Almost before the Captain finished speaking, Danica's voice came over the speakers,<span style="color: #80FF40">"I have us set up today as Tradeship <span style="font-style: italic">Penny</span>, you could ask if they want us to try to tow them out of the orbit to something more stable. I'm packing equipment to get in through the shuttle bay if..."</span>She was cut off by another voice,<span style="color: #FFFF40">"Captain, they've turned on thrusters to increase speed, the orbit is going to decay before we can do anything. Maybe this disease affected their minds, we might have to try and haul them out."</span>Then almost overlapping,<span style="color: #FF8000">"They are insane, they're firing on their own pods!" </span><br/><br/>The Captain ordered the crew,<span style="color: #40FFFF">"Shields maximum, get closer, lets see they target us. Ask them if we can help. What is the status of their shields?"</span>Maybe with insane people on board their shields would do something obliging. Before anyone could answer that question another followed, though just a name,<span style="color: #40FFFF">"Dani?" </span><br/><br/>Her voice came back on over the speakers,<span style="color: #80FF40">"What do you think I can do Captain? Keeping this old bird in the air is my job. It's not like I get opportunities to work on a new ship like that every day. Maybe if I was on the hull I could disable their ability to thrust for the planet. Maybe if I was in engineering. But I'm not, am I? And that's only maybe. If you were asking, can we get shot at by a hulking huge Starfleet ship, yes, but lets not make it for too long. If you're asking, can we shoot their shields down in time to tractor beam them... it probably depends on how insane they are. With a ship that big, if they shift power to just shielding, I don't see us getting through in time." </span>Having answered every question she could think of that might be thrown at her, she cut the speaker before heaving a huge sigh. It was ridiculous what people expected of you once they found out you could fix a thing or two. On the off chance they decided they still wanted her on the Starfleet ship, she slipped into her space suit and clipped her pack of extras to it. Ready for as much of anything as she could foresee, she jogged to meet the... security team.<br/><br/>While she did that, an attempt was made to contact the Starfleet ship. The face on the screen had the sharp cheekbones and curved ridges that proclaimed the man Enolian. His appearance fit the classically Enolian shape of the ship. It was unsurprising, since the Enolian's had many busy trade outposts and fleets of tradeships.
