When the attack began it was the first objective of the crew to get to their combat stations and fend off the enemy. Atreides on the other hand was preoccupied for the moment in medical, going through a routine workup with several of the ship medical staff as they took a look at his cybernetic hookups and other healing wounds. In fact he was still attached to most of the diagnostic machinery when the first strike happened and many of the staff began their hectic task of detaching him from the rest of the machines.
"Damn it, can you guys work faster? Get me the hell down from here." The platform shook slightly as an impact from enemy fire struck the ships outer shell. Several vials and unsecured tools fell from the shelves as anther quick impact struck and he sat up in his seat with several of the connection tubes tugging lightly back on his shoulder and leg. Several technicians come up to him as the table lowers and they work fast to unhook each of the hoses and cables as he stood up from his position. "Good to go sir." one said as they all withdrew from him at once and he stepped away from the table to gather his things. His communicator was blinking away with the notices that were going on all across the ship and he tapped it to open a line. "Engineering, this is Atreides.. get all batteries to full power, stop all service activities and keep as much power to the plating as you can. Prepare the Aries for combat.."
A large blast on the outside rocked many of the inner sections of the ship, causing several members to fall and everyone had to take time to pick each other up after the impact.
