[Jefferies Tube, deck 4, section 23]
"Yup... completely fried." Nevir said, pulling out what was once a biogel conduit, but was now a blackened brick. The battle with the Cube was a success, but the toll on the ship was great... the sensors took more power than they expected, which combined with the MVA shorted out many of the power relays on board. They were still in good shape, but the ship needed to remain together for a while.. until they could do a refit. If they made it to the starbase, that could be done in a week. On their own, a couple of weeks at least.
"Ensign.. make note of this. Sections 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27 at least. That puts us at almost a hundred sections that need to be gutted and repaired. Donovan has his work cut out for him..." Nevir stated, crawling back out of the Jeffies tube, and stretching after being on his back for an hour. He gripped the gelpack tightly, and then went for the ladder to return to the main deck.
"You better get to Engineering and let your superior know. This ship is not separating for a long time." he said, as he made it to the deck and made for the Bridge.
[Bridge]
Entering the bridge, Nevir made short work of reaching his station, and displayed the gelpack for the Admiral.
"We did a number on the ship systems. I recommend we don't use the MVA for a long time. We're looking at a month at least of work to replace the fried components and reroute power. We'll need to keep the ship together to keep the power rerouted." he said, taking a seat and shaking his head.
"It worked.. but even the Discovery has limits. Shielding the Shran probably didn't help much, either."
