: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : 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... "

: : One of the tribbles was beamed back to the Saracen. It seemed to be dead.

: : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : "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."

: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : "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.=^=

: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : "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.

: : : : : : : : 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.

: : : : : : : : Mouse of Nevermore
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : 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.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : - Ens. Rana Ketchum (Sci)
: : : : : :
: : : : : : The energy readings indicated plasma that was being heated to a high temperature. As they got closer to the caves, they would hear humming. An stopped concerned about the noises that were coming from the cave. He was not at all comfortable being here, but he had promised the governor that he would show the Star Fleet officers what was happening to the fields.

: : : : : "There's definitely some heavy equipment in here. Some kind of industrial operation... maybe converting the grain into another substance?"
: : : : :
: : : : : - Ens. Ketchum (Sci.)
: : : :
: : : : Am'tra cocked his head, his keen hearing also picking up the hum of the energy field. "Definitely sounds like some manner of industry, consistent with conversion operation," said the security officer. "With my keen hearing, I can differentiate types of machinery, by their energy fields' hum."
: : : :
: : : : Lt(jg) Am'tra, Security Officer
: : :
: : : "What can you make out?"
: : :
: : : - Ens. Ketchum (Sci)
: :
: : What could be made out was that there drilling going on, it was unclear what was being drilled for until they got closer. They would notice that there were more and more nests of tribbles as they got closer to the mouth of the cave. With her keen sense of hearing Am'tra would pick up voices but it was hard to distinguish what was being said over the sound of the machines.

: Ketchum scanned the area beneath them, to try to find out what they could be drilling for.

LATINUM. Large deposits of Latinum dotted the area, especially in the cave areas. A different hum, one of a transporter deposited a human in front of the team, it seemed he hadn't really expected to see them this close to the caves. He looked at them wide eyed and turned to start to make a bee line for the caves. The plan seemed to be starting to unravel as he turned a tribble fell from his bag....
