Michael moved down the ship, scanning it for any faults or anything out of place.

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

There did not seem to have been anything else wrong with the ship.

The COS turned towards Kolar. “It looks like the Chief can handle the repairs. Perhaps I can head down to sickbay with the Doctor and see what other assistance we can offer the passengers?” In his head, the COS really just wanted to speak with someone who felt more authentic than the Sierra’s Captain.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

GM

Mirri spoke to Kolar “Where do you want me Commander?” She asked quietly still taking in the surroundings and looking for anything out of the ordinary. The landing on the planet when repairs could have been done in space. She inwardly shook her head and listened to the conversations.

Helm

“There are people of importance on this ship and I’m still not sold on the explanation we were given. Check the course log, stops, anything else you might think to access… failing finding anything… you can always talk to people.”

Kolar

Ch’zaolrirh nodded. Looking down the corridor, he could still see Doolittle. He decided to follow.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

Mirri nodded and stepped over to one of the computer panels and began accessing the ship’s flight log, where they had stopped, when and how long they were there. She also cross referenced the people on board as well as the cargo that was aboard to see if that may have had a hand in the Sierra having to make an emergency landing. (OOC: Is there anything significant in the flight logs?)

Helm

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary to Mirri. The cargo manifests and the passenger list did not show anything out of the ordinary.

GM

=^=Balfor to Olinski, Everything seems to be moving along Commander. The Captain reported he landed to effect repairs and that the storm clogged his intakes and made the procedure more difficult. The landing team is assisting where ever possible and there a few caualties… the doctor is reviewing them.=^=

Kolar

=^=Acknowledged Balfor.=^= Jason’s disembodied voice replied. =^=Will it be necessary to evacuate any of them?=^=

Jason Harn, aCO

=^=I as of yet haven’t gotten any updates from Dr. Doolittle. No news in this case means good news.=^=

=^=Sir, something doesn’t seem right.=^= Toro’s voice broke in. =^=I’m not an engineer, but it doesn’t seem like they should have had to land. I’m still working on finding more information on the passengers and the crew through my channels.=^=

=^=Hold, Kolar. standby,=^= Jason instructed. =^=Toro, what do you mean? Are you saying that the Olinski’s sensors can’t find anything wrong with the Sierra?=^=

Jason Harn, aCO, hoping the dialogue that happens next doesn’t invalidate the “after about twenty minutes” posts below.

After about twenty minutes, the engineers outside reported in, =/\=We have cleared the bulk of the sand. I believe that we are clear to start engines and get out of here.=/\=

The CO looked puzzled, =/\=I thought the time was closer to 2 hours the last time you reported.=/\=

=/\=With the Olinski crew helping out, we were able to clear most of the sand.=/\=

=/\=Most?=/\= asked the CO with eyebrows raised.

=/\=Rather than clearing every grain, I have run a simulation and it would save us time if we lifted off and then the vibration of the engines would then shake the sand out of the smaller crevices.=/\=

=/\=What are the possible dangers to this plan?=/\= asked the CO.

=/\=Well, there is a 4% chance that some of the silicon might change to glass adhering to the bulkhead instead of coming out of the exhaust.=/\=

=/\=Have you consulted Lt. Gould?=/\=

=/\=Uh …=/\=

=/\=Let me know what he thinks,=/\= responded the CO with a little irritation.

Captain Whitney turned to the Balfour with a questioning look, “What do you think?”

GM

Balfor had stood silently until spoken to, a captain… even a merchant one was still a captain. “An engine shouldn’t have a problem with some light silica or glass deposits, not to mention the engines exteriors run so hot that the glass would liquefy and gravity should clear it .. if we go vertical. But you are right, we have a spare Chief of Engineering about.”

=^=Mr. Gould, your assessment?=^=

Balfor Kolar

Mirri looked over at Balfor and shook her head “There’s nothing out of the ordinary.” She said once he finished talking.

Helm

Michael came back to the bridge after talking with the engineers. “Captain. Commander. Lieutenant. So, the engines should work fine. I’m told you have concerns about remaining sand. Understandable. If you take off, and then punch it to maximum safe atmospheric flight speed, the sand shouldn’t have time to form glass. On the off chance it does, which I would call extremely unlikely, there’s not enough to form a block.”

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

=/\=Very well, =/\= said Whitney. =/\=We’ll get ready to move.=/\= Turning to the Olinski’s crew, he asked, “Would you be staying with us? Or would you like to return to your shuttle?”

GM

Before Kolar respond, yet another transmission came over his comm-badge. It was the COS.

=^= Mr. Kolar, some of the passengers are a little jittery. I’m recommending that we allow them to beam aboard the Olinski until repairs are done. There is a hanger bay cleared and ready for them if they’d like to stretch their legs. Also, I believe their are a few former Captains aboard. I’m sure they wouldn’t turn down a tour of the flagship. =^=
