: : : : : : : : : : : : : : As the team retreated the tribbles calmed down and returned to eating and multiplying. Now that the team was out of 'their territory' they were no longer interested. Ketchum's calf was bleeding where the tribble had been gnawing, there were chunks of flesh now missing and Ketchum would notice that his calf felt as if it was on fire.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : An Zhou hurried over "What are these things? Where did they come from?" He walked over to one of dead creatures and picked it up and examined it and walked back over to the group of Star Fleet officers.

: : : : : : : : : : : : : Ketchum tore a piece off of his tunic and wrapped it around his badly bleeding calf.
: : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : "At some point, they were tribbles, but I've never heard of them attacking people like that. They're not even supposed to be carnivorous!"

: : : : : : : : : : : : : - Ens. Ketchum, Sci.
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : Noticing the sharp burning in his wound, Ketchum scanned it with his tricorder, fearing venom, or some highly dangerous bacteria...
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : - Ens. Ketchum, Sci.
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : Am'tra became concerned, seeing Ketchum scanning the wound. "Someone's been practicing a type of genetic altering, apparently," said Am'tra, now more alert, than ever.
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : Lt(jg) Am'tra, Security Officer
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : The scans would show a bacteria, not particularly dangerous but annoying. It would be easily treated with antibiotics. But the wound was jagged, it was amazing how sharp a tribbles teeth were. One of the tribbles that was alive, would need to be sent back to the ship for detailed analysis so that they could try to figure out how to reverse the effects.
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : An Zhao stepped back to the group "What are these tribbles? I see a small ball of fur...but what is it?" He asked
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : Mouse of Nevermore
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : "Basically, they're omnivorous scavengers that will eat just about anything, and reproduce very rapidly. They can do a lot of ecological damage, if left unchecked, but they're nowhere near this aggressive."

: : : : : : : : Black reached into his responce kit and pulled out a hyprospray. He walked over towards the injured officer and jabbed them with a quick antibiotic jab before even looking at the wound. "It doesnt look bad.. keep the pressure on it till it stops bleeding.. " he took Ketchums hand and placed it over the wound. He reached into his bag for an autosuture and ran it over the wound to close it and stop the bleeding.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : "Okay.. bag and tag one of them and get it back to the ship.. we need to get back to the Captain if we can... "
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Black, CMO
: : : : : :
: : : : : : "Aye, sir" Ketchum replied. He wasn't entirely used to a terse attitude from a senior Starfleet officer, but he knew that under the circumstances they needed to focus. He put a stunned Tribble into a quarantine bag from his equipment case.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : =/\= Ketchum to Saracen, requesting emergency beam-up of hostile orgasm, to isolab for analysis. All of our scans show it as a Tribble, but it is extremely aggressive, and has already wounded several of us. Something on this planet has deranged the creatures, and we need to know what IMMEDIATELY. =/\=
: : : : : :
: : : : : : : An walked over "I'll get my vehicle and I can get you back to the Governor's mansion quickly. If the other two of you wish to continue to the caves. My oldest son will take you there." He said motioning for a taller young man to come over "This is my son Ano."

: : : : : :
: : : : : : "That sounds reasonable. We need to get to the bottom of this, and Dr. Black can still tend to the captain."
: : : : : :
: : : : : : - Ens. Ketchum, Sci.
: : : : :
: : : : : "I agree. I want to see what did this to these tribbles," said Am'tra, nodding. He acknowledged the young man. "I still have point, for everyone's safety."

: : : : : Lt(jg) Am'tra, Security Officer
: : : :
: : : : Black took a light up of another cigarette and inhaled deeply. He considered a few things a moment before talking.
: : : :
: : : : "One.. good job catching that damned thing Ketchum.. two.. if they havnt got the Captain up to the ship yet then I am going to skin someone alive.. I hope to God that hes in the medical bay right now... " He then nodded towards Am'tra
: : : :
: : : : "Lieutenant.. take point as you suggested and make sure we get there without wandering into anymore nests.. I like the idea of wheeled transport but we are probably better off tabbing the distance and taking scans as we go.. "
: : : :
: : : : Black, CMO
: : :
: : : A message came from the Saracen =^=Dr. Black, the Captain and Mr. Romanov are both back aboard the Saracen and receiving medical attention.=^=
: : :
: : : Mouse of Nevermore
: :
: : "Right... on we go then.. I trust the medical staff there... lets get out there and find out what the hell has been going on.. thats the best thing that we can do right about now... "
: :
: : Black started to tab off towards the main thread.

: : Black, CMO

: An led the way to the caves. He was apprehensive about going there after being expressly forbidden to do so. As they neared he slowed down and looked around "Excuse me Doctor, but the tribbles as you call them seem to be more populace here." He said as the mouths of the caves came in to view. There was an energy reading coming from one of the caves that was very out of place.

Ketchum re-activated his tricorder and tried to trace/identify the hum of the energy field.

"It's about a hundred metres ahead," he reported.

OOC: Holding off on more until the GM lets us know what this energy field is composed of, etc.
