"Waiting for Straggler's"
Cmdr Skyler, Georgia Lewis, Lyta Michaelson, K'etrall and Veronica Pageant
K'etrall had gathered her meager belongings and was climbing ladder to
ladder to reach deck 10 and the RA Arthur. She had her Bat'leth and other
Klingon
knives with her as well as her own personal tool kit. She was not about to
leave the Avalon without her prized possessions. Upon finally reaching her
destination she found her assigned runabout and walked in the already open
door.
Upon entering she saw the human at the helm entering coordinates and running
safety checks. She merely nodded as she made her way towards the back where
she hoped to find a seat by herself. Halfway to her destination she saw Cmdr.
Skyler.
"Commander, I believe I am assigned to this vessel." K'etrall had really had
much dealings with Skyler but had heard about her. At least what she heard
wasn't as bad as some of the people she had to work with.
Skyler turned to look at the engineer. "You are correct Lt. You are indeed
assigned to this vessel. I am glad to have you aboard. It is always good to
have an experienced engineer aboard just in case something goes wrong. The way
the Avalon is dying, we can only hope the shuttles and runabouts are not
affected. In fact, why don't you do a quick diagnostic to make sure all is in
working condition." She didn't want this runabout to crash upon departure or
arrival.
"Understood Ma'am. I will get to work on it immediately." Heading to toward
the rear of the Arthur K'etrall put her gear down, except for her tools.
Keeping the tools she made her way to the engines and the cloak to make sure
all
was it should be.
Skyler checked her list and marked off the engineer. Now all she was waiting
on was the Captain's yeoman and a security officer named Logan. Once those
two arrived they could depart and make their way to Izar.
Walking back to the front of the shuttle Skyler took the seat next to Lyta.
"Are we all set to go Lyta?"
"Course is laid in and ready. As soon as everyone arrives we will be set to
go Commander. However the sooner we can leave the less chance there will be of
the shuttle's gel packs becoming infected."
Skyler nodded her head in agreement. What the hell was taking everyone so
long? Hadn't they heard the evacuation order? Just as she thought to herself
that it was taking so long, the captain's yeoman came running toward the
runabout.
Huffing from running Veronica looked at Skyler, "Sorry it took me so long to
get here. I was clearing up some last minute details for the Captain."
"At least you're here now yeoman. Please take a seat and stow your gear. We
will be leaving as soon as the last passenger arrives."
"Yes Sir." Veronica walked toward Georgia and sat down in the seat next to
the older woman.
Georgia could see how nervous Veronica was. "Calm youself Misses. Everythin
will be jest fine. Wes in a good ship ans Is knows Ms. Skyler ain't gonna let
nutin happen to us all. Shes been through dis before and survived. Is was wit
her and Is still here."
Veronica looked at Georgia, "You have had to leave the Avalon before?"
"Yes'm, wes has. Only lastest time was in a cramped escaped pod and we
drifted for days afore crashing on a planet. Ms. Skyler made sure wes was all
okay. Sos yous don't need to worry yourself. Wes gonna be jest fine."
Veronica nodded her head, "I sure hope so. I hate leaving this ship." She
made sure she was buckled in as tight as possible and started to pray in her
head that they would be alright.
Skyler went through her checklist one last time. She wanted to make sure
everyone was aboard that was supposed to be. It also helped to keep her mind
off
of Melanie and the baby. She wished they were on the same shuttle but it
wasn't meant to be. Hopefully they would meet up again on Izar. Besides
Melanie
had Vevay now so she was being taken care of. She hoped Amelia was okay as
well. She didn't like the fact that those she had grown to care about were on
different vessels. She could only hope that everyone arrived safely. There was
nothing else she could do.
