AQ/D01 - Bridge

[Samira Khasim]

After giving some thought, Samira came to a decision. "If it's alright, Captain, Commander, I'll stay aboard the ship. If you and Talion are down there, I'll need to remain here as Acting First Officer. And I can help out to be eyes from the sky with the sensors."

She took Captain Brooks' side and settled, for the first time, onto Commander Velaul's chair. She then looked at Ensign Coppola. "A drop ship can be interesting, but the ship would have to be pretty big to drop off a smaller ship, unless we're talking about using this ship to drop off a shuttle. And we'd have to make our skimming the atmosphere look like we lost control of thrusters or something, given how many eyes there are on us."

Samira began thinking, and then looked at the other Science Officer under her. "Lieutenant Young, start the sensors running, narrow your scanning beam and get into a spiral pattern outward from the shuttle. Keep an eye out for Starfleet signatures of any kind. Especially our kind of dilithium. If anybody from the planet asks, we're conducting a random test on our sensors to check their functionality," she added, looking at Captain Brooks.

"And besides which, if we come across sensor shields or jamming areas, we'll know," she finished. Then, turning to Ensign Coppola, she said, "Mister Coppola, are you still in contact with the probe?"

==Tag Brooks, Beno, and Coppola. Samira will remain on the ship.==

==GM Input - Besides with the sensors and the probe, what can Samira do? And what will they pick up in the "random test" in the scan? And what resolutions can be expected in the results that come back?==
