==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Escape?== | |||
===by Andy Catterick=== | |||
SD: 2261.124 | |||
Scene: Shuttlecraft STORM | |||
“Engines online and powering up. Ready for launch in 17 seconds.” Sean reported from the co-pilot’s chair of the shuttle. His voice was as calm as it would be for any shuttle departure. Which was remarkable given that he had never been inside a shuttle sitting on a flight deck that was literally exploding around them. Between HOOD’s attack, the sabotage and the impending self-immolation that TSS HOOD was steadily counting down toward, things were getting very interesting. | |||
Jack’s hand was poised over the throttle ready to gun the small crafts engines and get them out into the safety of space. “Gar are you ready on the doors?” There was a brief silence. “Gar? Doors?” | |||
“Yes sir.” Gar replied with a trace of frustration in his voice. | |||
Jack looked back to the main flight deck doors which stood firmly secured. “Good. I think you can open them down.” | |||
Gar swore in his native tongue. “The override isn’t working. Stand by I’m on it. He knelt down and yanked a panel off the console base. | |||
“Don’t know what yer all playing at but if my counting is correct the ship is going to blow in less then 60 seconds.” Stile called from aft. | |||
“Lifting off now.” Jack said as he powered the thrusters and brought the ship off the deck. | |||
“Almost there.” Gar reported. | |||
“Lights!” Sean suddenly shouted the stress of the situation finally appearing. “Lights on the doors!” The doors lurched apart a few metres and then ground to a halt. He looked over at Jack. “Big enough?” | |||
“Its going to have to be. Gun it Sean!” | |||
Merrick slammed down on the throttle and the shuttle sprang from its hover as Jack rotated to port. “Hold on they’re starting to close!” | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Will we make it out before the ship explodes? Will we splatter against the flight deck doors? I hope someone has those answers. | |||
Its not quite summer yet, lets not get into the doldrums too soon! | |||
Respectfully, | |||
Andy | |||
