"We have full power to navigation, life support and propulsion. Our offensive and defensive tactical systems are only operating at 65% efficiency. Most auxiliary systems are still offline as the EPS relays were fried after being hit by the beam. Engineering is on it but it will be some time before we are running at full capacity. I would expect another 16-24 hours at least." The young ensign at OPS reported.

"So we keep da ship out of combat." He said calmly. "He said with a nod. "Please pass my complements to the Engineering and repair crews and That da Commadore will be apraised as well Vonce we have her back."
Having only left the bridge a half hour ago, Jennifer arrived back on the bridge except this time she was not in uniform. Instead she was adorned in a thin black silk lace teddy with thin spaghetti straps, one of which had slipped down off her shoulder and was now draped across her upper arm. The garment dropped only to the upper half of her thighs and was pushed up slightly by the bunching of the material under her crossed arms over her chest. Her normally well-kept blonde hair was now a mess and strayed all about her head. Her eyes, were bloodshot from exhaustion, swollen rings had formed around them as it appeared she had been crying for quite sometime. She sniffled as she stepped onto the bridge, her bottom lip quivering. The woman appeared to be in great distress.
Munich could not keep the eyes from enlarging; the sight of a woman in very scant clothing, he had to ; in that nano second of dilberating how far out of the training this scene had become. A woman with signs of distress; an Officer that is supposed to be his acting Executive Officer had shown up in this attire. Munich did not think as he crossed the Bridge while removing his jacket to drape over the woman.
Come along Commander I think this should be taken up in the Ready Room ?" He offered. "Ensign Delgato could you assist me with this please?" He Started to lead her from the Turbo Lift to the Captain's ready room.
"It's so cold..." Tate quivered as she stared blankly ahead of her. She began to shiver and her skin became covered in goosebumps.
Munich Wanted to put an arm around her but thought it best not to do so; he motioned subtlely for Maria to help her along as his coat was all he could really give the Commander the aid she needed.
Maria hurried over to Jennifer and put an arm around her. "Are you okay?" she asked. "Do you need a doctor?"
"S...she was so cold, like death." Jennifer responded but not to the question asked. Tate was visibly traumatized by whatever or whomever had spooked her.
"She? Who is this she?" Maria asked.
Jennifer looked at Maria. "My quarters....she was waiting for me." Jennifer whimpered as she continued to shudder in fear.
"Who?" Maria asked again.
She looked at Munich. "Send security to her quarters. Find out what happened."
"Can I get some water please." Jennifer spoke up looking at both Munich and Delgado. "I really need some water."
"Intruder Alert Commander Tate's Quarters on Da double." Munich barked into his Communicator. "Consider person violent." He warned security." He moved with Maria and Tate. "Ve will get her Vater and secure her in Da ready Room." Tapping his Comm badge. "Medical team to Captain's ready Room, get Doctor Drani up here for this please."
Maria nodded and went to the replicator to get Jennifer a glass of water, hoping the doctor would not be long. She gave the glass of water to the woman. "Can you tell us what h appened?"
Jennifer grasped the glass with both hands quickly chugging the contents. She looked back to Maria wiping her eyes with the sleeve of the jacket. "I went back to my quarters, I got changed, crawled into bed...." Her voice trailed off as she became visibly upset, tears streaming from her eyes. "She was there. She started touching me, my legs. I think she tried to take my clothes off. Her touch, it was so cold but...intimate." Jennifer said nearly choking as she felt ashamed of herself.
"It's okay," Maria assured her. "Hans has notified security. What did this woman look like?"
Jennifer swallowed as she tried to recall her memory. "It was dark. She was petite, like me. I didn't see much else. She blindfolded me when she kissed me. Can I have more water please?" She asked holding the glass out to Maria.
Maria nodded and got her another glass of water and gave it to Jennifer.
Drani entered the bridge, with a field medical kit slung across her shoulder, to see a barely dressed woman being consoled by two other officers. She sensed the woman's fear in the turbolift on the way to the bridge. She approached and knelt down to come eye level with Tate, who was sitting and grinned at her. "What happened?" she asked, as she flipped open her medical tricorder and began a baseline medical scan.
"There was an intruder in my quarters waiting for me. When I got into bed, she violated me." Jennifer replied curling herself into a ball as she tried to hide as much skin as she could.
