Escape pods as a rule was a horrible option in combat. They were defenseless, had limited thrust, sensors, life support, and in a general sense simple targets for a hostile force. They presume that whomever was attacking you wasn’t going to bother to finish off the survivors. Something multiple powers unfriendly to the Federation have already demonstrated in combat, but who was he to question the Captain. The majority of the crew would follow orders and he would gain nothing by a show a disagreement. Not that he did disagree, the current situation was only going to get worse with standard tactics so this was at least a change…

OOC Feel free everyone to post some action on your respective escape pods. Athena deserves an audience. I’ll wait a day and then start the action below. Ian.

Jayden followed the Captain to the escape pod. He sat down at a console and started to help Rhan with the launch squence.

Ghubari settled into the pod, having been the last one off the bridge. The image on the viewscreen was different than last time, and so were the feelings. Still, she felt some sadness at knowing the initial outcome of immediate events. What actually bothered her about this situation was the stress on her crew and that was something she couldn’t control. All she could do was follow through and keep them as safe as she could.

She reached over to the comm on the pod. =/\=All crew, this is the Captain. We’re heading for the planet. Stick together and watch out for each other. We’ll see each other shortly. Koraia out.=/\= She was too calm and she knew it. But there was no helping that right now either. All she could do was hope that the person she was putting all her trust in came through.

R’han spun slightly in his seat. There wasn’t a lot of room to begin with, as he looked at his captain. “Sensor detect only a borderline “M” class world. We won’t be able to live there for long… certainly not the billions years we’ll need to wait until the Federation discovers us.”

R’han knew there had to be a temporal window of some sort on the planet below… and he knew some of them… made it there because the stone that was discovered proved it… but that is all he knew, survival was certainly not a guarantee.. at least not for him.

“I wish I have brought my backpacking gear. We could use the survival stuff that I have in it.” Jayden said while trying to focus on his work. He brought all the systems online and ready.

“All set Captain.” He reported as he readied the ejection system.

R’han tilted his head. An escape pod was well stocked in survival gear. In addition to the ship itself, he was fairly confident that he could find a way to survive several weeks, a backpack worth of equipment while helpful would not substantially extend their survival duration. “Unless there was an antimatter generator and a replicator within the contents of your backpack, the escape pod will do.”

“There is no electronic technology in it, a good multipurpose knife, a propane heating unit, a basic nylon tent, a simple water purification kit, stuff like that. Nothing that can be disabled or anything sir.” Jayden replied.

“Launch us,” Ghubari said simply, awaiting the next phase of Fate to reveal itself. She was trusting one person far more than she might, especially under the circumstances, but having been so far outside her realm of knowing and understanding that she was just having to go with it and see what happened. Not the most comfortable position to be in, but it was what it was.

“Yes Captain.” Jayden replied, launching the escape pod.

Amongst the survival gear, Koraia fished out a phaser, set it to moderate stun and gazed out the small window at her ship. For a second time she had to abandon it to its Fate and it hurt, even though she understood the situation to be more than it seemed. She had to remind herself that if all went well, this would not be permanent.

Soon enough, they entered the atmosphere and the emergency thrusters slowed their re-entry. “Brace for impact,” Ghubari called out, feeling absolutely no tension. Not only was that unusual but she could almost examine it from the outside. She didn’t say anything about it, but briefly looked at Laraan, wondering what the counsellor would make of all this. She had asked a lot, but in the end, trust was the one things she knew she had from the crew and she hoped it was enough.

Jayden braced himself, hoping that the console wouldn’t explodeon impact, it was a fear of his.

There was a slight spark from the console as the Pod came to rest in a relatively smooth landing considering the circumstances. The hatch popped open to a veritable sea of humanity as Athena’s occupants milled around finding each other in the chaos.

A comm channel on the crews combadges opened up. =^=Chief Medical Office Grey to all Crewmembers, We’ve set up a Triage Station at my Location, if you are too injured to move let us know, we’ll send a Medical team to your location.=^= The Calm and collected voice of the Scottish CMO informed everyone and the channel closed as soon as it opened.

Dr Grey - CMO

R’han looked out the hatch cautiously. He clipped a phaser and tricorder to his his. “We should set up a perimeter and collect the erstwhile pods.” He tilted his head. “I can’t imagine everyone had a smooth of a ride as we did.”

=^=This commander R’han, we are setting up a command post off the Triage station. Security officers attached to the outermost pods, hold in place and set up a perimeter, report your position when secure.=^=

The voice of Ensign Ceres came over the conn. =/\= Commander, I’m on the eastern side of the group. We’re pretty sure we saw some escape pods that weren’t ours coming down further out from our position, please advise. =/\=
OOC Starting a new thread for this :-)

R’han

OOC. Oops, wrong place for medical, please forgive.
