Search and Rescue

Out of deference to his compatriot, the heavily scarred Dog pulled out the keyboard so she could see him entering his assumptions. “We have their landing site and a decent topographical understanding of the surrounding area. A fully loaded earth pony can travel at a sustained pace of about 11 kilometers per hour. Adjusting based on terrain as a function of slope, we get something like this.” As he entered his parameters the computer filled out a rough circle. “They should be in this area, actually significantly inside unless they traveled far longer each day than I expected. We can further narrow it down since we knew they were headed towards the apparent ceremony.” He cropped the area into something that roughly pointed towards the ziggurat they were aimed at. “Plus, the major area where caves could be expected would be this range right” He dropped a targeting reticle onto the screen “here.”

"By the time we get to any caves, they'll have moved on. It'd be best for us to keep on the run. If we stop, anything could happen," she said, then trotted towards the bow of the shuttle.

Search and Rescue

Rose entered behind the diamond dog and stood next to him. “Celestia knows how far they’ve gotten. We won’t be able to reach them before dusk.”

The rest of the small team filed into the craft. The door closes and a loud hiss is heard as the hanger slowly depressurized. The pilot receives the clear, and the vessels surges out of the hangar along the same path it took earlier that day.

The Ghost monitored the course and conditions outside through his implants out of habit, checking his weapons and patting his belt and backpack out of habit and to ensure everything he had packed remained secure. “It shouldn’t take too long.” He sat calmly, eyes closed as he planned and prepared for the ordeal ahead

"It's impossible to tell," Rose replied, toying with her eye. "They could be five hundred meters away from where they landed or five thousand."

He nodded. “Once we get closer we should be able to contact them. The interference is likely much less near the surface.” He entered the landing shuttle, sitting at the rear command station and checking readiness states on the various systems

He tilted his head at his fellow crew member. “I would not have to hit a mare. Shooting is not hitting.” He casually adjusted his slung weapon, his eyes never leaving hers. “I would rather not though. It would be much simpler if I left your field of expertise to you, and you left my field to me.”

"Good to know you're not as feral as the others," she said, turning to the ship. "I doubt they've reached the source by now. They're probably trying to stay warm in a cave. We should search for those first."

The Ghost approached the party. “As far as that goes, I should come. I can’t do much with the communications; as far as your department has been able to tell, the problem is massive interference, not the equipment up here. As that’s not my field, my… other talents will be more useful with you.” He has his personal firearm slung across his chest and a backpack on, bulging in odd places with several grenades dangling from him. “The ship’s set up to provide emergency air support as well. On my acting authority, fighter wings are at higher readiness and” he grinned slightly “the main batteries are prepared to provide emergency air support if absolutely necessary.”

“Fantastic,” Rose said with a smile. “The rest of you are the only ones who will need the emergency support to survive. I got it all here,” she said, motioning to her horn.

He simply nodded and donned his communicator, plugging it into his implants. “My preparations are complete. When will we depart?” He rolled his shoulders, settling his bag more comfortably on his shoulders and ensuring nothing clanked to give his position away. His eyes were more slitted than usual as he prepared himself to return to his role from older times. “Also; in combat, I command, understood?” He looked at Rose Wave, knowing the others would follow her lead in this.

"Less than an hour," Rose said. "Although, if I were to not do what you say, what would you do? You wouldn't dare hit a mare, right?" she asked, batting her eyelashes at him.

“Standard policy dictates that we carry at least one emergency kit. There’s enough rations for a few days. I took extras just in case.” One of the ponies explained, he a is young fresh recruit

“Good. We may need more. Celestia knows how far they’ve gone,” she replied. “Check your weapons and make sure you have more than enough ammunition. There’s no telling what we’ll find down there.”

The team was prepared similarly to Rose Wave, and walked out of the bridge to the main hangar on the other side of the ship

“We’ll need resources to get us through whatever’s down there until we find the others,” Rose said. “Is there anything that can pull us through the nights we’ll spend down there?”

Some of the lesser crew members volunteer to join her, including the same pilot. In order to keep a low profile, the team will have to search on the ground

“Fantastic. Lead the way,” she said to the pilot with a small grin.

Rose asked the other crew members if they had prepared their weapons and equipment for the journey down.

Rose teleported back to her chambers and gathered her portable equipment, preparing her weapons and comm tech for a trip to the surface. She fastened her PCA-413 to her helmet and set the firing rate to semi-automatic, and did the same with her SMG. The maroon unicorn also briefly calibrated her eye, making sure she’d be able to see through the night. After she gathered the necessary things for a trip down to the planet’s surface, Rose teleported back to the bridge.

“I’m going down there to find them,” she said confidently. “Alone if I must.”

Connection Restored... Assessing Situation ((We're Back!))

A massive solar flare had ravaged the star system. The ship’s shields protected its crew; however, the massive influx of energy blew out the main power supply. After working for several long hours, the Storm Generators were running again and the communications crew immediately tried to contact the ground team to no avail.

________________________________________

The planet’s magnetic field was large enough to push the flare away. However, the radio back to the ship wasn’t so fortunate. The team, comprised of Captain Volt, Saving Throw, and Sunlit Moor, was now stranded with no connection to the rest of the crew. Night had already fallen, and the three of them had made a makeshift camp inside a small, uninhabited cave.

The scout team passed over the top of the mountain, and saw before them the first alien city ever seen. In the center of the city was a massive ziggurat that towed above the city, with the rest of the metropolis spreading in an orderly grid around it. The residents of the city were reptilian,...

Rose taps a hoof on the terminal in thought, soon coming up with a suggestion.

"We can't reach it from orbit.. We would need a team to head to the surface to hunt for the source.." she says, thinking aloud. She turns around, facing the other ponies on the bridge.

"Does anypony want to help me gather a team to head to the surface? We can meet with the others," she says, looking around.

Rose has fallen asleep at her terminal on the bridge, and flails as the beeps come through her headset.

"Dear Celestia, that scared me.." she says, sitting back upright and tending to the station. She plays back the reply, trying to translate the various beeps into Equestrian.

Official orders:

Captain Stratus has requested that attempts be made to make contact with the sentient life forms on the planet below.

"Sentient life forms. Right," Rose says, sending out a hail to the surface of the planet, hoping for a response. She walks over to the station next to her bunk and turns it off standby, sending a signal down.

"X-35, this is a hail coming from an Equestria-class vessel in orbit above this planet. We mean no harm; we would just love a response from you intelligent, lovely beings. Over."

Rose says this with a slight hint of sarcasm in her voice, and re-establishes the response to be received at the bridge. She then heads out of her chambers, on her way to the communications terminal stationed at the bridge of the ship.

He skimmed it quickly,”What happened to your eye? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“Combat. The damage was permanent, so I decided to have it removed and a biomechanical one put in its place,” she replied.

“Pity” Some of the other medics and doctors take Saving’s things, he decides he can drop the rest off at his office later.

"I'm sure the crew will think something of it," she said.

“From what I’ve heard,” Saving Throw presented his ID to the armed guards who opened the ship door,”So, tell me about yourself.”

Rose finished tinkering with her eye, and popped it back in its socket. She levitated a datapad in front of the stallion, showing her profile. “I’m not much of a talker.”

Sunlit Moor hangs out in the docking bay, near the ship he was just assigned to. He doesn’t know much about ships, but he gets the feeling that this is a good one.

The door opens, and Saving Throw walks in with a saddle bag, levitating a…

Rose nods, looking at Saving with her biological eye, the other a void. “You assume correctly.”

“I’m Saving Throw.” he said smiling
