Shemp commented while they were finishing preparations, “..Heard we’re trying to save some nanites? Anyone recall the old Enterprise D’s crew with stuff like this? Caused all sorts of havoc and endangered the ship and crew back in the 2360s, my grandmother told me about it once when I was in middle school..” he said.

”..I mean yeah there’s that, plus ya know the whole Borg thing, but really the Federation and others have used nanites in some form since like the early 24th century in some way or form. Though I guess with the whole problem with the Joint Fleet Maneuvers a year or so ago and the Borg almost taking over the whole fleet in Sol kind of keeps tensions high..” Larry replied.

T’Mor arrived to the room a little later, carrying a bag a fidgeting with her tricorder.

“Apologies for the delay,” she explained, “I was acquiring some additional supplies from the science lab that may be useful in stabilizing the nanites when we locate them. We do not know the exact conditions they require, but they seem to function well enough in standard atmospheric conditions when exposed to biological matter.”

Kaden looked around and believed everyone needed was here. He then looked at everyone and said, “Are we all ready to go down to the planet and see if we can figure out the containers? ” He was hoping he could save this species and he believed it would be good for his career. It was early in being a department head but he knew it was always cool to find things like this. He waited to see what everyone said.

John strolled into the transporter room with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. “I think my invite got lost in the post,” he quipped, a wry smile playing at the corners of his lips. “Luckily, Ensign Carter enjoyed the sound of his own voice and let slip that a merry band of officers were assembling here to do some saving. And I’ve just about crawled through enough of these Jefferies tubes and investigated the ship as much as I can right now. So, hope you don’t mind.” With a casual shrug, John joined the team, ready for the away mission. “No? Didn’t think so.”

Kaden looked up and noticed Lt DeLaney showed up in the transporter room. He then responded after his statement, “The more the merrier. Not a problem and I could use the extra help from an engineering stand point. Welcome. I believe we will be going down to the planet here shortly.” He then waited for confirmation but went ahead and stepped up onto the transporter pad.

Seeing as everyone had arrived, the CMO followed Lt Buchanan onto the transporter pad. The Doctor had slumped his med kit satchel around his shoulder and turned back to face the team.

Tak quickly scampered up onto the pad, making certain to grab their tail and hold it up to prevent anyone treading on it. They looked up at the gathered officers, once more feeling their short stature. How had the Raka managed it for so many decades? They turned forward with determination. They would help save these nanites… as well as they could.

Kaden looked up and saw everyone on the transporter pad and said to the transporter chief, “Please beam us down to as close to the containers as you can.” He then waited for the team to appear on the planet side. He was curious where they would be based on the location of the containers. He was hoping it was very close so they could get started as soon as possible.

NE Barns at the transporter console spoke up, “..We’re putting you down outside a cave formation that the first away team went into. Comms and sensors are interfered due to local various deposits plus what we believe is some kind of underground structure, perhaps where those nanites came from. First team reported it was also where near the surface the wolves called home, so be on your guard just in case..” he said.

Once nods got give the transporter got activated and a moment later they were on the surface 20ft from a nearby cave entrance leading into a shallow entrance then deeper into a natural tunnel formation.

T’Mor immediately recognized the cave entrance from the growth of the hybrid lichen she had scanned earlier,

“I believe this is the entrance,” she reported.

“And the Hikaru Sulu award goes to…” Jon muttered shaking his head and looking around the immediate area, there didn’t appear to be any dangers and he knew his tricorder wouldn’t make heads or tails of the readins.

She moved toward it and stood at the threshold, but waiting for someone else to take the lead.

Gavin immediately pulled out his science tricorder and scanned the area towards the entrance. The CMO was aware that sensors would be affected, but thought they’d have some luck using a tricorder.

Jon on the other hand decided to opt for a more direct approach and walked up to the entrance looking to see if there were any mechanical aspects he could disern.
