<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Exits Turbolift on to bridge::  All: Well, our Betazed friends are tucked away in their newly acquired mission pods, ready for their trip home.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::On Bridge, at Science 1, monitoring the wormhole opening so we can travel through.::  All: Sensors show we have a clear run if conditions hold.  As long as we hold on course should be a smooth sail.

Host Reefraron_Barr says:
::On the Cherokee, trying to keep the people in his section calm during the trip.  Many have lived their entire life on the surface and are nervous in space.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO/CIV: Are we ready?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: That is good.  And yes, we seem to be ready from what I can see.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::on Tactical, reading some brief reports, just to keep updated::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Indeed sir.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: Mister Alvarado, set a course and take us in at impulse.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> CO: Aye, sir . ::taps on his screen:: Ready to initiate impulse engines at your command, sir.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> ::finger hovering over a red button::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::Monitoring the mission pods::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: Engage.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> CO: Impulse engines engaged. ::taps on the button and double checks flight path parameters::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: Wormhole remaining steady, shields and other ship generated fields at minimal to reduce risk.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO>  All:: Ship a full impulse on the set course.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: Should we leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find our way out again.  ::Smiles::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: I think we can find our way, sir.  Plus the breadcrumbs might attract space vermin in their search for food and all that. 

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO/SO: Make them big and in glowing colors.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> ::thinks:: Was that a joke? Gee... that Vulcan is weird.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: Seriously though, we should be fine.  The wormhole is holding open, so we should have a visual path to our own universe through it.  Confirmed by sensors set to check the quantum spin, of course.

ACTION: The Cherokee is approaching the opening of the wormhole, currently 10KM and closing fast.

ACTION: Through the wormhole a group of 6 small mining ships can be detected, waiting for the return of the colonists.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: We're detecting the six mining ships waiting for their fellow colonists.  I think we're headed in the right direction.  Not that I had any doubt...  Never mind.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
OPS: They seem friendly.  Or as friendly as an orb with a few mining cutters and assorted other tools can look.

ACTION: As the Cherokee enters the wormhole, there is a very slight flash of the shields as they adapt to the new realities, but otherwise it is a smooth transition.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CIV: Keep an eye on those mining ships.  I'm sure they're just the Welcome Wagon but... just keep an eye on them.

ACTION: The mining ships fall into a loose escort formation, a sloppy attempt to show respect.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::brings the sensors data on the tactical screen::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I think they are trying to salute us. Looks the formation.  By the way, their weapons are no match for ours, sir.

Host Planetary_Control says:
@COM: Cherokee: This is Fregrand colony, Cherokee.  We are transmitting coordinates for the pod our colonists reported they would be landing with.  Let us know if you need anything from us.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CIV: Good to know.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: We should be in reasonable Transporter Range shortly, wormhole and system still appears stable.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
Planetary Control: Understood.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: We have the spot where they want their new pod delivered.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: We'll tell them its C.O.D..

Host Reefraron_Barr says:
<Duty Engineer> CO: Captain, we are ready to initiate the pod landing on your order with those coordinates.  Pod should have no issues landing where indicated.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Duty Engineer: Proceed when ready.  Set her down nice and easy.

Host Reefraron_Barr says:
<Duty Engineer> CO: Aye sir, couldn't do otherwise with the guidance system on board.

Host Reefraron_Barr says:
<Duty Engineer> CO: Aye sir, couldn't do otherwise with the guidance system on board.
All: Pod is released, built in thrusters are taking it down.  ETA 10 minutes until landfall.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Duty Engineer: Very good.  Hope they have a safe landing.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::performs a passive long range scan, just to be sure::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: Wormhole staying stable, emitters holding it stable.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Long range sensors do not pick any threats to the ship, sir. So far, so good.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CIV: Good to know.
SO: Also, good to know.
