved. Reduce engines, send a damage team to the shuttle bay, and see how the rest of the ship is doing. I’ll be there shortly. =/\=

Johnson looked around the shuttle bay. “Status report, everyone.”

-Captain Johnson, CO

Aliss had her tricorder out. “Residual chroniton readings but nothing specific. The portal is gone, sir.” Her nose curled at the smoking hulk of the shuttle. “And one casualty in the form of a shuttle.”

Snapping the tricorder away she moved to a wall to find a fire suppressor unit - bay sized - and began to unroll the hose assembly. It was meant for large scale blazes, usually in a great deal of emergency equipment, but she figured this worked with a lot of small blazes.

Aliss, Eng

Ang managed to get to her feet and headed towards the door to the bay. “Thank you,” she nodded to Aliss as she fetched a suppression unit, two other NEs helping her with the hose and console. She moved to the CO and smiled, though the look on her face was one of such fatigue as was seen after two days of no sleep and trying times. “England, with luck, is safe, Sir. And I have pretty good reason to believe the console that created the rift is destroyed and unusable.”

Taking a deep breath, she moved to the bay’s console beside the door and began typing furiously. She could collapse later. Right now, she was an engineer on a ship that needed an engineer. “I’ll get the status of the bay integrity, Sir. You… I’m sorry I don’t know your name,” she hollered to Aliss. “What can you tell me ‘right now’ about hull damage outside this room, or damage beyond the shuttle,” she nodded towards the fires they were putting out. Even without knowing who was who, she would figure out how to pull herself up by the bootstraps and worry about everything else later.

“Aliss, Chief,” she said. She wasn’t a large girl with vague Asian features, but she hauled the hose like a pro. “Warp drive is shut down due to the random power fluctuations from the creatures. Their energy arced like lightning with no clear path but disrupted systems, power and blew out other systems, but the hull is intact. We’ve just got a lot of little repairs to do for a while. And put Humpty back together again,” she said, her thumb hooking toward the shuttle.
