OOC: The DHC-7? It's those new damage control robots. The ones based on the Sentinel chassis. Also, help will come in the next post probably.

IC: The NRP Base picks up the transmission, and gets a rough idea as to where the Intrepid is located. A shore cannon opens fire, and manages to score a lucky hit on the Intrepid's engines. The reactors are severely damaged, and the engine room is flooded with high levels of radiation, though not before most of the men get clear of the compartment.

On the bridge of the Intrepid, alarms blare with radiation warnings as the engines are damaged, and diagnostic data is fed to the computers.

Officer 1: "Commodore! We've taken heavy damage to our engines, main power is down, I've switched us over to auxiliary power, but the cloak won't hold for long. Recommend a warp jump clear sir."

Officer 2: "Reactor critical sir! We need repair crews to shut it down manually at the reactor, remote systems are inoperative."

Officer 1: "Sir, we have radiation flooding the whole engine room, levels are already too high for protective suits to compensate for. A damage control crew would be killed before they even reached the reactor. Recommend we abandon ship sir."

Officer 3: "What about those repair robots we have on board? They can operate in extreme radiation levels."

The three officers look at Langley for their orders....

OOC: Not to control your ship, but I wanted to give you a challenge. You have enough power to warp away, but if you warp home, you risk a small nuclear blast coming from the ship. If you stay, you'll decloak. Either way, the reactor damage is going to destroy the Intrepid if it isn't addressed.
