Once Stiles got off the comm call with someone he turned, “..Only major threat we ever had out that way were from the wolf packs when they got slim pickings on their normal wild prey, the problems we had of late were more strange though. But they were still wolves..” he said, “..I’ve iniated a colony wide alert, everyone is to avoid that area and head in doors from their current locations. Local security forces are assembling at the barracks. No word yet on any injuries.” he said

Then a comm beep from Anders’ and Stacey’s badges came, =/\= Andone to Stacey and Anders, be advised initalk reports show the wolves that attacked our team were cybernetically enhanced wolves, they are smarter, faster, and have an ability to conceal themselves both on visual and sensory scans. Mr Stiles, we have also safely beamed aboard our team and those nearby on that farm. No one was injured or endangered from the colony. While unrelated to this we also have succeeded in getting your long range comm relay back online.=/\= She said.

=/\= Thank you Commodore, the second part does not matter to us too much at present, but the first part puts alot of my mind at ease. We’ve intiated a colony security lock down and are assembling a security force to go check the area out. =/\= Stiles said.

=/\= I understand your concerns to want to investigate this. But I must urge caution in sending your local forces into this situation. We will shortly follow up on this once we can analyze the scans we collected and debrief the team. We will however would like your assistance once another team goes to the area for those who know the area personally. I’d also like to ask for you or someone else to be willing to beam aboard the Ark Angel so we can review the findings so far. =/\= she said.

=/\= Captain I appreciate that and your help, however my concern now knowing our colonists are safe, is the safety of our livestock. =/\= Stiles replied.

=/\= Stand by…=/\= Drudoc said, a moment later she returned, =/\= Mr Stiles your bovine stock in that area are now safely aboard in cargo bay 4. We can leave them there, or beam them down to a another farm if you like? =/\= She said.

After a moment of a heavy sigh Stiles said, =/\= Find Commodore you win, I won’t send a team out there yet, have the live stock beamed down to the shipping export pens by our main dock landing site where your shuttles landed. I’ll have a group waiting to care for them there. =/\= He said. =/\= I will speak to the Council and decide who if any shall beam aboard your vessel shortly. Stiles out. =/\= He said.

“If you feel you need a Federation prescence at the Council Meeting, Mr Stiles, I’m happy to help where I can.” Kyle said, relaxing slightly knowing that the members of his team were safe, at least for now.

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

Gavin nodded in agreement. Since the cattle were transported to the ship, and soon to the new location, the CMO assumed that Ensign Buckingham was out of harm’s way as well.

Stacey Medical

”..I would prefer the presence of your medical officer if they dont mind? I am sure your Commodore would want her security officer back on the ship to see what we’re up against here.” he said.
