===== Bridge, USS Chimera ===== "Whats the status of the ODA force?" asked Guzman turned to Dexter who was (as usual) behind the Tac console. The young Tactical officer tapped his console for a moment again before looking up at Shane and replying: "All three Warhammer runabouts are heading towards the landing point. No problems were reported from the runabouts besindes a temporary problem on Warhammer 2's weapon systems. Expected time till landing is about three minutes." Shane noded and turned away, looking now at the main screen where the planet of Sidos filled the lower part of the view. For the fifth time, Shane was asking himself if the assault idea on the ground was a clever one. It could be a glorious and fast victory, but the same a great debacle, consting tenths of lives. Lives he was responsible for in the first line ... Of course, he was not speaking to anyone about his doubts and gurded his facial expression as well. The last thing the crew needed was a Commander who was uncertain about his own orders. {What they dont know, that wont make them fuzzy} he thought. From the background noise of the bridge several words catched Shane's attention. It was Foster saying: "Acknowledged, Commander. Please stand by." Only half a moment passed when Foster asked for his attention: "Commander, Commander Palmer contacted the bridge stating that a man is insisting that you come down to talk to him, urgently." Shane looked at the Ops officer with surprise about the news. "A man is insisting that I come down and talk to him?" he asked not ready to belive he's heard right. But Foster noded: "Yes, sir. She said that she's in turolift one" "Anything happened there?" Shane asked still taken by surprise of the unexpected request. "Not sure sir" Foster replied, "but the Commander said that they have a 'situation' there" Shane frowned and replied slowly: "Do you think that she tries to tell us somethi ..." His words were interrupted by the voice of Commander Summers. One more time she prooved that man somethimes think too long and act to slow. +Taps+ Summers here..send a security team to deck six...+ +Taps+ Do you require help ma'am+ LtFosters voice replied. +Taps No..its all under control now. One of the crew from a shuttle is with us. + +Taps+ Ma'am..sickbay just put out an alert recalling all shuttles crews to sickbay+ said Foster as he looked up from his computer pannel where a few red a yellow lights announced the medical alert. +Taps+ I see. Now it was Shane who tapped his Commbadge: +TAPS+ Guzman to Summers. Are you and Palmer all right? Where are you? +TAPS+ Summers here. Yes, both of us are all right and we have just arrived on deck six and head towards the sickbay. +TAPS+ What happend there? +TAPS+ Hmm ... just an accident, but we belive it might be connected with the situation in Sickbay +TAPS+ Understood. Please keep me informed about the situation +TAPS+ We certainly will + sounded Rangi's voice a bit amused about Shane's request. Rangi always kept him informed. Shane scratched his chin and thought that the last thing he could need was a situation on the sickbay. {Cloaked shuttles might still be lurking out there, all my security forces are on Sidos and now some freaking patogen is playing game with my crew} he thought and swore in his mind. ===== End of log ====== Cmdr.
