The deck was crewed consistent with the correct number of staff on at this period of time. The number of active crew was lessened by injuries and again by people tending to those injuries. However when Eleanor called a few crew turned to respond to her. “What’cha need Captain?”

“Anyone available…” Carnegie said, now starting to put the tie downs on her ship. “I need you to start placing magnetic tie downs on each of the birds. It will buy us some time until we can find a way of getting more power to the stasis fields. Otherwise, our birds will be toast. And I’m sure neither the CAG or the fleeters are going to be happy about it.” She paused for a moment as she finished the job on the Ranger-class vessel. “Also, how many injured do we have on deck?”

“Is everyone alright?” Kate called out as her team forced the door to the flight deck open. As it finally opened up far enough, the two scouts were through the door and did a quick sweep of the immediate area.

“This is Captain Hawkins. Is anyone hurt?”

The closest crew member laughed. “Everyone is hurt sir… everyone.” The injuries varied in type and magnitude. What both helped and hurt was the general space in the launch bay. The crew members often didn’t hit anything since there was tons of space, conversely there a lot of space gain velocity and hit something.

Turning around, she looked back at team as they made their way onto the flight deck. “Comm’s, radio HQ and advise them that we’ve reached the flight deck.”

Carnegie turned around at the sound of the door being forced open, and then at the newcomers’ voice. “Captain Hawkins.” There was a slight note of relief in her tone, but it disappeared almost immediately. Approaching the woman, she spoke firmly. “I’m Captain Carnegie. Recon. There are injured members on deck but I still haven’t managed to get a number. In fact, we are very much isolated in here. Power is not going to hold the stasis fields for long and we are trying to place magnetic tie downs on as many birds as we can, or they will take flight if we don’t.” She paused for a moment to catch her breath. “We have been very much isolated in here. I feel that there’s been some miscommunication between us, the CAG, and Flight Ops. What is happening?”

“We are still trying to figure it out Captain. Power is wonky all over the ship, with a lot of sections cut off from one another. We only managed to cut through the interference on comms, because we broke out our field gear. I’ve got Charlie and Delta squads with me here though. I sent Alpha squad to the ready rooms, and Beta squad is heading for the maintenance bays.”

Kate turned back towards her men, “Charlie Squad, start checking out the injured. See who is the worst, and get them prepped to be moved if needed. Delta, lend these flyboys a hand strapping their birds to the deck. The last thing we need is one flying right at us.”

=^= CIC to Captain Hawkins. SitRep requested. What is your status on spreading out on captured decks? Have you penetrated engineering or gained engineers to assist you? CIC over. =^=
Corporal Gettinger

Ellie nodded in acknowledgement to Hawkins’s words before the commcall came through from the CIC. She stood silently, listening to what was going on.

Kate started motioning for the handset when she turned at the sound of claws hitting the deck.

Suddenly the sound of claws on decking was heard as two female Caitian’s came running down the corridor on all fours, claws out to give them traction. As they neared the two rose again to show that they were the Rear Admiral and Chief Science Officer.
“Status?” M’Ressa called out as she approached the group.

Kate snapped to attention and saluted the Admiral. “Ma’am. Charlie and Delta squad just arrived here on the flight deck with me. Alpha squad is headed to the ready rooms, and Beta squad is headed for the maintenance bays. We were just getting a status update when you arrived.”

Carnegie had seen both Catians in passing before but she had never truly interacted with them. Especially with the Admiral. Just like Hawkins, she stood at attention the moment the Admiral stopped in front of them, but said nothing.

“Excellent. Inform the Commander that his Chief Science Officer and I have made it down here too. Are any of the shuttles flyable? The Commander has ordered the Lieutenant and I to get out there and get a look at the situation and get some readings.”

A look at the situation and get some readings? The words immediately imprinted in Eleanor’s mind as an idea lit up in her brain.

Only a few craft were damaged to a degree that they were inoperable, so the Admiral would have no problem finding a shuttle that was able to be launched. As they crews continued to prep… however, they would note that the both the force fields and the metal hatches were down across the launch tubes.

GM

“Yes Ma’am. Though I’m not sure if we have launching capabilities at this moment. Captain,” Kate said as she turned towards Carnegie. Nodding to the Admiral she stepped to the side and accepted the radio handset from the Corporal.

=^= CIC, Captain Hawkins here. We just hit the flight deck, I have squads securing the maintenance level and flight ready rooms. Additionally the Admiral just arrived. She is inquiring about launching a shuttle with the flight crew. =^=

Turning to the Admiral, Eleanor cleared her throat following Hawkins response. “Ma’am… if I may…” She said with a quick salute to the Catian. “… I am a bit at a loss as to what is going on outside this deck but… I lead Wing 399’s Reconnaissance Squad. My ship has a state-of-the-art sensor suite, better than anything you will find in any fleeter–” Carnegie’s cheeks flushed slightly as she tried to stop the word from leaving her lips before it was too late, to no avail. “Uh… in any Starfleet shuttle.” The proud smile that formed on her lips was inevitable, as she motioned to the Ranger-class vessel with the words ‘Lady of Steel’ painted in large yellow letters on its side. “Let me take you out on my ship. That way, not only can you and the Lieutenant have full access to my sensors, as you’ll be behind a better defense system than any shuttle can offer.”

Cpt. Carnegie, Recon Squad CO

M’Ressa looked toward the Captain’s moored ship and then her eyes swept over the Starfleet shuttles before she made a snap decision.”Fine. Let’s just get out there.” She said with a quick nod. Grabbing Sheriye’s arm she headed toward the indicated ship.”You fly.” She said to Carnegie,”Since it’s your ship.”

Sheriye in her stead just followed her granddam along, when they older Caitian was in this mood there was no gainsaying her. She was in her most take charge mode and no injuries or Ensign’s better get in her way.
