Something's shaking in boomtown!

[ifix]

A terrific jolt shook the ship. Ifix looked up from mib_khan's ansible at his workspace in Engineering. The few alarms that the crew had not already disabled began to wail. Before Ifix could say anything, the Khan clone with him said, "We've been attacked. My clone on the bridge is dead. Finish with the ansible later and attend to the ship's damage first."

Ifix grunted commands at the computer, which showed him the damage to the bridge. The emergency hull integrity shields would remain stable for the moment, but the ship wouldn't likely withstand more attacks. As Khan left engineering he heard Ifix say, "Pattern look surgical. Might have problem getting new chair."

Ifix rapidly worked on restoring full shields, bypassing a dangerously large number of safety protocols and design specs, which wouldn't really be necessary if the ship exploded. In short order, full shields returned. The lethal radiation from the shield emitters could wait. As could the sparking in the power conduits. Acrid smoke accumulated in Engineering for a while, until Ifix turned up the air scrubbers. It didn't help with the ozone smell, though. He would worry about the excess power drain when it started to affect other ship's systems.

He grabbed the ansible and headed to the bridge, so that he could survey the damage up close.
