On the move...

Mission: The Zaj
Location: USS Chuck Norris
Timeline: Current

“Intermeezo to the Chuck Norris. Red alert. All hands return to the ship immediately. I’m on my way.”

K'ner dropped the weights off to the side and secured them so they wouldn't go rolling around. She could hear the others on her squad doing the same thing, all the loud boisterousness and hard-nosed camaraderie immediately cut off.

As one, the squad moved with an urgent purpose, only having to move a short distance into their combination gear/locker room. Not much space was usually afforded the combat teams but they made do. This wasn't a pleasure cruise.

Gearing up was smooth from lots and lots of practice, much of it under critical task-loading, so when the sensitives among them felt the ship shift, they were ready to deploy, however and wherever they were needed.

They would have the initial offensive, if called for, with Beta squad holding the fort on this rotation, so they double-checked each other's combat suits, and then settled down to wait... They never knew if, or when, they could be engaged, SF officers were quite adept at diplomatic solutions. K'ner was confident in her squad's role as the hammer they would bring down if those didn't pan out as hoped.

Watching her forearm padd, she reviewed data streaming in on the incoming ships... Probable capabilities... strengths, weaknesses, force numbers, etc... They quickly passed word amongst the team on the contingencies...

At a lull, she flicked a message off to the CMO to contact her if casualties became severe and they needed assist from any of the combat medics.
