The transporter beam shimmered as Stadi and Hobbes materialized into existence next to the environmental suit storage unit. Katherine glanced at her superior for a second before turning and entering the unit. It only took a few minutes for her to locate a suit her size and to begin putting it on. She smiled to herself. Though she had no ability to read minds like Stadi, she could tell that he was not a big fan of the suits. Neither was she really, but she had spent enough time working in sanitary waste treatment facilities to appreciate their unique value to an engineer. Katie closed the wrist clasp on her suit and powered on the suit. A quick check of the instrumentation confirmed that all systems were nominal.

“I’m ready, Lieutenant,” she said noting that he had just finished. “Shall we see how bad things are… were in engineering?”

OOC: Great post and job streamlining us to Engineering

Dael let out a deep breath before starting to put on the dreaded enviro suits. Making sure all the clasps were snug and in place, he took a few more deep breaths before steeling himself and adding the final piece, the helmet, to fully seal himself in. He looked over at the cadet, noting some amusement on the waves of the mindscape washing over him from her. Admittedly, these suits did make one look a little odd, and he supposed he wasn’t being the best at concealing his feelings towards them. But find him anyone who actually enjoyed spending time in one of these things, and Dael would show you someone needing a trip to Sickbay to look for head trauma.

“Alright Cadet, let’s see what we’ve got.” Dael said, before making his way towards the actual Engineering deck itself from the enviro-suit storage area. Before leaving the room, he accessed the panel near the door and began a level 3 decontamination cycle for Engineering. Most of their team was either afflicted by whatever was going on, or standing next to the Betazoid, and he wasn’t wanting to take any chances, suits on or no. That should help filter out the worst of whatever this could be, should it fall under the parameters of the decon. He hoped they would, but if not, that’s what the suits were for. He still disliked not knowing the exact cause of all of this mayhem on his ship.

Walking into Engineering proper, he took up a position in front of the main console. “Alright, I’m checking to make sure there’s no other systems affected and all of Engineering systems are good. See what you can find out about the environmental systems, Hobbes, and why the ship’s decided to start making everything feel like the surface of Andoria.”

Cluttered was the second word that came to Katie’s mind as she made her way to the environmental systems control station. There was… stuff… scattered everywhere. Torn pieces of uniforms here and there. Tools that had splashes of thick red liquid… that one had green liquid… on it that she decided must have been blood. She passed a panel that had clearly lost an argument with something blunt and heavy. The damage she saw was superficial but she knew no self respecting Star Fleet officer would let it go unrepaired in any circumstances that didn’t qualify as an emergency.

What she first noticed was that she didn’t see anyone else except Stadi. The chief had transported many to the now gravity free storage compartment but she hadn’t expected him to transport everyone out of Engineering. Perhaps she had simply neglected to ask him.

She shook her head. “Focus on the job, Katherine,” she thought. And a moment later she knew why the compartment felt “like surface of Andoria” whatever that meant. She was far enough from the lieutenant to mandate using the communicator.

=^= Hobbes to Stadi. The environmental systems control console looks like it was the center of a fight using bat’leths. Repairing this is going to take some time, sir.=^=

Dael started making an overall diagnostics check on the console in front of him, running a few common algorithms and a few other macros of his own devising to try and weed out any other technical anomalies throughout the ship. He ran his hand through his hair in a frustrated huff at the Cadet’s communique, it was going to take a while to get things back to his standards on the Engineering deck. After making a few final inputs, he tapped his commbadge.

=^= Fantastic, well, that will limit our ability to make any changes from Engineering for a while. My suggestions would be that you can try to reroute controls to another less damaged console in here and see if you can get anywhere.... alternatively you can take a trip down to Environmental Controls yourself and hopefully everything’s undamaged there and you can make adjustments at the source.=^=

OOC: Time for GMs Pedantic rantings -

First there is already an environmental controls thread: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/acad/challenger/posts/159544/ please merge whatever you want from this thread into the other one. Plus you get to interact with more people and it keeps everyone’s life simpler

Second, because there is another thread for EC already, I already described a lot of what was going on there. I don’t have problems with embellishment, but please try to be consistent with what the GM tells you. I am pretty chill but others are not.

So I am going to hold of responding IC until we sort out the continuity issues.

GM Wombat

OOC: Sorry. Probably my fault.

IC:

Katie smiled. “Let’s see. That’s a difficult choice. Stay and repair a badly damaged Environmental Controls console or go make the adjustments at the Environmental Control Center on deck 2. Decisions. Decisions,” Katie said. “I’m off to Environmental Control Center to see what I can do there.”

She paused for a moment and then picked up a toolkit.

“Given the way our luck is going today, it will probably need repairs as well,” Katie said. She tapped her communicator. =^= Hobbes to Transporter. One to beam to the Environmental Control Center on deck 2. =^=
