The Return

[stewcool]

Scene: Same location but a few hours later.

Tenabras and her crew spent another 4 hours of waiting.
Still no news on Planet New Berlin. Any minute now
they should get a message of them getting ambushed
or them arriving at the intended destination.

*Red lights inside Tenabras start to flash*

*Amy's Voice over comm, defense grid commander.*
"Sir we have multiple ships getting in pretty close to
the 5 click boundary around the ship."

Travis taps a screen in front of him to get video
comm with Amy.

"Dont open fire unless they shoot first. Information
shows there only fighters. Lets hope the just pass over us."

Waiting for a brief moment the fighters got within 1 click
from Tenabras. Very close. Though not one stopped
or did anything hostile.

*Amy*
"Fighters are gaining distance. We're still in the clear."

*Travis*
"Roger that go back to yellow alert."

The lights go throughout the ship return to normal state.

*Stephanie*
"Sir we just got a comm signal from the crew on New Berlin."

*Travis*
"What's it say."

*Stephanie*
"Nothing....its a comm beacon. The emergency beacon."

The beacon was only ment to be activated if one or more
crew members not with the ship are either injured or
not alive.

*Travis*
"Prepare Able Search Team. Make sure they are well
prepared to land on New Berlin's dark side."

Stephanie taps her screen.

"This is Vice Admiral Stephanie. Calling Commander Alyssa."

"This is Commander Alyssa go ahead."

Alyssa was in charge of everything on the launch deck.
She was somewhat vertically challenged compared to most
people but no one took that as a disadvantage. Her
long brunette hair and light green eyes. With an hour
glass figure made her one of the most eye catching
Commanders in the 122nd.

"Commander Alyssa prep Able Search Team, destination
New Berlin. Dark side. Coordinates 1046 -202, 500 -110"

"Roger that Steph!"

Alyssa, in the main launch hanger, started calling out orders.
The hanger suddenly came to life with pilots and crew
running all over preparing for launch.

*Alyssa*
"All hands that aren't in safe suits clear the hanger!"

The safe suits are what are used to keep people alive when
the hanger doors open. It provides somewhat of a personal
shield.

"Open hanger bay doors!"

2 Large doors open outward under Tenabras. As 5 ships
exit the ship. 2 Fighters, 2 Transport/Rescue ships, and
1 recon fighter.

"Alyssa to Stephanie. All ships are in route to given coords."

*Stephanie*
"Roger that Alyssa good work."

Even with Order Technology the crew will have to wait
1 hour before any information on Able is recieved.
Finding another crew on such a large planet is very dificult.
