Rachel stayed quiet as she got herself set up with the second team. She hadn’t left the ship since her first arrival and she was admittedly excited with the prospect. Although she did enjoy the quiet of Sickbay she did occationally feel the need for action.

Baumann listened to the distress call as they waited for the Captain’s orders. He made sure that recording was made, as well.

Meanwhile, Rachel did some stretching to limber up. She looked around at the teams and made mental notes of each and every ones physical histories. Anyhting might become pertinent.

Kenny gradually slowed the shuttle, pulling back on the throttle and not quite proceeding through the entrance that had been opened for them. “Should I go through?” He asked Baumann, scratching his nose slightly and watching the Armory Chief for instruction.

“The Captain said hold.” Baumann said calmly, although Fleet could see his jaw clenched tightly. “Although I do not relish the idea of floating here as a stationary target. Perhaps a precursory pass to see if we can garner any further information?” he asked, his eyes focused on the sphere.

Baumann, AC

Being stationary would yield some information that … might be interesting.

Over the entrance they detected no weapons signatures at all.
However, sensors detected a gravitational pull that was immediately evident: at the center of the space within the Sphere was a black hole. This far out the shuttle was in no danger of being sucked in.
As well, there were numerous power sources along the inner edge of the Sphere. They were centralized and of varying strengths but nothing ‘mammoth’. In fact, on many the shuttle could put out a similar output.

The Translator finally began to put something together. “Hello? Hello? Are you really from beyond? We need your help. We’re all dying here.”

Baumann looked back at the XO and said “First contact, Ma’am.” and he then motioned for her to come and man the communications.

Suddenly the Captain’s voice came over the comm. =^= Shuttle, hold back. There is a huge gravity well in the middle of the sphere. Barri is trying to calculate the safest entry depth. We ‘have’ received a transmission for help along with some telemetry. But till we are certain, hold outside the sphere. =^=

Baumann looked at Fleet and said “Well, I suppose that answers that.” in a most uncharacteristically sarcastic and playful manner. Baumann then keyed the comms. [o] Shuttel to Bonaventure. We have the same readings, Captain. Be advised, a large area of the sphere has opened inviting entry. Dimensions are immense. Bonaventure would fit easily inside. We will hold position until further instruction. [c]

Baumann, AC

Rachel, who was now upside down standing on her hands finally spoke again “Don’t worry lieutenant, We’ll get to leave soon” Her left arm rose carefully “We just need to be patient and hopeful” She said with her crooked smile.

Naomi’s ears caught T’Leia being called over. Her eyes crunched up and stared, slightly surprised at the sudden stop. It got her attention distracted from the fact they were stuck inside the shuttle and a black hole rotated some distance away. She was glad that they didn’t move closer personally.

Kenny was a little aggravated that they were being told to hold position. The Black hole was far enough away that it wasn’t effecting them, and there were people in need of help. “What should we say to those folks in need of help right now? Sorry, but we’re too scared of the black hole to help you? Enjoy dying?” He muttered under his breath. It might be rude, but he didn’t like to let people die if he could help it. He held his position though. He might talk, but he wouldn’t disobey a direct order.
