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. _________________

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. _________________

Talbert smiled briefly. "Captain. I'm Commander Roger Talbert, First officer of the Federation Starship Guardian. I believe we may have an engineer that fits that description." He looked to the helmsman and said, "Helm slow to impulse and set an intercept course. Captain, standby your position and we'll transport an engineer over to you as soon as we are in range."
"Lt. Vanquax to the bridge right away!" Called the XO into the comlink. "Lt. Kuplo we need to transport an engineering team to a damaged Myosian freighter in a short time. I'd prefer not to use you while we are moving in a weakened condition, but if you think the team can handle it, you can take the assignment yourself." _________________

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. _________________

"Shit..." she mumbled as she nearly spilled her cup of soup down the front of her uniform. "This is what I get for trying to take a quick lunch break.." she muttered to herself as she made her way down the corridor to the turbo lift.
"Bridge" she said and felt the instant panic that the lifts brought on her. As the humming ceased she let out a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding. This can't be good... why in the world would they call me to the bridge? she thought to herself as the doors slid open.
"Lt. Vanquax reporting as ordered Sir" she said as she took a stance next to the chair Talbert sat in. _________________

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?" _________________
