Things were not looking good, as though the last self rescue mission was hardly a walk in the park either. Sutret could see more on the engineering side. One of the three impulse engines looked functional. Two were in the yellow damaged zone and one was blaringly red. All he could see was that deuterium was igniting and streaming out from Engine 2. The warp drive was online but not engaged.

The problem that was most concerning, however, was that there were temperature alarms in the proximity to and decks around Impulse engine 2. That meant a fire was spreading. Automatic suppression systems were .. not automatically engaging in most regions. Structural integrity was being challenged, which was only made worse from the previous ‘mission’ that had strained such systems to the limit.

OOC: Pasting in from the bridge ..
^=Looks like an impulse engine is malfunctioning, can you kill it from down there?=^=
CO

OOC: Crossposted from the bridge.

IC:

As the spinning slowly slowed, another call from the bridge came in.

=^=Andreassen to engineering, I’m going to want a damage report as soon as you’ve assessed everything,=^= She spoke, =^=If we can spare it, I’d also like a bit more power to the thrusters to help stabilize us and keep us limping toward the Starbase.=^=

~Freja Andreassen~

=^= Working on it Captain. We are having computer issues though, which is giving us issues in running the diagnostics. But I’ll get the ship back. =^=

Koria said as she was already walking through main engineering towards the large status board. Looking over the status board she cursed.

=^= Damage control teams to impulse engine 2, now! We’ve got rising temperatures, and fire suppression systems are not kicking in.=^=

=^= Barrows here. Team is suiting up now. =^= came the reply from a damage control team. =^= What are we walking into? =^= He inquired.

“Kill the deuterium feed to engine 2 now! And prepare to vent the compartments, just in case.”

Koria just hoped that even without the computer, they would be able to cut the fuel feed.

“I’m .. not getting any readings from the deuterium feeds,” came the reply after some tapping, then some more. “There are a lot of offline sensors in that area. I can’t even tell if I have an engine 2 right now.” He tapped some more. “I have no remote controls for venting in two of the three sections that show temperature changes. Damage Control may have to do that manually.”

Koria cursed. =^= Barrows, we’ve lost computer control in the area. We’ve got rising temperatures, and automatic fire suppression is not kicking in. Structural integrity is not looking good. We are going to try and cut the fuel feeds, but be prepared to vent atmosphere manually in that section to put out the fires. =^=

“Alright, we are going to have to cut the fuel fees manually. Go,” she said to the engineer. “I’m going to try and restore computer control from here. And let’s get a DC team ready to dump the fuel reserves as a last resort.”

Koria’s fingers started flying over the console, trying to find any power they might have left to restore computer control.

Lt Sutret - CE

Koria slammed her fists down on the console, this was not working. “We are running out of time!”

Running over to the workbench, she grabbed her toolkit. “I’m going down to the fuel controls to try and cut the fuel feed. Have DC team 3 meet me there.”

Heading for one of the DC lockers, she grabbed a fire jacket and a respirator, just in case. Tucking the jacket under her arm, she took off at a run for the turbolift.

Lt Sutret - CE

Sutret found that the turbolift would not take her to her desired deck. =^= Warning. Override command required to move to requested deck. PPE required. Requested deck is atmosphere compromised. =^= A quick check on that would note that it did not mean decompression but that the air quality was not good.

Not good, Koria thought to herself. Bringing up the diagnostics for the deck, she was thankful that it was just a bad air quality alert, and not decompressed. Hopefully the hull would hold until they could get the fire under control.

Meanwhile .. =^= Barrows to Sutret. We are approaching Zone 12. Temperatures are high and scans show plasma and conventional fires ahead. We’re accessing fire control now. =^=

• Wookiee

=^=Acknowledged Barrows. I’m on my way to the fuel controls. Try to keep the temperatures under control while I cut the fuel. If needed, evacuate the section, close the emergency bulkheads and vent the atmosphere. =^=

Koria said as she pulled on the fire jacket she had brought. Pulling out the respirator, she pulled it on and quickly tested the seal. With the seal good, it was time to get going.

“Command override. Sutret Alpha Two Gamma. “

Lt Sutret - CE

=^= Authorization confirmed. =^= the computer said simply. A moment later it moved, settling quickly to the deck in question.

When the doors opened the corridor was smoky and the air warm. A layer of smoke slowly billowed about cutting the deck horizontally. Though it was only more opaque toward the ceiling, and Sutret could see to plow through it, it was not a good sign. She began to sweat in the hot air.
