Melissa heard the edge to McKnight’s voice and knew that she was going to get a dressing down once this mission was over. She shrugged her shoulders as she and Emerson left the group, staying along the edge of the woods as much as they could before having to cross the compound toward the buildings.

With the MACO’s running off to search the compound, he looked over at the Vulcan who had just rejoined the party. “Rescue party came for their injured pilot, but Baumann got separated from the group. Naomi,” he said turning towards her. “Call the ship, see if I they can located Baumann’s life sign. I hate to admit defeat, but I don’t think we have the time to do this ourselves.”

Ari’s voice came over the comms just then, a soft whisper though fighting could be heard in background like it was a bit of ways off from her local. [O] Was going to call for regroup at the ship, but we may have a lead. Any luck there? [O]

Ari CO

[O] We made contact with a downed fighter pilot, and were starting to explore the base when we had some party crashers. A rescue team came for their downed pilot, and we had to bug out. I had sent Nissek to scan the perimeter, and I’m waiting to hear if she found anything as she just made it back to the team. [O]

Cmdr. McKnight - XO

As the XO and CO talked, Naomi leaned against a tree. Her eyes turned to Nissek then gestured for the Vulcan to adjust her hood. During the jog, it appeared to have slid and threatened to reveal her ears. The science officer had a feeling anyone who wasn’t human would not like to be discovered on this war-torn planet. Who knew what those without a clear head might do to those they considered ‘aliens’. She shuddered as the thought faded into the back of her mind.

Ken watched and listened as everything went down. He crept to the edge of their group, peering back towards the base and watching to see what was happening.

Fleet, Helm

As he waited for the Captain to reply, Jonathan gestured towards Nissek. “What did you find?”

Cmdr. McKnight - XO

A beep and chirp on their comm units came in from the Bonaventure.....

GM CockRoach

Holding up his hand to stall Nissek, Jonathan flipped his comm unit over to the Bonnie’s channel. Hopefully the Captain would be able to wait, or maybe she was relaying her message through the ship.

[O] McKnight here. [O]

Cmdr McKnight - XO

“Oh, now. What bloody now?” Naomi muttered underneath her breath, the woman’s attention turned to the XO.

Nothing could hopefully get worse as she tried to her anxiety in check and silence her racing mind.

A moment later, Ari replied to McKnight. [O]See what info you can give. We are about to see if we can get some local info as well.[O] There was the sound of a smile in her voice. [O] Check back in in an hour. We will coordinate a ship return then to see what we’ve all come up with. Captain out [O]

Ari
CO

[O] Understood. Jonathan out. [O]

Now to just see what the the Bonnie had for them.

Cmdr. McKnight - XO

=/\= Sir just to let you know Bauuman requested an emergency transport to the ship a few minutes ago, he’s safely back aboard. =/\= The NE said.

[O] Understood. [O]

Jonathan wasn’t sure if he should let out a sigh of relief that Baumann had not been captured, or a curse that he had to call for an emergency transport in the first place. But there was no time to worry about that for now.

Melissa’s training helped with making sure that they were able to keep some cover. Search and rescue had been part of her basic training. She looked at Emerson. They arrived at the building that Bauuman had last been seen in, she and Emerson looked for a window to see if they could see anything within the building before going in.

MACO

Melissa’s looking found the building that Bauuman had been in was completely empty....

GM CockRoach

Tapping his comm unit, Jonathan sent a triple click through on the Colonel’s channel, one of the prearranged signals that meant for her team to return back to the rendezvous point.

Cmdr. McKnight - XO

“So what about the energy source under the abandoned building? We never discovered what it was or why it’s even being hidden. In fact, I don’t even think we tried very hard.” Naomi piped up, not caring anymore what the XO might think of her behavior.

Every time she thought about the unknown energy reading, it gnawed at her and she felt it was important. In what way, she wasn’t sure. She thought leaving it a mystery might, later on, cause them to regret it. Unfortunately, it appeared stealth wasn’t this group’s great strength making her wonder if the mystery was worth risking their lives to solve. Most of what they did was fiddle with a black box that as yet yielded very little answers to anything save something they already knew. Something was off with the advancements here.
