MacGuffin made a little noise of affirmation as he tapped away at the controls, starting the diagnosis. After a moment it came back and he looked over to Huzzen, “Lieutenant, this is odd. According this diagnosis the nacelles are receiving the power sent to them by the warp core, but then it is reflecting back up the power conduits causing the pressure loads. Like a rolling backwards wave.”

=/\=Huzzen to Bridge. Captain we seem to have a feedback…=/\=

But then something happened… something real. There was a shudder and a lurch before a large groaning, grating sound, could be heard throughout the ship. “Hull breach on Deck 7 Aft! Deck 8 Aft! Deck 8 Aft!” Something was actually causing damage to the ship, that wasn’t related to the power system. That was still showing the anomaly wave though the readings of the waves were getting jumbled up with the shorts and faults from the new hull breach.

“GALEN engage emergency bulkheads on decks 7, 8, and 9 aft. Use forcefields around anywhere those are damaged.”

Navale hit the ship wide comms, =/\=Emergency response teams to Decks 7, 8, 9 aft. Hull Breach.=/\=

=/\=Engineering to Bridge and Winters. We have multiple hull breaches showing on the aft hull.=/\=

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

=/\=GALEN, are emergency forcefields in place?=/\= Myqian said, her voice carrying over the comm.

Captain Myqian, CO

=/\=Yes, Captain. Forcefields are in place.=/\=

~Mischief Maker

The emergency forcefields materialized, stabilizing the rip in the side of the Ogawa. System reports showed that pressures were returning to normal, but power readings were all over the place causing intermittent outages in various systems and subsystems throughout the ship. The whole thing would likely need to be shut off and brought back on line again, in the standard order.

GM Wombat

Navale hadn’t heard a reply from Maria, but it couldn’t wait. =/\=Emergency Engineering teams to Decks 7, 8, 9 aft.=/\= She walked over to the main engineering control table. “MacGuffin, help me get the power rerouted from the damaged areas.” Her fingers flew across the controls, watching for damaged secondary systems and sending the power flows through tertiary routes if necessary.

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

~Mischief Maker

MacGuffin nodded again and moved to Navale’s side and started helping his superior officer “Re routing power along secondary power flows from deck 7. Opening port side vents to release the excess plasma… Pressures normalizing in this circuit.” He looks up and smiles, weakly, before returning to to the task at hand in their attempt to make things a little safer.

GM Wombat.

“Rerouting power on deck 8,” Navale commented as she worked. “No, it’s not holding. The secondary relays are over loaded. We’ll have to shut down non-essential systems until we can get the relays replaced.”

=/\=Bridge this is engineering. We have to shut down all non-essential systems on decks 7, 8, and 9 to avoid a power overload to the secondary systems.=/\= Then she began to do just that. “We’re going to have to shut down and restart all the systems anyway,” she mumbled to herself as she worked.

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

=/\=Understood, Engineering. GALEN, inform those three decks accordingly,=/\= the captain said overtop the chatter from incoming reports.

Captain Myqian, CO

MacGuffin swallowed hard then squinted. He ran a hand over his face and then looked at the screen again and then shook his head before looking over to Huzzen, “Ma’am. We got a problem in a world of problems…” He traced his finger over the screen, “Look at this, am I looking at this right? It looks like we are losing coolant… If we don’t do something we could lose impulse drive.”

GM Wombat

Navale looked over the display. “Shut down the impulse drive.” She’d take blame for it. She moved to the otherside of the main control table and engaged the emergency locks to the coolant system. =/\=Huzzen to emergency repair team Epsilon. We have a leak in the impulse drive coolant lines. Go check it out.=/\=

=/\=Aye, Lt. In our way.=/\=

=/\=Engineering to bridge. We have a coolant leak in the impulse drive. I’ve had to shut it down before we loose the impulse drive completely. Repair teams are in route.=/\=

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

=/\= Understood, Lieutenant. Updates every twenty minutes, work permitting. =/\=

Sinclair, XO

The ship came to a stop moments later.

Captain Myqian, CO

=/\=Aye Sir=/\=

Emergency repair teams Alpha and Epsilon arrived at the nacelles and impulse engines respectively to inspect the problems with their propulsion systems. And maybe find out what happened to Lt Maria.

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

=/\=Bridge to Engineering. In order to do repairs we need to make it the rest of the way through the system to Gamma Tiltium. Op 42 has said they can get clearance for us to land on the planet. We’ll need impulse power and extra power for the shields and inertial dampeners.=/\= She knew it was a lot to ask, but she’d rather be in a safer place rather than just sitting in the middle of the Gamma Tiltium system in the path of a very busy station.

Captain Myqian, CO

OOC: I’m guessing on my times, please adjust as needed.

IC: Navale closed her eyes and took a breath. She was NOT the chief engineer, she was not the chief engineer, she was NOT the chief engineer. Where was Maria anyway? =/\=It will be at least three hours captain before we have impulse back. Until we plug that leak and reinitialize the system we have no impulse drive. Inertial dampeners shouldn’t be a problem if we close off the areas of the breach, but shields will be an issue. We have a gaping hole in the hull and it will take hours,” she emphasized the plural, “to get something rigged to compensate enough to make landing even possible much less comfortable.=/\=

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

=/\=Understood, Engineering. We’ll stay put and notify the Outpost. I’m on my way down there.=/\=

Captain Myqian, CO

=/\=Aye Ma’am. Engineering out.=/\= Navale looked around at the teams swarming all over the place and then went back to the main control panel to check and ensure the reroutes they had put in place were going to hold.

In the meantime Emergency Team Epsilon had arrived at the main access point to the impulse drive and they swarmed over the area trying to find the location and cause of the coolant leak.

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

A couple minutes later, Dira strode in with an intense focus. “Report,” she said calmly. “Where are we at?” she said as she approached Huzzen.

Captain Myqian, CO

Navale looked up from the main table, “Captain,” Huzzen pointed out different displays as she spoke. “The warp drive has some kind of power feedback loop happening, the impulse drive is leaking coolant, we have power overloads all over decks 7, 8, and 9. We’ve shutdown nonessential systems and rerouted what we can. Our priority is keeping the forcefields intact and life support. I am waiting on updates from the emergency repair teams.”

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

=/\=Epsilon Team to Huzzen=/\= an already tired sounding voice came over the comms, =/\=I think we have stopped the coolant leak. We have probably about 25% left in the tanks, and another little bit in the system, so you know, we have that going for us.=/\=

=/\=Is there any damage to the system from the loss of coolant? We don’t want to restart the impulse and blow up because we overheat.=/\=

“MacGuffin, how much coolant do we have in storage?” Navale asked the other engineer helping her.

A few moments later, the NE for Alpha team added in, =/\=So’Tar here. Well.... If you don’t mind flying with one nacelle we would be ok going to warp.=/\= An anxious chuckle followed by, =/\=Also, has anyone seen power conduits… sparkle? Like glitter got in the plasma flow.=/\=

GM Wombat

=/\=We don’t want to be flying in circl…wait? Did you say glitter? Connect me to a visual feed of what you are looking at.=/\=
