Lt. Aine Sherlock - No Easy Days

[Aine Sherlock]

((Outside a Temple, Gratitude Festival, Bajor))

As the trio of officers made their way out of the temple, Aine slipped the silver pendant into her satchel. She still couldn't fathom what was going to happen that was so important as to keep it a secret from her. One day, she was going to have to have a word or two with the Prophets. Just as she did, the combadge she'd tucked into the satchel, just in case, chirped as did Promontory's.

Katsim: =/\=Katsim to Sherlock.  Oumuamua.  Greaves.  Promontory.  Toz.  Anyone!=/\=

The voice coming through the crackling sounded in distress. Before she could pull out her combadge, Promontory hit his.

Promontory:=/\= Promontory and Sherlock here, what do you need? =/\=

Herrick: Response

Sherlock: Sounds like we lost the signal.

Promontory: She sounded in distress, we should try to reach her.

Aine agreed. She gave the Intel officer a sharp nod as her mindset immediately turned back to work. Luckily, she'd secreted her custom phaser in her satchel. Unluckily, she was still in a damn dress. She knew she shouldn't have worn a dress.

Promontory: =/\= Promontory to ‘Oumuamua. We’re trying to locate Lt Commander Katsim Peri, she just tried to hail us, but is now non-responsive. =/\=

Some Enlisted Crew Working Whilst Everyone Else Is On Leave (SECWWEEIOL): =/\= This is the Oumuamua. We read her coms traffic but can’t pinpoint a signal. Wherever she is, there’s some kind of interference. =/\=

Aine was a little frustrated by their response. Clearly this was coming from a combadge and not their shuttle, which meant trouble.

Sherlock: =/\= Look...for...their shuttle. =/\=

Herrick: Response

Promontory: (nodding) Let’s do it. =/\= Oumuamua, initiate a site-to-site transport to as close as you can approximate the commander’s last position. (beat) And beam us down a tac kit as well. =/\=

Sherlock: ::pulling out her Bajoran hold-out phaser:: Do you guys often leave the ship unarmed?

Herrick: Response

Aine shook her head. Clearly these "kids" didn't get into enough trouble in their off time.

Promontory: =/\= Engage =/\=

The blue glow of the transporter filled her vision and the ancient city around them faded and was replaced by the nearby wilderness.

Sherlock: Grab what you need from the kit, I got us covered.

Herrick/Promontory: Response

After the pair kitted up, Aine tucked away her phaser and grabbed a rifle from the kit. She double checked the power pack and put the setting on Level 3. She was hoping it could come to needing something higher this time.

Herrick/Promontory: response

Sherlock: We can try calling out. Or maybe being closer, the comms will work.

Herrick/Promontory: response
