Codem muttered something quietly to himself, tugging at the hem of his uniform. They’d only been out a few days, but each passing minute took them further from the Montezuma and risked them getting caught.

“Would you calm down, Codem. You’re making me twitchy.” Alera, the sole female of the group, and the only other person besides Codem dressed in red, snapped, grabbing the Tril by the shoulders and pushing him into an empty seat. “I know you want to find Pandiri, I do as well, we all want to find it, but you nervously twitching isn’t going to make it work faster.”

“S’Dan, how long have we been away from the Montezuma?” Peter, the sole member of the group dressed in blue, said. “56 hours, 8 minutes and 49.638 seconds.” The Vulcan, S’Dan, said, barely glancing at the flight time. He heard a chirp from the computer, and as he turned to look at the readout, the lights and panels started to flash and flicker wildly.

“Uh, what’s going on?!” Codem asked, looking to the other Trill in the pilot’s seat. “We appear to have hit an ion storm, I’m rerouting us to the quickest way out of it.” Izzin said, fingers flying over the controls, and after almost 20 minutes inside the area of the ion storm, the shuttle’s electrical issues and rocking ceased.

“We’re going to definitely need to stop for repairs, we’re pretty banged up.” Izzin said, simply, as Codem spoke up. “Alright, I guess it’s time we look for bigger fish now. Let’s go over this again, make sure we have our stories straight…”

It was just a very minor blip on the Tactical station. A shuttle, forward and to port slightly. Federation in Origin, with 5 occupants aboard, 2 humans, 2 Trill (both of which appear unjoined, and a singular Vulcan. None of the occupants appeared injured in any way, though the shuttle was heavily damaged.

The Operations Chief was on bridge duty at the time, and the Tactical officer said “Commander, I’ve got something. Putting it on screen.” The main viewer lit up and showed the shuttle, obviously damaged and in need of help. The big Orion scowled and tapped his commbadge. =/\= Captain to the bridge. =/\= was all he said before he looked at the comms officer. “Open a channel, Ensign.” The Bolian nodded and then there was a chirp. =/\= Unknown shuttlecraft, this is the USS Athena. State your name, point of origin, and nature of your emergency. =/\=

=/\=We are the Federation shuttlecraft Psion, assigned to the USS Montezuma. The ship has been attacked and disabled, we’ve left the ship seeking assistance. However, our shuttle has been damaged by an ion storm, and we request assistance.=/\=

Hammor, Ops

R’han glanced up from his scanner. “Bearing 341 mark 12… Federation shuttle craft. Five aboard, 2 humans, 2 Trill and a Vulcan.” He looked back down and then up, “The shuttle has taken heave damage… I don’t know where she’s heading but she isn’t going to make it.”

Despite the call being specifically for the captain, it was customary to him, that the first officer also show up. Orvos arrived quickly stepping out of a turbolift. He took in the situation, allowing the COO to continue as he was.

-Commander Orvos Legen, XO

Liam was assigned to the bridge for a change of scenery. Most of his junior officers knew he rarely left his office, but the conversation with the counselor had encouraged some change in his routine. He monitored the space conditions and shifted the data to the correct channels, ensuring a smooth course.

A frown cracked over his stoic expression when an officer found something. He shortly weighed in on what he knew or could theorize.

“It looks like she got caught in an ion storm.” Liam thought they were lucky that the Athena was in the area. Otherwise, the crew might’ve been floating for an who knew how long.

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

Codem did a silent fist pump since the channel was audio only. They’d found a ship, so that was one part down, but they needed to get to Pandiri, so he turned to Izzin. “Send me all the doctored files from the Montezuma, I suspect we’ll need them.”

Hammor looked at the XO and shrugged slightly. “Commander, recommend we move within tractor beam range. They are obviously in distress.” He then went to the Ops station and tapped the officer on the shoulder, relieving them. Taking a seat, he began pulling the records of the Montezuma and its last known location. “Looking for the Montezuma now, Commander. Seeing if we are within range of assisting.”

Hammor, Ops

Captain Wallace stepped onto the Bridge from the turbolift and stepped over to her chair, glancing over at Hammor with a raised eyebrow before sitting down. “Status update, chief?” She nodded at Orvos and Liam as well, but said nothing to them.

Wallace, CO

Liam nodded back, acknowledging the CO entering the bridge. He stood on the ready for instruction as he let Hammor fill her in on the situation.

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

Hammor didn’t look away from the search for the Montezuma, but said “Federation shuttlecraft Psion, Captain. Bearing 341 mark 12. 5 occupants aboard, 2 humans, 2 Trill, and a Vulcan. None of the occupants appeared injured in any way, though the shuttle has sustained heavy damage commensurate with an ion storm. Recommended to the XO that we come within tractor beam range and bring the shuttle in. Crew communicated they are form the USS Montezuma. They said the ship had been attacked and they escaped to look for help.”

Hammor, Ops

The Athena was still about 8 hours away even at maximum speed, but they were still the closest ship able to assist. The last known location is listed as the Lion’s Mane Nebula.
