=/\= Understood. =/\=

Scott then spun around to face Adolph and Shelaf.

" We're out of time, we need to move. Power your rifle chief. "


Odd enough, even with the proverbial doomsday clock ticking quite rapidly, and even with the three of them just sitting there discussing what to do instead of acting, Adolph Klein really wasn't too nervous. Wasn't pure oxygen supposed to be a relaxant? That couldn't be it could it? Another shrug inside his EV suit went unnoticed.

Captain Bradley was telling Chief Greegy to shoot. Apparently the Chief didn't want to given his previous... appeal(?).. to him. Klein briefly wondered if he should have brought a phaser of his own. Then again he was never a good shot with one to say the least. Instead he opened his tricorder again and tried scanning the room for any sign of the door. He may as well -try- and figure a way out of this mess if no one else would do anything.

The ship mildly trembled, the motion causing him to be lightly propelled upward, which his maneuvering jets quickly compensated for. Before he could see if the tricorder's sensors could identify anything, the doorway to the room the runabout was in opened. Before he could comment or even think about why that would be he felt himself being propelled though the opening. The concept that their "guest pass" had been revoked briefly crossed him as his right arm slammed rather forcefully into the edge of the doorway, sending his entire form spinning as it was propelled into the next room.

Disorienting as the spinning in the zero-G environment was, the pain of his presumably broken arm pulsing through him, it did afford him an odd view. The captain and chief were right behind him, and the runabout wasn't where it was before. Though before he could contemplate that, he continued to be propelled out into space through the opening the runabout had originally entered the alien vessel through.

Grimacing in pain, the grabbed his injured arm with his free hand. Even through the EV suit the slight nudge hurt something fierce. He finally looked around to get his bearings. The runabout was nearby, perhaps a few kilometers away. Hopefully they were alright. It wouldn't be fun trying to fly with a broken arm, but he'd manage.

Letting out a long sigh, half in pain, half of relief, he willed himself to relax as he floated through space at a rapid enough momentum. Nothing to be done now except wait to be rescued... and curse it all, his tricorder was gone. That was annoying.

The Discovery surged forward towards the alien ship at full impulse, and a bit.

Reece was sit in the chair, nails digging into the arms. They had to reach them in time.

"Commander, something has attached itself to the runabout sir, and the power levels of the ship are almost at maximum."

Reece didn't hesitate one second, "Get a lock on all lifesigns and beam them back. Now."

Shelaf was lucky enough to be blown out of the ship without impacting any large objects. He looked around him, trying to form a concept of "up" and "down" in the endless void. "Well." He said over the comm "That was interesting. Everyone ok?" He asked, using his maneuvering thrusters to orientate himself with the others so they were all facing each other.

He could vaguely see the hull of the Discovery as it flew towards them, then saw the faint glow of the transporter beam, and the next second he was on the Discovery. He quickly pulled off the helmet and breathed deeply. He could see pain in Klein's face and helped with his helmet. "Whats up?"

Scott removed his helmet also, taking a deep breath. He was glad to be free of the claustrophobic suit. He turned to see Adolph in pain, together Scott and the Chief assisted the young crewman in removing his helmet.  Scott then tapped his suits comm system.

" What's the status of the alien ship commander? "

=/\= Captain. The alien ship is completely powered up. It doesn't look like it's interested in us. We're trying to get a lock on Armstrong. The alien still has the runabout attached by a tube. My guess is, it's going to keep it and study it. =/\=

Reece tapped away on the console, diverting power from various systems to the targeting sensors in an attempt to cut through the aliens readings.

Reece tapped away before standing and moving over to the OPS console.

=/\= I'm trying sir. It's a difficult signal to cut through...=/\=

Reece muttered to himself as his fingers darted across the LCARS interface.

=/\= I've got them. Clear the pad, they're coming home. =/\=

Reece initiated the transport.

Klein had just managed to remove the snaps of his helmet, however slowly, when the chief jumped in to take it off him. The pilot gave the nco a questioning look at the gesture.

"Oh I got bumped around a bit on the way out it seems," Klein answered with a brief shrug, before his features clouded with genuine annoyance, "and worse yet I lost my tricorder!"

Scott and the others quickly cleared the padd. The three other crewmembers quickly materialised on the Padd. Scott took Lee by the arm and helped him up onto his feet.

" Tell me we got something? "

Lee held the back of his neck, the runabout had jolted around a lot as it was thrown out of the alien ship. He winced in pain.

" Yeah, I've got some readings saved on my tricorder, and the majority of the data the runabout got was transmitted to the Discovery. Come on sir, you know me. "

Scott smiled, his science officer was always prepared.

" Good job Lee. Have someone set up a database of everything we have. Then go get some rest. Chief, get Klein to the sickbay. "

Scott himself left the others to there tasks, moving briskly through the corridors and getting into the nearest turbolift. Within moments he was at the bridge, sticking out like a sore thumb in his E.V suit. He took a few steps and was stood beside Commander Thompson.

" It's still there? Has the power stopped increasing yet? "

Reece looked around.

"I didn't realise it was non-uniform day, sir."

He stepped slightly closer to the view screen, "Power levels have stopped increasing sir. It's maxed out. I suspect it'll jump to warp any..."

Reece stopped talking as the ship disappeared off the viewscreen and into warp.

"Never mind."

" Well commander, File everything we've learned in the mission folder. It looks like we won't be the ones to solve the mystery of this ship. Let's just hope it doesn't take another 100 years to solve. "

Reece walked over to the console on his char and tapped away furiously.

"Files sorted and stored." Reece said, "That's a bummer huh? We might've become famous for solving this...."

Scott sighed. He looked around the bridge as Reece's words echoed in his ears. It was a long time since the Discovery had made the headlines, for the right reasons at least. He cast the dark though to the depths of his mind, and focused again on the recent events. Even though they never found out about the ship, it was still nice to know there where some things left to discover out here.

" Helm, take us to starbase 83. Warp 4. "


The Discovery turned gently on her axis, before her nacelles shone bright blue and she slipped into warp, heading to her next destination.
