From Greiss’ position at the terminal he could see the lift sensor go insane as lift got out of callabration. There was nothing for the poor cadet to do, however. As soon at the fault registered the problem with the lift, the problems with the collapsing tunnels also struck. In a matter of time, but his engineering estimation, the whole facility would be sinking into the frozen rocky crust and too unsafe to enter again.

(OOC: You can see that I have trimmed the post back, as it was getting quite long. I could have trimmed it back some more, but I wanted to keep Scott’s character still in there from before his LOA so he wouldn’t be lost from the thread. You don’t always have to do that, though, outside of the Academy. I’m also going to step in a bit more here, since you are both just returning from your LOAs.)

Keval saw the indicators start flashing on Greiss’s console, drawing his attention. “F’larnk,” he said softly to himself as he read the status.

“Griess, see if they at least installed some stabilizers to deal with an emergency collapse,” Keval ordered. “Douglas, go back to the entrance and help get the away team away from the turbolift shaft, and start evacuating the facility.”

=^= Vras to all away team members. This facility is coming down, and is coming down fast. We need to do an emergency evacuation. If Challenger can’t transport us, head straight to the runabout. =^=

-Lt. Keval Vras, CE

Greiss could barely keep composure as his console rattled from the rumbling underneath. While he frantically navigated submenus searching for a stabilizer system, he spoke.
“Sir?” He exclaimed, hyperventilating while he paused. “Are they going to make it out in time? Will we?”

~Cadet Winston Greiss, Engineer.

Tija and her team were already at the entrance to the mine. As she hear Vras voice through her combadge she adjusted her position so that she’d be in his (or one of his cadet’s) line of vision. “My team and I are already here, Lieutenant,” she called out.

~Lt. Tija, CMO

Greiss, looking at Tija, nervously spoke to Vras. “If she has wounded, she needs to move them quickly. From the readings I’m seeing, we don’t have much time to get out of here!”

~Cadet Winston Greiss, Engineer.

Tija shook her head and said in her usual curt way, “If you’re talking about me and my team: We don’t have any wounded. Everyone in the bunker had only minor and superficial injuries and returned to the barracks. But from what I’ve heard a little while ago from Lieutenant Tavium, it sounded like they have several wounded and are still trying to get them out of the mine. But she told me to wait here at the entrance with my team.”

~Lt. Tija, CMO

He grew more and more panicked, rambling words that somehow formed understandable phrases, and after a few seconds, proper sentences. “I understand that I am acting out of line, but wait? I-we need to leave as soon as possible, before we run out of time!”

~Cadet Winston Griess, Engineer

Tija’s eyes flashed dangerously and the petite redhead crossed her arms in front of her chest. “The other team has injured miners with them. I will not stop anyone from leaving before they are back. But I will stay here and make sure that everyone gets to safety.” Not once did the CMO raise her voice and yet it was probably more than obvious how angry she was and that she clearly disagreed with Greiss. She understood that he was worried, panicked really, and at the same time she knew that it wouldn’t be the last time in his career that he would be in a situation like this. Like everyone he needed to learn to keep his emotions in check and a level head in dangerous and stressful situations.

Without another word Tija walked closer towards the entrance to be able to assist the other team the moment they arrived. She’d only leave once they were back. Or if someone physically forced her to.

OOC: My apologies for Tija’s harsh reactions. It’s completely IC :)

~Lt. Tija, CMO

Greiss cowered back shakily. He tried to smile, but his fear and embarrassment turned it into something of a terrified grimace, with mouth slightly agape. “I was only presenting- a- a suggested course of action… Ma’am.” He fiddled his thumbs. He was backed into a metaphorical corner now. He’d have to take this risk as to not seem like a coward that would flee at the first sign of danger. Of course, that kind of lifestyle was intensely appealing, but he doubted any of his superior officers would take kindly to that behavior. “I always intended on staying here! No need to worry yourself.” A drop of sweat rolled across his forehead. He was knee-deep in lies now. Greiss hated lying, but it was quite the unfortunate stroke of bad luck that he had something to hide.

~Cadet Winston Greiss, Engineer.

“Breath, cadet, and follow your training,” Keval said, surprisingly gentle. “Just think through what steps you know you need to take. We need to monitor the situation until the rest of the away team is out of the tunnels. Check the systems, look for structural support systems, and start diverting power from less critical systems. That should slow the collapse down.”

Keval then quickly headed to the CMO, talking in a somewhat hushed tone. “Tija, we should have the civilians and as many cadets as possible safely away from the mine while the rest of us wait for the rest of the away team to come up.”

-Lt. Keval Vras, CE

The familiar sensation of a transport sequence came over the team and they soon found themselves in the Challenger’s Sickbay, safe and sound…
