Not speaking to anyone specific, but glancing at the CO before looking to T'Kol, "The Chielf Enlisted Advisor is correct. According to status indicators, There is one shuttle already warmed up for launch and another standing by, ready for a pilot, It is fairly standard to have a shuttle at least standing by during dangerous EVA activity. If this turns out to be small ships, the shuttles wound give us a tactical edge in keeping our teams safer. I only point out two things. The first is that is seems odd that whoever did this doesn't appear to be taking advantage of it, nor did they finish the job."
She looked to Talion as she said this and he spun in his chair, standing as she completed her first point, and he then began, "The second point would be that the more shuttles we deploy, the longer and more complicated it is to bring them back in if a responding fleet shows up. Too strong of a show of force invites a strong response. The ideal choice might be a craft that can hold all of the teams and is equipped with transporter capability, only deploying a security team with engineers at first. The other security and Medical would stand by as backup, once we know more about what we're dealing with. I curretly have no life signs, and with that ship reading as unstable, I would hesitate to put more people in harms way than we need to while going in a bit blind."
Cindy looked down and cleared her throat before clarifying, "Unfortunately, we don't have any such craft. According to the manifest, I saw no support craft with transporter capability."
Alex looked stunned, "None?"
Cindy gave a tiny shake of her head, "No drop ships, sir. The Danube fell out of favor and was rarely used anymore."
Talion took a deep breath and acyually looked angry for a moment before looking to the CO, "Well, it appears that we are technically unable to even perform repairs on ourselves safely, so I guess having a safety craft is no longer an option, may the Fates spare us all from the beurocrats on high."
Cindy maintained her military bearing and with hands at parade rest, she restated, "We are prepared to provide light escort during the rescue, if that's what you wish, sir. I'm sure that Tactical has pilots on standby for such occasions."

== I can't believe we no longer ave drop ship capability for a ship of our size. To support EVA repairs, you should have an emergency observer in case anything goes wrong. Hey, it's space, what could possibly go wrong. We're probably fine...right? ==
