Sitting in the centre chair, the MARDETCOM in the XO seat, Phoenix listened as reports came in. "Beam the 3rd team back!" She ordered after it was reported that Gallia had beamed back with one lt. Carlyle.

"Someone contact ensign Derani and find out how long she needs for that shuttle repair!"

"Aye" Morgan from ops called out. [[Ensign Derani, this is Elysium. Do you have an ETA?]]

Down on earth, Miraj glanced at the shuttle. "Probably thirty minutes, ma'am. Give or take." When it became obvious that not even Gallia's genius could get the Miranda flying again, the only option was to beam it out in segments. But before that could be done, the shuttle had to be rendered safe, or it could just explode when the EPS was cut, or the engine dematerialised around the antimatter. So now she was waiting on thise systems safely draining down. It was like watching paint dry.

[[Acknowledged Ensign. We will monitor your position. We have you and the shuttle locked for beam out]]

"Understood." Miraj replied. "I'll let you know the moment I'm done."

Phoenix looked at Ops. "Keep a eye on that. And let me know the instant you are ready to beam."

"Yes Captain."

"And have all away teams who are returning to medical. I want them in quarantine for 3 hours after their return." Phoenix ordered.

"Aye, informing medical."

From her place on the bridge, Tate headed to the closest console and contacted medical to let them know she would be there shortly. She felt compelled to help there immediately, but with Alicia beaming back, she also felt an obligation to make sure she wasn't needed on the bridge. It would be unprofessional for her to simply walk off the bridge, no matter how much her healer's heart was driven to it.

Lia stepped out of the shuttle, =^="Holmes to Lalor, we have a casualty. Ensign Lokaa has been affected by what ever that is in the moon's surface, we didn't get to close so it's still sitting there"=^=.

[[Commander Holmes, welcome back. Get your crew to quarantine and make sure medical checks you all out carefully. As for the item on the surface of the moon, suggestions?]]

=^="Roger that Captain, as for the object. Personally I'd blow the damn thing up, but time line pollution would negate any good that would do. So I suggest we get a tractor beam on it and pull the bloody thing into the sun or a black hole"=^=. Lia made a mental note about quarantine, but she really wanted to get back into the action.

[[Good Idea Lia. We will do just that.]] Came the captains reply.

Sapphire frowned at the console. "Captain.. Ensign Derani has gone off comms. Trying to reach her now."

"Keep trying, and beam everyone else back and get a lock on that shuttle!"

"Aye."Sapphire hit the recall button. "Away team 3 is back, heading to medical for quarantine. Away team 4 is beaming in now. Sending them to quarantine."

Neri kept an eye on their station keeping. "Captain, if we plot it well enough, we can get back behind the moon before nightfall hits the position we are in orbit over. We have 2 hours until then."

"Acknowledged Ensign. Thank you." Phoenix turned. "I want Science on our way home now. Every science officer not in quarantine get to the labs."

"Aye!" the order went out.

From the Operations department, Lt. Gregory called the bridge. "Bridge. This Lt. Gregory in Operations. Just wanted to let you know that the power distribution grid is green across the board. You have all the power you need."

"Thank you Mr Gregory." Phoenix said. She looked at the view screen. Things got better in one aspect and worse in another.
