Marine Centre
2nd Lt Ilyce Savage & 1st Lt Thomas Summers

1st Lt Thomas Summers, stepped out of the turbo lift which had stopped five times on the way to the marine centre, but then he only saw where to step, press, climb out of the turbo lift and climb down the jefferies tubes until he found where he wanted. Taking in the emergency marine issue lights, he entered through the jefferies opening tossing his duffle first and following.
“Well atleast someone's on the ball.” Catching sight of a familiar sight, he knew who was on the ball. Listening to her giving instructions, he tipped Daytona was up with the brass, wondering if the entire ship was in darkness.

“It most certainly is.” Ilyce caught his question, turning towards the familiar face. “Welcome onboard 1st Lt Summers, don't you think the occasional coloured lantern makes a nice touch.”

Thomas held out his hand and used it to pull her closer. “I'm not so sure they're marine issue though.” He returned her saluate. “How much of the ship is in darkness?”

“The lot, well mostly, I haven't been to the bridge, seems whoever did some rebuilds used two types of power distribution feeders, and what they used doesn't work with this vessel.” Ilyce answered. “Private Campbell, could you show out Marine Executive to his quarters, and then standby to escort him to his office.”

“Ma'am yes ma'am.” Ilyce smiled at the just out of the Academy Marine.

“Sir, Yes Sir.” She corrected him.

“I shall return CI Savage don't disappear on me.” Thomas stated.

“I'll be somewhere on the deck.” She handed him a working torch. “Yes Chaplain Roose, how can I be of assistance?” Ilyce turned around to find not only the unit's chaplain but a group of marines standing there. “Okay people, let me guess we're all looking for something to do?” Getting various nods, Ilyce nodded. “Okay our Marine Executive Officer has arrived, so let's give in twenty or so minutes. In the mean time, I need every locked door opened. Those who know how to use Cord Explosives, step up and Mr Flann will distribute the cords, leave the door in one piece and on the floor. Those assigned to Rescue Retrieval and Recovery, if you want to make your way to briefing room one, making sure that it has lanterns, you're mine and I'll be there as soon as Mr Flann has everything else under control. I'd like everything removed from every storage area, locked door or not and a record of everything. Can those with animals please light stick them? The poodles following me, belong to Daytona and myself.”

“Marine Executive Officer on deck”

“As you are people.” Thomas Summers answered. “Let us start with what 2nd Lieutenant Savage has stated and we'll work from there. Are we waiting on Engineering?” He looked at Ilyce.

“We have our own engineers and the parts, though if you'd like my opinion, I say we're better off the grid Sir.”

“Then lets have the engineers start fixing our area, and we'll fit the lanterns in permanent place. Is there any reason we can't access the main ship's power?” He asked Savage.
“The power feeders are of two sizes and everytime power jumps from one size through to the other we arc.” Ilyce answered.

“WDDCE?”

Ilyce nodded. “If there's anything else XO, yell. Mr Flann....”

“Mr Flann is First Sargeant?”

“Sir. Yes. Sir.” Flann answered.

“Sir is ample First Sgt.” Thomas answered. “Alright if you're not part of Savvage's RRR, then let's start with what Savage began and then we'll move on. “Anyone with needs vocalise them.”
