“If we are interesting in finding out what caused the mutations, it would greatly speed up the investigation. We’d have access to the colony computer banks to see if they were able to do any research before whatever happened down there, plus study the local environment to see if that played into it.”

After a second pause, Alison shrugged, “But with enough time we can probably work out a decent hypothesis from examining the beings. Provided that security doesn’t vaporize them.”

It would be some work, but a task her cadets could surely take on.

OOC: Nathan, if you want to jump in here magically appointed XO, please do. :)

Emmy listened attentively to Barr’s thoughts and considered the situation at hand. “What is the risk to the ship if we remain here to investigate further?” she queried the general Bridge crew, her hands resting lightly on her hips as she turned to survey the officers and cadets at the various stations. “Would we need to access the colony computer banks directly?”

“We should be able to establish a remote connection. I can have Cadet Little report to the bridge and start going through the logs here, while I head down to science lab to monitor the concentration of tetryon particles in the area.”

Lt Barr - CSO

Emmy pivoted slightly to stare at the view screen in front of her for several seconds as her brain raced down the various paths and trajectories that were open to them. Getting a clearer picture of what had happened would make sense, but the Challenger was not a well-outfitted battleship and it would not handle any kind of confrontation or other incident particularly well. Finally, she returned her attention back to Barr.

“You have one hour, Lieutenant, and then we will be underway to the space station,” she said firmly.

“We could leave a probe if we need further information,” Vanessa finally spoke up from her seat. She was still finding her footing on the bridge and learning when to give advice, or not give advice as the case may be.

XO(!) Lofton

“Yes Ma’am,” Alison said standing up from the station and heading towards the turbolift.

=^= Barr to Cadet Little. Report to the bridge, I need you to start going through computer logs from the colony. Look for anything suspicious that would give us clues to what happened down on the colony. I’m heading to the science lab to maintain an eye on the tetryon particles we are detecting in the area. =^+

Lt Barr - CSO

=^=…This is Cadet Little, understood, on my way. =^=

Tom was told to stand by during this time at the quarter. From the alert conditions, all-hands messages, and crews moving busily, clearly something was going on. And now he was hailed by the Department Head. Wait, did I hear tetryon particles? I must be careful. Usually, that’s a sign of invasion. He fast-walked to the turbolift and headed to deck 1.

Cadet Little

OOC Great development and theories so far. It will be interesting to see how things turn out.

GM Madness

Emmy offered a small nod to the XO to confirm that she had heard her suggestion, but she didn’t say anything further for several minutes as she considered the options here. “Let’s see what Lieutenant Barr can find in an hour and then we will drop the probe for further information,” she stated firmly. She took her seat again and returned her attention to the view screen to see how things had developed in the Cargo Bay while she had been focused on the decisions being made on the Bridge.

• Davis, CO

As the commotion on the view screen started to calm, Emmy slammed her hand against the comm badge on her chest, perhaps slightly more forcefully than she intended:

=/\= Lieutenants Rodier and O’Connell, report. =/\=
