Posted by Fleet Captain Drudoc Andone (CO) in Main Sim - Engineering Teams - Attack Begins!
[snip]

No sooner had the engineering teams aided by NE security guards gotten the Red Matter prepared warheads to the manual launching system on deck 36, when the Ark Angel was jostled by some outside force, Red alert alarms rang out with the Captain’s ship wide call of =/\= Red Alert! All hands to battle stations! =/\= A moment later the sound of the Ark Angel returning fire to the outside force, was heard and the aft burst fire torpedo launcher automatically firing and reloading was seen.

Down the hall outside the partly open door, a pair of screams from some female NEs was heard, glancing that way down the hall the engineering team would see the pair of security guards who had just left in a rush getting cut in two by a trio of 6‘0 tall dark black Serpent aliens two wielded large Scythe like blades in two of their four arms, while the third held some kind of organic looking box device, and was pointing their way!

Thankfully arming themselves with Type-2 or 3’s wasnt too hard being the launching room was one of the areas that held a 8 type-2’s and a pair of type-3 rifles for such events.

OOC: Bump!

“Make sure none of the torpedoes get knocked over!” NLt (jg) Pavarnick said at the combat started to be heard over the alert and the streamlined loading of the torpedoes into their tubes. He peeked outside of the door when he heard the commotion and saw what could only be explained as chaos from outside. He jumped back inside and in somewhat of a panic shouted a command to the computer. =^= “Computer! Seal this door and activate the security barrier!” =^= The door shut with it’s normal ‘tsss’ sound and the sound of the lock could be heard as it sealed it closed. The flicker of a field could be seen as it activated in the doorway.

The other NE’s looked questioningly at the NLt (jg) as he ran over to one of the walls holding the weapons. He pulled off a few type-2 phasers and tossed them to the 3 other Engineers in the room who started to look as if they were about to panic. Pulling one of the type 3 rifles off the wall he aimed and shot at the manual override fusing it closed as he shielded his face from the shower of sparks it produced from destroying the mechanism. “Whatever those serpent things are.. they’re in the hallway. Jameson, let the Chief know that we’ve been boarded! The rest of you get into position, we can’t let them get in here. If this red matter in these torpedoes get’s exposed .. this entire ship will destroy itself from the inside out ..” He steadied himself on one of the walls aiming down the sites of the rifle. His hands shook as he could hear his own breathing. He didn’t want to do this. This was way more than he signed up for, but he couldn’t let anything happen to this room. Too many people were at risk. The other’s seemed just as panicked and shakey as him, but understood the risks as well and gathered enough courage to watch the door as NE Jameson headed to the wall to the comm system.

OOC: I’ll cross post this section to the main sim

=/\= NE Jameson to Chief Emmitt. W-we’re down here in the torpedo room sir.. Deck 36. NLt Pavarnick says we’ve been boarded? T-there’s only 4 of us here sir .. please send help! =/\=
