“Going Down” (Cont’d from Rahul’s “Docking and Going") Location: SS ANTONINE Scene; Cockpit Stardate: 2.70214.1025 Xana Bonviva settled uncomfortably in her seat, Eilean sat next to her the Xenexian chief of security looking calm and in control the Bolian ambassador for Earth admired her silently and imagined how frazzled she looked, her fears where alleviated slightly when she glanced over the shuttle at her husband who grinned at her. She gave him a small smile back and then went back to feeling uncomfortable. Gene was leading the away team partly because Kat was pregnant partly because he’d drawn the short straw and had a reputation for being slightly more diplomatic than his superior officer. The half bajoran sighed and rubbed at his nose ridge. Gene watched his wife fidget and allowd himself another small smile, he’d persuaded her to leave their daughter in Kat’s very capable hands on the ship until they where sure that this planet was as safe as they had been led to believe, his attention was destracted from his wife by Hannibal who was sat next to him fidgeting almost as badly, the large security chief had been banned from bringing any weapons but he was almost as good as a klingon at hiding them about his person. Hannibal nodded at his XO when he realised his attention was on him but offered no words of explanation to his discomfort. Putting it down to him being unarmed Gene glanced at the young doctor he was holding a medi-kit and looking eagerly around him. He smiled slightly and then glanced into the cockpit at the other two members of the away team, Neos Velsu was settled into the co-pilots chair next to him Nick Cannon was deftly piloting the shuttle craft. “we’re about to hit atmosphere.” The pilot and ops officer spoke up. “you might all want to hold on.” Everyone shifted slightly to brace themselves expecting some kind of tubulance to hit them as they moved from space to the resistance of a planets atmosphere. Instead a white light slid effortlessly through the craft and those sat inside it and the shuttle seemed to glide effortlessly. “What was that?” gene snapped, he stood up and moved forwards to see the white light across the viewscreen. “Some kind of sensor.” Neos answered his fingers tripping across the console in front of him. “some kind of tractor beam.” Cannon answered almost at the same time, the two looked at each other and then at their consoles. “which?” Gene demanded. “Both.” Neos answered calmly while Nick struggled with the controls of the shuttle. “I have no control over the shuttle commander.” The FCO said quietly he half glanced back at Gene’s wife. The XO took a deep breath and nodded, “OK then, let’s just relax and let them take us in.” he glanced at Nick and then smiled. “just stay alert incase anything goes wrong.” Still standing between the two chairs he glanced out the viewscreen and took a minute to watch as the clouds broke open, they where staring down into the green/blue sea of this planet, as far as the eye could see was water, a white colour was visible and was approaching fast, as he watched it changed becoming more apparent that it was some kind of structure, green and blue lines could be seen giving it almost he impression of a large block of granite. Within a few miles the changes to buildings and rivers or canals became visible, the capital city of Telleran IV was built over the sea, water was pumped around the city constantly allowing the two sentinant species to live amongst one another in a mixture of roads and waterways, buildings and tanks. “It almost looks a little like Venice.” Gene glanced over his shoulder at his wife who had joined him in the cockpit. The tall man glanced out at the strange aliens lined up around an area as the shuttle was lowered carefully to a small shuttle port he shrugged and answered, “I challenge you to find anything like those in Venice.” Xana smiled and shrugged, “a few thousand years ago people where saying the same things about us.” She sighed and stood up straighter, “our welcoming committee?” “certainly looks that way.” Gene answered, “your lead or mine?” he suddenly asked the ambassador for EARTH seriously. ** NRPG: Proper contact, anyone want to run with this?
