<Lt. Cmdr. Max Mortimer, Turbolift>

The turbolift heads to deck <wherever the transporter rooms are>

"According to the computer, the transporter was beaming something over to the Klingon ship before it was tampered with. What have we got on board that they could want?" 

Mortimer draws his hand phaser and sets it to stun. As he does so, his prosthesis gives an involuntary twitch. [Luckily, he is right-handed]
Not again - it's been doing that for the last few days. On a ship this size, the engineering crew are probably busy enough as it is without bothering about that, so I sent a message to my old academy friend, Commander Decker, who is Chief Engineer on the Horizon, asking him to take a look at a new design.

[I'm assuming from 1st Officer Storm's message that the bridge crew carry phasers on the Lafayette, which would be consistant with the ships general brief]

"If they have sabotaged the entire transporter system, we can't beam our away team back! Hopefully they only got transporter 2, but I can't see why they would have bothered with just one."

"Dammit Sir, I'm an administrator, not a tactician." :)
[Sorry, I've got no idea how old any of you are - you may be too young to get that one]

The turbolift arrives at the transporter complex corridor.
"In those old 20th Century movies I keep watching, someone always crawls through the ventilation system. It's a pity our ventilation shafts are only 5cm wide"

Storm, Kindle, and Mortimer are met by three security guards armed with phaser pistols.
[Everybody likes to arm security guards with phaser rifles, but the only phaser rifle I've ever seen in Trek was used by William Shatner in a publicity photograph for the original series!]

"Somebody should check on the other transporter room, and stand guard in case they try to take that as well"
Not bad for an administrator! Guess I must have been paying attention in those 'Small Unit Tactics' classes at the Academy after all.

Two security guards move down the corridor to transporter room 1.
