Posted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Miz’uki (Chief Engineer) in Main Sim-Bridge-Reporting to the captain about the drill site
Miz’uki walked onto the bridge from the turbolift she walked over to where the Captain was sitting “Well That Away mission was parr for the corse” she purred rubbing the top of her head which was still scared up and obviously hairless “Yeah so the drill site is home to a corpse-eating acidic goo monster until someone comes up with an answer to keep that thing from attacking anyone who goes near it I would recommend against me or my Engineers from beaming back down to continue work.” she said her voice hid her annoyance at her fur situation and seemed to be doing her level best to show the proper respect to the captain

Miz’uki

As Miz’uki came onto the bridge she would find the Romulan CO seeming contemplative. “..Thankfully it seems the creature retreated back to its hole once the teams left its feeding area.” Drudoc replied. Next to her on her left was their three Gurdian guests still waiting mostly patiently for the chance to go down or discover this fifth scroll they sought. “..From listening in on Professor Shanok the creature seems vulnerable to bright light like the local sun. The light from phasers also seem to scare it though their energy for harming it is only effective on higher settings..” She further said.

Listening then to Shanok somewhat emotionally rant about the beam downs and outs increasing Drudoc seemed to raise a quizzical eyebrow. “..Curious at such an outburst..” She said. Turning to the NE at the science station she said. “..Ensign, can you better pinpoint the ancient power sources that Shanok seems so worked up about?” She said.

Seem surprised a bit the NE turned nodding. “..One moment ma’am..” he said. Splitting the view screen the right side soon displayed the highlighted ancient generators and power sources that were causing such havoc for use of the transporters. In fact one of the bigger sources was oddly enough directly below Shanok’s personal tent!

”..Now overlay the interference radiuses with the current beam in site..” She said. Sure enough two generators overlaid the main site where Shanok’s camp was and most of the away team if it weren’t for the transport enhancers they wouldn’t be able to beam in and out. Still seeming thoughtful as if a germ of a thought was nagging at her the Fleet Captain turned to Miz’uki. “..Lieutenant, run a simulation report on those sources with an attempt to beam in and out. I want to know for sure before I have anyone else beam in or out that we might cause harm to the ruins as Professor Shanok claims..” She said.

When Miz’uki overlaid a simulation she would find that while the sources were interfering with beam in and out they shouldn’t be putting out the level they were something or someone was amplifying the sources to cover much of the valley the ruins. In short were they not being amplified there wouldn’t be a problem with beaming in or out or using tractor beams or more modern forms of archaeological digging.

”..Why would your Professor Shanok lie?” Lucana the leader of the three Gurdian guests asked.

”..I’m not sure Ms Lucana.” She replied. “..Lieutenant.” She said again to Miz’uki. “..Can you determine from here what’s amplifying those power emissions?”

Miz’uki’s scans sadly couldn’t tell exactly what was amplifying the power sources only that each source was linked together by a relay network throughout the ruin’s valley.

Once Miz’uki reported this Drudoc still seemed unsatisfied. “..Run a scan outside the valley far as you can planet wide, look for any other sources like this.” She said.

Scans quickly completed on 85% of the planet was free of any further ruins or power sources as far as the chief engineer could report.

”..Alright, something is not adding up here, Lieutenant I want you to take Ensign Ranlei and yourself, and beam over to Shanok’s ship, bring up its flight logs and computer database and get me what information you can..” She said turning back to face the screen where off their port bow the small Vulcan science directorate science ship sat powered down in low orbit. “..I got a niggling feeling some of our answers to Shanok’s odd behavior and anything malicious could be found starting there..” She said.

OOC: Pasting in Ranlei’s split

Ranlei followed Miz’uki onto the bridge, She had brushed off as much dirt as possible while she followed the CE, but she still looked like she had lost another barfight. She let her gaze wander to the view screen as she was upset about her performance on the planet. She blamed herself for NE Wakey Wake being injured. The nurses reactions to her trying to comfort the man also upset her. Any StarxFleet officer would comfort a man who was injured. It was hardly the first time she had been treated like the ships whore by the women on the ship. Not in so many words sly subtle digs like the nurses need to tell her he was married. They likely didn’t even know just what they implied by such digs. It really didn’t help her self esteem that her first instinct when he was wounded saving her was to make it better by offering herself to him. Yeah she was exactly what they expected her to be. She stood there looking at the ugliest ball of dirt in the universe on the view screen. Ard managed to look more like a half drowned Kitten than the scalped Caitan she stood next to.
