Joseph watched as the young woman ran down the ramp, then looked at the Chief standing next to him.
"Chief, get her closed and sealed up."
Grabbing the handset from the wall, Joseph called to the Bridge.
"Helm, get us off this planet and to the Atlantia. I want all weapons hot, gods only know whose watching us. As soon as we're a thousand meters up, jump us to the shipyards location, five hundred thousand meters off the first anchorage. We'll plot the course to Atlantia from there."
"Helm, aye, preparing for lift off Sir."

Looking at the VP, Joseph spojke as he ehaded to the Bridge.
"Well, let's head to the bridge Mr. Vice-President. Once we've jumped, we;ll go pay a visit to our two guests and have a little talk with them before we hand them over to the Atlantia."

"All stations, report status now."
Joseph was informed they were now above the Panterran Ocean in the Northern Hemisphere so the trip to Corinth would have to go west to avoid Sparta and the Gondawans as well. The Terrans and Colonial Fleet would already know where they were but he still wanted to avoid any meetings with the local air units. Looking at the Chief of the Watch, Joseph gave the order to ready the shuttles for launch.
"Chief Guttenberg, ready the shuttles."
"Aye Captain, ready all shuttles for launch."
"Con, Navigation, report we are three hundred meters from surface."
"Con, Engineering, we report all systems normal, out"
"Bridge, Hangar Bay, we are ready."
"Chief, you have the Con, I'm heading to the shuttles,"
"Aye Sir, I have the Con, ready ship to leave orbit in four minutes."
Joseph rushed to the Hangar Bay and borded the lead shuttle, carrying J Castorious and the several Quorum members that were on board.
Within seconds they had launched from the Marauder and headed towards Corinth.

Sitting there in his chair on the bridge, Joseph was anxious to get this mission done and over with. The idea of a surface landing did not really appeal to him, it never did. This was one time he could not refuse the request. Looking over at his Navigator he gave the command to descend.
"Leftenant, proceed to planetary coordinates 48.86319° N, 2.339754° E. Confirm."
"Nav, confirm coordinates 48.86319° N, 2.339754° E, Aye Sir. Descending now, entry into atmosphere in five, four, three, two, one."
The ship shuddered as it entered into the atmosphere, hurtling through the air at well over 1500 km/h. Suddenly they were through and into the lower atmosphere. Joseph looked over at the Helmsman.
"Helm, slow to 500 km/h"
"Helm, slowing to 500, Aye Sir"
Joseph looked out the front of the ship and could see the continent of Corinth coming into view. Within a few minutes he could see the lines of the capital city. They would soon be at their destination, the Castorious home. Pressing a comm key to the Landing Bay, Joseph called to his XO, a young woman whose parents he knew from Canceron.
"XO, be ready. The Terrans aren't going to be too happy with us making an unannounced landing so we need to move fast. Get your team out the door the moment we touch down. You have 30 minutes to get everyone and get back, copy?"
"Yes Captain, I get it. We've gone over this a dozen times today alone. We'll get them here in time Sir, trust me."
Joseph trusted the woman but he also knew with any mission, something always goes wrong. The voice of his Nav Officer brought his attention back to the landing.
"Sir, we are at the coordinates and making our final approach for landing. Strobes have been lit on the surface. Touch down in 30 seconds."
Joseph sat there, watching as the ground came up to them. Within moments they had touched down. Looking at the clock, he waited. The voice of his XO came over the comm.
"Landing team away, see you shortly."
"Okay, keep an eye out for any friendlies coming to investigate and stand by."

As Captain Georgette Halama, CF (NPC)
Having landed and taxied to her parking spot in the Landing Bay, Georgette quickly performed her post landing shut down and then hopped out of her seat to exit the Raptor, her passengers having already exited ahead of her and her crew. Georgette looked around the Landing Bay and waved at a Chief coming towards her.
"Chief, she's all yours. I was feeling a little shimmy landing on Titan and again here, I think a stabilizer is acting funny on the starboard side. Now, if you will excuse me, I gotta use the head."
The Chief just smiled and shook her head, walking towards the raptor.
