=/\= Weapons Lockers =/\=

It was nearly three minutes after the appointed deadline as Shaille approached the weapons lockers. She had spent the last ten minutes going over and over data that had been sent over from the Icarus as well as their own data from their skirmish with the Shalti and there was little that had been found to provide her with any source of comfort. Now they were down to good old fashioned foot work, providing of course they managed to get anything resembling a search party together.

Lita came around the corner looking just like what she was, a Marine. She had her sidearm, a handful of grenades and cradled in her arms, held in a combat-ready grip, was her rifle, the marks of some customization on it, "Ma'am, Corporal Callen reporting with a party of one." The small redhead grinned widely, "Ready to go hunting."

Patrick was hot on her heels, full dress fatigues, slung rifle, grenades neatly tucked in their belt. His side arm where it should be, "1st Lt. Patrick O'Shea reporting as ordered, sir. Ready to go hunting", he said, smiling slightly.

As the number of people gathering grew, Shaille ran through the list of names on the PADD that Corinne had brought back from the XO's office. The list of officers who were both readily available and had more than basic weapons training was no where near as extensive, something she made a mental note to start changing as soon as this was over.

Glancing across at Corinne and Jackson, Shaille nodded slightly. "Start handing out weapons to anyone who isn't already carrying," she ordered, one hand resting lightly on her own handheld phaser, her rifle slung across her back as she continued to peruse the list to see who else could be enlisted while they waited for more to arrive.

"Sorry ma'am." Shirley slipped into the room and wound her way through the bodies to the locker and outfitted herself with a handheld and a pulse rifle before loading up with a few powerpacks, "I had to call in Ted to relieve me at my post, but I made it." She flashed a bright smile at Patrick before looking back over to Shaille, "Any ideas where we're looking?"

"We start at the top and work our way down," Shaille said simply. "Split into two teams and start on deck two. I think it's safe to assume that deck one will be free and clear. All Jefferies tube accesses have been locked down so we don't need to worry about crawl spaces. EVERY room needs to be opened. Any empty quarters need to be checked for monsters in the closets and boogie men under the bed, any allocated quarters will need confirmation that the quarters are clear. please try and be at least a little circumspect, remember we aren't trying to alarm the entire crew. Any questions?"

"Seems pretty straightforward to me!" Laro replied, getting everything read. "Let's hope we aren't next."

Moving slightly closer to PO O'Neil, his own bright smile flashed, "Well....what ever the hell it is, won't stand a chance in hell! Not with all of us on heightened alert status. Not a question but rather a suggestion......the less said to anyone would give us a better chance to catch who or whatever it is that is loose on the ship.....", he said looking at Lt. Levine.

"Wiseman and Callen, you can lead up team one. Take Laro, Jackson, Kaspersky and Marshall with you. Start on deck two, forward. I'll take Romeo here," she said motioning to Patrick, "O'Neil, Austin, and Cassian. We'll start deck two, aft. Stay alert and more importantly, stay alive." Shaille cautioned as she split the small gathering into two groups. "Alright, let's get this show on the road."
