Vadoma’s scan indicated that the order to target and fire had come from an automatic combat solution that Cori herself had initiated from the Bridge. The solution was a last ditch firing order to target and destroy all small missiles, torpedo’s and probes in the vicinity of the Saracen. Unfortunately the firing solution had been barely compatible with the Saracen’s internal engineering and power assignments, resulting in the Phaser Bank burning itself out with an overload instead of multiple rapid beams of energy designed to destroy projectiles.

That surge was hugely affected by the surging warp core behind them, which had now built up enough energy for the conduit NE Bronson was standing next to to burst, showering the man with superheated plasma and throwing him across Engineering in a shower of sparks, screaming as the Plasma bit into his side and face. More alarms sprang into place as the plasma vented through the conduit barely missing the other crew around it.

Covering her eyes from the brightness of the sparks Ella was standing and had been scanning the room. The sparks had engulfed the room like a large firework display being set in engineering, the screams were far the worst thing she had ever heard in her life, it was sickening to the core Ella would certainly hear those screams weeks to come.

Barely had the conduit burst than the image of the Terran Logo on the consoles began to flash again and control began to slip away. Cori would feel herself once again losing access to the Computer but she would note that the access she did have was far, far more limited than normal. She had no access to life support, replicators, airlocks or transporters. No access to Personnel files and her access to the weapon systems required authorization by the ships Captain. What she did have, mainly sensors, she was losing as the information of the scan from the Bridge reached her. The rift outside she could ‘see’ in the scanner data was unstable and threatening to close. That in itself might not have been a bad thing seeing as two Klingon warships were on the other side, shields raised and turning towards them.

Instinctively, she had shielded her eyes and turned her body away so as to protect from the blast but quickly she was inundated with information. Albeit, poor information. Unusually disconnected information. “Klingon ships,” she said urgently, still trying to figure out what was going on.

Of course, for those in Engineering the exploding conduits and dangerously overloading Warp Core that wasn’t responding to computer commands was slightly more pressing.

Stunned between helping the injured and attempting to help with the fires, she finally opted to help the injured and ran to the crewman who had been screaming before she hoped he was still alive. She knelt down as more sparks littered the floor around them she used her body to shield the already injured man and then looked to his face it was melted like wax and the Plasma still burning, she looked around and found a fragment of conduit it was roughly what she needed to dig out the plasma since it was made to deal with its temperature, it had to do.

Ella gulped “This might hurt a little, I’m sorry” Digging the fragment underneath the plasma and flicked the remainder of the plasma out of his skin, the burning of flesh ceasing but the smell still stinging her nostrils. “I need to get him to medical!” Behind her, the alarms continued to erupt around them.

The scene was chaotic, smoke filled the room as she looked down to her hands where crimson marred her usually petite and soft hands, her uniform scorched and ripped as she knelt next to the man who she had hoped to have just saved his life, the world seemed to be going in slow motion as it fell apart around her. Snapping back to reality the screams and shouts returning to normal she stood to lift the man up and onto her shoulder, she was thankful she was Elasian and had extra strength.

(not quite sure who Cori is… lol)

Vadoma was on the console trying to get the warp core to stabilize. When it was obvious that wasn’t going to happen, she grabbed the nearest abled body that wore the right colors and shoved him towards the warp core not caring what their rank was. She shouted above the chaos. “Check the Matter/Anti-Matter reaction assembly! See if you can manually stabilize it. I’m heading for the transfer conduits on this end!” She made her way to the start of the transfer conduits to see why things weren’t circulating like they should be. She glanced around as she moved, looking for the Chief and their guests. Her concern for him was probably higher than it should have been, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Seeing a woman with someone on her shoulder, she passed them and nodded towards the doors. “Get him to medical. Nothing more you can do here.” And she was on her way again.

OOC: Cori is me (Linds). Corinne Dalton aka SARAH, the once human person whose consciousness now exists in the Saracen’s systems and is interconnected and thus she became their AI. Sort of.

Chaos all around her, Corinne hurried over to the reaction assembly, hoping she could help stabilize. “Can we vent the plasma?” she said. Looking over at Jarred, there was a deep fear in her eyes. “I don’t have full control,” she said urgently. He would understand what that meant, if anyone would.

“I’m on it, Kalani I want you on this monitor” Jarred said pointing as he got to the console placement behind them. “Rely information as it comes I am going to see about bypassing ice rides and seeing what can be done for his plasma.”

“Okay,” she stood at the console trying to make heads or tails at the information coming in. Luckily Jarred was only asking her to play his secretary. Taking a moment she worked the basic control systems she knew bringing up one of the two most secure locations in the ship.

“Natasha,” Kalani said through the cracking channels.

“I have them,” the CMO instantly answered. “I sent down Washington,” she said before clicking off the connection.

The captains wife didn’t need to say more to Kane. people stuck together on the ship. At least now Kalani could focus.

“Attempting venting process now!” Vadoma hollered out as she and another Ensign worked to get the temp down and bring down the spike. “Come on, gimme a response,” she murmured to the system as she and the NE did their best to calm things down and bring the ship back into some semblance of balance.

Venting the Plasma would need to be into space, but there was enough control left in the system to open the valves manually and reduce pressure in the conduits. The Saracen vented Plasma into the nothing around them which did help to bring the surge somewhat under control, but didn’t fix it. Pressure started rising again immediately but it had brought them time. Jarred and Vadoma needed to find a way to get the Core under control.

The console systems indicated that impulse engines had been engaged, and Cori would ‘see’ from what access she had that they were heading towards the rift outside, and the Klingon ships. The ships computers seemed to stabilize again for a moment, with the main engineering console flashing on screen warnings of a Warp Core Breach if the surge was not brought under control. Verbal communication to the Bridge was down again however.

Kalani would find with the more stable system that the console she was using seemed to be using programming that was foreign to the Saracen, and it was conflicting with the proper LCARS system. Cori would find the system resisting her attempts to access it, as if every place she poked, a door would shut in response like something was reacting to her.

Matter/Antimatter balance was the next thing Vadoma would check. As she ran thru the program and manual checks, she hollered to the others. “I’m running out of ideas here! Anyone got a solution that doesn’t involve ejecting the warp core?” She frowned and looked to see if she had managed to solve the issue or at least buy them more time. She was also watching the build up on the plasma again. She’d vent again if needed. Even time in five minute increments was worth living.
