Yoshida had left sickbay after informing Spenn and Batario that they were assigned to the away team and headed to the shuttle bay. He began to prep the shuttle as he waited for the others to arrive. In his head, he began running scenarios. If there was a dampening field, the shuttle would lose power as soon as it crossed it and they wouldn’t be able to beam out. Also, if there was a dampening field, is it also creating an illusion around the Starbase? Is that why it didn’t look damaged? Yoshida tried to focus on how he could get them out of the dampening field. Perhaps they could rig the thrusters to discharge and push them back out of the field’s range. It’s a possibility. This is one of the reasons he wanted O’Nell on the away mission. If they find themselves stranded out there, him and Lt. Grey would be there best bet to make it back to the Ark Angel.

LTJG Ezeami arrived in the shuttle bay a few moments later. He had a phaser rifle slung across his back and a Type 2 phaser holstered at his side. Stepping inside the shuttle he greeted the XO and gestured to another phaser rifle he carried in his hands.

“I brought this in case you want something a little bigger than the standard.”

“Thank you, Lieutenant,” Yoshida said taking the rifle. Then he had a thought that brought a smile to his face, “Imagine if there was a mistake, and we showed up armed to the teeth? An amusing picture, eh?”

“Nothing like a first impression, or something like that,” he grinned back.

Riley entered the shuttle a few minutes later and started the preflight checks and started to make a few modifications to the shuttles shields. So if there was a dampening field they had a way to get out. He reached into his tool box and pulled out a par of glasses he has been working on. The glasses he had where something of his own design keeping the users hands as free as possible.

“Lt. O’Nell,” Yoshida said heading over to him, “I trust you have some modifications to asssist against the possibility of a dampening field?”

Riley turned in his set “ Ah Lad I have a few tricks I can throw in but the best plan I have is to surround the shuttle power core with a personal shield generator. This way where their power shielded. The damping field will have to seek through our modulating shields through our hull that will be polarized and to get through the power core personal shield. It is a multi layer plan”

Yoshida gave an understanding nod and said, “Make it so, Lieutenant. Ezeami, help me check over the shuttle while we wait for the others.”

“Aye, sir,” Ollie nodded at the XO.

He began working through the pre-flight safety checklist, pushing down the excitement that was starting to build. It had been awhile since he had been on an away mission with all of the transfer processes and this one could go either way.
