“What do we know about where we are relative to the origin of the warp signatures and the indigenous society? It might do to see if they know anything, by way of observation. They probably don’t have anything to do with starting it, but if they’re aware of the phenomenon, it could be a part of their culture.”

The area they were in was wooded as mentioned before, their target was the larger village to the north near the larger mountains about several miles north of them. The only direct way there was by the dirt road not far from their current location. What they knew about this culture was very minimal, medieval in nature, human like in appearance, and not much else. If these warp bursts were part of their culture or were known about there was no sign of it from what little they had seen so far. Perhaps given they would run into them anyhow on their trip north they might learn more from the group of travelers up the road from them that had been reported by the Chernov. It was a good a spot as any to begin their investigation.

David thought for a moment. “Everyone get ready to move out. We’re going to follow that road toward the origin point of the warp signatures. Dr Reid, assess where they are in medieval technological progression if you can. Cmdr Grey, observe what you can about them from a xenobiological standpoint. If you can glean anything from talking to them, I welcome it, just keep the prime directive in mind. Ensign Blaze, keep your weapon down for the moment. The less threatening we appear, the more likely we are to learn something. Help Dr Reid with the technological assessment. Your priority is finding out if they’ve been near the warp signatures. Lt Kane, they may have just stopped for rest, but be ready to offer assistance to any injured as a bargaining chip.” David looked around to make sure everyone understood their orders.
“Sure. I’ll just use my ‘witchcraft’ to mend their bones and get burned at the stake.” Kane retorted sarcastically. “I mean, can you imagine their reaction if I hit them with a dermal regenerator? Glad I brought just plain cotton bandages and iodine.”
“Ok. Let’s go.” He turned around and stared walking.

Blaze walked over to Reid “ how about this our story can be we are hunters looking for a good hunting location you can talk to them and I can pretend I am reading something but I but I am actually gonna be scanning them to see if they have any war particles on them to see if they came in contact with the work signature”

“Maybe we should start with a visual inspection. Keep our technology far away from the natives.” Reid replied.

“I like the hunters story though.” David commented back to the engineers. “With your bow you’re fairly convincing. We’re out here exploring. You’re in charge of keeping us fed. That story suit you?”
-Lt Cmdr David Malkin, XO
“I suggest keeping details to a minimum, allow the locals to fill the gaps themselves, we don’t know what sort of society they have, if hunting animals is a time-honored tradition or something reserved for only a select few.” William said keeping pace with the group “A simple story of traveling through these lands and allow them to guess as to why. As to the Scanning it should be done without being seen, even the mere sight of anything abnormal could be enough to do damage” He patted his satchel as if reminding himself where his tools were.
