Magnus allowed the security team to take point although he itched to rush inside, he’d been command level for long enough to know that knocking down doors was no longer his job. When the first team was already in he made his way inside. After making sure the rest of the assault team was in place he took a knee and opened the suit comms for the team “Alright, McGregor set your rearguard here, this is our primary exfil and rally point if things go haywire but I want to secure transporter capabilities as well as shuttle landing points, if you find opportunities to take over any central locations you have permission to do so at your discretion.” he tapped the command interface on his suit to prepare for using the suit indoors

“Aye aye,” Thomas said, nodding to the security officers he’d picked for that job. Two would stay outside guarding from any potential external threats, two would remain inside, pointing at the door the rest of them were about to enter.

“I want to try to go weapons silent for as long as possible but if or when we go loud we go loud and fast, when the first shot is fired its weapons free.” He spoke more like a soldier now than normally, with none of his usual swagger in his tone, a side of him the crew was not used to “Commander, keep the suits on or take them off here before proceeding?” He asked the security chief, he had his thoughts on the matter but he wanted opinions before giving his orders.

“We’re dealing with at least one man who’s already demonstrated his lack of regard for others’ lives,” Thomas said. “I think it would be more prudent to keep the suits on, make it harder for him to deal with us than just open this place to vacuum.”

Once in the airlock in preparations to cycle it, Tom put the mylar against the internal mechanism and attempted to find a way to cycle the airlock without setting off any alerts.

As the men took up their positions, the sound of talking could be heard down the corridor and heading towards them. There were klaxons or agitation in the voices. To the away team, it would seem just like two or three crew talking about random topics as they walked the corridors of the Genesis. The team had about ten seconds to decide to head the other way down the hall and not be discovered or take on the people approaching them.

Thomas quickly consulted the sensor display in his suit to see just how many targets were approaching, and what if anything could be determined about them.

COS

Tom was there as an Internal Security infiltration specialist. So far it was not looking like he was going to be infiltrating a party. So he stood quiet and to the side and watch the rest of the infiltration team to see what they would do. He would take his lead from them. Meanwhile he listened closely to see if he could determine the number of people walking down the hallway based on the sound of their footsteps. As he listened he slowly and quietly reached to his belt and pulled out his compact dart pistol that looked like a small LED flashlight. It was currently loaded with broad species tranquilizer rounds but he always carried a more lethal option on him just in case.

• Tom, IntSec

Whilst the two officers were focusing on numbers Magnus focused on time and by the sound of those conversationalists there wasn’t time, he raised a hand and gave the hand signal for them to move on “Hop to” He said through the suit coms in a half whisper, there wasn’t really a need to whisper but he always found it to be a good operating procedure “Down hall, prep ambush” He ordered and moved first, they might not need to take them out but he wanted a look at their opposition.

The approaching people turned out to be three science-type individuals.   They were physically not impressive and more the average height and weight for two humans and a Betaziod.  The conversation was lackadaisical until they rounded the corner staring at Magnus and his away team.   “Um Scott,” one of the trio stated to his friend, “I told you it was a bad idea coming here.”  Not knowing what to do, the three individuals froze in place as if each of them was trying to think of a plan.  

GM

Tom had been in similar situations before and knew that this could go one of two ways. In that moment, before the thought had even finished, Tom’s arm snapped up. The “flashlight” gave a quiet phut sound as it used compressed gas to fire a tiny gell dart, full of a fast acting broad species tranquilizer, into the neck of the Betazoid. He didn’t envey them the headache they’d have if/when they woke up in several hours.

In the moment Tom’s arm was already traversing towards a second target.

-Tom, IntSec

Thomas leapt into action as well, tackling the man on the other end of the group and slapping his hand over his mouth to prevent him crying out. It was all well and good to knock all of them out, but it was even better to have someone awake and able to answer questions.

COS

Magnus immediately joined McGregor and Tom in the attack going for the middle, he spun his rifle around and used the butt to strike the last one in the diaphragm, a measured strike enough to expel air but not enough to break the man. He followed with a knee into the man’s knee pit to take him down to his knees.

XO

“Oh my god what’s wrong with you,” the only man left standing from the attack stated holding up his hands already trying to surrender. “Who are you?” It was obvious they were not part of the security force of the station. The man needed to bluff long enough for the security feeds to pick them up and send reinforcements.
