"I disagree. If SAR is in the coming, we need all the space we can get and that
means the /Mae Lee/ is a better choice. Lives will be in the balance so Mira
will need the sick bay. That and if we get shot at we can shoot back. It also
means that we have two vessels in the air when we get there. The ship can also
get there faster. Your call but if you choose just the Walk, we can't save as
many lives."
"You have more flair with the Walk so I submit that you are the best choice
to fly her in an emergency."
Shawn hit his comm and called Mira.
When she answered, he will speak.
"Mira, we have a class one emergency breaking. We need you here asap and the
rest of the crew, if they are with you. The dam above the ranch has breached
and flooding is imminent. If you are not within a short distance, we will be
launching the Walk to pick you up priority."
