Alia was grateful for the warmth across her face, sitting still in the cold had made her muscles a bit sore. Absentmindedly she nodded her head in acknowledgement towards the Taisa, but kept running through the data from the away team as well as the ship's own sensors. Ten minutes is too long, she thought to herself, but how do I shorten that time?
"Ise-Taisa, Eternity reports that Engineering believes ten minutes is needed before we lift-off for safe removal of the ice, however, I believe that we need to move before then or at least have some weapons free to move. As we warm up we will become more and more obvious to thermal scans by enemy forces, and without weaponry or maneuverability we won't stand a chance against an attack." She paused to let that sink in before continuing, " Taisa, the only way I believe we can speed up the process is to send out EVA teams to break the ice up."
