A lost cruiser

[Goliath]

Hans stared at the Neumann for a good few seconds before turning his sight at the top monitors which were setting off alarms in the fuel storage section of the Donau, as well as the reactor still giving no feedback, not even a sign of life or any possible damage that it may have suffered. To him, the reactor might be exposed, and since the same room it was in might have been depressurized as well, MOX leakage might have occured. "Neumann, we cannot let you come that close. Right now we have the situation under control inside the ship. However, what we do not have under control is what happens outside of it. We are receiving warnings from fuel tanks One to Three, and the reactor is still in an unknown state. As such, I advise seeing to the reactor and fuel tanks. We need this ship to be able to move before any hostiles find us, or else there won't be anything to save!" said the commander with a worried tone as he glanced outside the window at the engine spilling out traces of Mox, then looks back at the radio operator's screen. "I advise sending a team to seal the exterior of the ship so that we can access other parts of the Helgoland, especially the engine room. One of the Wraiths will light your way. Once you are done, we will be able to take you in."

Only moments after Hans finished his last sentence, a private rushed in the control room, rifle at hand, speaking with a stuttery accent and taking pauses every now and then to breathe. "S-s-sir! We managed t-to seal every hull breach we could from the inside, b-b-but Leon's detachment reports that there are about 5 engineers stuck in the reactor room. Situation seems stable, but they're stuck in there with limited oxygen until the exterior hull breaches are sealed properly.

Hans wastes no time, and tells the private to round up the wounded and direct them towards the hallway between the medical bay and kitchen, then turns back at the radio operator's screen, realizing he was still pressing on the transmission button.

"I...believe you did hear that."
