Lardep didn’t wait. He tapped his communicator and said =/\= Iris, prep all transports for launch. Looks like the cree may need some Marine backup on the ground.. Oni, get the birds ready for transport cover operations and get my bird on the line for launch. I’m on my way. =/\= Lardel then contacted the Marine Infantry bay. =/\= Prep for rapid deployment. This is not a drill. All ground units prepare for transport and report to the flight line. =/\= and then he nodded at the Captain. “Better to have us and not need us than to need us and not have us.” and the Zakdorn CAG turned and headed to the turbo lift and the flight deck.

Lardel, CAG

The response was immediate and crisp. =/\=Aye Colonel. Prepping for launch.=/\= Before the comm completely cut off they could hear sh’Rharror bark out

“Delta Sqd prep for launch!” Siraa checked the board that linked call out with the Marine Infantry Bay. “4 transports. 2 to launch, 2 on standby! Casper, Banshee suit up! Medusa, Fang you’re on standby.” Siraa watched as transports 1, 5, 6 and 13 were brought up from the hanger bay. She reached to the hook inside her office door and antenna waving about to adjust as she pulled her helmet on. She grabbed hold of the ladder railing and slid down to the flight deck.

Freja nodded at Lardel, “Do what you can to avoid interfering with the natrual progression of these people, remember they don’t know aliens exist yet. We might be past the prime directive at this point, but keep in the back of your head as you head down. Safety of the away team is first priority though.”

=/\=Roger that Colonel.=/\= Oni got up from his desk and ran out to the line while hearing Iris bark her orders he barked his as well. “Alpha and Bravo Squads Suit up and get the Birds up and running for cover operations of the transports! Colonel Lardel’s crew, get his plane up and running as well! This is not a drill! Let’s move people!” With that said, Oni climbed up into his plane and got it up and running.

The CAG appeared in his flight uniform at the same time the personnel doors opened and six fire teams of armed and armored Federation Marines moved into the flight deck. Hannibal looked and shouted “MARINES ON ME!” and the infantry troops ran and fell into formation. Hannibal stood in front of them and said “Listen up Marines. We have a Fleet away team in a hostile situation. This is a rescue mission first and foremost. The mission is get them out asap. There’s a wrinkle, though. This planet is inhabited by a pre-warp civilization. First contact protocols are in effect. You know what that means.” A large Orion in armor and wearing the insignia of the Marine Force Reconnaissance said “Yes sir! Swift silent and deadly, sir!” Hannibal nodded once and said “Thats right. But we are the trespassers here… mission objective is zero body count if possible. But priority is we get our people home. Copy?” The Marines shouted in unison in a cry that echoed through the entire ship.”OOH-RAH!!!” Hannibal nodded and yelled “Then get inbyoud sticks and let’s go. MOVE OUT!” and the Marines began running to the transports.

“Squadron leaders on me!” Hannibal yelled as he ran to his fighter and climbed the ladder. In a matter of moments, the jet black fighter was shot out of the carrier and the rescue was under way.

Lardel, CAG

Oni kept his helmet in his fighter because he knows he would forget the darn thing eventually. Strapping it on and pressing the com switch. =/\= Bravo Squad! We will be providing cover support for the transports! This is a pre-warp era planet but that does not mean they are without surprises. Keep an eye out. Fighters 1,2,5,6,9 will be with me and the transports. Fighters 3 and 4 will go North to scout, 7 and 8 to the East, 10 and 11 to the South and 12 to the East. Go about 15 AU and hold and scan. Let’s go!”
Then Bravo Squad shot out when it was their turn to leave the hanger.

Climbing into her fighter, IRIS paused once for visual confirmation from the transport aviators and then she was strapping into the seat and sealing the hatch. She grinned like a mad woman. This was what life was all about. She loved the adrenaline rush, but never let it take over. She waited for Oni to pass the bay doors and then her glacial blue fighter shot out into the black. She banked sharply coming to a stop with 3 other fighters of Hannibal’s elite alpha squadron and waited for the transports to launch.

Siraa opened a channel to Hannibal. =/\=Delta squad in position, Colonel.=/\=

=/\=We have contact coordinates?=/\=

As GM This is my one and ONLY warning This action If fully carried out WILL Violate the Prime Directive so badly there will be serious consequences! right now the Situation is Salvageable However if Starfleet landing craft Drop into Radar range and Yes the Mar’Zek Have access to early radar your craft Will be spotted There are Airships the size of the Hindenburg Flying about some even bigger than the Hindenburg There is no way for Fighters or shuttles to land without being spotted How about Trying to Contact the Away team and find out why the sudden cut in transmission before blowing the Prime Directive into confetti

KG

OOC:
Ok… so how would you suggest we participate in the sim?

James

OOC: As the GMM I would suggest doing what the GMT said in contacting the away team for a vocal update, then proceed from there. Or to include some kind of marine/pilot hack to block the radar or use some other means to hide yourself in thick cloud/storm cover. I should say as GMM for Kirt his tone may have been a bit frustrated but speaking as if i was in his place having watched the sim all this time in quiet I would also be a little frustrated too. On the flip side you could approach close if kirt oks you using radar blocking to approach on the blind sides of the air ships to listen in or something else you can work with him on....
