“Whats your thinking Harn. Should we allow them to do close recon?” He asked his Executive Officer.

Parker CO

“Good point, we’ve got Gould’s probe,” Jason shrugged, “but you know what they say: A ship in the harbor is safe, but that’s not what ships are for. We’ve already got the fighters out there. Let’s see what they can find out before whoever’s on the planet manages to fix whatever we broke.”

Jason Harn, XO

Ch’zaolrirh gritted his teeth at the XO’s response. He didn’t like it, but perhaps he was being too cautious. He made sure the probe was ready to launch if needed and continued to wait on the results of his surface scan.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

“Launch the probe to high orbit and greenlight Ric to go down. First indications of problems he is to get back. The probe can help support his mission.” He ordered the XO. Who in turn was the one to give the actual orders.

Parker CO

“Aye-aye sir,” Jason nodded. =^=Bridge to sickbay: Lieutenant Primage is returning to the hangar bay. Have a medical team waiting for her and have her examined.=^=

=/\=Royce here, we’re on our way, Cmdr Harn.=/\=

The first officer then called the CAG: =^=Olinski to Ricochet, you have permission to conduct an aerial reconnaissance of the planet below. Find out what’s going on down there and what they’re trying to hide.=^=

And finally he spoke to the tactical officer. “You may launch the probe at your earliest convenience, Mister Ch’zaolrirh.”

Ch’zaolrirh’s hand slid around the interface of his terminal for a moment and the probe was on its way. “Aye Sir, probe is underway.”

COS

Jason Harn, XO, leaving spaces between my orders so that other players can easily insert their acknowledgements without difficulty

CSO

OOC: Is this the probe that would be the transporter repeater?

Kenson (GM)

OOC: Yes - COS Ch’zaolrirh

The Captain awaited the results of the recon and the probe.

Parker CO

The probe was able to ascertain that there were equipment under the surface of the planet. At the same time, there seemed to be several microwave transmitters on the surface and that there were electromagnetic waves around the planet surface and also beneath it.

GM

Things got a little more complicated when Ael Khev’s voice came over the comms. =/\=Olinski, this is Apex. We have a Starfleet combadge on the planet. Ricochet is trying to contact it. I’m transmitting everything I have on it now.=/\= Data came in from the fighter, all the information Apex had.

-Lt(j.g.) Ael Khev, Apex

“We have detected subsurface Machinery inconsistent with our knowledge of the population , I have bio-signs but they are indistinct and I haven’t been able to get a racial identification. Multiple microwave projectors on the surface… I’m plotting the locations and sending the to tactical.”

Kolar tilted his head. “The microwaves might be a weapon designed off the natural high microwave and electromagnetic fields present in the planet. It could also be used for concealment.”

Kolar CSO

“I don’t think a landing party would be the best option, especially with these microwave projectors active.” The Counselor stated. The Lieutenant had a basic idea of tactics and engineering. If these projectors would be used for concealment, a landing party could definitely transport into an ambush.

CNS

The bridge began receiving additional information from the fighter wing. The COS was particularly interested in the comm badge they had located. He attempted to corroborate its location with the Olinski’s scanners. He was hoping that the badge hadn’t been removed and was still on a life form, preferably on a member of star-fleet.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

“Lets make contact with the Dragoon crew the priority. Where are we on that combadge signal?” The Captain asked.

“Commander Harn I dont see how we cannot send an away team. Do you have any other suggestions?” The Captain agreed with Michaels but at this point it seemed impossible not to put boots on the ground.

Parker CO

“I’m thinking that I better lead the away team myself,” Jason admitted. “We don’t know if this is a first contact situation or not, but it certainly is a rescue. Either way we need an officer with experience down there.” He didn’t say that the senior officer could be Jason OR Sidney. If Captain Parker wanted to go down, that was Sidney’s call. “We don’t know what we’re going to face down there so I recommend Mister Balfor and Mister Ch’zaolrirh. And I think we should take Gould. We don’t know how advanced the emitters are down there so I want the officer who has the most practical knowledge when it comes to technology with us.”

OOC: This lineup can be easily changed, so if you want your character to go (or don’t want your character to go) on the mission, let me know. For example, we don’t know what kind of shape the Dragoon’s crew are in, should we take Doctor Royce? Does a fighter pilot need away team experience in order to qualify for a promotion? Is Ray Branch no longer working a 50 hour work week and has time for Trevor to beam down? Let Sid and I know.

Jason Harn, XO

“Ok Commander. You go with Kolar and Chi. Take Royce with you when she is done with Lt. Primage. We will keep the pilots in the atmosphere above for overwatch protection.” He ordered.

=^=Parker to Cag. Were going to be sending a team down. Your job is to stay in those skies and tell us what you see and protect them from the air if possible.=^=

=^= Captain to CE Gould. Get a team ready to board the Dragoon. I want to know what shape she is in and if she can be useful to us.=^=

=/\=Yes sir. I’ll have a team ready ASAP.=/\= Gould replied.

Lt Michael Gould, CE

“Lt. Michaels your on the Away Team. They will need someone who can read between the lines here and reassure people were not the bad guys.” He added.
