=U.S.S. Lancelot=
The Lancelot had limped her way to Starbase 234, being harassed the entire way
by Romulan Scorpions. The Erassians were able to keep the brunt of the Romulan
attacks away from the Lancelot. Trent knew that he would need to learn the names
of each of those Erassian pilots. He was not use to feeling indebted to anyone, and
before this battle, he didn't think much of the Erassians.
But, these pilots had saved his ship. The Lance would live to fight another day …
after a long stay at a repair facility that is.
When the Lancelot had made it to the confines of the starbase defenses, the
Romulans had decided to pull out. When Trent looked over at the tactical station, he
finally realized that the Lance was one of the few Federation ships to survive the battle.
+tap+ "Bridge to engineering. What's the status of our transporters?" Trent inquired.
+tap+ "Twenty percent of our transporters are operational," Juan Santos answered.
"Good enough," Trent said. "Mr. Shiute, set a course for Aeran III."
"Aye, sir."
"Mr. Toonces, inform the starbase we're going to Aeran III to help with survivors."
"Aye, sir."
"There could still be a cloaked Romulan warbird sitting out there, somewhere, just
waiting for the easy kill," Lalya Jalaan said from the XO chair.
"Let's just hope there isn't," was Trent's response as the ship slowly moved toward
the planet.
He sent out orders for the medical department to be prepared to help any wounded,
even though they were probably busy with Lancelot crew injuries.
At first, on the way to Aeran III, they were able to recover a couple of escape pods
that were unable to make it to the planet. One of them was empty, while the other
had four survivors from the Oppenheimer.
"Sir, I'm detecting a couple of locations on Aeran III dense with escape pods and
survivors," the science officer said.
"Continue scanning for the stray pods. They're going to be the ones that will need our
help the most," Trent said, before standing. "Mr. Toonces, your with me. We're going
to take a team and beam down to one of those main landing sites and see if we can
help out."
