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

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.

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.

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.

“Aye-aye Captain,” Jason said as he rose from the XO’s chair. =^=Harn to Royce, we’re going an away team mission. Meet us in transporter room three at your earliest convenience.=^= he announced as he tapped his combadge.

=/\=Understood, Cmdr. I’m on my way.=/\= Bennie responded.

—Royce, CMO

=^=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.=^=

“You think we are going to need fighter support? Reassuring.”

=^= 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.

Parker CO

Kolar waited until the relief officer took the station before he headed to the transporter room.

Balfor Kolar CSO

Jason paused at the turbolift doors to allow Kolar to catch up with him, and then they left the bridge together.

Jason Harn, XO Exit stage right.

Ch’zaolrirh left his station shortly after Kolar and Jason. He gave the relief officer a nod and muttered some instruction to him before heading to the turbolift.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

The Captain always worried when he sent his people into harms way. Especially when they were friends and ones he needed and trusted. He knew the answers were not going to be had with them all sitting on the ship. He could only hope to give them all the advantages he could but in the end it might not be enough. He hoped that the answers to this mystery would end up being peaceful ones but with a whole starships crew missing he knew this was serious and he planned on doing what ever necessary to get them back if possible.

Parker CO

“I’m afraid the answers are down there.” Sid said out loud but to no one in particular.

Parker CO

=^=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.=^=

Sid was making clear to Harn what he wanted and also letting him know, without saying it directly, that any directive was up for grabs to save SF personnel, even the Big One.

Parker CO

=^=Understood sir.=^= The first officer’s disembodied voice revealed that he recognized the gravity of the situation.

Jason Harn, XO

After a pause, the executive officer’s voice was heard again. =^=Harn, to bridge. We’re beaming over to the Dragoon.=^=

Jason Harn, XO, letting the skipper know where we are going

=^=Olinski, this is Ricochet. I’ve picked up a message from the surface. Voice of a young female, begging to be beamed out before someone gets to her. I’m going in closer. I’ll amplify the signal to help you get a lock on that badge.=^=

Ricochet (CAG)

ooc: Ok here we go. We now have that info.

Sid almost came out of his seat. Darn he thought. Why could not that info not arrived a second earlier.

=^=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.=^=

Things never went the way you wanted but that was the way it was. Right now all he cared about were SF lives.

Parker CO

=^=Aye-aye sir. We’re beaming over to the Dragoon now.=^=

“They’ve beam over successfully sir,” reported Mister Suvok, a young Vulcan sitting at the ops console.

It wasn’t long before Sidney heard another call from the away team. =^=Harn to Olinski: the away team is going to need a set of oxygen masks and some cold weather clothing if we’re expected to function here. It looks like the ship has almost no power at all on this deck.=^= From the tone of annoyance in Jason’s voice, conditions aboard the Dragoon must be extremely uncomfortable.

OOC: I’m not sure if Jason needs to call the bridge or CPO O’Connell in the transporter room but what the heck, now Sidney has an update from the away team.

Jason Harn, XO

The officer at operations overheard the message.

“On it Sir.” He replied.

After a few minutes he reported.

“Done Sir. The requested items have been sourced and sent to the Dragoon.” He replied quickly.

Sid felt no need to update Harn. He had his items and the information necessary to make decisions. After all he had come to trust his XO even if sometimes he made quick decisions and even rash at times they were usually the right ones.
