"Plan B" Con't from Beth's "Trekking" Location: Counterstrike Bridge over RESTIN II Stardate: 2422 [2.7] 1410.1948 Scene: Bridge [[Tam here.]] The counselor's voice replied over the communications channel. Catherine glanced at the tactical screen and hid a frown. "Can you please let the Colonel know that I have a badge and weapon for him." She asked, stalling for a little time about how to tactifuly inform the marine of something amiss. [[He's asking why you've not returned to give it to him.]] Tam responded after a lag of a couple of moments. "Ah." Catherine hesitated, glancing again at the graphical interface before her eyes flicked up at the viewscreen. She had to tell him, and couldn't really think of a covert way of saying it. "I've detected something anomalous in the sensor readings." She finally admitted. [[Define anomalous, Lieutenant.]] This time Maverick's voice issued from the communications device loud and clear. Cath wondered if Tam had handed her badge to him. "Good to hear your voice, sir." Catherine winced at the rancor in his voice. She know he didn't appreciate the tiptoe, but he also wouldn't want to unnecessarily alarm the ensigns and Darum. "Long range sensors are picking up some readings that the computer can't decipher." She replied slowly. [[What sort of readings?]] Bret asked, and when no immediate answer was forthcoming, he issued a sigh. [[I'm alone.]] He assured her. "According to the computer, it could be debris, quaser, astronomical event." Catherine replied, ".cloaked ship." Maverick was silent for a couple of beats. Most likely it wasn't a cloaked ship, but he would have to step carefully. [[Can you locate Commander Kenta's team?]] The marine asked curiously. "Negative." [[Stay there and monitor the situation with that anomaly. Try and determine what it is. Where was Kenta's last position?]] Bret quickly asked. He needed someone to keep an eye on them as well as the anomaly. Catherine pulled up the specific information to check on the status of the other away team. "Computer's last tagged reference to that team is lat 24.88 by long 11.27. No further information then that." It was worrying that there had been no other news on Kenta's team for a few hours. [[We'll head that way and keep in touch. Maverick out.]] Bret killed the communications, causing Catherine to raise an eyebrow. The woman fiddled quickly with the controls of the Counterstrike. The quicker she got Mav's team to Kenta's, the quicker this could all be resolved. With a final keystrike, she beamed Mav's team to Kenta's last known position. Maverick grunted as he reappeared in unfamiliar surroundings. He glanced down and saw a comm. Badge and his equipment by his feet. It took him a second to figure things out. "That girl." He grumbled under his breath. "She did save us a day of trekking." Ginny replied. Darum had already pulled out his tricorder and tried to locate the grail of their quest. "The closest Iconian artefact is this way." He was already scrambling through the brush in his haste to find the next artefact. Maverick cursed under his breath and gestured for Ginny to follow the scientist. "LeGrande stay with Darum. Tam, you're with me, we're going to check the area and make sure there aren't any nasty surprises waiting for us." He holstered his weapon and gestured for Tam to follow him as they set off at a slight tangent. "Yes, sir." Tam replied as she hurried to catch up to him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NRPG: Naomi Lara Lt. J.G.
