Babylon 5: Outrageous Fortune

Kirth Warren

When the explosion occurs, Kirth is not as stoic as the noble Ashley.
"Arlkajfizboomldkfjnsdfk!!" <-notice the blue streak

Recovering his composure, Kirth takes his assigned post. "Ops aye, Cap'n!"

 

[Vertexx69]

Croft finds himself on the floor where the explosion unceremoniously dumped him, but his eyebrow is no longer cocked wryly. He is very quiet as the time for quips has now been officially canceled.

 

[Blackrat]

Already sitting down Sarhat gets his composure back quickly and punches a few controls. That was curious. That shouldn't have even happened. The engines have not been used in a while but they shouldn't deteriote that badly. I would guess that whatever stole the Fortune rigged them up. If you are going to roam around, take care, there might be something else rigged to blow. He starts working the controls, trying to compensate for the lack of fine manouvers and to intercept the Fortune as fast as possible.

The bridge of the Markab ship is arranged in a circle around the hatchway to the core corridor. Since it is in the zero-gravity section, the stations are situated such that the realtive positions of the users are as if they are lying in a circle around the hatchway, with a 360 degree circuit. Sarhat, Kirth and Cheshana strap themselves into the relevant stations. The Ensorrians hang on to the closest station, a back-up sensor control.

Sarhat sets in the commands for turning the huge ship. There are no further explosions but there are groans of protest and shudders in the superstructure as she flips on her access. The gas giant shifts out of view and its blue light fades from the bridge.

The main engines give a kick of power, and the Lashaiaj begins to head towards the Fortune, and the jump gate. The ship's navigational computer projects that you should reach the Fortune before she reaches the jumpgate, assuming both ships are maintain their current thrust.

Ashley and Croft have a lot of ship to search. There is the central core, with the engineering for the main thrusters at the stern. There are three passenger sections, with the engineering for the maneuvre drives at the stern. One of the passenger sections is supposedly where Cheshana's artifact still lies. Where do you want to start?

Croft looks out at the debris floating away from the ship with unabashed horror at the thought of trapsing through an unknown ship with a brand new hole in some random location he might find accidentally and doesn't move. "Um what does that computer say about where our brand new screen door is?"

 

[Shayuri]

"I'm sure the damaged sections get sealed off," Ashley assures Croft. "I don't hear any decompression alarms. Come on, we should secure engineering first...then work our way through the passenger sections."

 

[Vertexx69]

Taking comfort from the pretty human teep, the adolescent Centari gets up off the ground. "Maybe we could find a couple more of those space suits before we go poking around in a damaged alien ship?"

 

[Dr Simon]

Cheshana calls up an image of the ship on the computer screen.

"Damaged section here," he says, pointing to one of the drive areas at the rear of one of the side sections. "Computer says area sealed, here." He points out the adjacent rooms, highlighted on the screen in red. He points to some indicators on Kirth's console. "Air pressure in ship safe," he adds.

There are some more Markab-style space suits in a locker just aft of the bridge.

Kirth Warren

"Are you telling me that we should remove our suits? And expose ourselves to whatever it was that wiped out the crew of this vessel? No, thanks! I'd rather breathe this bottled air for ten years!"

 

[Vertexx69]

Croft goes to the indicated aft sect section of the bridge to locate the extra suits. If he finds them in good repair he will start slinking into one without delay.
