As they moved, Deeg thought that this was an interesting meeting on an intel side if not on a diplomatic one. “The Pallasians, your home world, has made some interest in joining the federation of planets we belong to. It sounds like you may have something to say that would put things in perspective for our diplomats. By the sounds of it you’d like to torpedo that hope of theirs. I’d be happy to share this with our captain,” Deeg said.
- Deeg, NE Eng

“Share all you like!” the man growled. “Tell your diplomats that we won’t talk until we rule Pallas! The next time we see you in our neighbourhood, I will not hesitate to fire you all into pieces!”

The men who were trying to nudge the Starfleet officers seemed to be getting nervous.

GM

Ben noticed the nervousness of the men “why so nervous?”

Park

“Move!” one of the men whispered. This time, the man used the muzzle of his weapon and nudged him forward. The other man who was behind Deeg tapped his back with the nuzzle as well.

If the two Starfleet officers were to look forward to the third and fourth man ahead, they also looked anxious.

GM

Ben had thought about briefly of him and Deeg overpowering the men with the rifles, but decided against it due to the fact that there was no backup plan. Starfleet doesn’t allow for unnecessary risks to their officers. “Alright we’ll comply.”

Park

The men accompanied the two Starfleet officers to the edge of the clearing where the shuttle was.

“Please leave now,” one of the man said, motioning for the officers to leave in the shuttle.

GM

These aren’t the people you came to meet, Deeg thought. They want us gone. Fast. But they’re nervous about nothing. They can’t be phased by the political zeal of their erstwhile leader. Surely they were used to that rhetoric. Who were they then? One way to find out though. “Lets go,” he said to Park.
-Deeg

As the shuttle moved up into the sky, the four men seemed to melt into the forest. However, the sensors showed that they were moving into several underground routes.

GM

Ben scanning the area “they’re going through underground tunnels. Want me to follow them?”

Park

Even the man who had chased them off, the leader, had moved into the underground.

GM

“Lets hold here,” Deeg said, then considered. “Uh, maybe a bit lower along the treetops so we’re not target practice.” He leaned over to look out bu didn’t expect to see anyone. “I have a feeling that isn’t the people we wanted to meet. It just seemed wrong. Two totally different conversations. You think?” He asked.

“Lets see where they go. And scan about the mountain where the settlers were supposed to be. Anyone there?” Settling into the chair next to Ben he thought of what they said. “They want to overthrow the government but have no clue what to do then. Just that it would be right. Anarchists. Idealists. Four of them thinking they can do that. Gutsy anarchists. What I don’t get was who they thought we were. We’re out of the blue and they are talking like we’re from the next valley. They have cobbled together gear and they see this shuttle and don’t bat an eye.” He shook his head looking to Park for his thoughts.
- Deeg

“Aye Sir.” As Ben tapped a few buttons on the control panel, he guided the shuttle to hover just enough to cover the shuttle by the trees. “I think we met the wrong people Sir. Something about them doesn’t add up to me.”

Lt. (j.g.) Park

OOC: You’re ranking there :) .. Deeg is just ensign material unless he gets promoted

There were no other individuals nearby besides those in the base, which numbered about thirty. Sensors also indicated that there were some who were observing the shuttle as it was hovering.

GM

Deeg saw they were being watched. He pondered their next move. It was a bizarre thing and he nodded his agreement to Ben. “Unless you can think of more, I’m just not sure of what to do. We could sit here and see if anyone takes aim at us but otherwise we should report into the ship.”
- Deeg

OOC: Thanks Gene. I just got confused when I see your character as a full Lieutenant and my character a Lt j.g.

IC: Ben thinking over his options quickly “Deeg get me the Genesis.”

Park

As if the Genesis had read their mind the shuttles’ comms pinged =^=Genesis to Away team=^= The voice of NE Bridge sounded over the speakers =^=The Captain wanted to know if you have anything to report. We noticed that you’ve been hovering over some trees for a moment. Everything alright?=^= She asked.

NE Bridge

Before engaging the reply, Deeg said, “I suppose he wouldn’t want us talking about some botany samples?” Tapping the screen he replied, =^= Shuttle here, Captain. We’re just taking some sensor readings =^= He motioned to Park to continue with the report.
- Deeg

=^= Park to Genesis. Captain we were immediately confronted by a group of people. I personally don’t believe they were the ones that we were to make contact with. They didn’t want us there. They actually wanted to overthrow the Pallasian government.=^=

Park

Sensor readings showed no change in the positions of the ‘pirates’.

OOC: Just combined the posts …

GM
