Jack slid down the rail and came to a stop at the bottom of the junction
which would lead him to Main Engineering. His thoughts drifted slightly
towards Lieutenant Scott, he wasn't surprised that Scott had probably
got himself killed, the guy clearly had a chip on his shoulder in Jacks
opinion. Whatever, he never liked the guy anyway, and he was fresh off
the boat, he wouldn't me missed.
Prising the door open Jack took a few deep breaths and turned the light
off on his rifle, the corridor outside was dark bar the slight
luminescence of the emergency lighting. From his best guess, due to his
former engineering background, he'd say that Warp and Impulse engines
were offline, the ship was running on backup generators which were
keeping life support and all essential systems up and running. Anything
non essential like replicators, turbolifts and dancing robots wouldn't
be working.
Keeping low he shuffled quickly out into the corridor and hugged the
wall. Engineering was just up ahead, and he hoped that some of his men
were there to meet him, considering he'd just climbed down from the
bridge it should have given some of his unit enough time to make it to
Engineering.
He rounded the corner, and immediately saw the shine of phaser rifle
lights. Smirking to himself he slipped up towards his guys who had taken
up residence hugging the walls adjacent to Main Engineering.
"Would you care to turn the lights off lads, every damn X'Chi in the
vicinity is going to be attracted to that light." Jack muttered.
"Major!" 4 rifles immediately became trained on him.
"And get that Rifle out of my face Corporal Cortez!" Jack slapped the
muzzle down towards the floor. "Report" Jack said as he took stock of
who was around, Lynch, Ra'nar, Cortez, Jacobson, Andrews, Morrison,
Pateli, Carlson and Jones. He was about to ask where the hell Williams
thought he was, but then he remembered that his #3 had met his untimely
fate earlier.
"We just arrived Sir, everything is down, I haven't sent out a scout
party yet."
"We'll I think its safe to say they're in Engineering." Jack said as he
crouched down and signalled everyone to gather round.
"Cortez, take Lynch and 3 others, go up a deck and access Engineering
from the upper level, Ra'nar and I will go in the front way and draw
their fire. Assume that everyone in there is dead, Lynch is our best bet
for getting the Engines up and running, once he has set up a forcefield
around the warp core incase we all die" Jack smirked.
"Aye Sir" Cortez said as he pointed to 3 other members and signalled
that they were with him.
"Shoot anything that moves....unless its in a yellow collar"
