As she worked Rende took in what they knew, both from the initial information gathered before they came down and now as the events unfolded. Something was nagging at her, and over the centuries (wouldn’t the rest of the ship have a heart attack if they knew) she had learned to trust her gut. Dropping her voice to a just barely audible whisper (as this activated her person to person comm unit), Eldorin would hear her in his ear, Eldorin, isn’t this a little reminiscent of say, Belfast 1974? One piece of hold-over El-Aurian technology that she and Eldorin still used. After all these years it just didn’t feel right to not be a voice inside each others’ ears.

He cleared his throat and spoke in an equally low volume and he breathed in slowly before exhaling, “It does, and here I thought we put that life behind us long ago. Rende what are we going to do?” The implication was not that they were out of options or that there was some woeful circumstance they were in, but that he wanted to double check with his wife before they started reverting to their old ways.

Naomi appreciated Kenneth’s comforting gesture. Any additional conversation was interrupted by the XO’s orders and their position shifting to the abandoned base. She searched for the bags remaining while the doctor and Kenneth assisted the pilot. It wasn’t easy in the darkness as her hands scrambled through dense leaves, twigs, and other matters she rather not know the origins of. Once satisfied she had everything, she shouldered hers and any remaining bags onto her person. At this point, she regretted skipping physical training early in her education. Naomi then followed the others to the base that made her hair stand on end.

Her eyes scanned the surroundings as one of the men began to cut through the fence. The sounds seemed to echo endlessly into the local scene and put her more on edge, her bottom lip bitten in silence. When it was her turn, she ducked in then back out. The movement was so quick, she narrowly avoided snagging her bag on the sharp edges of the gap.

“Be careful you two.” She lingered a bit longer on Kenneth than the XO when she spoke.

She gestured for the others to follow behind as she struck out first, her figure low, and quietly darted toward the building. As she kept the darker path, she perked up her attention to survey her surroundings. Silently she prayed for all this to be her imagination and nothing more.

As the rest of the group moved into the shadows of the main building, Jonathan helped the pilot sit down, with his back to the building. He let go of the comm array he had been carrying as well, and set it against the wall.

“So, why were you out this way?” Jonathan asked the pilot. “It looked like you were pretty out matched from what we could see on the ground.”

”..As I said the base I was assigned too was under attack, we were ordered to abandon base and make for the Port Sand naval station to regroup. I was on my way there when I got jumped by those two MacArm Jets.” He said.

Eldorin had been holding back, trying his best to come at their circumstances from the point of a Starfleet officer not a mercenary. Eldorin held himself like a seasoned veteran of these sorts of missions which was in stark contract to what someone might expect the CE to do. Repairing starships was his job, not mercenary actions but it was uncanny how easily he fit into the scene. He followed quietly, not wanting to speak up as this posed a real risk of blowing his and his wife’s cover. Not to hide secrets or to be agents of another power, but of their past.

Atozi was sure the Pilot’s injuries were not serious or healing at a speed she couldn’t comprehend for now she decided to rummage in her pack for some of the protein bars she usually carried with her in emergencies and began making the rounds first starting with Baumaan, “Its a good idea to eat and drink a little while were here sir. its not much and tastes awful but it has the sufficient energy releasing ingredients to sustain you for some time.” She held out a bar.

IC: Jonathan just nodded as reached into his own pack and pulled out a canteen of water, which he held out to the pilot. “About how far is it to the station?”

Jonathan looked over towards Noami and Eldorin, “Try and get the comm array setup again, and see if we can pick up any other signals while we wait.”
