Chapter 4 A Fault in the Ship

Darkness, pain, and wet was the feeling on the brig of the DDF Defense, Well that would be the feeling if the bridge crew were conscious enough to feel. The bridge of the Defense looked like a tornado had blew through the whole place and back. The armored bridge doors were bent the armored glass was shattered and the crew were strewn about like discarded bodes. Nothing was moving let alone show signs of life.

Of course a little bit of water would not keep a DDF Sailor down for long as some of the crew started to gain consciousness. One of the first to do so was Lieutenant Andrew.

Lieutenant Andrew was your average hight with a little bit of wight, what has come in vary helpful in many past situations, and all around your average guy he was and is a long friend of commander Holden. His normal battle stations is down in the CIC (the command in control) of the ship. How ever the commander likes to command from the bridge of the ship rather than the CIC. Andrew would be part of the damage control assigned to the CIC if and when the computers would go down or anything needed to be fix. most of his time is spent in the depths of the ship so in his time off he spends time in the bridge so he can see the outside world and chat this his friend, a choice he regrets heavily at the moment.

"Ugg, what the fuck just happened?" Andrew said to no one in particular. "We did roll over from a rogue wave hit right or am i just hallucinating?" He said a bit louder.

"No, we did get hit and we did roll" said Nick. "However i do not know how long we were out."

Andrew sighed "I see, Commander what is our next move?". No replay was given. Andrew looked around the bridge as crew still tried to get up or even think. "Fuck me" he stated. " SOUND OFF BY RANK" he shouted. While normally the highest ranking officer in the compartment could only call such a command given the situation Andrew figured it was a good time to know who is here and who is missing.

"Seaman Recruit John V Bart, Secondary helms man Present"

"Seaman Recruit Josh Allan, Telegraph handler Present!"

"Seaman Recruit Mike Zimmer, Port side 3rd watch Present"

"Seaman Recruit Al Decker, Port side 2nd watch present!"

"Seaman Nick Ships Helms man Present!" Other crew members called out to report there status as well. only 5 are missing from the bridge crew.

Andrew takes a look at who is here and who is missing. "ok so all of starboard watch is MIA and so is the XO and Commander" mumbled Andrew. "Fucking hell. Call around the ship see if they fell some where." a quire of Yes sir flew out as the crew went off to sound the ship. "And find me out where the fuck we are." What the hell just happened wonder Andrew.

"Agg my head" a in pain commander Holden Grunted as he slowly gain conciseness. Picking his head up he takes a look around. taking the sights he sees trees behind him sand to the left and right, and the ocean in front of him. "oh a beach. WAIT WHAT!?" he quickly shoots up and takes a look around. "the hell am i?"

"How should i know." came a groggy voice from the left of him. Face down in the sand was Acting XO Vanderploge. "last time i checked being hit in the face with a rogue wave was a death sentence.

"Well you should know by now how we seem the cheat death" replayed a amused Commander.

"also get up"

"yea' yea getting up sir" Groaned Vanderploge. "So what the plan sense we seem to be shipped wrecked."

"Well simple, We check the place out and see how bad our situation is." replayed Holden

"Why not teleport us back to the ship?" asked vanderploge.

"Feel the air. You can easily feel the difference in magic here, if i were to try and use some form of magic let alone something as big as teleporting there is no telling what might happen." Complained Holden.

"Well sir, i'm not as well trained nor connected to magic as you are so i dont feel anything." Vanderploge responded.

"Lets just say that i'm having to fight the flow of magic here as it seems to want to force it's self in to me." Informed Holden.

"So you cant use you magic?" asked Vanderploge.

"Not un till i figure out how to mend or my magic to sync with this worlds magic, and no i dont know how long that will be." replied Holden.

"You say were in another world, i take it that its a world we never been to." vanderploge asked. "Because if that is the case then we are so screwed because we dont have any DDF units to help up."

"More importantly" intrepid Holden "something could have happen to Defense."

"Shit, Well i guess we should start looking around." Stated Vanderploge

"Agreed"
