Am I correct that we only have the Queen's intercom for communication? The other comms are jammed and fuzzy? Or monitored?

Well, timing is everything...
I was composing a post sending Nālani and Ulrika to the outer airlock with the intention of cycling the drone out to see what was happening, but events overtook that.
Glad to be on the ship now.

I'm assuming both jammed and monitored.

The powerplant can be started from the plant room on deck 7 (under direct supervision) or the bridge (remotely)

The drone is still useful!

We should have enough emergency power to start the plant.

Reven takes a look at the powerplant and considers the Captain's orders...Cold start from shutdown for 2 years (or more)...There will have been seep from the fuel pipes over that time so they will need a flush and then the ignitor circuit needs to settle to get the lasers to operate effectively...and Reven stars moving deliberately about the room - pulling levers and twisting knobs
Engineering (Power) roll from Reven please. Reven gets +1 for skill and +3 for EDU. He has to Hurry for -2 but that is probably better than the ship getting destroyed by staying still. Roll please!
The rest of the Crew will need to make sure he's not interrupted for the many turns he's going to be doing this...

Summary
Bridge:
Indrani and Noor. Cameras on the ship can be checked, one at a time (Checking one camera is one action), or reporting what you see out of the window (also 1 action). The bay's power remains off and connectivity to the bay network has been cut too when you disconnected. No-one on this deck has vacc-suits.
Crew Deck:
Miya (Possibly armed) + 2 Drivers (unarmed) in Indrani's cabin with door sealed
Assana (in Vacc Suit and armed) in Nalani's cabin with door sealed. She's plugged into the ships computer network too if you want her to do anything.
Inspector in Maggie's cabin (armed) with door sealed.
Tiberius and Ulrika and the Camera Drone are in the general crew area...not vacc-suited...no actions planned
Pranit, Maggie and Arnwulf are in the Crew Deck airlock planning to head out next turn. Could I please have an initiative roll for each.
Cargo Deck:
Nalani is just exiting the lift, heading to get her weaponry and ensure the safety of Hoshiko
Power Deck:
Reven is still getting the engine started...He's about 25% of the way through the process

Attackers Summary
From what Noor and Indrani have reported
Roof of the Bay. Unknown number of attackers. The bay is slowly cranking open.
Bow of the ship. 4 ropes with people climbing down, one of whom may have dropped their gun!
Somewhere to starboard of the ship (n.b. left hand side(i.e. on the turret side) in the floorplans)...more ropes.

"There's a little port left in the bottle."
Of course, left and right are relative to forward and aft...

Given that port is on your left hand when looking forward, it is on your right when looking aft - i.e. down upon the floor plans. Confused?
Please wait a moment and I'll mystify further.

You are years too late if you're trying to confuse me. I have a driver's license from the state of Confusion...

Actions for turn 5 of the boarding attempt please.
Pre-Determined stuff and starting summary...
...The Cargo bay is decompressing
...Reven is bringing the engines online and looking to make it quicker
...Assana & Ulrika are trying to stop Arnwulf getting shot by the enemy's flanker (Back-lighting the guy on the crew-deck roof with the drone)
...There is an assault team in the Freezer Deck that has control of the airlock and possibly has access to the bottom (passenger) lift.
...Noor has Maggie trapped in the crew-deck airlock (Blue-on-Blue)
...Arnwulf is running out of "oomph" outside due to the number of hits received.
...Tiberius and Indrani are in the lift on the way to the Freezer deck (Deck 4) - just passing Passenger Deck (Deck 3). Both their minor actions for the turn will be "Wait for lift to get to next deck" [unless their minor actoon is to press the stop button on deck 3)
