The ion storm was becoming a pest but the Viking could weather that. Alternate spectrum visuals showed waves like that of a hurricane approaching. At the moment they were in the first outer rings - wave fronts of the storm were passing through like hugely wide waves on a seashore. One just passed and they were ‘between’ waves at the moment - where they noted the shuttle just emerging from the planet’s atmosphere. It had taken a hit and her power was considerably reduced and limping toward the Viking.

=/\=Mackenzie to the Viking, as soon as we’re in transporter range beam the two injured we have aboard and the doctor straight to sickbay. We’re on our return now and will meet the rest in the shuttle bay. Have engineering note that the shuttle is likely damaged. Mackenzie out.=/\=
