Dyan Sylvanis -> # ::Smirks:: Well if it makes you feel better, I think we fried a couple of them when the Chief here polarized the hull briefly. They all ran off.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @Skobee> +AT+ Skobbe calling Away Team. Come in?

EddieFreeman -> # ::takes a seat and hammers the comm:: Shuttle Skobee, this is the away team. How do you copy?

Hunter Matheson -> # Tasha> ::checking vitals::

H.G. Reed -> :: Sends updates to Hok. ::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @Skobee> ::Lt Dan frowns::: +Freeman+ Okay, we'll have some teams come over to you with some stretchers. We'll let medical on Challenger know

Hunter Matheson -> # O'Neill> +Marine+ Incoming blue. Hold your fire.

EddieFreeman -> # We'll look out for you. Just so you know, the wildlife is hostile and seriously dangerous. That's why we have wounded.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # ::Looks down at Cass, nodding.:: Yes Ma'am. Excuse me. ::Walks back up to the front of the shuttle where Eddie is.:: Who are you talking to?

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @ Dan> Gump! Look in the back and get out the stretchers!

EddieFreeman -> # ::to Sylvanis:: The cavalry. Shuttle incoming from Challenger.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @Gump> OK, Lt Dan! ::rummages for the portable stretchers in the back of the shuttle::

Dyan Sylvanis -> # A shuttle? Really? ::Calls back to Cass.:: Captain, the cavalry is here.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> @ Pilot> Make it quick! I don't know how much we can last down here.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # ::Almost forgets.:: Oh Commander, tell them to close off their intakes.

Cassie Granger -> # ::Dyan:: Tell 'em to keep the horses away from the shuttle. We got enough schitzle here.

Cassie Granger -> # ::not in a good mood, no, not at all:::

EddieFreeman -> # ::to shuttle:: Close off your intakes, by the way - gotten us in some trouble down here.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> $ Skobee> ::spots the landing spot. The crew should now see/hear the shuttle incoming::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> crew = away team

John Randall -> #::shakes his head, and speaks through clenched teeth:: No, I'm just fine. Go back to your captain.

EddieFreeman -> # ::to nobody in particular:: I don't like leaving without Rinax... ::glancing out the window:: Looks like our bus is here, though.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> $ Lt Dan> Weapons out, fellas. Keep an eye peeled for those darned dirty apes!

Hunter Matheson -> # Tasha> ::Native American eyes narrow:: Due respect, sir, looks like you could use a burn patch.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # I don't think there is much we can do for her at the moment. Chances are, she's not even on planet anymore.

H.G. Reed -> :: files a report on the Skobee's progress. ::

EddieFreeman -> # Yeah. And we need to get Granger and Randall up shipside anyway...

Cassie Granger -> # ::listening to the chatter as best she can::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> $ Bubba> THey're monkies sir, not apes.

John Randall -> #::his glare intensifies:: I'm fine, Marine. Go back to your captain.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> $ Action: Skobee lands safely. No signs of any monkeys, the shuttle's lights and engines scared them off.

Hunter Matheson -> # Tasha> ::holds his glare, unflinching:: Aye, sir.

EddieFreeman -> # ::scans for evil crazy people-eating monkeys as shuttle approaches::

John Randall -> #::stops looking at the Marine, and stares straight ahead, clenching his teeth against the pain::

Dyan Sylvanis -> # ::Hears the commotion between Randall and Tasha. Talking quieter.:: Oh by the way, since you're in command now, can you make your assistant accept medical treatment. Seems he is being stubborn.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> $ Marines> ::depart from the shuttle and heads to the Challenger team::

Hunter Matheson -> # Tasha> ::moves past him to the emergency lockers to check supplies::

EddieFreeman -> # ::snorts:: Well. I'll try. ::gets up and heads back::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ACTION: The Skobee Marines spot the Challenger shuttle and knock on the door.

H.G. Reed -> The Skobee's tracking abilities. ::

EddieFreeman -> # ::turns back as Sylvanis opens the hatch::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> # lt Dan> Ah. You all in here? Your ride's here.

EddieFreeman -> # We're still missing Rinax, it seems. But the rest of us are here.

Dyan Sylvanis -> # Right. ::Looking to Eddie and Cass.:: What are we to do with our shuttle?

Cassie Granger -> # ::Eddie:: Your call, Commander.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> # Lt Dan> Where's the injured? ::Sees Cass and John, motions for the stretchers to be brought over:: I'm sure we'll be able to find her.

John Randall -> #::stands up very slowly out of the chair, stifling a moan as he bangs his leg against a chair; stands fully erect, his eyes ice-blue::

EddieFreeman -> # Shoulda known I wasn't getting off this rock without making at least one call. ::pauses:: Leave it, for now. We're not leaving the system just yet, I assume, so we might have a chance to recover it. But pull some parts, cripple it for the time being.

Hunter Matheson -> # Tasha> ::comes forward as Lt Dan brings on the stretchers:: Lieutenant.

EddieFreeman -> # Cripple it more, I should say.

H.G. Reed -> :: Opens up a file labeled "Spruce Goose" and makes a few notations. ::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> # Lt Dan> We'll fire a shot at the shuttle after we take off.

Cassie Granger -> # ::on the stretcher:: Lt Dan, Delta and Bravo are on perimeter. Don't leave 'em behind.

EddieFreeman -> # ::goes to the back to do terrible things for which he would normally be fired:: That might work. But we don't want to wreck it, just prevent anyone from salvaging it.

John Randall -> #::allows the Marines to strap him into the stretcher, but his anger intensifies::

EddieFreeman -> # ::pauses on the way back, leaning over Randall:: You okay, man?

Dyan Sylvanis -> # ::Begins disabling everything from the console she could that would further prevent the shuttle from being tampered with.::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> # Lt Dan> ::Takes perimeter as ordered and heads back to the Shuttle::

John Randall -> #::stares up at Freeman, then stares straight up, not trusting himself to say anything::

Dvokr chim Hok -> +Shuttle+ Copy that

Hunter Matheson -> ::in the shuttle with the rest of Delta and Bravo::

Hunter Matheson -> ::tight fit::

John Randall -> #::the thought goes through his mind that he will have to report to sickbay again; it does nothing to improve his mood::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> # Pilot> ::once everyone is aboard, he takes off on the hunt for Cdr Rinax::

H.G. Reed -> :: Makes a light notation of the Skobee's status. ::

EddieFreeman -> # ::squeezed in like a sardine::
