Following their discussion, Andrew waved his people to action.

Commander Lokran and Lt Cmdr Brislan, and Lt Quan headed for the shuttle. Major Crespin headed off to join her fighter squadron.
Colonel Hurd issued orders to have some of the marines join the shuttle with the away team.

Lt Cmdr Yamaguchi started interrogating the Buraqs computer system, and see if she could command the Buraq to lower its life support temperature.

Andrew sat and watched and waited, but he had a feeling he would not have to wait long. inwardly he smiled, he was very happy with the way his lead officers were all working together.

He still had a question though, where were the crew of the Buraq?

Meanwhile, Torilla Yamaguchi narrowed her eyes as she gently interrogated the badly damaged computer of the USS Buraq as she slipped a communications earpiece into her left ear as she accessed the com logs, there were a lot of them as someone tried to evacuate survivors.

She narrowed her eyes. "Captain... there is a fair chunk of com chatter here... someone was squawking, two shuttles were able to escape while a third bought time for them... from the looks of this data... the rest of the crew... a few were captured by the Gorn.... beamed away after the two shuttles escaped.." she explained as she listed in on the chatter.

"Evac transport Delta 1-5 to Evac Dispatch: loaded up, ready to go!" came a voice which sounded like a native to Alpha Centauri.

"Delta 1-5, this is Evac Dispatch, copy that. Proceed at your discretion." came a different voice over the same com channel, this time it was someone who was not human, his accent sounded unusual and Torilla couldn't place it.

"Delta 1-5 to dispatch: Unknown fighters on my tail!. I don't think they are Gorn... Taking enemy fire!"

"Copy, Delta 1-5. Can you-" the first transmission was interrupted by the second. "Mayday! Port engines hit, we're going in! I'm going to try to set her down!" Torilla knew what he was referring to, either it would be the heavily populated planet of Cestus III or another world nearby. "Mmm..." Torilla decided to do a remote download as she opened a com channel to the away team. "Away Team, this is Homeplate." the baseball reference made her smile. "Be advised, the USS Buraq's main computer core is heavily damaged, expect it to be boobytrapped and tampered with." she explained. "recommend letting me finish my remote download first, over?"
