snipKanto pointed at the simulation he had run on the viewscreen. “It is a risk, Captain, but I believe that we can move in to begin the rescue. We could be trapped, but we may need to weigh the reward of saving those people with the risk to the ship.”
-Lt. Jg. Kanto, Science
“What’s the approximate risk that we get trapped or do we not know this?” Cassandra asked, knowing it was now time to play the mathematical game of determining whether the risk was worth it, given the number of souls on board the ship that were under her authority as Captain.
~Cassandra Rixan~
Risk analysis would indicate that being trapped was a 82% probability at some time should they go ahead with that.
However it also stated that there was only a 21% chance that the ‘stuck’ would last, and another avenue of escape would come up.
That being said, should they become trapped, during that time there was a 63% chance that there could arise an issue with icebergs closing in.
- WookieeKanto relayed the mathematical risk with a serenity that would almost make you think that he was the computer relaying the information. “I will continue running simulations as an aside until I can come up with something safer, but the people on that ship need us.” He said all of this while remaining utterly Vulcan in his posture, but the captain could almost hear the very real concern underlying his stoic demeanor.

Kate leaned against the back of the bridge and observed the going ons with a trained eye. She didn’t have any input at the moment, but she was curious to see what the CO’s decision might be balancing these odds.
Trent, COS
As the numbers kept going by - changing with each minute - there came to be formed better simulations that rendered a somewhat - 9% safer - variable. That being said, the current ‘hole’ was closing in seconds and it would be a matter of minutes before another opened up.
A large cluster of icebergs was approaching their location that will require a course correction.
Meanwhile, the descending duo of prospector ships was facing another danger. A good sized ice berg, jagged and shaped not unlike a Ferengi vessel intercepted the ships, causing a collision on its surface. The distress call that was automated suddenly went out.

Seeing the explosion of activity from her vantage point on the bridge, Kate decisively made her way to a nearby console. Her fingers easily flew over the controls as she glanced through the information presented.
“Captain, we have an iceberg approaching our location,” she reported briskly.
Trent, COS
Kanto saw that based on the differences in time from when he saw the data on his screen to the transfer of data to the navigation console and realized that he could increase their chances of survival if he were able to act on the data as soon as it appeared on the navigation screen. He could reduce that time even more if he were to actually be in the navigation chair. “Transferring sensor controls to navigation station,” he called out, then ran over to the NE manning the navigation console. He touched the cadet on the shoulder, implying that he should let the Vulcan take over. As Kanto stepped into the chair, he called out to Lieutenant Trent. “Lieutenant, how accurate are you with phaser control systems? We might need to make a hole.”
