After leaving the meeting, Hurd made his way back to his office, slowly shaking his head. "Great, a Ghost Ship, now that's creepy." Going through the scenarios of what could have happened, Hurd shook his head harder, each scenario getting worse and worse in his head. Sighing to himself as he walked into his office, he pushed the thoughts out of his head and hit his combage. "Major Hurd to MarDet, i need ten Marines fully armed and in EVA suits to report to shuttle bay 1, ill brief you there, Hurd out". Grabbing his own gear and pulling on a EVA suit, he turned and left his office, arriving in the shuttle bay a few moments later.

"Alright", Hurd said walking up to his Marines. "We are to take a shuttle to the Victory and determine what happened". "As you are probably aware, their has been no response from Victory, nor the other two ships nor the Starbase they are docked at". Hurd looked at each of them before continuing. "All systems are online but the personal manning the base and ships have, for lack of a better phrase, disappeared into thin air". Taking just a few moments, he said, "We don't know what's going on but we are going to find out".

"Once we board here are your assignments. "You three", he said pointing at Wilson, Axel, and Daniels, "You are to make your way to Engineering, secure it, and start running scans on all ships systems." "The next three of you", Hurd said pointing at Vargas, K'Tren and Melody", "Make your way to Sickbay and see what's going on down there".

The next three of you, Hurd said pointing at Kelsy, Breann and Lysdey, "Are to rive around and scan deck by deck, check and ensure all armories and weapons bays are secure, and meet me on the Bridge". "Do not take your EVA suits off until its deemed safe and i give you direct orders to do so".

Stepping back, Hurd took all of their faces in, noting the looks of confusion and apprehension on them. In a Fatherly voice, Hurd said, Look i know you all are nervous and a little scared, and truth be told so am i". "But we are Marines, we can do this, and i the utmost faith in each and every one of you, so lets go!!!" A chorus of cheers and shouts broke out making Hurd smile. Tapping his combadge he said, Hurd to Bridge, Commodore are we cleared to execute mission launch in the Victory?"

"The fighters are out, I've not heard any reports of problems, proceed with caution and check in regularly," Cyndi saod

"Understood Commodore, our first comm check will be in 20, Hurd out." Turning to his Marines, he said, "Let's Rock and Roll!!".

Loading into the shuttle after his Marines, Hurd tapped the shuttle pilot and said, calmly, "If you can, drop us off in shuttlebay one aboard the Victory, or somewhere else thats convenient." "But wherever you drop us off, get back to the Amadora as fast as you can, no sense in putting anyone else in a potentially dangerous situation that doesn't need to be". The Pilot nodded and turned back to his console as Hurd sat down. A few moments later, the shuttle lifted off, carrying the Major and his Marines towards a completely befuddling mystery.
