“Helm, take us to the second planet, one tenth impulse. We can speed up once the fighters verify that the way is safe,” Jason announced.

Jason Harn, XO

Mirri nodded “Second planet, one tenths impulse.” She continued moving the large ship towards their next destination, she was scanning the area around them to make sure that they were safe. She had a bad feeling about this, but she had been able to get a couple of escape routes planned should they be needed.”

Toro kept an eye on the fighters and the surrounding space. She was continuing to search the database for information on the current situation.

CIO

“Send out a hailing frequency,” Jason ordered. “Let’s let the Sierra know that we’re looking for them. Even if their subspace comms are down, they might find some way of contacting us.”

He felt a little sheepish crawling in at one tenth impulse into a system that Federation transports went through at warp on a regular basis, but Jason didn’t want to break Sidney’s spaceship. When Captain Parker returned from Starbase 214 Jason wanted to return the Olinski in the condition in which he got it.

OOC: I was deliberately vague when it came to who is sending out the hailing frequency. Although I assume that Toro or Ch’zaolrirh will send out the hailing frequency, I’ve watched enough TNG to know that just about any officer on the bridge could reconfigure his/her panel for comms. Even an NE could do it.

Jason Harn, XO, probably playing it too safe

The COS attempted a hail, “Attempting to hail them now.” As he awaited a response, he continued to review the cardassian maps. They appeared to be mostly accurate, but he still didn’t put it past the cardassians to casually “forget about a mine or two.”

COS Ch’zaolrirh

They had an audio response that seemed to be garbled: “Thank … zzzttt…storm … zzttt …repairs … “

GM

Jason blinked and leaned forward in his chair. He hadn’t expected a response so quickly. Deep down he had written this mission off as a recovery mission rather than a rescue mission. They had come in time! They could still do some good after all.

OOC: I’m back. I’m just going to have Doolittle come to the Bridge and jump in.
IC: Doolittle had instructed his team on what to do and to prepare for casualties if it came to that. So as a new Senior Officer he felt his place was on the Bridge. The turbolift doors opened and he looked for the First Officer, who in this case was not Harn. He did not remember who was the designated officer so he just cleared his throat as he approached the back of the Bridge and said.

“Uhh humm. I have a readiness report for the First Officer.” He wanted them to know he knew the protocols.

Doolittle MD

As he awaited a response he heard the incoming message. Being garbled he did not think there was a way he could determine if they were under stress. Anyway he was the CMO and not the CNS in his new role. He decided to play his role for now.

Doolittle

“Hm?” Jason looked at the doctor distractedly. “Which first officer? The acting first officer or the acting first officer?” he asked as he glanced at Kolar who was manning the science station. “Sorry Doc, but it looks like things are starting to pop. Kolar will be with you in a moment.” He glanced at the tactical station. “Thell can you clean that up? Contact them and let them know that we’ve heard them but can’t understand a word they’re saying.”

The tactical station tried to but was unable to clean up the signal. The sand storm that the ship sensors had been picking up from the planet was interfering with the communication signals.

GM

The war veteran in him told him that there was a tiny chance of the signal being faked, but if there was a trap hopefully Ric and his fighters would see it before it closed. In the meantime he decided to focus on finding the survivors of the Sierra.

Jason Harn, aCO

Toro looked up at Harn as they tried to clean up the signal. She began a different scan to see if there might be a fake or if it was genuine.

CIO

Mirri waited to see what happened “Can we track the signal and maybe get a bit closer and clean it up that way.”
