While the vast majority of the remaining troops and agents were still deep in the slumber of stasis he shared with her what he knew of so far.  "We got three escape pods that are registered to Cynosure drifting in space.  Two of them appear to be transporting dead passengers, while the third has a solitary life form with a slow heart beat detected."  He dipped away from the Doc and the few others that were stirring from the pods while he conversed further in relative secrecy with the Divinity Agent.  "We can't ignore this, but in light of the potential danger I'm going to keep the detachment small."<br/><br/>"Only thing I'm hesitant about is sending the Doc along, but if there is someone from Cynosure alive in that pod that is need of immediate medical assistance, I can't really afford to leave him behind."  He paused, glancing beyond her towards Sergeant West.  "The transport will be departing at 0900 hours tomorrow morning.  You're welcome to join me on the bridge and keep tabs on the missions progress if you like.  So long as everything goes smoothly we should be back on schedule by 1800 hours tomorrow evening."  Cartwright gave her a nod of his head.  "I'll be in my quarters going over everything.  You're welcome to come by if you have further questions or concerns you want to address.  If you'll excuse me though I need to talk to Doctor Kahaan before I leave."<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="18963" data-username="@TheCorsair" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/18963/">@TheCorsair</a>Once the Lieutenant had managed to satiate the curiosity of one Miss Herd, he maneuvered his way over to Doctor Kahaan while he was waiting for Butch to come fully out of her comatose slumber.  "K-Doc, shuttles departing tomorrow morning at 0900 hours.  I'll need you on board in the event that anyone will require medical attention.  Be in the cargo bay by 0830 hours.  Sergeant West will handle any last minute briefings before you and the assigned team depart."  He lingered for a moment, watching as Butch began to stir before adding.  "I'm sure I don't need to remind you about proper protocols, but if there is any contagion encountered we can't afford to bring that back to Ares 8.  Don't need our crew getting sick, or worse so make sure the rest of the team understands the proper procedures to follow."<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="18515" data-username="@BennyQ" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/18515/">@BennyQ</a>He was hardly surprised that Ruya was one of the first to jump in line and volunteer and given the nature of the assignment, the Sargent obliged.  "Excellent Corporal, I'll forward your request to the Lieutenant along with my own recommendation that you take the lead on this."  The Sarge stood firm, arms tucked behind his back as he looked squarely down upon Ruya.  "You won't need your whole team though, pick two soldiers from your task force to go along on the mission."  He fired off a brisk salute to the woman.  "Report by 0830 hours tomorrow morning in the cargo bay and be ready to go."<br/><br/>Before Corporal Ruya could turn to leave, the Sarge settled his hand on her shoulder and leaned in to speak privately to her.  "If this is some ploy by pirates, under no circumstances will you allow them to jeopardize the greater mission.  If shit hits the fan, make sure the Doc comes out of it in one piece and you get him back here safely by whatever means you need to employ."<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="41027" data-username="@MsBloom" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/41027/">@MsBloom</a>West stood steady in the midst of the awoken crew as he waited to see exactly who might step up to the plate and volunteer.  There was a subtle tilt of his head as the Security Officer for Divinity came forward, but there was no denying her credentials.  "I don't have any problems with that, in fact we could use a reliable co-pilot to work alongside Miss Brewer.  So long as your superior is fine with you being involved, I think it would personally be a good idea to have someone from Divinity present for the operation."  He inclined his head but made no effort to hide his smirk.  "Now I'm not expecting this to be a scenario that requires combat, but it'll be good to know that you'll be present just in case."<br/><br/>The Sarge shifted his gaze over towards Ruya who was getting checked over by the Doc.  "It's looking like Corporal Aras will be leading a small team, but since this is a search and rescue mission, Doctor Kahaan will be in charge of the overall operation.  You'll need to be able to follow his orders, I'm sure you're aware that there are protocols that need to strictly be followed until he's able to fully assess the situation.   Last thing we need is for anyone on this mission to contract some alien pathogen and spread it amongst the rest of the crew."<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="18141" data-username="@Xanaphia" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/18141/">@Xanaphia</a>Finally the Sarge turned to look towards Specialist Moon as she came forward to verify the signals authenticity.  There wasn't any doubt in his mind that Eris was one talented hacker, he had seen the young woman's file after all.  But there wasn't any denying that criminal background either and that just made her hard to fully put his trust behind.  So he slowly nodded his head along with her assessment only to respond once she had concluded.  "Very well Specialist Moon, since you feel confident that everything is authentic that means this should be a relatively safe mission.  Which means you can join it since you have some EVA training on record in your files."  He paused briefly to catch his breath while he gauged how eagerly she took that news in.<br/><br/>"Doctor Kahaan will be overseeing the mission personally from on board the shuttle so you'll follow his command on this.  Corporal Aras, if needed, will be leading a small detachment of our own forces, just in case you're wrong.  Everyone will be reporting at 0830 hours tomorrow morning, the shuttle is departing at 0900 hours."  A quick salute followed before Sergeant West took his leave.  "Don't be late, your dismissed Specialist Moon."<br/><br/>West took his leave from there, making his way to the jogging track to jog the stiffness and soreness out of his joints.
