Sigmundsson’s confident tones cut through her scattered thoughts like a knife through molded butter. The mission. That had to be her only focus right now. Discovering the trials and tribulations of Captain Ravenfall could wait.

“I can go.” Her voice came as if from a million light years away, the sound of it unexpected and unfamiliar, even to her own ears. As if something else was wielding her as a vessel for communication, an empty shell gifted purpose as a conduit for the void.
“Lieutenant Stone, Sir, I can take up the engineering position on the away team. I am currently the most expendable member of the crew and I am also capable of piloting the shuttle. If that is agreeable to you, Sir?”

Kara Nakuto

“No!” Mike said almost too firmly. “I do not see you as expandable. You’re not a probe that we can just throw away at the first anomaly that crosses our path. I have however no objections on putting you on the away team. I know you’ll take every precaution possible.”
Probably more so then I would, he wanted to add but didn’t say it. He was reckless at times, but it got the job done. Most of the time.

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

After a few moments, Nevin returned to the bridge, following the CO. He looked to the view screen to ascertain if the ship was underway or not. He hadn’t felt any movement, but it could be that Sigmundsson and the helmsman had heeded his advice to take her steady.

He did not verbally ask for an update - Doing so without giving Ravenfall the chance to ask for one would completely undermine her.

He strode confidently to his seat at the Caa1ptain’s right and checked his console.

-Akorem

Darz responded to the Ensign’s call =^=Acknowledged. Darz en route.=^=

A few moments later, Kalika arrived on the bridge. Waiting to be sure she wasn’t intruding, she glanced at the viewer then at those assembled. “How are we doing?” She moved towards the security console behind the Captain’s chair and tapped out a quick query about ship status, security locations and weapons readiness. Seeing everything ready to go, she looked up to pay attention to what was happening.

Lt Kalika Darz
CoS

Viktoryia as she exited her ready room quickly looked around the bridge at each of her officers then let her gaze fall on the officer In the command chair. ” what’s our status”

Captain Ravenfall

Peter, now standing in front of his own chair, started the brief “We’ve stopped in standard orbit around the Ambassador class ship which appears to be the latest victim of the Nebula, we conducted several scans but we feel that sending an away team to investigate it may be the best course of action at this point.” Peter put his hands behind his back. He looked back at the Security chief and gave her a nod “My recommendation is a Six or seven-man team led by Commander Akorem Consisting of Two or three Security Officers, an Engineer and a member of the Science Division. Commander Akorem pointed out previously that the Ships computer core may provide us with answers. Captain Nakuto has already volunteered to serve as Engineer and pilot” He didn’t mention why he felt they’d much rather take a shuttle than the more often than not faulty transporter systems “I also volunteer of course” He smiled politely. “Shuttle one, Naglfar, is being prepped for take-off as we speak” He spoke as slowly as he could to counteract is anxiousness to leave the ship and get over there.

CIO

“OK, let’s go,” Nevin replied, “We need make some headway, so that we can get out of this hell hole.”

-Akorem

Ooc: pasted my reply in

“Commander” she said looking to her chief intelligence officer “I would like you to stay on the ship.” What she didn’t say was why which she couldn’t hardly explain to her self much less others. She felt safe in his presence but she couldn’t pin point why.

Peter simply nodded in agreement, tempering his disapointment. He didn’t really have an interest in going on the Team yet he felt some desire too. Fairly Paradoxical.

“Ensign Strenval I want you to join Commander Nevin, Captain Nakuto, Lieutenant Darz, Ensign Luna, and Ensign T’Shura on the away team.” She then turned to her first officer. “I want you to keep a comm channel open. I wanna know what’s going on over there at all times.”

Captain Ravenfall

Before sitting down he quietly eyed both Commander Akorem and Strenval with some modicum of suspision and distain although fairly well hidden.

Kara nodded at Stone then, turning to Akorem she stated, “Aye, Sir. I shall go and begin pre-flight checks on the Naglfar.”

“Before you go Captain a brief word?” Viktoryia asked

And at that, the half-Klingon exited the bridge and began to head for the shuttle bay, a powerful wave of deja vue washing over her. She could only pray to the gods that this away mission would end less tragically than her last.

Kara Nakuto

Ravenfall CO

“ you want me on the away team. Did I hear that correctly captain?” she asked. She was a bit surprised and had to make shure she heard correctly. Sence she had been kidnaped she had been labeled as it exalt startled for away missions and very rearly if ever was she called to go one on. So she had to dibble check that she heard correctly.
Ensign Luna

Mere seconds later and Kara Nakuto had reappeared on the bridge, her face etched with a frown of confusion. Ravenfall had spoken so quickly, so unexpectedly to her, that it had taken a few moments for the words to truly register in the half-Klingon’s increasingly tumultuous mind.

“You require a word…with me? Ma’am?” she asked, her posture offering the requisite sumbission and yet still a lingering defiance, before her new Commanding Officer.

Kara Nakuto

CIO

“Yes ma’am” Viktoryia said as she made her way over to Kara. She lowered her voice so only the other captain could hear her “I want you to keep a close eye on Ensign Strenvale. During our last mission she attacked a senior officer, and put the lives of our away team in danger.”

Ravenfall, CO

Kalika nodded and tapped her comm, =^= Ensign Sharvi, it’s Darz. Meet me at the shuttle bay with a pair of phaser rifles, please.=^= She nodded to the others and headed out to meet Tath and get the extra weapons. With no idea what they were facing, she wanted to have more than phasers at their hips.

Kalika Darz
CoS

“Yes, Ma’am. On my way.” He hurried to the shuttle bay. He frowned when he saw her putting gear on to enter the shuttle. He handed her one of the rifles and pistols, and told her, “I wish I was going with you, for multiple reasons, but be safe out there Ma’am.”
