NE Hepps nearby who was also loading a crate on an anti-grav cart to the shuttle spoke hearing Luna’s comment. “..Why would they attack? They’re a peaceful Federation colony since 2165 since just after the founding of the Federation. What would they even attack us with? The closest modern stuff of weapons are a handful of old Type 2 phasers from back in the 2330s. If you ask me the whole society seems a lot like those Amish folks on Earth and other similar colonies. Laid back, peaceful folks just wanting to not get involved with modern society or tech influences. Even if they do attack us with pitchforks or even the old phasers the Ark Angel would have us beamed up and the shuttles auto piloted back out into space before much happened. Since they got no orbital pods or anything else what would they do then?” he asked.

” I never said it was the colonist ensign. you jump to conclusions. If you know the them i speak about then you know if you don5 then you are lucky” Luna said simply.

NE Hepps shrugged a bit, “..My mistake then ma’am. Just voicing my thoughts to your words..” he said.

” Im sorry i have to be criptic with this one for your safty both of yours safty” She said gentlay.

Raith noticed Luna’s change in posture and furrowed his brows. “I’m inclined to agree with the good man here, Luna,” He said in his stiff British way, “I’m not getting a sense of danger here on this mission. Especially not from people who choose to live in a culture so far behind our own. Granted you may be right about another threat lurking in the dark, but I just don’t see it.”

” Then you are fare more lucky then I am. Just trust me when i tell you to duck or run” She said almost cryptically.

Lieutenant Gavin Stacey, Ensign Thomas Buckingham, and Ensign Johnathan Baptiste arrived in the shuttle bay 2. “Any one know which shuttle we are supposed to board?” asked Johnathan as the walked into the busy shuttle bay.

Just as the last of the boxes got loaded the Captain’s female voice came over the ship comms, =/\= Andone to shuttlebay 2, bays 1, 3, and 4 are ready to launch their two shuttles with cargo. You got both of yours secured and loaded for launch? =/\= She asked.

Ensign M’Lene nervously popped her head round the door to see everyone gathered. She hadn’t had chance to meet many of the crew yet and she certainly hadn’t expected to be going on an away mission so soon after coming aboard. She sidled up to the only person she recognized, the handsome young doctor who had done her boarding physical. She gently tapped Baptiste on the shoulder and whispered “hi again…any idea where I’m supposed to go?” She asked nervously as she tugged on her uniform.

“I don’t suppose Lieutenant Azon is heading down in the first wave?” Gavin said as he stepped up to the Science Officer, “Nevermind that, you can join my team in the shuttle and wait for orders on the ground.” Seeing that the shuttles were all loaded and crew were standing by, Doctor Stacey motioned for his team to board their shuttle.

=^= Medical and Science is ready to launch, Captain. =^= The CMO called out over the shuttle’s comm system.

Raith saw the medical and science teams ready to launch and looked about to see where Anders would be directing the security teams.

Luna also waited for direction.

Mar spoke to the Deck Chief and smiled. “Ok folks. So pile in to the shuttles. We will get orders and sorted on the ground. Captain wants us launched as soon as possible.” She helped everyone settle into one of the three shuttles.

She, herself, moved to the one Kyle was in and settled into a seat as he finished his conversation.

OOC: Moving on! And retitling the thread

Once everyone was seated in the two shuttles loaded down with the assorted smaller cargo in the rear the two craft departed soon entering the atmosphere of the planet below. Within minutes after only slight bumps in their descent they cleared into the open air and were closing in on the colony below. Looking it over it was indeed the perfect image of a early-mid 1800s era style life and culture. Large farms and houses, large fields of crops and farm animals both native and Earth based, several steam and water driven wheels or generators, and several animal driven plows, vehicles, and such. A few folks peered up from their work in the fields or homes at the shuttle’s approach to the main colony hub which had four moderate sized detailed sites laid out for two shuttles or later a single runabout to land on each. The main colony hub was about the only more modern looking place for miles around.

It was a large prefab unit commonly used by many colonies in the early 2330s-40s one of the first to use isolinear based systems at the time. Likely the colony had one of an older model torn down around then and this one put up if only to generally keep up on the times of hardware should modern needs come up. It was laid out like a large question mark in shape. The lower ‘dot’ of the mark were made up of the clustered four landing sites, while the curving upper part made up three large four story buildings that were the colony administration, defense/security hub, and main fusion generator/computer/parts storage.

As the shuttles one by one touched down on the four pads nearby several colonists all wearing early-mid 1800s style clothes but ready to assist in the unloading with thankfully older style anti-grav carts were waiting in the wings. Once the teams would exit their craft a well tanned human man wearing a pair of blue-jean shirt and pants slightly caked in a bit of dried mud (or perhaps animal dung?) stepped up and extending his hand with a smile to the XO first off. Given his slightly cleaner hands he had probably taken a quick chance to wash up a bit for their meeting before coming here. “..Welcome to Losa colony Commander! I’m dock master chief Barney Styles. So I was told the first haul would mostly be the smaller stuff right? Letters, care packages, gifts and such. Anything bigger then our arms we’ll load up on the carts behind me..” he said, the man had a strong firm but friendly grip and smile. His calloused hands showed he was no stranger to hard work even going into the late 40s-early 50s of age that his body showed. Stepping back then he looked over the rest of the party, “..So who are these fine young folks you got with you?” he inquired.

OOC: So sorry for the AWOL folks! I aim to be posting on a regular basis again going forward!

As Kyle stepped off the shuttle to take in the planet around him, his mind was immediately transported back to those Halcyon days back in Yorkshire, in his days before joining the Academy, serving on the Challenger and beginning what had already proved to be an interesting career in Starfleet. Leaning into Commander Itri, he whispered. “Wow, quite homely, takes me back.”
