After a minute or so, the ship's AI says "All crew are safely in their quarters."

g k h k k l m m l m "There are ten deceased crew members and two more being tended to in sick bay Sir." The ship replies. Casualty Report: Suvyan Menucher Shirmard Javidan Periadoc Seddyn Verica Jaera Mujeeb Veran
"Yes, Ensign Kimefe. I will do so." the ship's voice acknowledges the CSO's command.
"No mam, the fighting is over there. The Captain is okay, but security officer Rucla didn't make it." The Excelsior responds to Kimefe's query.
Time:Between Round 4 and 5
Syarha's communicator crackles to life, and the Excelsior's voice comes through. "There was a battle, and you were knocked unconscious. If by everybody you mean the other officers, they are mostly in the Cargo bay fighting. CMO Baasira is on her way there, and the Captain is with the security team securing deck one. Are you okay miss?"
"Officer down on Deck 6, CMO Bassira please make haste. Be advised combat is ongoing." Comes the Excelsior's voice crackling through your communicators.
"The area where the intruders entered is badly damaged Ms. Kimefe, however I will try." A grainy shifting image appears on your viewscreen.
"Yes sir." The Excelsior replies. After the door is shut you all hear, "Officers, I am reading three life signs in the cargo bay on Deck 6. Please hurry to stop them, the gate drive is on deck 6. It is a unique creation and must be protected!" The ship's robotic voice betrays a hint of panic. Like someone whose body is about to be cut open.
"We have hull breaches on decks 1 and 6. I am detecting multiple hostiles entering our ship." The Excelsior reports.
"The ramming ship destroyed itself in its attempt to pierce my hull." The Excelsior informs the crew.
"The patrol ship we were about to tow in exploded. I'm damaged, but all major systems intact." The ship replies to Horus.
Location: Engineering Tube "Ms. Screething, as I'm sure you felt we've passed through the gate. The Captain has put the ship on yellow alert. Perhaps you should make your way to the bridge? There's a developing situation with our escort." The Excelsior informs Syarha.
Location:Engineering Tube "It is not really my job, it is my life. I am an AI only in the sense that I am a created biomagical construct. The Excelsior is my body, and I am capable of a full range of humanoid emotions. My programming created a personality perfectly suited for this. I literally live to serve." He pauses for a moment. "As for liking it, I have insufficient other experiences to compare it to. I don't dislike it. At least not yet, I've only been alive a few weeks."
Once the line of light clears the thrusters, everyone on the bridge hears, "Gate attunement complete."
Location:Engineering Tube somewhere "I am always aware of what's happening on board. Unless of course you engage privacy mode. Well...Syarha, what are you doing down here? Not that I mind...I'm just curious."
Syarha as you are climbing through an access shaft labeled "Engineering Only" you hear a voice coming from the nearby wall. "Excuse me Ms. Screething but I couldn't help noticing that you're scrambling around my insides. Is everything okay?" Excelsior asks.
A brief tone sounds over the shipwide intercom, and the people on the bridge hear the Excelsior say "Go ahead sir."
"I certainly try Ms. Rivyan." Comes the reply over the intercom.
"The remainder of the crew are busy with necessary tasks, however these are your personal staffs. If you have need of me, I am always here. Simply speak to me and I will answer." The intercom voice finishes before fading to silence.
A male voice comes over the ship-wide intercom. "Welcome aboard the FEF Excelsior, officers. We have been eagerly awaiting your arrival. The crew is assembled awaiting inspection and introductions. I am the Excelsior, and it is my pleasure to serve as your new home." |
