NE Dund’t looked up as the two entered the cargo bay. “..These darn antigrav sleds are acting up, or…well just this one in particular. We figured it’d be best to get trained eyes on the interiors instead of taking them apart ourselves..” He said.

“Its fine Ensign,” she said to the poor Cargo bay tech as she walked in “Ensign Ranlei After this I would like to have that talk if you are available” she purred getting down and starting to open up the main access panel on the Grav Lift to see what was going on inside

Miz’uki

No sooner had Miz’uki opened the panel then 6 inch long and 2 inch wide large blue-green Risan cockroaches fell out in mass onto her arm and knees and the floor scuttling around her and up her in places in confusion.

Ranlei nodded, “Aye sir. Assuming this failure doesn’t turn out to be something life threatening it really shouldn’t take long. “, it wasn’t the sort of engineering she was trained for but she had wanted a ship assignment to become more rounded hadn’t she. She pulled out her tricorder and scanned the grav lift from about 10 feet away. She had always been a bit Paranoid but that Ooze creature had spooked her badly., and her luck was running from bad to worse lately. The Men she liked avoided her. The men she wanted nothing were all over her. Most of the female officers were either openly hostile or trying to be friends. That in itself was unsettling. Hatred she knew how to deal with. The ships children were being friendly. Those children’s parents were not amused. She ran the scan four times as with her mind racing she couldn’t concentrate.

Scans confirmed the Risan Cockroaches were interfering with the electronics of the grav cart there were a lot of them inside infesting the cart’s inner workings.

Before Ranlei could say anything, Miz’uki had the Pannel off. Some of the Roaches that had been sitting comfortably on the access panel, while others were moving about freely inside the machine, the ones on the panel, however, jumped out right into the felines face. There was a shriek of horror, followed by all the angry feline noises as Miz’uki ran from the grav lift, and up a stack of containers. Where, standing on all fours, her back arched, ears laying flat, tail on end and puffed up, the Chief Engineer hissed and spat angerly. “KILL THEM, KILL THEM, KILL THEM, KILL THEM, KILL THEM!!!” she shouted her voice tense with fear.

The CE’s reaction made Ranlei backpedal three steps and drop the tricorder. She groaned internally as she recognised the insects, living as she had on a colony that supplied services to a trade hub Ranlei had seen colonies of these things before. She tapped her combadge and said, =^=Security. We have a infestation of electronics disrupting insects onboard. Be advised and apply intruder countermeasures.=^=, the temptation to stomp on or phaser the bugs was near overwhelming but Ranlei did neither.
To the Ne Ensign she said “Seal the bay put up emergency forcefields if they are in one thing they are in everything in this room and likely every system on the ship. But we will hope we caught them before they spread.”, then turning to the CE she said, “Not sure how the biofilter didn’t catch them mam but this is why you never dock airlock to airlock with anyone.”
