{USS Chuck Norris, Bridge}

“Systems should be coming back online any second now.” Ensign Jack Keegan’s voice said calmly from the back of the bridge. A few seconds later main power hummed back to life, illuminating the bridge and bringing the consoles back online.

“Full sensor sweep!” Commander G’ginloss ordered, “Where has that bounty ship gone?”

Pibb quickly ran his hands across the tactical console, “I’ve got them sir. They’re down on the planet’s surface. Southern hemisphere; looks like desert terrain.”

G’ginloss felt his fists clench, “Can you get a transporter lock on the Captain?”

“I can,” Pibb answered, “But I won’t be able to beam him back up anytime soon. There’s a dampening field around that entire area. Any attempts to bring the Captain back onboard would be fruitless. And that’s not all sir…”

“What is it?” G’ginloss leaned forward in the command chair.

“It’s John Wyatt.” Pibb exhaled, without a hint of surprise in his voice, “Wyatt appears to be with the Captain down on the surface.”

“WYATT?!” G’ginloss growled. “I swear that man has more lives than a Targorian sabre toothed cat.” He paused for a moment, weighing up his options. “Pibb, take an away team in a shuttle. Bring the Captain back alive. I suppose Wyatt would be a bonus.”

Pibb nodded towards Doctor Hauser who had been observing the unfolding events, “You’re with me Doctor.” Pibb looked towards Steven Wright, Van Hendrix, and Kronnelti next. “You three are with me as well.”

{Shuttle Excalibur}

The shuttle, being piloted by Pibb himself, manoeuvred out of the Chuck Norris’ shuttlebay carefully and started making its way down to the planet’s surface.

“I’ll set us down approximately 3 kilometres from the Captain’s position.” The Chief Security/Tactical officer explained. “We’ll approach covertly from the south and take them by surprise.”

Several minutes later the small craft touched down on Onassis and the group armed themselves with hand phasers. “Any questions before we proceed?” Pibb turned to face his colleagues. Nobody said anything in response. “Very well,” Pibb nodded, let’s move.”
