El closed the distance, glancing back to the black and white weathered snub nose of the shuttle. From here she could see the trails left from rain, dirty lines tinted with the copper of rust here and there. The window she looked through towered above her looking dirtier than when she was inside. Glancing toward the open shuttle she could see Isaac and tried unsuccessfully to stifle a frown. She wondered if the big insects would be attracted to the smell of that which he was filling the bag with.

As El would relay her information to Ari the rest of the clearing seemed peaceful and quiet. The natural wildlife originally having been scared from the Pod’s arrival had begun to chirp, hum, squak, etc once more in the distance. A few of the massive insects they had run into earlier on their descent were even spiraling around in the air above as if trying to make sense of the intruders to their domain.

Her eyes caught some wildlife. Were they not so alien in a way - like Earth but not like Earth. Impossible creatures amongst an impossible ship and more impossible crew. “Captain, the inside of the shuttle was stripped of anything useful but for the pilot’s berth where they jury rigged the power from the generator to their automatic transmission. There was signs of recent work inside, perhaps even days. But even more ..” her sentence was cut off from the comms from the ship.

Just as El would begin to relay her information, the comm units chirped for Ari and the MACO Sargent. =/\= NE Cornbuckle to Captain, and Sargent Russ, got some more information on our mystery from up here we discovered. =/\= He said.

Ari’s scanner beeped showing data had been received. On it showed scans and images of the area they were in with highlighted points of interest. (OOC: See here https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf1/bonaventure/posts/174778/ )

=/\= The XO up here is suggesting you may want to follow up on those points soon. =/\= Cornbuckle added.

El waited for the Captain to look at what they sent down, curious of what they saw. She looked up as though to see the Bonnie up there. Were they looking down at them now? “The thing is, Captain,” El said. “These people. They’re the original crew. There is strong DNA traces, again some only days old, but only a few and all the same people no matter how old. This impossible ship is still crewed by the same impossible crew.” She heard the buzzing of the large bugs. While alien, large bugs were not that alien to her from where she grew up, though most didn’t fly.

Isaac was not enjoying this planet. He was having a hard time on the way down but after they landed and on solid ground he started to relax. He stood up alittle to fast and felt dizzy and landed on his but. After he took some water he started to feel better.

Lt. Isaac Black (AC)

OOC: So as we can see Isaac’s player has edited their reply above. I would then suggest everyone below this line may want to do the same to account for the change from their actions

Naomi’s eyes shifted to Issac’s words. The man looked ill as his body wobbled, giving out underneath him. Instinctively, her arms snapped out to catch him. She was not the fittest when it came to physical strength. Her teeth gritted with the strain when she lowered him to the ground.

Her legs curled up underneath as she settled his head on her lap. Widen, frightened eyes looked at the rest of the officers.

“We need medical!” It might’ve been an overreaction, but the suddenness had startled her. She was a scientist, not a doctor so it was understandable how unprepared she was for this.

El was distracted by Isaac. This moment of discovery was quashed by a rough tough soldier adding to the planetary ecosystem by way of his upchucking. “Maybe he got bit by a bug,” El murmured, looking at the droning insects overhead. This went beyond a pill. They couldn’t beam up but they could get high enough to beam him aboard for medical to then take care of him adequately. She didn’t want to get close. She didn’t like blood on her and she certainly didn’t like ‘that’ goop he was spewing.

“Captain, I suggest we get Isaac aboard and the pilot can take him up quickly to where the planetary interference isn’t affecting them and he could be beamed aboard for the medical people to look after him.” She felt a twinge of guilt that she should have a feeling more in line with Naomi, but, really, El didn’t feel much more than annoyance. Whatever did the man do before transporters? They were still new tech and prone to problems - such as what is happening now with simple planetary interference. Even ground pounders had to get to where they were going in a transport.
