“Hey, I did no digging,” Faye said with a gleam, pointing her tricorder at the cave opening. “We need to check that’s there are no obvious dangers inside before we step in. We know the metal piece we brought back to the ship is very old, but we don’t know if it’s been here this whole time or cam much later.”

“Yes, no digging today,” Naim added, smiling widely as well. She was very excited to get a peak at the ship. Well, hopefully more than just a peak and it was a lucky coincidence (or maybe not so much a coincidence as intention) that there was a cave and that they didn’t have to dig through several metres of soil. Much faster that way, which she would have appreciated anyway. But under the current circumstances, it was even more important.

~Lt. Naim, CSO

Pretha sighed. No, they hadn’t dug, but she wasn’t sure that disappearing underground was the best idea. But then again… She shook her head and exhaled a deep breath. =^=Captain, there is a natural cave entrance down towards the ship. We are heading in to see if we can get a better hit on whether there is an energy signature or something we can shut off to release the Manhattan. I’ll check in soon as we find something. But it’s our only shot right now.=^=

She waited just long enough to see if there was a resounding order to not go in.

The ‘cave’ when they came to it was more like a thin slit in the side of the outcropping. It was wide enough for a person to slip through. Beyond that it opened up then dropped off. A scan would show that the drop off was rugged and, while not a sheer drop, did descend some 20 meters before leveling off. What they did get showed that it was scalable for anyone reasonably fit. The air beyond felt cool and damp, musty and no life signs showed up. The tricorder’s details faded at that point with interference rendering the details sketchy.

But what could be determined was that what they viewed to the base of the descent was that it was natural. Indications showed that there was a fair chance that what lay at the base was constructed.

=/\= Cochrane to Away Team. Investigate but maintain comms. Security is in charge until safety is established. Then it’s Lt. Naim’s show. =/\=

=^=Copy that, Sir,=^= came Pretha’s reply. Glancing at NE Marks she shook her head. “Short straw, buddy. You get to stay up here and relay in case we can’t get comms to work outside from down there.” She sent a message to the transporter room to send down a couple ropes and climbing gear for three. “Myself, Chief and Calloway will go down first. The rest can follow if we think it’s needed and is safe. Agreed?” She glanced at the others to make sure everyone was on the same page. This was not a place for well I thought you said… when something went wrong.

She smiled at Naim. “Well, glad you’re on CRIT. You get to see a small sample of what it’s like. Each person being in charge of their area of expertise and leading during that particular stage.” She was glad Naim was down here. The woman had been picked for CRIT and, while they hadn’t gotten a chance to do any formal simulations, this was a good way to see the change of leadership in a mission happen as it unfolded.
