~Shuttle~

Ensign Barot hit space running as she went to full impulse moving away from the ship in a straight trajectory for awhile to lessen the likelihood of it looking like a support craft came from the Peel to any outsiders. When she was far enough away Sam banked the type nine shuttle hard to port to fly to the coordinates given her by the Science Officer.

Sam decided to stay at full impulse, while keeping a close watch of her screens to make sure she didn't attract any unwanted attention from the locals, until the last possible moment before throttling back to one quarter impulse before entering the planet's atmosphere. Her plan was to land, pickup her passengers then haul ass back into space and back to the Peel before anyone was any the wiser; at least that was her plan.

Watching her navigational screens Sam cut back to one quarter impulse just before entering the atmosphere when she felt the shuttle shake a little "Guess I waited a little too long to cut my speed" she thought with a smirk "Ok baby, let's find the ladies" as the landing coordinates became closer and closer. Seeing three people waiting she landed the shuttle softly on the surface.

Once settled on the surface Sam grabbed her phaser by her pilot's seat and ran to the aft part of the shuttle then opened the back hatch. Yesrin was the first to board as she stated with a smile "Boy am I......" but Sam cut her off "You can tell me when we get back in space but right now grab a seat and strap yourself in" saying it loud enough for the others to hear. Moments later Sam secured the hatch before running back to the pilot's seat.

"Ok ladies make sure you're strapped in and hang on to your panties.....we're leaving hot" she explained while bring the engines back to life. Lifting off the surface she put the shuttle into a steep incline while going to one quarter impulse. Minutes later they entered space and Sam proceeded to full impulse heading straight for the Peel.

Yesrin unbuckled and walked up behind the pilot's seat "You're really good flying this thing and I'm very glad to have you be the one getting off that wretched planet" she stated as a smile came across her face.

"No problem sister I'm just glad you asked me to be on standby so I could get to you so quickly" Sam replied "And thanks but I've been flying since I was a teenager so this is really nothing."

"Yes so am I.....I was afraid we'd be discovered while waiting for the extraction" Yesrin commented.

~Peel~

Sitting at the conn O'Connell looked to Science and Tactical "Lieutenant Sayvek, let me know when the shuttle leaves the surface. Tactical keep an eye out for any unwanted guests" came the orders.

"Aye Captain" Tactical responded.

" Scanning indications negative...belay that there is movement which could be our shuttle." Sayvek replied.

“Keep a close eye on them Lieutenant” Shauna added as she looked towards Sayvek.

" Aye sir." Sayvek replied.

Sitting, not so patiently, O'Connell turned to Shauna "Number One I hope the shuttle gets back soon so we can get the bloody hell out of here before we get into any sort of confrontation with the General" he stated starting to run out of patience with this particular mission.

“Agreed Sir” Shauna nodded. “Fingers crossed we get out of here soon.”

Moments later "Oh crap.....looks like we've picked up a tail.....and they're powering up their weapons....this isn't good" Sam explained knowing they were still a ways away from the safety of the ship.

Overhearing the conversation Maria rose and walked fore "Maybe I can help since I'm the Chief Tactical Officer" Maria offered with a smile.

Looking up at Maria "Hell yes you can help....sit yourself down and grab the tactical screens that way I can concentrate on flying this thing" Sam replied being very happy for an extra pair of hands.

Maria sat and looked at the tactical controls "I'm raising shields now and bring your weapons online now."

"Good.....keep our guest at bay.....we're about ten minutes out from the Peel at full impulse but I don't dare go to warp, I'm afraid we'll blow right by the ship if I do" Sam stated ready for some fancy piloting if need be.

Watching the Tactical Screens "They're firing....evasive maneuvers" Maria called out as Sam banked hard to starboard. "Ensign bring us around, I think I can kick out their phaser array with our phasers."

"You got it sister" Sam replied with a grin.

Maria went to work "Locked on target.....firing" and moments later "Ship neutralized. Get us back to the Peel pronto" Maria stated still watching her screens. About five minutes later "Sam we've picked up another tail."

Checking her screen "We're about three minutes away from the Peel" Sam replied before opening communications "Shuttle Chief, Ensign Barot, we have an uninvited guest following on our tail so I'm coming in hot in about two minutes."

"Understood....we'll be ready and I'll notify Command" the Chief replied already having his partner letting the Bridge know what was happening.

Staying at full impulse Sam lined the Shuttle up with the Flight Deck "Hold on everyone.....this could get bumpy." Waiting until the last possible second Sam cut the impulse engines and hit the reverse thrusters as the craft entered the Bay. Suddenly the Shuttle halted as Sam set it on the deck. Turning in her seat "Everyone alright?"

Yesrin had a big grin "That was some awesome piloting Ensign....my hats off to you for getting us back safely" as she let out a sigh of relief knowing that wretched planet was now behind her.
