Samuel stepped into the Transporter Room, carrying a Phaser on his right hip and a Tricorder on his left.  Yes, he was a soldier, and a leader, not a scientist, but you never knew when the need for a spare might arise.  After all, Samuel had taken the same basic science courses that every Starfleet Academy student had to take in the course of their academic career.  He noted the presence of th-Zarth, Lugus, Tosh, and the new EEH experimental program.  "Alright, I believe that everyone is here."<br/><br/>He turned to the Chief of Security.  "Lt. Tosh, the compression rifle, if you would."  Once he had it, he indicated the transport platform.  "Everyone on.  Tosh, me, and Lugus up front.  Everyone else in back.  Stay frosty.  The planet is supposed to be uninhabited, but we're in gray territory.  No one moves alone.  You find a strange reading, you call one of us."  He turned to the other two rifle carriers in the room.  "Lt. Tosh, in the event of my incapacitation, you are in command."  He then spoke to Lugus.  "Lt. Lugus...you're the scientist out of the three of us.  You have scientific command of the mission."<br/><br/>He looked at the pair of Lts.  "Any questions?"
