>"Steven," he said into the headpiece, "our friends are going to be here[OOC: er.. well... I'll be honest with you, I don't remember. However, I think it WAS only in the deleted/pre-revised portion. Retcon I guess... say that it was okay for first-name basis? (use the old trick: when all else fails, cover your ass =) and run with it. )

Steven heard Nash's orders and swore softly in what sounded like a
combination of Klingon and Mandarin Chinese. The only people who would
have understood it would probably have been either his friends or his
sister, Amira.
"Understood, Mr. Nash (ooc: since he hasn't been given permission yet to
call him by his first name... AND I'm like this in real life
anyway...). Any instructions before we prepare to be evacuated?"
(OOC: Was that only in the "deleted" part that Nash asked him to call him Michael?
If so, I apologize. Mike would want him to call him by his first name. and he'd
not be presumptuous enough to call Steven by his first until he'd done so)
"Be sure everyone's safe - don't let anyone run off on a goose chase, doingMichael Nash was not the only one to be swearing. Upon hearing that he had half the time he initially thought, he called everyone's attention again.
something heroic. We need all our people."
"Mr. Nash has just given us the order to be evacuated. Apparently, the
Ramesar are more than a little annoyed at the fact that we entered their
territory... and they don't know we're down here. The sooner we get out of
here, the better. Do what you can and what is necessary in the next three
minutes."

Before they could return to their conversation the XO cut in.
"Admiral Bedru, Inspector Nash. I just got word from tactical on the
bridge, that long range sensors have picked up two ships inbound at warp
6.2. Tactical also reports that it appears to be a pair of Ramesar war
ships, roughly equivilant to frigates. They should be able full sensor
range in 5 minutes and in firing range in 12."
"Dammit. Steven, you have three minutes," he said. He looked to the liason
officer. "Have the transporter people lock and hold on every one of our people
now. When I give the order, beam them out. How many pads do we have available?" he
asked. "Four our ten people, can we get them out in one or two cycles?"
"Mr. Nash [OOC: I'm doing this for the "team speech" thing] has informed us that we our now officially out of time. Everyone, prepare to be evacuated."
The lead security guard of the five they had brought with them signaled to him that all the security personnel were ready. He glanced at Maggie, Katya, Nabru, and Caimlyn to see whether they were ready to leave or not.

"We're ready when you are, Michael."
