Star Trek: Starbase 777

This corridor was also long with two guards stationed around the corner if one was to use a scanner to scan the area. There was also a hatch for #hai-phong-tubes if one was looking for a more stealthy way to get around and possibly avoid combat.

“Eyes up everyone. The engineering team has their job, we have ours.” She said, holding her phaser slowly leading the pack down. “Watch each others backs, no ones a hero today, copy?”

"Correction, commander," Mira said. "If we all watch each other's backs and this mission is a success, we are all heroes in our own right. Regardless, the sentiment of not doing anything relentlessly is echoed."

"Copy." Ato replied from the back of the pack. He was tall, so he could see everything over everyone's head, usually. "And, if you need a medic, myself and Lieutenant..." He looked at T'She, whose name he did not know yet. "I'm sorry I don't know your name. Well, we're here."

"Perhaps we should scan this area so we can avoid any enemies. No sense fighting when we don't need to," Suss suggested.

“No one be a hero till after the mission.” She looked to Ato. “Thank you Ato, you and T’She stay in the back line.” She said, having quickly skimed the file of everyone who got on the Eventide and thus tried to use their first names to reassure them.

Saith remained silent, prioritizing stealth at the moment. They'd have a better shot if no one could hear them coming.

"I am T'She, it is a pleasure to meet you," They spoke when Ato asked their name. "Shall I scan the area?" Their voice was little more than a whisper by this point.

Ato, taking a hint from the whispering medic next to them, quieted his voice consciously. “Pleasure to meet you too, T’She.” And he nodded, since no one else seemed to be scanning.

There was chattering around the corner, if they were taking the tubes, it'd have to be now....

Essen was also silent. She stepped on the very tips of her toes. Essen motioned towards the #hai-phong-tubes, as if to ask if they were to take them.

She, having pretty good hearing, heard the chattering around the corner, holding up a hand in a suggestion (she couldn’t do anything but suggest, considering she wasn’t the senior officer here) for everyone to quiet down to avoid drawing attention. For a 6’6 Romulan, she moved damn near silently. She wasn’t about the tube life, but if it was best for everyone.. “Shall we take the tubes?” She whispered.

Mira looked to Kya and Jena, before she looked back to Seiyya and nodded.

T'She could hear someone coming as well, and decided that the tubes would probably be the best option for stealth, since they didn't want anyone learning of their appearance before they wanted them to.

Into the tube, then!

Without so much as a scuff of her shoe on the ground, Essen hopped into the #hai-phong-tubes!

Mira followed behind Essen, not quite as silently, but still quietly into the #hai-phong-tubes.

She moved into the tube with the rest of the team.

The gangly but lithe Andorian-Romulan also climbed into the tubes. He was a bit tall for this but he would make do.

By choosing the tubes the team narrowly avoided a combat situation!

He went backward and left the tubes just so he could fight those guys. It was like in a video game when you realise you accidentally went through a shortcut, but you go back and take the long way because you don't want to miss extra content and potential loot! ...Kidding. He didn't do that. Can you imagine?

Corridor 3 was empty........ or so it seemed..

1

“Eyes up people.” She said, holding her phaser up.

"Aye sir," Essen replied softly, staying close with Vara'l.

T'She readied their own phaser, hoping that they wouldn't need to use it.

Saith did not say anything,because stealth was important, but had his phaser at the ready.

Mira kept her eyes behind the whole crew, looking out from the back, to ensure no one would ambush them from behind.

Vara'l moved in as he supported Essen. "Someone scan ahead with a tricorder, keep to the corridor edges and watch for movement." The Romulan instructed as he moved along with them, supported Essen. "We could be walking into a ambush." He added, his voice kept quiet as he uttered those words. Stealth happened to be important but also well. They'd likely already been detected by the guards, after all.

scannign would be a good idea...

Scanning seemed to be the T'She job today, so they pulled out a scanner in order to scan!!

2

He pulled out his tricorder, but he was too slow on the draw, so he just let T'She start scannign. (edited)

There was one guard around the corner, a GORN of all species. Armed with a Klingon disruptor. Very strong, would require 3 hits of 6 or higher on a d10 to fall!

2

T'She relayed the information, though they did not know much about tactics. They just knew medicine.

Since it was already in his hand, he threw the tricorder at the gorn. 🎲4

Sadly, Eshen missed! The opening shot was a failure and the gorn had enough time to press the panic button on his belt causing sirens to start blaring in the corridor!

A cocked eyebrow at Eshen's method of choice. Well. That worked rather interestingly to say the least. She went in for a shot! 🎲10

"Dammit!" Essen said. "We're gonna have company, and a lot of it!"

Saith went for his phaser, shooting as well! "Someone see if they can get those alarms disabled somehow!" 🎲3

The Gorn was hit by Mira! And there were sounds of footsteps coming from down the corridor... reinforcements.

Seiyya shot from around the corner. 🎲5

Hey, it was already in his hand! Would have been a super quick reaction if he hadn't missed. It also freed up his dominant hand to get out his actual phaser and shoot. 🎲3

Essen heard the pitter pattering approaching, although she didn't know where. "Incoming!" Essen said. "They could be coming from all sides!" She figured this was all she could do, to warn the team.

Too bad for the away team, a SECOND guard had come to join the party, a Klingon guard this time oh no.. Also needed 3 shots to fall, 6 or higher on a d10.

She followed up the tricorder throw with a shot towards the hands, trying to get them to drop the rifle. 🎲4

Rolled: 1d10

Essen noticed the Klingon guard approaching! "Guard!" Essen called out. "Guard at 10 o' clock!!"

Seiyya shot at the Klingon. 🎲4.

MIra stayed focused on the Gorn for now, while keeping the Klingon guard in her periphery. 🎲6

He gave it another shot. Literally. By Kahless, he was gonna zap this Gorn. 🎲3

Rolled: 1d10

T'She decided to put their tricorder away, and pulled up their phaser, planning on doing some shooting, hoping that their aiming on the gorn would go through. 🎲10

The Gorn was down but the Klingon was still up and firing -- at T'She 🎲5.

"Nice shot, lieutenant!" Mira said. "Look out---behind you!"

Seeing the Klingon was still firing, she shot at them again. 🎲8

Saith swiveled to focus on the Klingon officer, firing on them as well! What was his aim ON today!? 🎲6

"Great shot, cadet!" Mira congratulated Saith! "Keep it up!"

T'She narrowly avoided getting hit with a blast, taking a deep breath to try and recenter themself before they took a better position.

“Yes, excellent shot!” She said, having narrowly avoided getting hit with anything herself.

"Well," Essen said, half to Vara'l, half to herself. "That worked out nicely."

"Can we get those alarms disabled- somehow!?" Saith crouched down in front of the Gorn, seeing if he could grab the panic button and shut it down. "Somebody cover me!"

The Klingon was down! All enemies down but the alarms still going off...

Mira raced over to cover Saith. "Go ahead, cadet, I'll cover you."

Seiyya scanned the area with her tricorder, seeing if there was any shutoff switch.

No shut off switch but there WAS a power breaker down the corridor, it did control the power for the entire wing though...

3

“Alright! We’ve got a power breaker down the corridor, it should shut off the alarm.. along with all the power for this wing.” She said, looking at the scan.

"Bingo," Essen replied to Seiyya. "If we disable that, then... guards could be making their ways out of who knows where."

“Alternately, shutting off power could limit the ways guards could arrive. It could also limit our methods of escape.” She said, before gritting her teeth at the nonstop blaring alarm noises.

All the while the sirens were still blaring VERY loudly, poor Vulcanoids. (edited)

T'She was about ready to cover their ears from all this noise. "Can someone please turn off the power to this alarm?" They asked, raising their voice so they could be heard.

The blaring alarm was extremely painful with Essen already having been concussed, her head pain only worsened. "AaaaAAAAGH!" She wailed. She had to power through, however. It was only a matter of time before this was over. She could only hold one ear given Vara'l was supporting her. "Gagh... ffffuck... please... make it stop... make it STOPPPP!!!!"

He picked up his tricorder, wincing at the noise. "We can turn it off and on again." What was this, tech support?

4

“Gah! I’m turning this off, we deal with any consequences later!” She ran to the power breaker, yanking the box open and shutting off the power, way too overstimulated to be thinking very rationally.

1

there were 3 large switches,

Unmarked...

“Why are there puzzles on a breaker! Someone who didn’t almost fail the Academy and isn’t losing it right now, please come look at this!” She begged, not in the state for puzzles.

"What?!" Essen snarled. "What do these mean?! WHAT DO THEY MEAN?!?!" Essen looked at those switches. To her head which was undergoing extreme pain, they were mere blurs of color. Blurs of color didn't mean the pain would stop. Her eyes clenched shut, as her breath became shaky.

Thankfully Mira could cover her ears, but not well enough to drown out the piercing noise. "They may have to be activated in a particular order." Mira suggested, loud enough for those around her to hear.

Eshen's suggestion of turning on and off could be the choice...

1

“Well let’s see here. Red is normally a bad colour when it comes to these.” She mumbled. “I don’t know if this is going to come down to colour theory though.”

“What order do we push them in!?” She shouted back in order to be heard over the blaring alarms.

Kya sighed. “Well, there’s no marks so…” She pressed flipped the red switch off and then on.

The red switch turned off the alarm.... and the lights.

"Now that I think of it, if the prison cells are locked electronically this may be the choice," Rai said, thinking ahead at the prison cells they'd have to unlock.

“Thank fuck, blessed quiet, finally…” She sighed, massaging her temples for a moment to get that blaring out of her head. “You may be right, Riov. We should continue without turning the power on again.”

"Actually, press the red one again. See if the alarm comes back on." Maybe it would reset. Sorry to his fellow Vulcans, but it's not like he'd enjoyed the loud noise much either, and bitches need to see.

As soon as the alarm went off, Essen's breath released. "Augh... thank you... augh... jeez... that was... that was hell... ough whoever turned that alarm off I am going to spoil you with the most amazing things from the shops on the starbase... ergh..." Clearly, the irritability from her concussion wasn't helping.

“That would be Lieutenant Commander Kya..” She said, gritting her teeth at the thought of turning the alarm on again. Though, she still pressed the red button against like Eshen asked.

The lights turned on.

"Ah, that seems preferable, shall we continue onwards? I suggest doing a scan before we do so, however," They piped up now that the lights were back.

"Ough... man... Kya, listen, anything you want to drink when we get back, it's on me," Essen said, in a tizzy from her head. "Anything you want... aaaugh..." On any other day, Essen wouldn't be acting like this.

“Pok while we’re working, please.” She corrected. “Perhaps let’s try one of the other ones?” She said, flipping yellow off.

"Excellent. Seems the system is back online, but the trigger's reset." That sounded vaguely technical. Something he learned from Allan, maybe?

“Ah, apologies, Commander Pok.. My head’s still spinning from that cursed alarm, my bad.” She said with a little head bow.

"Huh?" Saith had just gotten the ringing out of his ears. "Oh, yeah, let's go!! Good job on not dying, everyone!"

"So who is gonna scan again?" Suss asked, remembering what T'She had just said.

“We might not be dead, but I’m getting a hearing test or something when we go back to 777 in case something tore in my ears or something , stars above that hurt.” She said, her statement half hyperbole and half truth, her ears still hurt.

"Scanning!" Beep boop beep boop. Not actually, the tricorder was silent, but he could pretend it made fun noises. Saith scanned up ahead, immediately shifting back into stealth mode.

Nothing else in the corridor, it was clear to go to #prison-cells !

From how agonizing that was, Essen could only nod to Seiyya, her breath shakier than before. She could practically still hear a ringing in her ears that was amplified.

"Alright, team, onwards," Mira said, and she started towards the #prison-cells!

T'She moved with the rest of the team to the #prison-cells .

“Let’s go team.” She said as she walked forward.
