Beyond the above ETA there was not much else to report until the science and engineering folks got their probes ready that they could launch then.

Marlaa smiled at the XO and have to the center chair to the higher ranking officer. “I think passive might be the best course of action. Especially if we aren’t sure how it’ll react.”

Settling herself in her own chair to the right of where the XO now day, she nodded. “And I think everyone’s ready, regardless. Is there a way to boost the probes so they can read sooner and from a greater distance? Just in case, of course.” She nodded to the screen between them, where the chart showed their progress.

Sifeda nodded in agreement, “That is a good suggestion. I will pose the question to Lieutenants Buchanan and Baptiste since they are starting the work on the probes and get their feedback.” She tapped her commbadge and said, =^= Itri to Baptiste and Buchanan. Is there a way to boost the probes so they can read sooner and from a greater distance?=^=

Sifeda noticed the ETA update then said, “Okay, well we will be arriving in the star system soon.” As she sat in the center chair there was a thoughtful look on her face. We need to make sure we are prepared when we do arrive. We are obviously at some point are going to have to go on planet. We should prepare a preliminary away team. I think we need personnel from each department.” She tapped her commbadge, =^=Lieutenant Anders when you get a chance could you stop by the bridge?=^=

=^= On my way ma’am, everything ok? =^=

Sifeda activated her commbadge again, =^=Yes, Lieutenant. Everything is fine. Our ETA is approximately 36 hours and I’d like you on the bridge to discuss the logistics of assembling an away team. No rush. You can report to the bridge after Captain Freeman and his wife are settled in.=^=

Itri, XO

Just as the XO was making their call the NE at comms behind them spoke up, “..Ma’am? We got a hail coming in from the Volgograd. They got a live update feed on current developments in the J17 system. Shall I put it on screen?” She asked.

Without turning around, Sifeda a nod followed by, “Yes, please.”, as she tuned her eyes to the display screen.

Itri, XO

Now that his JO was tasked with assisting the science and engineering departments with setting up the probe, the CMO made his way to the Bridge in an effort to see first-hand data once it was launched. There were still too many questions left unanswered, but it appeared that their only option after a probe was to make their way into the system and make contact in some form. Doctor Stacey had his prosthetist working on a few possible options based on known reptilian species that the Federation had encountered. He believed the models could be easily configured once a visual representation of the Forseth was made.

LtJG Stacey gave a subtle nod to the Counselor and XO as he slide into the mission specialist chair, turning his attention to what just appeared on the viewscreen.

As the Dr. Stacey sat in his chair, Sifeda quickly turned to him and said, “I am glad you are here. Lieutenant Anders is on his way, and after we view the incoming transmission on screen, I need to discuss with both of you the logistics of the away team since Anders…or myself will be leading them and you, Dr. Stacey, could be potentially fitting them for prosthetics. Hopefully the probes can provide sufficient data whether it is visual or descriptive so you can refine your concept. If not we must think of other ways to get on planet undetected and observe them.” She began to get a small headache after thinking about how hard it would be to accomplish the latter. It was her hope all the stars in whatever universe they were in would line up perfectly and they could get on planet with some realistic and functional prosthetics. She leaned her forehead in the left palm of her hand for a moment then she fixed her eyes back on the view screen as she said to the NE at the comms console, “We are still waiting for that on screen transmission, Ensign. Any day now.” Even though anxiety was creeping up on her, she kept her Romulan face on.
