Star Trek: Starbase 777 - transporter-room-two

Away @deleted-role materialised here onto what looked to be a very industrial transporter pad. The room was dimly-lit and boringly decorated, and it frankly screamed 'evil villain base' wherever they looked. Stood to one side was a very bored looking Section agent wearing a black uniform, of whom was currently occupying herself with a game on a PADD instead of actually standing guard like she was supposed to. When the team beamed in the guard was thoroughly uninterested to start with. "Out the door and to the left. If you get lost don't bother asking for help because you'll look like a dipshit." It was only after glancing over at who beamed in that she had to do a double take, realising it was literally fucking Starfleet. She immediately dropped her PADD and reached for the weapon on her hip. "How the fuck-"

Lorin lunged forward and went to neck pinch the guard.

She moved swiftly to grasp the lady’s wrist, preventing her from getting the weapon up fast enough to threaten the group, “I suggest you keep your words to yourself. But thanks for the directions.”

Elias immediately drew their phaser, set to stun, but couldn't help but hesitate. God, not now Eli. It went against everything they stood for, and they felt relieved when Lorin took charge.

The orion took aim as soon as she materialized, but seeing as Lorin took care of the guard, she slowly looked around.

Jack immediately pointed his rifle at the guard and approached them, keeping his green eyes focused on them just in case. Sure, Vulcan neck pinch was incredibly effective, but he still knew that they were in actual danger if they were to be caught.

Seeing the only threat was disposed of, the trill jumped over to the console, trying to extract something out of it, and if possible make sure to erase any mention of their arrival just incase.

She stood over him, a look on her face that said ‘I still don’t like violence that much? Right?’

Elwyn immediately raised her rifle and aimed it at the guard, but didn't fire yet.

The guard didn't even get chance to pull her weapon out of her holster by the time Lorin and Hanna both reacted. 'Jesus Christ!' was all she managed to say before collapsing to the ground thanks to the nerve pinch, all while Hanna held onto her wrist.

Elias stepped over to the guard and crouched, adjusting them slightly so they weren't lying in a painful position, before standing up straight again. It might have been overkill, but they didn't care.

She moved to squat next to the guard, searching for any additional weapons and moving them off their body before pulling out some zap straps and placing them around their wrist. “Someone check the entrance that there’s no one posted or headed this way. Get a sense of an idea of which directions the hallways go.”

“Should we get her onto the ship?” She asked.

“Shields are up, and I recommend we don’t bring them down yet, incase we get some unwelcome company.” She muttered, tapping away to see if she could find a map.

"I'll go." Still with rifle in hand, Jack moved towards the entrance and slowly peeked his head out once the doors had opened. God, he hoped there wasn't anyone around because in the position they were he'd probably have to shoot somebody.

“I’ll follow you.” *She said. She peeked her head out as well. *

[Comms] "I assume you just did something to someone. Make sure they're tagged if you haven't already so we can beam them out. As whoever that was said, shields will need to be lowered to beam them out."

She tagged the guard. She almost felt sorry for them, but they *were the bad guys after all.*

Outside of the transporter room was what appeared to be a generic hallway. Across the way was a guard standing by but not looking in the direction of the transporter room at the time of Jack and Lorin looking out.

She went in order of importance of response, first to the Comms, “Understood. Everyone, remember to tag individuals that you restrain or pass by.” Her gaze moving towards the door, “How are we looking, I don’t want us to get turned around. Or taken by surprise.”

They pulled up their own map on the small PADD they had with them. "The third explosive site should be near by, down the hall to the right. I think." *They sounded a bit unsure. They really hoped they weren't wrong."

“Guard. Over there.” She whispered and pointed to the guard.

"There's another one across the hallway, should i take him out? It appears he hasn't noticed us yet." Awaiting orders, Jack kept his rifle ready as he aimed, freezing in that position to make sure he didn't miss his shot if needed to.

[Comms] "Once you're out of the transporter room the first placement site should be in a room to the right."

Elwyn moved up behind the others in case she was needed.

She moved behind the others, her primary toolkit in hand. It wasn’t a toolbox containing a red dual machine gun automated sentry, but it was sufficient.

[Comms] "I'd advise against firing shots unless necessary. Stealth is key."

She started to sneak up behind the guard, hoping to neck pinch him.

Jack lowered his rifle once he had heard Dagis, stepping back into the room. "So now what, do we just skitter across the hallway—" And his face immediately dropped when he saw Lorin, his eyes widening in horror as he rapidly tapped on Hanna's shoulder to warn her.

The guard, of whom was looking to the side and not entirely away from Team Two, immediately noticed the movement in his peripheral vision and looked over at Lorin, pulling his weapon from his holster and immediately pointing it at her. "And what do ya think you're tryin'a do, bluey?"

Elwyn immediately raised her rifle in anticipation.

She raised her own phaser, but remained silent. She wasn’t one to talk during fights.

With the adrenaline coursing through his body as he heard the strange voice echoing through the hallways, Bright immediately got out of the room, pointed his rifle and aimed it at the guard, then pulled the trigger-- Firing a single shot at his abdomen.

Elias prepared their medical kit, hoping they wouldn't have to use it with Lorin.

The guard was a second away from pulling the trigger when Jack's shot hit him square in his torso. He immediately collapsed to the ground from the stun.

[Comms] There was an audible sigh over the commline. "I'm doing a scan to see if anyone heard that and are currently beelining it to your location, give me a second... Surprisingly not, no. There's a door to the left that leads into some corridors, a room straight ahead with no one in it, and a room directly to the right with one person on the scans. That's the room where you're placing your first explosive."

Elias hurried over and tagged the officer, also checking to make sure he was alright.

She had been unable to provide guidance for the reactions of her team before they had acted, breathing a soft prayer of thanks that no one overheard them. She got up before looking around, “At least two individuals should station themselves outside of the room to ensure no one disturbs us, who would like this honour?”

He sighed heavily in relief and got up, his hands going almost completely white from the amount of strength applied to his grip on the rifle. "Apologies for shooting without warning first, commander. I can stand guard for you guys while you solve the matter."

Miel lifted her hand. "I can stay outside, commander, and if you need any computer hacked, just call out to me?"

“I’ll stay outside.” She said.

He shot a glare towards Lorin for a moment, stare hardening again before he looked away. It wasn't the time for this.

She raised her eyebrow at just how many volunteered to remain outside before weighing her options, “Ensign Bright and Lieutenant Sohola will remain outside. Ensign Redwood, you can come with me. I’ll need a scientists hand should I have any issues placing the device.”

“Alright.” She said, following her.

“Permission to follow..?” She said.

“Permission granted,” She stated as she headed out into #life-support-control. (edited)

( #life-support-control )

Miel nodded and stood guard at the door, phaser in hand

When they had left, Jack let out a loud sigh and leaned against the wall as he kept his rifle in hand. God, that other ensign could've been shot.

Having been told to not stand guard Elwyn followed the Commander.

Elias hesitated, but followed in case of any incoming injuries.

An alarm suddenly sounded and red lighting began to flash. "Intruders in the administration section." A computerised voice stated on repeat.

[Comms] "Well, that isn't good."

"Oh, god fucking damn it-" Jack absentmindedly cursed out as he immediately got back up to position, preparing to take a defensive stance if needed.

"Shit.." She muttered under her breath, phaser ready. She took a quick glance around to see if there were any stations she could try accessing to get rid of this alarm

"Shit... The two standing guard outside the first room. Get in there with the others and close the door now, I see action in the nearby turbolift and they'll spot you!"

Hearing the comms from Dagis, Miel nodded and went into the life support control room, covering the open door until Jack came in too.

The screen outside the nearby turbolift certainly showed it coming up to their floor.

Jack immediately just whipped around and noped the FUCK out of there along with Miel.

Miel closed the door behind him.

And only a moment after they closed the door the turbolift's own opened and a few armed guards rushed out and towards whatever team one was doing.

As soon as she was back in the room, she zipped the unconscious guards to the conscious one, her eyes narrowing as she looked at them, “You scream and I personally will be back and forget to set my phaser to a lower level of stun. Understood?”

Elias stepped up beside Hanna, speaking quietly. "Would you like me.to give him something that'll keep him out for a while?"

She glared at the guards. All she was doing on this raid was glaring at people.

"W-What the fuck did you guys do to them? They were my mates! You're monsters! This is why I dropped out of the Academy!" The conscious guard said, sounding half angry and half really quite upset, all while keeping their voice down so they weren't 'screaming'.

Elwyn too the rear and stood guard, pointing her rifle towards the turbolift in case anyone showed up.

He knelt down in front of the awake guard and glared straight into his eyes. "Dude, chill. They're just passed put, they'll be okay. You, on the other hand, will probably be anything besides okay if you scream or do anything to catch their attention. You should probably have a second thought before you continue working for 'em."

[Comms] "Okay. You need to get through that door to the left. I have no idea if you need a pass to get through or what. You'll have to figure it out."

She raised an eyebrow before looking him over, “They are unconscious and tagged so no one will be killed once we finish our mission. You are as well. We aren’t after you as individuals and so long as you can hold your tongue, I will let you remain as you are. For now, one of the ensigns will oversee and the moment you yell, they will stun you and you will wake up in the brig of a starfleet vessel. So choose whether you want that morning headache or not.” Shrugging as she stood up before heading to the door where the guards were said to be, “I need another to point the other way when the doors open, I’ve got the left.”

The bulkhead door was closed. There was a console to one side, but whether it would open or not is anyone's guess.

“Should I do it?” She asked.

"Eh, i can stay." He shrugged before getting up, gently adjusting his glasses.

"You'll be alright?" They asked Jack, concerned. Doctor mode on!

She pointed the phaser in the direction Hanna pointed out.

[Comms] "Let me know when the door is open. The guards are round a corner right now so they shouldn't see you. But you need to be quiet."

"Yeah I'll be fine, don't worry. If anything i can just shoot 'em again." Bright put his thumbs up and grinned like the chaotic fuck he was.

Elias smiled reluctantly and nodded. "Okay." They turned back to where Lorin was.

Miel headed to the console, attempting to fire it up and see if she could get that door opened.

The door didn't budge. It seemed a guard's security pass was required to be scanned. Either that, or it needed to be hacked.

Miel turned around "Do any of those guards have security passes? If not, I can try and hack it, but I'm not super familiar with Section 31's mainframe."

[Comms] "Security passes. Always security passes with this lot. The pass is easier. Most guards carry one."

The conscious guard looked over at the group. "Hey, if I tell you where mine is does that count as me cooperating? I'd quite like to visit my brother after all of this is done."

He slowly turned to the awake guard and grinned, giving another enthusiastic thumbs up. "Yup! Where's it? And if you try anything, don't. Go visit your brother and get the hell outta here, this place isn't worth it."

Elias turned and squinted at the guard dubiously. They pulled out a hypospray threateningly, silently pressuring him to tell the truth. (The hypospray was empty.)

Lorin glared at the guard. She was *not going to talk today.*

"It's in my left jacket pocket. Place it face-up against the screen and it should work. Door only stays open for ten seconds though. Keep it with you in case you need it, but it'll only work on this floor." The conscious guard said, frankly not giving a darn about Elias' intimidation tactics.

[Comms] "That checks. They usually like restricting guard access. Stops them seeing what they aren't meant to."

Jack reached into the guard's jacket with his prosthetic hand just in case, looking around for it.

The security pass was where the guard said it was.

Elwyn continued to focus on the turbolift in case some unlucky guard showed up.

He took the card out and grinned widely, getting up and waving the card in the air. "Got it!"

[Comms] "Good. Go and scan it now. The guards are still around the corner. Don't make too much noise."

"Wait me? But- Lieutenant, I'm taking care of the guards!" He rose an eyebrow, a little concerned.

"Jesus..." Miel muttered, going to Jack and grabbing the card before bringing it to the station and scanning it like the guard indicated.

Elias stood in anticipation, waiting eagerly to see what was beyond the door.

Meanwhile he just sat down next to the guard, turned to him and kinda just.... Waved. "Hi."

As soon as Miel scanned the pass the door opened.

[Comms] “Did I hear the door open? Out and to the right. Hold back before the next turn so the guards don’t see you. The doors will close in seven seconds.*

As the door opened Elwyn entered #upper-right-corridors with her rifle raised, scanning for guards.

Miel followed in quickly, bringing her phaser up.

[Comms] “I would advise against staying with the guards, by the way. There will be far more you’ll come across and we can’t afford to thin out.”

"mmmmm yeah you know what? Good idea."

Elwyn re-entered with her rifle raised, looking around briefly before pointing towards #right-turbolift-entrance. “That’s where we’re headed!”

Lorin walked in, a bit shaken.

A spark of energy seemed to re-enter Elias, and they perked up. "Got it!"

He happily made his way in, grinning.

When Jack approached the turbolift the doors automatically opened. They hadn’t been locked out yet because everyone thought the intruders were at the other side of the base.

Elwyn followed, her rifle still raised until the doors opened to reveal no one was waiting for them.

Miel stepped inside, following behind Elwyn.

Jack froze in absolute fear for a moment and immediately whipped out his rifle, but.... No one was there.

Elias also froze, and let out a long breath, realizing how frayed their nerves were. (edited)
