Dialing around the radio frequencies Baumann soon got a signal. He wasn’t sure who it belonged to as it was on an unmarked band at the high end of the spectrum. =/\= This is Lt Mallory. If you are receiving this it means you are on a friendly frequency. Follow this signal for information and aide. This message will repeat. =/\= It said then began a loop. The interesting thing is it was in English not the accented bits of garble language they had picked up on the radio as well from the two warring factions.

Jonathan raised his eyebrow. “So the question is, which side are we on right now?”

Naomi released her scanner into the XO’s care as she rose to her feet and let both males work. As the XO took out the batteries and strung them together to boost the single scanner, Baumann tinkered with the frequencies. Likely to find a channel to monitor the planet’s communications. Feeling like a spare body, Noami moved toward Sh’gryin where she felt more useful. She crouched down as she observed the wounded pilot.

“So, how is this bloke doing?” She hoped there was nothing serious.

With an answering groan the alien human like figure was stirring coming around slowly but surely.

“Commander,” Atozi said throwing the hood back over her head. “The pilot is coming around, please be careful with your questions I cant say for sure what head injuries he may have sustained unless we get him to a proper medical facility. Atozi knew it was in their best interest that the Pilot see a human and not an Andorian for the first time and she was willing unless his condition got worst to take a step back.

Kenneth slipped over to sit next to the pilot, waiting till he seemed almost awake before speaking. “Hey, are you alright?”

Fleet, Helm

Jonathan looked over at Baumann. “Take the lead. This is definitely more of your specialty then mine.” Give him a machine and he would be right at home, but having to carefully question someone, definitely not his strong suit.

Cmdr. McKnight - XO

The pilot murmured something in the alien tongue, before he blinked slowly and blurry eyed looked to Fleet. “..You speak the Higher tongue..” He said half in question half in statement in his own confused tone. Aheming he blinked again, “..I am....I am fine I think, sore and bruised. I guess those new ejection seats really did work.” He mused mostly his statement to himself with a wane smile.

Baumann moved closer to the pilot, motioning the XO to keep monitoring the comm relay. “I’m sorry to say that your aircraft has been destroyed. But can you tell us your name? Perhaps we can assist you in getting you back to your unit.” Baumann said softly, giving the pilot a comforting smile.

Baumann, Intel

”..Name is Ry’an Peters, 21st interceptor squadron. Out of Base Marge. I doubt anyone is left at the base, enemy southern forces were invading as we took off and missile strikes were inbound.” He said rubbing his head.

Then clearing more his eye sight he looked at the two near him. “..Where you civies out of?” He inquired cautiously.

GM CockRoach

Baumann smiled a regretful smile and shrugged slightly. “All over, really. We’ have all been displaced by the fighting. We have found safety in numbers, so we look out for each other as best we can. Tell me, sir… how goes the war? We haven’t heard anything except the warnings and the odd bits of reports for some time. Please sir… is there any hope?” he asked with a slight hint of sorrow in his voice and a look of soft desperation as he handed the man a canteen of water.

Baumann, Intel

The pilot took a sip absorbing the story the group gave a moment. “..Those MACARM bastards sneak attacked us is whats the news. We retaliated as planned, but the damage has been done. Mutual destruction on both sides, and there’s still smaller scale nukes and antimatter warheads flying. By the Greyhound saviors if only they hadn’t left us. If only their enlightenment hadn’t been forgotten by those greedy with power among the MACARM to the south..” He said with a sigh.

Atozi eyes widened at the sound of current nuclear weapons being used and immediately look for the tricorder they had kept behind so she could scan for radiation, “Sir we should be wary of radiation poisoning, nuclear weapons…” She said the next words in a whisper but anyone near her would hear her say, “Barbaric weapons of mass destruction, Ne’ethra” The word meaning something like fools in Andorian.
