USS Independence
Bridge
2004 hrs
As the Admiral contemplated Zack's request to deploy the TPP Mark Ones, Zack focused his attention on the Operations Officer. A drain on reserve power was not unheard of--but it almost nevet happened unless the auxiliary systems were in use. Independence's mains were still online and fully functional. That left two possibilities--malfunction or sabotage. Both of those options left Zack with a sick feeling.
"Level 5 diagnostic of all auxiliary systems,"said Zack. "Quickly!"
"Yes Captain," said Morgan from the Engineering console. After just a few seconds, she replied. "Sir, the diagnostic routines cannot access auxiliary power generators. All other systems read green."
By Dorinda's Healing Light, what are those frinxing spoon-heads doing? Zack thought.
"Take auxiliary power generators offline," he said calmly. "Cut life support to minimum levels and divert every last watt of energy from non-essential systems. Looks like we will need to work without a safety net." Zack turned back to the Admiral on-screen. "Now, Admiral...how about the TPP Mark One? We can end this quickly if you allow me to use the transphasic torpedos."
