Scans for sensor sweeps reported the same as before so far on the planet, though again the power interference was throwing off some areas where people could be. Comm traffic across the colony area was equally full of static or dead lines with nothing new to report.

Quinn looked at the Captain, her stoic expression hiding her excitement. “Aye, Sir,” she replied and headed to the comms to send a message down to security. =/\= Ensign Ovik, prepare a security team and meet us in the transporter room. Make sure they’re prepared to engage hostiles if needs be. At present, we don’t know what’s out there. Phy-Knight out. =/\=

Amber switched frequencies, altered the incoming static the best she could, all to no avail. “I’m getting no comm traffic across the surface or off of it. It’s like no one is there.” The thought was disconcerting, to say the least. Over a colony like this, there should have been chatter everywhere. And especially after whatever had just happened down there.

OOC: Question for Amber, are you scanning for live feeds or any kind of feeds?

((Anything she can pick up from the planet or from in space))

Black Wolf turned in his seat to look at the communications officer. He looked concerned. She was right, there should be some kind of communications going on: an SOS, messages from other colonies on the surface, something should be there. “Ens. Josen, once the landing party checks in from the surface, I want the comm channel to stay open, so that we can hear what’s going on and can beam them up at a moment’s notice.”

He turned in the direction of the science station. “Mr. Savage, find out what kind of communications array the colony implemented. Try to lock in on it and see if it’s still functional to any degree.

“Yes, Sir,” Amber replied to the order. As Wolf mentioned the away team, a small panic crashed into her chest. Being directly behind Wolf, now that he was in the Captain’s chair, he might possibly overhear her murmur.

“Please don’t let their be block on them....” It had dawned on her, suddenly, that if comms were being blocked, they may not have access to the team on the surface. It was late now, but she needed to check on that as well.
