<Shuttle 'Hurricane' - Around the time the sh*t hits the fan> Kieran's eyes flicked up from the display for a brief moment, as Qbed appeared, and then back to his work as Sam listed their options - he used the word options, of course, in the broadest sense. Neither was a particularly pleasant choice. "Well, we've absolutely no chance of hiding humanoid lifesigns such as ours on the ocean world - we'd be the only returns on a scan for advanced life. That is unless you can find a deep, deep ocean trench, preferably with some dense, reactive rock formations in the area, but I don't think we've time for that. Prime Directive only comes into play if we make contact with the locals. I say find a deep, dark cave, preferable one we can get the Hurricane into, and hide away. Shut the systems down, and hope someone comes to collect us."
