The navigators console beeped three single tones meaning that they were imminently about to drop out of warp at the designated co-ordinates. Whatever plans or strategies the crew of the Wolverine had made were soon to be put to the test. Once the ship would drop out of warp you wouldn’t need a view screen to see the extent of the volcanic activity undergoing on the planet below.

An enormousness grey cloud took front and centre engulfing most of the southern continent, a stain on what would otherwise be a beautiful planet much similar to Earths South American region with deep dense untamed jungle areas with long winding rivers into a sea that covered almost 80% of the planet, the unseen colony which laid below the ash cloud was situated in usually dry, humid spot much similar to Egypt. The contrast which showed this planet was indeed not Earth.

The only thing piercing the grey ash cloud was flashes of purple and yellows as volcanic storms raged, a sign of their power was a shuttle badly scorched and marked on an intercept course with the USS Malaga sitting proudly in orbit of the planet. The shuttle also showed signs of power loss if anyone cared to scan it, a new beep would sound as the Malaga attempted to make contact with the Wolverine.

“Fils de pute,” was all Remy could say as he looked at the devastation below. He imagined that the scene was very reminiscent of Christianity’s version of Hell. The sound of the hail brought the Cajun back to reality.

To the Ops officer, he said, “Put the Malaga on screen.”

As the screen switched to the Bridge of the SS Malaga, he reported. “Capt. Townsend, de Wolverine ‘as jus’ dropped out of warp. My people ‘ave dere orders and are ready to go. De Wolverine is capable of surface landine and takeoff. Once we get below de ash cover, our sensors and transports should be able to work more effectively as dere will be less ash to go through. We ‘ave an evacua-SHON limit of 160, so dat should speed tines up considerably.”

Townsend who clearly had a change of clothes and a wash was looking bright eyed and bushy tailed. “Thankyou Captain, though I do think attempting to land on the surface is risky that is your risk to take, there is a large recently ploughed field to the south of the secondary evacuation point which should be large enough and puts you between the Public house and the science lab.” She offered.

He then went on to explain where his people were to be deployed . . . .

As the Captain spoke to the Malaga, Reilly looked at the tactical station. “Get a tractor beam locked on that shuttle asap and get it inside.” and he jabbed a finger at the arm console on his chair. =/\= Bridge to Sickbay, we have possible wounded in a shuttle being brought on board. Medical teams to shuttle bay immediately. =/\=

Reilly, XO

As the message came through from thecaptain she looked up from what she was doing and gave Nobs that knowing look, as he responded she hit her combadge =^=”On our was Captain,Mantis out.: =^=

Ensign Lenore Mantis [Doctor]

Knowing that nurse Noboskie had acquired the necessary medical things she nodded at him as they both headed out of sickbay toward the shuttle bay. taking a finger she pushed her glasses back up the bridge of her nose as they walked hurriedly.

“Captain we’ve been unable to locate one of our crew members, Michael Jacobs. He was last seen heading towards a farmhouse on the outskirts of town after hearing rumours that a group was waiting there, if you do send people that way please keep an eye out for him.” Townsend asked, “Godspeed Captain.” She added.

Any attempt to tractor the shuttle were not met with any resistance.

• GM Narwhal

“We will take advantage of de secondary site, Captain. Merci. I will also ‘ave my teams look out for you crewman. Wolverine out.”

[BUMP] - Someone mentioned there was no bridge post, this is a continued bridge post for the simm.

On board the ship a communication from the Malaga was being received on the bridge.

• GM Narwhal

=^=This is NE Cellcom. Go ahead, Malaga.=^= came the reply from the officer currently in charge of the conn.

NE Cellcom

=^= We’ve detected several new volcanic vents opening, we believe our timeline has been decreased significantly. We’ve also just received word from one of our search parties that our missing crewman has been found injured and unconscious with several lacerations and other injuries. He’d been dragged some distance away from where he’d gone missing and were receiving reports of crab like creatures. We don’t have proof if those are what caused the injures, communication is spotty. Townsend recommends that we increase our efforts in the evacuation, she’s sending two shuttles to the Observatory to finish their and the school reports the last few stragglers are departing soon=^=

“Landing struts are starting to buckle” NE Cellcom was just about to respond to the Malaga and tell them that they had too pick up the shift in activity when the internal communication system rang their chief engineer’s voice.

=^= Bridge this is Lt. Petrov. Prepare to lift off=^=

=^=Understood Lieutenant, preparing lift of sequence=^= Cellcom the senior officer on the bridge began giving out orders when another message came across the external communications frequency leaving him to wonder if there would be any letter up today, this voice was their XOs.

=/\= XO to Wolverine. We have a problem. There is an indigenous species on the planet. This Search and Rescue just became First Contact as well. =/\=

Cellcom let out a long breath of air as he slowly came into realisation, =^= Understood commander, we have just been ordered to take off as new seismic activity has caused a lava pocket to form around the Wolverine. Malaga is also reporting crab like creature sightings, which I can assume is the first contact you’re referring too. Once the ship is airborne and safe we shall attempt to assist you sir.=^= After his message he looked to the panel, =^=Enginering, bridge all station reporting lift of preparations complete.=^= Celcom just needed the order.

• NE Cellcomm

The turbo lift doors opened and Mikel stepped onto the Bridge. He looked at the Lt. Jg who had the Bridge.

“Lt. You are relieved. Take Ops.” He ordered.

The young Lt. did as she was ordered.

“Prepare Lift off. Max altitude 1000 meters. Plot to the Captain’s last location.” He ordered.

“Course laid in, the ash cloud means we will have to navigate on instruments alone with luck the ship won’t be affected by the electromagnetic energy it’s creating.” Replied the helmsman she double-checked her co-coordinates, it wouldn’t take long at all to have the ship airborne and over the Captains last known location, she hoped however the ship could make it airborne.

“With the modifications I made to the transporters we can sweep them up much easier if we are above them.” He said out loud so the crew understood his intentions.

Cellman was relieved to have been relived to his usual position at the operations, only just recently promoted he thought his first stint at being the on-duty officer would be a quiet one and allow him to get a feel for command but already in his tenure the ship was in danger.

“Lift off.” He ordered as he settled into the Captain’s chair. A seat he did not remember ever sitting in before.

Petrov CE/aCO

“Aye sir” replied the helmsman. The ship rumbled as its atmospheric thrusters strained at the pull from the Lava, though molten some of the upper layers that had hit the landing strut had started to harden. “Just a little resistance” She explained as she gave it a little more juice and slowly but surely the ship began to rise. “We’re free, though landing strut one isn’t retracting. If we’re to save it before going into orbit we’ll need to retract it.” From the outside molten rock fell from the ships first landing strut. “Course plotted for the captain’s last known location, sir.”

• NE Bridge Crew.

“Leave off the strut. Its not a concern right now. As soon as we are overhead open a com to the Captain.” He ordered.

Petrov CE

The NE nodded, “Yes sir” and continued as ordered.

Before the call could be made, the comms console chirped and the CO’s voice came over the speakers. =^= Mr. Petrov, we are out of time and need an emergency transport on all life signs in my vicinity. De building is goine up in flames. Get a lock on Ens. Theinna and beam him up as well.=^=

Boudreaux (CO)

As the Wolverine like a salmon swimming upstream a heavy flowing river it moved its way through the ash until finally stopping above the public house. Around the buildings below molten lava could be seen weaving its way through the streets, some buildings ablaze already. “Sir with the modifications we can beam those in the public house as long as they are all together, we’re having problems trying to locate Ens Theinna though Sir.”

• NE Bridge crew

Petrov was not a sentimentalist nor a Vulcan with cold hard logic. However it was clearly a straight forward decision.

‘Beam everyone out of the Public House. As soon as they are on beam the Ensign.” He ordered with a cool manner.

He knew there was a good chance the Ensign would not make it. He also knew what he had to do.
