Off in the distance, the science group could start to both hear and feel a tremor. Something was coming at them fast and furious.

“Sir we are approaching the team’s position. We should be reaching them in two minutes,” a Beltran officer interrupted the group.

The once-empty space filled with vehicles with the rescue teams and the science facility group waiting to be rescued.

“It’s times like this I wish I had my field kit on me.” he said sounding a little worried as he visually scanned the area for environmental features he could use as a quick trap or deadfall if it became necessary.

Reia I couldn’t exactly remember who the hell this person was. Had he been there all along? Was he a newcomer, no that wasn’t possible was it? Was he even starfleet? He had to be right? Oh well, did it really matter right now they were probably about to die or something.

“The joke where I’m from is that nearly everything that swimming flying or breathing basically wants to kill you. I used to wear that with a badge of honor but, I didn’t think it would be that way in space. I wish it was a spider and I could just climb these damn walls.”

• Reia, CIO/Comms

Magnus jumped out of one of the vehicles and scanned the group, giving Thor and Reia a nod. Although his uniform did look a little scuffed his hair was still perfectly styled and even with the borrowed rifle he didn’t seem to have had any difficulties these past few hours “I have a pizza delivery for a Dagen?” he called out and grinned.

The carnage of the vehicles did not affect the Beltran’s as much as it did the Federation officers. It was as if they half expected to find the broken and bloodied vehicles sitting like empty coffins. “Were the vehicles like this when you found them?” Lago’s tone was tight and commanding authority. He did not address the question to any one person but the group.

Tom stepped forward knowing no-one would remember that he had come down with them except Dagen as Reia looked puzzled at his presence as well.

“Yes, they vehicles were like this when we arrived.” he replied, “Gore and all.”

  =/\=Hey…anyone still alive on the end of this line? I was shot down in a shuttle at the halfway point between you guys and the Imperial palace.
  I am holed up in a village about 50 clicks from the palace and about the same from you.=/\= Dean’s voice crackled through the comms. The connection he established was rudimentary but effective enough to send sparse messages from his location to both the away team and the Captain.

  The Federation team’s signal seemed to only be able to reach Dean’s cutting them off from the Imperial palace and their Captain. The science teams would be smart enough to figure out if Dean was able to reach them and they were unable to reach the palace, Dean was acting almost as a relay beacon between them. This would be odd with the advanced comm systems of the Federation. The only logical reason would be that the Beltran’s were blocking the signal but to what end? Only General Lago might be able to explain.
