Posted on Sun Jan 29th, 2017 @ 7:54am by Lieutenant JG Michael Emerson

Mission: Bad Moon Rising
Location: Remains of Starbase 900
Timeline: Five minutes after Taking a Little Trip...

Lieutenant Michael Emerson sighed as the orders ran through his mind once more as he recalled the voice of Colonel Highsmith. "Blue Team, you'll be taking the lower decks. Red Team, we'll be taking the mids. Tag all civilians with emergency transport beacons and lead them to an available beam out point. If any terminals are operations, download what data you can and set the self-destruct on them if possible. Once you reach your designated structural junctures, set your charges and get the hell out of there. If you encounter hostiles, do what you can but if it's the Borg- you run. I don't want any dead heroes today, now let's move. "

Petty Officer Second Class Kelly Shaddock and Petty Officer First Class Frederic Ellsworth both knew something was bothering Blue Leader but for now, the two of them left it alone for now as the three of them sealed the airlock behind them, then Kelly repressurised the system so they could gain access to the base interior.

Emerson narrowed his eyes. "Blue Team, leave you buckets on." he said quietly over the com. "Indulge me on this one guys."

"Willdo." came Shaddock's response as Ellsworth simply nodded his head before he added. "Aye skipper."

Emerson watched in silence as Shaddock began to access the computer core, moments later there was a loud hissing sound before the seals were broken and the airlock opened, allowing Blue Team access to the station. "Blue Team to Homeplate, we're in... will advise further."

The response was instant. "Roger that Blue Team. Proceed at your discretion." came the voice of Lt Commander Plataea Yamaguchi

"Roger that Wheeljack. out." Emerson responded evenly, sounding like he was calm and in control of his emotions.

Shaddock led the way in silence, she allowed her gaze to drift from center to her left and then off to her right, there were bodies everywhere and while she was fortunate she didn't know any of them, this didn't make it easier for anyone from Blue Team. "Check for lifesigns..." Emerson commented.

Shaddock rolled her right wrist before she began tapping the wrist-tricorder with her left hand. "Copy Lead. checking the.... people over."

Emerson could hear the emotion in her voice but he knew exactly how Kelly felt. "Fred.. Move to the door and get us an exit when we finish here.."

"Willco Lead. heading there now." was all Ellsworth said. 'Willco' was shorthand for 'Will Comply' Emerson recalled as he likewise activated his tricorder, moments later his readings confirmed what his eyes had already told him, every single last person in here was dead.

"Fred?"

"Doors open lead." came the response. Emerson nodded his head. "Lets move on towards the core.." he gently prodded his teammates, there was no point in remaining here.
