Talee was looking over the specs of the satellites of this century on her PaDD. This was gonna be a precision job and a fast precision job at that. "This is gonna be tricker than I thought it was gonna be." Talee muttered from the back of the shuttle doing on more check of her EVA suit. This was what Talee did when she was nervous and well she was nervous.

Joanna entered the shuttle and was going to check over the navigational computer and double check the necessary flight paths when she heard the almost nearly inaudible mutter from Talee. "Something worries you Lt. Malena? She asked.

“No no everything is fine,” Talee said looking up towards the front, {it’s just my nervous tick.} Talee thought. “Are we ready to launch?”

"Yes Lt. Galena we are good to go. The navigational computer is ready and the flight vectors have been fed into the navcom. The engines are ready, shields, scanners, sensors are all within norms", Joanna said.

"Something still bothers you or is it that you are nervous?", Joanna added. "You seemed outta sorts when I boarded the shuttle", she continued, looking at the lieutenant.

Standing up Talee walked up to the front of the shuttle and laid a gentle paw onto Jackson's shoulder. "Just nerves commander just nerves."

"I hope it is only that and nothing else. It would not sit well if it were anything else," Joanna said softly. "Have you gone over the specs from the satellites," she added.

Talee placed a paw softly on the commander's shoulder. ".....I have," Talee said giving the other women's a shoulder squeeze. "We'll be fine. And once we get done with this we should have another conversation."

"Ok so what's next Talee?" Joanna asked.

"We take off and get me to the satellite." Talee said walking back and getting herself into her EVA suit.


"Hang on to your garter belt cause here we go", Joanna said as she lifted the shuttle out of the Odin and into the atmosphere. "Engaging the holoemitter now", Joanna said and the shuttle took on its new appearance. It didn't take long for the shuttle to get to its destination. "We have arrived Talee. Please be careful out there", she said.

"Alright. I am ready I'm going pressurize the cabin sealing you in and allowing me to exit the shuttle and not suck you into space. I need you. to stay close as close as you can without hitting the satellite or pushing it with your maneuvering thrusters." Talee said looking at the pilot.


"Understood, Talee, just watch it ok? Please", Joanna said.

Once everything was sealed Talee opened the back hatch and exit into the blackness of space. Taking a deep breath she demagnetized her boots and pushed off through the blackness to the satellite. After grabbing the satellite she re-magnetized her boots allowing her to get to work. {Shit! Wh what the hell?} Talee thought looking at the insides of the satellite but then something else catches her eye. But it was too late to anything as a fast moving of space junk came hurtling in and knocking Talee off the satellite and hurtling out into the darkness of space..

Watching Talee work, Joanna was watching the shuttle readouts when the proximity alarm went off. Just as she looked up, some space junk hit the satellite and knocked Talee off in the process...."Talee Noooooooo!! Damn it.....Oh shit!" Joanna hollered as more space junk hit the shuttle making the shuttle shudder and the engines went offline. Even more space junk hit the shuttle sending it spiraling away from the Odin before Joanna could use the thrusters to stop the uncontrolled spin. Sick to her stomach, Joanna could do nothing to save Talee and she had to give the Odin the news.


=/\= Odin this is Joanna in Shuttle Cochrane, Lt. Talee Malena is dead. The satellite was hit by space junk and it.....knocked her off sending her into space along with the satellite. There was no way I could get her as the shuttle was also hit several times by more junk. I have sustained damage to propulsion but I believe I can make it using the thrusters to get within tractoring distance. Jackson out =/\=


Talee was knocked unconscious when the space junk hit her and what she didn't realize was the junk caused massive damage to her EVA suit and she was loosing oxygen fast and there was nothing she could do to fix it. In a matter of minuets she was dead.
