Knucklebiter hit his badge.
"All down, severe damge to number 3 and 7, advise to
stay offline till repaired. Radiation nominal.
Otherwise A-ohh-kayy here."
Shevab answered { All green here, starting reactors in
30 seconds. Brace for vibration as spacedoors opening
in 5 seconds. Need you to Main Engineering for damage
co-ordination assesment.}
"On my way." he replied "with a couple of guests." as
he eyed the pair of captured creatures as they peered
at him from inside thier improvised cage.
**************************************************
The station's klaxon's sounded amd was followed by an
announcement;
"Attention. Attention. Brace for vibration. Space
doors opening in 5 seconds,,4 seconds,,3 seconds,,2
seconds,,NOW!"
The station bucked a bit but not enough to cause
anyone to fall and was still again.
{Lt Shevab to Commander Renaud} said his comm badge..

{Space doors are open. We will have 92% power in 2
minutes. All systems will be reintergrated and running

Shortly after the klaxon's sounded again, followed by
an another announcement.
"Attention. Attention. Standing down from Red Alert.
Gravity will commence in 10 seconds. Life Support in
10 seconds. Repeat, gravity in 5 seconds,, 4 seconds,,
3 seconds,, 2 seconds,, NOW. Gravity and Life support
now active."
The lights went up throughout the station, and feet
gently went down to the floors as cheers rang out
through the Promenade and other areas.
***************************************************
Knucklebiter entered Enginering and Shevab's
workspace, who seemed to be having a hard time
retracting his tendrils from the interfaces..
The Ursoid put his paw around one and jerking back as
he was burned by the heat, the Horta had been
interfaced way too deep and long in the Station
system.
Grabbing his thermal gloves from his belt, he gently
retracted the remaining tendrils and grunted as he
lifted his friend a few feet over on the ramp.
"You still with me big guy?" asked Knucklebiter.
His partially melted translator/comm badge replied in
a low voice, {I never thought this place would be such
an ache in my primary nodes..}
Knucklebiter roared with laughter, knowing that most
of a Horta's primaries were located in thier back end,
making his statement similar to a 'pain in the rear'..
"yeah, and it's only our first day,,"
=====
It's not wether you are paranoid, but wether you are paranoid enough."
"Lord?, I did not go to Evil Laurel School for seven years to be called 'Lord'!"
It's all fun and games till someone loses an eye, then it becomes an Art/Sci project...
You think I'm a tough Master? Mine was disappointed when I ONLY got 2nd degree burns...
