Posted by Fleet Captain Drudoc Andone (CO) in Main Sim-Bridge-Reporting to the captain about the drill site
[snip]

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.

Aye Captain” she purred walking over to the engineering console and she began to work on the simulation

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.

“Captain Those sources are interfering with the Transporters but it’s strange they should not be putting out this much powerrr” she purred “I bet someone is Amplifying the sources and if they weren’t there would not be any purrroblem with our Transporters or our Tractor beams!” she reported

”..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.

“No Captain Unfortunately I can’t seem to nail that down who is doing this” she added he tail swishing about and her ears flattening to show her frustration

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.

“None Captain The planet is basically dead as far as power sources go” she added

”..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.

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 StarFleet 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.

“Roger that Captain May I request to also bring Ensign Shore with me He could use some away team experience!” she said getting up and Approaching the captain

”..Very well Lieutenant take who you think you need..” She said.

“Captain. If I may speak. Before we left Shanok to go to the drill site, he warned us about possible wildlife, rodents. Taking apart the drill during scans I found a plasma burn that was the cause of the malfunction. Someone took that drill offline on purpose. I warned Lt. Starr that we might have a hostile on planet and why. Further scans found a trace dna sample. Turned out to be of a local creature. I now think Shanok himself fried that creature with a plasma torch. Then didn’t tell us he did so. In any other species but a Vulcan I’d say he was embarrassed by having caused his own breakdown. Other things he said while in his tent don’t add up now. When I mention alternatives to sonics he was frustrated by my suggestions. Quick to dismiss any ideas. Again in any other species forming a attachment to old tools is normal. But for a Vulcan? Just not logical.”, she said still staring at the planet. “I get kind of paranoid about social things. Do what people expect of me. So I pay attention to what and how people act. He just isn’t acting like any Vulcan I ever met.”, she finished looking at the Captain finally to see how her words were taken.

Ensign Ranlei Greene. Engineering.

Drudoc seemed to quite agree with Ranlei’s words, “..I agree with you Ensign, I am hoping his ship’s logs turn up something useful. I normally would not intrude on someone’s personal logs and life like this but the security of our team is important. It could be if Shanok knows we suspect something he may turn violent and while I am confident our security team could handle him I would prefer not acting without evidence to later back things up..” She said.

“Come along Ensign,” She purred, as she turned and headed for the turbolift. =^=”Lieutenant Miz’uki to Ensign Shore, report to transporter room 1 for an away mission!”=^= she ordered swiftly, she was now standing in the turbolift waiting on Ranlei to follow her, But then she had a thought at that moment. “Hey Tactical, are there any life signs currently on his ship that was should be aware of? ” she asked sticking her feline head back out of the turbo lift. “And might we get some scans to help us out with this whole thing…I like being as prepared as possible!”
