Georgie skidded around the corner of the corridor and came to a halt outside the main environmental control room. The red lights of the red alert bathed the environment in a crimson glow and she was glad of the worklight she carried in her kit. On a technical level she understood why they had red lights during an emergency - not least for their reduced power consumption - but they did make fiddling around with complicated circuitry a lot more difficult.
The doors to environmental control opened automatically for her and she went inside, surprised that no-one else had beaten her there. Mind you, with the sudden damage she had been able to see they'd sustained it wouldn't have surprised her if the engineering damage control team had more immediate concerns. Without the oxygen recycling they'd struggle to last more than an hour, but with the sheilds down or massive holes in the ship or an imminent warp core breach they could have mere minutes.
She really hoped that they weren't facing one of the above.
Puling open one of the fold-away consoles, she brought up the full list of damage to assess the situation. There was more information available direct from the source than the computer had sent to her quarters, and she quickly put herself together a priority worklist that she could pass to anyone else who joined her. Two hydrospanners were better than one, after all.
"Button to main engineering," she said, not sure who was on duty, though she suspected that at a time like this, everyone would be. "I'm patching through the complete failures and damages list from environmental control, as it stands at the moment." She tapped at the console and sent the list down as she talked. "I'm estimating five minutes or less for the CO2 scrubbers, ten for oxygen recycling, just under twenty for climate control and I'm not entirely sure what's caused the malfunction with the antigrav, so maybe half an hour for that."
With one hand she snapped open her case and with the other pulled open one of the access hatches to one of the larger pieces of equipment in the room.
"I think we've blown a few lighting circuits on the lower decks as well," she said, "though the power flow in those areas is so irregular it's a bit hard to tell." Not that it matter too much when they were on emergency power anyway, but Georgie always liked to give a full report if she could. "I'm starting on the respiratory systems, so it might start to get a little cold in places until I can get to the climate systems."
The PADD she kept in her work kit beeped and she glanced down at it.
"Ensigns Collins and Frederickson have reported in at auxiliary stations one and two," she said, pleased that the other two members of her small team had responded quickly to the alert. She highlighted key tasks from her worklist on the console and sent them out so they'd know what work she was expecting them to carry out. "They've got their tasks, but any help you can send me here would be much appreciated."
She wasn't holding her breath, though.
