Peter neared the shuttle just in time to here the sneering voice mocking the Captain, it seemed to take a special pleasure in torturing her in particular. In fact he was certain that most people were left alone “Ignore it” He said trying his best impression of a comforting smile. The large man stepped into the shuttle, grabbing his phaser out of its holster and checking it one more time “Viktoryia trusts you, I trust you, this crew trusts you. Besides, no way in hell am I flying this bucket.”

CIO

The voice of her dear friend did much to diminish the mental hold from the computer and Kara found herself roaring with laughter. “There was a time when I excelled at ignoring that damned thing,” she replied. “I even gave a few well aimed shots in return, once or twice. But it appears I am out of practice. I have been away from the Viking for too long.”

Turning now to focus fully on the CIO, a wide smile spread across the half-Klingon’s face. “It pleases me greatly that you are on this away team, Peter,” she informed him, before adding, with another roaring laugh, “It is always beneficial for me to have a wall to hide behind.”

OOC: Anyone else who would like to join the away team, please jump in :)

Lucas entered the shuttlebay to roaring laughter. He walked over with an easy grin and phaser holstered to his hip.

“True friends always block danger from the front.” He quipped.

COS Mackenzie

Peter turned back and gave the Security Chief a friendly smile “I don’t know if the two of you have ever been formally introduced, Lieutenant Lucas Mckenzie” He gestured the Security chief who under normal circumstances was the largest person in any room “Captain Kara Nakuto, Captain of the Viking before Ravenfall. I served under her on the Curie a long time ago” Although he was certain they were both well aware of each other.

CIO

OOC: Pasting Matt back in so we don’t split the thread:

Lucas nodded cordially to Kara, “First time officially meeting you when the ship isn’t rocking or with distress signals. Looking forward to working with you.”

COS Mackenzie

“Lt Mackenzie,” Nakuto greeted the CoS with a nod, before adding as an aside, “This ship is always under distress!”
Her eyes took in the physical form of the towering CoS, before shifting to appraise the equally colossal CIO. It was often the case that, on an away team, Kara Nakuto herself represented the most physically intimidating member and yet here she was in danger of being dwarfed by them both!
“What a fine band of warriors we make, ” she roared appreciatively. “I am glad to have you on the team, Lt Mackenzie.”

A few Medical Ensigns walked up to the shuttle, one of them speaking. “Are we ready to go?”

GMT Munchlax

Kristi joined those walking in last. Mike had asked her to join the team at the last minute. She had no idea what she would be needed for. But Chief Stone said she had to take a tool box, grab the shuttle hit, and join the team So she did just that. Once in the shuttle, strapping in after stowing the kits, she nodded with generalized murmurs of hello to everyone then settled back to see what was gonna happen.

“Indeed we are ready,” Kara replied, the shuttle’s door beginning to slide to a close even as the final medic was still clambering inside. From the helm, the half-Klingon turned to view her passengers. “Strap yourselves in. This will be a bumpy ride.”

Seconds later and the shuttle rose into the air, bobbing from one side to the other as if caught in a violent air current. Before them the massive shuttle bay door juddered open and they were greeted by the black void of space beyond.
“Heghlu’meH QaQ jajvam (today is a good day to die)!” Nakuto roared, then without further warning the craft shot forwards and they found themselves plummeting down towards the planet below.

Peter, who had taken the copilots seat, instinctively grabbed the console with a massive hand as they flew away “No it really isn’t” He said in answer to the common Klingon phrase, he could understand much more of the Klingon Language than he could speak but that was a phrase common enough to most people to recognize “Flying down to Planet deathtrap is not my ideal deathday.” He was only half-joking.

CIO

At Peter’s side, Nakuto emitted another roar of laughter.
“Look at it this way, Commander. At least you are away from the Viking. And for that I would submit to a thousand away missions.”

As the shuttle continued in its rapid descent, the atmosphere from the planet was hurriedly rushing up to meet them. Turning over her shoulder to glance at the other passengers, Kara called out, “I trust we are all well back there? I hope that nobody suffers from motion sickness.”
