Rachel nodded and went straight to work. Having already moved the injured to a specific location as she assisted with the transfer she thought it would be considerably easier than it would have been earlier. Seeing as she didn’t possess the linguistic abilities of their communications officer she tried to indicate to the more injured to follow her, speaking calmly to them the tall Scot indicated to the side so she could start general assessment and treatments.Dr. Grey - CMO
Alan decided to help. “Zahal-tor hassu Grey. Fan-veh dash-tor, zahal-tor wuh hassu.” (Follow Doctor Grey. Anyone injured, follow the doctor.)
The Doctor smile her crooked smile at the linguist and gave him a thankful nod.
After relaying that the Raiders had fled Dal’s clan disembarked from their shuttle pod of sorts and returned slowly to the main room. In this time Grey was able to discern some of the injuries and ailments and in her mind triage them. In essence there were no ‘injuries’ from any kind of industry or battle but simply living and where there had been limited medical availability. There were a couple of poorly set bones, minor burns and a two birth defects by the look of it - one being a leg shorter than the other and another a kind of skin deformation.
With the people out engineering could get a better look at the engines and function of the cobbled together repairs on their travel pod and remove panels and such to expose the real guts and ‘work’.
Slowly the Zool group approached until they were hovering close by. It was a pod not unlike the one that they were going to escape in, only this one had what looked to be projectile weaponry on the outside and what might be a form of torpedo launcher slung underneath. However, the pod was not in any better shape than Dal’s and looked even the worse for wear as it appeared to have seen some conflict.
- WookieeAri then tapped her chair. [O]Baumann, we can’t get too involved. But if all sides are willing to ‘talk’ then let’s at least get them together. Perhaps between them they can figure things out. But we shouldn’t offer more than standard first aid. Anything more would either be more or less than they are used to and could cause more problems than it helps. [O] Her voice struggled to remain steady.

CO“Sir? Should I send Clan Zool to the Bonaventure?” Alan asked.

=^=I have suggested that our ship might be a suitable neutral spot for negotiations, Captain.=^= T’Leia tapped her combadge to ask the Captain.
T’Leia
Naomi nodded while she listened to T’Leia mention about contacting the Captain and check on the Raider’s status. It was a good idea. Sensing T’Leia’s anxiety, the junior officer frowned and considered what she could do in order to ease it.
Her thoughts were distracted when Alan spoke to Dal, then to Baumann.
When Baumann mentioned her coordinating with the Engineering time, she nodded.
“On it.”
She moved over to help to help the Engineers as she began to analyze data from the nearest console.

Rachel started by working with what she had. Repairing badly healed bones was a simple procedure, at least in theory, repair any damage she could find and reset them without overly hurting her patients. She worked quickly and efficiently, identifying a detrimental problem, assessing the injury and treating it with care.
Dr Grey - CMO
The patients were not ‘that’ many, but the time required to work with each one was more than Grey may have thought. Their bone structure was less dense and their bones thinner and so any work in that was a more detailed affair. She was, however, in each one, able to develop a sense of trust from them and their language which was certainly alien, became easier to follow. Dal came by in line, holding out his left arm. A scan would show that it had been fractured at one time and some shards were messing with nerves running close to the bone.
“You would be a elder healer among my clan/family,” he said. “Where do you live?”Rachel rummaged in her medkit and grabbed the necessary equipment to realign the bone and remove the fragments. Giving Dal a friendly smile as she began her work, first sedating her arm so she could properly remove the shards “I live on the Bonnie, our ship, B-deck like all the rest” He said as she worked “But I’m from Earth, the Homeworld to us Humans. Place called Scotland”
“Scot Land,” Dal repeated. “Is it dark like here? Does it have a Great Eye over you too?”
- WookieeRachel half smiled as she continued her work “Ah no It’s very different. We come from a planet not a grand sphere like this. It can get very bright” She explained taking care not to use too big a concept or details.
“Bright?” Dal asked. “Like the lights here?” He pointed to the glowing strip above them which afforded a muted glow rather than a ‘bright’ orb.
“No, well yes we do have lights” Doctor Grey added quickly “But our home planet orbits a Star we call the sun which is, in fact, a Sun” Rachel spoke with her usual dry humour “Though I don’t suppose ye have any point of reference for what I’m discussing, perhaps we’ll have time to look at some pictures later.”
“I would like to see a sun,” Dal said.
Rachel nodded quietly as she finished her work on the chatty alien. Until this moment she hadn’t realized the deep sadness in living in a place like this, the incredibly tight spaces and great darkness. She smiled less enthusiastically and focused on her work.
Baumann activated his communicator. [O] Captain, while I agree that we shouldn’t become overly involved, I do suggest that our role as a mediator of sorts may prove valuable for all parties. I recommend that we take up the Commander’s suggestion and convene a meeting on board the Bonaventure. [O]
Baumann, XO
Engineering would have a harder time. The console was in an alien script and made little sense to them as the language did not seem to match anything on the written side. Another .. alternative may be in order.
- WookieeDr Grey - CMO
Baumann watched as the others prepared for the next phase of operations. Seeing the Engineering team trying to decipher the alien script, Baumann said “Maybe ask Dal if he can translate. That may help increase our chances of getting the shuttle operational.”
Baumann, XO
Alan approached Dal. “Mokuhlek du gol’nev etek telv-tor ish-veh tum-vel? ish-veh tor unfamiliar ek’mishan.” (Can you help us read your computers? It is unfamiliar technology.)
-Lt(j.g.) Alan Dysart, Linguist
Dal, still being treated by the doctor looked up. A flash of almost fear crossed his features. “I do not know machines.” He looked down. Was that an ashamed looked? Pointing over to another of his clan, he said, “Yul. He knows this more than any here in the clan/family.”
Dr. Grey - CMO
Baumann opened his communicator. [O] Baumann to Bonaventure. We are attempting repairs and performing triage on the wounded. Is there any update to our situation form your end? [O]
Baumann, XO
Wookiee
“I am looking na’ wuh sasu ahmau Yul. Etek bolaya assistance operating ish-veh tum-vel.” (I am looking for a man named Yul. We require your assistance operating your computers.) Alan said to various people, looking for the person Dal had named.
Lt(j.g.) Alan Dysart, Linguist
Naomi looked at the alien language and began to think of a solution. Her first thoughts were to try to attempt to find similarities with the Vulcan language and this one, but it would’ve taken too long. It didn’t help she knew very little about the Vulcan language itself. For a dark moment, her heart sank at her uselessness.
She resisted the urge to step back from the console. It was the hardest thing she had ever done. Her father’s voice echoed in her head with questions and insults to her intelligence, hints of her less than perfect childhood. She inhaled and gradually calmed her trembling hands.
Her head tilted toward Dan, who was wading through the small crowd and shouting. She hoped he would find this Yu quickly.
–ENS Naomi D. Locke, Sci.
The search found Yul in a corner, which was challenging in a place that had almost no corners. In fact nobody could recall having seen him before; he didn’t come when there was the call to evacuate. If anyone looked frightened, Yul was the poster boy for this. Huddled between the wall and a piece of furniture he looked up terrified when approached. Physically he was, paradoxically, perhaps the most physically imposing of them all with a wider body and somewhat thicker limbs, though still nothing compared to the away team. “Yul,” he said.
“Ish-veh nam-tor alright. Du nam-tor heh dungi nam-tor safe” (It is alright. You are and will be safe.) Alan motioned for Yul to join him and the engineers. “Mokuhlek du mesukh-tor ra aifa ish-veh tar-tor fi’ aifa gluvayek?” (Can you translate what these it says on these monitors?)
T’Leia studied the picture of the alien vessel coming into the sphere.”Does that not look familiar? It looks like that ship we saved?” She asked Barr and Locke. Straightening she closed her eyes as she cleared her mind and reached out to the vessel telepathically.
Do you know this place? Why do you come here?T’Leia
Naomi frowned at T’Leia’s questions. She had been so focused on the console that she hadn’t noticed the alert indicating a ship was coming in. Immediately the Junior officer shifted her attention to the incoming threat and checked for an image, her mind hoped she could identify it.–ENS Naomi D. Locke, Sci.
There was indeed a reply. One that was stronger than she recalled from before. The Prison. It is the Prison. We come to go. Through the gate.
Dr. Grey - CMO
T’Leia frowned as she pondered the answer. They wished to go through the singularity?
James
- WookieeA moment later, Ari’s voice came the comm. [O] X… I mean, T’Leia… We have visual on the Aarya ship we encountered before this. Have you had any contact? They’re heading the door and I don’t like it. Round everyone up in case we need emergency evac of you all. [O]
Ari
CO=^=It would seem, Captain that they wish to go through the singularity. They do not seem to have any designs of the people here though what their going through the singularity will cause, I do not know. I will attempt to speak with them more.=^=
Is there danger to the people here if you go through the gate? She sent. She was not one to wish to stop people looking for freedom but she hoped it would not cause harm to those here.
T’Leia
Rachel motioned her small group of injured to prepare to move once more. Desspite the group having a universal translator and a linguist she felt more comfortable using simple movements.
Dr. Grey - CMO
Alan looked back and saw Rachel motioning for the injured to move. God. Yul. Come on. We need a little help. He thought.
-Lt(j.g.) Alan Dysart, Linguist
Breaking off from the doctor, Dal went over to Yul. “Help them,” he simply said. “They help us. We live because of them and have escaped falling into the great Eye.” He turned to the others. “Accident when he was younger. He fears. He knows how to fix things better than us and the Zool clan but he fears.” Turning back to Yul, he said, “Come,” and took his arm to lift him to his feet. After looking into one anothers’ eyes he at last nodded.
“He will go with you,” Dal said. “He will help.”
Indeed, with some gazes of trepidation to the ‘aliens’ he did go with them to their shuttle pod.
Meanwhile, the Zool transport docked with the family sphere with a noticeable shudder through the complex. “The Zool come. “
So too was the larger transport approaching from the Sphere City and would be within range in minutes.
- Wookiee[O] Baumann… What’s going on out there? [O] Ari’s voice sounded pleasant, but the edge was there if he listened for it. [O] Incoming company… I need to know if I should deter them from approaching… [O] He would have heard her message to T’Leia about the approaching Arryha.
Ari
COBaumann opened his communicator. [O] Captain, we are trying to get the Dal shuttle operational. Clan Zool has arrived, I believe to assist. At this point, the previously described ‘Raiders’ also have a ship approaching. As to the new vessel, I do not know. What I do know is that these habitats are extremely delicate, Captain. Any kind of conflict is going to cause potentially catastrophic damage. Again, I recommend we convene some kind of negotiation between parties. And due to the rather unstable environment here, I recommend we bring delegates to the Bonaventure. Sooner rather than later, Captain. [O] His voice was calm and even, his thick German accent making his words sharp. But the last sentence was certainly emphasized.
Baumann, XO
AFter having moved the injured Rachel took a position hwere she could easily monitor the small group and keep an eye on her crewmates. She made a mental check of the medical supplies she had utilized here and on whom she used them.
