The Runabout slid down onto Io and glided into the landing bay of Station Kerry. The team had made it. Not only had they recovered the scientists, but they had found a mysterious facility on the other end of the transport system and recovered a mysterious woman while there. 
 
It had only taken about 20 minutes to reach Io upon escaping from the biological transportation device. During that time, the team had a small debate about the benefits of Starfleet rations. In the end, the Doctor won out, and they all ate their fill of much needed nutritional supplements. That is not to say that it was done without the usual bickering. 
 
Ian McTiernan turned from his station with a smile. "I do not know how to thank you and your team, Commander. I am sure that I speak for Gabe and Janice when I say that you were a Godsend." 
 
"I am just glad that we were able to recover Mr Ares and Ms. Howser so quickly." Aravis worked on the shut down sequence as they talked. "Commander, I have a question for you. Have you noticed any increased traffic in the area? It seems if that facility has been using that transit point for some time, you should be starting to see more ships in the area."

At the back of the Runabout, Gabe Ares was up on his feet and feeling a bit better. Janice Howser seemed to be in a similar condition. They watched Dr. Ingolsdottir as she examined the woman in the cryogenic chamber. "Do you have any idea who she is, Doctor?" 
 
Gabe turned and made his way over to join the Doctor at the chamber.  His background in xenobiology could be helpful.
