=^=Commander we are attempting to re-attain orbit, there may be some medical transfers. Will advise.=^=

Kolar

=^=Understood Balfor, are quarantine procedures necessary?=^= Jason replied.

Jason Harn, aCO attempting to get the chronology between threads straight.

From the scans that the doctor had sent, there was no need of quarantine.

The Counselor continued to listen to the conversations going on around him. “Do we know how many are going to be beamed aboard, Commander?” Trevor asked as he sat on the edge of his seat.

Toro went back to her station and began looking up things again “Commander, something just doesn’t seem right.” She said “I don’t know how much damage the silica and sand would have actually caused.” She said as she began doing some research.

CIO

Based on her research, the CO of the Sierra was not entirely in error to have landed. Based on the specs of the Sierra, the part in question could only be repaired from outside the ship whilst engines were online. The engines would have to be shut down to access that part of the ship from the inside. The CO had made a good call, although a space walk could also have resolved the problem. Landing the ship on the planet surface would have lowered the risk involving a space walk. Of course the CO could have been more vigilant in observing the climate patterns of the planet before choosing where to land.

As to the silica and the sand, they would cause a decrease in the efficiency of the engine. The particles could clog the plasma conduits, although the plasma would eventually (about five to ten minutes) vaporise the particles in question. However, as long as the conduits were clogged, more plasma would need to be channelled through the particular conduits to sustain constant power to the nacelles as well as the ship. This would, of course lower efficiency by a minimum of 4 percentage points.

GM

“Really?” Jason replied while coming up behind Toro to read over her shoulder. “Do you think they are exaggerating the amount of damage they’ve taken?”

OOC: Is it just me, or did Commander Riker have no concept of personal space?

Jason Harn, aCO, rereading the thread and posting a completely different reply than the previous one posted.

OOC: Absolutely correct. That dude had a weird way of leaning in on people and talking to them.

Sidney

Toro shrugged “I don’t know that they are exaggerating, however, it could always be a possiblity.” She said “They would have had to land to make repairs, and as long as the conduits were clogged, they would have to expend a great deal more plasma to clear them.” She said looking at the information that was going across her screen “I do think that the Captain would have been wise to look at the weather patterns and atmosphere prior to landing the Sierra though.” She said.

CIO

OOC: Sorry to interfere … The Sierra’s CO had mentioned that he landed to make repairs. The ship was not able to maintain subspace contact because of the sandstorm. While the CO had thanked the Olinski for coming to their aid, he did not say that the ship was in great distress. Without the Olinski, they would have been able to get repairs done and get on their way. It was because they were uncontactable that caused Starfleet to get the Olinski to look for them …

GM

“I’m no longer sure this is a search and rescue mission, Harn.” The Counselor stated. “We’ve found the Sierra and it looks like all they need to do is burn a hella amount of plasma, and they’ll be ready to lift back off… easy peasy…”

CNS

“I guess you’re right, Counselor, we’ve had so many missions that got more complicated that we’re just waiting for the other shoe to drop,” Jason shrugged feeling somewhat embarrassed at the suspicions he shared with Ric back in the CIC. “In any case we’ll remain in orbit in case they need assistance and let Starfleet Command know that we found them.” He turned to the officer at the communications console. “Contact the Sierra and ask them if they want us to act as a relay so they can contact Starfleet and let them know they’re all right.”

OOC: I’ve completely forgotten who controls communications right now. Is it Toro?
