=^= Locke to bridge, I disconnected the power from the cryo pods and turned off the main reactor. You got three hours to transport those pods before their reserved power dies.=^= For now, she was grateful to bring this little adventure to an end. Even though the CO might give her an earful for not waiting for her request over advice. In her defense, they shouldn’t have taken so long to reply.

She finished whatever was left then gestured for the others to follow her. No time was wasted as she headed for the exit, aiming to leave this horrid place for better scenery.

Ari’s voice came over the comm for the surface team. [O] Captain to away team, the XO and Doc will be assisting with personnel and cryo transport. Stand by.[O]

OOC: Ok so back to the surface then we go!

The return trip to the surface of the base was as the original descent a long one, once more a good 5 minutes passed before the muted ‘ding’ of the elevator’s doors opened to the surface access room. By this point the night’s air had faded and the first rays of a new day were dawning in the distant skyline. The murky smokey air was still thick, as was the ever present chill and ash/snow fall. Radiation levels were still high but not quite life threatening yet to them, though again they’d need a good radiation decommanination once they got back to the ship.

In the distance muted gunshots or some kind were heard, but otherwise things were quiet around the base, and the landing party was alone.
