Valentina frowned and tried to suss out what she was seeing. Occasionally she swung her arm around her as if swatting someone or something. Something had definitely come close enough to hurt her. She was sure it wasn’t going to help. But it made her feel better. Even if it made her look ridiculous.

She kept glancing at the doors to see if the others were coming. She was trying to figure out how to find these ‘invisible’ beings, or whatever they were. She didn’t relish the idea of waving her arms for the next several days, worse case scenario. And she was already acutely aware she was going to be sleepy soon. She hadn’t slept on the shuttle, figuring she would check in, enjoy dinner and turn in early to start fresh in the morning. Something told her she’d sleep on every shuttle ride she took from here on out.

XO

Valentina was getting the right idea, if there was something that she couldn’t see. The communication was finally translated and the message stated that all critical areas had been secured and that they were ready to move onto the second phase.

“OOooohhhh nonononono,” the XO growled low under her breath. Trying her best, she started checking the systems she hadn’t thought of before. Engineering, Security and medical. If she could get in, she could reroute and lock them up.

As the hairs on the back of her neck went up, from not swiping her hand out in the last several minutes, she got the the point she couldn’t hold it and she shuddered. Turning suddenly she swung her right hand and her fingers squeezed the phaser to let the beam wide spread ‘stun’ in a 1/4 arc of the bridge. Anything directly behind her would be spared, but anything to her immediate right and in a partial arc around her would get sprayed with the particles. She had never had trouble being alone before. But this ship was giving her the creeps.

Valentina
XO

The arc made contact with something and it squealed in pain before it fell to the floor and a small device fell off and revealed a ugly looking creature, there was a rush of air as something moved to the now fallen creature. Valentina would now know who was attacking her and causing trouble on the ship. It was at that moment that the bridge door opened and the three other crew appeared.

Valentina jumped and aimed to the turbo lift. Seeing her own crew, she called out. “Sweep the whole deck on STUN! Hit every square inch!” She laughed. “Don’t hit me!”

She spun the rest of the way around, her own phaser completing the sweep she had begun. Unless they were standing on the console she had just been typing on, chances are, they’d be hit. She kept her back to the console to keep herself out of the sweeping line of fire of the others.

Valentina
XO

Valentina’s phaser fire hit another two of them. Gods only knew how many more of them were on the ship or what they were doing with the rest of the crew on the surface.

As the phasers seem to drop several on the bridge, Valentina swore. “Well that explains the headache and hallucination. I believe the crew is on the surface at the mercy of these folks.” She rubbed her temple where she felt the bruises. “I think they have some kind of mind manipulation.” She growled. Secure them. We need to find a way to basically phaser stun the entire ship and get whoever is left. And,” she moved back to the console to check some things, “Make sure we have control of the ship’s systems once more at 100%. We need to lock those commands to the bridge as well.”

She glanced at those with her. “We’re it, guys. We have to save the ship, then save the crew. If you aren’t up for it I need to know now. You can remain on the bridge and keep it secure.” She glanced at those around her in between checking security, engine control and life support. A slight frown of thought crossed her brow as she murmured, “Life support....” as if trying to remember something integral about it.

Valentina
XO

The others nodded “Yes ma’am.” They didn’t seem to be afraid to jump in and do the dirty work “What about using one of these to short out the others that are on the ship.” He said looking up “You can set the scanners to this frequency and we can see how many there were on the ship and we can remotely secure them or something.”

Life support was secured as was Engineering now. Security was still questionable, but Valentina at least now had security cameras that she could use to look at the various parts of the ship.

Valentina was grateful she wasn’t going it alone on this. “Ok, so let’s do that. We need to secure Engineering, Security, especially the weapons, and Medical as well as the bays.” She growled slightly under her breath. She’d have to leave the bridge to help check out and secure the rest of the ship. But she was loath to do that yet. Glancing back at the ones they had knocked out and secured with bindings, she frowned as a not so Valentina thought crossed her mind.

She stepped towards the one she had stunned first. “Or perhaps we can just ask them to round themselves up and give us our crew back....” the way her voice deepened, made her sound a bit more serious, and a little more scary, than she should have been able to be. She had planned to come to her new ship, get to know the CO and crew and have an exciting adventure. She hadn’t planned on coming onto an almost empty ship full of hostiles that had captured the crew and were mentally torturing them.

She knelt down and looked at the creature before her. Without looking up, she spoke low and slow trying to keep her rising anger in check. “Get me the first aid kit. I want the amyl nitrate capsules. We are going to get some answers.” She slid the body to the center rail behind the Command Chairs and propped the alien up. In clenching her jaw, she felt the bruises on her temple. She was already getting a headache and was trying her best to relax because it was making it worse when she ground her teeth.

Lt. Burcham woke up in his chambers. He didn’t remember falling asleep. He walked to his CoS office and grabbed his padd, noting that no one was in the security wing. He made his way to medical to start his check up, but there was no personnel at all. =^= “Lt. Burcham to bridge, I’m in sickbay right now, I was just in my security office, and there isn’t a soul on this ship. Is anyone there? What’s going on?=^= He asked as he was trying to keep himself calm.
LT. Drake Burcham, CoS

The other voice on the comm made Valentina frown. How was someone still on board and not taken? Valentina hit the comms. =^=Mr Burcham, there are hostile aliens on board that have cloaking ability.=^= She tapped on the screen and got his location. =^= Lock your room. I’m sending a couple guys for you. You are all to be armed and make your way to the cargo bay on your deck. There is a weapons locker there with a couple additional phasers. Wait for the guys to get there. I don’t want you overcome in the halls. That’s an order, Lieutenant. Do you understand?=^=

She nodded to the two security officers. “Sweep before you on your way there. Grab the Lieutenant and get to the Cargo Bay and wait there. Once the bay is secure, let me know. I’m gonna flood the ship with sleeping gas. That should knock them out and we can sweep the ship and dunp them in secured bays with locked out commands.” The two NEs nodded and took off to get the Lieutenant.

Valentina nodded to the shuttle pilot. “Let’s get him woke up, shall we? Time to end this.” She popped the capsule and waved it beneath the alien’s nose to try and revive him.

(Let’s keep the LT activity on this thread… since it’s just the two of us, no point in seperate threads and cross posting lol … easier on GM as well)

bump 7.27.20

Lt. Burcham hoped that his information was activated in the system. =^= “Computer, security lockdown sick bay. Only command staff can enter from outside, authorization, Lt. Drake Burcham, Chief of Security.”=^=
=^=”Acknowledged. Sick bay has been locked down.”=^= “Well, that’s a relief. now just wait till the ensigns get down here. This is not what I had in mind for first meeting my crewmates.” He said to himself. =^=”Lt. Commander, sickbay has been locked down, I’ll sit here as you ordered until the ensigns arrive.”=^= he told her through comms.
Lt. Burcham, CoS.
