With the pod door open they were free to move out into an alien world and get to work, but first it was probably somewhere written that Captain Renault had the duty to plant the claims marker and Earth Starfleet flag of ownership on the new world right?

“Just one thing Captain.” She held out a long narrow bag. “The claims marker.” She fished in her bag and pulled out a camera. “It will be good for ship morale to have a record of our missions. I am sure Cmdr Grace is doing the same at their site. We’ll take a group shot after.” Apparently without Akela around Helena was going to take it upon herself to take too many pictures. With a grin she held up the camera and hit ‘record’. “Alright, ready!”

Marceau took the claims marker bag, picked a good spot and planted the marker. “Helena… I thought we were done with all these pictures when we all graduated academy.” It was a half-hearted complaint though as he ushered the rest of the team into the picture. “Hurry up so we can get to work.”

Ensign Sanks got out of the shuttle with the other security ensign. Together they created a perimeter around the shuttle and accessed the safety of the crew before losing for the picture then going back to securing the perimeter.

Naomi enjoyed the chit chat while it lasted. She braced herself against the quivering pod when they hit the atmosphere, eventually settling down on the landing. With only enough time for a breath, it was back to business. Before the Captain completed his orders, she was already collecting her gear and waiting at the door. She didn’t step out until the place was secure at least.

When they finally stepped off the pod, her eyes gazed over the scene. She slid to the side and crouched down to find a soft patch of loose dirt. A brief ruffle in her bag brought up a sample probe. Naomi figured starting with a soil sample would be best before their boots got in her way.

Putting the camera away after getting the necessary shots and a few of the planet itself, Helena made her way over to Naomi. “Capt assigned me to you. Tell me how I can help.” Helena had a huge grin and light hearted attitude. She wasn’t a science officer but she was competent and could follow instructions.

Once the pictures were taken, Marceau got to work scanning some of the nearby plant life, checking for anything, either good (helpful/medicinal), or bad (toxic).

OOC: awww! No speech? :P pouts

Taking a large, deep breath of the air of the new planet, Logan bounced back and forth ‘lightly’ on his feet and even jumped a couple of times. The gravity was supposed to be heavier here, and he couldn’t help but try it out.

Finally, he clipped the picnic basket to his belt, adjusted the other took of his trade and turned back to the shuttle, lifting a small bag that held a variety of sensors and measuring devices, This he slung over his shoulder and made his way towards Laursen and Locke.

“Looks like I’m with you,” Logan flashed Laursen a grin and focused on Locke. “We haven’t had much time to meet during the trip out, the ship kept us busy. Kelleher, Logan Kelleher.” He introduced himself. “Looks like you got the dirty job huh?”

Lt Kelleher, CE

OOC: Ok back from LOA getting caught up and bumping this!
