"See if you can do something .. Use the Science station you'll have more luck from there .. But I want you back in that seat the instant the Captain or Exec' need to move us ..."
"Yes sir." Marcus moved to the Science station and started checking the systems and looked for a misalignment that someone not skilled in sensors or Operations would look for. Checking sensors on the main array he found nothing wrong. Checking the sensors on the Secondary array he found nothing either.
Marcus thought what would make the sensors fuzzy and not scanning correctly running a level 4 Diagnostic. ~ Level 4 Diagnostic will take 1 hour to complete~ The computer informed him. Marcus was going to try and beat the computer and check to see if the connection to the ship when it spits worked.
Marcus moves over to the Mission Operations brings up a simulation on the screen about when the ship splits using multi vector assault mode. The screen flashed Simulation incomplete. Checking the system Marcus looked at the system in shock.~Sim incomplete~ Marcus wondered no one tested that little scenario when they tested the ship.
Marcus went back to the Science station and checked the scan and found it was almost done he found that computer may have found the same thing. Moving over to Commander Tan "Commander i believe i found it. The problem appears to be in the multi vector assault mode command computer."

After leaving the bridge Jack went to his quarters to start gathering his personal effects to place in his office as nothing seemed to be happening at the moment he thought now was as good a time as any. After placing the photograph of his late wife on his desk and looking around the room he sighed something was still missing he thought about placing a small plant in the room to fill in some of the space and add some needed colour but that could wait until later. Jack was about to start reading the medical files for the ships crew something that was going to take hours when his commbadge activated and he heard.
=/\=Commander Rose to Doctor Crane. An away team is going down to search for the archaeologists, I want some medical support; especially barring in mind that communication. Who would you recommend?=/\=
Jack looked at his computer screen and shuddered at the amount of boring reading he had to do and though going on an away mission was the perfect reason to put it off until later. He tapped his commbadge and replied.
=/\= I can spare myself the rest of my staff are a little busy at the moment=/\=
Commander Rose replied.
=/\=Very well then, transporter room 1 in ten minutes.=/\=
Jack stood up and walked out of his office and into sickbay he looked around and saw Dr. Hall and walked over to him and said.
“I am going to the planets surface sickbay is yours” Dr hall nodded and Jack picked up a medical kit and a regular tricorder and phaser and placed them into their holsters on his waist. As he entered the transporter room Jack saw a few marines and their leader Lieutenant Shuarak. Jack smiled as he saw him and said.
“I’ve never felt more protected in my life lieutenant”
<Tag Lt Shuarak>
After a moment Commander Rose entered the room exactly on time for the ten minute deadline ‘Impeccable timing’ Jack thought to himself. As he took his place on the transporter padd Jack looked down and made sure he had not forgotten anything and smiled as he saw he hadn’t he hoped that the archeologists were okay but if they weren’t he was not going to be unprepared.

[limegreen]Jack stood up and walked out of his office and into sickbay he looked around and saw Dr. Hall and walked over to him and said.

As he entered the transporter room Jack saw a few marines and their leader Lieutenant Shuarak. Jack smiled as he saw him and said.
“I’ve never felt more protected in my life lieutenant”[/limegreen]
Turning to the Lieutenant, the Marine Captain began to review the PaDD he had laid in his hands as well as talking to the Lt.
“Well, I wanted to make extra sure we weren’t getting ourselves in any danger, so a marine unit is what we need in this precaution, in this mission, this is what kinda detail is necessary.” The Marine lt nodded.
Then reviewing the PaDD he began to read. “Priority one trasmission, Congratulations from Starfleet Command, we hereby promote you to Marine Captain for exemplary marks in marine skills back at the academy, it is under which, we have given orders to the captain to give you the new rank. As of now you are hereby a Marine Captain.”
Understanding of the orders, the andorian looked spell bounded and was about to jump into the air, but withstood his emotions further, and took out the box that accompanied it. Inside was his new rank. Pulling out the Marine Captain insignia, he placed the rank firmly upon his right side collar.
Wearing it he was proud to be a new marine captain and was firm on now accomplishing the mission as he ever was. Responding back to Lt Crane he was interested in finding out where he might be going.
“I’ve just been promoted to Marine Captain by Starfleet Command, and inside the box that I opened it held my rank. So you coming along for the mission?” Zhurak replied.

Jack watched as the marine read the PADD and noticed a smile form across the Andorians face ‘good news’ Jack thought to himself as the marine opened a small box and took out some Marine captains bars. He placed them on his right collar and almost immediately seemed to stand up taller and straighter. The marines behind Shuarak were also standing very rigid this made Jack feel about two feet tall, Shuarak looked at Jack and said proudly.
“I’ve just been promoted to Marine Captain by Starfleet Command, and inside the box that I opened it held my rank. So you coming along for the mission?”
Jack smiled and held out his hand and said as Shuarak shook it.
“Well let me be the first to congratulate you Captain, and yes I am going on the mission I don’t know much about it actually only that we are going to the planets surface to look for the archeologists”
as Jack finished he saw Commander Rose standing near the door talking to the transporter chief she then looked up and asked if everyone was ready Captain Shuarak said yes and Commander Rose got on the platform and then Jack felt the familiar tug of a transporter beam and the surroundings of the transporter room disappeared….

The away team assembled with far more marines than Crystal felt was necessary given that this was an uninhabited planet but then she wasn't professionally paranoid. At least not yet. Any way she had left the decision to him, so she couldn't really complain. They beamed down to the site of the archaeologists' camp.
A small group of tents and prefab huts stood in the cleared area of the grassland surrounding the largest group of ruins. Where the grass hadn't been cleared hit came past Crystal's waist. The nearest part of the cave system was about five kilometers away but in the slightly less than Earth gravity it would be quite an easy walk. Crystal looked around the area quickly and then started towards the largest of the huts. Glancing in through the doorway it was easy to see that this had once been a computer center but now everything was smashed and strewn around.
"Captain Shuarak, This area needs to be swept for traces of the occupants or what happened to them. Particularly evidence of Romulan involvement."
Tag: Captain Shuarak
"Lieutenat Erikson if you can get any of that going again we might be able to get some more information from their records." Tonja nodded in response and checking the hut out carefully entered and set to work. Crystal was not surprise to see that one of the marines had been sent to look after her.
Crystal looked at the doctor. "For the moment I think you and I could be best employed by going through the living area and then anything at the dig site."

Arriving on the planet, Zhurak quickly began to call his team out in the pursuit to get them antiquated with the area, he wanted them ready and able. A marine was willing to put there lives before there own Starfleet members, because it was there sworn protection to uphold a duty which marines were fond of.
“2nd Lt Yazvar spread out to the surrounding area, which your weapons off, and scan the area, we need to start looking.” the marine captain ordered his men as he watched the 2nd lt nod in affirment.
“Hopefully this will be a piece of cake, but I don’t wanna be to hasty while we are here, this area is unfamiliar to me, and with the crew available and the information that I have we will need to be watchful.” Marine Captain Shuarak motioned.
While pulling out his scanner he began to do a overall view of the area, wanting to pick up traces of anything that might come up.
[limegreen] "Captain Shuarak, This area needs to be swept for traces of the occupants or what happened to them. Particularly evidence of Romulan involvement." [/limegreen]
“Yes Commander, I will make sure my team and I will search the area, if anything comes up you’ll be the first to know.” the andorian marine captain replied.
After talking with the Commander, Zhurak watched as his marines were moving about with there scanners open and there weapons off, they were busy keeping there minds on the area, watching any slight moves. There were watchful as much as he was and has battle training too.
“2nd Lt Yazvar anything come up on scanners yet, we will need something on to work upon soon” zhurak replied.
“Yes Captain, im doing my best right now with the scanner we have, it isn’t that intensive of a scanner. If we had a more intensive scan of the area, maybe we might be pulling some information up.” 2nd Lt Yazvar.
“All you need to do is amplify the energy output of the scanner by 50% and that should get you more scanning frequency.” Zhurak motioned.
“That helped a lot Captain, im getting some new readings now, according to the information I have we have results of romulan equipment laying around in the hut nearby.”
“That is plenty to work on Lt, thank you.” the marine captain looked surprised at the lt’s answer.
“Commander Rose we got some readings on the nearby hut, with some romulan equipment, I think you should have a look.” Zhurak replied.

Crystal looked at the doctor. "For the moment I think you and I could be best employed by going through the living area and then anything at the dig site."
Jack turned away from looking at the view of the landscape and said to Commander Rose.
"Yes Ma'am"
As Jack and Commander Rose walked into the hut that seved as living area for the archeologists Jack was taken aback by the level of mess Jacks eyes immediatly spotted a small dried stain of blood on one of the over turned chairs Jack walked over to it and pulled the medical tricorder out of its holster on his waist. As Jack scanned the blood he noticed Commander Rose look down at it and Jack said.
"It is not a mortal wound there isn't enough blood I can tell you it is human I won't be able to tell you when it happened until I can send a sample back to the ship for analyis"
<Tag Commander Rose>
Jack continued to look around the room noticing drawers opened and belongings strewn across the floor Jack turned to Commander Rose who was looking at a computer that had a broken screen and said.
"It looks like the Romulans where looking for something and by the looks of it the archeologists wern't co-operative"
<Tag Commander Rose>
after Commander Rose answered Jacks statement her Comm badge activated and Captain Shuarak said.
“Commander Rose we got some readings on the nearby hut, with some romulan equipment, I think you should have a look.”

Jack followed Commander Rose out of the hut and followed her to where Captain Shuarak and his team where.

Crystal nodded and headed for the turbolift. As she passed Lieutenant Huebner, she paused. "Much as I would like to have you on my away team as well, but by setting up the detection grid and the torpedo modifications you've made yourself too useful here." She smiled
Huebner blushed deeply and managed to stammer "Thannk yyou Commander." He quickly turned back to his console, hoping no one noticed how red his face got.
After the Away team had left for the planet's surface Huebner continued his scanning for the cloaked Romulan vessel. Suddenly two pips appeared on his screen, blinking his eyes and double checking his readings he said, "Captain, I have located a possible contact for the Romulan vessel. Unfortunately according to my readings there appear to be TWO Romulan vessels. They are about 5000 Kilometers off the port bow, bearings 285 mark 2 and bearing 278 mark 6. Due to the nature of the detection grid I am sure that they know we have detected them."

Marcus heard this and moved from Commander tan's side and headed for the helm. He wanted to be there in case the Captain ordered a course change. Marcus slide in the helm chair and scanned the console. As he brings up the sensor grid and saw the same reading.
One thing bothered him one blip wasn't moving at all. Strange he moved to the secondary sensors and scanned the area the blip jumped. Running the scan again Marcus saw the blip move again and in moved more. Ok scanner malfuctiion. Moving to the controls he waited for the captain to give the order

Aboard the IRW Erkana
Tanara was working away quietly, Commander Danath's temper had not improved and she did not want to draw his wrath. She had also noted that his first officer was staying out of the Commander's way. The IRW T'vana had arrived and Commander Voreth was senior to Danath...
Tanara's ears were still ringing from the dressing down Commander Danath had received. the high note of which had been "How dare you take prisoners, we don't want the Federation to have any reason to think there is ANYTHING of interest out here". Commander Voreth had then ordered the two ships to head towards the Federation starship. Tanara was sure their Taychon net would have detected them by now. She hoped no one would start shooting. She was an imperial officer and willing to die to do her duty but she would like to know what she was dying for.
**************************************************
On the planet Ganash III
Crystal and Doctor Crane were looking and the scattered debris in what had been one of the archaeologist's living quarters. As she surveyed the scene, he went forwards to examine something that she hadn't noticed. Crystal took a couple of steps and looked at what the Doctor was scanning. The small brownish patch looked very ominous.
"It is not a mortal wound there isn't enough blood I can tell you it is human I won't be able to tell you when it happened until I can send a sample back to the ship for analysis"
Crystal nodded. "Do that, and make sure they get back to you when they have the results." Doctor Crane made the arrangements. Crystal looked around. The scattered clothing suggested that the occupant of this building had been female and human blood suggested Simone Taylor. They couldn't know for sure until the full results came back and hopefully that would not take long.
"It looks like the Romulans where looking for something and by the looks of it the archaeologists weren't co-operative"
"It looks that way, the question is what were they looking for and did they find it?"
Crystal's comm badge chirped before she could speculate further.
=/\=Commander Rose we got some readings on the nearby hut, with some romulan equipment, I think you should have a look.=/\=
She recognised the voice of the Andorian marine. =/\=On my way=/\= Crystal replied and then closed the comm link. She and the doctor headed to where the marines were waiting.
With a rising feeling a resignation Crystal asked "So what have you found?"

Commander Voreth was leading his ships forward, he could not believe how reckless Commander Danath had been, now he had to make up for it and convince that federation ship to leave them in peace.

[Ganash III]
While the marines were separated into there groups, Zhurak was interested into the material that had been laid in the hut it had been of Romulan in origin, Walking in he saw a disruptor and engineering case firmly laid on the desk, next to a chair and a bed inside the hut. Browsing through the items with a stance back in the case it were rigged with explosive material, zhurak took a careful look and found the disruptor hadn’t been touched for days, and the engineering case had been used, but only once.
“Why would a Engineering group be stationed on Ganash III, and what would they have to use only a small supliment of what they had in there case. That’s what intrigues me, these romulans are sneaky.” Zhurak replied.
Grabbing the disruptor he wipped the dust off of it and looked over the energy that had been left in the gun. It had been used only for testing and only a little bit of energy had been used from conclusive evidence by scanner.
“Interesting, So the disruptor that the romulans used was only for testing purposes and the gear was to amplify the setting on the gun.” Zhurak motioned.
“Commander Rose, what I can conclusively say about the weapon and the equipment laid here was that a engineering group had been through here maybe a month or two ago, and had used it to advance the weapons properties, I don’t know why, I leave that up to you to decide the reason.” Zhurak explained briefly.
Walking back out of the hut, he walked to his marines and gathered them together.
“Troup, I need you to start doing a routine inspection of the area, whatever you find, report it to me so I can then report it to Commander Rose, is that understood.” Zhurak motioned then heard his group nod and move out quickly
“Commander Rose my group is dispatched and I will keep you notified of anything new, for now, I will continue my scans.” Shuarak patiently waited for the commander’s firm reply.

David kept an open Comm link to Commander Rose .. With the Romulans in attendance, the last thing he wanted was the Exec' to vanish along with the others ..
"Status report Commander." the Captain said from his chair.
"The away-team reported finding Romulan equipment." David said, checking his board for the transcript, "They're making their way to Captain Shuarak and his team now."
Steven nodded, then tapped his Comms badge ..
=^= Captain to Rose =^=
=^= Rose Sir =^=
=^= Use caut ..... =^= he began to say, but was interrupted by Lieutenant Markus, =^= Stand by Commander =^=
"Mr Markus ?"
"Captain .. I have located a possible contact for the Romulan vessel .. Unfortunately according to my readings there appear to be TWO !. They are about 5000 Kilometers off the port bow .. Bearings 285 mark 2 and 278 mark 6 .. Due to the nature of the detection grid I am sure that they know we have detected them."
=^= Crystal .. We have company up here .. Much closer than I'd like .. We have locked on to your comm signal and will beam you back without warning if necessary .. Captain out =^=
As the Comm closed, Tan duplicated the Science stations readings on the Tactical panel and moved over there .. He would need to keep a close eye on those vessels ..........

Huebner began mentally preparing tactics for use against the Romulan vessels, but his mind quickly drifted away. He began thinking of his family, his wife and two children, hoping that he would make it through the turmoil that was about to occur. Though a Tactical Officer through and through, Huebner disliked using violence to resolve problems and he hoped that the crew would be able to reach a peaceful solution to the current dilemma. Though violence was often not the best option, it is always was still an option. That was one of the reasons he had trained to be a Tactical Officer. His confidence was bolstered as he thought of the great crew of the Olympia. Though he had only been aboard a short time he was pleased with how well the crew got on and his confidence in them grew each and every hour, they were definitely a special crew. If anyone could make it through this mission they would be able to. Letting his confidence take over he shoved the lump of fear that always accompanied any mission aside and returned to his duties.
"Captain, sensors show that at this time the Romulan ships are holding position. I believe that historically, cloaked vessels have been vulnerable in the first few seconds after decloaking. I have currently plotted a course of fire that may be able to render them inoperative for a short period, specifically targeting their engine and power systems using beam weapons to prevent as much collateral damage as possible. Of course I won't implement this plan unless you give the order, Sir."
Looking back to his console his mind wandered again, thinking of his comrades, no, FRIENDS, down on the planet's surface. Wondering how they were faring he looked back on their short time together, hoping that no one would get hurt.

Dr. Jack Crane had followed Commander Rose to where Captain Shuarak was and listened as Shuarak explained what equipment he had found, after the short conversation Commander Rose’s Comm. Badge activated and Captain Smith informed her that they had Company and that the team should be ready for emergency extraction.
Captain Shuarak walked away continuing his scans just as Jack’s Comm. Badge activated.
=^= Dr. Hall here sir we have finished the analysis on the blood sample you sent us it has been there for aproximatley three weeks it also had traces of exypolimene from what I can tell she got a large dose of it I will contact you if I find anything else Hall out. =^=
Jack sighed as he turned to Commander Rose who had heard the conversation Jack looked at her for a moment before explaining what he was just told.
“Exypolomine is the Romulan version of sodium pentothal in laymen’s terms it is truth serum from what I know it is a rare thing to get your hands on the Romulans only use it rarely whatever they wanted to know they wanted to know it badly”
<Tag Commander Rose>
“I also must say that if too much is used in a short period of time there is a good chance of the victim developing permenant mental problems the least of witch is hallucinations I must stress if we find her in that condition there will be nothing I can do to cure her we can only hope she wasn’t exposed to multiple doses”
<Tag Commander Rose>
Jack followed Commander Rose into the next hut and they both went to work scanning and examining the rooms contents witch were just as damaged as the lasts but Jack could tell this room belonged to a Bajoran because of the small shrine to the prophets witch had been torn apart and left strewn across the left side of the hut Jack moved over and propped the small candle back to its proper position. Jack then continued with his scans waiting for either Commander Rose to give an Order Or Captain Smith order they return to the ship.

It was interesting how much information and gear that had been left in one hut, and what might be left in another, zhurak was meaning to find out what exactly he mind find in the others as well, it was turning out to be like the romulans wanted the Starfleet personnel to know exactly what had been happening on ganash and interesting as it was a away team with minimal scanning supplies and medical gear, had what was needed to carry just that task. While the marines were scattered among the huts and zhurak was intently looking over the material he had found. He had noticed that doctor crane and commander rose had picked up something as well, heading to there location he was anxious to find out.
“So what have you guys found?” Zhurak questioned as by turning around the corner looking into the hut that both crane and rose had occupied, it had turned out that bajoran equipment had been laid around and torn up.
“Interesting so you say that bajoran prophets had left stuff here, and now the romulans had investigated here not log ago, this is looking very odd for some intel operation. I wonder what these romulans will think of next.” Zhurak replied.
Walking out of the hut, he motioned to all the marines to huddle up and start there military drills, and perform protocol operations before leaving the scene of detail.
“I want you guys looking good for the captain you hear me, while we have just found bajoran equipment on top of romulan engineering gear, you all need to conduct yourselves and keep in shape. And stay on the look out, if anything comes out in the open, keep and eye on it, and inform me about it immediately.” Zhurak queried.
It was turning out to be that the away team was now going to wait to leave the scene, but who knew, it may turn out that romulans would show and start a ruckus.

Steve was taken aback at the announcement of a second Romulan ship and jumped out of his chair, staring at the viewscreen. That in itself was a futile thing to do as he wouldn't have been able to see one cloaked ship, let alone two. One ship alone could be easily handled, but two? Two would be much more trickier. As far as he was concerned, having a second ship pull up could only mean something bad.
He was preparing to hear that the ships were de-cloaking and ready to fire....but that announcement didn't come, so he sat back down. Although it was only a few seconds before he was being spoken to by Mr Huebner:
"Captain, sensors show that at this time the Romulan ships are holding position. I believe that historically, cloaked vessels have been vulnerable in the first few seconds after de-cloaking. I have currently plotted a course of fire that may be able to render them inoperative for a short period, specifically targeting their engine and power systems using beam weapons to prevent as much collateral damage as possible. Of course I won't implement this plan unless you give the order, Sir."
"Thank you, Joel." Steve replied, still seated. "For now, they do not appear to be doing anything out of the ordinary, so I do not think your plan needs to be used....at least not at this precise moment. But keep it in mind, we may need it later!"
Steve then got up and walked up to David, placing an arm on his chair. "David, see if you can find out anything else from your scans about what those ships could be up to. I want to know why they are just hanging back even though they now outnumber us."

"David .. See if you can find out anything else from your scans about what those ships could be up to .. I want to know why they are just hanging back even though they now outnumber us."
Tan re-checked his readings, but there was nothing to see .. There were two Romulan vessels shadowing the Olympia. They didn't seem in any hurry to make the confrontation any more than posturing. That worried David, and he was sure it worried the Captain too ..
As he checked the ship's again, he noticed something for the first time ...... The warp signatures for the two ship's differed !
"Captain .. There's something here."
Steven, who hadn't moved, looked down at Tan's screen .. Yes there was something ..
"I can't be one hundred percent sure Sir." Tan continued, "But I'd say that ONE of those ships wasn't Romulan .. It is doing one 'hell' of a job convincing us and I'm curious to know if it is convincing the other ship too."
"Can we get a visual yet ?" the Captain said, moving closer to the massive view-screen ..
"No Sir .. David said, moving to the Science station, "But even if we did have a view .. Both ships would look identical .. They are both D'deridex Class vessels .. But I'm certain .. Or as sure as I can be at this range .. That one of them has been .. Modified .. Beyond Romulan capability."
Steven looked at the image of the planet below them. His away-team were down there, but he NEEDED to know about those ships out there .. It was a simple issue .. Romulan's would never hesitate to attack the Olympia, but there was a distinct possibility that 'one' of those ships wasn't totally Romulan ...
David watched his Captain, knowing exactly what was going through his mind .. His need, no, desire, to find out about the ships, and his need to protect his crew. Especially those on the surface ! ..........

Crystal looked at the equipment that the marines had found. Most of made some sort of sense to her but overall it just worried her. "Commander Rose, what I can conclusively say about the weapon and the equipment laid here was that a engineering group had been through here maybe a month or two ago, and had used it to advance the weapons properties, I don’t know why, I leave that up to you to decide the reason."
Crystal nodded "This could well be what they didn't want us to find. Do a detailed scan and sent the details back to engineering, science and tactical. I want to know what this thing can do." Captain Shuarak acknowledged the order and set to work. Crystal stepped back outside the hut.
=^= Crystal .. We have company up here .. Much closer than I'd like .. We have locked on to your comm signal and will beam you back without warning if necessary .. Captain out =^= Crystal acknowledged and then closed the channel. She sighed deeply and passed the word on to the rest of the away team. The Romulans were quite obviously up to something and had been for a while.
Her musings on the subject were interruped when the doctor recieved a page from the ship.
=^= Dr. Hall here sir we have finished the analysis on the blood sample you sent us it has been there for aproximatley three weeks it also had traces of exypolimene from what I can tell she got a large dose of it I will contact you if I find anything else Hall out. =^=
Crystal looked at the doctor waiting for a translation of the chemical term which she didn't recognise, it felt strange to be the one needing an explaination rather than giving it but then since becoming an FO she had been so far out of her comfort zone that one more thing hardly mattered.
“Exypolomine is the Romulan version of sodium pentothal in laymen’s terms it is truth serum from what I know it is a rare thing to get your hands on the Romulans only use it rarely whatever they wanted to know they wanted to know it badly”
"The question is did whoever they used it on know what they wanted to know?" She sighed again, wishing she could get on with an investigation on her own.
“I also must say that if too much is used in a short period of time there is a good chance of the victim developing permenant mental problems the least of witch is hallucinations I must stress if we find her in that condition there will be nothing I can do to cure her we can only hope she wasn’t exposed to multiple doses”
"That might explain the communication," Crystal said, guessing that the doctor had all ready worked that bit out.
They went over to the next hut, Doctor Crane picked up a candle and replaced it in a small wall shrineoot. Crystal looked around and started scanning the debris.
"Commander?" Crystal looked round, unsurprised to see Tonja in the doorway. From the way the younger woman was hopping from foot to foot she was very excited about something.
"So what have you got lieutenant?" Crystal asked
"The logs from the expedition have been mostly wiped, about 21 days ago from what I can tell, however...." she paused for dramatic effect "I've managed to reconstruct most of logs and it seems that some unusual energy readings were found in the cave system and they went to investigate. There the logs stop...
"Get the location of the energy readings and as much infomation as they had on them. Upload the logs to the Olympia, they can finish the reconstruction."
Tonja headed off. Crystal stepped outside the hut and tapped her comm badge. =/\=Commander Rose to Olympia, you should be receiveing the archeology team's logs and some information on some Romulan technology. We've nearly finished the survey of the campsite. Our next move will probably be to investigate the cave system.=/\=
Tag: someone on the Olympia
Crystal had been pacing while she talked and had turned her back on the grassland surrounding the campsite. She therefore didn't notice the line approaching her through the waist high grass. She closed the comm channel started to head back to the doctor.
Suddenly Crystal found herself laying face down on the ground with a growling sounding in her ears and a set of very sharp claws digging into her shoulder. Obviously she had forgotten about the dominant lifeform around here...
Crystal's adrenaline was spiking and she couldn't yet feel the pain she was sure she should be in. The weight of the cat on her back stopped her getting up. She heard the sound of the phaser fire and the weight vanished.

Commander Voreth sighed. He wasn't looking forward to this. Open hailing frequencies to the federation ship. He said.

Huebner roused himself from his reflection and decided to quickly check the status of all the ships tactical systems. After a few minutes he noticed that the Multi-Vector Assault Mode seemed to be inoperative.
"Damn" he thought to himself. "I checked that system myself before we left station. I wonder what happened?"
"Captain, In preparation for the potential conflict I ran a quick diagnostic and discovered that the Multi-Vector Assault Mode is not only off-line, but I am unable to access the controls from this station."
Smith replied, "How exactly did this happen Lieutenant?"
Turning his attention back to his console he checked the logs for a record of when the system may have gone off-line. After a quick search he discovered that the system had been remotely accessed, by one of the cloaked vessels! How in the... did that happen.
"Captain, I have discovered that one of the cloaked vessels has somehow gained access to at least some of our systems. No other Tactical systems are affected at this time. Commander Tan, if you could assist me in a little programming work, we may be able to bring the system back on-line and prevent any further "hacking incursions"."
Smith responded quickly, "Lieutenant, do what you have to do to get us back on-line as quickly as possible."

"Captain .. I have discovered that one of the cloaked vessels has somehow gained access to at least some of our systems .. No other Tactical systems are affected at this time .. Commander Tan ....." Heubner said, hoping the Operations Chief could help, "If you could assist me in a little programming work we may be able to bring the system back on-line and prevent any further 'hacking incursions'."
Smith responded quickly, as David adjusted his console to duplicate Joel's readings, "David .. Lieutenant .. Do what you have to do to get us back on-line as quickly as possible !"
As the two men worked, Tan kept a close eye on his readings of the so called 'Romulan' ships .. He still couldn't figure out why they were simply sitting out there, letting the Olympia run scan after scan. Surely they must know that their 'secret' was going to be discovered. But then a thought occurred to him .. 'they want us to know' !
Tan watched Heubner as he began to re-program several systems. David was shocked that the other ship had even gained access to the Olympias' systems. That could only normally be done by using the ship's Command Access Code, not something given out on a daily basis .. Things were taking too long, not Heubner's fault, but the programming was simply beyond his, or Tans, capability .. He tapped his Comms badge ..
=^= Commander Tan to Engineering =^=
=^= Engineering .. Lieutenant K'noor =^=
=^= Lieutenant .. Get someone up to the Bridge immediately .. The MVAM systems have been tampered with from an 'external' source =^=
=^= I'll get someone there right now Commander .. Engineering out =^=
Joel nodded, he was going to be grateful for the help in this, as Tan suspected, it was a little beyond his expertise .. He set-up a shield harmonic to prevent any further 'intrusions' into the Olympias' computers, then waited for the Engineering Technician ..
Tan again began to watch the two ship's closely as the Comm came to life ...
=^= This is Commander Voreth of the IRW T'vana to the USS Olympia .. I request a correspondence with your captain to discuss our mutual misunderstanding =^=
Steven looked at Tan, who simply shrugged ... Maybe they were going to get answers sooner than they thought ..........

As Commander Rose spoke to a crewmember at the door to the hut Jack continued with his scans.
Commander Rose walked out of the hut as she spoke to the Olympia crew over the Comm. Channel Jack hoped that the situation wouldn’t reach the point of a battle but knew he should be ready for anything, Jack paused his scanning and just stood there looking down at his hand he saw the shine of his wedding ring on his right hand he had switched its position a few months ago but he couldn’t bring himself to take it off completely.
Jack said. “Next week would have been our anniversary I wish you were still here”
Jack looked back up and wiped his eyes before taking a deep breath and telling himself to snap out of it Jack then walked out of the huts door and saw Commander Rose walking back towards him in deep grass but just out of nowhere a large cat like creature jumped up and Commander rose fell and all that Jack could see was the tip of the cat that had pinned her down.
Without hesitation Jack dropped his med kit from his hand and pulled out his phaser took aim and fired at the cat the phaser beam hit the cat dead on and Jack saw it fall off and then get back up and run off.
Jack grabbed his med kit and ran to Commander Rose who he saw had six claw marks that had ripped small holes in her uniform and had given some pretty nasty cuts.
Jack put his hand on Commander Rose’s back as she tried to get up and said.
“Just let be treat these cuts please before you get up”
<Tag Commander Rose> Jack used his dermal regenerator on the cuts and they healed he then got a hypospray that would kill any infections she may have got from the cats claws and injected it into Commander Roses arm.
“You can get up now Commander”
Jack said as he grabbed her arm to steady her as she got up.

Walking around Zhurak was doing his normal marine drills and maintenance of his squad watching them and looking around to see that they were conducting themselves in a official manner. “Marines, keep on the lookout while we are here until we transport out of here, it looks like we may be here for a while. Until then conduct drills and perform scans of the area.” Zhurak motioned then listened in on doctor crane as he was speaking with himself in the shrine located in the hut nearby.
[limegreen] “Next week would have been our anniversary I wish you were still here” [/limegreen] Wondering about this Zhurak took a closer look into the conversation and peeled around the corner as watching him but then heard a noise from the corner.
It had turned out that commander rose had been hit by a huge cat, life that was existent in these regions, zhurak took notice of its claws and its body, but then pulled out his phaser that he had attached to his belt and fired on the unarmed cat as it bit into commander rose. As he shot, Doctor crane shot as well, with two shots in different directions the cat was killed immediately and Zhurak felt like the menace was over with.
Thinking to himself “What in andor, this seems to be invested with animals, and live creatures all about, I better get marine squads out on the double.” Zhurak then watched as the doctor healed commander rose, and approached the two seeing if they needed assistance.
“Commander Rose are you alright, it would seem that the jungles in this region of the planet are bound with animal and plant life worthy of notice, I would seek caution, for now, im going to let my marine squad patrol the area for anything that might arise.” Zhurak replied.
“Marines spread out in two waves on the double, I want this area scanned and watched constantly if you see any animal life that tends to be jumpy you do not fire until provoked and you will notify me first.” Zhurak motioned then gave the marines the order.
“Commander the marine squad has been dispersed It would be best that you stay with doctor crane until then I will stay nearby, but I want to stay with my marines to keep a close proximity with them so that I can proceed with the scans of the area.” Zhurak replied.
As Zhurak had made the preparations he then moved out into the vast jungle of ganash III with his squad.

The weight of the cat vanished from her back and Crystal started to get to her feet, she could feel the spots where it's claws had got through her uniform. It hurt. Although to be fair not as much as the self defense training she had put herself through last shore leave.
Jack grabbed his med kit and ran to Commander Rose who he saw had six claw marks that had ripped small holes in her uniform and had given some pretty nasty cuts.
She felt a hand on her back, stopping her rise. “Just let be treat these cuts please before you get up” Crystal recognised the Doctor's voice and stayed still. There was no point in arguing with medical staff, at least most of the time, upsetting someone and then expecting them to patch youup was just silly. Besides, she didn't make a habit of requiring medical attention, although maybe that had changed now she was out of her nice safe lab.
"Go on then, Doctor." Crystal replied. She heard the whirring of a an instrument being run across her shoulders and the pain lessened. Until all that was left behind was the sort-of-ache that was her body's response to an injury that had been healed so fast it hadn't been able to keep up. A hypospray hiss against her shoulder.
“You can get up now Commander” Doctor Crane caught her arm as she got to her feet. "Thanks." she replied. It seemed that both Doctor Crane and Captain Shuarak had shot the cat, she thanked the marine as well. If Crystal remembered her reading correctly they were supposed to be pack hunters so there were probably more of them around.
She dusted off her knees and keeping one wary eye on the grasses addressed the other officers.
"Do either of you feel there's anything more we can accomplish here, if not then we can try the caves." She wasn't going to let a little thing like being attacked by a cat put her off when there was an investigation to be done.

After Commander Rose had been healed and stood up and Captain Shuarak had ordered his marines to keep extra vigilant becuase of the native animals of this world, Commander Rose asked if Dr Crane and Captain Shuarak if they had any objections to heading for the caves. Before Captain Shuarak said anything Jack turned to him and asked.
“Which one of your marines is the best field medic?” <Tag Shuarak> “With your consent I would like him and another marine to remain here and use this medical tricorder to scan for any left over items or chemicals the Romulans could have used on the team that was stationed here”
<Tag Shuarak>
Jack handed Captain Shuarak a tricorder out of the medical kit an Captain Shuarak walked a few metres to two marines who were walking around the perimetre of the site and gave one the tricorder and they moved off in the direction in the huts. As Captain Shuarak walked back Jack turned to Commander Rose and said.
“I am ready to go when you are Ma’am”
The three senior officers walked slightly in front of the reamining marines who were following them towards the caves Jack couldn’t help but over hear thier speculating about what happened down here and Jack liked non of the suggestions. Jack couldn’t help but think of his medical staff on the Olympia he hardly knew them he hadn’t had the chance to speak with over half of them yet but still he had read most of thier records and was already immensly proud to be working with them although he was still a little worried about bieng the one they turn to make medical decisions, a second later a scarier thought crossed his mind the captain would be relying on him to make medical decisions. Jack snapped out of it when he remembered that he should be on the look out for more hungry animals.

On the bridge of the Olympia, Steve Smith was NOT a happy person. Somehow, someone had managed to override the ship's MVAM controls and render the entire system offline. Until it could be worked on and fixed, it would mean that in the event of a firefight, it would be two enemy ships against the Olympia.
That wasn't as bad as it could be though, because the Oly could still hold her own, so even if she were unable to separate, she was still a force to be reckoned with.
This far, no progress had been made...THAT was what was annoying Steve. Commander Tan had ordered an engineer up to the bridge to aid in the effort, and Steve hoped it would be fixed very soon. Obviously, the sooner the better.
Before the engineer had time to get to the bridge, a voice sounded over the comms:
=/\=This is Commander Voreth of the IRW T'vana to the USS Olympia. I request a correspondence with your captain to discuss our mutual misunderstanding.=/\=
Steve had the feeling that enough was enough.
=/\= This is Captain Smith here. Mutual understanding Commander? I'll tell you what I want to discuss. I want to know why you are still holding Federation citizens hostage aboard your vessel. And more to the point, why are there now TWO vessels cloaked? =/\=
