The NEs nearby soon came back, “..Power is stable in this section no problems to report or possibly developing.” NE Jenkins reported. “..From the fragments in the corridor looks like the asteroid rolled down this hull section after breaching the hull.” Jenkins went on.

“I suggest we transport the rock to a Planetary Science lab on Deck Thirteen. That way we can study it and your team can do what they can to repair the breech.”
Claude suggested, unsure what steps the Engineering crew had already taken.

Sharah, having traversed several corridors and gone through a few Jeffries’s tubes, as the turbo lifts were being repaired, was just coming around the corner and heard Genard suggest the transporter. They were still down so she made a quick about face and headed back towards a supply closet. Several moments later she returned. “Sorry everyone, transporters are still down. So here are individual tractor beams and a couple anti-grav sleds. The freight turbolift is working so you should be able to get whatever moved and brought down that you need.” She left the equipment to the side of corridor and walked over to Genard. “Not my area of expertise, Genard, so tell me what I can do to help, or you can politely tell me you’ll give me a report when you have it if I’d just be in the way.” Sharah went out of her way to make sure her officers new she trusted their judgement in their fields before her own. She would not feel hurt at all if he were to tell her to take a step back. It was why she had put Genard in charge of the general labs. Not just making a shift supervisor but the lab head over all. He knew what he was doing and she didn’t need to micro manage. That being said she was more than willing to also take direction from him if she could be of use.

Frowning at the flickering relay, Caelian shook his head and motioned to one of his team. “Jackson, would you mind helping them get that rock out of the way so we can start repairs? Getting to be too many cooks in this kitchen.”

“We’ll be back in a jiff, boss,” she replied, giving him a conciliatory pat on the shoulder before moving off. He frowned after her, then turned his attention back to the damaged relay.

After a moment of thought, Caelian stood and handed his hyperspanner to L’Nel. “See if you can’t get the flow tightened down just a bit more, yeah? I’d like another kilojoule or three to structural integrity for safety. Thanks.”

He wove his way between the gathered bodies, careful not to disrupt the movement of the asteroid, and tapped a wall display. It flickered once but held long enough to accept his commands. Caelian queued up a schematic of the Arc Angel with an overlay of the damaged systems, paying special attention to the status of the navigational deflectors.

I’d better make sure we’re not going to have any other surprise visitors, he thought wryly.

Claude was impressed with the idea of the anti-grav sled. He had not known the transporters were down, so it was a sound suggestion. Seeing that the engineering team seemed to agree with the removal of the asteroid, he took command of the operation.

“This is a good idea Sharah. It shows initiative, and that is always a good thing. ” he added with a reassuring but genuine smile. “Can you ensure that the turbo lift is clear while we are moving this rock.?”

Handing out several of the individual tractor beams to his team, Claude gave out some orders. “Gallman, you’re in charge of the grav sled. We are going to use the tractor beams to raise the asteroid enough for you to get the sled under it. Once we have it secure, we’ll guide the sled to the turbolift and bring it up to Deck 13. “

“Everybody got that?…Any questions?” Seeing a room of nodding heads, the Science team proceeded to use their tractor beams to raise the asteroid. It took a bit to adjust the beams and to work together to raise it up. The weight was exceptional and required all four team members to raise it up. Gallman was quick and got the anti-grav sled ready. The team then slowly moved the asteroid down the corridor to the turbo lift.

With their guest rock finally secured the turbolift was their next stop, even with the larger then usual lifts on the Mythology class it was a tight fit though doable as the lift moved on to deck 13. Finally with a final ‘whoosh’ the lift doors opened and they were on deck 13 free to roam and go where they wanted.

OOC: I’ll make a new thread in a sec!
