Episode 221 “Third Party Intervention, Part 5”: While chasing Ion trails the crew of the USS Luna have encountered a race of individuals that call themselves the Naheev on the surface of a uninhabited moon.  It would appear that the Naheev are collecting records about the history of their civilization, which has long ago fallen from power.  Meanwhile the USS Atlas, also in orbit of this moon, has reported that they have lost contact with the Away Team that they sent to the surface.  Unfortunately the Luna has located a single member of that Away Team, badly wounded and bearing the marks of some sort of animal attack, but what sort of animal can overcome a trained Federation Away Team?

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@FCO: How is he doing?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
@*XO*: I got you. I will be there in a few minutes :: leaves the company he was in and starts jogging for the XO ::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
@:: Checks his phaser::
Host Lanna_Wei says:
@::watches the curious alien run off into a woods and shrugs slowly::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ *CO*: Captain, we have a Federation officer down.  They are not one of ours.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*XO*: Have the shuttle relay them up.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*Shuttle*: Prepare to beam one wounded aboard along with the CMO as soon as he gets here.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@XO: He was still alive when I scanned him. But his injuries looked very serious.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
@:: after a short jog Lennier arrives at the XO's location ::
Host Torn_Suu says:
@::watches the scene unfold with a degree of interest, while talking to his fellow Naheev::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@:: Motions the doctor towards the downed officer.::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::contacts T'Neer to have her prepare Sickbay for a wounded officer and the CMO::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
@:: Looks at the downed Officer:: Self: In the name o Nessie
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
@:: Grabs his medkit and starts scanning the down officer ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Heading back to the Bridge from the transporter room, still sicker than a dog::
Host Lanna_Wei says:
@::arrives at the away teams location just after the CMO, doesn't seem to have been running at all::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@CMO: Can you ascertain what might have done this damage?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
@XO: this man has severe injuries. Major lacerations to his torso which invade the abdominal cavity. I have to get him to sickbay in order to save him *MO* prepare for emergency surgery. I'm beaming directly to sickbay with an injured officer.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan gets off the turbo-lift coughing::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
*CMO*: T'Neer already has Sickbay prepared.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*Shuttle*: Beam aboard the CMO, his patient, the CEO and FCO.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
@*MO*: T'Neer good.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@CEO: If there is someone you would like to add to the team remaining, send them down.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Has a communications channel opened to the USS Atlas ::  COM: Atlas: Commander Sutcliffe, this is Captain Savar.  We may have recovered one of your missing officers.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
@XO: Aye sir
Host Lt_Speed says:
*XO*: Energizing now.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*Silver*: As soon as you have a team and gear ready, beam them down at our location.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::He stands at the back of the Bridge like he always does, noting things in his PADD::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
XO: I would like to stay down here too. Archeology is my hobby. Maybe I can be of some help.

@ACTION: The CMO, CEO, FCO and the injured Atlas Officer all appear in Sickbay

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@:: Just catches the FCO's words as she is beamed away::
Host Cmdr_Sutcliffe says:
COM: Luna: Captain, you have found one of our officers?  Where?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Atlas: On the surface, Commander.  The away team did not specify exactly.  He seems to have superfluous injuries, but the total extend is unknown.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::sighs::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*FCO*: Get clearance with the captain.  Our current assignment has priority and you are our best flight officer.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: puts the injured officer on a gurney :: *MO*: Mr Lynch meet me in surgery. ASAP
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
*XO*: Understood
Host Cmdr_Sutcliffe says:
COM: Luna: Please let us know when you find out, in the mean time we are going to send another team to try and locate the first
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Gets close to the door::  All: Ah think ah'll be goin now
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::hearing the CMO he feels like asking "Why, so I can do all the 'work' as usual?"::  *CMO*: Acknowledged
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::leaves Sickbay and goes to check on Teebo before heading to the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Finding herself alone for the moment, turns back to the Naheev:: Torn Suu: As mentioned, we do not want to be in your way.  Is there an area you would prefer us to be located?  ::Nods toward where the harmed officer had been::  Also, do you know what attacked that officer?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::steps off the bridge and into a TL::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
::Leaves the sickbay and heads for the bridge::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: starts the surgery without the MO ::
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: I cannot allow you to search these ruins alone.  We do not know what attacked your officer, although this moon should have no other life on it.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Atlas: Understood.  I'd like to follow through with our original mission, as well.  We should leave behind support personnel and carry on with our inspection.  Federation security must take priority.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::arrives in Sickbay and begins the sterilization procedure for the OR::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::smiles:: Torn Suu: I will not begin anything until my team arrives, which hopefully should be soon.  It sounds like we both need to be very careful.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::arrives at her quarters, keys in the code and walks in to find Teebo staring at his empty food plate::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::enters the OR all prepped::  CMO: Doctor.  What's the situation?
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Arrives on the bridge and heads for Engineering 1::
Host Cmdr_Sutcliffe says:
COM: Luna: I agree Captain, but we have already located two unidentified vessels on this moon, until we can confirm that they are not a threat to the federation I believe this must take an equal priority
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::gets food for Teebo, pets him quickly and walks back out, locking the door::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Massive lacerations to the torso. one laceration has succeeded in penetration the abdominal cavity lacerating the descending aorta
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO:  Hmmm....  ::looking over the patients wounds as he listens to the CMO::  CMO: How do you wish to proceed sir?
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::heads to the bridge after getting herself a coffee::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Atlas: Can you describe these vessels?

@ACTION: As if on cue the second Away Team from the Luna materializes at the XO's position.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: If you can grab the cauterizer while I try and suction some of this excess blood up. We need to replace it fast or we'll lose the patient.
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: I believe you have misunderstood, I cannot allow any of your people to enter these ruins unaccompanied, there is technology contained within here that you are not yet ready for
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::grabs the cauterizer and returns scanning the patient for his blood type::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::walks onto the bridge, relieves the Lt. at helm and takes helm::
Host Cmdr_Sutcliffe says:
COM: Luna: I will send you our sensor data, although it doesn't match anything in our databanks.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@:: Hearing the beam, turns around to greet the team, then back to Torn Suu::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::scans the console to check their status::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::reads the Tricorder::  Self:  Hmm... 'O' Negative.  ::goes to grab the required plasma from storage::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@Torn Suu: You are not responsible for us.  We are used to accepting and dealing with the unknown.  If you wish some of your people to work with mine, we would be honored.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Atlas: We have also encountered a vessel and non-native aliens; however their intentions appear to be benign.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@  All: We do not have a lot of time, but we have much to cover.  Everyone is to remain paired and close by at the moment as we had an officer attacked. ::nods to two::  I want samples of as much plant life as we can get, along with water samples.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::intently listens to the two captains chat to each other::
Host Torn_Suu says:
@::nods his head slowly:: XO: Are there more of your people inside the ruins?
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::listens to the conversation going on::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ Torn Suu: Not from my ship.  There could be from the other ship.  I do not know.
Host Cmdr_Sutcliffe says:
COM: Luna: Our Away Team didn't locate any aliens, just this small ship, they did apparently locate some sort of ruin that they were investigating
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::returns with the blood plasma and begins setting up a transfusion::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Atlas: That sounds similar to what we found.  My Executive Officer will be remaining behind with support personnel in a good will archeological team.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Okay Got the major injury of the descending aorta fixed. but there’s still some unresolved bleeding here.

ACTION: The Medical Teams patient remains in a critical condition, it is impossible but the CMO could swear that some of the cuts appear to have got bigger.

MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::notes where the CMO motioned and sticks his hand in the wound trying to find where it;s coming from::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@EO: Prepare us a simple site.  Nothing elaborate as our time is limited.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Look. Did those wounds just get bigger after I've sealed them.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: The creature that attacked him must have some sort of anti-coagulant venom in it's claws or teeth... or whatever this man was cut with
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@Tactical: I want one of you with each group.  I don't need to tell you to keep your eyes open.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: scans the wounds again :: MO: Look at this. the skin seems to be in some sort of temporal flux so it wont seal properly.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::scans the open wounds for contagions but stops as he hears the CMO::  CMO: That's not possible.
Host Torn_Suu says:
@::nods at the XO again:: XO: We are going to get the last of the information we need, would some of your people like to accompany us and search for these other people?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: I know it shouldn't be possible.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@Science: Prepare a sampling grid... ::Turns back to Torn Suu::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Did this man travel through some sort of temporal vortex?  I think we need Silver down here.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@Torn Suu: We will assist in anyway that we can.  Just let us know how you would like to proceed.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::continues to apply the cauterizer to keep the wounds as sealed as possible until the CMO can determine the source of the temporal flux::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: I don't know. *XO* the officer here. I can seal the wounds. The skin around the wounds seems to be in some sort of temporal flux. Be careful down there.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: grabs a dermal scanner ::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::relays the CMO's report to the XO to the Captain::
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: Laana Wei and myself are going to go into the ruins now, the rest of my people will begin packing up
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Is Lieutenant Silver still on the ship?  We could use someone from the science department down here sir.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Unless I can find out exactly the temporal signature of whatever creature attacked this man. We won't be able to close the wounds
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Takes one of the science tricorder and gear and slips it over her shoulder.  She then motions a tactical officer to join her.:: Torn Suu: Then I volunteer myself.  The others can start the preliminary work.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: I believe Lt Silver is. Please call for her stat.
Host Cmdr_Sutcliffe says:
COM: Luna: I will inform our teams to be on the lookout, meanwhile I suggest you keep plenty of security with your Away Team, just in case these aliens are not so friendly as they appear.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::drops the cauterizer on the table and peels off his rubber gloves::  *SO* Lynch to Silver.  Medical Emergency, please report to Sickbay.
EO_Michaels says:
@XO: Site is ready sir
Host Torn_Suu says:
@::bows slightly::: XO: Then let us go ::walks slowly, but with a fair turn of speed into the ruins, being followed by another Naheev that the XO can only assume is Laana Wei
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Looks up from the samples she had returned to work on.:: *MO*: I am on my way.  How might I be of assistance?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Turns the experiment back over to the lab tech::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
*SO* We have a member of the Atlas' crew down here in Sickbay.  He seems to have been attacked by some animal however, his wounds are in some form of temporal flux and will not close... they even get larger.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@:: With a long stride, follows.:: Torn Suu: You said you were packing up.  Then did you find what it was you were searching for?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::As the lift deposits her near sickbay, she ponders over the doctors analysis::

@ACTION: The XO is led down a narrow corridor that slopes steadily downwards, there are dim lights in the walls, which appear to have been carved into the moon

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Atlas: Agreed.  We will continue to monitor the situation, but I wish to continue on in approximately one half hour.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Stepping through the double glass doors, she heads in the direction a nurse points out to her and stops a slight distance away.::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::spots Silver::  SO: Glad you could get here so fast.  ::hands her a PADD containing the scans of the wounds::
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: We have been here for several months now, we have only to secure this facility again and collect some of our recording equipment.  So yes, we did find what we were looking for
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@Torn Suu: Can I ask what are will you leave that to our discovery? ::motions to the carvings::  Yours or your ancestors?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*EO*: Keep an eye on the general area and assist as needed with the set up of the sampling grids.
EO_Michaels says:
@:: Working on the site to make sure it is operational and secure
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@::Takes the pad and scans through it, a frown marring her brow.::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
Lt: Silver what is it?
EO_Michaels says:
@*XO*: Aye sir will do
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: You will see in a moment, I think you will find it is rather impressive
SO_Lt_Silver says:
CMO: One moment...
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Follows, taking recordings as she goes along, her eyes trying to take in everything at once.  It has been too long since she was able to do the work she had joined starfleet for.::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Finally looks up:: CMO: According to this, the wound is in a state of flux.  The cells are not able to replicate.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods waiting for options::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
SO: Any idea what could have caused this? anything from the animal or thing that attacked this man.

@ACTION: The tunnel suddenly opens up into a large circular room, there is a large indentation in the floor that contains a number of tiered levels set in a circular pattern, the ceiling however is something different, it is covered in a single sheet of bright green organic metal

SO_Lt_Silver says:
CMO: Animal?  Do you have samples of its saliva or any hairs?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
SO; and  suggestions on how to correct this would be appreciated.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Should be some form of it in the officer's wounds Commander.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
SO: No not that way have been able to find, but from our understanding that is what did this. We could be wrong.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ ::Walks in and around:: Torn Suu: Interesting... what exactly is it?  ::Looks down at her tricorder and back up.::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Try to see if you can find any samples stat
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::goes to scan the wounds for saliva or some form of non-human DNA::
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: It is a map.  Of what our race used to be.  Let me show you ::presses something on his wrist::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
CMO: Are you sure it was an animal?  Could it have been something else?  Perhaps he fell and then came into contact with some substance that disrupts living tissue.  ::frowns::  When you scanned him... you could read the entire individual, correct?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Watches::

@ACTION: The ceiling above the XO suddenly flairs and displays what is basically a map, although a map that covers an impossibly large section of the universe, the Milky Way galaxy can be seen in the middle.  Most of the map begins to glow green.

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
SO: Correct. Your hypothesis is entirely plausible. I'd love for you to work with us and figure out what happened.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: checks the chronometer ::  FCO: Commander, begin final preparations to break orbit and continue on our primary mission.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
CMO: If you will give me some samples, I will see what I can discover.
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: This was the extent of our race at the height of their power, then there was what we have called the war of feather and claw. ::looks up::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@Torn Suu: At one time your people roamed all of that area of space?  How is that we have never come across any evidence of your people?  That seems almost impossible...
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: takes a sample from one of the wounds and hands the sample to the SO: As fast as you can please. I don't know how much longer we can keep this man alive in this state.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::comes back to SO and the CMO::  CMO/SO: I've managed to removed some samples of non-human DNA  ::hands it to the CMO::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: Understood ::starts preparations to leave the orbit and get back to their original flight plan::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO/SO: This DNA appears to be impossibly complex in nature.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Watches::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
SO: I'm going to leave these samples to you to get working on.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::his mouth drops suddenly as he overlooks the scans::

@ACTION: The map changes, a small red "blob" appears in one of the covers and quickly moves to cover a good quarter of the map, little characters in a language the XO doesn't understand appear

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: Chief, run a quick diagnostic on our sensors and reload the sensor and defensive platform diagnostic programs.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: please if you can set up a field where we can keep the wounds sterile.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Nods and takes the samples::  MO: I will let you know what I have discovered.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Aye sir
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO/SO: You are not going to believe this....
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: What is it?
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: This was what happened at the height of the war, the number of dead was incalculable, then this happened.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
::Begins running the diagnostics and reloading the platform::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO/SO: Remember that cloning facility we were investigating?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@:: Points upward::  Torn Suu: War with whom?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Yes. Please don't tell me.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ Torn Suu: What exactly happened?  What is spreading?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Atlas: We depart in five minutes.  Have you made final preparations?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*XO*: We depart in five minutes.  Have you made final preparations?

@ACTION: The map changes again, the green pushes the red back into a tiny corner before the red completely vanishes, then all the green vanishes in a single go, apart from a few little spots here and there

SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Listening::

@ACTION: The map vanishes

MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods in the affirmative at the CMO::  CMO: That's right.... This DNA partly matches the DNA from that facility.  I think the Captain should have a word with Mr. MacPherson-Quest
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*CO*: We are good to go.  How long before you return?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: You have sickbay. I'm going to talk to the captain.
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: We do not know, that information we have not been able to find.  The Red was the enemy
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*CO* I need a word with you I will be on the bridge momentarily.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: The platform is ready sir ..sensors on line at 100%
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@Torn Suu: Your people do not know who the enemy was or what happened to end your empire?   Was it some kind of disease?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
SO: Can you believe that SFI run facility may be behind this in part as well?
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: And the sensor grid integrity is nominal
Host Cmdr_Sutcliffe says:
COM: Luna: We are going to need some more time captain, we will wait for our away team, if you wish to continue we will catch you up.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CMO*: Understood.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*XO* We have an issue.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: bolts out of sickbay and to the bridge ::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*CMO*: What kind of an issue?
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: We do not believe it was some sort of disease, we have been unable to find out exactly what it was however, most of the information was lost in the fall.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Shakes her head:: MO: How?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*XO* You know that cloning facility we investigated awhile back. Well some of the DNA in the wounds of the down officer partly match that DNA
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Refrains from frowning, disappointed.  The point of two vessels was to ensure mutual security for the ships ::  COM: Atlas: The intent of two vessels was to ensure our security.  We will not go far before you can catch up.  I will try to see that your officer is transferred to you from our Sickbay, as well.

@ACTION: At the XO's location the sound of particle weapons fire can be heard coming from not too far away, it appears to be getting closer.

MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
SO: They were conducting cloning tests on that station  ::gasps as he just realized something::  Actually... that black ship was behind the cloning of that station's personal.... but SFI did have a secret facility there...  I wonder if there is a connection?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: Arrives on the bridge :: CO: May I se you in your ready room ::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*CMO*: How would that be... :: Pauses to listen.::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ *EO*: What is going on out there?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*XO* I'm not sure. I'm recommending going to high security alert.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
SO: Do you think that green ship on the surface may be one in the same as that black ship?  Perhaps it's black in space as camouflage and therefore on a forest planet it's....
SO_Lt_Silver says:
MO: A type of camouflage?
Host Cmdr_Sutcliffe says:
COM: Luna: I understand Captain, but we do not want to leave our people behind, and given the current state of the "war" we think its highly unlikely this section of space will be attacked anytime soon.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CMO: It cannot be discussed in the open?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
Torn Suu: If you will excuse me... ::Turns to head back out.::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::taps badge::  *CMO* Doctor....  perhaps the ship on the surface IS the black ship from the cloning facility
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*MO* that thought crossed my mind to.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CO: No it cannot.

@ACTION: There is a scream and a federation officer literally flies through the air into the room containing the XO and the two Naheev, he lands heavily against the wall and is quite definitely dead

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*XO* What if that ship *IS* the black ship from the cloning facility.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Turning to leave she ducks as something comes flying over her head.  Her phaser comes out.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Looks between the doctor and the other CO::  COM: Atlas: Please stand by.  Luna out for the time being.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Stands ::  CMO: Alright, Commander.  :: Crosses to the Ready Room ::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*Away team*: We have an incident...
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: Walks in behind the CO ::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ ::Moves toward the officer carefully and quickly ascertains he is dead.::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*XO* I recommend extreme caution.

@ACTION: From the direction the deceased officer entered the room comes a tall figure, at least 7ft in height.  It is covered in a thick layer of black feathers, has a very threatening set of talons and the face that can only be described as a hawks

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Glancing at the two Naheev, she slowly moves toward the entry way only to pause, her eyes widening.::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CO: You know that cloning facility we were investigating awhile back? The DNA that was found in the officers wounds from the planet partially match that DNA.
EO_Michaels says:
@XO: Ah don't know Commander...Ah just don't know
Host Torn_Suu says:
@::moves to protect Laana Wei::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
CO: and the MO has surmised that the ship on the planet IS the black ship from the facility.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Lifts her phaser:: Alien: Stop where you are or I will fire.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::With sample in hand, she leaves to run some tests.::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::quietly::*CO*: Apparently, we are not the only two races on this planet.  I have another dead officer, not one of ours.

@ACTION: The beast speaks with a voice and drips malice: "You are no threat to me little human."  It takes two steps before lunging at the XO, a huge pair of wings extending to either side and giving him a burst of speed through the air.

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Without further thought, fires a continuous burst::

@ACTION: The shot strikes the creature square on the chest, but it keeps coming.
