[D] @Lieutenant Louisa Maria Lucero The first team beamed in here there were one or two surprised mercenaries' walking in the hallway when they transported in.

Not much of a surprise that as the team was ready for combat, they quickly opened fire on the two mercenaries that were there. With a relatively hushed voice and some hand signals, she motioned for the troops to spread out and find covered positions. "Move carefully, we don't want to alert them if possible."

[D] @Lieutenant Ughaz’udan The second team beamed in here as well. His team looked ready to support the first team.

The first team had taken out the mercenaries in the halllway with ease.

So far it seemed like the mercenaries hadn't been alerted. Her troops were all in positions with cover waiting for her orders to push forward.

Ughaz'udan raised his phaser rifle with eyes narrowd at the corridor. "Remember, victory is life." He growled to his team. "We shall succeed with this rescue mission or die trying. That we owe to the prisoners. Is that understood."

"Sir yes, sir." The Tactical officers said in response to Ughaz'udan. As the also took up defense positions and aimed at the door.

"Advance slowly, we'll clear this deck then move to the next one." Louisa stated, motioning to move through the hallway to discover what else there might be on this deck, hopefully it would be quick, in and out to not have to deal with any losses. "On me. Ughaz, bring up the rear."

"Pleased." He grunted.

The security officers advanced slowly; they placed a charge on the first door. The Tactical Officers placed one on the second door and both teams waited for Lieutenant Lucero's command. (edited)

Ensuring that nobody would be in the way of the blast, and that there were people covering the doors, Louisa gave the signal to blow them open.

"Ready." He aimed his phaser at the door. "Breach at my order." He said to his team.

There was no one in the hallway. It was quiet, there weren’t any alarms sound. Then a few noises from one of the rooms like the a tool dropping to the floor. Then some yelling, and the usual load sounds of repairs being made could be heard as the team approached.

Louisa guided the men under her command towards the door. "Move into defensive positions along the hallway and be prepared to open fire as soon as possible once we've breached." She herself took a defensive position behind one of the supports, watching the door while giving the signal to breach the door.

Her officers did as she requested she had 20 officers total in her sizable platoon. Two squads took positions at either side of the door. The rest took defensive positions around the hallway that provide some cover while still being about to fire inside. The two front officers the side of the door carefully placed the explosive charge on the door. Set it the charge on on Lieutenant Louisa’s signal they blew the charge. The mercenaries inside were very surprised at the door to the weapons room being breached. Most took cover behind what ever they could which included photon torpedoes which hadn’t been launched yet and other’s some of the various consoles. Louisa’s men opened fire like they had been ordered as soon as the door had been breached they were only able to take out a few there was a lot of things inside the room to obstruct their few and many things they knew they needed to avoid hitting unless they wanted to detonate the entire ship.

After the phaser fire had settled along with the dust surrounding the door, Louisa approached the door with some of her officers to take positions within the weapons control room so that they were covered and in part of the room, it would be important not to shoot any of the consoles if possible. Louisa figured there was a good chance that this would devolve into a close-combat situation, and made the appropriate hand-communication signals to ensure that her officers were alert for such a situation.

One of the officers right behind her got hit in the chest by a disruptor blast they fell backwards luckily only one other officer was hit as she moved her several of her officers into the weapons control room. The other officer was hit in the arm and then again in the head as they fell towards the ground. The enemy was being careful to not hit the explosives. All of her officers got ready to engage the enemy in hand to hand combat on her signal. As soon as the officers were in range the mercenaries attempted to engage the officers in hand to hand combat. One came after Louisa swinging their blaster at her like a bludgeoning weapon.
