The doors to the bridge slid open less than a minute later and the Security Chief stepped onto the bridge. “Status, Ms. Keen.” he said to the Ensign at the security station. “Orions incoming, Chief. Weapons lock on us. Tachyon drained us by 15%. We can do shields, weapons, or sensors. Not all of them. Maybe two at a time… if we are lucky.”

Tenkiller raised shields immediately. “We can’t do anything if a single salvo blows us apart. Captain, recommend arming only torpedo bays. They won’t use as much power, and we don’t need sensors to back up the targeting computer to fire a few spreads and knock them around a bit. One photon followed by a round of quantum, and they should back off at least.” and he began programming a firing solution that would but a large spread directly in front of the Orion vessel and then another, more powerful, to back them away.

Sheriye sighed in relief and Tenkiller barrelled onto the bridge and took over. She was a natural predator but that was warm, living things she could chase down. Not ship board warfare.

Heather Argeneau was off the lift after the Security Chief and heading towards the bridge station on the bridge so she can communicate between the bridge and Main Engineering.

“Firing solution set. Ready to launch. 3 second interval between salvos.”

Tenkiller, CoS

Tenkiller looked at the CSO. “What is the status on the Away Team?” he asked as his finger hovered over the launch controls.

Tenkiller, CoS

“I will find out,” Sheriye immediately said as she keyed open the comms again.=^=Chimerra to Commanderr Kierrnan. Sstatuss, ssirr? We arre currrently underr attack but need to know yourr ssituation.=^= She also checked the sensors to see if she could tell anything about the situation where the away team was.

The shields didn’t quite snap on, but they did respond after a moment when the Taychon beam was cut and not a second too early. As the Chimera was rocked aggressively from the first volley of the Orion/Pirate ship. It was a wave of disrupter fire and a second way of photon torpedoes were on the way.

The shields weren’t near at full power and the shots dropped them from the weak point where they were at to 50%. The Orion ship normally wouldn’t be close to a match for the Chimera, but now it seemed that the Chimera was at a significant disadvantage.

GM

“Give me any power we have to the shields!” yelled Tenkiller and then, without waiting, fired off the torpedo spreads. As they launched, he tried to place the quantum salvo closer to the Orion vessel than before. His original thought was to drive them off. Now his only goal was making sure they weren’t around to destroy the Chimera; even if that meant the destruction of the Orion’s ship.

Tenkiller, CoS

Heather’s fingers moved over the console with grace and experience working with Engineering to give what power they could to the shields and taking it from any non-essential systems they could find it for. “I’m giving you what I can for power to the shields,” Heather informed Tenkiller.

Heather Argeneau, CE

The lights dimmed momentarily but the shield firmed up a bit, pushing back over 60%. The Orion ship burst to full impulse swinging close then over the Chimera moving to her aft. She was forcing the Chimera to maneuver with speed. Making multiple demands from a depleted source.

As soon as the torpedoes were clear, Tenkiller sent out a security alert. =/\= All non-essential personnel move to shelter and preliminary evac positions. Security teams secure all spaces and prepare for boarding operations. =/\= He then looked at the XO and said “Ma’am, if we can get their shields down, I can take a boarding team over. We may not have the teeth we normally do, but we probably outnumber them. And if we have their ship, we have what we need to fix this one. And I doubt they’d be expecting us to take the offense in that manner.”

Tenkiller, CoS

The photon torpedoes went out in a wave, the first and second making contact but the others passing harmlessly. The Orion’s shields pulsed with each impact and explosion but their wasn’t any apparent damage. The shields dipped to 60% as well but they were recharging and the Chimera’s weren’t.

GM

OOC: The XO is actually still on the planet. Its up to us to handle this:) The CO was on the bridge but Steve hasn’t been able to post so we just need to move on. I have the XO’s go ahead for doing this.

Sheriye looked up in surprise,”A boarrding team?” She realized belatedly that she was the ranking officer on the bridge, a chill went up her spine. She wasn’t trained for combat, how was she suppose to decide something like this. She could get them all killed! “Umm, if you think that iss a viable option. Wherre is the 1sst Lieutenant? Wouldn’t sshe be good for doing that?” Sheriye new that the MACO’s were the ones to send in on such assignments.

OOC: Cross post

=/\= USS. Chimera this is Captain John Jones in a Hawk Heavy Fighter, along with the USS. Liberty, we are inbound to your location from the surface, I need all ships to focus fire on the Orion power core, if can punch a hole in their shields we can shut down their weapons. There is a small crew on the Liberty and some Marines, They won’t be able to dock so prepare to beam them aboard, =/\=

Captain John Jones
CO

Tenkiller jabbed the comms on his console. =/\= Captain. Lt. Tenkiller, Security Chief of USS Chimera. We are low on power and will do our best to assist, but don’t expect much, we are just this side of crippled.=/\= He then looked at the bridge crew and said “You heard the man. Divert all power we can to transporters and see if you can get a lock. We cant use phasers without taxing out power draw, so we will see if we can punch a hole with torpedoes.” and he plotted a firing solution for a full spread of torpedoes, aiming directly for the power core of the Orion ship. He staggered the torpedoes for half-second delays between impacts on the ship. Out loud, but to himself, he said “Let’s see how they like a few dozen sledge hammers pounding on them.” and fired the salvo, correcting the torpedoes course as the Orion ship moved.

Tenkiller, CoS

“Aye ssirr!” Sheriye said as she blinked herself out of her daze at this turn of events and attempted to get a transporter lock on the men and marines from the Liberty. Where had they come from and what were they doing here? They hadn’t been told there was any other Federation ship here.
