SNIP: "Mal, why don't you come with
us. Tru can give you some more flying lessons."
:ON:
Gwen stood at the turbo lift, looking at the teen, smiling.
Malachi Styles reflexively jumped at the
invitation to go on an away mission. Then he stopped quickly and
looked over to his step-father. Lukas gave a small smile, and a nod of
his head. Mal tried to hide his enthusiasm and joined Lt. Commander
Marqusa at the turbo lift.
Gwen smiled and entered the turbo lift after Mal. After the door
closed she looked to the others. "We all get to take a nice little
ride. Our guests need to get to Spacula Prime. However, the Eagle is
needed to safe guard the journey of a cargo ship. So, we'll be taking
them with the Falcon and Talon.
"We are using two ships because the Ambassador feels that their
safety is in question. Rommie, you will be taking the Talon, along
with The Ambassador. Choose whoever you'd like to take with you.
"Tru, Mal, you'll be coming with me on the Falcon. Along with our
guests.
"The Falcon will leave first, under the premise of giving young
Malachi more flying lessons." She inclined her head towards Mal and
smiled.
"Rommie, I want you to take the Talon out after us.
"Any questions?" The doors to the turbo lift opened and Gwen
stepped out, heading towards the shuttle bay.
Just one fr-from me," Lt. Haas asked as he
too stepped from the lift. "Will I be mirroring your course, or taking
a separate one altogether?
Gwen smiled, "I knew there was something I
forgot. Set a different course to Spacula Prime. I'm going to take
the Falcon on an indirect course. No flight plan, just let those
two," Indicating Tru and Mal, "figure out the best way to get there."
"Sounds like we're going to have some fun
Mal." Tru said, forgetting his crabbiness for the moment.
Malachi had a smile the whole turbo lift
ride and the walk to the shuttle bay. When Tru made his statement, the
grin got wider. "And we'll be transporting Tiama and her mother? Or
will she go on the Talon?"
"Tiama and her mother? I'm assuming you're
referring to the guests that beamed up with the Ambassador. They will
be coming on the Falcon.
"That reminds me though, that I want Ratch to join us on the
Falcon. Just in case."
"I'll take Josie, and Ensign Melody," Roman
said as he made his way to the shuttle bay. "That way if anyone i-is
watching us, they won't be s-sure which shipt to follow."
"Good idea."
Gwen walked into the shuttle bay. "Tru, get the Falcon ready.
Mal and I will go inform our guests of the travel arrangements.
Rommie, get the Talon ready and inform Melody and Josie.
"If there are no further questions." Gwen looked to the three
people to see if they had anything else.
"No questions from me, Commander," Malachi
replied. He was extremely eager to get a chance to fly the Delta
Flyer-class shuttle.... And to show off in front of Tiama.
"I-I don't have anything either," Haas
responded. He tapped his commbadge as he started for the Danube-class
runabout. "Lt. Haas to Lt. Tracy and Ensign Melody. Report to the
Talon for an away mission."
"I don't have anything either Commander."
Tru headed towards the Falcon without another word.
Gwen nodded, "Come on Mal. Let's go get our
guests."
She started to head out, then tapped her commbadge, "Doctor Hamza,
please report to the Falcon for an away mission." Then she headed out
of the shuttle bay.
