Since nothing seems to be happening... no reason not to continue what we were doing.))
The hanger deck was alive with techs and engineers, pilots and fleet officers tending to various craft from TIE Defenders, to the base-line X-Wings, performing maintenance work, upgrades, repairs. The hanger was filled with about two squadron's worth of star fighters, and could hold about as many more. There was a Skipray blastboat being lowered down a transfer tube, and a Lambda class shuttle parked in the empty portion of the hanger deck.
At that moment the magnetic field popped, and another Lambda shuttle entered the hanger, slowly kicking in it's repulsors as it followed directions from the ground controller who waved the shuttle over to an empty area. A few seconds later, as the whine of the shuttles engines began to fade, it settled to the Continuum's hanger deck, landing struts compressing under the weight of the shuttle in the hanger's artificial gravity.
The ground controller did a quick walk around the craft before indicating it to be safe, and the pilots closed down the engines.
Off to the far right of the hanger, a blast door opened to allow a squad of fleet troopers and two grey uniformed Naval officers to approach the shuttle. Their footsteps echoing into the background din of the normal hanger activity as the ground controller took a standing position at the rear of the craft where the fleet troopers would take station.
The squad took up a row formation seconds later from where the controller stood, and stood to military attention, while the officers stood side by side infront of the ramp. The higher ranked officer wore the insignia of an Admiral, had greying black hair combed neatly under his cap, while the other was the ships captain. A shorter man, with a mean moustache, and an almost mean look in his eyes.
They waited in silence for the ramp to lower.
