=/\=Thank you,” Captain Whitney replied. =/\=As soon as your people return to you, I will be bringing my passengers back to my original destination.=/\=

=^=We copy that Captain. Olinski out.=^= Jason replied pleasantly. When the communications had ended, he let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. “Well that was easy,” he murmured.

“It’s not always a bad thing to wait for the other shoe to drop.” The Counselor said turning to Harn. “I certainly wouldn’t want to be caught with our pants down thinking an assignment was going to be a cake walk.”

Jason shrugged, not willing to reveal how much having command of a starship again, even if only temporary had made him extra cautious. Instead he decided to play it cool. “True, but if we act too suspicious, they might wonder if we’re imposters or something. Or they wondering why we’re so paranoid…”

Toro looked up “Well, I’m going to be doing a bunch of scans and looking around. We’ll be ready.”

CIO

OOC: Please indicate what kind of scans you are thinking of …

IC:
Jason gave a self deprecating chuckle. “Sure. Go ahead and run a voice check of Captain Whitney and see if matches the voice print in Starfleet’s files while you’re at it,” he teased, leaving it ambiguous about whether he was poking fun at Toro or himself.

Jason Harn, aCO feeling sheepish about his suspicions

A voice check would reveal that Captain Whitney was really who he said he was.

GM

Toro will be scanning the area for any unidentified ships and threats to the Sierra.

CIO

Scans revealed nothing suspicion within 0.75 light years around.

GM

“Contact the away team,” Jason instructed.

When the channel was open, he said: =^=Olinski to away team. Are you ready to report?=^=

Jason Harn, aCO

=^= Wait one commander,=^= Kolar walked several steps away and lowered his voice. =^=There was no reason to put the ship on the deck in a storm unless the captain wanted to put it on the ground… why… the only reason why I can come up with is he wanted to hide something.=^=

=^=Mrs. Lawrence return to the landing site and execute a low level scan of the nearby area. You should start to be able to pick up something now that the storm is passing.=^=

OOC: Since I’ve lost the doctor and engineer.

=^=Ghost of Mr. Gould… do a cargo review. If there isn’t anything missing on the manifest, check the file for edits. There is always a record in the operation drives if someone changes the data. Its a little trick we in science use… don’t tell anyone.=^=

Kolar

=^=Understood Kolar. Standing by.=^= Jason made a gesture in front of his throat to let Toro know that we wanted their broadcast muted. “He’s speaking in code and letting us monitor his communications to the rest of the team. Continue listening in but don’t send anything that will let anyone near him know we’re listening.”

“And this must mean the other shoe has finally dropped…” Trevor said aloud to no one in particular. “We could always storm the ship, we have the numbers.” The Counselor said jokingly.

CNS

“Not until we have probable cause,” Jason muttered. “And between the two of us, Captain Whitney has seniority. We’d need a smoking gun to… Toro, how many life forms are aboard the Sierra? Taking into account the away team and adding that to the crew and passenger compliment, did they pick up or drop off someone while they were down there?”
