It doesn't look like one of those would be big enough to transport the dreadnought, or the processed ore.

True. Though it might be a good way for the infiltration team to get out with the ZPM.

I guess the assault team is on its own in this case.

Can we just assume that both teams are going to grab some of the ore we need? Deep set up the assualt team to take some from the minehead, and there might be some naquandriah in the pyramid for the infiltration team.

Now - assault team: are you guys jacking a Gou'ald shuttle, or transporting, or what? Ashok is pretty much set on staying to help the infiltrators get off-planet.

Infiltration team: are YOU guys stealing a shuttle, or taking advantage of Ashok's plan to help transport you as soon as you get your mitts on the goods?

I'll vote for the assualt team beaming out, Phebes will likely be needed to help with the wounded crew. Same for the infiltration team.

there's also the question about all the workers at the mines and what to do with them.

I don't really think the Kirk is in any position to care for a few hundred refugees, even if we had ample time to evacuate them. The ship's sickbay will already be busy taking care of the wounded and maimed crewmen. The fact that the ship's currently missing quite a few pieces is also going to limit us in taking any on.

I think it'd be best just to leave them there. Better dead than enslaved by foul, blasphemous xenos.

Right, I don't think that they're necessarily our concern. Might make some good character pieces afterward, though.

Hey, just so you guys know...
Al'kesh is a good thing. Tel'tak is bad. Huron can't fit in the Tel'tak. Also the Al'kesh can carry a lot more the the N-mineral.

Rhinox has also gone into the mine to help the infiltrators. I'm guessing in rhino mode, he can carry ore and infiltrators out. He can go at a good clip, after all.

Last I heard, the infiltration team was on their way to exit the pyramid. The communication Ashok sent to Bauer was supposed to indicate that they should find the stockpile of naquandriah (Lord, but that's a bitch to type) in the pyramid, and Ashok would use his devious plan to get them beamed out directly. All at great and heroic peril to him personally, of course.

As to the rest of the assault team: IDK. Beam out right now, or grab what you can from the mine then go, try and 'jack a Gou'ald ship, whatever. Bear in mind that if you need to breath - or to not be on fire - you'll have to wait a couple of seconds to enter the mine.

Thats why power armor is better the wishbone armor... (laughes at stupid eldar)

Okay that solves Heron-Fel's probably at least. What happens when you beam someone into an area that they don't fit in? Protoss buildings are canceled, but if Zanitav overruled the safety programs... I think in Trek Heron-Fel and the bulkhead would combine but maybe in Starcraft he'd just cause a hull breach? I dunno. And this will take several minutes to do so Zanitav will have to race the clock.

I'm going to go with the assumption that it'll cause structural damage.

Hey, the ship is already wrecked enough that a big hole in Sickbay probably won't be noticed.

So long as sick bay isn't on the outer section of the hull... 'Well the good news is we saved Heron-Fel the bad news is the entire triage area was exposed to hard vacuum'

Nah, SIckbay is probably deep inside the ship. That's where it should be, at least.
