There was no way to test her theory but the Atlantis could use their scanners to do some deeper ground penetrating scans. This type of scan was not typically done for away teams since there was more to worry about on an away mission coming at you at ground level instead of coming at you from 100 kilometers below the surface. =/\= Atlantis Bridge, do a deep ground penetrating scan of the surface around the bunker.=/\=. Kelly didn’t want Jenn to be right based on the idea of thousands of sleeping insects below her feet however even extinct volcanos had heat far below the surface. It would be a natural incubator is her XO’s theory was correct.

Having come from a world of ice and insects being rather rare and insignificant the kind of critters he was more familiar with was what he found on other worlds. He really had given them little thought. “Insects can be dormant for long periods can they not?” he asked. “Or even in an extended pupae stage where they await certain conditions before emerging?” That, he thought, was about the limit of his biology of insects and that he learned from colleagues talking of butterflies and the likes that he had only seen in simulations.

OOC: Wow, if you knew what you just said, you’d lose your mind how close you were to the secret plot.
OOC: OMG what did I say as I rambled?! Re-reads …
OOC: sorry that is more than I should have said in the first place.

Looking at Tenzig and the rest of the team, she asked any of them, “so how are we coming with the hack of the bunker?”

The controls for the items on the other side of the wall were connected to the computer they were in the process of hacking.

“We’re coming along, Captain!” Trainor called out from the controls. He had some interesting encounters from his time lost in space, but giant insects would have made his skin crawl. If the theory was correct and they were to wake up, the team would be done for.

For now, it appeared that his Starfleet training in breaking encryptions was paying off, though the runabout’s computers were doing most of the work.

“Captain, we’re not going to tell any of the locals about the Federation’s doing are we?” Tenzing asked. “The Darkness appears to be POed as is, and I don’t want to see what happens when we increase that by 10 fold.”

“Telling them would not be my first choice,” Kelly replied to Tenzig as she waited to see what the deep-ground scans of the planet by the Altantis’ sensors would show along with any information they might have learned from the fleet of shuttles trying to hack the alien computer.

OOC: I;m not sure what you maybe looking for, its a pretty normal planet. There isn’t anything odd.

From the other room O’Farrell was listening. “Taking responsibility would be a poor choice. I’m no saying if we are ta deny it, but there are too many unknowns. We are postulatin’ that the wave did this, but we don’a know for sure. We don’a know what they were doin’ here that might have altered the effect or what spacial and quantum anomalies it encountered that might have changed the effect of the wave. And even more dangerous,” Cara looked at them all through the glass, “The darkness might see what happened ta them as divine intervention. We say we are responsible and we could be lookin’ at bein’ eaten alive as heretics.”

Lt. O’Farrell, Counselor

“Responsibility implies intent,” Jen added. “In no way from my recall was this even an experiment that went wrong. As much as Starfleet wants to right wrongs, right now we are making suppositions. We can’t right what we don’t even know the extent of the problem. Even if it is fixable now.” He glanced to O’Farrell and Tenzing. “I don’t relish being eaten either.”
- Jen, XO

OOC: There have been tons of things I’ve had to take responsibility for that I never intended. In fact, that’s most of the things I’ve had to take responsibility for.
OOC: True! But perhaps not in the eyes of our good XO :)

That being said the computer on the runabout, broke through both the computer encryption and the computer language. The two systems were interacting with each other, confusingly with the Federation officers still having no understanding of the language that the computer was originally programmed in. They now had all the functionality of the designers of the system. They also had the history of the system, what they did not have was a translation of the logs.

There was a beep from one of the crew working on the computer encryptions. “What do we have?” he asked.
- Jen, XO

The last event ordered was the mixing of the dark matter and the biomemetic gel. The ratio was recorded (but not relevant to the explanation) At that point a micro rift where a “wave” radiated from interacting with the matter/gel mixture and created an even larger wave and an even larger rift. The data then seemed to stop suddenly.

OOC: I’ll assume that we’re not able to read just the logs but that the rest would include imagery?
