Looking to the staff, “..Well it would seem they can understand us, but we as of yet can not understand their response..” She said. Considering this she looked to T’Mor “..Lieutenant, run the responses we got through a subspace data stream, then have that output if any retranslate back into spoken or auditory or visual examples. The signal clicks could be data ‘speech’..” She said.

Once T’Mor would do this they could get a repeat of the patterns this time in a digitized voice, =/\= Alien species near us. We reach out to greet the alien species. =/\= the first pattern said, =/\= Can you receive us? The host you provided does not speak upon the same wave patterns as the alien species does near it. =/\= The second pattern said, finally the response to Drudoc came through, =/\= Yes we understand you, Commodore Drudoc Andone, commanding officer of the USS Ark Angel of the United Federation of Planets. =/\= It said.

T’Mor couldn’t help that her eyes went wide. Sure, it wasn’t a new plant species, but it was a whole new apparently sentient life form. Which was exciting enough. She was in the room during official first contact. That had to mean something, right?

“I’ll be damned,” Kyle whispered.

“It’s somewhat calming not to hear ‘We are the Borg’, when it involves nanites,” Gavin added. The CMO continued to monitor the life signs of the specimen to see how it reacted to communication on this level.

Tak’s eyes widened in wonder and they settled back, standing out of the way.

Drudoc glanced at the reactions of the rest of the staff. Then returned her attention to the enhanced mouse and chunk of metal. =/\= You are in a smaller life form, that is not capable of speech as we are. We found a pack of local wolves that your kind enhanced and endangered a colony of ours that we are currently in orbit of. Can you explain who you are or who made you? As well as why you endangered the colony? =/\= She said. While normally she would be more courteous during a first contact the matter of safety for the colony was paramount more so then proper procedures currently.

After a pause the translation came through again, =/\= The containers of creation below the cold earth we resided in was damaged, others destroyed. The only way for our survival was for many to inhabit the creatures you called wolves. Our time in the creation vats was very long, we were confused when able to host in another form. The mentality of the new hosts confused us, made us act unlike we would normally. It has only been in the past recent cycles that we were able to counter our earlier hostile actions. =/\= It said, accompanied by squeaks of the enhanced mouse inside the unit.

Drudoc considered this, it likely would explain the energy patterns they had located near and below the colony where their security team had gone. The hostile actions of the wolves, and then their retreat and lack of any further attack since would also seemingly be matched. “..I see, do you know who your creators were? Or where they may be now or what happened to them?” She asked.

Again a pause and then reply, =/\= The creators left us in the creation vats far longer then we can properly recall due to damages. The vats once numbered nearing 200 all containing many of us as a whole. But not we sense only one remains, and that is nearing failure and the long silence. Commodore Drudoc Andone, commanding officer of the USS Ark Angel of the United Federation of Planets we request your aide in saving what we are. =/\= They said.

”..We are willing to aide you and your remaining vat, but we need to know if you could present a danger to the colony? Do they need to worry you would leave the wolves for themselves? Can you leave if you wished it?” She asked.

=/\= We can leave a host yes, but without the creation vats to reside in with their creation liquids we would soon cease functioning. As is the case of the shard of us near this host. We only exist because of the organic material which was provided and was close enough to be converted into sustaining source of energy. We bare no ill will to your colony Commodore Drudoc Andone, commanding officer of the USS Ark Angel of the United Federation of Planets. We simply wish to exist, to learn, and to grow. =/\= They said.

”..Very well we currently have a team underground near likely where we detected more of you perhaps ones in the remaining vat. One moment while I confer with my staff..” she said gesturing for everyone present to come away and around a corner of the lab to discuss further. Once everyone was present she inquired. “..It would seem time is short to respond and act, but I need your thoughts quickly on how to proceed before I make my own call..” she asked.

OOC: Sorry I am behind but I have been very very busy.

After listening to all of this communication, he was not fully surprised it worked at all but based on the technology the federation has, he figured it would work based on his small understanding of language. He figured because the nanites should be technology/machines, based on his understanding of engineering, he thought it would be more than a long shot for this to work. He was happy it worked and it allowed the team to communicate with the nanites. Now he was curious of how this was going to be written in the discovery logs for these new lifeforms. This was Kaden’s second ship out of the academy and he was never involved in anything like this in the past. He was excited to think about it but knew it probably happened all the time in Star-fleet. Kaden was hoping they would learn more about this new species. He also hoped he would be able to be involved in helping save this species by getting it back into the containers the nanites were referring to.

Kaden then looked over at Commodore Andone and said, “Do we need to get a party together to go find these ‘containers’ the nanites are referring to? I believe engineering and science would need to be involved to verify the condition of the ‘containers’ before allowing the nanites to go back into them?” He waited for a response from the captain.

Outgoing Chief Engineering Officer

”..Most likely the away team currently planet side is there, and given the statements given the last container is on the verge of failure. The interference also from below ground where they went also currently prevents us contacting them yet. We can only hope they can stabalize things till we arrive..” She said. “..Alright Lieutenant Buchanan take Lieutenant Stacey and T’Mor with you and Ensign Tak. Plus three security NE’s.” She said then turned to Anders “..Lieutenant Anders, return to the bridge now, just in case. I want a fall back option to detonate a spread of our tricobalt torpedoes to vaporize the underground area in question. Have them ready just in case in 10 minutes..” she said.

”..In the meantime, NE Buckley and Charles will remain with me while I continue discussions, for now the enhanced mouse will remain contained as will the metal shard. Questions?” she asked.
