Meanwhile, back on TKR-117

[Hannah McDowell 0]

Hannah sat at the comm station chewing on her fingernails with worry. She had been trying to hail Aegis for several hours but with no success. Asgar and several other colonists sat around the comm station with Hannah, their faces reflecting her worry. Something was going on with Aegis.

 

Over the last couple of hours the colonist's sensors in orbit around TKR-117 had detected faint blips of what appeared to be multiple ships around Aegis. Colony sensors were not long range nor were they the caliber of Aegis sensors, but they did pick up something. A long range sensor system was on the colony's wishlist of things to eventually have.

 

Still, what their sensors had detected was enough to worry them. The latest scans revealed that several explosions had taken place. That combined with the lack of response to hails had set the colony to worrying about all kinds of possibilities. Luckily, the latest scans also did not detect any more ships near Aegis or near the colony.

 

Hannah had half a mind to jump in the shuttle and high tail it to Aegis to see what was going on. If only they would answer damn it!!

 

She would give it one more hour. If they hadn't heard from Aegis by then, she would send a subspace message to earth and then take the shuttle to Aegis and find out what had happened. If Aegis was destroyed, she would then send an emergency transmission to Starfleet to let them know what had happened and to request removal from TKR-117. If Aegis couldn't withstand whatever had happened, there was no way the colony could and they were in danger.

 

 

Yes, that's what she would do. One more hour and then...........
