Shanok this time literally smiled seeming quite pleased by Tenzig’s acceptance to return to the tent with the drive. His hands were still concealed behind his back and waist “..Excellent Commander! I am…” he began but then a voice from outside interrupted.

“Alternatively, you can come with us, Shanok. We’ve got some guests who would like to share the experience on the ship and would like to meet you. The Gurdians are waiting to meet you aboard our ship,” he said, “and we would be bad guests if we were to refuse them their history now, wouldn’t we?” he asked.

Shanok clearly surprised to be snuck up on turned with almost supernatural like speed, faster then expected even for a Vulcan! The 23rd century Type-2 phaser in his left hand opened fire at likely the COS from a location beyond their view with a blue energy burst and whine. “..NO!” He shouted. In his other hand was a palm sized boxy device with a single red button in it which Shanok’s right finger held steady over to press. He held in this in his right hand with a now clearly alien like gleam in his eyes and on his face holding it above his head for all to see. “..Anyone else move and this whole valley is going up in smoke! I won’t lose this chance now that I have it! All these years mocked, denied, disbelieved in by my theories. Well I won’t lose the truth! I WON’T!!..” He shouted at the end.

Trainor wasn’t sure what to think at that moment. Had they gone to the camp site the team would have been able to beam out, but now they’re in even more danger with Shanok threatening to blow the entire valley.

“How are we going to read the hard drive now, Professor?” Tenzing asked, trying to pay no attention to the events that just took place. The Operations Chief just wanted to leave the ruins and get back to the beam out point, and he might have to play nice with the creature that stood before them.

Trainor Operations Chief

Shanok didn’t reply to Trainor’s words as he instead dove behind a large bit of ruins avoiding a return phaser shot from someone outside the government building. Meanwhile the ground felt to be trembling with cracks forming in the room the Operations team was in. Suddenly one crack went wide open near NE Oh’noes as a slimy/oozy tendril came out from the crack, rising up and engulfing the poor NE!
you me something like this?

A muffled gurgle scream was heard before their very eyes the engulfing ooze creature. Bit by bit the poor NE’s uniform, then body was torn apart by the highly acidic creature. More cracks were appearing in the dimly lit area of the lobby signaling more creatures or more tendrils of a single creature were soon to pop forth.

Seemingly unfazed by the carnage (inside he was puking, the real puking would have to wait), Arthur moved to take down Shanok the hard way, slamming his phaser roughly into the holster and running towards where the Vulcan disappeared to, his knife in one hand.
