Mishtak was going to respond when Syell did it for him, then he took charge and made additional orders and enacted his earlier suggestion, all in all he had done rather well. Mishtak had read his file as well as the files of his previous hosts and for that reason alone he was making him treat Syell as just a cadet, hoping to prevent a transgression like the one of his previous host. Mishtak realized it would probably irritate Syell, after all he had more time in service than anyone else currently on board, but Mishtak felt it necessary if for no other reason than to help the cadet the only way he knew how... The Klingon way...
Sitting back in the captain's seat Mishtak observed everything...
"Make it so Lt. Denali. Lt. Xena, I want minute by minute surface scans, I want nothing left to chance."
He also wanted to write an official report to starfleet about the breach in protocol of having the captain and XO both on an away mission together, it was against the regulations, but out here in the Delta Quadrant he doubted anyone would really care...

"Lieutenant Denali," "Could you see to it that we gather as much useful information about this planet as we can with the sensors?"
"Certainly, sir." Ryanna replied to Syell, respectfully, and with a little smile. He was currently the first officer until Hughes came back, so she thought she'd give him the respect that came with the job. Also by following orders it would be more of a learning experience. Crew does what you say and if things go wrong... You couldn't say 'I was just following orders' if you were a captain or the first officer.
"Minute by minute. Aye."
Ry also decided something else. She tapped her badge. "Denali to Astrometrics. Please coordinate with the bridge using Astrometric scanners, and take minute by minute scans of the planet." Their sensors were longer range than the 'long range sensors'. Something an engineer should have made a memo of and corrected proper.

"Scans are underway." Xena responded to Mishtak as her hands just flew across the console in front of her. Lieutenant Denali also asked Astrometrics to do the same. Xena had to admit, that was a good idea. "So far so good." Xena reported as she kept a careful eye on the readings.

"Certainly, sir. Minute by minute. Aye."
She seemed to be taking the fact that her orders were coming from a Cadet rather well, one thing Mishtak had learned from his time on this ship as well as his time in the federation is that people are capable of accepting all sorts of strange occurrences as if they were nothing, it was something he himself was still struggling with.
"Denali to Astrometrics. Please coordinate with the bridge using Astrometric scanners, and take minute by minute scans of the planet."
That should also keep some of the science offers on the ship busy, which was one way to stop them from spreading rumors around the ship, now what other departments can he load up with extra work in order to squash the ships rumor mill once and for all...
"Scans are underway. So far so good."
He still had a bad feeling about this away mission and was not entirely sure why, but as long as everyone was using the entirety of the ship's resources to ensure it was a safe mission, he was sure he'd be able to relax a little bit... hopefully...

"Sirs." Ryanna said slightly nervous. "The shuttle," She turned in her seat to look at the crew. "it's gone. Just disappeared from sensors. The planets atmosphere might have something to do with it. Though I'm not exactly sure what. I can't get a clear reading." Ry announced as she turned back in her chair to continue trying to get something.

Xena tapped the console more. "Wait." She said with concern. She tapped away a few more times. Then Lieutenant Denali made the announcement. "Scanning for bio signs." Xena figured it the best way to go since they could not pick up the shuttle. She made three different, and separate attempts. She shook her head. "I can't get a read. Not even the combadges." A few more taps. "Now scanning for any debris." Nothing!

"See you later Lt. Krax, have a good shift."
Zephelor looked and replied "Thank you, and you have yourself a well deserved break".
Zephelor started to look over the console in front of him to make sure all ship systems were still fully functional... everything seemed to be in working order. He then turned his head and listened in to what was going on on the bridge.

"Sirs. The shuttle, it's gone. Just disappeared from sensors. The planets atmosphere might have something to do with it. Though I'm not exactly sure what. I can't get a clear reading."
"What?" said Syell, confounded by the sudden disappearance of the shuttle. Then more bad news: Lieutenant Xena didn't read anything, not even their commbadges. "They can't just have vanished into thin air..." He made a futile attempt to contact them. "Syell to Away Team," he said. "Away Team, come in." Nothing.
"Mr Krax," he said. "Can you boost power to the sensors? Is there a way we could penetrate whatever is happening in the atmosphere?"

"Mr. Krax," he said. "Can you boost power to the sensors? Is there a way we could penetrate whatever is happening in the atmosphere?"
Zephelor responded "I can try and re-route power from all non essential systems, that should give the sensors a boost of at least 40%, anything more and we risk damaging the sensor relays".
He quickly pressed the necessary buttons and transferred the power to the sensors and added "Try them now".

"No effect." Xena reported about the modifications to the sensors. If this was not difficult already. "I am reading a storm though." Xena worked at the station a little more. "It's very possible that they might have gotten blown off course and crash landed. Actually that is the only possible explanation I can give you. Especially since I still can't locate their bios signs or the shuttle. Heck, I can't even pick up the shuttles trail!"

As things started to settle the announcement that the shuttle was gone was made, then came suggestions on how to find it, only a storm, no shuttle, no life signs and no combadges...
He had ordered the transporter room to keep a constant lock on them before they left, he tapped his combadge...
"Transporter room, tell me you beamed them aboard."
//"Negative sir, we lost contact to quickly to get a lock."//
...And now he knew why he had been having such a bad feeling about sending the commanding officers down together. If they were truly lost, then he would need to make some quick decisions on how to proceed...
He looked around the bridge and made the first of many hard decisions in the absence of the captain and first officer...
He tapped his com badge "Bridge to All senior officers, department heads and acting department heads..."
now for the tough announcement...
"As Second Officer I now assume full command of the Orion, Mr. Reinhardt is now First Officer, Cadet Syell will remain First Officer in training. Lt. Xena, you are now chief of security and tactical as well as second officer. Ensign Harper is once again Chief of Engineering with Ensign Kortigs her deputy. All other departments will remain unaffected at this time..."
He cut the com badge off and looked at the officers present on the bridge.
"Some of you may disagree with me, but I expect that we will not be discussing these matters until we exhaust every resource we have attempting to locate the away team. As a Klingon I would simply leave them behind as empty shells, but as I have observed with most other species, it is customary to hold ceremonies honoring the deceased with their bodies present. As we have no bodies I have no reason to write them off just yet. I want sensors boosted to max, i don';t care what it takes or how much damage we must endure I want that away team located. We will not, under any circumstance, leave this sector without them, do I make myself clear?"
He had no idea how the crew would react, for all they knew they had just lost the two senior most officers, some junior officers, a couple of cadets and one crewman. He hoped thy would be the starfleet officers he expected them to be and follow his orders to the letter until the away team was either retrieved safely or their bodies were laid to rest properly, by Terran terms.

"I want sensors boosted to max, i don';t care what it takes or how much damage we must endure I want that away team located."
Zephelor looked at the now Commanding Officer and listened to him as he spoke, once finished, Zephelor added as he tapped a few more buttons "I've boosted the sensors to 115%, that's all we ha..." moments into his declaration the console behind him exploded throwing Zephelor forward making him hit his head on the console in front of him.
Getting up he said "I was worried this may happen..." he looked on his console to make sure and added "we blew the relays, it will be at least an hour before we can get sensors back online". With that Zephelor got to work, he knew that they needed those sensors back online pronto.
Looking over the extent of the damage, Zephelor was relieved to see that the relays were still intact for the most part, but when he came upon the secondary relays he realized that they had been fused in the explosion. Stating "Sir, looks like secondaries are out of the question, it's seems that they were fused in the explosion". Once done his report, he noticed a few spots of blood on his console, touching his head he felt a small cut on his forehead. Nothing to be worried about, he thought to himself as his little friend would be able to take care of that.

"I've boosted the sensors to 115%, that's all we ha..."
An explosion sent the man speaking into the console, his head was bleeding...
'I had hoped that would not have happened...' he thought to himself...
"I was worried this may happen..."
"we blew the relays, it will be at least an hour before we can get sensors back on line."
"An hour, I don't know if the away team has a minute let alone an hour, do what you can to get them back as soon as possible..."
"Sir, looks like secondaries are out of the question, it's seems that they were fused in the explosion."
"...and have that injury looked at, I don't want to lose anyone else."
It was apparent that his orders to spare nothing had been taken literally, he had hoped the crew would exercise more caution but it seems they too wanted to locate the away team quickly, a commendable attempt.
He tapped his combadge.
"Mishtak to engineering, I need the sensor relays repaired immediately. And see if you can't boost their range and power as much as possible as safely as possible."
He felt responsible for Krax's injury as it had been him who ordered them to attempt unsafe levels of operation. He sat back in the command chair and sighed heavily. He could not risk endangering the crew any farther, he counted Commander Hughes as a friend and was unwilling to write him off as dead. The captain was another matter, he still wasn't sure he liked her yet. Either way he wanted the entire away team back in one piece as soon as possible.
'There has to be something more we can do.' He thought, but he was not sure what else they could do from here, unless...
"Helm, coordinate with Ops and Tactical as well as Engineering, as soon as the sensors are back up I want to run a full spectrum scan of the atmosphere. I also want to get as close as possible, see if we can't collect some atmospheric samples to study, in case there may be a clue as to what happened. Tactical, I want a full report on shield harmonics and atmospheric densities. Determine what polarization would be needed for us to take the Orion into that atmosphere safely to conduct a rescue mission. If the relays will take an hour to repair then you all have two hours to get me all the reports... Larkin, you have the bridge."
He then exited the bridge and entered the captain's ready room. He needed a few minuted to think clearly, and now he had two hours...

So many things happened so quickly no one was prepared for what had happened. The Captain, and the Commander lost...no. That was not true, it can't be true. Krax tried to give everyone more power and it back fired, he was no injured, he was now second officer dear lord how things escalated so quickly. Then he Mishtak said it, Larkin you have the Bridge. It had been more than a year since he sat in that chair. Well the bigger the gamble the better the pay off.
"All stations I want to be updated every five minutes. Lets go people, time to shine brighter than the sun! We have members of the ship that need to come back home. No one gets left behind. Amendment, give all updates to Cadet Syell. Cadet Syell, trial by fire. You have the bridge." Larkin said as he took the Captains chair. and almost instantly got up as he concluded and made his way to the ready room.

No way was this happening! It was like dominoes or a house of cards. One by one things came tumbling down. The crew, ship. So much. A change in command as well. And if things weren't bad enough; all the reports she was getting from other officers to her station... Needless to say things looked quite grim.
At least the view screen was still functional. With a horrid instinct Xena turned it on. A ship. Crap! The Orion shook from fire from the other ship. She tapped her badge. "Xena to Mishtak, report to the bridge. We're under attack." Hector, if you are alive I'll kill you if we ever get you back!
