(USS Illuminar - Deck 11 - Main Engineering - EO Ensign jg Tycho Alantar – 1342)
=^=We have, Ensign Alantar. Which of the engineering cadets was it?=^=
The FO's voice came through the comms clearly. At least that was still
working, Tycho mused as the job continued.

"Cadet Surkal is gone, all others accounted for, ma'am, no regular
crew missing either." Tycho wanted to be expedient, but provide info
that could help, even if it's by eliminating vectors.

He left the comm link open in order to react faster to the goings on
of the Bridge, muting his end so there was less crosstalk for the
commander to deal with. Very quickly he saw that people were reacting
like an oiled machine to the commands the commander was making several
decks away. Someone was already setting up the dampening system to
account for the shear and inertial hiccups that made up the dance
called evasive maneuvers

His mind niggled on something and he mused aloud after he restored his
comm connection, "Commander Verin, has anyone from the other ships
gone missing? And is anyone from the night shift missing from their
beds?" He wasn't familiar with the individual makeup of each and every
crew.

(Reply Sienna, any rfm)

He almost felt, rather than saw the nearest cadet start to get a
panicked, overwhelmed look; call it a spare sense from years of
studying how people moved so he could counter better in his martial
arts. He grabbed her shoulder and made her look at him, making his
voice one not to be denied. "Penny, you can break down when, and only
when, your classmate is back safely aboard this ship, along with the
Captain and anyone else. Understood?"

The young woman nodded her head, "Understood, sir."

Tycho nodded, "Good, now keep an eye on that intermix ratio, it's not
what you studied at the Academy." The cadet turned back to the station
and took a deep breath before re-engaging with the interface. While
only a junior officer, he was still her senior and his time at Mars
base building these drives wasn't wasted, but it was critical that
these cadets learned quickly lest they graduate and blow themselves up
not understanding the crystal drives.

NRPG: I think the timeline around here is getting a bit smooshy, and
timestamps are piling up so I bumped the time a little to give space.
Feel free to slap my wrist for it.
