“This might be a first person shooter type of mission.” Kolar commented to no one in particular. If it were they had likely taken the wrong guy. He was a mediocre shot and was a pacifist by nature. Even he was concerned, slinging his personal tricorder across his should he took a type 1 and 2 phaser. Strapping the pistol to his hip and sliding the other into his boot.

“Let’s hope not, but anybody who wants to keep themselves that secret isn’t going to greet us with open arms,” Jason commented as he procured a tricorder of his own.

Ch’zaolrirh rummaged around a bit in the locker beside Jason. The Andorian already had a phaser at his side, but he was looking for something simpler. He saw what the planet had done to the Dragoon and Xandra’s fighter and he didn’t like it. It left him to assume that all of their technology was potentially useless. After a few moments he found what he was looking for, a small collapsible baton. Looking it over he spoke to himself, “this will do.”

Tucking the baton away, his next concern was how they might keep in touch with the Olinski in an emergency. After thinking for a moment he turned to Kolar and Jason. “If the locals are expecting us, maybe we should take an extra comm badge or transmitter and tuck it away under one of our uniforms… as an extra life line.”

COS Ch’zaolrirh

“I can only imagine what the locals are doing to the Dragoon crew, if there are any survivors…” The Counselor stated as he rushed into the Transporter Room. “I’m going to grab an extra med kit, just in case.” Lieutenant Michaels stated upon reaching the equipment locker.

Normally, the Counselor would be seen grabbing a type 1 phaser, but under the circumstances Trevor chose the type 2.

The CE walked in with a few NEs behind him. He saw that they were taking weapons. He had, of course, done basic arms training. But the thought of actually shooting someone was something he didn’t care to dwell on. Nonetheless he walked to the locker and armed himself. He turned to his staff. “Ok. It seems like we’re going to the planet to find the Dragoon crew if we can. Stay here, be ready for immediate beamout to the Dragoon or to the surface if necessary.”

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

“Ah, Mister Gould, just the man,” Jason purred. “Could you run it by me how this transporter relay drone works again? I have to confess that I’m a little concerned about its reliability.” Was he ever. Underneath his cool and confident exterior a smidge of technophobia had reared its ugly head. Would the transporter signal degrade, rendering it unsafe to transport? How easy was it to jam the drone as opposed to the equipment on the starship? Could the drone beam people around as safely as a transporter operator? Was the drone remotely controlled by the Olinski, or could the team control it using the multichannel communications assemblies in their tricorders? And was there a replacement transporter relay drone of the denizens of Antioch destroyed it?

“It’s actually fairly simple, sir. The probe acts as a booster for the Olinski’s transporter systems. If we need to lock onto an individual, or a group, it can boost the range or, it can be fed specific biological information about a person or a few people and lock onto them, should there not be enough signal. Its second function is as a “transmitter”, if you will, to the ship. That’s how it extends the range. The probe can take in, and retransmit, the signal that is us being beamed up.” Michael had something of a proud look on his face. Like a father describing the achievements of a child.

Lt Michael Gould, CE

“The science is sound and the principles have been proven for over a century commander. If it doesn’t work, then the laws of physics have been altered.”

Jason gave Kolar that look that officers always give their subordinates when that subordinate has successfully made the officer look stupid.

Bennie popped through the doors as the conversation was going on. She was in a standard uniform with a standard med kit in one hand. “Sorry if I made everyone wait. I was actually attending to something else when the call came through.” She saw that everyone was armed and had the usual internal argument with herself about taking a phaser. She was sworn to save lives, not take them. But what if the situation could be turned with the addition of ‘her’ phaser?

Reluctantly, she reached into the locker and confiscated one of the hand held kind. “I’m going to carry this one for someone else to use.”

—Royce, CMO

Kolar snorted back a laugh. Between the two of them, neither was going to be a significant aid in a fire fight. He hoped the others would be able to make up for their lack of aggression. “If it comes down to it… try to look dangerous.”

Jason rolled his eyes. He hoped that if things went wrong his team wasn’t too civilized compared to the caveman leading them to defend themselves. “How is Lieutenant Primage by the way? Did anything override her will or was it her fighter?”

Jason Harn, XO

“Dr Beaujay and I were escorting her to medical when this call came through. He’s conducting a physical and some tests now. I do have to say though that she was shaken by the experience.”

—Royce, CMO

=^=Parker to Harn. Remember our first priority is to find and help the Dragoon’s crew. Once we can be sure they are safe we can hopefully get this mess figured out and not violate any directives.=^=

Parker CO

=^=Understood sir.=^= Jason acknowledged grimly. He looked back at Bennie. “I would have liked to have Primage’s report before we beam out but we don’t know how long we’ve got before whosever on the planet manages to get their defense system working again.” He glanced around at the others. “If nobody has any objections we’ll be beaming over to the Dragoon first. With luck we’ll find the Dragoon’s crew in cryosleep capsules or something. Unless someone has a better idea?”

Jason Harn, XO, leaving room for player input

CSO

“Sounds good to me sir.” He gestured to the NEs. “I have a team on standby if we need help restarting the ship. And maybe, sir, if we can get the Dragoon live again, we can recover the ‘black box’ as it were. Find out what systems failed, in what order, and at what altitude.”

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

“Okay then,” Jason nodded. “If we’re going to the Dragoon first there’s no need to pack rope or anything like that. Unless Trevor has a suggestion?”

Trevor shook his head. He was primarily concerned with the Dragoon’s crew at the moment, and was wondering what state they’d be in. “I’ll help Doctor Royce with any survivors.” The Counselor stated.

Ch’zaolrirh listened to the others. The away team had very little information to work with, and it made him uneasy. In the back of his mind he wondered about the commbadge signal and whether or not the bridge had obtained anymore data related to it.

CNS

“Okay then, let’s be on our way,” Jason said as he exchanged the rifle shaped phaser for a smaller pistol shaped one and headed to the door.

Soon Jason and the others were standing on the transporter pads, the slimmer members of the away team sharing a pad. =^=Harn, to bridge. We’re beaming over to the Dragoon.=^=

Jason Harn, XO

OOC: Remember there is a message from the surface of the planet that the CAG received from a SF combadge asking for immediate help and that someone was about to find them. Now I am not 100% sure but I cannot find where the pilots passed that on to us. So I am going to look into that as it will clearly alter some of your actions.

Sidney

OOC: We haven’t been informed about the message from the surface of the planet. It’s a good thing that Harn called the bridge before the team beamed off the ship so Sidney can update him. This is why you always tell your captain where you’re going before you leave the ship. ;)

Jason Harn, XO

OOC: Now that Terry is back, that thread should get active again.

Kolar withdrew his tricorder with the speed of master quick draw. He began scanning as he started materializing. “Scanning.” He reported without being requested.

Balfor CSO

OOC: I was intending for the skipper to call the transporter room and instruct us to investigate the voice calling for help from the planet’s surface BEFORE we beamed over to the Dragoon, but Sidney seems to be checking in late. Oh well, there’s no reason why we can’t have a quick look around the derelict starship and verify that it is indeed abandoned before beaming down to the planet. Who knows? We may even get a chance to play a chilling “Final log” where we watch an image of the Dragoon’s CO facing his own real life Koboyashi Maru situation.

Jason Harn, XO

=^=Harn I’m clear your beaming over to the ship. We just received an update from Ric. They are close enough to receive a weak com badge call from help. The signal is weak but we have the coordinates. Apparently a crew member is hiding from unknown subjects but fears discovery at any minute. Check the Dragoon or split your team. We need to check on that person. Rics squad is flying to that location now to get in closer.=^=
