: : : : It also showed that there was some form of energy reading at the bulkhead, though it was not one that was identified as having a defined source. It was just there.
: : : :
: : : : The panel itself appeared utterly lifeless, though there was an energy emanating from the bulkhead in general. A brief, but faint light passed across the center 'window' in the bulkhead, then was gone.
: : : :
: : : : Life scans at this proximity would show the life signs beyond the bulkhead to be stronger - different species though the tricorders were still foiled for better readings. As well another group of life signs came up - beyond the first. Mixed species and perhaps 40m ahead.

: : : : IC: Sharon studied Kenny's readings over his shoulder. "Similar to T'Kon technology?" she read aloud. She attempted to recall anything she had learned about this race during her time at the Academy, although it wasn't much. "I seem to remember that they were an incredibly powerful race that had telepathic abilities," she commented. "Does anyone have anything else to add about them?"
: : : :
: : : : Sharon then noticed Terrik studying the small 'window' in the centre of the bulkhead. She moved to join him. "You might be onto something here, Doctor," she said with a smile, running her own hand over the window in an attempt to clear it and then moving her face close to it to see if she could peer through to the other side.
: : :
: : : Indeed Sharon was able to see through. After a bit of grime got wiped off from the long years she could see, well, a mess. Stone boulders were in a cavern of sorts. Some broken support beams and evident tangles of girders was noted as well. She could not see the ceiling. And what was perhaps of keen note was that whatever the transparent material it was almost like it acted as a night vision scope - she could see clearly through it like it was a nearly lit room.
: : :
: : : What she could see above that was what might be surprising. To her right she could see some suited figures - Orion by the look of them. Four of them with two horta. The horta were free. To her left she could see a slightly burning glow in the stone of the wall - a moment later the stone seemed to virtually dissolve, and Amicus came through.
: : : :
: : : : "Could this door be operated by telepathic means?" she suggested finally. It crossed her mind to suggest that one of the Vulcans perform a mind meld with it, however strange that may sound, but for now she decided to keep that thought to herself, the implicit dangers of such an endeavour outweighing their immediate need to get through to the other side. It was an approach she'd only be willing to try when all else had failed.

: : Terrik looked puzzled, "There is very limited knowledge of the Tkon, even the most learned of archeologists know little more than can be learned at the academy as far as I know. Though the idea of a telepathic mechanism is, I suppose, plausible. The technology is indeed advanced."

: Sharon almost called out when she saw Amicus appear beyond the bulkhead. Then she suddenly found herself growing nervous...what would his reaction be when he saw some of his brothers and sisters again? Or the Orions? How would they react to him?
:
: She turned to her team to report what she had just seen. "It appears that the second away team are about to arrive on the other side. Amicus is already making a passage for them through the rock walls. There are also four Orions and two Horta in there."
:
: She stepped back and motioned to the small window, allowing them all the opportunity to see for themselves what she had just been observing.
:
: "So, what now?" she mused. "It's possible that the release for this door lies on the other side. Once Lt Mason's team are in the room one of them might be able to investigate this further for us. That's if they don't get any problems from the Orions. If they DO get problems then we will need to make our own way through this door as quickly as possible to assist them. So...I don't think we're going to discover how to activate this panel, so I suggest we use the favourite method of all engineers...we take something apart. Shall we try the panel or the door itself?"

: Lt (j.g.) Miller (CE)

Terrik took a quick look through the small window, surprised by the change in lighting. Stepping back from the panel he addressed Lt. Miller.

"I think we should contact the other team and let them know of our situation and give them a heads up. I'm no engineer, but I would suggest you start with the panel."

Taking a step back to give the Lt. room he observed closely, not being particularly tech savvy himself.
