Twenty minutes later Jason returned to the bridge.

Toro looked at Harn “While, to the best of my knowledge, the sand and silica that would have turned to glass, should not have really necessitated the need to land on the planet. And the storm was on the surface of the planet so the sand would have only been able to get into the engines had they been close to the surface and not in space. Just speculation on my part, but some of the story does not add up.” She said

=^=Commander we are attempting to re-attain orbit, there may be some medical transfers. Will advise.=^=

Kolar

=^=Understood Balfor, are quarantine procedures necessary?=^= Jason replied.

Jason Harn, aCO attempting to get the chronology between threads straight.

From the scans that the doctor had sent, there was no need of quarantine.

The Counselor continued to listen to the conversations going on around him. “Do we know how many are going to be beamed aboard, Commander?” Trevor asked as he sat on the edge of his seat.

Toro went back to her station and began looking up things again “Commander, something just doesn’t seem right.” She said “I don’t know how much damage the silica and sand would have actually caused.” She said as she began doing some research.

CIO

“Curiouser and curiouser.”” Jason replied with mock casualness. “Add that to the quarantine that Doolittle says is unnecessary and it makes you wonder whether the ship even needed to land in the first place.”

Jason Harn, aCO

Based on her research, the CO of the Sierra was not entirely in error to have landed. Based on the specs of the Sierra, the part in question could only be repaired from outside the ship whilst engines were online. The engines would have to be shut down to access that part of the ship from the inside. The CO had made a good call, although a space walk could also have resolved the problem. Landing the ship on the planet surface would have lowered the risk involving a space walk. Of course the CO could have been more vigilant in observing the climate patterns of the planet before choosing where to land.

As to the silica and the sand, they would cause a decrease in the efficiency of the engine. The particles could clog the plasma conduits, although the plasma would eventually (about five to ten minutes) vaporise the particles in question. However, as long as the conduits were clogged, more plasma would need to be channelled through the particular conduits to sustain constant power to the nacelles as well as the ship. This would, of course lower efficiency by a minimum of 4 percentage points.
