“Is everyone alright?” she called out, as she reached for her medkit. Her brain immediately tracked towards making sure that everyone was safe and sound in the immediate vicinity, but she also knew that there was a strong possibility of other injured planet-side. The trip suddenly just got a lot more interesting than she had planned.

Liz made her way towards Captain Glen and Kord. “Are you guys alright?”

Captain Glen didn’t feel any obvious injuries but he hadn’t had time to do a full body check yet. “Just minor scratches, I think, and a loss of dignity! There may be secondary devices, if it was a bomb or an attack. There could be secondary aftershocks or explosions if it was something natural. Look for casualties but be careful. It is those secondary events that often kill most people. Don’t go too far away until I find out from the Merrimack what just happened.”

Kord was standing among Glen, the away team, and the diplomats. His face showed intense concentration. Energy crackled along a dome of bio-electric force. Kord had reflexively generated a shield with a ten meter radius.

It was possible that bio-electric dome had saved them from further falling masonry.

Coughing and clearing her throat, the First got to her feet, helping other nearby Alstair people do likewise and get out of any danger radius. By this point overhead emergency hover vehicles were arriving, spraying a orange foam over the fires from three of them, while another three landed and disgorged about 20 Alstair dressed in medical and firefighting garb. Another landed and began to shepard the walking or running in organized manners away like the First was doing. Things were a mess but from their higher perch on a building when things had happened they had gotten off lucky from any outright injuries. Equally viewable was the cause of the original explosion a basketball or so sized asteroid fragment had slammed into the surface causing all this.

As this was observed the First’s voice came back, =/\= I could use help here! Someone is trapped under this sheet of metal! =/\= She said trying in vein alone to lift the metal sheeting.

Glen made his way to help. On the way his communicator chirped. It was Ensign Kahuna, =/\= A small basketball sized asteroid entered the planet’s atmosphere and made it to the surface as a still sizable amount. From there it impacted near the landing party causing the problems indicated by impact, shockwave, and secondary explosions. =/\= Glen pondered on the explanation. =/\= Received =/\= was his only reply. He did some quick maths on the probability of such an event. Clearly, the odds were astronomical!

Glen, CO

Bump?
