=== /\ Shutlebay, USS Chimera /\ ===== Jack walked through the doors of the shuttlebay with a rifle in one hand and a pistol in the other hand. As he gripped the rifle tighter in his hand he holstered the pistol to his leg and patted his chest, thinking perhaps that he should be wearing an armour plate considering his recent injury. He'd just been down to sickbay after Lt.Commander Summers had ordered him down there, she didn't really give him much choice and he thought that it probably wasn't a good idea to piss her off twice in as many days for the same thing. The lovely Mercedes Carpenter had been on hand to give him the once over, he didn't understand a word of the medical crap that came out of her mouth but regardless she told him he was good to go, as long as he didn't get into too much trouble he should be fine. He hoped that they wouldn't get into too much trouble at the moment, especially since they weren't really ready to engage the enemy from a tactical and diplomatic standpoint. As he strapped the rifle over his shoulder he caught the eye of Petty Officer Williams who was already on board the shuttle. The team was prepped and the door was almost ready to close, he got the impression that the ODA unit was going to leave with or without him. Something that he wouldn't tolerate. Jack climbed up the ramp and moved to the cockpit, taking the seat next to Williams. He leant over to Garry. "Is Lieutenant Oriana onboard?" "Aye Captain, she arrived first actually. Vulcan's for you." "Alright kids." Jack span round in his chair. "This mission is strictly recon on the books. Official line is we're investigating whatever signals are coming out of there. Unofficially we want to get a good look at what those bastards are hiding over there. I've seen them though, they're tricky. I expect you have all read my report on the Kzenti soldier i encountered planetside. Engineering is currently taking a good look at the specs I sent over and hopefully will be able to manufacture some kind of Electromagnetic weapon to use against them." "Sir!" they chanted in unison. "Walsh to Bridge. Permission to embark?" "You have a go Captain Walsh." replied Foster with the obvious hint of contempt that he felt for Jack, but screw him...he was just a lump of plastic in Jacks eyes. "Alright Petty Officer, you know what to do." Jack ordered as Garry took the shuttle out of the Chimeras Shuttlebay. "Oriana, keep an eye out on that signal, if anything changes on our approach I want to know about it straight away. McKnight I want you on tactical and Lynch you take the Engineering station. Keep us low and fast." Jack smirked as he began to monitor the situation around him. <<OOC Short but sweet to get us on our way. Alright lets have some fun and see where ya'll want to take things.
