***Thursday, April 5; 12:30 p.m. (Tracy Island time); Thunderbird Three en route to the MCRC***

Callie could not believe she was heading back into space in Thunderbird Three after being home so short a time from the space station. It's a good thing I was able to see the basketball championship game after getting myself cleaned up from the paintball game, she thought to herself. OW! Sitting down still hurts, though. I'd better not let Scott see it. Aw, heck, I can't think about that now. It's my first rescue where I'm directly involved. I have to be ready to help as best I can.

Scott looked back at Callie. "You ready for this, Ursa?"

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be, Maverick."

The field commander liked her attitude, despite what happened to her in the paintball game. She's so focused when she's on duty. That must've come from working on the International Space Station. No wonder Dad wanted her on the team.

John said, "We're approaching the station now."

When the station came into view, Scott opened communications. "M.C.R.C, this is International Rescue. We're approaching your station and are going to circle it once, to assess the damage from outside."

Don Bailey heard Scott's voice over the radio. "Okay, International Rescue. Let us know when you're ready to dock."

Scott navigated the craft around the station, then put it into stationkeeping mode, so they could have the cameras show them the damaged areas. "Look," Brains said, as he pointed to the screen. "There's the hole in the bulkhead. And there to the left, the damaged shield. Looks like they need at least three replacement panels. I wonder if they have any on hand."

"We'll have to ask Mr. Bailey when we get there," said Callie. "Our first priority is to get to the injured man."

"Why don't we find out now?" Scott said as he opened communications with the station once more. "M.C.R.C., this is International Rescue. We have assessed the damage and find that you need at least three panels to repair the radiation shield. Do you have any panels on board?"

"Hold on, International Rescue. I'll have to check." Don turned to the computer, pulling up the inventory. "We only have two panels in stock here."

Brains said, "That might be enough to slow down the radiation leak until more can be brought up from their planet based station."

"We'll use them to temporarily repair the damage until more panels can be sent up for more permanent repairs," Scott replied. Have them brought up to where they can be taken out and welded on. And please tell me where we should dock. It should be close to where the injured man is, if possible."

Don said, "We'll make it easier for you. We'll light up the docking area closest to him."

Scott pulled Thunderbird 3 back to see a nearby docking area light up on what appeared to be the center level of the station. He traded places with John, who smoothly eased the craft into place. They heard the sound of a successful link, and prepared to get the rescue underway.

He said, "Okay, team. We've got work to do, so let's get to it."

"F-A-B, Maverick," said John.
