Mission: Session Two - Space Junk

Jan struggled with the transporter controls. The cargo transporter wasn't meant for people, and the signals were getting mixed together.

"Switching to backups....Re-energizing" Jan said to himself, separating the patterns.

The boarding party rematerialized on the pad...

"Welcome back." Jan said.

"Good to be back, what is the status of the old girl." Jones smiled Jan and tossed him a Gorn Phaser rifle that he had taken off one of the corpses. "That is for you."

"Nice, anyway, we took extensive damage, impulse engines are at 30%, warp drive is still functioning, barely. Weapons are down, main power is down again." Jan said.

"Business as usual huh. Well lets get the hell out of here, can we patch up the main power good enough to make sure we don't make a pretty explosion as soon as we hit warp?"

"I've patched in auxiliary power into the warp drive, we should be good up to warp 4, maybe a little more. Main Power is gonna take at least a week to repair, did the best I could out here, this thing wasn't meant for combat." Jan said.

Jones turned his attention to Tali and made sure he had a phaser pointed at her. "Sheila, we are going to put your friend in a holding cell until I can figure out what the hell to do with her. Tyl" Take them down to one of the holding cells for now."

Tyl grumbled and roughly grabbed the girl by the arm holding a charged dirupter right to her head. "Don't try and move, I've got a sensitive trigger finger."

T'ali spuned twisted the andorians arm with the weapon and hit him in the chest far from her strongest punch. It was more for her to seem strong and not be treated like a child.

"Your not putting me.....back in....a cell," she said sluring her words a little in her strange language and released the Andorians arm and moved close to Sheila.

"Martok, get on the weapons systems see if you can get them up so we can hold off any fighters that are still coming in till we can get the main power back up." Jones looked a Martok as he started to head into the bridge area."

"Aye Aye Captain." Martok said sarcastically as he headed over to the weapons console to properly asses the damage done and repairs needed. He looked out of the porthole and watched as the station exploded right on time. You could see the explosion start in the central core, the entire station seemed to puff up. Next the explosion moved towards the outer rings and habitat sections. Pieces were flying everywhere, several large chucks flew into a Gorn battle cruiser and destroyed it. Finally the explosion reached the outer edges of the station. The shock wave either destroyed everything near it or atleast caused severe damage.

"Oh wait, holding cells? Don't bother, there was a breach in that section, it's sealed off. Put her in a cabin." Jan said, slinging the stolen rifle onto his shoulder.

Sheila looked at Walter. "Walter, let me deal with her, I'll make sure that she doesn't bother anyone.

The ship rocked as another energy blast hit the Warden, through one of the portholes he saw Max's ship rocking through the remaining fighters and taking on the Capital ship.

"Fine.. just get her out of her before I let Tyl after her." Jones pulled himself up onto the bridge where he saw Kyle and someone else on the bridge fighting over navigation or something. "One of you get us the hell out of here."

Amber wasn't used to the controls, and seeing how keen everyone here was to fire their weapon, she backed off and let the fellow next to her resume what must have been his post. "Have at it buddy, but watch your back once I learn how to fly this bucket."

Kyle rolled his eyes. He had been this close to physically 'removing' this woman from his station, "Oh, that’s so kind of you. Thanks for the support," He said sarcastically, "Now hold on to something, this may be rough ride..."
The Warden swung round in a painfully slow arc and Kyle warmed up the warp drive "Martok, keep them off us, this is going to take a minuet."

"Aft shields are down to 30% so we can't take much damage. Phaser are back online." As he said this Martok shot Cardassian ship knocking its weapons out.

Sheila moved over closer to Tali, "Here lets get you to a room"

" Sheila, chuck her in my room, I'm going to be bogged down with repairs for awhile, I hardly use it anyway." Jan said, pulling a panel off of a bulkhead, revealing an electrical fire.

"I knew I smelled something bad!" Jan shouted, grabbing an extinguisher.

"Get that fire out before it eats through the primary thrust control!" Kyle yelled, fighting to get them into a suitable warp heading.

Jones ran back and grabbed an extinguisher and blasted the white powder directly into the bulkhead. "That doesn't look like it is going to be cheap to fix. Get us out of here now!"

"Fuck, it's too late, bypassing to secondaries." Jan said, pulling a singed cable out, and plugging it into another panel. "That should do it for now, but it won't work long." Jan said.

Jones walked over and to his station as another round of fighters started heading towards the Warden. He punched in the coordinates and listened as the old girl groaned to life, like and old woman getting out of bed in the morning, and the telltale streaks of warp could be seen out of the windows.

"Alright.... lets get back to federation space... I'm buying you all a drink."
