When he stepped into the cockpit of the ship, she was just clearing the
protective shield holding in the atmosphere of the docking area.   He
quickly made his way over to the station where he was seated on  their
arrival and began scans to find the transport point on this side of  the
portal.

It obviously did not take long for company to arrive as  the ship shook with
the impact of fire from other vessels.

Aravis  shifted the runabout into a series of evasive maneuvers.  "Mr
Knucklebiter, see if you can distract a few of our friends with some  fire. 
Commander, I would appreciate some coordinates for the junction  point ASAP.
It will not do us any good to find the scientists and  either get captured
ourselves or get us all killed."

(KB?)

McTeirnan sent the sensors probing to find the location as the Runabout
lurched from being hit.  He could only hope they would survive to get back
to Station Kerry.  Then his console started beeping.  He had found  it.  "I
have it Lt. Holt.  I am transferring the coordinates to your  station.  Let
me know when you want me to send out the initiation signal."

"Great job, Commander."  Aravis glanced down at her console to access the
incoming information.  Fortunately, the coordinates were not too far away. 
She entered in the navigational directives to bring the runabout to the
destination.  "Commander, send the signal, and let's get out of here."

McTiernan sent out the signal and the now familiar flare of light burst out in space.  The runabout swung in and passed through the artificial portal, which seemed to close in behind it preventing the pursuers from following suit.
 
On the other side, the runabout burst back into normal space.  The team was free.
