Drudoc replied. =/\= Understood Lieutenant, we currently ran a check of Shanok’s ship’s logs. There is evidence to suspect he could have harmed or killed 10 other Vulcans that had been sent here with him on the ship a year ago. You and your teams are under orders to proceed with all caution and apprehend Shanok. There is a possibility he is mentally unstable due to a mind meld with one of the grave ooze creatures before his possible harming of the other Vulcans. Do not tip your hand in knowing this though until you are in a strong position to apprehend him. There is no telling what other secrets he may have under his belt. Questions? =/\= Drudoc asked.

He then pulled out his PaDD and searched the Federation database for any records of the Vulcan Shanok, seeing if he could find anything that might explain his odd behaviour.

Link up to the Ark Angel showed Professor Shanok’s ID matching what they had seen of the man before physically. His last psych profile had been just a hair over 6 years ago now done on Vulcan by a Lieutenant La’nar of Starfleet Medical before he and his ship and presumably its crew had come out this far. The notes in the file showed he was in sound mind and body and health as were those among the crew. What could have pushed him to want to attempt a mind meld though with some giant graveyard eating ooze creature much less then kill 10 other Vulcans was anyone’s guess!

Starr heard that they had found something on the ship, which only added to his suspicions. He thought about who they sent with the Archive team, as that was where Shanok was headed. He tapped his comm badge to get in contact with the security team with the operations department.

=/\=Lieutenant Starr to Ensign Jones. Are you away from Shanok right now?=/\=

Lieutenant (J.G) Simon Starr, CoS

Over the open comm to Jones Starr could hear a slightly muffled reply that sounded like Shanok. =/\= …The Lawgiver and his servants obviously Lieutenant Phillips. Who else could have built such structures and technology to stand the test of time before their failure. =/\= Was heard.

=/\=Uh…no sir.=/\= Jones said

Arthur Jones, Son of Ruk

Simon looked to the counsellor and to Chavez quickly before saying “Counsellor, maybe we should get him in custody before that, based on our current orders. Chavez, your with me, we need to be careful as it sounds like Shanok may not be in his right mind. Set phasers to stun, but try not to use it.” he said. He then turned towards where the operations team went and began running in that direction. As he ran, he tapped his comm badge to respond.

=/\=OK, be on your guard down there, there may be trouble nearby=/\=

Simon wouldn’t usually say that as he believes as security officers, they should always be on their guard whenever on duty as that’s their job. He just hoped that Arthur would be able to read between the lines, and he continued running to the post, picking up the pace once the communication had been sent.

Not long after their exchange Drudoc’s voice came over the COS’s comm badge =/\= Andone to Lieutenant Starr. We have located three possible sites for the Lawgiver’s fifth scroll. One of which is the Government building the Operations team is located in. Given the evidence so far I want Shanok placed under custody for further questioning and in our brig as soon as possible. Once done Lt Commander Trainor and his team should make every effort to secure any further evidence of the Fifth Scroll for our Gurdian guests. =/\= She said.

Unsure what else to do with herself, Katie had hung back and listened as Starr took the situation, thankfully, out of her hands. Her first away team had suddenly gotten a lot more exciting than expected and she fiddled nervously with the phaser strapped to her hip before pulling it out into her hand. Glancing up at Chavez as Starr exchanged communications with Andone, she made a mental note to ask him to take her through a few practice scenarios once they were safely back on board the ship. Her time at the Academy was a very long time ago at this point and that was the last time she had spent any reasonable amount of time with a phaser in her hands. Fortunately, she had spent plenty of time running on the holodeck, though, so keeping pace with the security officers was easy enough as they made their way to Shanok.

Simon nodded, knowing that having the extra backup, no matter how out of practice, was going to help them - numbers could be rather good at getting a point across. He heard his commbadge go off and just gave it a quick tap. =/\=Acknowledged, on our way to Shanok’s location now=/\= he said as he continued making his way to the archive site.
