Welcome to Gaia! ::

Peyton would give Aurora permission to elaborate on just what was strange, and would be silent for a few moments once she had finished speaking. Just when the silence was seeming like it had dragged on too long, the Captain speaks up, "Liuetenant, gather as much data as you and your crew can on the creatures on the station. There was apparently time between when the outbreak occurred and when the distress signal was sent, so someone on the station had to have gathered information."

Mio would interrupt here, "Sir, I'd like to lodge an official complaint against the last maintenance crew that worked on the Walkurst. It was bad enough finding old and out-of-date couplings in the circuitry of the board, but the main defensive generator was offline, yet made to look like it was operational!"

Peyton's voice would get an edge to it, "Trenstil, that could have waited until the end of this conversation. However, I will have someone look into the maintenance logs for the Walkurst."

His tone would go back to normal as he adresses Aurora again, "Lieutenant, the planet below can and does support life, as well as the other planet in that binary. However, I have to order against making planetfall and possibly spreading whatever befell the station to the fragile ecology below. Is there anything else?"

"I feel like there's stuff I'm forgetting. I'm just so exausted I can't think right now " she said with a yawn. Then she groaned a bit

"Can't I sleep right here?" she asked him fuzzly as she slowly stood, her tail was drooping down behind her. Feeling safe, even a bit was enough to let her body force it's guard down. She just wanted to keel over and pass out right there on the floor. Not a wise choice, but.. one that was nice and comfie to her at the moment

"I'm authorizing you to use thise line to contact me if necessary, but at this point, I can't send any assistance," Peyton says, "Stay sharp and keep alive. Captain Peyton, out." The link cuts off.

Mio's ears had tilted down at the chastizement from Peyton, but he had some salve to that in the fact that the commanding officer seemed to take his complaint seriously.

(Anyone else think its bed time?)

((I'll be around for quite a while too. I'm just drawing my plants.))

Boda shook his head. 'Okay, she definatley was a little more than scared about what was happening here.'
Boda reached up to one of ammo pouches and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He took one out and held it in his left hand and walked up to the table with his weapon and his helmet. He put his helmet on and slung his weapon than proceeded out of the ship the same way he came in and lit his cigarette up, smoking while drinking his coffee. It felt like he had been waiting to do that the whole time since he came out of cryo.

((I'll be up for a while, but certainly a good time for characters to try and get some sleep.))

Nodding to say he understood, Mio watches Aurora leave before turaning the ship's sensors towards all the craft on the hangar deck. Maybe they had a replacement part for the engine the right size...

...but the sensor sweep would turn up nothing usable without some serious kludge-work. Damn. Growling a little in frustration, he turns his attention to the map that was being built of the station interior. Well, what the sensor's could detect. It seemed that past a depth of 120 meters into the station's interior, they were blocked, less than that in the direction of the decks below the central hub.

((Mio's holed up on the bridge figuring out his next move to repair the ship, Margo. Anyway, sleep well.))
