Baumann assembled a security team of four plus himself. Each had a communicator, phase pistol and rifle, and two Anastazine gas grenades. Baumann had an addition: A sword hung off his hip, carried with a familiarity born of experience and practice. As the team assembled outside the shuttle Baumann spoke to them, his German accent making his words sound stern, though his team knew that to not be the case.

“We have received a distress call from a station in the midst of the stellar objects. It is extremely large, magnitudes greater in size than Earth. We will conduct a primary flyover of the area where the signal is originating from to ascertain a docking or landing point. Make sure we have EVA suits available along with cutting torches in case we need to make our own entry. This is not a combat exercise, but we will defend ourselves should the need arise. You will take no offensive actions without my express order, save to protect yourself from imminent threat.” and he paused to make sure that the security team was paying attention.

“We are approaching this as a Search and Rescue. We will maintain that premise until the circumstances dictate otherwise. We will be dealing with a as of now unknown race. Be cognizant that they may have customs or behaviors that may appear to you to be aggressive, but may not be intended as such. We will go slow, we will check our surroundings, and we will let Science and Medical deal with anyone we encounter. Our primary focus will be the safety and security of our crew and anyone determined to need our assistance. Get everything loaded and secured. We depart in ten. Any questions?”

Baumann, AC

“Any hostiles Sir?”

Woods, Armory

“Unknown at this time, Mr. Woods. We have Bravo team here., and we will secure the rescue party. You take charge of Delta. Secure the landing area and set up a secure perimeter. The shuttle is the only way back, we need to keep it safe. If you can, send scouts and try to glean as much information as you can as well. But no unnecessary risks, Mr. Woods. I want all of us coming back to the ship. Understood?” Baumann replied.

Baumann, AC

Max nodded “Yes Sir.”

OOC: Feel free to launch when ready. I know there are a couple of discussions of others being a part of the team. Let’s move forward and anyone else coming can be assumed to have boarded and launched with you.

OOC: Copy that.

IC: Once all the assembled team was prepared and ready, Baumman gave the order to board the shuttle. It was a bit cramped with everyone on board, but they managed to squeeze in with all their gear. Baumann took the pilot’s chair; he had the necessary training for insertion and extraction piloting, but would be rubbish in an actual ship-to-ship conflict.

“Everyone, lock in and prepare for departure.” he said to those on board. He gave the bridge the ready signal and the shuttle rose off the deck and left through the bay doors.

Baumann, AC

Max stood up “Delta Team on me.” Three other armory officers stood closely to Max. “We’re taking point Cromwell and Harrison watch my Six. I’ll take point when we disembark with Lawson.” The three officers nodded and checked their rifles. “Lieutenant Baumann my team is ready.”
