In just over five minutes, T’Pris entered the area with science tricorder in hand. “Ensign, you called for a consult?” She asked as she paused and activated her tricorder. All she could see was the Engineer kneeling before an open panel. But she could see the faint trail on the floor and noted that it did not look like any ship board fluid just pooling on the floor. It rather looked like a trail that had moved into the panel rather then out of it.

He looked back at her. “I did. And the trail used to be the most interesting part.” He motioned for her to come to where she could see the creature.

The creature didn’t move, at least to the visible eyes, but T’Pris would most definitely pick up an air of despair that had become more prominent the closer she had come to the area.

T’Pris activated her science tricorder to take readings of the trail and the creature as she came forward. “This creature is sentient to some degree.” She said as she looked over Pierce’s shoulder at it. “I can feel despair emanating from it.” She frowned as she attempted to reach out mentally to the creature while keeping her own mental shields up in case it reacted instinctively and lashed out. She sent a feeling of calm toward it while at the same time a questioning sense to see if it could relay to her what was wrong.

OOC: I’ll be LOA until Monday due to wedding, hope it won’t slow down things too much.

The creature didn’t respond to T’Pris’ mental touch. But the tricorder was reading an exceedingly low metabolic rate that may or may not be normal. But considering the feelings it seemed to be able to emit, it was likely that it had a much higher metabolism under normal circumstances.

Meanwhile, Pierce would notice that the organic trail went of into the next panel as well.

OOC: Forgot a bit!

“Despair, huh?” Mark looked at the trail. “It’s been all over this section. Now, I was a Marine. Which is the short way of saying I spent a lot of time in jungles searching for targets, or lost troops. Any chance this could just be a mama looking for her kids? Basic animal instincts. Ran into our power relay. That’s a block in the road, took a bite to get through.”

T’Pris’ brow raised up as she continued scanning.”It appears to go into this second panel as well, could you remove it?” She asked as she tried to fine tune the tricorder to give her a more specific reading on the creature. Such as what type of creature it was, how its inner system worked and why it might be interested in their system. Was it siphoning energy from their system for food? Was it in a hibernation state now that it was sated?

Mark understood at this point that once he had called down to science, he was just a grease monkey. A crowbar with a uniform. He lifted the next panel. He was still interested though, so he looked down to see where the trail went. Most likely to another panel for him to lift.
