The craft got settled into position. All of the windows and running lights remained dark. Sllyrasa looked at the away team briefly before he looked back at the monitor. “Begin the communication.”The protocol transferred from Marsh’s communicator was played, the lights directed at the specified location. There was no response.

Marsh shook his head. “Disappointing but not surprising,” He gestured at the main windows in the lounge, “That is the back up shelter. There almost has to be someone in there. Try the code in there, what then wait for a response.” Marsh turned to the XO, this was the highest chance of getting a response. Failure here would be bad.

Catching the CSO’s glance, Avik understood that their options were dwindling. The mounting evidence leaned into Marsh’s theories that the crew was incapacitated too. If this didn’t receive a response, they had to assume the worst and send someone up there. She worried most about what they might find.

Sienna bit her lip as she watched, trying to be patient and calm. Marsh was an exceptionally brilliant officer. She knew he would do his best and it seemed like Sllyrasa and his people were doing their best as well. Now they had but to hope that the Captain and everyone else on board was alive and able to handle communications with the craft.
Nox, CNS
Cassidy moved closer to look over the data, not because Steven couldn’t handle it, but more because she wanted to feel more useful than as an anxious hoverer.
Abrams, COS
Before any further instructions could be given, one of the technicians called out. “There’s a change to the ship. Something on the hull is opening.” They hit a couple of console commands that changed the main view to a different camera. On the camera was shown the shuttlebay doors slowly opening with a shuttle facing the doors and using the tractor beam.
“Interesting.” Sllyrasa commented as he watched the doors finish opening. The interesting thing from this new perspective was that a field shimmered over the now open bay doors. This couldn’t be seen on the other parts of the ship.
GM Dread
At the mention of the hull opening, Avik’s attention snapped to their CSO. A brief sense of relief washed over her and her stoic expression returned. At this point, she was glad there was evidence for hope. It was unlikely anyone other than the crew knew how to open the shuttle bay.
–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr
OOC: Okay going to snip a bit and bump this thread. I think we’re waiting for Marsh to respond before the GM can forward the Sim.
-Janice B.
OOC: Sorry for being slow RL is kicking the F out of me.
Marsh looked at it for a moment, “Didn’t you say that the ship had zero power generation?” He paused.
“During a simulated warp drive failure, I used the shuttles to power a star-ship. Its more like a D cell battery trying to power a car, but it was better than nothing. People always forget the shuttles have independent power from the ship. Its like have a dozen little backup generators as well as life pods.”
“Can you bring the pod around and open hailing frequencies, if they have tractor power they likely have comms back. If not we can try the light comms system.”
Marsh.
