Sending Maguire had been the logical choice, and Aeryn knew that the junior officer would do his best to obtain the answers required by Science and Medical combined. While the DH would be interested in what else they could find on top of what Robin had reported so far, and that bite, that wonder that came from a discovery, whether it was bad or good, was something she could happily live vicariously through those down in medical. Besides, it wasn't as if she hadn't experienced her fair share since their arrival at the Nebula, and there was plenty to go around.
Aeryn had also learned patience, so while they awaited an update from Medical and Maguire, Hally spoke up, providing the Captain with options based on what had been requested of the pilot. Changing her report to reflect what Tyra needed, cold, hard facts on what Artemis could achieve, particularly if they got closer to the first platform. The added accompaniment of the explosion noise brought out a small smile on the redhead's face, and even Aeryn had to admit that there was nothing as satisfying as watching something go boom, when appropriate, of course.
Mara then shared her thoughts, while also providing some further insight into the base itself from what the COS had uncovered, which tracked with the scientist's opinions about what they had found. As for her plan, it was sound because there was only so much that they could get from the scans, and the only way they were going to confirm everything for certain was to get boots on the ground and investigate. Mara's suggestion for resolution and the joke she risked to include, well, that just made Aeryn silently grin as her friend looked around the Bridge.
" I agree with Calleja, we need to find out what's going on down there, as there's only so much we can learn from the scans and other evidence that we've found. If we do send a runabout, then maybe we create some kind of distraction so it doesn't get detected?".
That was just one possible idea, as Aeryn thought about the platform, wondering if that could be the distraction that they needed, by taking it out and using the attack as cover for the runabout launch. Assuming that's what they did, because there was also Mara's suggestion of taking control of them, and at least she had voiced something to contribute.
