Chief Warrant Officer Kikux was just finishing up getting prepared for the away mission. He always knew that it could be possible that he would be sent to do something like this but he didn't think it would be so soon. He had only gotten to Starbase K-13 two days prior and now he is being sent into the fire already. He finishes up getting the last of the things he would need for the journey together and exited his office in the Diplomatic Offices of K-13. He walked towards the Turbolift, entered it and said "Shuttle Bay". Immediately the Turbolifted grinded to a start, sliding down the lift shaft until it reached the lower decks with the shuttle bay. He stepped out and headed over towards Shuttle Bay 1 where they would all meet. When he got there, he noticed that he was the first one. He then waited for the rest of them to show up. While he waited, he read up further on the Tau Cygnan's so he could be as prepared as possible.

“Shuttlebay in 5” he ordered his petty officer as they departed

Walking into his quarters he started barking orders to the replicator “access my personal files; intel officer away mission uniform.” As if by magic the dark leather uniform appeared the color division purple muted; quickly changing, leaving the baldric draped over the chair; he slid the mek’leth into its holster on his back; the d’k tahg into his boot; the phaser into its left holster the pistol grip out (reverse grip style); tricorder on his right.

Stepping into the turbolift he instructed it to the shuttle bay but only went down a deck when the doors hissed open Badol stood in front of him; dressed identically to himself…almost he knew that she was carrying extra tools for her speciality hidden away on her person. Stepping onto to the turbolift he continued its path down the the shuttle bay; where they stepped out jointly.

Drevas, on the other hand, had equipped and chosen attire suitable for a security officer - uniform, phaser rifle and charges, food and so on. He didn't know much about the Tau Cygnan people, but he had a feeling that he'd have to prepare for the unexpected - even if the Breen didn't somehow get there first. He met up with Veillon and V'Lelyrk at the shuttle bay; the two arrived slightly later than him. "Has anyone seen petty officer Dond?" He asked the rest present.

Chief Warrant Officer Kikux looked up from his reading and noticed the others had come in to the shuttle bay. He got up and approached them. "Well... I guess its that time! No, I was the first to arrive and the ones you see here are the only present currently. Just waiting on Mr. Dond and then we will be good to go."

A few minutes later, a tall well built 23 year old female Tellarite entered Shuttle Bay 1. "Hello, I am Ensign Cupa Naothek. The Commander sent me down. I am going to be your pilot today. We will be taking that Defiant class right there when you are all ready." She grunted pointing to the shuttle on the left side of the Shuttle Bay. She proceeded to go into the shuttle and proceed with going over the pre-launch checklist.

About 15 minutes later, a 23 year old Bajoran rushed out of the Turbolift and into Shuttle bay 1 where the rest of them were waiting. "I am so so sorry" He panted, rushing past them into the Defiant Class shuttlecraft.

Everyone climbed into the shuttlecraft one by one. Only a couple minutes later and Ensign Naothek was requesting permission to launch. "Defiant Class NCX-9122 requesting permission to release docking clamps and launch from shuttle bay 1". A couple seconds later and the clearance was given. Cupa touched off and they were off on their mission.
