The transports moved up to the docking ports and with a metallic thunk and then a hiss the seals attached and then pressurized the area. IRIS turned to one of the wing nuts. An Efrosian woman, nicknamed ‘Jack’, “Jack, get those doors open and let’s get people on board.” Jack grabbed the industrial Emergency hand actuators and popped the access panel locked within the temporary airlock and began working at forcing the door open.

One of the upsides of the operation was that the Empress - up to this point - was a well put together and maintained ship. Not to mention civilian, so the work to get the door open was a matter of a well drilled operation mixed with working with good equipment. With a soft hiss the hatch opened .. then screeched to a stop a third of the way open. By initial scans there had been some warping on the hull with the explosion stopping that. However, people could still slip through single file ..

Beyond was a sudden rise in female voices and chatter. Over it all was what sounded not unlike a voice of command that was over it all. “One at a time. Don’t move like a scared petaQ! You help this one!” .. and the first of the bunch peered around the door, eyes wide, a nasty bruise at her temple otherwise marring a face framed in blonde.

Jack held out a hand and helped people through with a friendly smile. “Come on, it’s safe. The seal is perfectly stable. We can take 30 at a time.” She passed them to a waiting marine who was ready with water and quick bandages and another who got them settled into seats.

“Jack, stay here and help operate the door for the next shuttle,” IRIS called to her. “Yes Ma’am.” Jack disappeared through the hatch and Gigs took her place. Between the two of them they got the hatch closed and both vessels sealed. IRIS glanced back at her passengers. “Welcome aboard. We’ll get you back to the Chimera where Star Fleet officers will be waiting to take care of you. If you need help just say the word. As soon as everyone has disembarked we’ll be going back. We will get everyone over here safely.”

Across the Empress the same was happening as transports docked and took on 30 passengers in a go. They had 30 transport shuttles, and it was a steady organized evacuation as one shuttle left another docked and took on more passengers. The Black Sheep’s four SAR shuttles docked to take on those deeming immediate medical care.

As Siraa moved the shuttle away from the Empress and back towards the Chimera, she opened a comm to the Chimera and the other transports. =/\=Cpt.sh’Rharror to Chimera. First wave is returning. SAR shuttles will land to ship’s starboard side of the flight deck for immediate disembarkation. Requesting additional assistance to help assist evacuees from transports.=/\=
