<Lt. Cmdr. Max Mortimer, Bridge>

Mortimer watches the engineering crew shoot across the void towards the starbase docking ring. For a few seconds, the team look as if they are floating off into oblivion.

"Science officer. Scan them, and see what condition they're in"

"I am detecting little activity. Speculate that Officers have lost consciousness."

"Mortimer to Chief Harper. Our engineering team is in trouble. Get ready to bea...... no... belay that order"

They're starting to come round.

Finally the team show signs of activity, and fire their magnetic grappels. Within a minute, they are attached to the Lafayette.

"USS Lafayette, this is Zero-G team. All members accounted for, and I see the ship is still in one piece so I guess the manuver was successful - just don't ask any of us to go through it again." She managed a weak laugh. "We're moving to the umbilical. Let us know when the Captain and his team are in position. Kindle out."

"Storm to number one, We are in position and waiting for the go ahead."  

"Mortimer to Kindle. Captain is is position.  Proceed to umbilicals to make necessary modifications. Please maintain direct communication with the Captain from this point"

"Mr. Solod, Prepare to engage internal support systems once umbilicals are disconnected."

"Mr. Beata, as soon as we're free of the station, activate thrusters"

"Mortimer to Chief Harper. Do you have a lock on the captain and his team?"
"Lock obtained, sir"
