An Engineering Ensign opened her toolkit, and lifted it to a bench.

“Chief,” she called out to Dagen, blowing an errant curl out of her face, “someone’s been messing with my tools and the sonic driver and the ODN recoupler are missing. I’ve got an extra interphasic coil spanner in here though … I’ll just …”

Dagen was head and shoulders inside a panel/wall unit. The theory was that ‘someone’ had reported a vole amongst the cleaning staff that had disappeared around here and he was checking for anything being chewed along the ODN couplings network. NE Bailey was the ‘assist’ in case there was anything chewed up. Literally. “You’ll just what?” he asked, pulling himself out. It wasn’t like her to halt in the middle of a sentence ..

She gripped the extra interphasic coil spanner and immediately began to shake/vibrate and smoke came out of her ears.

Another NE saw her, and reached out to pull her off, and he too reacted in a similar way.

He was faced with two people locked in not a good thing. Was that smoke? His eyes went wide. What the ancestors had happened?!

A third NE ran over to their colleagues and was in the process of reaching out towards them, but hadn’t quite reached them, he seemed to be moving extra slowly, as though something was suggesting this may not have been the best idea.

“Don’t touch them Deeg!” he said by way of warning, who halted up quickly. “Call sickbay.” As he was saying that his mind raced, running to a cabinet. Seconds mattered but his head was running amok with what was going on?! Yanking the cabinet open he reached in and pulled out insulated gloves. They were monsters, and he always hated them, going up nearly to his elbows, but in this case it may be a good thing. He seemed to be in slow motion himself as he headed for the two.

=^= Deeg to sickbay. We have a .. two injuries. Shock. Potential electrocution. =^= He then changed his mind and closed that off, instead …

=^= Deeg to transporter room. Lock onto Ensign Bailey’s badge and transport all within three meters of the badge to sickbay immediately. =^=

Dagen spied the spanner locked in Bailey’s grip. Could he get it out without himself touching it? What would it even be doing with a charge? He started with trying to knock it from her grasp …

Dagen and Deeg

OOC: Think the old Looney Tunes shorts where similar things happen when someone touches/eats something hot if you want a visual.
OOC: Yikes!

The transporter beam formed around Bailey, the other NE, Dagen, his insulated gloves , the spanner, well everything within three meters of Bailey’s badge that wasn’t nailed/tied down to the ship in main engineering. Deeg though was just outside the three meters radius of the badge.

As the transporter beam took hold, Dagen was successful in knocking the spanner out of Bailey’s hands, though it too was captured by the transporter beam.

As the CE and the two Engineering NEs were whisked away, Deeg would be aware a subspace message was being received in main engineering. It was from a name that would have meant nothing to Deeg, but perhaps something to Dagen if he thought back long enough into the past and remember ‘fun with icecream’ … it was from a ‘Leon McKenzie.
