It was a day or so later when the Sentinel dropped out of warp near the Sigma system soon entering orbit of Sigma 9. They soon were receiving a general hail from the colony admin greeting their arrival and to please beam down ASAP to begin their investigation.

Elijah was sat in his chair, the journey to the Sigma system was relatively quiet but had divided his time up between visiting each department, finalising some paperwork and the bridge, it wasn’t by chance he had been on the bridge when the dropped out of warp “Ensign Carson confirm current position and time before reporting to the transporter room, Helm set the Sentinel in geosynchronous orbit above the colony. Communications lets see what the colony have to say for us, put the communication on screen.”

From the engineering station, a somewhat irritated voice spoke up, although the speaker did not turn to face the room.
“I am afraid you will be unable to use the transporters, Captain. My team have been working on them for the last two days. Of course, had we been granted advance access to primary systems, as I requested to the Admiral three weeks ago, then this issue might not have occurred.”

Silence resumed. Followed a few moments later by a murmured, “Co-operation appears to be a task wholly outside most of the Federation’s grasp.”

The lift doors swished open and Ford released the handle inside. He stepped onto the outer ring of the bridge, eyes sweeping, taking in the current crew before he approached the captain’s chair.

“My men are ready and will meet us in the transporter room - or the shuttle bay,” he glanced to T’Pria, having heard grumbles from some of the engineering crew about the issues with the transporters. “…at your order,” he told the captain. He lifted a case. “I have weapons for the rest of the team.”

“If I may, Cap,” he said, moving the case to hold in both hands before his waist. “I’d suggest a complement from each division for the investigation. Science to review evidence, medical in case we find injured - or dead. An engineer will be helpful in the mines.”
