Kate tapped the comm unit, they weren’t getting any response. Figures, now that they finally got somewhere, the comms would stop working. She tossed it back to the comm officer.

“Alright, let’s keep moving. Until we can get a hold of CIC, we keep clearing the decks. Hope we still have some explosives,” she said with a chuckle. “Private Jones! You’re on runner detail. Hightail it back to CIC and see if you can figure out what they want us to do.”

With a sharp salute the Private was off.

“Alright, Alpha Company, let’s move out! First squad, find us a way up to the next deck.”

OOC: Okay, here’s the question though. They company made good progress as they were blowing holes in the decks.. up and down. At this point since communication has been established throughout the majority of the ship are they still just punching huge holes in the ship?

GM

OOC: If I missed a post for CIC, sorry! Let’s retcon this as Alpha Company should be heading toward the computer core and securing it so that some engineering folks can get there and figure out what the heck is going on.

Sarah

OOC: Well, didn’t figure they were ‘huge’ .. not thought of them any more than a somewhat rough Jeffries tube. Given the supposition that they’d work to find as many natural ways through without overbearing blasting, I’d not think they were creating a mass of ant holes. .. Gene

OOC: We’ll try to keep the holes small!

IC:
“Captain, according to the deck layout the computer core is just ahead.”

“Thank you Sergeant. Let’s try not to make to big of a hole this time, I think the squids are starting to take offense. Maybe that’s why they keep giving us the silent treatment,” she said with a chuckle.

By the time she had made it to the hatch to the lowest level of the computer core, 1st Squad had already started working at it.

“Alright, let’s try not to blow this one, or they might space us. There should be a manual override nearby.”

They haven’t had to make to many hole horizontally, the marines movements were more like a team going through a maze… avoiding force field here by going down a deck then across and sometimes back up. While they did have to blow a hole in (roughly) every other deck they were doing their best only to cause structural damage when they had to.

The doors in front of the computer core were secured by independently powered force fields and by a security pressure door. Both could be opened by a high enough security clearance. None of the marines were cleared to open doors of this level of security. On the other hand, at this point they could access the touch screen outside the computer core that should theoretically have virtually direct access to the main system.

GM

“I’m not finding any override Cap,” one of the sergeants said from next to the wall. “All I’m seeing is one mighty impenetrable door, unless you want us to try and blow it.”

Kate muttered under her breath. That was definitely one way to get people coming down on them.

“Where is the compsec specialist? And let’s get CIC on the horn.”

As the word was passed back for the specialist, the private holding the comm came forward and handed her the handset.

=^= Alpha Company to Chimera Actual. Come back. =^=

A tech came up with a hardened multipurpose PaDD… He clipped to touch pads to the screen and a series of numbers started scrolling down. “I can do a brute force override of the doors.” He watched the numbers roll by. “It will take 14 days.”

GM

Kate laughed, they definitely did not have 14 days. “I really don’t think we have 14 days. How long to cut through the door?”
