<em> "As for the mission, I have to ask... would you prefer to go? If so, report to the transporter room. You'll probably find a lot more to do down there than up here for the time being. If not, then perhaps you could assist with our Klingon representative? Either meet up with Chief P'Trell for advice on what precautions we should take, or meet up with the Klingon directly and personally gauge her... stability. I look forward to seeing what you decide Commander."</em><br/><br/>Xander continued to consider the planet below.  The sensor scan's showed it to be a dead world and realistically it should be a relatively safe mission.  Besides he was more up to speed on the status of getting the ship fixed, and his combat experience would be invaluable if a situation arose.  "I believe you are likely better briefed on the intelligence analysis of the away mission to the planet, and I'm fully aware of the repairs to the ship.  So I think it's probably best if you lead the away mission and I will continue directing repairs to the ship."  Walking over to the desk and pressing a few buttons on the console Xander sighed and shook his head as the record for the Klingon exchange officer appeared on the screen.  The exchange officer had not been much use to the crew, and spent more time storming about the ship protesting the conditions she lived in than she did doing her assigned duties.  Xander had voiced his concern and disapproval with the choice, but his objections had been dismissed.  "I am not sure how we are going to be able to bring D'Sira into the fold with the rest of the crew, especially considering what is going on, but I will do what I can Captain.  We will monitor your situation from here."  With that, Xander excused himself from the ready room with a slight nod of his head.<br/><br/>"Lieutenant Cassidy, enhance the ships sensors to max." Xander directed as he stepped back onto the bridge.  "I want the Captain and the away team to be monitored and locked the entire time they are on the planet."  Stepping over to the Ops Officer console, he reviewed a number of the readings then returned to his chair.  Pressing his comm button "Lieutenant Ayaname, report to the bridge immediately."
