STRANGE SITING AND INVESTIGATION (CONTINUED)......
IDENTIFICATION PROTOCOL : OFFICIAL LOG .....Commander Darius Marin.....
Darius awoke with a start "uuuughhhh"......."What the hell .....ahhhhhhh slept well i think........?"
Darius had been woken by the crew hard at work trying to get more systems back online he had slept well he realised it was 11.45 AM and he had really overslept and rushed to get a shower and straight to the control room as he approached the control room the doors opened verifying the door detectors were finally working......
Marin : "Wow boys your'e all hard at work i see"
Comms chief : "Aye aye we are that sir...."
Marin : " So boys what state is the station actually in then"
Comms chief : "Well sir Radar operator Logan is try........"
Comms chief was rudely interupted by a loud claxon and alarm bells ringing all control room doors sealed shut with a *SLAM*.
The crew were now trapped in the control room.
Marin : "Jeeeeeze Logan what the hell just happened".
Logan : " I am not sure commander but half the circuit boards under the main control panel have been fried by a short circuit by the looks and the station has gone on lock down reacting to a breach"
Marin : " My god boys we seem to be trapped now,Chief can we see if we can salvage anything to bring something online"
Comms chief : "Aye ...sir we can only try"
Darius sat in the command chair and started to think again *this new home that i hoped for is maybe just not going to be as i hoped*
As Darius sat the crew prodeeded to try and open the control room doors manually which did not seem to be doing much good.
Eventually all the alarms stopped but the red light were giving Darius a headache and making him feel sick ....
Darius reached in his pocket to pop a pill and proceeded to sit eyes shut in the command chair.
After a few minutes the crew found a way possibly to fix the problem.
Comms chief :" Sir.........sir......."
Marin : "Oh....oh ..yes chief"
Comms chief : "sorry ...sir thought you were awake ........ Ok the main panel is fried so we have established the controls for the docking bay can be re routed to the main panel and we can get power back to normal ....... but there is one problem...
Marin : " what's that chief"
Comms chief:" Once we get things running and the doors open we will have to strip circuit boards form the Marauder ....."
*Darius rudely interupted the chief*
Marin : " WHAT ..... youre going to strip the ship ive just had refitted...."
Comms chief : " Sir......If...........if there was another way i would do it ......but we will need to do this to get the station stable ....the life support is starting to fluctuate in and out of functioning properly and we dont have enough power to relaunch the Marauder anyway "
Marin : "My god its worse than i thought.......Ok chief do we have power to comms on board the base to contact Freeport 10.........."
Comms chief : "we do have comms sir and we will need new supplies from Freeport 10 ....but for now i think we should continue to secure the base with our contingency plan and strip the marauder then get her refitted by Freeport 10 ......they should be able to tow her there for it"
Marin : "ok chief make the arrangements to strip the Marauder and get this station operational as best you can "
Comms chief : "Aye...sir .....right boys lets get cracking"
All crew : "Aye aye chief"
Darius sat in the command chair and *SIGHED* he could not believe the luck they were having seeing as he had his mind set on taking over the installation seeing as the crew who were here and possibly the Commander of the station had all been killed.
So Darius contemplated the situation and sat thinking for a while and made himself aware that stripping the Marauder to save the crew and also his life and bring the station back online was the best thing to do.
In the meantime all seems well and the crew are making good progress stripping the Marauder and bringing panel after panel into the control room and one at a time reconnecting the most essential controls.
After about 4 hours of hard work the crew announced.
Comms chief : "Sir ..... We now have full scanner capability......full communication array functioning......all base doors are stabilised properly and the crew can move freely"
Marin : " Ok ....Chief ....And what state is the Marauder in"
Comms chief : " its bad sir we dont have ...engines...comms.....life support ......or lights"
Marin : "Just ....great.......thanks chief"
Darius sat back down and the crew carried on stabilising the base as he sat he contemplated the idea of asking Freeport 10 for help towing the Marauder back for repairs .......but obviously that is the last thing to be done until the base is fully secure and operational.
Marin : "Boys .....youv'e worked well today and deserved a well earned drink get stocks of Rhien beer from the Marauder and lets chill till tomorrow and continue with repairs"
