Timeline: Current

:ON:
{USS Chuck Norris}

It had been hours since the Chuck Norris had lost contact with the landing parties. Communication had been severed when a scattering field had been erected soon after they had beamed onto the outpost. The source of the scattering field was unknown, but the ship was still able to see the life signs of those on the outpost.

“Any luck finding the source of that scattering field?” The Captain asked aloud, shuffling in the command chair. “I’d really like to speak to our people down there.”

An Ensign at communications looked up from her console, “Not yet, sir. Despite being able to read their life signs, there’s still no way to bring our people back up nor communicate with them. Engineering are working on a solution.”

Michael nodded, trying his best to hide his frustration. “Very well, keep me posted.”

Suddenly, static started sounding through the speakers on the bridge. Followed quickly by some garbled voices.

Michael looked towards the communication officer again, “Quickly, try and clear that up!”

“… to Chu… com… in… repeat… Lieut… ander… Odale…”

“I’m trying sir, standby.” The communications officer ran her blue Bolian fingers over her console as quickly as she could move them.”

“This is the USS Chuck Norris.” Michael announced. “Please repeat your message.”

“Lieutenant Commander Rodale to Chuck Norris.” The woman repeated.

Michael got to his feet quickly, grinning. It was hard not to be relieved to finally hear back from his XO; “Mira, it’s good to hear your voice! Report on current situation.”
