Mission: The Pak'Leth Problem
Location: Docking Port
Timeline: MD01 - 1300hrs

Melissa continued to dress into the envirosuit. "Good Lord, could they make these suits any more stuffy?" She complained as she put the gloves on. "You ready Cadet?"

Allie struggles a bit with her suit, checking every single seal as she puts it on. She had worn the EVA suits before in training, but this time it actually mattered. Fixing the helmet in place, she activates the suits power systems. "I think so, sir. Ready as I'll ever be." She grabs her tool kit and waits for the others to finish.

"There's a lot worse things than being stuck in an ee-vee suit." Ensign Nakano said, despite wearing the slightly adapted E.V. armour of a Starfleet Hazard Team. He had forgotten the limit of movement that came from the standard issue E.V. suits. In his, he might as well have been wearing a pair of jogging trousers.

"Trust me, when you go onboard a Pak'leth ship for the first time, it helps to make sure their enviromental systems still work." She noticed. "They do not repair their ships, they don't even know how." Melissa noted. "Usually the Pak'leth buy the ships no one else wants, and within a year, they're either found dead in space or in scrap yards."

"True enough, Commander." Bones noted, delighted that he wasn't going aboard the Pak'Leth ship. "I'll keep an eye on your progress from out here. If you need any help from the Station's scanners, I can provide it from the Docking Control console. I've dealt with enough Pak'Leth ships to know that they're notorious for their technical inabilities but they do know how to plant a devastating booby trap. Luckily, with the damage to their ship- you shouldn't have any such problems."

"Even so- keep behind us until we check the areas. The last thing we need is having to drag your bodies out of somewhere that could be booby trapped." Nakano ordered. He was only an ensign but in the absence of his superior, who seemed- quite unusually- to be late, he would have to make sure his colleagues didn't lose any limbs. "Make sure you only move if either ourselves or Lieutenant Dell tell you."

The cadet quickly turned to face the Hazard Team officer, a look of horror in her eyes. "Booby traps? What do they booby trap?" The fear was understandable; she knew who would be doing those repairs, and she wasn't in the mood to have her hand blown off.

"Ensign Nakano's advice is logical," V'Shan said, as he turned around the corner, already kitted up in his EV armour - and moving about with an ease that would make one believe it was the same as a regular garment. "Our primary objective should be to reach the engineering compartment," he continued seamlessly, flowing into his team briefing as he went about double-checking everybody's seals, as regulations required him to do. "From there, we should be able to access all ship-board systems."

"You'll need to do that to disengage the seals on the cargo bays. They're locked in pretty tight, from what we can tell. Override them and that will let Lieutenant Dell inspect what they have in their hold." Bones added.

Melissa spoke, "I'm going to have to insist on full level 5 decon after we get off the ship. Some of the Pak'leth we admitted last night had some nasty stuff. Some of it you don't want to get."

Nakano glanced at the doctor. He had no intention of going into decon but then again, she had two pips on him.

Lieutenant Dell slowly entered the area, looking a bit flustered. She gave a nod to Ensign Nakano as she quickly moved to start putting her own environmental suit on. "I trust the Ensign has briefed you all on the procedures?" she asked, her eyes darting between the people gathered as she was slowly making sure that the seals on the suit were still intact.

Nakano turned to the Lieutenant. "Ready, sir?"

"Indeed, Ensign," the Vulcan responded, before donning his helmet and stepping towards the hatch.
