March 13th, 2142, 1513 standard GMT, Gateway Station (in L-5 orbit over Earth)
After the group is strapped in, Casper's voices almost purrs over your comms (feline warrant officer pilot for your drop-shuttle) "Alrighty boys, get ready for the slow ride back to the Gateway…"
The shuttle fires up and makes its way to space (internal dampers mean the G's are not to bad). Within an hour it is docking with the station and the group is set off toward the hospital to get checked out and fixed up. Casper and her Primate co-pilot come out to see the group off and the feline Moreau casually mentions that she will be heading over the Mess Hall/Rec room Mxa4 in an hour or so… as she glances at Sneak before the Squad heads out…
The Doctors give everyone patches of Antitoxin and Sporekill chem.-meds. Cat's Eyes is sent into Surgery, and Gort is asked to stay overnight, while the rest of the Squad is released. They have the rest of the day off and are to report tomorrow for mission debriefing.
