Niels was among the last to arrive in the transporter room, not a usual behavior from the typically punctual engineer. Given his extra loadout and the further initial distance from the transporter room than the others it made sense. A serious, intense expression was on his face as he entered. He paused briefly to take stock of the others present, then moved to a spot where he could double check his kit and the transporter enhancers.
The Chief of Security took charge, laying out plans of where they were to transport in and how each person was to act. Niels listened to the plan as he made the final checks on his equipment and got it prepared for transport. Patting his pocket, he confirmed that the isolinear chip Kalli had given him with the translation program was still in his pocket. He pulled out his tricorder and, as requested, powered it on and prepped it to scan.
There seemed to be some questions about Cardassian burial rites, specifically the viewing of corpses by non-Cardassians. If what the ensign said was true, and there were in fact fatalities in the area of the ship where they were beaming into, then the away team could be starting off on the wrong foot in an already tense situation. Given his lack of knowledge on Cardassian culture, he couldn’t give an opinion on the matter one way or the other, but he assumed that with Lieutenant Commander Kurasa’s knowledge of the Cardassian language also came a basic understanding of their culture. So, he had to trust that the landing site picked was the best option for a successful mission.
