Emmy’s lips were firmly pressed together as she heard the report from the Chief of Security. The edges ticked up briefly in appreciation of the CSO putting the video feed onto the screen and she threw herself to her feet in front of her chair on the Bridge, studying the feed on the screen in front of her with her hands firmly planted on her hips.

On the screen was shown a cluster of people, a little over forty, while three colonists were separated from the group and likely dead because of the pools of blood and grotesque injuries. Another two were feebly protecting their vital areas but were still alive for the moment. A last was thrashing and kicking quite spiritedly against one of the creatures that was dragging her away from the large group.

In the time it took the COS to ask permission to engage the threat, one of the feeble colonists died under a creature’s attack. Another pool of blood began to form under their cooling body. A fresh wave of screams came from the group of colonists. The one being dragged away was able to land a solid kick against her abductor’s head though and got free. She scrambled on hands and knees back towards the safety of the group but her assailant roared in rage after recovering from the blow and moved to catch her.

It only took milliseconds for Emmy to process the scene in front of her and the simple one word response flew out of her mouth as quickly as possible after that:

=/\= Engage. =/\=

She turned to the CSO. “Can we get a transporter lock on the injured colonists?” she questioned. In order to get them immediate medical care, particularly as deep care as they would need, it would be expeditious to simply transport them to Sickbay.

=/\= Bridge to O’Connell. We are attempting to get a lock on the colonists’ life signs to prepare them to transport directly to Sickbay. We will transport you and the other medical providers at the same time. =/\=

“We should be able to get a better sensor lock then on the surface of the planet Captain,” Alison said as she attempted to get a lock on the colonists. Hopefully the Challenger’s sensors would be able to separate them from the other entities they transported up.

While there was a much better sensor reading of the colonists in the cargo bay, this excluded the ones in close proximity of the creatures. It appeared as if the creatures themselves were the source of the sensor disruption. The five colonists within close proximity to the creatures could not be locked onto individually for transport and raising a forcefield to separate the last one alive from the creatures wasn’t possible.

=^= O’Connell to Bridge. Transport seems to have failed the creatures attacking seem to be giving off some sort of interference. I would recommend we try to erect a force field around the survivors and enter to stun the attacking ones quickly then attempt to contain them and save the survivor.=^=
