=^= Jen to Ranger. I’ve contacted marine Colonel Georgio to begin rotating rest periods for the marines. Gamma shift would be coming on normally though Alpha shift by now is exhausted given that it was almost 22:00 when this event began. I would defer the implementation of this to the CMO as she has the latest stats on injuries and how this is best done. Do you concur? =^=

=/\= Agreed, Commander. This doesn’t seem like a problem that’s going to be solved immediately. =/\= Katelyn’s voice paused as she gave an exasperated sigh of frustration. =/\= Let me know once we have some information from the computer core. I’m just boarding the craft now and then we’ll figure out how to best utilize what we have here to supplement the ship. =/\=

Eleanor sighed softly. At the mention of the word ‘rest’ she realized how tired she actually was, but with the adrenaline currently pumping her body, there was no way she was going anywhere. Not to mention… no one was piloting her ship, and she really wanted to be the one to take the party outside.

Finally noticing that both Commanding Officer and Chief of Security were still standing in the middle of her cockpit, Carnegie shot the Fleeters a tired smile. “I’m sorry… where are my manners. Please, feel free to take your favorite station. That one is Sensor Ops…” Eleanor motioned to the one on the right side. “… and that one is Engineering.” She said motioning to the one on the left. “In case we do take off and you don’t feel comfortable manning one of them, I can move them to my panel.” The Marine paused to catch her breath before saying proudly. “I am used to fly the Lady all by myself, so it’s nothing I haven’t done before. Just be aware… There’s a pair of glasses somewhere under one of the consoles. I dropped them earlier. They look like one of those old twentieth century Earth ones… Let me know if you happen to find them. My brother will kill me if I ask him for another pair and I would much rather not have to live through that experience.”

Katelyn listened to Carnegie as she slid into the engineering station. It wasn’t her strong suit, but she’d flown this type of craft before and she was familiar with at least the basics required to operate it. The Chief of Security’s disappearing form left the two women alone as she pondered the display in front of her. “I wonder if there’s a way we can beam the shuttle out.” She paused to contemplate it a bit more, her fingers moving over the console to look at the various power requirements and capabilities in the craft. “High warp and all that’s an issue, but we could divert all power to the safety systems to protect us… what do you think?” She glanced at Carnegie.

High warp transports were rare and highly difficult, usually when two ships are going at the same ‘relative’ speed. The fact that the ship wasn’t moving made transport through a warp bubble feasible, but through the ship shield still was impossible.
