“Can we beam through it into the facility?” she asked looking closely at the map her antenna twisting to show that she was clearly attempting to strategize a plan of action again the itch of wanting to lead the team herself took hold she might just use this as a chance to test whether or not her XO was going to be a stickler about regulations concerning captains going on Away missions “XO” she whispered leaning in his direction “What would you say if I was to want to lead this away mission?” she asked just so the two of them could hear

Tralla

“You know I cant let ya do that. we have to assume there is something dangerous down there and the ship needs it CO.” JT responded. He knew the CO liked action, but he’ll be damned if he was going to let his captain get herself killed in breach of regulation. besides he wasn’t about to get busted down in rank again.

It would be possible to beam through, though not directly to the subterranean heat signature, they would be able to get to the base, which was near enough.

“It looks like transporters should get us close. At least to the base proper. From there we’d have to continue on foot. If you would like I can send Lieutenant Adama on a reconnaissance flight with a wingman before we beam down,” she offered. It would be a good opportunity break the fighters out of mothballs and let them chew up some atmo. And they could have one on hand for Close Air Support. The Memorial could punch through atmosphere with her weapons easily enough, hit with surgical precision., but sometimes, having a visible presence did a lot to break hostile morale. And boost friendly morale.

Lt Beckett, CoS

she turned “Good idea Beckett make it so let’s get our new fighters their first workout,” she said smiling at her security chief

Tralla

“Alright. Will see to it. Will launch shortly,” she said.

=^=Beckett to Adama and fighter group, report to squad room immediately.=^= With that, she turned to Tralla. “Captain, with your permission I have a sortie briefing to give and then I’ll be back at post.” Making a smart turn she headed for the lifts and disappeared from the bridge, for the moment, while another from security took over the tactical station.

Lt Beckett, CoS

((OOC Note: Steve or Miriam, I need a volunteer. ))

OOC: I volunteer as tribute!
IC:
=^= Understood Lieutenant. On my way. =^=

Ens Harmon - Sec

Danora arrived as they were finishing their exchange. Coming out of warp was her key to come to the bridge. She’d learned engineering responded faster when she H
Tralla waited patiently for the recon flight to begin so that they could start coming up with a plan

Tralla

BJ watched over the external scans. He wasn’t sure what he could do while waiting to see how they would proceed.

Janzen

The bridge doors hissed open as Lieutenant Beckett made her way back to Tactical. “They should be launching any moment,” she reported.

Her board showed two ships launching from the bay. Cutlass-class maybe thirty seconds later. “Fighter launches successful.” Ahead two craft formed up and turned toward the iceball below.

=^=Recon Two to Memorial. We’re starting our run. Will report back when we’re out of shadow.=^= Lieutenant Ferren’s voice broke in. And then their impulse engines gave just a tiny bit of power, beginning their approach to the planet.

Lt Beckett, COS

pressing some controls on her chair she brought a tactical overlay of the system up that showed the position of the recon flight as well as anything else the sensors were picking up she gave them a bit to get into their run before barking out =^= Bridge to Recon Flight report hows it looking so far?”=^=

Tralla

While the Captain awaited the response from the recon flight JT leaned back in “You let me fly and Ill let ya go down there” he joked knowing full well he wasn’t going anywhere near a cockpit anytime soon, and the CO sure as hell wasn’t going down there.

XO

On the view screen the two tails of plasma and ionized atmosphere were fading out before Leutenant Farren’s voice cut back in. =^=Dunno, -ap. [static] just [static]t here,=^= Gypsy reported back. Her voice was torn and distorted through the interference. But they were slowing down, dumping energy. Shifting nose down Farren adjusted the shields. The base was ahead and they were closing fast. =^=Okay, let’s stay frosty. Let’s come in east and flyover heading west.=^=

As the last of the ionization cleared Farren cleared her throat. =^=De-orbit complete. We’re in the Ay-Oh (A.O.) now. Feeding telemetry back to you…now.=^= As she spoke sensor data from her fighter on a carrier channel punched through the weather and let the Memorial see everything their fighters saw.

=^=Watch your altimeter. When we get to the deck we may have to switch to Vee Eff Arr (VFR).=^= Visual Flight Rules. =^=We’ll try to image with thermal and infrared though and cut through this crap though.=^= Their communications were open, and feeding back to the bridge where the Memorial could monitor the situation from on haigh.

Lt Farren, Adama - Recon 2

she looked to her first officer “Oh Come on Its a tropical paradise down there for me!” she moaned it really was not fair “Besides what about captains prerogative!” she argued knowing it was not going to change anything she would just have to wait till after the mission Still she listened in to the flight and what they found

Tralla

Over the open line Tak cut in, a little static from the atmospheric ionization present, but easily read. =^=I’m not picking up any life signs below. Wasn’t the base supposed to be occupied?=^=

Quietly Lieutenant Farren answered. =^=Starfleet pulled out some seventy years ago. But now it seems something’s been turned on, and there’s a distress call going out.=^= A sigh from Lieutenant Faren came over the comm. =^=Okay, Tails, keep on my wing. We’re gonna orbit for a bit, low and slow.=^= The telemetry from down on the planet’s surface would show both fighters begin arcing north and starting to circle clockwise around the compound. In another window they could see the thermal imaging of the base and the residual heat, but no signs of foot traffic or vehicles, or anything else warm in the area. Just a dull, warm glow beneath the snow.

=^=Recon to Memorial, we’re on station at Angels one.=^= In pilot speak, they were a thousand feet off the ground. =^=Looks quiet from the outside. No contacts. As far as I can tell you’re good to touch down for a closer look. The storm is a little rough, but either coming straight down on it, or punching under the edge or through the eye should be okay. No further recommendations. If you’ve got anything you’d like us to do or check out…=^=

Lt Farren, Adama “Gypsy” - Recon 2

=^=”Good work so far Recon Keep an Eye out”=^= Tralla replied then with a sigh turned to her XO “Looks like you’re up, assemble your team Though seriously we figure out whats going on down there I will beam down for a bit because that is a paradise for me and by the Ancestors i am getting off this ship for a bit!” she said giving him a wry smile

Tralla

When the CO gave JT the clearance to go to the surface, Danora got bold and spoke up. “Permission to join the Away Team, Captain. If those are power readings in the red, perhaps I can figure out why they are on. And if we can interface safely, I can maybe get the AI talking to the system down there and see what’s going on.” She wasn’t sure the interface from that long ago would be viable for the AI, but it was worth a chance. And she wasn’t lieing. She really could find out things easier if she was down there.

Danora
CE/AI Spec

JT held back a smile when the CE volunteered. Anticipating the CO’s approval JT nodded “You’re with me LT.” Turning towards the COS ans CSO he added ” Beckett, Jansen, you too.”

Tapping his Combadge he opened a channel =/\= Dr. Grey, Please report to Transporter room one for away team duty. =/\=

Addressing the CO before departing ” We will establish contact once we are on the surface. Wish us luck” he said as he made his way for the turbo lift and then the transporter room.

XO

Maria reached up and tapped her combadge. =^=Beckett to Breakag, report to tactical on the bridge.=^= On her way to the transporter room she sent out another quick message. =^=Beckett to Harmon. Report to Transporter Room One. Bring rifles, WTR’s, and cold weather gear for you and I.=^=

Lt Beckett, COS

=^= Understood el tee. Be there in 5. =^=

Ens Harmon - Sec

BJ stood up. =^=Ens. Tak report for bridge duty ASAP.=^= He walked to the turbolift and entered to make his way to the transporter room.
