The storm part six

The food crates began to fall off in space. Several of the crates were struck by the ions. Several exploded. The projectiles hit the ship. The ship felt the blast.
While the team in e.v.a suits struggled to close the berikade. The culvert was sealed.
Now they had a new problem. Another part of the ship was exposed. They were still were not safe. Unfortunately they were far from it.
The crew rushed to the area near the hydroponics bay. The crew did the same. They sealed the masive hatch.
In the infirmery kelly got more and more patcients with radiation sickness. She also treated injuries from the impacts to the ship. She had enlisted help from non medical staf. She was overwhelmed. The situation went from bad to worse to even worse.
Captain’s qurters
” The structure is fairly sound! The fact is this ship is not ready for what is out hear!”perizau said. “I believe we may need a full redesign. “Schumar said. “When the storm passes,we will evaluate our next moves. Right now lets focus on getting though all this. I am confident we will! Even though it does not seam it right now! “Corner styles said.
He knew his senior officers fears had not been eleviated. He tried never the less.
“Dr. Kell what about the medical front?” Corner asked.” A large number of crew are suffering from various degres of radiation poisong. I suspect it is from the Storm. “Dr. Kell reported.
“We have no treatment ?”shumar asked. “Not yet!” The doctor reported. ” We can help with that! “Steveren said. “We will stay on this!” Styles said.
The meating was dismissed. The senior staff got up. Corner was concerned with the morale of the crew. He was very concerned with the safty of the crew and the ship. He was not sure how to procede.
He feared that the ship might need to return to human space. The ship might have to undergo a masive refit. He feared humanity might turn inward. The exploration mission might be temporary scraped. He hoped that that would not happen.
A part of him was not that mankind was ready to venture into deep space. Mayby he had been arogent. He had no idea.
  “Captain! You can canibolize my ship. The aloy could reinforce key areas of the ship! It will be cramped but i believe we can protect the crew! “Steveren said.”in The middle of a storm?” He asked.
“I know. This storm is not going any where! I think this could be the answer !”he said. “You will be sacrificing your ablity to leave! Your fate will be tied to ours!”corner observed. “I already have. Your not going to give up. I am a part of thia crew. I might as well start acting like it.i am all in corner!” The andorian told him.
“Alright ! Get with perizau ! “Corner said. He noded. Corner got a good feeling. Maybe they would make it after all. He really hoped so.
He did not want this to be over. He dreamed of humanity venturing out into space. Maybe this was the beginning. He looked out into space though a porthole.
This was the beginning ! This was a rising sun not a setting. He was caucious but his optimism was starting to rise even though it was ever so slightly.
  The crew was concerned but agried to the plan. They were wiling to give it a try. They had to try something. They were hear. They started to do it. Would it work was anyone gues. Mayby they lived in mythological times. He hoped they did.

The storm part five

“As the storm continues,nurves have become fraid. Uncertainty grows. So far the ship has wrethered the storm very well but every one is wating for the orther shoe to drop. Everyone is certain it will!”
“Want i would not give for a cup of coffe right now!”styles said. “We could heat it up with a hand lazer!” Trajaten said. “That might not be a good idea!” Shumar said.
“Sir! The storm has increased in magnitude but decreased. I believe it will countinue to increase for a few more houers! I am not sure that thr shields can protect us foever. ” Tivora said.
“Do you have any idea how long this storm will last?” Bryce asked. “Acording to my calculations at least eight more houers commander!” She said.
“We may have to devert more power! ” tivora said. ” We cut all power there is cut!” Trajaten said.”no we have not!” She said. “We need ship wide intercraft and ship to ship !”trajaten said. “No one seams to be out! “Tivora said. “Who would venture out ib a storm in a ruber digny!” Kelly w said.
” Are you sure the shields won’t hold?” Styles said. “I am certain of it!” Tivora said. “Vulcan your never wrong ! This is why my species always treaded lighly with your people . For a non emotional people you people are prety arogent!”trajaten said.
“Woa! Time out! This is not helpful! ” Styles said. “We could transfer power from my ship!”steveren said. “We considered it but it could short circut the ship. Our computors probably are not conpatible! It would be like trying to interface an eller 235 to a comadore 64. “Perizou said.
“The comunicators are indipendent of the com system . There don’t seam to be any ships in the vicinity. If we need to we can comunicate by flare. It is non esential power right now! “Styles said.
“I guess i am out of a job for the time being! ” trajaten said. “Find us some other extra power! We have a long road ahead!” Styles said.
Tivora was working on power transfer when jasson came over.”you ok?”jason asked. “I am trying to protect the ship! I understand that these may seam like draconian cuts but i see no orther choice !”she said.
“Every one is nervous and on edge. As the otther storm passes,so will this one!” He said.
“I have never been to Vulcan . Earth is my home. I want to aer humanity suceed and join the universial community. I am not trying to step on anyone’s toes. “She said.
“Your an aset to this ship. When we come though on the other side,it will be because of you! Just sit tight. You will make it!”he said.
Med bay
“Dr!”ensign gina elso said. Two crewman brought in a crewman. He had some kind of radiation burns. She began treating him.
Bridge
“Crewman ridgly was working on a conduet near the engine room. “Dr. Kelly renelds said.
“We have confirmed we have a smal leak!” Perizau said. ” Have you sealed it?” Shumar said. “For now but i fear while the shields have held,some how tge infrastructure of the ship has been compromised! We may see more of these!” Perizau said.
” i am not totally sure it is related to the storm. It could be a design flaw!” Kelly w said. “I considered that as well! ” perizau said. ” I want those areas that area screaned for radiation posioning! “Styles said.
Qurters of the captain
“You think mayby we are not ready. It is too soon?” Styles asked. “Frankly this is how you learn. School of hard knocks. The early exploers in the 15 and 1600s paved the way for meritime traval and opened up a new world.  When john f kenedy said we are going to put a man on the moon in ten years,it seamed like a pipe dream.  Someone has to take the first step. To every great story there has to be a beginning !” Shumar said.
“I really would rather not be the guy who failed. I don’t want to be a footnote in history !”styles said. “We will make it. This storm is not going to lick us!” Shumar said. “I hope your right bryce. I really do! ” he said.
Bridge
  The ship was rocked. “That was an unusually stronger ion! The storm is continuing to intensify. It has gone beyond my prediction !” Tivora said. “You are falible!”trajaten said. “Qiet!” Styles ordered.
The ship was hit. An airlock was hit. “Seal off the deck! ” styles ordered. “I can’t. It is not responding!” Tivora said. ” We will have to do it manualy!” Perizau said. ” Come on! Tivora take charge on the bridge !” Styles ordered.
Styles,shumar,trajaten,perizau and boyd left the bridge. The elivator were shut down so they had to use stairs. They made it to the area. They put on environmentle suits.
There was a gaping hole in the ship.  Air was pooring out. They all knew this was dangerous work even with the e.v.s suits. If they were sucked out into space they were vanerable to the storm. If they were struck it ment certain death.
  It had to be done. The team perpared to go out. The door had to be sealed. Manual release required at least four people opearating the manual release at once. This was risky.
What felt like wind blew though the deck. The e.v.a suit was working. They got to work.
Dr. Kelly had to treat more radiation sickness. There must be more cracks. The situation seamed to be getting worse. She hoped this could be turned around.
   The ship was hit again. This time on the other side. This time it was the hydroponics. Where the emergincy food suply was. They now had several problems on multiple fronts. The strugle was on.
