Cara shook the woman’s hand warmly, “Nice to meet you, and let’s hope the conditions only get better from here,” Cara replied her tone steady, and she thought a counselor was just what they were going to need after all this. “We’d better check each other’s safetly buckles to make sure we’re in properly,” she said and then tighened Janna’s straps a little so she wouldn’t be josteled around. “So, I’ll bet being a couselor after this ordeal is going to keep your plently busy,” Cara added with slight amusment in her eyes.

Just moments before the scheduled exit was taking place Ben entered his Designated Escape pod. In his hand was the discoloured potted plant without the plant itself. instead, it was filled with several vials of medicine in secured containers. Hanging around his shoulders was his MedPack. He Looked out and when satisfied that every one of his staff had entered their respected pods he went inside and sat down. He was breathing heavily as he looked over the small group “So, everyone ready?” He tried his best to give them a reassuring smile. He put the pot on the ground and pressed a single button on the side and slight hum started as it attached itself to the hull and the vials moved slightly in place towards the bottom of the pot. “Heck of a first mission, don’t you think” He looked over to Daniels with the same smile.

Cara breathed a sigh of relief when Dr. Grey came into the escape pod. She had been worried about the man ever since he had shooed her out of sickbay but had remained behind himself. She made sure her own belts were all buckled and then nodded to her CMO as he heart pounded in her chest.
“As ready as we’re going to be. I’ve been making sure everyone has been strapped in and all those who needed medications before we left sickbay has been taken care of,” Cara repliled and then looked at the planter. It was a big reminder to her what they were leaving behind.
“I’m glad you were able to save the planter sir,” she said with a grin as she lifted up the violin that had been strapped to her back. It had been her mothers and then only thing from her family she had left.
” What happens now,” Cara asked in a smaller voice than she had hoped, after all there is only so much you can do to prepare for something like abandoning a ship and her first real home.

Ben moved towards the pilot’s seat and strapped himself in “The pot’s a convenient storage for Extra medicine, Ensign” He said as he started the launch sequence “We go to the planet and meet up with everyone” He looked back “Everyone hold on, Launching in Three, Two, One!” He engaged the release mechanism and launched the Escape pod. He was impressed with how calmly the crew was acting, especially the young Doctor. Despite being absolutely terrified he didn’t have the luxury of showing it.

It felt sureal as Dr. Grey took the helm of the pod. They were really taking this thing down to the planet. “Okay, it’s going to be fine,” Cara whisperd as she looked at Janna and before she knew it they were keeping hold of each other’s hand. She could feel the pressure of the launch and closed her eyes as she controlled her breathing to remain calm. If they stuck together they would get through this. She wondered about where Stark was, about Horace, and all her friends she hadn’t had time to check on. Taking another deep breath she grasped Janna’s hand as they together braced for whatever was to come next.

“Of course it is,” Kingston replied, perhaps with a bit of a smirk. “Not the first time we’ve abandoned ship, we’ll be okay.” Janna didn’t add that the circumstances of the last situation were a bit more dire but only by a tiny bit. She also was working really hard to not think about what happened if the pod didn’t land smoothly. The last thing any of them needed was her becoming a patient.

Ben couldn’t help but laugh slightly at their statement, a thousand people were launching towards the surface of an unknown planet. Dozens injured and they would no longer have the sanitary situation of the Sickbay. He was focusing so much on the controls that he didn’t say anything. “Alright, I’m going to link up with the other pods and engage Autopilot” He informed the group.

The announcement they were going on Autopilot didn’t make Cara feel any better. After all what did a computer care about the the lives of the people in this pod? she kept silent though the last thing they needed was her fears being broadcasted to the rest of the group. Cara wondered how many pods were out there and if the other people were just as scared as they were.
“My mother used to have us sing songs while we were hiking or doing chores to make the time go by faster,” Cara said with a smile, trying to sound as calm as she could. Though she wasn’t sure anyone in the pod would know the same songs she did. Old hymns were out of style these days. She began to sing “Down by the river,” softly in a well trained and melodic second saprano tone and she noticed a few people relaxed, including herself.
