The XO entered Transporter Room 1 wearing her EVA suit, carrying the helmet under her arm. She had a trocorder and phaser attached to her belt. Nodding to the transporter chief, Shedda slipped the helmet on and clicked it into place. She waited for the rest of the away team to arrive.

Mal’athar, XO

Kaia rushed into the Transporter room soon after Shedda, still carrying a few parts of her EVA suit in their carrying case under one arm, and the helmet under the other. “If someone could help me out with attaching these components, I’d appreciate it,” she lifted the case, which contained the tail portion of her suit as well as the part of it that connected to her Prosthetic arm. Those portions were particularly finicky, especially the tail part, and she struggled to attach them without assistance. “I didn’t catch whether we’re dealing with vacuum, toxic atmo, or a different environmental hazard, that changes how I deal with the right arm.” In simple vacuum, Kaia had an attachment that would create a vacuum-sealed connection with her prosthetic just above the wrist, allowing normal operation of the prosthetic without a suit in the way. It made life easier on space walks, maintaining her dexterity when interacting with tools. If they were going into a corrosive or biohazardous environment, it was safer to contain the arm in a full sleeve.

“That is because we don’t know, Ensign. The ship we are going over to has taken damage, is powered down, and at the ambient temperature of space. We know nothing else. Better to be extra cautious,” the XO replied. “Here, I will help you.” Following Kaia’s instructions they were soon done.

Mal’athar, XO

Sovrk entered a bit later after. He had along with his scientific tricoder, he also seem to be equiped with a medical one as well as the requested forensics kit. His blue EVA suit fit him like any other standard issue suit. “I know… it may seem odd… but I have my reasons.” He said as he stepped up on to the transporter pad.
Lt. (J.G.) Sovrk, CSO

With the XO’s help attaching the tail protection and arm parts to her suit, Kaia put on the extra layer (safety first after all), then picked up her EVA engineering tools from a cubby near the Pad. “Okay, ready to go.”

Kaia, Engineer

“Security will take point until we know the ship is clear. Then we’ll work on restoring power and life support. Every inch of the ship should be checked, even something that seems unimportant. Cpt Cochrane said this sounds like a smugglers ship. So leave nothing to assumption.” Mal’athar set her phaser to stun and took a place on the pad letting security take their positions around the rest.

Mal’athar, XO

“Good thing I’m familiar with smuggler’s ships.” Eilah said casually as he headed in. “Ensign Kindle! We’re heading in first. Get your EVA suit ready.”

~ Fayth, COS

Smuggler’s ships. Yeap those are fun to investigate. Some had nasty surprises for the uninvited. She figured between them the security team would keep it simple and everyone should be back on the ship without too much trouble. She finished getting her suit sealed up and followed Eilah and she gave Kaia a thumps up seeing her as she followed to the transporter pad.

Kindle, SO

Kaia gave her new friend a Thumbs-up in return and wrapped her tail around her leg so no one would accidentally step on it. She readied herself for the transporter, a slight chill running through her fur. Kaia wasn’t superstitious, but going through Transporters always made her just a little nervous.

Shedda nodded as Fayth and his team got into position. “Alright everyone. Captain wants open comms and linked video feed. Go ahead and turn them on.”

When she got the nod from everyone that they were ready, she looked at the transporter Chief. “Energize chief.”

Mal’athar, XO

Bump for the board

bump for the GM?
OOC: OH hey, that’s me ..

The team transported into darkness. According to the beam in they were in the central portion of the Dwarf where there was a branching corridor. Two curved off left and right toward aft. One was straight toward the fore bridge. The design of the corridor was not smooth but sectional with utilitarian floor plates, a single lighting strip following the central peak of the rounded corridor that itself was bordered with thick cabling. The corridor sections were each rounded making it feel as though the away team was moving about through the insides of a gigantic caterpillar.

From downloaded schematics the away team could see that they were close to the lounge and quarters if they followed the corridor left or right and beyond that were engineering and the storage bays.

All this would be seen through the lighting of the EVA suits and lamps. Dust motes floated about in the air along with stray, small items .. a napkin, a fork, a data chip, along with general debris. It was not ‘thick’ but present.

The comms came to life and the Captain’s voice came through. =/\= Manhattan to Away Team. =/\= Cochrane said. =/\= First up, grab that data chip. Next, secure the Bridge and Engineering. Security, do a full sweep of all spaces. Science and Engineering, see what you can do about getting power on to any systems you can. Be careful. Go slow. =/\=

Cochrane, CO

Shedda’s hand appeared in the feed as she grabbed the data chip out of the air. She flipped her tricorder open, taking scans of the area as the passed. Looking for damage, secret holds, dangerous materials, life… most likely deceased life. =/\=Aye, Cpt.=/\= She wondered how much Cochrane wished he was over here.

“Cmdr Fayth, start your sweep towards engineering, then move on from there.”

Mal’athar, XO

Once in hand the data chip was more of an old style library tape used a century earlier, this one with a glazed surface but still of that old type which was a precursor to the isolinear chip. Within this portion of the ship there was no overt damage seen, though in one place opposite two living quarters, on the right side, was looked to be a blown out power relay that left a blackened stain along the bulkhead wall. On the left side of the corridor were the two doors. One was open - the second one.

It was quickly evident that there was no ‘science’ area. Scans indicated engineering corridor was accessible by a small side corridor that ended in a jeffries tube. Ladders went up and down. Beyond on the main corridor it led to storage bays. No life readings were found. Yet.

Sovrk kepted close to the others. He had his own tricoder out and was taking in similar scans as the XO. He looked and his frown deepend as he stuck with Cmdr Faith. “I will help with securing and possibly restoring Engineering if you don’t mind Commander. Then we may be able to pull something from the ships computer.”
Lt. (J.G.) Sovrk, CSO

The Jeffries Tube heading up went to a chamber controlling the warp drive.

The Jeffries Tube heading down went to a somewhat more cramped chamber controlling the impulse engines, life support, inertial dampers and the like.

Both were a shambles. Burnt out consoles and control boards were flame swept and blackened from blowing out from the insides through an overload. The Impulse Drives were a molten ruin, the deuterium fuel long having leaked out of a rupture in its tank. Life support and inertial dampers too were damaged beyond repair. The warp drive portion of engineering was in no better shape. The small matter-antimatter chamber had apparently auto ejected and was missing entirely. One side of the chamber had experienced a burst plasma conduit that sprayed, splattered and in part melted consoles and bulkhead portions where it had touched it.

The one small hope lay in that the engineer would find that with a critical hit that damaged engineering the power couplings to the battery backup had been severed and, on first glance looked intact. How good they might be if at all after all this time was uncertain.

All this checking done in the dark and by torches made the scene eerie and ghostlike and quiet, and each space where flames, plasma or explosion touched was like looking at old images of the Titanic far underwater.

Shedda looked around. She kind of loved it. Reminded her of digs in caves and caverns. “Lt Kaia, Lt. Sovrk and I will help you down here. We don’t need warp or impulse. Just life support and get the computer running. Cmdr Fayth, take your team and check the rest of the ship, then report back.”

Mal’athar, XO

“We’ll get to it,” Kaia said with a determined expression on her face, examining everything with an overview.

Sovrk looked around himself as they entered the room. His face as unreadable as ever. “At first glance.... lots of this looks melted, it will be a long shot in the dark.” He said as he moved over to one of the largest consoles with the least amount of damage and tried to look for any salvagable parts or pecies.
Lt. J.G. Sovrk, CSO

Eilah nodded to Shedda and exited the room to check the ship with a team, heading towards the bridge.

~ Fayth, COS

“I’ll start on the batteries, they look like they might be… salvageable.” Kaia shuddered slightly, then started to go through the various parts and pieces around the backups. “Maybe there’s even power in there.”
