Meanwhile on the surface, Quentin, aided by Keneth Nakada, Charlotte DeBarres, and Chief of Security Artinius Serinus, set about repairing the Base's water treatment facility. Greeted by a shifty "overseer" and his crew, Quentin's away team gained a perimeter and started about the work. Work of which was lessened by the unexpected help from some of the sympathetic Base staff. But soon the masquerade was cast away and the "overseer" and his crew were revealed to be pirates! In league with Captain Ghant, who had launched a daring attack on the interior of the Arrow FROM the interior of the Arrow, backed up by her ship the Razor's Edge (a Maquis Heavy Raider). | Meanwhile on the surface, Quentin, aided by Keneth Nakada, Charlotte DeBarres, and Chief of Security Artinius Serinus, set about repairing the Base's water treatment facility.

Quentin and his team repelled the pirates and took them into custody, alerting the Theta authority to their presence. The team were then picked up by the shuttlecraft piloting of Chloe Waters and Commander Eerie. | Quentin and his team repelled the pirates and took them into custody, alerting the Theta authority to their presence. The team were then picked up by the shuttlecraft piloting of Chloe Waters and Commander Eerie. As the combined teams sped away from the planet, they were greeted by the priate attack already in progress. The Edge had started firing upon the Arrow and the crew worried their approach had been compromised. But Chloe Waters had a plan. One even Quentin couldn't have predicted. | ||
Measuring the active shield harmonics of the Raider and modulating their own with the readouts, Waters' turned the shuttlecraft into a sort of "super bounce ball" (terminology taken from Quentin Collins' personal far more colorful log), pinging hard off the Radier's shield, and launching them unharmed into the Arrow's besieged shuttlebay. From there the team went their separate ways with Collins dispatching Serinus to link up with his Security forces, Nakada to the Engine Room, and the rest with him to take the Bridge stations. | |||
After a short, slightly hectic trip to the Bridge, the officers took their stations, aiming to take the fight to the pirate's Raider. Unfortunately, the ship had been boarded by several boarding parties, one of which trying their hardest to breach the Bridge. But thanks to some quick thinking and shooting by the Bridge Crew, (along with some timely introduction from the factions represented in the conference earlier) the Edge was knocked from the battle. Just in time for the would-be-pillagers to blow a hole through the door. | |||
Quentin acted face, intercepting them before they could swing their swords or aim their phasers. Directing their eyes toward the Main Viewer, he attempted a bold social gambit. Appealing to their greed, he pointed out that their ship was adrift and heavily damaged. All of their loot, from across a number of hauls was in danger of burning away. What good would taking the Arrow be in the wake of such loss? The pirates held for a moment...before retreating to their ships, marking an effective retreat. The crew then started the business of repairing the ships, tending their wounded, and looking toward the incoming shore leave. | |||
It is of the opinion of these programs that Quentin Collins continues to perform adequately in his duties, providing the ship and her Captain a competent First Officer and decently talented overall officer. However, it is also the opinions of these programs that he continues to act with a sort of recklessness, assuming the best of the people he comes into contact with until they show him otherwise. It is of the opinion of these programs that he start to establish a more pragmatic, more detached view of his subordinates in order to gain the clarity (and practicality) required for higher Command. | |||
