Back to base? (all)

[Lieutenant K'Pau]

Lieutenant K'Pau stood at the edge of the shuttleport, awaiting the return of the cadets. She thought Starfleet's decision in this matter to be foolhardy and overly reactionary, but she wouldn't question it. She knew that it had come from people with far more pips on their collar than she. Perhaps she was just unable to see the logic in the decision.

If Vulcans frowned, then K'Pau would have been doing it then. The cadets seemed to be taking forever to appear. Didn't they know the gravity of the situation? Didn't they know that in a situation like this, it was most logical to expect and prepare for the most likely scenario... which in this case, meant something wrong?

A group of cadets ran around the corner and K'Pau nodded ever so slightly. Much better.

"Embark shuttle A. Do not tarry. You will receive information once you are aboard." The cadets, faces nervous, nodded and boarded the vessel. Another group ran in, followed by a third, and K'Pau directed them to shuttle A also. The shuttle full, it took off into the sky, already carrying the cadets to their destination. Time, after all, was of the essence.

K'Pau looked over at the entrance again, waiting for the rest of the cadets to arrive.

OOC: You can assume K'Pau tells all of you to board shuttle B when you arrive.

[Cadet Quentin Radley]

Quentin came up to the landing pad, glanced at the Vulcan, who was staring dispassionately back. He squirmed uncomfortably. Vulcans made him nervous, without exception. She curtly ordered them to geta board shuttle B.

He climbed in without comment, mutely wondering what in the world was going on...the trip had barely started, and they were leaving again...

[Cadet Uli Elyse]

Elyse followed her team back to the base trying to guess at why they were called back. Did something happen to Est? Was there group so slow to the first target that they failed? Were her words somehow heard over the comm signal? One over thought question after the other crossed her mind as she walked softly over the sand that suddenly turned into the floor of the shuttle bay.

Looking up she saw the commotion and realized whatever it was had been bigger than them. Which made her happy that Quentin had contacted people to mention Est was missing. Not that she was ever going to mention that. As there was no way she was giving Zaynah the pleasure of knowing that thought crossed her mind.

When told she let the thoughts of earlier in the day drift out of her head focusing on the simple letter B. Shuttle B was the one they were all assigned to, and with a run she made her way to it. Climbing in she quickly made her way to a seat in the front of the shuttle hoping she would catch some of what was going on based on the officers actions.

[Cadet Aegina Em]

Gina walked back into the shuttleport feeling a little dejected. After all, they'd not exactly gotten much done on their little mission, had they? And here they were back again, boarding a shuttle.

The Vulcan pointed her in the direction of shuttle B. Gina asked what was going on, but the woman wasn't letting anything slip out. Of course not, she was Vulcan after all.

"B it is then," she muttered ruefully to her teammates. "Off we go then."

The shuttles they were leaving on were bigger than the ones they'd come in on. Some people were already seated, but there were quite a few spare seats still. Looking around, Gina spotted some spare seats together near a couple of familiar faces. She headed over towards Quentin and Elyse and sat down, making sure to leave space for her teammates, if they were interested in joining her.

"Change of plans," she said to the others. "Any idea what's going on?"

[Cadet Liz Sur'Shess]

Liz climbed into the shuttle behind Gina and plopped herself down into the seat next to her. The shuttle was still fairly empty, but was steadily filling. Two of their fellow cadets were already there, ready and waiting. Liz sat back and filled her mind with guesses about their current position- had some unforseen catastrophe occurred that was so incredibly strange that it required all the cadets to help?

Maybe she'd get to shoot something.

Liz couldn't repress a little grin, and she turned to Gina, who was talking to the two cadets next to them. Quiet rumbles of conversation had already begun all around them- guesses and questions mostly- and Liz couldn't help overhearing some.

She was just glad everyone else was as clueless as she.

[Cadet Delphine T'Pen Xie]

Delphine was disappointed that she hadn't had a chance to check out the Martian terraforming project, but she was also curious about why Starfleet was recalling them. She'd heard that this sort of thing only ever happened when there was some emergency situation that they needed cadets for, when the regular Starfleet officers were occupied elsewhere.

She was a mix of excited and nervous about this; Delphine was always looking for a challenge, but she wondered if they were ready. They hadn't even been at the Academy for a full semester yet. She concealed both of these emotions in her typical Vulcan manner as she walked past Lieutenant K'Pau to board shuttle B.
