Star Trek: Starbase 777 - lower-right-corridors

Renakir entered the lower right corridors, standing tall with phaser rifle in hand. "Remember to cuff and tag any enemies, also high frequency will stun them so use it wisely," He warned the group as he looked around the long hallway in front of them. Was this what Erebus looked like? Was he going to be joining Reman Turbo Jesus on this mission?

She quickly followed behind, phaser in hand. She nodded at the order, staying somewhere in the middle of the group.

The engineer followed behind Jayrehi, holding her phaser up. She quickly made sure it was set to stun first, having not used hers so far.

Jack followed behind in silence, standing next to Renakir and preparing to stun people. Honestly, he just hoped that if he died Saren would be okay, because the group and the mission are more important than his wellbeing.

Upon turning left down the corridor the group soon came across the y-junction Dagis had mentioned.

[Comms] "Group one, go right."

"Roger that," Renakir said as he gestured for the group to follow him to the right. He was still on guard, his floppy ears twitching with each sound they picked up. It was a good thing he had floppy ears at times like this. A little echolocation, like a bat.

She followed Renakir.

She trodded along, making sure to be quiet as can be.

And he went right as told, a bit jealous because he didn't have anything he could do to be more efficient. However, he did have quiet steps and proper breath control so that was a plus!

[Comms] "Once you get to the end of the right hallway there's a 90 degree turn. Straight ahead of you will be a diagonal square room, and one person that I assume is a guard. Don't attract attention and give away your location, or that there's even a second team in their base."

"Affirmative," Renakir said as he looked towards his team. Everyone seemed to be on guard and ready for action. What he worried about what how much action they would be seeing because Tenakruvek knew there was gonna be some real shit. He walked as instructed by Dagis, phaser rifle clutched in hand ready to ambush that single guard.

Ahead of Renakir was a single guard not even slightly paying attention. She was leant up against the wall and looking upwards, whistling a little tune. This could be easy, but there was also a left and right corridor that needed checking for anyone.

Renakir blinked as he saw the guard, the fear and anxiety finally coming to the surface as he looked back at his team. "I'll go for this guard, someone cover me and the others check the right and left corridors," Renakir instructed , thinking that would be the best plan of attack.

Miel nodded, and whispered her answer. "I'll cover you, Lieutenant." She said, raising her phaser, ready.

2

"Thanks, let's go," Renakir said before charging forward towards the guard with phaser pointed right at them!

And Miel followed, but she paid attention to their surroundings in case more guards came in instead of focusing on the one guard.

And so did Jack, green eyes focused on one thing only as he grinned. Oh, it was kickin' ass time.

1

The trill followed, looking around to make sure nobody was trying to sneak around.

As Renakir charged the guard the woman only noticed when he was a couple of feet in front of her. "What the hell-" She said, reaching for her weapon despite the fact she could literally be stunned in a second. The left and right corridors were clear, with no other guards currently in site.

Renakir fired off his phaser at the guard twice and somehow managed to not scream or yell despite every Reman instinct telling him to do so.

Lorin followed Renakir.

He knelt down next to the guard and cuffed + tagged them, propping them up on the wall on a very funny position.

Realizing that the other two had decided to not follow Renakir's instruction and had simply followed them, Miel decided to do what was actually instructed and went to one of the two corridors, making sure they were clear.

Jayrehi went into the opposite corridor, peaking her head slightly to check if the coast was clear.

2

The guard instantly collapsed once stunned. Unsurprising, really. There was no one near the group right now, thankfully.

[Comms] Dagis chimed in over comms, but her words were heavily broken up by static. "Did you [...] out? You [...] go into the room [...] right. There are [...] people on [...] scans." And straight after she finished talking the comm line turned to nothing but static.

“Comms are breaking up.” She muttered, quickly taking out her kit to see if there was anything that could be done about it.

2

"W-What? Lieutenant?" Once Renakir saw that Bright had successfully secured the guard he could focus on trying to make out what Dagis was saying. "Room on the-- right? There's people?" He tried piecing together the random words he picked up , but honestly he he Romulan-Reman hadn't got a clue what was going on. "We need to keep moving, right it is, everyone stay armed."

After clearing the corridor, she came back, hearing Dagis' broken communication. With a nod, she followed Renakir towards the room to the right, phaser up and ready.

"Uhoh, something's probably jamming our signals..." Jack mumbled, getting up and having his rifle in hand before continuing with Renakir.

"I hope it's strawberry," Renakir said in an attempt to match Jack's level of witty humour. Again, totally not the time but anything to distract him from his paranoia and anxiety.

There were various items in Jayrehi's engineering kit, but none that would be able to fix the communication problems as they were at Eventide's end, and not theirs. The room to the right had another door between them and their next placement site. #weapons-repair-lab.

Jack literally wheezed and turned to him, crossing his arms. "Agreed with you, strawberry jam is the fuckin' best!"

Miel looked at the two and shook her head. "I miss Commander Stone already.."

“I prefer raspberry jam.” She said.

Carrying Jack, she walked out into the corridor.

The diagonal square was empty apart from the previously taken out guard.*

[Comms] "Right. Across the way is that small room. There's someone in there. Be careful."

“Ok.. How do we get to the others?” She asked.

[Comms] "What others? Please clarify."

“The other group. With Elwyn and Elias.” She clarified.

[Comms] "Oh! Back the way you came, down the hallway to the turbolift. First door straight ahead."

Elwyn exited the unmarked room with one hand holding her smoothie and the other holding her Type-2 phaser, making sure the area was clear as she took a sippy sip of her drink.

She walked in the direction Dagis pointed out.

Elias also exited, drinking the smoothie, medkit over their shoulder and phaser still in hand.

She walked out, her focus still on the hall and what she could hear as she walked between the Ensign and Lieutenant, her hand not straying from her hip where her phaser was.

It was only a moment later that group one and group two met up again. Finally, Bright can be treated for being stunned.

"Oh my gosh, what happened to you guys?" Elwyn exclaimed as she saw Jack being carried.

Upon seeing Jack, Elias immediately rushed over to him, concerned. "Here, I'll take a look at him." They gestured for Lorin to set him down.

She sipped her smoothie once before questioning the group, “Were all the bombs placed in their designated spaces?”

She set him down gently. “He got stunned. Oh, and we placed a bomb.” She said.

“Yeah uh, he did.” She looked away sheepishly. “Your orders, Commander?”

[Comms] "As far as I know only one of two have been placed. You have one explosive to place still, and there are three rooms you need to clear and tag people in down here. I also checked the upper floor and there are two more rooms I didn't get you to do in and need to be cleared."

Elias crouched, set the smoothie down and quickly unfastened the medkit. They scanned him with a medical tricorder, making sure that there were no other complications. They became fixated on Jack and weren't paying attention to anything or anyone else. Jack was the priority, even if his condition wasn't severe. They pulled out a hypo to counteract the stunning effects--an anti sedative of sorts--and sat back to give him room as he came to.

She listened to the lieutenant in her ear before looking at the group, “Lieutenant Murrow, can I leave you here with one additional body to help get Ensign Bright in working order, the rest of us will finish clearing this floor and placing the bomb. We will return to the lift and go back upstairs to finish tagging and securing that floor as well.”

“I’ll be the additional body.” She offered.

[Comms] "There is a potential lab you need to clear and you'll need a science officer with you."

"Yes, sir." Elias turned, giving the Commander a nod before turning back to Jack. "When I have him fixed up, do you want me to join you or wait at the lift to meet up with you there?"

“Aye sir.” She said, going over to stand with Hanna.

She looked over the ensign who had been injured before nodding, “If he can maintain professionalism and not hinder the progress, come meet us. But if he’s going to be loud and disruptive, it’s best he doesn’t support with infiltration.” She nodded to the rest of the group before starting to move down the halls towards the direction of the Y shaped section, taking a left.

[Comms] "If I may make a suggestion, Murrow and whoever is with them stays to treat Bright. They then head off to clear the right farthest room. The rest of you head left to clear the other two and place the final explosive."

She paused as she listened to the lieutenant’s suggestion before nodding her head and turning to face the others, “I support what Lieutenant Dagis has suggested, but please keep us in the loop as to what you decide.”

[Comms] "Commander, your team will be heading left at the y-junction. There is a guard moving back and forth on patrol in the corridor just after that. You could sneak past if you're quick enough. The alarm going off will give you noise cover. The rest of you will go right. That area has already been cleared. You just have to clear one room with one person."

Elwyn followed Hanna, thinking it best to go in the most dangerous direction.

Elias listened intently as their orders were given. "Yes, sir. I'll keep you informed of our progress." They felt excited, turning back to Jack. They were being trusted to go off on their own with a few other people. That was great! Elias smiled to themself and felt confident.

She paused at the entrance of the corridor, watching for the guard she had been told of and debating internally of whether they should all sneak past in stages or take them down. It was probably safer to take them down. “Ensign Preston. Keep your phaser on the guard. I’m going to attempt to physically restrain them when they walk by, should this be ineffective, please stun them.”

She was following Elwyn, and whispered. “What should I do?”

"They're going back and forth. If you sneak up behind them when they turn around you could take them out quietly." Elwyn said via her head communication thingy. "Follow me when I move." She added as she looked at Lorin.

The guard slowly approached the end of their patrol route, before turning around and walking away from the group. This was the time to act.

[Comms] "Murrow. Tell me when you've treated Bright and I'll guide you as well."

She moved with practiced precision as she took the fewest amount of steps up behind the guard, her one hand moving to their mouth, a cloth in their hand to prevent being bitten, and the other to their hip, removing their phaser and tossing it in the direction of the group before returning to their arm, predicting they would try to grab her hand over their mouth. She used one knee to the back of theirs, attempting to knock them forward and into a kneeling position before using the hand not on their mouth - having moved from throwing the phaser to grab the wrist of their nearest hand - to twist that hand behind their back forcefully and in a way that would cause dislocation should they squirm. “Go down easy and you won’t wake up with a headache.”

Elwyn kept her Type-2 trained on the guard to keep Hanna safe, all while still holding her smoothie. As the guard's weapon was tossed in her direction she moved to secure it with her foot. (edited)

Hanna's actions worked as expected, and the guard didn't even react to start with as they were forced to the ground. That was, until they attempted to reverse-headbutt the Commander.

She gave a grunt as she moved her head to the side, taking the brunt of the head butt to her shoulder before twisting their arm more, expecting them to fall further forward due to the pain. Damn. She was going to have a bruise there in the morning.

Meanwhile, Jack had recovered successfully. Elias glanced back in the direction the other's had went, before talking into the earpiece. "I've treated Ensign Bright. He's fine. I'm ready for instructions whenever you are." They spoke quietly, trying to be calm now that everyone else had actually left.

Upon Hanna twisting the guard's arm more the guard did, in fact, topple to the ground properly, now well and truly giving up.

[Comms] "Okay. You're going to go right at the y-junction."

He slowly woke up and yawned as he looked up at Elias, grinning tiredly at them. "Heeeey. I kept my promise... Not dead yet."

"Acknowledged. I am still VERY DISAPPOINTED." They said, but grinned, handing him the smoothie. "Drink some of this. Pick-me-up." They packed up their supplies and stood up, offering him a hand. "We gotta go."

He took the cup and sniffed before immediately taking a sip of it, humming softly and happily. "Is this a fucking smoothie- Where did you even get this?! Tastes good though." Jack grinned and took their hand, slowly lifting himself up.

"Magic." They laughed. "Nah, there's a smoothie machine in there." They pointed back to the #unmarked-room-three . They began walking down the corridor and beckoned Jack to.follow, soon coming across the y-junction and halting, peering around the corner. (edited)

She successfully restrained the guard once they were on the ground, zip thing both hands and legs before applying the duct tape muzzle, leaning the cloth against their mouth to prevent any real injury to their skin, but it being breathable so they could survive fine. She rolled her shoulder to work some blood flow back into it before gesturing for her team to move into the #medical-facility room, taking precaution at the doorway and levelling her phaser at the first person she would see.

They turned the corner and began to go right, phaser still drawn. "Lieutenant, we've turned right."

He went after them, rifle in hand and fucked up glasses on his face.

Elwyn walked past the tied-up guard quickly, putting her smoothie down to tag them for transport, before picking it up and following Hanna.

[Comms] "Okay. Murrow, Bright, go into the diagonal square room and take a left. At the end of a long hallway is a door. Behind there is a person."

"Should we knock out that person?" He asked genuinely, tilting his head.

[Comms] "Only if they're a threat. Restrain and tag."

"Aye, sir." Elias tentatively entered said room, keeping close to the walls. As instructed, they took a left and reached the door. The back of their neck prickled uneasily. "We're here." They murmured, checking to see if the door was locked or not, phaser pointed directly in front of them.

He quietly followed them, taking care not to make sudden movements or loud noises.

The door was not locked.

[Comms] “Good. Enter carefully.”

They signaled for Jack to head to the other side of the door so they could have both sides covered.

He rapidly scooted to the other side of the door and kept his rifle on hand, now absolutely ready to fuck shit up.

They breathed deeply, counted down, and opened the door, immediately raising their phaser.

And he burst in right after, raising his rifle and staring at them with a wide grin.

As the door opened an unarmed engineer immediately turned around and, after seeing their weapons, raised their hands. “Don’t shoot! I-I just work here!” The room itself was small, but it was nothing more than an enlarged computer console. It could, in theory, come in handy to bypass some security features within the base.

1

"Good, reevaluate your work choices and get the hell outta here!" He went over to the engineer and carefully cuffed them, along with tagging them. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you. It's just for safety measures."

“O-o-o-okay…” The engineer replied, feeling more than entirely concerned about the current situation they found themself in.

[Comms] “What’s in that room, anyway? It’s not marked on my analysis.”

"There's a BIG ass computer in here, think these large screens and consoles. Don't know why in the hell, though." He spoke into the comms, shrugging slightly.

1

[Comm] “That’s awfully convenient, and useful for that matter, because the other half of your team have come across a laser grid. Can you see if you can get that thing switched off? Use whoever was in the room if you have to.” (edited)

"Let's put my epic gamer skills to test." He cracked his knuckles and sat down on the chair in front of the computer, seeing if he could do anything to unlock the laser grid. "Hey uh, engineer fella, mind helping me out real quick?"

2

“Oh, uh, s-s-sure…” The engineer said as they walked over to stand next to Jack. “What do you need me to do?“

"First, how the hell do i operate this thing? And second, how do I disable the laser grid?" He asked, raising a red eyebrow at them.

2

“O-oh! The laser grid? Just go to the tab marked ‘security’ and select the grid. You’ll need my code to switch it off for maintenance but it should work for ten minutes or so.” The engineer replied, seemingly quite content with helping. They already knew the fact they’d been tagged meant Starfleet was getting them the heck outa dodge.

He pushed his glasses up and moved his Space Mouse Cursor™ around, clicking on the marked tab and selecting the grid. "Got it, thanks! What's the code?" Jack happily looked back at them, grinning.

“Seven-alpha-five-five-lima-five-one-one-nine-three-juliet-eight-foxtrot-three-foxtrot.” The engineer said off the top of their head.

"....riiiiight. Oh man." He sighed, wondering if he'd have to type out that entire thing.

He would.

Loud groan. "Okay. Mind saying that out again but slowly?"

“Seven-alpha-five-five-lima-five-one-one-nine-three-juliet-eight-foxtrot-three-foxtrot.” The engineer repeated, only this time slower.

“Seven-alpha-five... uh, five-lima-five-one-one... err..... nine-three-juliet, eight-foxtrot-three, and.... uh. Foxtrot. yeah." He repeated as he two finger typed his way through that shit.

2

Despite the two-fingered typing the password went in successfully, and the laser grid said it was now in maintenance mode. “That should be it done.” The engineer said with a small smile.

[Comms] “Did you do it?”

"Thank yooooou! And YUP! Y'all on team one can go!!" He cheerfully spoke into his comms. (edited)

[Comms] “Good. I have a new job for you if you’re up for it.”

"Send it, sir. I'm ready."

[Comms] “Head back to the turbolift. I need two rooms upstairs checking. They have people in and we need them tagged. You can probably use your stun grenades to take them out as a group.”

"How many people exactly?" He checked his arsenal and grabbed a stun grenade, nodding and placing it back so he wouldn't forget about it.

[Comms] “Currently one in one room, and four in another. That could change. Let me know when you’re back in #right-turbolift-exit.”

"Got it. If i die, tell Ensign Saren Morvar that he can have my rock collection." He chuckled and got up, giving two thumbs up to the engineer before leaving the room without Elias.

2

[Comms] “You’re not dying.”

"If i die, sir."

22:59

Skitter skitter skitteeeeeerrrrr. Off he goes, to the turbolifts!

Elias, who had definitely been there the whole time, also went to the turbolifts.

She walked through the halls like a pro now, but she still maintained one hand on her phaser the whole time.

Elwyn followed, her rifle raised just in case.

She followed Hanna.

She walked down the hall until she reached the Y section as directed before turning to the left.

Elias followed quietly.

She followed Elias, regarding them a little weirdly because of the whole turbolift incident.

Upon seeing Lorin, Elias remembered to see how they were doing. "How are you faring, Ensign?" They asked, dropping back to walk next to Lorin.

She continued straight down the hall and would enter into the other room unless there was a door here.

“As well as you can, considering the circumstances.” She lied. She knew her normal state wasn’t anything anyone would call normal, but at least she wasn’t actively panicking anymore.

Elwyn followed the group quite happily, sippy sipping her smoothie and keeping an eye out for any more agents.

As the team walked down the hallway and approached the location of Team One there was a doorframe, but as the power had recently gone out the door had automatically opened, so they were free to enter the #biology-lab.
