< The Veritas Site >

Commander Ian Erwin had assumed the center seat the moment he was contacted by Captain Kingston to do so. While the ten other survivors took their positions at their station.

" We await your signal Captain" Erwin forwarded.

From above the downed ship Captain Erwin circled the site prepping the ship for the ride of its life.

[ Wacamaw to Starbase M-69 prepare the tether.]

From Starbase M-69 Ensign Uno had assisted Kingston in prepping the tether for the raising of the Veritas. Using the Wacamaw as its tug the Veritas was quickly brought up and out of the planets atmosphere and pulled into a mooring position at the station as the Wacamaw guided it into dock.

[ Wacamaw to Veritas crew. You will find billoted quarters on the station while I make repairs to the ships nacelles..] Kingston instructed.

The crew on the bridge smiled as they had been down on that planet a long time.
" Mates you will have access to a real sonic shower." Ian snickered .

< Promenade >

The strangers exited their ship trusting that Captain Kingston would be successful in making the repairs. As the station was not totally stocked given their recent arrival to the Lagoon they did spot an automated canting of sorts.

< Repair bay 6>

Kingston had automated his repair bay with both Cybrid and up to date Tellarite equipment. One of which was a engineer of Tellarite birth that seemed to boar through all his repairs with grunts and gasps.

" What the hell did they do to this thing?" grunted the Tellarite.
" Only passed through a temporal eddy to arrive here." Kingston replied.
" Well that was stupid to do. " he replied.

" Our job is to make the repairs Chief." Kingston replied.
" I can repair the mangled nacelles no problem but what next? "
" We will leave that up to command." Kingston then added.
