Here is the gist of Narik's actions during Prologue Part I. It's rough and not ready for posting to the story threads but in case anyone was wondering what she was doing. And it won't be posted since it doesn't really fit in all that well. But it provides background for how she found out about Sharesh and going to Sickbay.The klaxon blared through the open engineering spaces. Narik looked up from the console in Main Engineering Level 2 on the 08 Deck when the red alert sounded through the ship. She recognized a few of the petty officers and crewmen who rushed past as they headed towards their assigned posts. Having experienced enough battlestations onboard the
Harbinger she grabbed a PADD and followed two crewmembers to the Mess Hall on Deck 09.
There was some conversations going on. A few of the crewmembers came to the mess from Sickbay and spoke of Ives' order to Nicander to keep someone alive regardless of the person's state. Others said that Ives demanded Nicander resurrect a dead man. This chatter happened around her as she huddled out of the way and listened while viewing ship schematics on the PADD she brought with her.
A Petty Officer came through and recognized Narik in her tucked out of the way corner. He moved over to her and asked her to come with him to his GQ post. They hurried to his watchstation and he was explaining the responsibilities when the ship began evasive maneuvers. The inertial dampeners couldn't totally stabilize the gravitational field around the ship as is started to maneuver. Narik grabbed onto a console as the ship swayed under her. She followed the PO's directions to pull up readings and start redirecting energy through the ODN conduits to maintain power to the shields and engines as ordered by the CONN up forward. Then the lights dimmed and the power display on her console showed the warp core power output going up with all the energy flowing towards one console and out to the deflector shields. Narik traced the power stream to a console meters away; it was the one LT Marlowe was standing in front of. Before Narik could investigate a plasma conduit exploided.
Hell was breaking loose around her, consoles fizzed and died, engineers worked on patching things up enough to get them out of there and yet all Tia could think of was the piece of illegal technology she was stood beside. As Thea worked on the console across the room Tia was focussed on keeping the hardware connected and running. She glanced around to observe her new team in full action, including the borrowed Boslic, they were good and glancing back down at the device she hoped her work with it would see them out of danger for long enough to get to know them better.
A violent shudder rocked her and a loud explosion nearby shook her nearly off her feet. Looking up she saw the plasma conduit that had exploded still flaring and two crewmen lying on the floor. One was flailing and screaming while the other moaned softly. Yelling as best as her still-raw throat would manage she called for an emergency transport to the sickbay for the injured crew and then at two others to put out the fire. There was enough falling apart in Engineering without a fire adding to the issues.
Narik redirected the plasma into a different conduit by isolating the portion of the conduit that was damaged. She added a double isolation to the ruptured section then grabbed a fire extinguisher to assist with the fire fighting.
The machine beside her feet made a sound like a wounded tiger and Tia responded with a growl of her own and she bent down to readjust the power management on the device itself and the sound subsided. As she stood back up the noise began again. A swift kick hurt her foot more than the machine but it stopped the noise and she warily eyed the consoles for any sign that it was going to pack in but was thankful to see it had no intentions of defying her again.
