X2U-238: Shot in the Dark 2
In reply to StarMaster (msg # 6):
Kaspar jogs over to the cargo bay doorway, glances in, then jogs back to Vasandra.
"Goddess," Kaspar bows before Vasandra, "the bay is empty of enemies, the Star-" Kaspar grimaces, then continues, "the, uh, chappa'ai is ours. Would you have your technicians..." Kaspar nods towards Freyda and Gavin, "begin repairs now, or wait 'til a later time?" Kaspar hopes that Vasandra picks up on his emphasis of the word now.
"The Gator-Jaffa..." again Kaspar grimaces, berating himself for the slip, "I mean, the, uh, orak'tar must either be below, in the engine room, attempting repairs, or are up in the pel'tak. Given that we welded the doors, below, it's a pretty fair bet that they are all above. Or, finding the ship sabotaged, they may have returned whence they came."
Kaspar snaps a finger to gain Rajip's attention, and glances over at Hilda, nodding that she should come closer, as he finishes his 'report' to Vasandra,
"Should we rush upwards and attack them in the pel'tak, or check below first? We are yours to command, Goddess." Kaspar barely hides the smirk.
