Kolowrat looked over his PaDD. He was waiting to hear back from the away team. "Damned, I wish I knew what was going on." He stated impatiently.

"Lieutenant! The station's engines are increasing power rapidly!" Wong told Kolowrat.

"What! Why? How?" He asked her.

"I don't know!" Wong shot back.

"Shepski, get them out of there!" Kolowrat ordered over the comm.

"Too late, the station put up its shields!" Wong told him.

"Shit!" Kolowrat yelled. "Pinto to Captain, I would advise you get off that station."

Harp heard the message. "Alright, things are getting a bit weird here. Go ahead and start beaming the away team up."

"That would be the problem Captain, the station's shields are up."

"What!" Harp replied, "How?"

"I don't know, you going to have to disengage them from where you're at," Kolowrat told her.

"Very well, Harp out." She replied. "Show and Kiatara, we need to turn off the shields from engineering." She told them.

It was then that one of the many standing corpses raise its corroded phaser and blasted Morrison, he quickly disintegrated with a loud scream which faded away. The corpses started to advance on the three female officers, firing their dilapidated weapons with very little accuracy.

Show ducked away. "Let's go ladies!" she called as she pulled the cover off of the nearby Jeffries tube covering before she climbed into the tube. "Anyone got a grenade?" she inquired of her party.

"Why would an away team have any grenades? We're not marines!" Harp replied as she stood by the Jefferies tube. She looked at Kiatara, "Follow Show!"

"I am from a warrior culture, I should go last," Kiatara advised Harp.

"And I'm the captain, get your ass in the tube!" Harp ordered as she continued to fire at the mass of undead bearing down on them. Kiatara did as she was told and climbed into the tube.

Harp fired a few more times before following Kiatara. The zombies were almost on Harp as she climbed up.

Show slowly moved the covering off of the wall as she pulled herself out into the empty hallway, she then dropped effortlessly to the deck in silence, she drew her sidearm as she covered both sides of the hallway. "So... the nearest hanger?" the female Caitian inquired. "Or the tactical array?"

"We need to get the shields down!" Harp yelled back. "Get to the tactical array!"

Show drew her tricorder. "Let's see. Directions.." the large Caitian commented. "This way.." before she set off, she could tell the other two females were behind her as she led them down the hallway. Suddenly she raised a fist. "Company..." she muttered before she moved to one side.

Several corpses shambled down the corridor towards them. The dead had their eyes lit with a sickly yellowish light. Several had phasers in their cadaverous hands. They slowed raised their weapons and fired. The shots were not aimed and wild.

"Dammit!" Harp yelled. "We have to get through them to the control panel!"

Kiatara took cover and opened fire with her phaser. "There is about a dozen!" She yelled as she felled one. "We can get through them if we persist."

In the communications array, the three men were trying to calibrate the system. "This looks like someone deliberately tore the equipment apart," D'Havilend noted.

"Yeah it looks like someone ripped out big chunks from the system," Dawson replied.

Del didn't say anything at all. His mind just kept wandering and he was having difficulty focusing on his task.

"Harp to D'Havilend, you and your team try and get to the tactical array." Harp was out of breath, she was obviously exerting herself. "If you can't then find a place to shelter."

"Acknowledged Captain," D'Havilend replied. He turned to his colleagues, "You heard her her. Let's go."

Dawson was the first to gather up his tools and make it to the door. As he opened it to leave he cried out in fear. He turned to run back in the room but was shot down as several beams of energy pierced his body.

Meanwhile back in the hallway. Show led her two charges towards their destination. "Ladies. We're here.." she commented before she went over to the door, she then opened it before a dozen sets of hands all seemed to deploy at once, grasping at her and pawing her uniform and fur. She hissed loudly before she drew her sidearm but she never got the chance before she was hauled bodily into the room and the door slammed shut behind her.

Show began to try to fight them off with her claws and paws, while she found herself facing against a half dozen of these zombies.

The two other female officers made their way into the room. Harp started to fire on them. Kiatara pulled her D'k tahg and entered the fray. The Klingon acted screamed and howled as she went into a frenzy. Several of them attacked her but she kept moving and swinging as if in some sort of berserk dance.

Show snarled loudly as she tried to fight the zombies off, slashing away with her rather large claws, moments later the last zombie fell to the deck, its chest had been crushed by Show's foot. The Caitian female had been splattered with ichor and body parts before she brushed herself off. "I am unhurt. I think... I will need a checkup... to be sure." the Caitian female explained.

Harp shot the last one in the room dead as she turned to Show. "We will all need to get cleared by sickbay. Get to the tactical control unit." Harp then turned to see Kiatara beating down the last of her attackers.

"Ensign Tanj, are you alright?" She asked. Kiatara snapped her head towards Harp and snarled. "At ease Ensign." Harp tried to calm her. It did little good as Kiatara still had a crazed look in her eyes. She howled as she lifted her blade and lunged at Harp. A quick shot from her phaser put the Klingon on the deck.

"Get those shields down! We need to get out of here!" She ordered Show.

Show meanwhile was over at the console, she regarded the display before she began tapping the display. "and.... shields...are down." the young Caitian female responded. "Yeah. I think that pissed 'em off..." he added as she turned to the door when suddenly several objects began crashing into the door from the outside.

The Caitian reached down as she picked up the downed Klingon female. "Guys... time we were leaving?!" Show complained.
