“I don’t want to give her too long, Apex, but I don’t want her going in there for nothing. Let’s give a little bit morre,” the CAG stated.

Opening a channel to the ship, Ric repported what was going on.

=^=Olinski, this is Ricochet. we were able to pick up a garbled, partial message from the surface. It seemed to be a direct response to Apex’s hail. Little Sehlat is going in closer to the storn in an effort to pick up a clearer message. If the Sierra did go down, it’s a pretty good chance we have survivors.=^=

Ricochet (CAG)

=^=Acknowledged Richochet,=^= Jason’s voice replied. =^=We’re sending a shuttle down to investigate. Report to the CIC to work on a contingency plan in case the shuttle needs rescuing too. Unless you think you can do it from your cockpit,=^= he added wryly.

Jason Harn, aCO

OOC: How low have the pilots gone down near the planet?

GM

OOC: Sehlat is in the storm, Ricochet and Apex are, I would guess, above the atmosphere, but relatively close. In case of need for intervention.

=^=Roger that, Harn. I’ll be home before the food’s on the table,=^= replied the CAG.

=^=Thanks Ric. Meet you in the CIC. Olinski out, =^= Jason replied.

Ric looked through the window to his right and gave Apex a thumb’s up. =^=You heard the X, Apex. You stay our here and keep in contact with Sehlat. Not sure how the storm is going to affect her comms, but inform CIC ASAP if there’s any problems. Also call down another bird from your squad to ride your wing, copy?=^=

Ricochet (CAG)

=/\=Ricochet, I have to go down there. No bird should be alone in that mess.=/\=

Sehlat was barely able to make out, visually, the shape of the Sierra. However the sensors were not able to give a confirmation of the identity of the ship due to the kelbonite particles moving in the storm. The shields were effective in preventing stray sand and other particles coming out of the storm from damaging the engines. The region above the storm was not calm and the winds were stressing her fighter’s engines as the computer kept the fighter relatively still. Comms contained a lot of static as well but she could try to contact the Sierra. Perhaps the distance could improve the comms …

GM

=/\=Sehlat, can you hear me?=/\= Ael called.

-Lt Ael Khev, Apex (Red Squad Leader)

Sehlat was able to make out Ael’s communication mixed with static.

=^= Ap..resend las… I see.... ship I think… to tell…get id… =^= Xandra frowned wondering if her message up was as garbled as the message down.

She sent hey next message down to the shop, hoping it was the Sierra. =^= This is Sehlat, pilot for the Olinski. I see you near the storm. Identify yourself. Do you need assistance?=^= She repeated it twice and waited for a response as she tried to maintain her altitude without going to deep into the storm.
