=/\= Cara Meow to Captain Glen. Doctor Hunter has taken Michael Duck back to Sickbay. The doctor’s opinion is that he is overcome with grief. I can’t get any more from him than Hunter already informed you, which isn’t very much. He knows nothing about what has happened during the last 8 months as he was just a miner, and isolated from whatever happened on Unity. I also see no reason not to inform him that we found his brother’s body as he realises he is dead already. =/\=

The Captain replied. =/\= Very Good. Tell Hunter to proceed with that. Standby as I will be announcing a landing party shortly. Glen Out. =/\=

“Yes, we are only going to make progress by boots on the ground,” Glen announced, “and although I have serious safety concerns about us going down to the planet, both from both immunological and security viewpoints, I think it is the only option other than going back home. So, I’ll be drawing up two landing party lists as outlined earlier by NE Boline. (One group to go down in a shuttle modified to handle the water depths at one or both impact sites, and/or another then go down via transporter in local garb with faked IDs as one of those remote hermit groups coming into one of the towns for supplies and news etc.)

=/\= Lt. Mullins. I need you to modify a shuttle to handle water pressure at depth. =/\= Glen sent.

Max then responded to the captain’s request, =/\=Very well sir. I will get right on that with NE Lécuyer. It should not take all that long. We should just be able to modify the shields to repel the extra gravity force. Do you have an idea of how deep we are going to go? NE Lécuyer and myself will be heading down to the shuttlebay so it might take a few minutes for me to be able to know what you are saying. Give me 10 minutes on your response please, if possible. Thank you.=/\=

Max then jumped up from his desk and went out into engineering. Max saw Megane at a station and said, “Ensign Lécuyer, please come with me to the shuttlebay. We need to modify a shuttle in order to handle the pressure of going underwater.” He then made sure Megane went first and followed her to the shuttlebay. After a few minutes, they arrived at the shuttle bay. He then hit the communication in the shuttlecraft and said =/\=Lt Mullins to Bridge. Ensign Lécuyer and myself are now in the shuttlebay making changes to the shuttle to prepare for underwater travel. The modifications should not take long. I will report when the shuttle is ready. =/\= He then looked over at Lécuyer and said, “Let us get started in getting this shuttlecraft ready for underwater travel. We can make the change based on the depth we get from the bridge. Lets start at 1000 ft but need to be able to increase if needed.” NE Lécuyer then responded, “Yes sir.” They then begin making the needed changes to the shuttlecraft to have it handle the water pressure at 1000 ft deep based on the pressure of the earth with the small calculation change if the gravity was any different on the planet they were going to head down to. The continued to work while Max waited on the response from the bridge about the potential depth so he knew if they needed to change it from the 1000 ft or not.

=/\= Lt. Meow. I need local garb disguises to fit team B. Research and await a list of sizes required. =/\= Glen sent.

“Lance, I’ll have the list for fake IDs soon. If you can make that so by hacking the government computer again please,” Glen told him.

Lance nodded and jotted down in his book under the list of things he never expected to be told hack the government computer again please.

He looked forward to his next video call with Nila, hacking government computers would most definitely be a moment for celebration.

“Aye Sir, just tell me when”.

“Okay everyone, the teams will be as follows:

Team A (Meteor Impact sites by shuttle)

Lead by - CE Mullins (Clayton)
Science - CSO Malone (Andrea)
Security - Guy Fleegman (Dave)
Medical - CMO Cross (Marthese)
NE ??

Team B (One of towns by transporter)

Lead by - Captain Glen (Dave)
Science - Cara Meow (Dave)
Science - NE (Andrea)
Security - Richard Sharpe (Marthese)
Medical - Dr Hunter (Marthese)
Engineering - NE Lécuyer (Clayton)
NE ??

Cross spoke to Max ‘’ When you are done with the shuttle please call me .In the meantime I’ll inform Hunter and Sharpe ‘’ she knew the security well as he was often stationed at sickbay.
What she was not sure of was if she had to change her uniform,since her presence would be the shuttle.

Taking out her transmitter she called Hunter =/\= Doctor the Captain wants you with the landing party,change your uniform and wear anything you have that have seen better days and go to the transporter room ,another party shall be in a shuttle where the meteor impact took place …I shall be inside that shuttle =/\= .

She then contacted the security ,telling him pretty much what she had told Hunter after receiving their acknowledgment ,Cross had two more question ‘’Shall I change my uniform as well and are we to conceal our phasers or weapons are not permitted? ‘’ she asked .

Cross CMO.

“I have a really bad feeling about this!” said Guy.

• Guy, Sec

Glen had realised that Cross was speaking to him. “Oh! You mean, ‘disguises and concealed equipment in Team A’? You are aboard the shuttle investigating underwater meteor sites, and a shuttle is quite obvious, so no need. And let’s hope all the diseases you are concerned about don’t exist too! Or mind parasites, walking trees or xenophobic predators! But it’s up to Lt. Mullins if he thinks you’ll need them later on?”
