Tia took a deep breath as she realized the moment’s crisis was over. As Jasper walked in, she smiled. Seeing others go about their business reminded her there were things she could be doing as well. “Hey,” she smiled and nodded. “I’m Tiastri, if you need a hand, lemme know.” She figured he was capable, or at least hoped he was. You didn’t let ‘dummies’ work on environmental containment fields. Catastrophic things happened when you did.

Moving to the console against the wall, she did a quick inventory of the available shuttles on the ship. Perhaps she could set some groundings for the ‘bombs’ in case the XO decided the shuttle was the delivery system she wanted. If there was a shuttle that wasn’t in particularly good shape, perhaps that would be the one to start with. And with any luck, it would be in this bay so she wouldn’t have to take her eyes off the pieces they just built. While she hadn’t been specifically asked, she had no intention of letting these babies out of her sight if she had the option.

Two shuttles were on hand currently, though one had been stripped for parts for Kord’s bombs with other supplies coming from their spare parts in storage. Both though were for impulse maneuvering good for service.

As this went on the ship shuddered and red alert klaxon’s sounded around the ship, and an alert came down from said XO to prepare to launch the first of the two bombs, NE Hasty commed back up that it would be ready in 2 minutes.
