Mission: Tremor Trouble
Location: Ya'dalla
Timeline: Present

Amanda had just arrived on Ya'dalla, and already she was inundated with reports from casualty clearing stations, engineering teams and scientific research teams. She desperately needed some help organising things, but until that help arrived, she had to do what she could. She glanced at the tactical map that had been setup in the command centre, and noticed another ship coming in to orbit. She recognised the name vaguely, but was unsure from where. She opened a hail to the ship, hoping to give orders over.

"Ya'dalla Control to USS Timmis, this is Captain Amanda Bleetman, in command of evac on the ground." She said, hoping for a quick reply. She had plenty for them to do, including alot of Injured she hoped to beam to them.

John was staring at the viewscreen as Ya'dalla came into view. This was really not a good scene. To him it felt like they took way too much time to get back here.

"Sir, incoming message from Ya'dalla control." The Coms informed Pentac.

"Open the channel.. " John replied and listened to Captain Bleetman's message.

"Captain Bleetman, Pentac here. How may we assist you?" Pentac replied.

"Where would you like me to begin Captain...I have alot of wounded down here, some of which I have no means to treat down here. I need them transporting to the nearest advanced medical facility. I could also use whatever scientists and engineers you have available to help with the earthquake and related damage. I believe you also have a complement of Fighter pilots onboard?" Amanda asked, looking at the crew listing for the Timmis.

"Captain, I will have Cmdr Watkins on it asap. Engineering is ready and waiting. We will gladly transport medical cases to SB99. Cmdr Lawson is in charge of our pilots. We are here for you. Your orders Captain?" John replied with a steady voice. The situation sounded worse than he was expecting.

"I have plenty of supplies available but not enough smaller ships to get them down here. If your pilots can take the shuttles, and then bring supplies down that would be brilliant. I am ready for your engineering teams as soon as you are. Also I could use some help organising things, if you can spare a command officer." She said, assigning each department jobs on a PADD. "Perhaps you could beam down and see the situation for yourself?" She asked.

"I will get the transports you need ready. LtCmdr Mo'Bri and her team will beam down to you shortly. They are ready as we speak. My Xo Cmdr Lawson will be managing the Flight team thus you have me to help out with the load. I will also bring along my Chief Science officer Cmdr Watkins. Expect the teams down in about 20 minutes. Will that be fine?" John asked politely. His insides were feeling like crap but he wasn't showing anything but professionalism.

Amanda smiled, being thankful for all the assistance. "That would be great Captain, I look forward to meeting you on the surface shortly." She answered, making more notes and recalling some teams that needed rest, or food, or any number of other things. The ground started to shake again. "Bleetman out." She said, calling off the comm. As the comm closed the background noise was slightly frightening. Shouts of fear and pain, damage reports.
