Stardate: 60298.1619
Setting: USS ANUBIS, Bridge
The young woman stood at her station behind the CO's chair, overlooking all of the action taking or ready to take place in regards to the Romulan frigate, the 2 Tal Shiar agents in control of it… and the injured Marine that was in the same room as them.
From the corner of her eye the ExO could see on 1 of her monitors the assault team led by Lt. Seth standing by to storm the Romulan ship as soon as they received the final go ahead from the ILO. On another monitor next to the first, the redheaded woman could see the massive form of the CEO working beneath the captured vessel. Although she could not see what he had been doing, the young woman could image that it dealt with a great many things that she did not understand in the least… which had been why David had been there and not her.
Directly behind the ANUBIS' First officer the CSciO could be heard mumbling to herself as she prepared to get the coordinates for transport and relay them to the half Human, half Romulan woman sitting at the front of the bridge at the Ops station. Because of the temporal interference field that had been erected there had been no way for internal sensors to see inside of the ship allowing for the Lt. Pravat to be beamed out of harm's way… but that had all been about to change.
"Sensors inside Shuttle Bay 1 have picked up a sudden drop in power in the Romulan frigate." The young woman reported, knowing that this had been but the first step of a long chain of events that would follow one another faster than she or anyone else would be able to follow.
"Number 1... Open the outer doors of Shuttle Bay 1... and stand ready to disable to force field at the opening… just in case." James ordered, the sound of his voice hinting that he truly had not wanted to give that particular order. If for one reason or another the Frigate was to explode, the opening of the outer doors would allow some of the force of the explosion to escape thus reducing the possible damage the ANUBIS would suffer. The problem of course had been that if this came to happen, everyone currently in the shuttle bay would not get to see another day.
"Reading a cascading failure of the frigate's computer… every single system is going offline one after the other… primary power… communications… sensors… atmospheric controls… shields… and the interference field!" The Shillian CSciO offered, the sound of her fingers dancing on her console actually coming across louder than her soft spoken words that had been said with a hint of surprise and delight.
"Lt. Seth and the rest of the assault team are moving in… followed by Lt. Dawson." The ExO reported with a short sigh at the end, not entirely surprised by the reckless actions of the CEO. Sabrina could imagine that David had reasoned that since he had been there he might has well see if he could make himself useful in a more physical manner than he had up until now. The 1 true advantage of this had been that while Lt. Dawson was busy knocking the lights out of the Romulans, the rest of the ANUBIS and its bulkheads would be safe… at least from the CEO's lethal fists.
"Transport coordinates received… initialising transport… now!" The Ops officer offered as she plucked the Marine from the situation that he had inadvertently found himself in the middle of.
"Simmons to Seth… Pravat is out…" The CO offered to his Sec/Tac officer, updating the assault team leader of the situation.
=/\= Understood… engaging the enemy now. =/\= Rawyvin acknowledged, his words quickly followed by the sound of doors being forced open and the echoing of Starfleet and Marine phaser pulse riffles being fired.
"Sir… receiving preliminary report from Sickbay… Lt. Pravat is expected to pull through." The ExO reported almost immediately as the message appeared on her instruments. Of course the news was received with great relief by everyone on the bridge… but more so by the CSciO who actually allowed herself to let out a cheer of joy.
=/\= Seth to bridge… situation under control… all threats have been neutralized… and the area is secured. =/\= The Sec/Tac officer stated, his voice coming over the open comm channel as calm and collect as if he had just walked into a room filled with flowers and bunnies instead of 2 Romulan Tal Shiar agents bent on destroying their ship and the ANUBIS along with it.
"Well done… please make sure that there are no additional surprises waiting for us on that ship. Once you have done this, return to the bridge… we have another issue to tackle." The redheaded woman stated, knowing that what she had said would trigger an inquiry from her immediate superior.
"Another issue Number 1?" James queried, raising his right eyebrow in a manner that had usually been reserved from members of the Vulcan race.
"While I was in VIPER 1, we intercepted a distress signal… and although I have not had the time to run a complete analysis of the signal, I was able to confirm that it is of Federation origin and that it came from the nearby OTOL System." The young woman explained.
Nodding his understanding, the CO grinned and shifted his attention back to the front of the bridge when the FCO and Ops officers sat at their respective stations. "Cmdr. Rikar… Close the outer doors to Shuttle Bay 1 but keep the force field in that room in place for the time being. Helm… set course for the OTOL System at full impulse… increase to warp 5 as soon as we are out of this system."
