“You must mean Stellar Cartography? Are you hungry, Stephanie? I’ve got some ration here. It’s not the most flavorful, but it should at least fill your belly.”
Ric reached over to the storage compartment in the cockpit and pulled out some freeze dried food. Poor kid, he decided, probably hasn’t had a decent meal since their crew were on the Dragoon.
“Jerky!” whispered Stephanie. “I remember this on a camping trip. We had stew and stuff on the ship. Here, we have roast meats. Usually, the grown ups will come back with some animal and after they cleaned it, put it over a large fire. At first it was okay I guess, but we would be eating the roast for the whole week!” she concluded with a shudder.

As the Olinski became larger in his viewscreen, Ric opened his comm to the CIC. =^=CIC, this is the CAG. I want all squads ready to fly in ten minutes Form up on Apex and Papa Bear. I want in atmosphere, high-altitude patrols orbiting the planet. Eyes in the sky broadcasting back to mother as to what’s going on on the surface. Any more evidence of microwave emitters, I want them taken out. Apex, Papa Bear, stop and see mother long enough to re-fuel and get re-armed. You two will then coordinate the patrols. Ill be back with you ASAP, but first I want to introduce my new friend here to the Skipper. Copt?=^=
CIC replied, =^=Message relayed to all squads, Ricochet. They will be flight ready in 10.=^=
=^=Da, Ricochet, will be seeink you on dark side. Copy, =^= came the response from Papa Bear.
Ricochet (CAG)
On the flight deck: Banner kept waiting for his fighter to be ready to go. He looked over at the NE enlisted plane Captain. “Can I get now, I think I am needed?” Finally, the NE plane Captain looked over at Banner and replied, “Sir, with all due respect, if I don’t complete these repairs, the minute this ship takes off you will be back with an emergency. Please go away and let me do my work.”
“Okay, okay, maybe I can get some thing to eat? Keep me updated please.”
Banner
Mirri responded quickly =^=Aye Captain. On my way back.=^= She said as she spun the runabout around and headed back to the Olinski.Helm
OOC: The girl getting to the Olinski will be on a new thread.
GM
Apex and the rest of Green Squad came in for a quick refuel and reload before they could head back out.

Before Banner could get to the door of the hangar bay, a flight crew mechanic ran up to him. “Lt. Banner!! Your bird is ready to fly, sir. CIC says to mount up and be prepared to depart with Red Squad!”
Joe Fixit (mechanic)
With a smile on his face, Banner said, “I guess the pot roast will wait!” He then headed over to gear up and prepare to go out!
BannerWhen Ric landed, Xandra was in the hanger. She helped the little girl down and smiled. “Ready to fly, Sir… cleared by medical. Choice is yours… shuttle with you to the surface to help out, or you want me in a fighter?” Whichever he chose, she wanted him to know she was truly ready, either way.
Xandra
“Little Sehlat”Ric was relieved to see Xandra ANd hear she was cleared to get back into the sky. He wanted desperately reach out to hold her and confirm for himself that she was fine. This was not the time, so instead just gave her a smile and a nod.
“Was the doc able to confirm what happened to you? My guess is that it had something to do with te microwaves, but that shouldn’t be a problem anymore. Papa Bear and Apex destroyed all the emitters in the area. The rest of the squads are going to keep their eyes open as to what’s going on down there. my orders are to take out any other emitters they come across.”
The CAG watched Michaels and Dr. Clint escort the child out of the hangar bay. He gave her one more wave as the doors closed.
“Wait a minute–who wants me on a shuttle to the surface? And what for?” Ric queried. His eyes swept the hangar bay and he spied one of the shuttles being prepped.
As most of the the other fighters had left the bay after refueling and arming, Ric spotted the new boot climbing into the cockpit of his bird. “BANNER,” he called out, “Report to Apex as Red 5. He’s co-ordinating the patrols until I can get back out there.”
Ricochet (CAG)
After all the checks were done, Lt. Banner was finally ready to be afapart of this mission. With everything in the flighter ready he asked,
“USS Brian A. Olinski, this is Lt. Banner, red squad, awaiting launch approval.”
Lt. Banner (Red Squad)
=/\=Banner, this is control. You are good to go.=/\=
Out in space, Red Squad and Green Squad were forming up. =/\=Red 5, form up with the rest of us. Papa Bear take lead on Green Squad, I’ll take Red. Red Squad fly first patrol, Green Squad follow. Copy?=/\=
