Dagen, Kalos and Deeg entered the transporter room. It was manned by Ebenezer Finch, a slim, slightly bent figure who was also strikingly bald. He was a petty officer who, Dagen would say, came with the ship. Looking aged, he could have been in the first iteration of the Genesis, whatever that was and when. Finch could have been a statue, but slowly turned his head at their approach.

“Status, Chief?” Dagen asked.

“Transporters on line, on standby. Is there a problem?” His eyes moved from one to the other thinking three present was a veritable invasion of his sanctum. Stepping aside to let Dagen look, he scanned the controls.

“Some possible problem with the away mission. We need to hold a lock on them.” Dagen worked the controls, seeking to find that contact.

They were able to lock onto the away team. There were certain compensations that needed to be done as they were now underground. Fortunately, there were not materials around them that could effectively block the transporter signal.

Dagen looked at each of the ‘blips’ marking the Away Team and their identities. With a start he realized that his wife was one of them. So much for communication, or his memory. But the signals were good. “Deeg, do a geo-analysis of the area of the team, say a kilometer around them and isolate any areas that may be problematic for transporting.” Maybe he was being a bit paranoid but best be safe.
Deeg shuffled to a wall display. “I’ll add a factor in of probable routes away from their present location.”
Finch moved over to the right of the transporter pad where another bank of readouts were. The way he moved it was more like a mortuary worker. “I will run power simulations and beam integrity for depth in the event we need to dig deeper to get them out.”

“Looks good for any reasonable distance, Chief,” Deeg said, letting Dagen view the geo-analysis.

“But look what’s going on upstairs,” he said. “We’ve got a real-time Zefram Cochrane going on here.” He tapped at a second screen he had up which they all crowded around to see, well, all but for Finch who shrugged and moved to the transporter controls.

Bump ..

It didn’t take too long for the excitement of this to move from a ‘wow’ to a ‘okay, they’re on their way back and will be okay unless something really not good happened onboard. “Commander,” Finch said. It sounded a bit like Death calling one ‘home’. Dagen shivered. “We’re getting a note from the bridge. Someone may be beaming down to join the away team. Shall I plot out possible beaming locations?”

Dagen tried to think of what they were doing and looked at the plot of the away team. “Plot a location protocol near the away team and another just out of sight of the aliens.”

“Very good, Commander,” Finch said.

The vessel reached the upper atmosphere of the planet and gravity took over. As it descended the hull temperature increased. The material of the hull was not able to take the heat for an extended amount of time. Just as a meltdown was going to occur, a set of thrusters activated and slowed down the descent, preventing a total meltdown of the vessel. Just as it reached 2500 metres, another set of thrusters came on to slow down the vessel even more and guide the vessel in a general horizontal flight path with a slight decline. The vessel was led thus to the launch site.
