SNIP

“Sir, I’m having a hard time getting an intensive scan,” Ensign Jones frowned. “The substance the spacecraft is suspended in is composed of a motley concoction of various salts and metal particulates floating in a mixture of liquid propane. Its separated from the atmosphere by an extremely dense layer of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, which is why this mess hasn’t caught fire yet. Now that we’re getting closer I think I can get us a visual. If you want to, I can put an image up on the main viewscreen, but you really won’t be able to see much aside of a silhouette. So far the ship appears quite intact, but I can’t really make out any details. It should be possible to beam over there but I can’t recommend it.”

NE Patricia Jones, Sciences

“How posible is posible. IF thats the only way to get down there and this ship seems key to this planets inhabitants being just past the Stone Age yet possessing advanced weapons tech then we will probably need to go there. Give me a percentage.” He explained and then ordered.

Parker (Thanking his XO for stepping up)

NE Jones looked at her display, tapped a few buttons and said, “The probability of success for the transport is 89%. The probability that the away team would be transported on the ground is, however, 45%.”

GM

The Captain had a decision to make. He could transport some Away Team from where they were to the ship or he could go himself. There was not many people left to send over with command experience. If this was an advanced race would they see this as an attack or was this ship long abandoned.

=/= Parker to Harn. Whats the status on the Dragoon. Can you and Gould leave it and beam into that ship we have detected? Our info says its a relatively safe beam over but were not sure whats there.=/=

Parker

=^= Harn to Parker, we are currently in the process of beaming up the Dragoon’s crew. Mister Gould has brought the senior officers we’ve rescued so far to the bridge. I was about to debrief them. As for whether or not Gould and I can beam down, just let me check. Won’t be a moment, Captain.=^= his first officer replied.

Jason Harn, XO pausing to see if the command staff of the Dragoon has been rescued.

Helm

“You’ll want to be clear and to the point, Lieutenant.” The Counselor said as he stepped off the lift with Xandra and Doctor Doolittle. He knew the Doc was against this move, but it would at least give the Pilot an eased mind knowing she did everything she could to go back down. Trevor just hoped she didn’t try to hijack a shuttle to return, that would cause bigger issues down the road.

CNS

=^=Harn to Olinski. Captain the CO and XO of the Dragoon are currently unavailable. Lieutenant Turcio has volunteered to beam down in my place. As much as I want to go, I should probably remain here and secure the Dragoon.=^=

Jason Harn, XO, who was really looking forward to beaming down into the mysterious spaceship

=^=Make it so=^= he replied.

=^=Aye-Aye sir. Dragoon out.=^= Jason acknowledged, leaving Sidney to his thoughts.

Jason Harn, XO

He then saw from the corner of his eye the CNS and Xandra entering the bridge with another man he vaguely recognized as on the medical staff.
Parker CO

Xandra stepped in behind the CNS, the other of her ‘escorts’ coming in behind her. She stepped to the side and glanced around making a note of those on the bridge. It was habit, and despite not being on flight status or even of being on support crew assigned to the bridge, it was a habit she never let go of. She fell absently into parade rest just inside and to the left of the lift doors, her hands clasped behind her as she watched everything going on.

Xandra
Pilot (grounded)

“Captain.” The Counselor said as he approached the man. “Lieutenant Primage would like to make a case with you.” Trevor motioned for the Pilot to approach them, then took a step back to where DooLittle was standing. The Counselor hoped that this would be the end of Xandra’s theory, especially given that the CO wouldn’t risk any lives for a whim.

CNS

Mirri adjusted their orbit slightly and waited for additional orders.

Helm

“The only case I want to hear is why my second best pilot is not in a bird and giving assistance to a squad under fire.” The Captain said looking straight ahead. “Suit up and get in the action Lt.”

The Captain was already a little aware of what was happening but he also knew that Primage was a pilot and the only thing a pilot needed to get better was to fly. We could fix the rest later.

Parker CO

Xandra wanted to hear that… She NEEDED to hear that. But something made her pause. Without even glancing at the councilor, caves took a step forward. “Sir, I can’t do that.”

Her heart was pounding so hard she actually parted her lips to breath thru her mouth because she thought she’d explode. Never in her career had she ever defied her Commanding Officer. “I’ve been grounded by the CAG till we see why my mind went… Why I got confused on the surface earlier.” She took another step forward. “I feel fine now but I can’t guarantee that it won’t occur again if I’m near the planet. I came to ask permission to have an escort accompany me while I find out if my lapse was an isolated incident, or the planet still affecting me after my blackout with the microwave emitters earlier.”

She quickly as for verification. “It could help in treating those with long term exposure once they are rescued, in case there’s a correlation.” Admitting a weakness in medical was one thing. Yet here she was… On the bridge… Telling her Captain ‘No’ and admitting she’d screwed up a while ago. Her hands clenched and unclenched at her sides with hey obvious nervousness at the situation. Something else no one was used to seeing from the CAGs right hand and squadron leader.

Xandra
Pilot (grounded)

“Lt.” He said as he pivoted his head toward her slowly. “You know what your capable of and not.I can order you to the Sickbay where you can undergo a lot more examination or you can take an action. Be that in a fighter or in a shuttle etc..I don’t pay you to tell me what you cannot do. I pay you to tell me what you can do.”

Parker CO

The Captain then looked forward again.

“Update on the Dragoon away team. Are they on the unknown ship?” He asked Science.

Parker CO

Mirri nodded “Yes sir. Toro and Gould are on the derlict ship.” She said “At least that’s what I understand from the comms chatter.” She said

Helm

The Counselor silently cursed in his head. One look at Doolittle and Trevor knew things were going to get any better. “I would need to spend more time with you in order to declare you unfit for duty, Lieutenant.” The CNS said turning to the Pilot.

“Doolittle, any thoughts?” He asked.

CNS

“I suppose a non combat role might work but my official position is that she stay on the ship until I have more time to work with her.” He said in his English accent.

Doolittle was no fool. He was not going to anger or countermand a senior SF captain but nor was he going to say anything that would smear his own professional reputation.

The Captain for his part was back to concentrating on the task at hand. He had left it in Primage’s hands and he was not about to make the decision, and thus her facing a tough decision, for her.

Parker CO/Doolittle

“Lieutenant?” The Counselor said returning to face the Pilot. “You’ve heard from both the Captain, and Doolittle.” Trevor stated. “What’s your decision?” Neither he nor Doolittle had enough information on the Pilot to ground her, other than the CAG’s order to stay on the ship. Now that the Captain overrode that order, it was up to Primage to decide what to do next.

CNS

=^=Olinski, can you scan the area around the following coordinates?”=^= He uploaded the information. =^=If safe, we could use a site to site transport to that location.=^=
