The plan went into action and the away team launched in the shuttles while the Mihoshi drew the attention of the remaining Klingon vessels, which happened very quickly.  Using the disabled B'Rel and the tachyon radiation to cloak their approach.  Vanna carried Jason and Tekar while the other pilot, Nolan Wescott, brought the shuttles just short of their target (Vanna rolls 6,4 ; 11,8).

Thani's sensors immediately saturated with tachyon radiation and she ordered shields up to protect shuttle systems (15,5), but knew anyone entering the B'Rel would have precious little time. Jason and Tekar left first to open the cargo bay door, but without power, it would take time to manually open.  Thani (5,15) recommended Vanna's shuttle be brought alongside as close as possible to attempt to shield them, if only a little.  Vanna carefully navigated alongside (5,2), but the shuttle with Wescott, Bart and Thani began experiencing maneuvering issues.  Bart resolved the maneuvering issues (7,17) but knew the shuttles' system were themselves vulnerable.

Jason (4,2) and Tekar (12,17) breach the cargo doors to find... nothing.  There is no power; this includes lights, gravity and life-support.

Tekar makes a few hand signs gesturing for security to secure the cargo bay, as he moves forward performing a sweep as he moves. "Bay secure, proceeding to the hallway, can we get a heading on the warhead?" Tekar asks over his communicator as he advances to the door and checks if it's locked before either overriding the door or just proceeding into the hallway and making sure it's secure as well.

Jason followed Tekar and paused to look around. He held his phaser lowered but ready. A brief glance was given to the Vulcan as he spoke and the headed further in. "What kind of time do we have before we should leave? IF its 15 minutes, we need to start heading back after we are half way through that time? Its already been 2 minutes at least." He added that to make sure they knew the time frame.

Within moments of leaving the safety of the shuttle's shields, Jason and Tekar begin to feel a tingle in their extremities.

According to Alex Dupont's calculations, after ten minutes, the tingling will way to numbness and you begin to feel nauseous. Soon after, you may experience the inability to hold and grasp things like your phaser or tricorder.

After fifteen minutes, you will be unable to walk.

After twenty minutes, you will find yourself becoming delirious, unable to reason or think.

After thirty minutes, you will be dead.

In reply to Your Loving GM (msg # 4):

  Right now, only Jason and Tekar are suffering exposure.  The rest are protected by the shuttles' shields.  So if Security spent their time making sure the ship was clear, they could possibly return to the relative safety of the shuttles while Bart & Thani work.  Or they could sweep up to the lift tubes (zero-g) and sweep forward while Bart & Thani head to Engineering.  All are options, just need to decide the plan of action.

"We have to begin returning by six minutes, in order to ensure we can walk into the shuttle.  Ensign Walker, lets head for engineering and secure it for the others." Tekar says as he proceeds

He dug into his memory a moment while rubbing his tingling hand against his leg. "The transporter room, if i recall is beyond the cargo bay, sir. They might not have had any time to move the warhead because of the radiation. Its just this way. We might just want to find it and get it out. The Chiefs can take it from there."

"Perhaps, however, if it is not at the transporters we'll have wasted time securing the transporter rooms while disabling engineering will end the radiation allowing us unlimited time to search the ship." Tekar points out as they continue in the hallways.

"Hold on Thani, I have an idea..." Grabbing a tricorder, Bart opens up the back and the sensor and starts to rewire the small device. Giving it a small test, he was satisfied with the modification.  "I should be able to bounce a signal off of the other tricorders that Davis and Walker were holding."

The signal would be weak because of the radiation, but being in close proximity, he should get a reading. "Walker, Davis. Bart here.  I need you to turn your tricorders on and start scanning the ship in a circle, slowly."

Jason gave Tekar a look and shrugged, about to comply when Bart's voice came over the coms.

"Sir?" He took his tricorder out. "Scanning now, sir." He did as Bart asked, started to slowly arc the device from left to right, making eventually a circle. "Sir? Why do you want us to do this?"

"I'm bouncing a tachyon signal off your tricorder so that we can locate the source of the Tachyon radiation through triangulation.  Hopefully that is the torpedo."  Making a few adjustments to get the beam just right, Bart studied the readouts intently.

"Sounds good sir. Let me know when you find something. I think we got maybe 5 minutes max before we should leave." Jason continued to scan with his tricorder for Bart.

Jason stopped moving and glanced back the way they came, frustrated at the lack of exact location. "Lt. Keyes is in the shuttle, she can move it so we can get a better location," he said over coms to Bart and to Vanna. "Ma'am can you do that? Move towards the Above decks? If we can pinpoint it, Chiefs, we have a better idea. Otherwise both me and Lt. Davis will be fried."

Thani had been monitoring the Tachyon Radiation Levels - TRLs, when suddenly she lets out a gasp. Her antennae are twitching erratically as a look of confusion is plastered on her face and her hand covers her stomach in obvious discomfort.

In reply to Thani sh'Elliaph (msg # 13):

  The sickening sensation twisted in her stomach and she risked emptying its contents if she didn't take something to settle it quickly.

Looking at Bart, "Quickly, first aid kit, I need something for my stomach if I am to function properly." A pained look crossed her face as she closed her eyes and mouthed some barely audible words, "Ishur Reth."
