Mission: The Displaced
Location: Eirian ship

//// Transporter room 1 ////

Suzanna strode into the transporter room, a few people had already gathered, she noticed Ensigns Quin and Collingway and nodded in greeting. Shortly after, two more operations people arrived.

“Corbin to Batenburg. Our… Eirian guests, are ready to join the away team. We will transport them directly from here to meet you.”

“Understood, Captain,” Suzanna replied. “Engineering, Science and Operations standing by. I suggest we also send a shuttle over in case we run into power problems and cannot transport.” She stepped onto the transported pad, carrying a tricorder and a phaser, set to stun. No one else was armed, and that was fine. They were not expecting problems, only thing missing was some duct tape, she mused. Her father, a lover of all things old, including vehicles and gadgets of the old days on Earth, had always maintained that a hammer, duct tape and something called DW40 were all you needed to work on an old-timer. Now, of course, this was not an old-timer, far from it, but the phaser was a bit like the hammer… it could be used for just about anything. Including defending herself if need be.

She nodded to everyone to get on the pad and be ready, when they were, she tapped her comm badge once more. “Batenburg to Corbin. We are ready, I suggest the aliens indicate the best place to beam to.”

“They call themselves: Eirians, they guide, we follow. The coordinates have been sent to transporter room 1. Energise!” Corbin ordered.

Within moments, the Arawyn shimmered out of view, and they reappeared on board the Eirian ship. Here too were the pulses that were visible on the outside of the ship. The room appeared to similar to a transporter room, and 4 of the aliens had also materialised. Suzanna turned to them, “I am Commander Suzanna Batenburg,” she slowed her speech down, so the UT would have at least a chance to try and translate. “You guide… we follow...”

“Suzanna,” the Eirian she had melded with repeated, pointing to herself, “Elaera,” she kept pointing to the other three aliens,” Kaet…, …Serel…, …Myrren…”

Suzanna pointed to Quin, “Science, Myra Quin,” and she continued down the people, “Ensign Ryan Collingway, Engineering, Lieutenant Junior Oliver Jung, Operations. They each lead a team of their people to help you…. You guide; we follow…. “

“Suzanna, come to…. Bridge,” Elaera stated and gestured.

The half Vulcan nodded, and looked to the Starfleet crew, “you heard the Captain, they guide we follow. If any issue, contact me. Let’s go fix up this ship and figure out where they came from, and how to get them back.”

<< - Pick an alien and let's have some fun :D - >>
