Mirri looked at her surroundings and listened to Kolar’s statements and responded =^=Sir, it may be that their pilot was not confident in his skills....or there is another reason they are here.=^= She said as she looked at the ship (OOC: GM does it look like the Sierra would have a fighter wing on it?) =^=Something isn’t right.” She said concuring with the CMO.

Helm

OOC: The Sierra was a transport ship. It has defensive capabilities but not fighter wing.

IC:

=^=Whose fighters Sir?=^= That information was sparse.

Ch’zaolrirh furled his brow. Where could a pair of rogue fighters have originated? Trusting that the Olinski would get to the bottom of it, he tried to focus on his primary objective, the safety of the away team. =^= Requesting permission to join whomever goes aboard. At least one of us should probably remain outside until we know what is going on with this crew. =^=

Doolittle was irritated a little inside. He had been the one to say that first. Well at least the COS knew he had. Of course he should be the one who detected it based on his superior skill set with human nature but still. This was more a common animal sense. To sense danger when things were outside the norm.

Doolittle

The second officer asked, “Would you come with me? Let’s see the CO.”

GM

COS Ch’zaolrirh

“Well since there seems to be no need medical I can stay outside.” Doolittle said.

If these people could not see something wrong he was not willing to walk into a trap. If there was one. Doolittle was aware he might be a tad nervous on his first CMO away mission.

Doolittle

On the CoS’ private channel, Michael responded. =/\=We have to play along somehow.=/\=

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

“Better inside in than outside.” =^=Sierra we are in proximity of your ship, please prep for our arrival off your port side.=^= He nodded to the side of the ship. “Give them a knock.”

Kolar

OOC: Im confused. Whose fighters? Ours or some others? I certainly cannot post yet if I want to stay in or out until I know .

Doolittle

OOC: Those should be our fights. Apex & Sehlat went in for a closer look as the storm was blowing out. They have just made contact with the Sierra, as well. –Terry

IC: Captain Whitney was a 1.8 metre man with a crop of short white hair. He looked like he was nearing his retirement. However, the way he got up and moved showed that he was more alert and active than his appearance implied.

“Welcome,” he said in a soft but authoritative voice. He held out his hand in greeting. “Thank you, gentlemen, we would have gotten airborne, eventually, but we need to make sure that our passengers reach Starbase for their connecting journeys. Any help you give would expedite that.”

GM

“I think you might be a little late for your connecting transports, but in terms of getting off the ground… I’m sure we can help,” Kolar commented then paused and looked at the chief engineer… “Mr. Gould?”

“We can probably clear the engines. It’s not complicated, just annoying.”

Mirri was just a pilot on this mission, she left the talking to the others. She was on edge, something didn’t seem right and they might need to act quickly should something go down. Mirri looked completely relaxed, yet internally she was ready to act if anything happened.

Helm

=^=Mr. Kolar, they are ours. They are tracking the storms as they move off.=^= Toro said as she watched the fighters.

CIO

OOC: I was wondering when someone would contact the Olinski and let Harn know that they made it to the surface “down and safe.” Jason and Ric are in the CIC spitballing plans on how to rescue the shuttle if it can’t take off again.

Jason Harn, aCO

=^=Roger that, We are aboard the Sierra now, it seems all it as well as it could be.=^=

Kolar CSO

Ch’zaolrirh stood quietly by the CSO for the time being. He was curious about the state of the passengers, but it was Kolar’s show. Glancing around at their surroundings, the Andorian casually looked for any obvious signs of a struggle (signs of weapon discharge, newly formed stains, etc.).

COS Ch’zaolrirh

Michael kept an eye out for similar signs of ship injury. “Why were you so low you started picking up dust to begin with?”

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

Finally someone was asking an interrogative question thought Doolittle.

Doolittle

The captain looked grave, “We had to land because our systems showed a anomaly in the warp core. There was also a possibility that we might lose power and then life support. As there was a habitable planet just minutes from our location, I came out of warp and instructed a course for this planet. We might be able to make repairs and be airborne in a short time. I weighed the risk of making the repairs in space with making repairs on the planet. There would be a slight better chance of survival of my passengers if we landed. Of course the ship could have malfunctioned on the way down, but I reckon the possibility of survival was still higher if I landed.”

Then the CO brought up a picture on his display. “See that?” It was a picture of the displaced fuel tube that the CE had already seen. “If I had continued in warp, the warp core would have exploded before I reached starbase.” Then he looked a little downcast, “what I didn’t foresee was the sand storm. I know the risks I took and I am willing to take responsibilities for my decisions. Just remember, I did what I thought was best. I did not make the decision lightly.”

GM

The COS was skeptical. He wasn’t an engineer, but from his point of view, there would have been less variables attempting to make the repair in orbit.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

Michael didn’t appreciate being pandered to by an unqualified officer. Michael had been an engineer for long enough to know what a displaced fuel induction tube looked like and what the ramifications of going to warp with one would be. “You probably could’ve reset the position of the fuel tube in space. Geosynchronous orbit would’ve been enough stability. We need to set that into correct position, vent the exhaust ports, I’m concerned about backfire with the main impulse engines.” Michael considered everything the Captain was showing him. By any consideration, the bridge had trashed this ship.
