He heard Hall tell him that he was on his way, then looked to Doogan as she reported to him: Hull weakening in two areas, Sheilds fading and only had 2 1/2 hours until total shield loss. He nodded, knowing about the status of the shields, since he was monitoring Tactical systems
When she suggested that they pray, he looked at her strangely. He doubted praying would do any good, unless it as to let whatever god or goddess they believed in know that they would be joining then soon
He noticed the strange smell as well as the yellow vapory gas that seemed to be seeping from the consoles, Doogan and even himself "What..?" He started to ask before the doors opened and he heard Colonel's Hall's voice issue orders to Doogan and himself
He turned back to his controls "Yes, Sir" He acknowleged Hall then sent a distress signal to the Terrasect to appraise them of the situation. "USS Terrasect, this is the Tarawa. Our situation is worsening.." He explained what has occured and what is happening now "Please Hurry." He added at the end, sending the Distress/Update message, then adding a general distress message on all frequencies

She heard Moon ask what when he saw yellow smoke and smelled it, then Col Hall entered giving orders "I'll reroute what I can Sir power outages through the ship" she says as she reroutes power to the Shields "We have a few minutes more on the Shields Sir put not much" she reports
She looks at Col Hall "Running scans on the yellow gas now Sir" she Adds

He was looking out the view screen trying to think of away out this, the years of Combat during the war, enabled his Command to come through in side he was worried they may not get out of this, but on the outside he was calm and doing his job.
He was pleased that Moon and Doogan were as calm on the outside, the crew don't need seeing the Command staff falling apart Keep Me Posted he says to both

After sending the distress message, he looked toward Hall, who was looking at a veiwscreen. He could tell he was worried about the outcome, or was that his own concerns he was feeling?
"Yes, Sir" He simply said after Hall asked to keep him posted

Incomming message from the Terrasect
"Tarawa, This is the Terrasect, Captain Grabfoot Of~Two Dawns speaking. We have been monitoring and picked up the new sensor readings and the plight you are currently in. We have increased our own speed to make haste in your assistance. Our current ETA is now 1 hour and 20 minutes. Terrasect out."

Recieving the message from the Terrasect, he looks to Colonel Hall "Sir, The Terrasect is responding to our distress message." He patched the message through, so Hall and the bridge could hear

"Sickbay to Bridge. Analysis shows the yellow gas is the same composition as the cloud. There are traces of it leaving persons, and equipment. When it entered the ship we didn't sense it but it's visible now and releasing an odor. If I were to take a guess, I'd say it's leaving in a hurry."
She switched channels as she heard Greyhouse's comm.
"That's a difficult question to answer right now, Doctor. On one hand a larger red cloud has appeared and seems to be consuming the yellow one that enveloped us previously however, once it's done with the cloud, it might consider us the next course."

He was about to open a intership commlink when he heard Hall mention setting up the self destruct. He glanced at Hall with a raised brow I should be in command of this vessel and yet I'm not, and now the ship could be destroyed? passed through his mind but then he thought if it could save the Terrasect from also becoming trapped, he would initiate auto destruct
After a moment, he nodded slightly "Yes, sir." he said verbally, then opened the comm link "For those of you still awake, if you have any ideas to free us from the situation, contact the bridge and offer your suggestion." He then closed the comm link

ACTION
Consoles stop sparking, Lights dim, some control panels lose power altogether, ship to ship communications is still working but losing power. Lt. Doogan is keeping track of the Red Cloud which now envelopes the Tarawa and shows its consuming the ships energy. Now, we have 1/2 hour until shields fail. Lt. Moon spots a ship on sensors but the Cloud is draining power, reducing sensor's range and effectiveness

Terrasect Action
Time, being a constant, can seem like it can go very slow or very fast, depending on the situation. In this case, it is going very slow, but it does pass. With Considerable risk to the Terrasect and a strain on warp and transwarp drives, The Terrasect comes in hot and fast ETA is now estimated at 10 minutes. Sensors would indicate the red cloud that is now enveloping the Tawara is draining the ship of it's remaining energy The Captain asks his crew to find a different power source, to encourage the cloud to disengage from the Tarawa. In the meantime, down in the Shuttle bay, Thunder powers up and leaves the shuttle bay, engaging his transwarp drive and moving ahead of the Terrasect to run interference. Once Thunder arrives, he would emit a couple of short power bursts to get the cloud's attention and draw the cloud away from the Tarawa

Melvin stands at Tactical, sighing as the new readings came in, despite his control board starting to dim and lose power "The red cloud has encompassed us. Starting to lose Tactical control and sensors."
A couple moments later, he looks at the displays again, then does a double take "Colonel, I am picking up a small craft, about the size of a large shuttle. I am unable to identify it. All I can determine is it's not federation."
( think "Flight of the Navigator". lol )

Terrasect and Tarawa? Action
The cloud, after a few moments, loses interest in the Tarawa and starts to go after Thunder who is showing he has more energy to snack on. As the cloud approached, Thunder begins to back up, still giving off short bursts of power to entice the cloud to follow him.
Terrasect comes out of transwarp, back into warp, then slows to impulse, then slows to a stop. Terrasect engages an anti-tachyon beam into the rift, sensors indicate it would take about 10 minutes to full closer.
Thunder, continuing to entice the cloud and backing up, backs up and disappears through the rift himself along with the red cloud a couple moments later
Captain Two Danws feel nothing from the neural link as he turned toward Thelis and asks for a status report on the Tarawa.
A few minutes later, the rift is starting to close. One minute to complete closure, no sign of Thunder.
30 seconds to go and the rift is still closing
10 seconds..
Five seconds.. Thunder bursts through the small opening of the rift as the final seconds tick down, reporting that the cloud is too far away from the rift that it cannot return in time.
Sensors now starting to show that the rift is now, finally, closed[/b]
