Mike looked up into the sky. “Well the weather is clearing up nicely. Since we’re already at the shuttle, maybe we can secure the perimeter and see if we can salvage it or not. Let me see what our eyes in the sky can see.

=/\= Lt. Mike Stone to USS Viking. How’s the status of the salvage operation for our shuttle. Is there any plan in progress already, anyshuttle’s available? Can we count on the colony for any help as well, if they have shuttles of their own?” =/\= He inquired.

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

=/\=Guido here. We’re waiting for confirmation from Colony ops that their systems are virus free before we dispatch another shuttle. We have several ready for launch, but the colony have grounded their own shuttles pending further investigation.=/\= came the NE’s response over the comm.

The scans of the cave indicated no life signs, but their was evidence that indicated that was not entirely naturally occurring despite visual appearances.

“is the cave system connected to the colony” Luna asked.

Kristi was listening and her bottom lip slid between her teeth. Something was off with Stone. “Get a grip, woman… he’s on a strange planet, equipment he doesn’t understand and is ill prepared for, and now has wounded to care for. Of ‘course’ he sounds ‘off’.” She smiled a bit when he mentioned the caves because it seemed more like him to recommend cover, especially with their security officer having wings. Nodding to herself that all was right, she kept the comm open and awaited another chance to help from her place in orbit.

((bump?… been gone, is this dead?))

OOC: Sorry, my bad. Thanks for the bump.

There was no passible connection between the caves, however a scan would show that a fast flowing underground river flowing through part of the caves lead towards to colony. Cross referencing with the colony blueprints would show this as the same river as the colony’s water source.

Ensign Luna remained quiet and on edge. She looked around constantly. Something felt off about the CE but she was not sure what. She would keep and eye on him until they got back to bace.

After taking shelter for about 20 minutes or so there was the sound of a transporter and a number of amber whisps appeared in the cave. The aliens had been returned to their homes.

The seemed cautious of the away team, but were not agressive. The aliens were communicating with each other telepathically and Stone would be aware of what had been happening in the Admiral’s office.

‘The hostages are not needed once our families are home,’ Nevin’s alien had said telepathically to Stone’s, ‘We are peaceful people, let us not abandon who we are.”

Luna opened her wings and took a low combative stance. As the aliens appeared. She was not about to be caught off guard but a potentially dangerous people. ” Who are you” she said. She did not want a fight but as her usual was ready for one.

“Luna stand down,” Stone replied calmly, “you all need to be aware, that these aliens are actually the natives of this planet. It’s the colonists that did us harm.” He said pointing towards where colony was located, a touch of anger apparent, but he quickly calmed down. “It seems the responsible ones have finally seen the error in their ways. If they leave us alone, we’ll leave them alone.”

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

” I need a better explanation,” she said she remand in her defensive stance. ” I’m not about to let my guard down its my responsibility to protect you all” she said she made it very clear she saw the aliens as a threat to the away team.

Ensign Luna

There was an odd expression on Stone’s face. It resembled suppressed anger for a bit. But it went as quick as it appeared. As he spoke, he spoke calmly again.

“Hm, I can see in this human’s mind, that they caused a lot of harm to you in the past. Those wings interested them a lot. And yet you try and defend them. Most curious. Anyways… our family members have been returned. We have no need for you as hostages any longer. Leave now. Your trespassing.”

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

“ because I am human And you know dam well that my wing are the result of exasperation done on me when I was a child. You also know dam well it was a Star fleet officer her rescued me. I know better the to juge and enter race on the actions of a few, and I’m not leaving without you Lt.” She said. She was quite confused as to what was going on.

((Not sure where to put this… so crossed to Admiral’s office))

As Stone started speaking, Kristi realized something was wrong. She immediately tapped her comm badge, =^=Engineering to Captain, or… XO…,=^= Her voice sounded slightly paniced and unsure. =^=… Sir… something is wrong with the away team…=^= She wasn’t exactly sure what to do, only that she needed to do ‘something’. Tapping a nearby Ensign, she said she was heading for the bridge and took off at a run.
