As the NEs got to work they would recall one of the CO’s medical record notes that due to an early childhood exspure to some radiation and a chemical spill it had the effect of thinning her bloods ability to coagulate when injured to slow bleeding she would need an iso-protein injection ASAP to slow her bleeding to more normal levels. As it was already the blood in her mouth was filling her air ways and throat. They would need to act quickly to remove said materials to prevent her from choking to death or drowning from her own blood.

NE Charles by the back of the bridge spoke, “..Transporters are online yes, but with our shields up as they are site to site transport within the ship is impossible right now..” he said

“Transporters are out.” Said Sifeda to the IDMT, “I hope you have an alternative solution. We cannot drop those shields, we are too vulnerable at the moment. We must protect the ship.”

Mar stood up and moved to the XO. “Please, Ma’am. Let Medical do what they need.” She reached for the XO to help her away. It was a two fold reason, she did it. One was to be sure the XO would back away. The other was to be sure the Second in Command was all right. Her own right cheek was blossoming into a bruise where she had fallen and landed on her upraised hand. It was starting to look like a large Orion had clocked her upside the head. She felt the headache coming but fought through it. Now wasn’t the time for petty aches and pains. “Ma’am, we need to see to the rest of the ship.”

“Yes of course,” Sifeda said and moved so the medical staff could render aid to the Commodore. “Report to me when she is stable,” she told Strickland. She looked at Marlaa saw her bruise, “You were injured too, Counselor. It looks pretty bad. Perhaps you should let them check you out too. I don’t want you passing out.”

Glancing up at Kyle, she nodded. “Let the Volograd and Forseth know we need to back off. We have to recover or there will be two ships stranded in here.” Grateful for those already heading to fight the fire, she knew Security would be on it by now. She took a moment to look over the XO to be sure she was all right.

Sifeda assured Marlaa she was fine then she said, “I need updates! Where are our shields at? Engineering, how are repairs to the EPS coming along? Have we been able to contain the plasma fires? Medical, I need a casualty report as well…” her voice trailed off as she momentarily rested her forehead in her hand. Then she said, “Let me know when you get an acknowledgement from the Volograd and Forseth ship.”

Buchanan then responded to the XO =/\=We are not able to repair the EPS unit until the fire is taken care of. I am attempting to divert additional power from secondary systems for shield power. I am going to see if I can get an update from the engineers I sent to the plasma fire to see the status and if there is any sort of timeframe and I will get back with you on it=/\=. Kaden was worried the fire was going to cause a decent amount of damage before it can be controlled. He then tapped his communicator =/\=Ensign Buchanan to Ensign Lis, what is the status of the fire on Deck 12? I am not getting very good readings with the EPS unit being down and the computer not being able to see much. =/\=. He then thought for just one second, ‘I wonder if we could vent the section and deprive the fire from gasses to continue burning. He then said to the computer ‘Computer, is there a way we could put force fields around the fire and route force fields to allow the air to be pulled out of the area without injuring folks? ’ He wanted for a response from the computer.

Ensign Buchanan Engineering Officer

=^=Acknowledged Ensign Buchanan. Get us any power you can muster up for shields. We must keep shields operational until we are away from the alien as we surely cannot take another hit especially without them. And since repairs to the EPS is not possible, do whatever you need to extinguish those fires, else every soul aboard this ship will perish along with it. I am sure whatever we try can’t put us in a worse situation than we are already in.=^=

Mar frowned hearing the reply. “There should be emergency fire team on site.” Tapping the console, she tried to bite back the growl rising in her throat as she forced herself to remain professional. Sometimes her Romulan side reared its ugly head. =^=Bridge to Fire Team… what’s the status on that plasma fire. We need to get that under control.=^= The fact she hadn’t heard from the team since its arrival started to register on her mind and trouble her more than the lack of information did. Why weren’t they reporting?

Mar CNS

Johnathan hit his combadge =^= Bridge be advised all casualties need to be routed to Deck 39 sickbay, there they will be triaged. The Port cargo bay on deck 45 will be utilized as a routine and minor injury station, the Starboard cargo bay on deck 45 will be a recovery unit for the seriously injured. Please advise all decks of this, and to be aware that the hallway outside Deck 39 sickbay will be used as a triage site. Ensign Baptiste out. =^=

-Ensign Johnathan Baptiste, Medical

“I’m on it lass!” Kyle called out. Typing with all the speed he could muster, the CoS sent a message to both the Volograd and the ship representing the Forseth explaining the damage the ArkAngel had taken, suggesting as best he could that the ships try not to adjust course in any way, as that could make the situation a lot worse for all three ships, “Signal’s away!”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

She nodded at Anders, signal was sent, the Volograd and Forseth ship were on their own now until they could remedy their own situation.

As Kyle finished his report, Marlaa’s comm chirped in response to her previous question. =/\=”Ensign Lis here,” Demil said. “We’ve reached worst case scenario. We’re evacuating sections 19 through 33 on decks 11 to 13, then we have to vent all of the air in order to contain the fire.”=/\= A moment later, there was a crash, and the comm line cut.

Ensign Lis, Science/Fire Team

=^=Proceed with evacuations, be sure everyone gets to safety, including yourselves. Report back status and give update on damage after affected decks have been vacuumed.=^=

Itri, XO

OOC: Reply coming sorry for the delay!
