Joint Logs by Myth and Nouri
Title: Red Alert! Part One
Setting: USS Eagle
Time: During the attack by the Orions
Location: Ensign Petrescu's quarters
When the red alert klaxon
went off, Leah had turned to run out the door on instinct. But she'd just
been relieved of duty-there was no post to man. So she'd stood there watching
Hanson join the stream of other crew mates heading off. It was going to be
a boring and lonely day. When Commander Unstoffe came on over the intra-ship
comm. system asking any free personnel to assist with intruders on Deck Two
she figured she had a free pass to ignore his order to stay in her quarters.
With a gleeful grin she'd grabbed a trusted phaser and headed for the nearest
turbo lift.
Now she was
on Deck Two. Leah turned toward the sound of phaser fire and headed that
way. She'd already checked the setting of her own phaser twice on the turbo
lift.
As she did so,
the intruders exited the spy's quarters and moved down corridor backing away
from Midshipman Zander Rockwell and his team.
Leah paused
in her approach, listening to the sound of footsteps carefully.
She wasn't sure
which way they were headed and she didn't want to find out unexpectedly either.
Leah moved ever
closer to the phaser fight, careful to move quietly lest a misstep betray
her presence. She kept a steady eye on the corridor ahead, ready to fire
at anyone that came into view. Provided of course they weren't in Federation
uniform!
BOOM! SKEER-EEE!
CLUNK! Chalandra and kids turned around, startled by the noises. They saw
two men with weapons and screamed as they burst into the room.
The two burly
Orions paused unexpectedly, surprised at a woman and children who were clearly
civilians. The third remained outside engaged in a fire fight with MIDN Rockwell's
security team.
Chalandra took
quick advantage of their momentary confusion, scooping up two of the smallest
children and motioned for the others to go into the back rooms. She moved
fast and barked out orders to the children even faster. Two of the older
children ran quickly into the next room. Chalandra counted at least three
men as she stood there with a child under each arm. Two men were with her
now and at least one other must be firing the weapon she heard in the background
at someone else with a phaser. There could be more she worried.
"Just some rotten
kids," one of the men said to the other. He growled menacingly at the remaining
family members.
"Kids on a starship?"
the other asked in disbelief.
Chalandra was
afraid to move, less than would help embolden the men to enter the room more
quickly. She wanted to gain time for the other children to make it safely
away. She looked at open door, searching for some clue as to how to best
handle this.
Leah heard the
yelling from her position in the hall and rushed towards the source. That
wasn't a fellow officer-that was a family; with plenty of frightened kids
from the sound of it.
Leah followed
the corridor around a slight bend and spotted an open door. The sounds were
definitely coming form inside it. She crept to the edge, peering in and careful
to keep out of the line of fire for anyone inside the room.
Leah caught
Chalandra's glance and quickly held a finger to her lips in a silencing gesture.
It would be easier to take care of these bozos if they didn't realize she
was behind them.
Chalandra saw
Leah and her signal and did not react. She recalled the young woman from
a reception and that saw that her uniform had a gray collar and sleeves.
Security. ~~This is good very good,~~ she thought keeping her face
and mannerisms unchanged.
Chalandra spoke
to intruders to help distract them slightly. "What do you want?" she asked,
picking the obvious most natural question.
"The man from
the station in the quarters near yours! Where did he go?" one of the boarders
asked gruffly waving his weapon menacingly.
Leah took aim
on the intruder furthest form Chalandra and the kiddies, then she fired switching
to the second target even as the first one was hit.
As one of the
boarders hit the deck, Chalandra sprinted with kids under each arm to kitchen.
She quickly tossed out the contents in a lower cabinet and stuffed the kids
in. "Stay," she ordered. She slowly got up and turned around looking for
a weapon or something to deflect the fire.
VERREEEEP! An
alarm beeped on a wrist comm belonging to one of the Orions. "Okay, time
to go!" he yelled.
The third man,
who was providing covering fire, replied, "Okay, get clear."
SHIMMER!
The inert Orion and two standing ones disappeared quickly in the beam out
back to their waiting ship.
