William froze in the act of standing up. He hadn’t expected anything like that happening despite knowing full-well that anything could and was not unlikely to happen. He frowned at the shuttle console before tapping the comms console and answering =^=Understood NE Kahuna, please keep us informed of any developments no matter how minor, keep an active transporter lock on all away team members=^= Hopefully with the new CMO heading to the planet any injuries could be dealt with on the Planet. The Captain wouldn’t appreciate being pulled away without being able to give assistance. “Let’s get going, the faster we can help them with this the faster we can be back on the Merrimack” He did want to go back to the Bridge but they still had a job of work to do.

=/\= Aye Sir =/\= replied Kahuna.

Tia had been running scans on the portable equipment to be sure they could use it once they got to the ship. When the alert came from the Merri, she was grateful for NE responding. “Definitely…” helping others is one thing, needing to help the ship was another. And like the CSO, Tia hated not being their in this moment when they were needed.

Stepping from the shuttle, she carried her tool container in one hand and scanner in the other. She made sure whatever was leaking wasn’t going to be an addition issue to the human crew and proceeded to where a cluster of Altair seemed to be a more organized and in charge group. As she approached, she spoke up not wanting to seem like they were sneaking. “I’m Tia. We’re here to help if we can.” She nodded to the others behind her.

The Alstair female came up to them, pausing in their sing song speech tones as the UT did its job. =/\= I am unknown word, perhaps a name, good that you are here, we have stabilized the main fusion cells with fresh ones from our own ship. We are currently working to bring the ship’s computer plant back online and could use a hand there. We could also use a hand working on analyzing those records of its navigation charts to see where it was and how it got back here.=/\= She said.

William nodded “I think Lieutenant Ezial can get the ship’s computer up” He looked at the Chief Engineer and nodded “I can take a look at those charts, more my area”

CSO

The Alstair female nodded to them. =/\= This way then. =/\= She said leading them up a stair well which soon narrowed a bit to a open corridor. =/\= Pardon the bit of smoke there had been a brief electric fire when we boarded. =/\= She added. Leading them through a slightly acrid stanched patch of smoke. Then up another flight of steps to an open bay area where what seemed the ship’s print out center and computer plant were contained.
