Jez cringed slightly when Commander Velaul said, "Lieutenant Jez I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, I think that tapping into the shuttle’s systems might yield some results, at least give us a better idea of what we are facing."
Jez had been trying desperately to connect to the shuttle's systems, but the shuttle's power was so low that she couldn’t connect, she made several attempts, but nothing seemed to be working. The way Jez saw it they had a few options. The Aquila could try a power transfer to the shuttle, but that would give the Aquila’s position away, thus making them an easy target. They could send a small two or three man away team to investigate the shuttle crash site, and retrive the shuttles logs, and investigate the area to possibly identify the person or persons who took the communications array.
Jez’s eyes went wide when Commander Velaul said, "Lieutenant Jez you are pretty perceptive, our original Ambassador is suspected of such actions. Suspected of being involved with a major crime family, they no doubt are going to attempt to tip the scales in their favor. Perhaps with an offer that she can not refuse." It was a small joke based on the circumstances, now it was getting close to dealing with the mob. I would like you to handle a class three probe to the shuttle if your first approach doesn't work, it can give us what the shuttle would be capable of."
The idea of a woman leading a coup d’etat in this situation reminded Jez of Empress Dowager Cixi, the most important woman in Chinese history. She ruled China for decades and brought a medieval empire into the modern age. At the age of sixteen, in a nationwide selection for royal consorts, Cixi was chosen as one of the emperor's numerous concubines. But the tactics of the Empress included more ruthless measures as well. Historians widely believe that Cixi was responsible for the poisoning of her own son the Emperor in 1875. Likewise, she pushed Prince Gong, the architect of the Self Strengthening Movement into semi-retirement in 1884.
“Forgive me Commander Velaul, I have been trying to connect to the shuttle's systems, but it appears that the shuttle lacks enough power to establish a link with us.I can have a Class Three Probe ready in a few minutes. I would recommend a small two or three person Away= Team to go and investigate the shuttle.” Suggested Jez. “Which would you prefer, Commander.” Added Jez.
