Riel: :: Looking skeptical :: Shooting their own ships and handing out bank accounts... Please feel free to start making sense anytime now. The part about Doctor Nicholotti sounds pretty personal, though.

Es-Aleh: A little bit, yeah.

Frost: A surprising number of things with Kali are personal. She's affected a lot of people, for better or worse.

Morgan: Well, it was under her watch that the Alliance formed. She put her ship between a Klingon and a Romulan fleet. The result sent ripples through the Trinity sector.

:: Lan's eyebrows raised and he let out the mental equivalent of a whistle. If that was the kind of person that Fleet Captain Nicholotti had been - and that Doctor Nicholotti maybe still was - then he had a lot to learn from her... and he should monitor her interactions with Frost carefully. ::

Frost: I was there. I can back that up.

Riel: His motives notwithstanding, this Krax fellow just single-handedly thwarted a Klingon attempt at crossing the border, revealed to us that they have updated their cloaking technology, did it without any bloodshed that could have motivated reprisals from their part, and threw us a pot of gold for our allies, as an added bonus...

Es-Aleh: [Tag]

Morgan: Perhaps, but something still seems off.

Frost: A lot of things seem off. This whole part of space seems off. You'll probably get used to it. Maybe.

:: The Borderlands: abandon all logic, all ye who enter here. That being said, the dejected tone of the captain's remak had Lan worrying that the oddities and convoluted politics of the region were starting to take their toll on Frost's morale.
Such professional concerns were interrupted by a blast of static from the comms system. ::

Frost: What was that? Was it the Away team?

:: Lan looked at his console, then gave the Commander a questioning look. ::

Riel: Array online and transmitting. We have established communications with either Scott or the settlement. :: Turning to Gina :: Do you think you could determine which probes are receiving and relocate the others to improve the signal?

Es-Aleh: [Tag]

Morgan: Not sure it's stable, but it's better than what we had!

Frost: Keep working at it. And try a replay in case they're having better luck with their reception.

Morgan/Es-Aleh: [Tag]

Riel: We could use visual signals to send them our message even if the storm messes up with their comms, but I think the main problem lies between us and our probes.

Morgan/Es-Aleh: [Tag]

Frost: I just hope they managed to get down there safe. If they can get a message through, give them whatever they need. There are no restrictions until our people are back.

Morgan/Es-Aleh: [Tag]

:: A thought crossed Lan's mind. ::

Riel: If we want to evacuate everyone on the planet in the next few hours, we'll need to send every shuttle we can as soon as the away team has secured a landing location. Better get the engines running.

Frost/Morgan/Es-Aleh: [Tag]

:: True. The flying through the storms could prove problematic. They only had one Shayne, after all. And one Frost, who was certainly thinking about going himself, and should stop this very second, because that was out of the question. ::

Riel: Well, that's not my field of expertise at all, but... could unmanned shuttles and beam-guiding do the trick?
