Fleet Opening Mission: To Our Future

[Eamon Rayner]

Independence

“...I have picked up a device in bedded in the auxiliary and main power generators it is preventing me from shutting them down and if I am reading this correctly then they seem to have a homing device in planted in them. What are your orders?”

Eamon overheard the operations officer and growled. “A homing beacon preventing the generators shut down sequence!” He hated it when things did not go smoothly or wrong for that matter; he assumed the engineering station from the relief officer there and got to work.

Though it would have been simpler to just go down to the generators and disconnect the offending device, which it may come to, but Eamon was sure he could program the generators to overload. That would trigger the failsafe and shut down the generators allowing some engineers to get in, extract the device then get out before the automatic restart macro.

Suddenly he realised that this would leave the Independence without shields or weapons on the battlefield. Eamon turned to the Captain. “I suggest we dock for the procedure then rejoin the battle Captain.” He said just as he finished the programming and saved it in a macro the ship sustained a strong hit and the engineering console sparked before exploding.

He was thrown a meter away from his console and burned, Eamon fought to stay awake.
