Hurry up and wait

Timeline: Mission Day 1, 18:15 hours

Location(s):

  • USS Astrea – Transporter Room 3

Characters Present:

  • Petty Officer Enam Nemec (Security)
  • Commander Clay McEntyre (Security)
  • Ensign S'Niri (Security)
  • Lieutenant (J.G.) T'lenn (Science)
  • Lieutenant Ghiram (Interim Chief Science Officer)
  • Commander Vila Lorut (XO / Science)
  • Commander Nash Winters (Chief Engineer)
  • Lieutenant Mundy (Operations)
  • Remira Johansen (Acting Captain) – via comm
Synopsis:

The assembled security, science, and engineering personnel complete EV-suit checks and gear preparations while waiting to beam down to the alien vessel. Enam and S'Niri secure the security contingent; T'lenn positions scientific kits and proposes targeting functioning power crystals during the initial sweep to restore ship systems. Ghiram runs final tricorder calibrations and cross-checks seals, while Winters offers to coordinate tricorder programming and transport enhancers to mitigate hazardous field effects. A brief protocol dispute arises over informal address between Winters and T'lenn, but command structure holds firm. Captain Johansen confirms the plan via comms: the initial team will secure the area, prioritize life support power, and return by nightfall if conditions permit; Nash, Mundy, Thisbe, and Ghiram will spearhead the technical effort once beamed down. The team energizes the transporter and prepares to execute a cautious, phased boarding operation.
