Once the shuttle touched down gently upon the hunk of ship the magnetic locks on the underbelly engaged keeping the shuttle level with the drifting chunk of the ship. They would need to EVA walk a short 20ft to the nearest entry point to begin their scans. The radiation levels here were high but their suits, and shuttle, and once they were inside the ship chunk would protect them long as they did not stay more then a day or so here.

“Is there anything I should be on the lookout for in particular?” Spenn queried.

Lieutenant Spenn
Chief Medical Officer

Lieutenant Alex Cross stood near the EVA staging area alongside Lieutenant Spenn, both officers having just completed their final suit integrity and systems checks. Diagnostic indicators glowed green across their suit displays, confirming environmental seals, communications, propulsion units, and emergency systems were functioning within operational parameters.

Cross glanced toward the assembled team before speaking.

“All right, listen carefully. This EVA is a reconnaissance and assessment operation, not a salvage operation. Our primary objectives are to survey the area, gather sensor data, and identify any immediate hazards. If you encounter anything unexpected—structural instability, elevated radiation, biological contamination, or unexplained energy signatures—you report it immediately.”

His eyes moved across the team. “No heroics. No unnecessary risks. We bring everyone home.” He then turned his attention to Spenn.

“Doctor, I want you monitoring all EVA personnel throughout the operation. Keep a close eye on radiation exposure levels, environmental contaminants, suit integrity telemetry, and any unusual biometric readings. If you see neurological irregularities, signs of radiation uptake, physiological stress responses, or anything outside acceptable parameters, I want to know immediately.” Cross paused briefly.

“And when we’re back aboard, every member of this team gets a full medical screening before returning to duty. I don’t care if they feel perfectly fine. Radiation exposure, exotic particles, and other contaminants can have delayed effects, and we’re not taking chances.”

After receiving acknowledgments from the team, Cross tapped the control panel beside the airlock and opened a channel to the bridge.

=^= Cross to Captain Logan. The EVA team has completed suit checks and final mission preparations. We are preparing to depart the ship and conduct a close-range survey of the target area. Objectives are reconnaissance, environmental assessment, and collection of sensor data. Lieutenant Spenn will be monitoring the team’s medical telemetry throughout the operation, and we will maintain continuous communications with the ship. =^=

He glanced toward the outer hatch.

=^= We will proceed cautiously and report any significant findings immediately. Requesting permission to commence EVA operations, sir. =^=

Cross closed the channel and looked back toward the team.

“Verify communications, emergency transporter locks, and tether systems one final time before departure. If anything appears questionable, we stop and correct it before proceeding.”

His voice remained calm and steady. “Stay alert. Stay methodical. Good data isn’t worth a casualty.” Cross gave a final nod toward the airlock.

“Let’s get to work.”

Counselor Alex Cross

OOC: I did acknowledge the suit check, I split my post around someone elses.

IC: Ollie double checked the couple things the counselor had asked and readjusted the phasers he had brought with him. He hoped he wouldn’t be needing them but leaving without them would be like the medical team not bringing a med kit. He glanced over to the Counselor Cross and nodded his readiness to proceed. It had been a while since he had wandered around “outside” across a ship’s hull. This was going to be an adrenaline rush.

Hegush pulled each tool out before slotting back into their places again, checking that each one was secure but that he’d be able to pull them out quickly if he needed to. He tapped his phaser, hoping he wouldn’t have to use it. He wasn’t much of one for heroics, he liked to leave that to those whose jobs were to play the hero. If need be though he was a reasonable shot, and a fairly reasonable boxer. The first because he had made sure he was and the second because he just liked boxing.

While everyone was preparing themselves, he stretched out his legs making sure to ease out any stiffness in them. He wasn’t as young as some of the others, so it never hurt to make sure he was limber. He was also testing his movement ability in his suit. It had been a long time since he’d been in one.
