Sapeth led the way for two of his engineering teams onto the flight crews Mechanical Deck. The task on the surface was simple, prepare a runabout to appear like a small commercial freighter, so that a landing party could slip down to the surface. But from experience, any task that sounded simple was going to end up taking significantly longer then would have been planned for.

The maintenance crew had already dragged a runabout out for them, conveniently. Walking up to it, Sapeth keyed open the hatch and motioned the teams in.

“Alpha team, work on the transponder. Gamma team, proceed with modifying the warp signature. Delta team, I’ll be joining you to work on installation of holographic projections to change the visual appearance of the runabout. Please proceed with your assignments.”
