Harry stepped away from the party for a moment, and tapped on his combadge. "Captain Anderson to the Shanghai, please respond." Called out Harry, hoping that his daughter Kerja, made it safely up to the ship. He was not just calling to see if Kerja made it. He knew she did. He wanted an update from Thorrin, and wanted to update Thorrin, on what was happening on the planet.

"This is the Bridge go ahead sir." Thorrin replied, the call from the Captain was both welcome and unwelcome. Welcome because he broke up the monotony of running a ship in orbit. Unwelcome because it took Thorrin away from his research and his reading, his life's work.

"Lieutenant, there was a minor incident down on the surface. Everyone is fine. My daughter Kerja, has returned to the ship. I want to keep you in the loop, on what has transpired. As a precaution only, keep a transporter lock on the crew, and an open communication line, in case anything goes south." Said Harry, as he looked to his senior staff. He managed to walk away, but still be in eye sight of everyone.

"Aye sir. Shall we send a security detail down there for your protection sir? Is everything okay with the Dragonian alliance?" Thorrin knew the Captain would refuse however, when in open communication protocols must be followed. In truth Thorrin was not sure what had happened, as far as he knew the Dragonians were allies, however, anything can happen even on an allied world.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, everyone is okay. Just keep a lock on us." Suggested Harry. Thorrin was right, Harry did not agree with his suggestion. But he was not going to call him out on it, instead he would try to play it off as a suggestive request. Harry understood and appreciated Thorrin's position. He was worried for his captain, and fellow shipmates.

Thorrin motioned to the officer at the Ops console to make sure that the transporter locks were established. "Aye sir transporter locks established, and we are standing by for your order. My suggestion for the time being is to simply enjoy yourself, sir." A smile crawled across Thorrin's face.

"I plan on Lieutenant, at the end of your shift, beam down to the planet, and check out this place. Its a hidden gem. The Dragonians, are creative and vibrant culture." Harry said, hoping that Thorrin would come down and check, this place out. The dragonian colony world was marvel, that all should see. He was grateful for the invite.

At the sound of being invited to the planet Thorrin gritted his teeth in a way that no one could see. Thorrin was more at home on the ship than on alien colonies, and he hoped that this was not an order. "Aye sir, that I will. I am sure the views are quite breathtaking. Just to keep you advised we are taking this opportunity to fine tune the ship's power systems. I have engineering and operations teams working on it. The goal is to increase the power out put by 25 percent."

"Very well, keep me aprised and Mister Thorrin, nicely done!" Said Harry with a big smile on his face. At least Thorrin was doing something productive, with this down time. Harry had a big grin on his face.

"Aye sir. Thank you sir. Shaghai out" When the comm channel went dead Thorrin sat in the center chair and he found himself longing for something to go wrong. Anything that would keep him off the planet. He sighed deeply through his nose.
