El stepped to the side and pulled out her scanner and linked it with her glasses and checking the video feed from them. Looking around at different things she confirmed that the data stream was picking things up and recording what she saw, including things such as ambient temperature, radiation background levels, life signs, and other such things as a search for comms traffic on a lower band tech level. Satisfied that she would get pertinent information, she tapped the armature of the glasses for audio link to her communicator and scanner and slipped the tech into her inner coat pocket leaving her hands free to reach to her satchel if needed. She didn’t figure it would be needed. Security was there and more. She was curious about their tech and what was going on. Who were these people who would set aside reason and initiate a catastrophe as this? She smiled wryly under her hood. People just like us, she thought. “Ready here,” she said, more to herself as she moved over closer to Elizabeth.

Scans did not reveal much they already weren’t seeing or hearing. Some kind of rioting or small scale battle was taking place in the town ahead of them Lexi’ton as it was known beckoned but what they might find couldn’t yet be figured out. Shelter though and some kind of base house to operate from might be wise.

Rachel looked towards the town then squatted while she waited for orders. She had nothing to add to any conversation so she just waited in her odd little way.

Isaac looked over his team “are we missing any one yet” he asked joking abit. He was keeping his jacket open so he can pull the phase pistol when he needs it.

Lt. Isaac Black (AC)

Cmdr. McKnight - XO

El was eager to find out what was going on. Sure that meant heading ‘toward’ the skirmishing ahead but it didn’t sound to be any kind of full scale rioting happening but only localized. That meant that there were a lot of people who would not be involved and who could be chatty, even if holed up in a basement. She reached into her satchel and pulled out a small binocular device and looked ‘behind’ them along the road. She was looking in particular for another road sign that noted another town or place where they could say they were from. If they were ‘country hicks’ as the Captain suggested they should have some kind of reference point when the locals here asked where they were from.

Lt. Sanks almost walked into Lt. Prescott as he was scanning the sign and hearing the captain say the need to pair up. “Lt. Prescott, what do you make of this? the translator can’t pick up the top language, but claims that the bottom is a form of English. But if we haven’t made first contact, how would they know our language? Unless a species that has met us has been here before, is that possible?” He was just brainstorming, but he was starting to think it would be a good idea for him to partner up with Lt. Prescott for this mission. “I’m working on the library as well Captain.” he responded to the orders from the Captain.

Ari sighed. “Well, let’s go. Whatever the reasons, I am sure we we get at least some of our questions answered.” She murmured under her breath, I hope.

They headed towards the ‘town’ to see what they could gleen. She hoped it wouldn’t take long to find out what was happening and that the other team was equally, swiftly, successful.

As they headed towards town, she referred to her own scanner now and then and wondered just how this planet came to be so much like their own Earth.

Liz frowned at the question a moment in thought. “My guess is, humans have been settling the galaxy for some time. Maybe this is a place where humans found locals and thrived easily. Perhaps the alien race is the dominant one. Though,” she smiled and winked at him, “it would certainly mean that Common was the alien language here. Wouldn’t it?” She laughed lightly and started following the Captain. “It would be intriguing, though, wouldn’t it? A planet, close to Earth in nearly all aspects. A true ‘Goldilocks’ planet, complete with indigineous life in a warp society. And humans land here, are welcomed, and thrive. But then something happens.” She frowned once more. “Leave it to humans to mess up yet another planet, huh?” She shrugged and exhaled. Pity, really. Humans were truly as destructive as history seemed to make them out to be. Didn’t surprise her, really, that they would find someplace excellent to live, then screw it up. She wondered what Baumann’s thoughts on such a line of reasoning would be.
