A partial success, just like with your first action
Feb 21, 2019 5:49 pm
Malbo enters the bridge after a short march through the halls and corridors, tending to anybody who was injured from the fire.

He steps through the doors without asking permission to step on the bridge. Not out of defiance, but out of urgency, and begins passing his medical scanner over each and every crew member, talking mostly to himself as he reads the data.

He eventually reaches an injured crewman, and stops, placing his scanner o the console and pulling some medicated patches designed to alleviate impact pains and minor injuries.

"Minor fractures in left rib. Tetramorphine 200 milligram patch. Good for pain. Suggests rest, possibly X-ray." he says aloud, yet still seemingly to himself. As he finishes applying the patch to Ensign Davis, he looks up and around himself, taking a moment to examine his surroundings and realizing he had entered the bridge. He turns to the acting captain and asks "Commander, permission to enter bridge?".

OOC:
Davis is not on the bridge. He's in engineering. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear. However, I'm sure you can find someone with comparable injuries to treat on the bridge as well.

Ah sorry, i thought that was who took over for M1-K3 at the security console. Ill rename the person to something that would fit general crew.

Moira rolls her eyes. Never a good sign when the cap'n doesn't reply.

She sees Davis's hands and replies rudely, trying to cover up that his injury actually startled her.

Well, yeh sure as the violet sun aren't any use to me here! Git!

She takes a moment to compose herself. She hates the thought of sacrificing a team member, but if the alternative is losing the entire crew?
She leaps onto a table. Well, hops. Her husky frame results in a startling "THWUMP."

Oi! Leak in tha coolant line in sobsection 5! We need someone brave ta go plug it up, or we'll lose tha entire ship!

She gins widely with her go-to mix of motherly pride and pure insanity.

An' I can personally guarantee yeh that you'll either get a week a' leave and a bottle o' yer choice, or I'll personally recommend yeh for the Void Medal 'a Honor. Ye'll be a hero either way!

A posthumous award. She was hoping in the chaos nobody would remember that.
OOC:
I'll roll Feelings to convince someone to go. She gathered her thoughts and is known for being nuts, but if that doesn't count as Expert, please drop the last roll.

....good gracious XD

Rolls

Feelings - Incite courage - (3d6)

(132) = 6

OOC:
Moira, that's a Laser Feeling, so you can ask a question and then choose to change your previours action if you want to. As is, the roll would be a failure.

OOC:
Phew. Okay, well, Not sure if this is too specific, but, based on the bloops and bleeps happening, is this a normal break, or can I tell if
I need my special tool kit for it? I may switch to going myself if it's bad.

Laser Feeling - The breach is nothing quite out of the ordinary. It's slightly dangerous to do the repairs manually while the ship is running but unless the ship gets hit very hard while you're working on it, you don't expect any further complications.
OOC:
I don't know what Cass' final choice is about staying in the fight or retreating but if she chooses to retreat, you should be safe to repair the leak
Feb 21, 2019 6:20 pm
OOC:
FYI, the "captain" isn't answering because, technically, none of this other stuff has happened yet for her. ;)

I'm sticking with my original action and hoping for the best. Returning fire on the Sigma and leaving the system at warp 3.

OOC:
Okay, I'm going to sort some of the happenings in this post because the timeline got a bit confusing.
The Potential's phasers hit the Sigma directly, draining their shields a lot, but not completely. Almost at the same time, the Potential gets hit by two phaser beams, dropping its shields to 40% and causing a leak in the coolant. Ensign Davis gets blasted by his exploding console and sent to sickbay by RC. Dr Zlam arrives at the bridge and starts treating injured crewmen there.

Cass gives the order to retreat out of the system. Lt. Mezron sets a course and you enter Warp 3.

Moira, since the combat is over, it should be safe to fix the leak now.

Away team, you lose contact to the Potential [Cass, did you explain the situation to them beforehand?]
OOC:
Sorry for the messy post. It's my fault for forgetting that Laser Feeling allows to change your action. Won't happen again.

Honestly with laser feelings changing your rolls it can make some of the previous posts very confusing. I think we should start editing posts that we choose to change using laser feelings. Even if that means just putting a [LF] at the front of the post or something.

OOC:
Yes, thanks for mentioning that. I had intended to have Cass tell them they were leaving the system and to submit to capture if it came to it. (She made a point of saying that so that M1 wouldn't get the away team killed making a last stand.)

OOC:
The problem was that I had already continued the plot and others jumped on that before the change was decided so that led to some posts out of continuity. Overall, I would say not much has changed. Just the order of actions had to be adjusted a bit.

I think that will be about it for the first chapter. You can keep going with some character interactions here for now and I want to do a bit more with the away team before closing this thread and then I think I'm going to start off the second chapter in two separate threads, one for the crew on the Potential, the other for the away team - just for clarity
Feb 21, 2019 7:04 pm
OOC:
Two threads sounds like a good idea. Will we all be able to see both of them? i dont want to metagame but i wanna know what happens with the away team! I feel bad abandoning them haha.

You feel bad - at least you didn't make the decision to leave them behind! :D

It was a good call for crew preservation as a captain, but as a person its awfully cold hearted. Its one of those "The lives of the many outweigh the lives of the few" moral problems.

Away team, you receive a message from Commander Cassano, explaining the situation and ordering you to submit to capture if necessary. Then, your connection breaks and you are alone on the ship: M1, Zephyr, two human security officers, Ensign Debra Myers and Lt. Eric Felt, and the pale man. You also remember that according to your scanners, there were supposed to be five more life forms on board the ship but you haven't seen them yet.

M1, you're still holding the pale man. He has stopped resisting for now but he is not talking to you either. The ship is still steadily vibrating as it is being moved by the transporter beam.

That's a good question. I don't know if I can make threads visible to only some players and not to others. It might be interesting not to know what's happening to the others but I can also understand being curious.

I mean, we could have just an honor code system that we wont peek until after we reunite and can see what all happens.
