Mission: Session 3: Fear of the Dark
"Yeah, on 3 then." Jan said, switching from his rifle to two EM-33 pistols.
"Well why don't we just.... 3!" He started to say as he popped out from behind the bulk head and filled the corridor with phaser fire, making sure to aim near where the womans voice was coming from and filling the space with as much phaser fire as he could manage.
"Oh fuck!" Jan shouted, diving forward to the next cover spot.
Jones looked over where Jan had just dove. "You ok?"
"Yeah, close call though." Jan said.
"You, the one that just ran and hid... if you surrender we'll let you go..." The Orion woman yelled back towards Jan. "It seems silly to get vaporized." She quickly moved forward to the next bulkhead and tried to get a better firing line on Jones and the engineer. "I can offer you things that you could only dream of."
"Riight!" Jan said, sarcastically.
Jan aimed where the voice was coming from and fired his EM-33's rapidly, filling the corridor with pulse shots and sparks.
"Walt, go!" Jan shouted.
Jones leaped past the bulk head as the bolts flew from Jan's EM-33's and landed hard behind the bulkheads and kicked open the access hatch. "I'm getting to old for this shit... get in I'll make sure they don't follow."
"You'll be right behind me?" Jan said, firing one of his em-33's down the corridor as cover.
"Right behind, just as I do this." Jones started trinkering with the settings on his phaser rifle and the tell tale sound of it overloading could be heard.
"GIVE UP JONES! I TIRED OF THIS!" The orion shot another round that exploded right above Walters head.
"Get in!" Jones hurled the rifle down the corridor and almost pushed Jan down the hatch. The Orion woman's eyes grew large as she saw it come hurtling towards her. She dove behind one of the bulkheads and covered up just as the phaser exploded into a fireball of plasma and metal.
Walter dove down the hole after Jan and grabbed the hatch spinning the door closed. On the outside they could hear the sound of phasers being fired at the door. "How long do you think it will hold?"
"3, maybe 4 minutes." Jan said.
"Shit.. who the hell are these people?" Jones could see the metal starting to turn red from the phaser blasts hitting it. "Lets get the hell out of here and up to the bridge, hopefully everyone else is in a better position then we are at the moment."
"Yeah, right." Jan said.
"We can get access to the bridge just up ahead." Jan said, crawling down the service crawl-way.
"Put this on the repair list, junction 234 crossbeam alpha 7." Jones said as he stopped pointed his phaser at one of the cross sections and severed the large piece of metal, falling down across the crawl-way behind them and blocking the junction..
"Right." Jan said.
Jones reached into his coat for a communicator band. "This is Walter, anyone that can hear me get to the bridge, Jan and I are heading there now." He put it back into his coat and yelled up to Jan. "Hopefully we aren't the only ones left and I didn't just tell that woman where we were headed."
"Yeah, I'll try the internal sensors when we get to the bridge." Jan said.

After a few moments the Orion Woman opened the hatch and jumped down the access tunnel. She carefully slipped into the access crawl-way and started to crawl after her prey, a look of determination filled her eyes as she got closer to her prize. After a few moments she reached the blockage and scowled. "Team 1 and 2, meet back in Engineering and regroup." She scowled and headed back towards Engineering.
