to UFOP: StarBase 118: USS Athena
((Shuttle USS Heraclius))
McKnight: So what's the plan, commander? Shall we proceed with the mission or head back?
Cattan: We have already lost some precious time, besides the scan’s aren’t giving us any information of what to expect down there. It’ll be a tough mission to carry out.
:: Lan turned towards the cockpit, a frown on his brow. ::
Riel: :: Have we already reached the limits of the transporter inhibition field?
Cattan: No we haven’t reached that point yet…
Williams: Well whatever we want to achieve here will need to be reevaluated. Brell outranks me and by now he probably discussed the situation with the captain so unless anyone agrees I think his last comment made it clear we are to head home and get briefed on something important…
Riel: Well, :: he pointed a thumb towards the now inactive viewscreen :: Commander Brell requested for "you and some of the away team". If we could ask him to specify, we could just beam the people he wants to see to the Athena, and let the others carry on the mission. We are on a time limit after all.
Williams: Under normal circumstances, I would agree, but with we don’t know who is coming with Brell. Let’s discuss that first, a quick rendezvous with the Athena still leaves enough time to resume the mission. We have 3 days. An hour less shouldn’t make the difference.
Riel: :: Acknowledging the decision with a nod and the traditional Betazoid response :: In good faith, Sir.
Cattan: Sir ::turning to Alex:: What I would like to know is if it has something to do with the dangers of this mission since they sent a medical runabout.
Williams: oO Hmm hadn’t thought of that Oo Interesting point but with what appears to be a communication blackout I am not sure Starfleet was aware of our new mission. And since it only started a few hours ago they couldn’t have sent help at this speed. They must have been sent days ago.
:: Which meant decided even longer ago, and therefore planned even before that... and very, very likely to clash with their current, planned-at-the-last minute mission in the most annoying way possible. ::
Cattan: Maybe Commander Tel-ar can tell us more.... apparently they only need a few of us.
Williams: oO Pulling me away from my First Officer spot after a few days is a BIG favor to ask… Oo We’ll see. :: Pointing at the Athena that was getting bigger as they approached her shuttle bay:: Looks like our answer is waiting for us.
