Heather nodded. “Lieutenant Grey and Sub-Lieutenant T’Mera can set-up the monitors we do have to try and see where the cats go. Mark the map as best as possible Lieutenant so they know where to go.

“As for the caves, we’ll have to do our best to avoid just avoid the cats as much as possible. The teams back home is not really going to accept the idea that they have to avoid an area just because there is some wildlife in the area. Because that is going to be the way it is in a lot of areas. If we do want to rule out this area for possible mining, we are going to have to do a lot more extensive survey. That means going into the caves.

“Lieutenant Black, take Ensign Serinde and get closer to the caves. Find us as good of an entrance to the cave system as you can, and lets try to avoid the cats okay?”

Looking over the survey and relayed scans from the Sojourner showed the closest entrance on the maps was about a mile or so away up a slight incline to their east. The entrance opened into what seemed a deep cave mouth and then from what scans showed would twist/split/descend into other tunnels going every which way. Life signs so far showed the big cats mentioned weren’t nearby the closest surface dwelling pack being a group of six or so about 4 miles off to their north and east.

OOC: I’m cutting out the scout split since those two left as noted in the other thread. Anyone still doing stuff at base camp now reply from here on out! Still got those monitors to setup as the XO said before regrouping to go cave diving!
