Ch’zaolrirh could sense the change in the air as the ionisation went up with the destruction of the security drone. He was also able to sense that there were more security drones arriving from the passageway ahead of the fighters.

Kolar was successful in getting past the next set of subroutines and shut down another major part of the installation. From what he could decipher, it seemed that the maintenance drones would not be coming to repair the damage. What was more disconcerting was that the system had begun to deploy subroutines to block Kolar’s intrusion. It seemed that one particular section of the code was more protected than the rest that were still functioning. The code was not too complex for Kolar but it was many layered and time was not a luxury at the moment.

GM

“It’s adapting.” Kolar looked at it. “I can keep ahead of it, but It’s going to keep me stuck to an access point to counter program.” He looked ahead. “You were doing well, I think it might be time to split up again, Mr. Ch’zaolrirh.”

Ch’zaolrirh turned back to the CSO, “Something else is coming. I don’t know what, but I imagine more security drones. If the system is adapting this area might be too dangerous for any of us of on foot…” As he continued to watch Kolar work at the panel, he tried to think of a solution. “Commander, do you think there is any way to continue your work remotely?”

Ch’zaolrirh (COS)

As he said this the fighters had managed to corner the remaining security drone. It, too, did not escape the fighters’ combined strategy. However, it was too early to celebrate. Sensors showed that two more security drones were on their way. They were two minutes away from contact.

GM

“It’s not an uplink.” Kolar commented without looking up. “Maybe I can hook in my tricorder, then link it to another tricorder. But I can’t walk and program… are you planning on carrying me, like an emperor of old?” At that comment he did spare a look up. He was joking, but he was also wondering what Ch’zaolrirh ahd in mind.

The Andorian looked puzzled, the joke having gone over his head. After pondering it for a moment he shook his head, “I was hoping we might be able to beam out of here before we become collateral damage?”

The COS watched as Kolar tapped his comm-badge:

When he looked back, Kolar found that he had only one layer to disable before shutting down the whole system. That would take slightly less than a minute.

=^= Red squad, two more incoming… Maybe you heard the tale of the Hydra?=^=

Balfor Kolar CSO

Papa Bear’s hearty laugh came over the comm. =^=Da, Hydra. Is 7-headed beast from Russian mythology. Cut off one head, two more grow back, unless you pour vodka on and set on fire. Good waste of vodka.=^=

Papa Bear (pilot)

Ch’zaolrirh took the hint, “I guess we are sticking around.” Still looking to address the away team’s safety, the COS reached out to the dragoon…

=^= COS to Dragoon. The away team is under drone fire. Red squadron has engaged, but some personal protection would be welcome. Is there anyway to beam a personal shield emitter to our coordinates?? =^=

COS Ch’zaolrirh

=^=Understood Ch’zaolrirh. Hang on. The personal shield emitter is on its way, =^= Jason’s disembodied voice answered.

Jason Harn, XO
Lt. Banner flew in with Red Squad to continue the firing…locking onto another target he got ready to fire.....

Banner

The first drone fired but missed. It was moving randomly as its weapons were charging. Banner only needed to get it before the drone got its weapon charged up.

Banner took aim at the drone and his targeting computer locked on....”I got you now”.....exclaimed Banner as he fired directly towards the drone.

Lt. Banner

The other drone had fired at the other fighters and missed as well, finding its end on a higher part of the wall. Ael almost had some of the collateral debris hitting him as well. A large chunk of the wall that fell off missed the port wing by two inches.

GM

“Or,” Kolar started on the final firewall. “I can just shut down the whole thing…” He kept tapping as he programmed trying to time his comments with the actual shut down of the system.

Kolar

The COS watched Kolar as he awaited the shield emitter. One way or the other, things would come to a head.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

The last hurdle crossed, Kolar was able to shut down the system.

The power went out and the drones that were fighting with the fighters stopped mid air and descended gently to the ground. It would seem that there had been some mechanism in them to prevent them from just falling due to gravity. The hum that was part of the background stopped and the silence was deafening.

GM

Banner watched the drones stop engaging and lower to the ground; suddenly, all the targets were gone from his scanner. He thought to himself, “Great....nothing else to blow up.”
