Ensign Stephanie Moore: Plan B???

[hoodsdavid]

((Frontierland, Shuttlecraft Scott))

:: For the duration of the moment while the rest left, Stephanie and Shayne focused on shuttle readiness as right now, the environment proved to be not just hostile, but lethal given the nature of the what she suspected was some kind of climate changing storm, along with the planet's unreported native inhabitants. Having a moment to just sit and collect herself, without the rush or the endorphins pushing her, she found the center of her calm, and focused on the job at hand. ::

Moore: If I'm reading this right, our window of departure is narrowing, Randell.

Shayne: [TAG]

:: Stephanie brought up her initial scan results of the planet, feeling herself pale as the instrumentation tracked the patterns of the storm and extrapolated details of when it would hit this outpost. ::

Moore: Right. I've got pre-flight in readiness. We're green.

Shayne: [TAG]

:: A metallic screech twisted Stephanie around in the chair and onto her feet, drawing a phaser into hand. Her bluish-greens scanned the back of the shuttle, now empty, as the horrid screeches continued, prompting her to raise her head toward the ceiling. oO No... they couldn't be that smart, could they? Oo ::

:: A shudder rocked the ship as both Stephanie and Randell held on for balance. The front controls blasted a familiar siren as red flashes replaced the lights of the shuttle. She dove back for the co-pilot's chair, punching up where the alert stemmed from as information poured in. ::

Shayne: [TAG]

Moore: We've lost one of the panels!

:: Sparks blew somewhere aft as a transmission cut through into the cockpit. ::

Blair: =/\= Shayne, Moore get out of there! That thing’s going to tear the shuttle apart! =/\=

:: Stephanie shared a glance with Shayne before she grabbed a nearby headband and slipped it on. They both knew they couldn't afford to lose the shuttle. ::

Moore: You sure you can do this?

Shayne: [TAG]

:: Nodding, Stephanie strapped herself in as Shayne fired up the thrusters and got on the com. ::

Moore: =^= This is Moore. Shayne is going to launch! We'll take the Scott up and see if we can't ditch our hitchhiker in the storm! If I may make a suggestion? Let's get the civilians into groups we can encompass in the shuttle. Once assembled, we'll fly back down for emergency boarding procedures! =^=

Blair/Carr/Mayne/T'Mar/Larson/Nicholotti/Weston: [TAG]

Moore: =^= I'd reccomend getting the other shuttle launched, too, sir! Sucks having to fly in these conditions, but if keeps the shuttles safe... =^=
