USS Sharikahr Mission #365
Space, the final frontier...These are the adventures of the USS Sharikahr in her continuing mission to bring peace where conflicts may arise, to explore new worlds untouched by the eyes of men, and to brave the darkness of the last vast, unknown.
Last mission the Sharikahr and the task force assembled managed to open a vent in the moon's mantle and they released the pressure building up inside the satellite, thus preventing it from exploding.
However that same pressure shot in space the core of the material occluding the vent, just like an archaic black powder gun would have shot a projectile in the old times. And this time the projectile is a dense iron ball 15 kilometers in diameter moving at the incredible speed (for an asteroid) of 2000 km per second.
Size and speed are such that in case of impact, the asteroid will wipe out almost every life form on the planet. Only some bacteria may survive.
Now the Sharikahr is about to begin the pursuit of the rogue asteroid, yet after the previous efforts the ship is seriously patched up and no one knows for how long the skilled but hurried jury rigging will hold.
Time is running out, it is the moment of choices if the crew wants to save the planet once again.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Standing at the science station, working with the duty officer ::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::smirks:: CTO: God forbid we have an easy time of it.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
XO: The rest of the fleet is 3 AUs away ma'am. Estimated time to catch up to us is 100 minutes.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
::is visibly frustrated at the lack of progress she's making on trajectory analysis::
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
::on a biobed in sickbay, thinking that if he stays on it any longer, it might as well have his name on it::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
XO: ::smirks back to her:: And then you'd be complaining of boredom.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<SO_LtJG_Harrison> CO: Still tracking the trajectory.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<SO_Ens_Mcniel> ::examines her displays carefully:: CO: We have roughly an hour's margin for error, sir. Beyond that, and the asteroid will be too close for us to do anything beyond attempt to minimize the damage.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Rolls his eyes as the XO flirts with her hubby.::
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
::looks about, eyes shifting, then closes as a medical tech passes by, thinking that he needs to find a uniform or some spare clothes and make a break for it::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::continues to run calculations through the database, glancing very briefly every so often back towards the command center::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Captain, I have impulse drives back to full power. However, the tractor emitters are shot and the structural integrity field is shaky, so try not to stress the ship if we can help it.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Closes the panel, gathers her tools, and exits the tube::
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
CO: Captain, my calculations are putting the touchdown in the ocean near the main continent...in 82 minutes.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CEO*/CTO/OPS: Any progress on determining a viable plan?
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
::is surprised he's not under force field restraint...maybe they checked his blood out already, and cleared him of not being a Founder::
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: I still think launching all of our torpedoes and firepower at it is the best option.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Given the current condition of the ship Sir, I'd recommend heating the surface of the object to correct the trajectory by out gassing. It's the least possibility of damaging either the ship or the planet. If we can correct the trajectory, it should fly by harmlessly at the speed it's going.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*Sickbay*: Have we managed to identify our guest?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::considers for a moment, then speaks up:: CO/OPS/*CEO*: If we can get in front of it, I may be able to modify a spread of torpedoes to divert its flight path enough that it bypasses the planet. It'll be at best just another asteroid in the system, and at worst a new comet.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
::increases speed to match the newly available resources from engineering:: CO: Intercept in 5 minutes sir.

ACTION: With a groan, a little cough from the sub light engines and a flicker of lights the Sharikahr shoots forward toward her prey.

OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Actually Captain, I do have another idea.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
::sees a nurse comes to check to his vitals on the monitor above his bed:: MO: You'd better answer that call.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: We can't deal with "mays” and "mights”, Lieutenant.  Can our weaponry make a significant impact?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::glances back at his console:: CO: Simulations are in progress now, captain. I'll have a definite answer in just a minute.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
<MO_Ens_Ratigan> ::looks nonplussed about being caught in a situation he didn't want to be in:: *XO*: This is Nurse Ratigan, sir. DNA lab results just ran through the database. But I need to check with the doctor for confirmation. Should be just another few minutes.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Captain! I have an idea!
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
OPS: Lieutenant?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Captain, if we engage the object to destroy it any chunks we don't destroy completely will still hit the planet. We need to change the trajectory. Torpedoes will likely break it up, not shift it.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: We tear a hole in subspace and let the asteroid go threw it.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*MO*: Get back to me as soon as you have him identified.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
MO: You mean you're not sure who I am, but don't have me under restraint? Don't you know wartime protocol, nurse? What if I'm a shape shifter?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: If I can hit the asteroid at the right angle, it should alter its course enough that it passes by the planet. There is of course the chance that in doing so, it would shatter. I would need more information on the specifics of the asteroid in order to give a definite scenario.

ACTION: Right when the Sharikahr is in intercept range with the asteroid, the FCO's screen becomes blank. The ship automated navigational system has gone offline.

CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
<MO_Ens_Ratigan> CIV: Pardon, sir?
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
::curses...quite loudly::
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
CO: Captain, navigation is offline.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: We can modify the deflector dish to emit the proper energy to tear into subspace.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
CO: I don't know what the hell happened.  ::exasperated::  My console just went blank.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
OPS: That would take at least 2 hours, lieutenant. Assuming enough of Sharikahr's systems remain online to give us the power we need.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Cause?
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CTO: Do you have any better suggestions?

ACTION: The bridge speaker start emitting a loud proximity warning.

CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::is about to respond, then instead, tunes his sensors to maximum::
Host Enrico says:
<Computer> ALL: Attention, one minute to impact.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
CO: Cause?  Cause?  I have no idea what caused it.   Crap, crap.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
MO: Are you daft, pinkskin?! ::lowers his voice, and feels embarrassed by his outburst:: Look, let me save you the trouble. I'm Petty Officer Kizlev Hy'Qiin, security officer on detachment from the USS Pittsburgh. I know this can't be my ship since I don't see Dr. Winterson around. I need to see your CO, or your Chief of Security at the very least.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Another option is we try to pull it into Warp with us, providing we can create a large enough warp field.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
*CEO*: Commander, I need you to reverse engine polarity now, emergency stop.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Sees the warnings in Main Engineering and works to set the systems to secondary to restore controls and screens once more::
Host Enrico says:
<Computer> ALL: Attention, forty second to impact.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Sets the engines to full reverse::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::taps at a control on his console, attempting to bring more power to the shields::
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
::places a palm over his forehead, feeling his headache coming on again::

ACTION: The Sharikahr this time screams loudly...putting more stress to the structural field integrity and the inertial dampener, but it stops and starts moving in reverse.

OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Holds on tight, gritting his teeth, thinking of voicing what he thinks is the best option.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Brings the structural integrity field to maximum plus reinforcement, stops the engines to reduce stress, and sets the RCS thrusters to station keeping to hold the ship steady until she can get the Navigational system back online::
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
<MO_Ens_Ratigan> CIV: Let me...um, let me just talk to the doct-- ::is thrown to the foot of the biobed next to Kizlev::
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Well I figure, 3 options is always best to give. So option 3. Leave the planet for dead.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
OPS: Lt, do you show power to the navigation systems?  Was there a short somewhere?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: We're close enough now that we have enough time to implement one strategy. But we're losing our window of opportunity, captain.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<implement>
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Checks navigation systems.:: FCO: Checking.

ACTION: The Navigational System returns to life. The FCO console lights up like a Christmas tree.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Utilizing our weaponry appears to be the only possibility.  However, does our ship have the required output?  Can we augment our offensive firepower with some of our antimatter stores?
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Looks over at the FCO's console.:: FCO: I see power is getting to it just fine.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
::is used to ships being tossed about, and instinctively braces, and doesn't get tossed like the green sickbay nurse:: MO: Didn't I just tell you there's a war going on? Enough of this, I'm getting a uniform. There's people getting shot on Chin'toka right now.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
Self: Oh sure...bloody useful now for you to come back on.  Stupid console.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
OPS: Well I still want to know what happened - we nearly ended up a large grey splat on the side of that rock.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: I believe we can, sir. We do also have several quantum torpedoes at our disposal should they be required.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Checks his systems.:: FCO: Best guess for now is, the rock is emitting some kind of field that kills navigation.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*FCO*: I set the Nav to secondary systems for now, and stopped the ship. Treat her carefully, the structural integrity field is still subpar.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
<MO_Ens_Ratigan> ::scrambles up to his feet and tries to calmly intercept the grouchy Andorian:: CIV: Whoa, hold up a minute, sir. Chin'toka? A war? You mean the Dominion? That war's been over for nearly ten years!
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO/OPS: Map the trajectory and program it into the computer to automatically extrapolate in case of system failure.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
*CEO*: Aye Commander.  Did you experience any other system outages?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::begins checking over the final evacuation procedures as the CO asked her::
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Starts inputting the information.:: CO: Yes sir.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*FCO*: Those were the critical ones I was watching. I don't think anything else was effected. Seems only the Flight controls were wonky.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
::his antennae point at the 20-something nurse, glaring at the man with angry purple eyes:: MO: What? Those of my clan do not take kindly to jokes made in poor taste.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::continues to monitor his console, watching the asteroid continue to draw further away and closer to ending their mission, the hard way::
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
XO: Ma'am, I've got a gut feeling something else is at work here....
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
*CEO*/OPS: I don't like that...interference from the asteroid should have affected multiple systems.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
OPS: Nothing but very impersonal and uncaring physics I think.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
CO: Matching course and speed with the asteroid sir.  Setting the Sharikahr for automated station keeping.
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
::programs in a station-keeping course with the asteroid to avoid further collision incidents::
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
XO: How can you be positive? After all, Madison is right. Other systems should've been affected.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
<MO_Ens_Ratigan> CIV: I'm serious! Please, just wait right here. Don't go anywhere. They're doing something with the tractor beams that's supposed unplug the moon we found you on. You're on the Sharikahr, by the way. I'll be right back.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*FCO*: The ship is half shaken apart Ensign. I'm not surprised at anything having problems. I'll have a team look at the Nav systems when I can spare them. For now please keep it on the secondary circuits.

ACTION: The Sharikahr is at 30,000 KM from the asteroid, in full range for weapons, transporters and whatever else. The planet on the main screen is growing larger and larger any second that passes by.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Lieutenant.  Start bringing all offensive weaponry online.  We're going to need to cause a significant deviation in the trajectory, possibly using the torpedoes as explosives combined with the particle phaser proposal.  We'll also need our phasers ready for point-defense interception of any free floating ejecta.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Starts calculating the Zero Barrier and puts it on screen.:: CO: Once the asteroid crosses this line, its all over.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Begin with the phasers immediately.  SO: Science, determine maximal locations for phaser strikes.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Yes sir. ::begins to route power to the weapons system, and programs in a firing pattern using quantum torpedoes, with phasers on point defense:: CO: Systems are ready.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
Self: The...Sharikahr? ::Thinks about having heard the name before, like in some past fleet-wide action perhaps. But how? And the sickbay...looks so much like the one on the Pittsburgh...no, different than that one. Another ship...::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<SO_Ens_Mcniel> ::begins to run scans of the asteroid, relaying the information to tactical:: CO: Aye sir.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Sends out her repair teams to their next assignments and goes off on the next task herself::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::adjusts his targeting program based on the information from science, and fires the phasers::
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
*CEO*: Once this over, if you need some help, let me know.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
OPS: The asteroid is large and made of several exotic elements. I imagine that was all there was to it Lt.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Have another of your officers work on a torpedo pattern to detonate multiple explosions over a short period.  I suspect two per second for a fifteen second burst.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*OPS*: I might just take you up on that, if they can spare you.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Aye. ::sends what information he has already collected down to the TIC, and gets the acknowledgement that ensign Mills is working on it::
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
*CEO*: Sounds good, but don't blame me if we get trapped in a TL or J-Tube together.

ACTION: The Sharikahr's phaser hit the asteroids in the specific places. The areas hit immediately begin to heat and to emit the iron particles in space.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Knowing his officers are set to work, he settles into his chair to monitor their progress ::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::shakes her head and rolls her eyes as she hears OPS flirt with the CEO::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::runs a scan of the asteroid, comparing its current course to its original one and readies a second volley::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: Sickbay should be getting back to me soon with the identity of our guest.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::resets the phasers for continuous fire, and engages the routine::
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Adjusts his calculations on the Zero Barrier, according to the CTO's progress.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Starts to work on her next job, checking the Nav systems::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: A most curious discovery, Commander.  I am interested in learning his identity as well.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::brings the torpedoes to hot standby, and watches the asteroid get closer to the event horizon, making a quick calculation::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: Agreed. The first question of course, is how long he was down there.

ACTION: The phasers continue to dissolve part of the rock...the deviation, so far, is minimal.

CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
<MO_Ens_Ratigan> ::comes back with the info on a PADD:: CIV: Okay, Dr. Calahan confirmed it for me. It says here... ::reads the info, then looks up at the blue guy just to be sure:: ...wow, um, well, you're somebody important I guess. Kizlev Hy'Qiin, captain, last command was USS Dublin, and...hmm, the rest is a blank. Just says "classified" after that and that you were declared MIA four months ago. ::hands the PADD over::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO/XO: I have the phasers on continuous fire, captain. It's having minimal effect.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Sir, we just aren't doing enough damage!
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Torpedo firing pattern is ready.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: I think we should fire the torpedoes sir.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Immediately effects were unlikely to be seen.  Only under continued and sustained effort will the collective forces begin to act.  Weaponry is at your discretion, Lieutenant.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Shakes his head.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: In that case.. torpedoes away. ::fires the first volley, and immediately loads a second::

ACTION: Nova Arcadia's blue oceans now fill the entire main viewer. The planet is nearer and the asteroid 17 minutes to the point of no return.

OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: 17 minutes to no hope.

ACTION: The torpedoes hit the target at the planned spots. They cause multiple explosions and blast away a small chunk of the asteroid that start moving in another direction.

CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Continues working on ship systems and managing her teams of repair crews, trying to get as much out of the ship they can with what is left::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
OPS: Don't be so pessimistic, lieutenant. ::fires the second volley:: If I believed in quitting I wouldn't be here. ::smirks ever so slightly::
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
MO: Captain? Let me see that... ::looks over the data...his service record astonishes longer than he could recall. The name Dublin sounds so familiar:: This is all in error, nurse. I'm security...enlisted. Check it again.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Is it too late to suggest getting in front and to the side to ignite a plasma explosion in its path?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: The projectile deviated 3 degrees on the last round, captain. I need another 5 before we can breathe easy.

ACTION: Once again the explosion jars the asteroid and creates another stray chunk of iron rock.

CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
<MO_Ens_Ratigan> ::taps his commbadge:: *XO*: I have the identification in, commander. Is this a bad time? ::hopes not given all the action they must dealing with on the bridge::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::shakes his head, and just stares at the console:: CO: That prompted a deviation of only a degree, sir. We need to adjust our position in relation to the asteroid. Come up on its near side.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Helm, comply.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::ceases firing, and resets the phasers for their new position::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
OPS: Lieutenant, position of the USS Minerva?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*MO*: How's the identification coming?
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Checks on the Minerva's location.::
FCO_Ens_Madison says:
::moves the Sharikahr into position close to it's planet-side::  CO: Aye sir.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: The Minerva is in no position to help as they only have thrusters.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::resumes firing the phasers, and readies another volley of torpedoes::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Finishes checking the Nav system and moves on to more important matters like the structural integrity::

ACTION: The Sharikahr manages to maneuver perfectly. And another volley of torpedoes hit the asteroid.

CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
::stares at the PADD, slipping into a minor daydream, hearing voices from friends long lost...then flashes of friends more recent, feeling so confused::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: We have a 2 degree deviation, captain.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<SO_Ens_Mcniel> CO: Captain, my scans indicate another volley will shatter the asteroid.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Raises an eyebrow - of course ::  SO: Can we utilize our phasers to make the chunk spin sufficiently to present a stable side to our torpedoes?
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: I recommend firing another volley, the smaller chunks will burn up in the atmosphere and we can target as many of the larger as possible with phasers.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
<MO_Ens_Ratigan> *XO*: The database is confident based on his DNA profile that he's a captain that was missing for the past four months. He's Kizlev Hy'Qiin. ::says the name like "high-keen":: He appears to be amnesiac, but we have to conduct further tests to be sure.

ACTION: The phasers begins to make effect and the asteroid course is deviated of another degree.

CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<SO_Ens_Mcniel> CO: Negative, sir. ::listens to the OPS officer, and shakes her head:: None of the pieces will be small enough to burn up in the atmosphere. The effect would be the same, simply much less concentrated.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*MO*: Perform whatever tests are necessary and keep me informed.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Captain, the phasers are doing something, if not quickly. It's deviated another degree. I need just 2 more.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Five minutes to zero barrier! SO: What will half a volley do?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: I may be able to augment their power from the reserves usually set aside for the torpedo launchers. That might give us just enough.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Do so.  OPS: Any chance our tractor beams are back online?
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Checks on tractor beam status.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::nods, and reroutes the extra power from the launchers, effectively taking them offline, to put all the now available power into the phaser beam::
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
<MO_Ens_Ratigan> *XO*: Aye, commander. CIV: You can doubt it all you like, sir, but the truth is in the DNA. I'm glad we happened along to find you. Do you have any idea how you ended up in that stasis machine?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Captain, good news, one of my teams just reported they have the forward tractor emitter back online ahead of schedule.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Engineering reports tractor beams are working.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Suddenly wonders to himself why his speech takes on human inflections during battle or high stress conditions ::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: We have a positive id on the Andorian sir.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CEO*/CTO/OPS: That might possibly be the required additional effort.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Just remember the structural integrity is still below normal, so try not to do anything too fancy.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: I can reverse the tractor beam and apply it to the asteroid, sir. USS Enterprize used a similar strategy to avoid a projectile from an exploding star.
Host Enrico says:
<Computer> ALL : Ninety seconds to event horizon.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Keeps working on repairing the structural integrity of the ship::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<I can = it should be possible to>
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
OPS: Modify and activate the deflector dish.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Does as ordered, modifying, then activating as fast as possible.::
Host Enrico says:
<Computer> ALL: Thirty seconds to event horizon.

ACTION: The Tractor beam is emitted, bluish from the deflector dish and hits the asteroid...together with the phasers it changes the course of 0.9 degrees.

CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
::slowly shakes his head:: MO: The truth...interesting choice of words. I wish I could answer your question. I don't know how I became an officer in the first place, or how the war even ended. ::stares at the padd some more:: It appears I am going to be your patient a while longer. ::hands the padd back and lays back down on the biobed, completely and utterly without a clue in the universe::

ACTION: The main asteroid grazes the planet upper atmosphere leaving a red steamy streak in it but then flies away. The two smaller asteroids enter the atmosphere headed for the surface.

OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Reroutes power from life support to give the tractor beam more umpf.::

ACTION: The Sharikahr's final effort saved the planet, but seriously damages the hull structural integrity. Tens of alarms light up on the CEO and OPS consoles.

CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Primary asteroid has grazed the atmosphere, sir. It's on a heading away from nova arcadia. ::pauses, and rechecks his readings:: We have two secondary asteroids on an inbound approach, sir.
CIV_Capt_Kizlev says:
<MO_Ens_Ratigan> ::takes a deep breath, not sure what more to say to the blue guy, and just moves on to finish his rounds before more possible casualties come rolling in::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<TO_LTJG_Loral> ::steps inside sickbay, and glances around at the goings on for a moment::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
::Goes to the Master Systems Display to start managing the damage::
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
XO: Request permission to help with repairs?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
All: Secondary asteroids estimated impacts are oceanside and on the mainland. Points of impact coming up on screen now. ::puts the estimated end points on the main viewer::
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Reroutes power back to life support.::
