Task Force: Gamma

Talbert settled into the "big chair" as the Guardian resumed warp speed. He glanced around the bridge with some satisfaction. For a new crew this team was coming together nicely. Mehv was an unexpected surprise to be sure, but a pleasant one. Even the new security chief was settling into his role well, and Talbert began to see something of the future here. This group was going somewhere, and it seemed like they were going there together. A command crew could hardly ask for more.

"Mr. Daniels, be sure to inform Captain Marek when we reach the shipyards, and keep an ear peeled for them. Helm, steady as she goes."

USS Guardian

The ship cruises along towards it's destination for several hours, rarely does it have to drop below warp 5, until something is picked up by the long range sensors.

"Commander Talbert, I'm detecting a vessel, several million kilometers off our port side." Thomas taps her console, "The vessel is traveling at impulse speed on a roughly parallel course, it appears to be leaking warp plasma."

Shuttlecraft Tucker

Marek confirms the shuttle is on course, then turns to Roekil, "So Commander, I am pleased to see the improved response times on the security team's training drills, most impressive."

(OOC: I think the response times would be decreased, just as a matter of course....)

Talbert looked at Daniels. "Hail them Ensign." He ordered.

Daniels opened a channel and sent a hailing frequency pulse their way.

OOC I think I meant to type improved, hahaha I'll edit

OOC part deux, and I'll post a full post later.

USS Guardian
Bridge

The viewscreen flickers, then an image slowly comes into focus. The audio is choppy for a moment, as the Myosian woman appears to be shouting orders. "Cho...ring...remodulate the..." There's a pause then, "Sorry about that, it's been a long (universal translator fails to translate). I am Captain Saia of the Myosian Freighter Starchild." She looks over her shoulder. "You wouldn't happen to have an Engineer that's worth a damn, would you?" Shouting can be heard in the background.

Shuttlecraft Tucker

The shuttle approaches the planet at 1/4 impulse. Out of the windows the three officers see a planet that appears much like Earth. Nearly a quarter of the area of the planet they can see appears to be covered by a strong thunderstorm.

Harper studied the sensor readout thoughtfully, "The planet is class M, with a variety of primitive life and flora. The area of electromagnetic disturbance, however, shows little life, if sensors can be trusted. There's a lot of interference." She taps the console for a minute. "Sending the coordinates for a likely landing site."

Marek raises an eyebrow when the coordinates arrive, they appear to be dead center of the storm. "This may be a slightly abnormal landing sequence." His fingers danced across the controls as the ship began it's descent. He addresses Roekil while keeping his eyes on the controls, "Commander, route power from weapons to shields and auxillary power to inertial dampeners." The ship began to shudder under the wind shear as lightening forks across the sky.

Saia smiles with relief, "Thank you Commander Talbert, We would be very appreciative of any assistance you can give us." She motions off screen, "We will stop and wait for your arrival."

Shuttlecraft Tucker

The shuttlecraft shuddered as another gust of wind tried to blow it off course. "Approaching the landing site, it appears to be sheltered from most of the wind by the cliffs nearby, that should make landing easier." Marek tapped the console, "Two minutes until touchdown."

Talbert sat down and watched the staff move into smooth operation. As soon as Vanquax hit the bridge, he would put her on tactical station. With Roekil off the ship, they had no ranking tactical officer. This would be another test of his judgment and her ability.

"Helm close to transporter range and hold position. Be prepared to warp out at the first sign of trouble." He ordered. "Transporter room standby to transport an engineering detail to a Myosian frieghter, coordiantes coming. Mr. Daniels, give the transporter room the details when we stop."

Orders given, Talbert did the only thing he could do. He sat back and waited.

USS Guardian Bridge

Ensign Tanaka tapped commands onto her console, "Yes sir," She smiled slightly as the Guardian approached the freighter smoothly. A few minutes later she spoke, "We are within 10,000 meters sir, heading 214.5."

Shuttlecraft Tucker Planet's surface

Marek tensed slightly as the shuttle lurched at the last moment, making what should of been a smooth landing a jarring one. "That was exciting, Lt. your choice of landing zones is peculiar to say the least." Marek's fingers flew across the console as he shutdown the engines. The rear hatch opened, letting a gust of wind inside the cabin. "Mr. Roekil, you have lead." Marek stood, gathering a phaser and a tricorder, Lt. Harper doing the same.

Guardian - Main Engineering
Lt Mehvra-Kuplo

"Very well Commander, I'll put together a team for initial analysis of the problem and determine how to proceed from there."

Turning to the staff, "Chief Roe, I'd like you to go as lead along with Daniels, Frederick, and Poussant. Head to transporter room 2. Check in after initial analysis is complete."

Roekil stuck his head out of the back of the shuttle and scanned the horizon quickly. The electromagnetic interference made his tricorder useless.

"Captain, it appears safe but tricorder readings are innacurate due to the storm."

USS Guardian Engineering

Roe nodded to Kuplo, who was shocked that he didn't even grumble. Roe grabbed a toolkit and left Engineering, arriving at the transporter room two minutes later.

Shuttlecraft Tucker

Marek nodded, "Proceed Commander." He clipped his tricorder to his belt and pulled his phaser, "Lt. Harper, try to clean up the interference, see if you can get any useful sensor information."

"Yes sir, I should be able to clean it up some." She grabs a large case for samples and follows the two officers out of the shuttlecraft.

Talbert looked at Vanquax with some internal humor. She looks like she's expecting a death sentence, he thought.

"Lt. V, take the tactical station. Give me a readout on the freighter, just to make sure we aren't walking into anything unusual. Also, give me a tactical sweep of the area." He tapped a comlink open on the command chair. "Chief Roe when you get the Myosians back to warp capability, we're going to get underway again. I'd like your team to remain aboard the freighter until we arrive at Panthenael IV."

He closed the channel. "Ensign Tanaka, set a course for the shipyard. When we hear from the chief we'll get underway and match the freighter's top speed, understood?"
