Baker headed over to Black and said, “Ensign, you’re with me. There’s a Jem’Hadar ship buried in that planetoid and we’re going to investigate. Follow me to the shuttle bay. Bring a phaser and tricorder, just in case.” With that he headed to the turbo lift and took it to the shuttle bay.

When he got there he went straight into a shuttle and started prepping her for launch.

James heard jem hadar and picked a type one phaser , and put it in his boot. Plus a type three phaser. Grabbing a tricorder he double timed it to the shuttle sat next to baker strapped in , “ hello im ensign black , we have not met yet.

The ensign seemed full of energy, which threw Baker off briefly. Regaining himself he nodded and said, “Basil Baker, Petty Officer.” He extended his hand out to Black to shake.
“I’ll pilot us out,” Baker said punching in the correct commands into the shuttle, “Keep an eye on our scanners as we approach. That ship may look incapacitated, but I don’t want to take any chances with the Jem’Hadar. They’re a nasty bunch. Could even give Klingons a run for their money.”
Baker hit the comm on the shuttle to patch them to the bridge. =^=Baker to bridge, we’re ready to launch.=^=

-Petty Officer Baker (Tac/Spec)

=^= Captain Erin here, Petty Officer. =^= Bryson announced to the shuttle. =^= Proceed with launch and good luck, Wolverine out. =^=

=^=Understood=^= Basil said over the Comm unit, =^=Baker out.=^=

James shook bakers hand, as he checked out the gear on him,To make sure that it was ready. ”I just graduated from the academy, this is my first ship. The ensign looked anxiously at the floor trying to count the rivets, he was ready for his first mission. He just hopes that it’s wasn’t his last.

Basil looked over the ensign and tried to mask a disconcerted look. He was going to investigate a Jem’Hadar ship with a green ensign fresh out of the academy. He steeled himself for what lay ahead and began to punch in the commands for their departure. As they left the shuttle bay, Basil quoted, “They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.”

The shuttle slid smoothly through space en route to the planetoid that looked not unlike the old comic strip personality ‘The Thing’ - mottled and lumpy with coloration on the orange to brown to black. For a small world it looked more like a bruise in space. As the shuttle drew closer sensors were able to pick out the identified corroded nose of the Jen’Hadar vessel. Closer optical magnification would show it to be wedged between the walls of what may have been a cavern behind, but certainly it had to have been there for a reason. There was no immediate power readings. They would need to be in closer for better scans, though initial scans show a cavity behind the dead ship.

Baker looked at the readings he was getting on the ship and piloted closer, hoping to get more conclusive readings. “There seems to be a cavern behind the ship.” He said to Black, “I’m moving us in to get a better look.” Looking at the seemingly dead Jem’Hadar ship, a stray quotation drifted into his mind.
“Here lies a toppled god.
His fall was not a small one.
We did but build his pedestal,
A narrow and a tall one.”
He said the quotation to himself as he maneuvered the shuttle closer towards the wrecked vessel of the once mighty enemy of the federation.

-Petty Officer Baker (Tac/Spec)

“I wonder if the jem hadar went into the cavren ? “James tried to scan the cavern, with the ships sensors. As baker piloted the ship, scaning for life signs. As he hailed the ship. As per regulations.

There were no life signs that they could detect.

Beyond the Jem’hadar ship, at a closer vantage, they could see that the walls of the chamber beyond wove inward following what appeared to be a natural cavity and cavern. Here and there they could see in the immediate chamber/tunnel places where edges had been phasered off, areas smoothed, and, more ominously perhaps a hard point in a wall section not far in where a weapons emplacement was. No power reading was coming from it, however. The effectiveness of the shuttle sensors were hindered beyond the turn ahead in the chamber/tunnel. There were suggestions of more but they would need to get in to see. Two things were noteworthy here:
1. The planetoid looked to not be too stable as fissures and fault lines look like they had cracked the likely more even vista of the chamber
2. It was possible that the shuttle, not being ‘that’ big, could with some finicky flying slip past the Jem’hadar ship. The chamber beyond would easily fit the shuttle where the Jem’hadar ship was much larger, well, less a little squishing.

Baker looked at the cave. “I don’t like this at all.” He said looking over the scan results, “Looks a trap to me. Call it in Ensign?”

Petty Officer Baker

“I agree “ =^= this is ensign black we located the Jem’hadar vessel no life signs,yet we certainly don’t know if they are in the cavern we sense an ambushing situation . =^=

Ensign James black security

What emplacements that they were able to scan and focus in on appeared to have the same metal deterioration that plagued the trapped Jem’hadar ship. While a trap was possible - what military site didn’t employ some measure of such measures - what they were able to scan was quite non functional at least in appearance.

=^= Are you able to beam aboard, Ensign?=^= Captain Erin asked, glad to finally receive an update from the team. =^= If so, head to their command center and see if you’re able to gather and logs..=^=

Baker nodded as he started to do a more in-depth scan of the Jem’hadar ship to see if it could support them should they beam over. He liked the idea of going aboard the abandoned ship more than trying to explore that cavern.

-Petty Officer Baker, Tac/Spec

Scans showed life support had been compromised and they’d need to beam in suited up.
- Wookiee

=^= yes sir we will need Environmental suits but we can beam aboard,=^= basil lets suit up.
Ensign James black security

Baker nodded and, after stabilizing the shuttle, went to the back to put on his suit. Once he had it on he looked to James and said, “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, Or close the wall up with our English dead.” He then began to ready the transporter to beam them to the Jem’Hadar bridge.

-Petty Officer Baker, Tac/Spec

James checked his environmental suit ,and reading his phaser. Looked at baker “ let’s go, but be careful.”

Ensign James black security

OOC: Don’t forget to cross post to the Bridge thread :) Rn the CO doesn’t know that you’re about to beam over.

-Ray

=^= we are suited up and armed,ready to beam aboard with your go ahead.=^=

Ensign James black security

OOC: Just retitling. Hold off on a reply, I may have someone join you on the away team.

-Ray

Not long after, the comms console in the shuttle beeped and a message came through. The voice at the other end was thick with a Cajun accent.

=^=Monsieur Baker, this is Boudreaux, calline from de SS Gambit. I will meet you aboard de Jem’Hadar ship.=^=

As soon as he materialized, Remy began to go over the controls in the pilot’s seat in an attempt to access the ship’s logs and data.

Boudreaux (Intel)

Baker furrowed his brow at the voice on the comm before giving a shrug to Black. “And they say I’ve got an accent.” The scot said readied for transport. “With Wr. Boudreaux on the ship, I think we should have someone remain here incase we need help. Sound good Ensign?” At Black’s ascent, Baker was beamed aboard the ship.

Baker never liked the environmental suits. Never comfortable and limited his vision. Still, when they were needed, they served their purpose. When he materialized on the ship, he saw a man he took to be Boudreaux at the controls. He walked over and activated his comm speaker in the suit. =/\=Mr. Boudreaux, I presume?=/\= Baker said, his accent slurring his S’s in SH’s. =/\=Have you managed to get anything off the logs? perhaps an explanation as to why this ship is here?=/\=

The bridge was dark and required lighting to see and get around. As it was it was a standard, decentralized design with the command area in the center, three tubular individual consoles standing from the deck. Aft was a door just to the left of a larger set of tubular consoles with a dark full wall sized display behind. The rest of the bridge was filled out by a third similar larger console set up and forward viewscreen and near the rear an access hatch. To complete the picture there was a quite dead, somewhat desiccated but otherwise intact Jem’hadar soldier floating in the null gravity of the ship. Unfortunately there were no seats; evidently they felt they were unnecessary. One thing they did note was that the metal surfaces looked pitted, old - certainly older than they were, a visible reminder of the corrosion from this part of space. The more ceramic or glassy display portions were, to this point, relatively unaffected though who knew what the metal components underlying it would show.

There was no power to the bridge so any accessing of, well, anything would need to have external power and a prayer that the connections held from there to their data stores.
