“We need to get a better idea of the surface to know what is and isn’t possible,” Faye said quietly back. “Our tricorders aren’t cutting through the interference perfectly, but they are better than the ship’s sensors right now. Let’s try tying the enhancers into the tricorder as well,” she said, flipping out her tricorder again.
It didn’t take long to use the enhancers to cast a wider and clearer sensor signal over the area and Faye moved about (not too far though) to get a broader sense of the surface. Calloway wished they could have had time to get the entire grid setup with enhancers but this would have to do.

Topography showed a broken region of stone and earth that had been disturbed over the last millennia. Beyond the ‘disturbed’ region it was rolling karst topography of limestone layered and occasionally reaching the surface. Faye would detect a portion of that limestone outcropping on a nearby hill that formed a weathered cliff face. What was more, from what the tricorder could see was that there was a cave system that may or may not be natural that led from there into the direction of the broken ground.
- Wookiee“Whoa…” Faye said, her eyes lighting up, showing Kiama what the scan was showing. “Let’s go see what we can find. Even a little deeper might get us better scans.”
With slightly narrowed eyes, Kiama studied the readings for moment; nodding thoughtfully a few times. Smiling at Faye, her eyes sparkled with new enthusiasm. “That looks very promising. Hopefully it is what it seems to be,” she replied.
=/\=Away team to Manhattan. We’re detecting an underground cavern system very close to where we are, around the outcropping. We can’t get to the larger of the metal pieces without bringing down heavy equipment and digging, so this is the safest way to get some answers,=/\= Faye said, unable to hide a thread of excitement in her voice.
~Faye Calloway, Data Specialist
The response was instantaneous and definitive. =/\= Cochrane to Away Team. Understood, Lieutenant. But do not go in there until we clear you and get you some extra eyes. You understand, Lieutenant Calloway? =/\=
Cochrane, CO
Leaving it to Faye to reply to the call, Kiama stood silently next to her, running through ideas, hypothesises and possibilities in her mind.
~Lt. Naim, CSO
=/\=Acknowledged, Captain,=/\= Calloway replied. She did glance at Kiama and give a faux pout, but really she wasn’t going to be risky here. It was prudent to have additional information before they leapt into the mystery.
‘Yeah,’ Kiama mouthed silently, pretending to look equally disappointed about having to. But while she was more than curious to get a look and better readings off what was down there, she wasn’t going to walk blindly into a cave. Especially not on a planet where they knew a lot of strange things were going on.
Gesturing with her head, she leaned in towards Naim. “We can’t go in but we still have to get there,” she said with a grin as she moved off in the direction of the hills. “Let’s go.”
~Faye Calloway, Data Specialist
“Yes,” Kiama replied with a nod while trying not to chuckle audible; excitement and curiosity written plainly all over her dark features. After quickly checking that they had what they might need, she started to walk towards the weathered cliff face at a quick pace. “If you were to hazard a guess, what do you think we’ll find down there?” she asked curiously.

At that moment there was a shimmer of light about twenty feet from Faye and her group. As the light faded, Pretha and two other NEs were at her side. She smiled and nodded to the Specialist and the Science Chief. “Understand you guys are digging yourselves into a hole?” She teased and stepped towards the group as she hit her comm badge. =^=Oberon to Wyatt. We are with Callaway’s team, Sir.=^=
