"Rubber banding wall of death" (Cont'd From "The Melody of Trees") Location: E4 Sceme: Forest somewhere Stardate: 2.80910.2103 Izzy was trotting ahead of the rest of the team, her shoes tied with their laces and hanging over a shoulder, her uniform jacket wrapped around her waist and tied together with the arms, leaving her own arms bare to the wind and sun, her socks had gone missing a while ago and her trousers were rolled up to below her knee as she whistled cheerfully whilst keeping an eye on the tricorder. Her skin was flushed with yellow almost as though it was reflecting the sunlight; her hair had changed to brilliant silver and was in fact reflecting light "You don't have to enjoy this quite so much you know." The voice of Peter came from behind her still grumpy from being dumped upside down in a tree. Izshlana ignored him and disappeared ahead of them. "I swear she acts like a kid sometimes." Peter muttered watching his own tricorder to try and find some signs of the other team. "That's because she is." Mathew pointed out quietly. "Her race live as long as Vulcans, maybe longer, she never told me for sure. She's only 20 something by her own terms which by my reckoning makes her around 8 compared to humans." Peter looked at his husband unconvinced. "Seriously?" Mathew nodded cheerfully. "Apparently if the Dominion hadn't conquered her race she'd still be in schooling for another 20 years. She is the personification of someone being forced to grow up too quickly due to a war." "You're pulling my leg." Peter responded and looked over his shoulder at Aerdan. "Tell me he's pulling my leg?" The CMO shrugged his shoulders. "Physically she is as advanced as any human in their twenties, although when I conducted a medical exam of her mother before and after the baby was born the amount of physical degeneration was much less than you would expect in a human of her age, in fact their was almost none. So yes, Izshlana is of a long lived race. I can only assume then that Mathew is right in suggesting that Izzy maybe as mature as my daughter." As an after thought he muttered. "She certainly acts like it on occasions." They walked past a tree and Izshlana jumped from behind the thick trunk yelling "BOO!" as loudly as she could. Birds fluttered from their nests with squawks of annoyance. Peter, Mathew and Aerdan simply exchanged a look. The last man shrugged his shoulders and said. "See?" "See what?" Izzy asked looking around them all. Urika managed to stifle a little laugh. "We've veered off course." The science officer answered changing the subject with grace, "If we're sure we still want to move north." "We keep going north." Peter agreed firmly. "Then we need to head more that way." Urika answered watching her tricorder that had now become a compass; she realigned herself with the north and pointed. "Any suggestions on how we can get in touch with the other team yet Ronnie?" Peter asked as he started heading off. "Not as of yet." Ronnie answered. "But Maddie wont leave us wandering around in circles for long, something is bound to happen sooner or later." Peter pursed his lips although a small smile formed on them as he considered his adopted sister. "It's the "Something" that I'm worried about." He declared. Aerdan shrugged his shoulders about to say something he paused and looked around his antenna dipping slightly, he took a step to his left and hit an invisible wall and bounced back. "Commander." The doctor lisped and nodded to the XO. "I might have found the first something." Being unperturbed by the bigger man stopping mid step Izzy threw herself into a run and smacked into the wall. She got a step through it before it rebounded and threw her across the track they had been following and hit a tree trunk. "Ow." Izzy muttered. "But…" Mathew said slowly trying not to laugh too loudly at his assistant. "All things considered that was an excellent plan." He grinned at her and put his thumbs up. "Two thumbs up and an A for effort." Izzy grinned back. "It's rubbery." She declared. "See there was a reason why I did that." "You wanted to fly?" Mathew guessed. Peter hid a laugh and shook his head. "Well we don't want to go that way anyway." He pointed out softly and then looked at Aerdan, "how did you know it was there?" "The wind sounded different." He answered. "It was coming from a different direction, I figured something was there." He moved backwards antenna fluttering around his head "It starts here." He declared from a few steps back the way they had come. Izshlana stood up and Aerdan quickly stepped between her and the rubber invisible wall. "I'd rather not treat you for a concussion." He supplied with a shake of his head. Izzy grinned and hugged the blue man. "I knew you cared." He rolled his eyes and looked at Peter who was calmly, and carefully, running his hand along the wall, he reached were Aerdan had been standing and his eyes narrowed as the rubbery substance didn't stop but instead ran in another direction perpendicular to where they were standing. "OK, this is a corner." He declared turning he looked at the group. "So do we investigate or ignore it?" he questioned. ** NRPG: well some character stuff and an invisible wall… Woot.
