[Turbolift, post second wave hit]

Kit woke with emergency lighting and two medics akimbo and moaning. She was strapped to a medical grav sled. "Damn it someone release me." she snarled trying her best to get a better view of the situation.

The two medics who were with Kit groaned and then there was silence.


Bridge

Aurora had been sitting in her seat holding for dear life when the wave had hit, opening her eyes she found herself lying on the deck. She didn't have much of a recollection of getting thrown from the chair, but she obviously had.

Pushing herself up into a sitting posture she looked around the now dimly lit bridge. "Captain? Savar?" she instinctively looked for her husband. "Anyone else awake? sound off if you are!"

After being thrown upward and to the side, Bonnie now found herself sprawled out on top of another person. In the darkness she had no idea whom. As she rolled into what she thought was an upright position she noted the entity that was next to her was gone. "I'm alive," She muttered even as her arm began to ache at the shoulder. She couldn't tell if she was bleeding but she hurt all over and at least she could feel her fingers and toes wiggle. "Any bearing on the Tachyon Well?"

Savar lay sprawled on the deck by his station. His first reaction was main power was out judging by the bridge lights reduced brightness. His next reaction was he heard Aurora calling to him and the captain. His third reaction was something wet and sticky was in his eyes. Raising a hand, he gingerly touched his forehead, and his fingers came back coated in green blood. "I am here Aurora. Have you located the Captain?"


[Turbolift, post second wave hit]

A young male medic slowly crawled to the medical grav sled and punched in a code, the straps holding Kit in place retracted. “We were called to the bridge sir because you sustained a head injury and was unconscious. My partner and myself had just entered the turbolift when the ship again buckled about. Well, you see the results.” Kitiuas gingerly sat up, the world spun and she felt like vomiting. “Tend to your companion, I’ll contact the bridge.” Ensign Thenis said, fighting the urge to vomit. =/\=Bridge this is Ensign Thenis with medics=/\= here she paused and looked at the young man “Johnson and Castillo, sir” =/\=Johnson and Castillo. It would appear we are trapped in the turbolift, and it would appear my medics need medics themselves.=/\= Kit patiently waited for a response.

[Main Engineering]

Alarms were blaring everywhere. Smoke was coming out of almost every nook and cranny in the engineering hall and there were more that had erupted into flames. A large percentage of the controls in engineering had been destroyed. Any EPS conduits that had survived the first wave were either ruptured or damn near close to it. Almost everyone had been thrown to the deck including the CHENG.

Thriss had been flung back against one of the consoles on the bulkhead from his positon at the center console in Main Engineering. He was unconscious with moderate injuries. One of his Petty Officer's in main engineering approached him and knelt down next to him, scanning his boss with a tricorder.

"Sir can you hear me?" She asked. No response. The tricorder wasn't a medical one, but it did a basic diagnosis on the Andorian. He wasn't stellar but he wasn't critical. He could be concussed but the tricorder wasn't specific.

The Petty Officer shook his arm, which was broken, unbeknownst to her. "Sir can you hear me?" She asked louder. This time the Chief was awaken. It was slow, but he came out of his unconsciousness. As he did he winced in pain and was dazed.

"S-sorry sir" the Petty Officer stammered.

"It's alright" he groaned as his vision cleared as he winced again. "Mind helping me up Petty Officer?"

"Yes sir" she reached for his other arm, helping him off of the ground.

"Sitrep?" He asked.

"Everything is in shambles sir. He sustained heavy casualties down here" she looked up and noticed Andorian blood on the Chief Engineer's head. "Sir, you're bleeding."

"That isn't important right now. Are you alright Petty Officer?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. I'd like you to help finish analyzing any more casualties down here. After that I'd like you to work on damage control on our systems. We need to salvage what we can."

"Aye sir" she said before running off to assist the others.

Thriss pressed a comm button, hoping it would work. "Engineering to Sickbay, we have injured down here, we need a medical team, stat!"

After closing the channel he opened another one to the bridge. "Kla'ren to bridge, please respond" he said as he grabbed a fire extinguisher and helped with containing the flames in engineering, while waiting for a response from the bridge.

*Bridge*

Ronson tried to take stock of the incoming com traffic and department reports, the console he was out fritzing as though there were a monkey underneath it randomly pulling on the wires.
"Comms are patchy, trying to compensate" he grimaced as the console went dark completely. He moved to another one and tried again. "Reports from engineering, they have injured, notifying sickbay." His hands flew over the console "ens The is requests medical assistance in the main turbolift, routing to sickbay..."

Another bleep came from the unmanned nearby console. "Tachyon eddy incoming!".

Whilst not as physically violent as the plasma wave the tachyon eddy packed a punch of a different kind - it knocked out all the ship's electrical systems, rendering them dark.
