El wasn’t precisely the be all and end all of weapons knowledge. She glanced about. “There are five of them down,” she said, indicating the five of the team that shot the women. “These three are probably okay. We got them before they blew off their ammo. Not sure on the others there.” That being said, she looked at the rifle and tried to note the similarities between that and what they used on Earth, checking the magazine and looking for a spare, of that and the hand gun. She was relieved that their ‘barrier’ had been solid. Many military weapons would have done through something like that if a similar make was done on Earth. “Best be quick. These guys are only stunned,” she said. She’d leave it to the MACO’s to deal with what they wanted to do with these soldiers.

Standing a few feet away Rende saw Lt Black and En Elemirre going through pockets. She approached, all the while watching the area surrounding them for any subtle or obvious indications that they were no longer alone. “Excuse me Lt. if you are looking for a weapon,” she unshoulder her pack and set it down. “You’ll find some non energy weapons in there. Take your pick.” While she was down here she answered directly to Lt Black as the chief armory officer. “Orders, Sir?”

Isaac found a good weapon and looked at his small team “did any one see team leader before the firing started. We don’t know who is down and who is still alive” he pulled his scanner out and keyed in the star fleet coms and sent a single the beep will be low enough to not give away hiding space but loud enough for who is holding the communicator can hear it.

Rende waited for them to finish searching them, and then she reached into her bag for several sets of cuffs. It wasn’t her decision to decide what to do with them but secure them until the Captain made a decision. She loved these new cuffs. Magnetically connected and encrypted so that they couldn’t be hacked into releasing. She could disconnect the pair to allow them ease of movement and lock them up tight if they made a wrong move. She attached a set to each pair of hands, locking them behind their back, unless they were wounded, and then she had their hands in front. Then she attached a set at their ankles. Just because hands were cuffed didn’t mean they couldn’t try and make a run for it. Rende then finished searching them, for weapons, ammo, and most importantly comms or tracking devices.

“If you find any communication devices, I would like to see them, they may help us figure out the alien language a little better. and El, you can help me figure out how they work.” Lt. Sanks asked as he continued to work on the library for the captain.

Leaving the MACO’s to what they do best, El slung the rifle over her shoulder. It must have looked a bit comical on her smaller frame but she bore it easily enough. She hadn’t seen anything obvious on the one she was searching, but she knew one had a comms unit as they heard him call on it. “This one over here has one,” she said to Roger. Moving over towards the duo she did a search on his person. Military radios were never small and never hidden. It was like they needed to be seen and manipulated, at least on Earth. El hoped this was similar and not a small comms unit, easily dropped and crushed.

Interestingly the hand unit she found was integrated into the helmet. This alone wouldnt be odd but what was odd was the design setup was almost an exact match for what the MACOs used in combat situations! Something was seriously strange going on here.
