As Blaze would finish his work making simple tools made up of a wooden hammer, screwdriver, and two cutting saws the computer voice spoke again =/\= No response detected vocally on inquiry. Observation and mental pattern adjustment of all test subjects complete. Proceeding with further testing. Initiating contact protocol test 1A=/\= It stated.

Vanishing as if by some sort of transporter beam the table that Blaze had just worked on vanished from their view. Ahead then sliding into the walls was their next room. Which from what little they could see led into some kind of forested biome! The air rushing into their current room was scented by a fresh breeze almost pine like in its odor. They could also make out the faint sound of some kind of wildlife chirping or buzzing away ahead too. How big it was though was impossible to say due to the large thick tree like cover.

William breathed in the air, the smell of fresh pine was a bracing change. He turned back and smiled at the group and spoke with much too great enthusiasm. “I guess it’s picnic time” The Texan said looking at the welcome change of scenery. Turning back he looked at the Captain “Say, Commander, you’re like a brain doctor or something, should he be unconscious for so long? Can’t imagine that it’s healthy” If he was at all concerned it didn’t show in his voice.

Mwezi stretched out his arms slightly, fingers and wrists cracking slightly. He then bent down and picked up the captain again, grunting slightly as he stepped forward into the forested area. His nose worked in overdrive, his much more sensitive senses able to pick up things the humanoids might not be able to.

Dr. Blaze went over to the captain “ how are you feeling sir. You have to stay warm with out your cybernetic we need to keep you warm and you blood pumping” he said as he put a hand on the captains forehead to check for signs of fever. Blaze was very good in his medical training if the engineering job didn’t turn out he would have went the medical route.

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

The smells of the forest and Blaze touching him woke him up. He blinked his good eye and wondered where the heck he was. Was he dreaming. His jaw told him he was not because he could still feel the pain of the hit. He had to admit for a little woman she packed quite a whollup!

In a strained voice he tried to say something but then realized he was moving without moving. He saw huge fur arms and paws holding him up and sighed that at least it was Mwezi and not a Cardassian holding him up.

“Wh....wha… what is going on? What did I miss?” He finally said.

Captain Chris Taggart CO

Will hesitated at the sound of the waking Captain. Hopefully, he’d quickly regain his senses and previous attitude. He then turned around and smiled at the injured man and spoke in his natural Texan accent “Well sure, the Commander there punched you out cold, assumed command then led us to the forest of the damned” His voice more cheerful than anyone had heard him, just the fact that he was smiling so widely and so naturally was unusual, even uncomfortable. “We’‘ve got some basic tools and good spirits”

CSO

“Well you’re in a chipper mood. I feel like 3-CPO after he found the stormtroopers in episode 5. When Chewbacca found him in pieces. Thank you Mwezi for helping me. Maybe if it’s not too much of a problem you can tie me to your back like Chewie did to 3PO to make it easier to carry him?”

Chris was back to his regular mood.

Captain Chris Taggart CO

Mwezi let out a breath of air. “This is fine. You are quite lightweight.”

Mwezi

Taiya brought up the rear, still feeling a little guilty for hitting the Captain so hard, even though it had been an order. As they entered the biodome, her stomach grumbled as she tried to recall the last time she had eaten. “Perhaps we could find some food in here?” she mused as she looked around for anything edible. She gave a quick apologetic smile to Chris, hoping he wasn’t the kind to hold a grudge.

Commander Keali (XO)

Dr. blaze went back to work “ capt. are you feeling cold at all any soreness I need discomfort except for not having a cybernetic prosthetics”

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

“He’s not the Captain.” Reid said, speaking for the first time in oddly long. “Captain Keali relieved him of command per Section C of Starfleet Code 104. As far as the Chernov is concerned, he is relieved of all duties. And he’s no use to us in here.” There was an amount of disdain for Taggart in Reid’s voice that suggested explanations might be necessary later.

“We need to proceed using the tools Dr Blaze made.” Reid looked at Chris for the first time in a while. Referring to their encounter earlier, he said “He’s fortunate we didn’t leave him behind.” He turned sharply to Keali. “Orders Captain?”

-Dr Alex Reid, CE

Blaze got pissed “ wow is this the sorry excuse for Star fleet officers to act. We don’t ever leave a man behind as far as I know what makes someone a captain is not the ability to act that you think and use their experience” Blaze tossed the tool belt to them. How can just say he was no use to them. But one thing was sure it was going to report Reid first Thing when they get back to the ship for saying “He is lucky we didn’t leave him behind” the word echoes in his head even for a man of science that was the words of a coward not a Star fleet officer.

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineeer)

Mwezi pointedly ignored Ried, but gave a slight nod to Blaze. He sniffed the air a few times, trying to make out any scents other than what was obvious.

Mwezi, CTO

Blaze look at the opening “ok if we need to survive in there we need to scout for a good campsite fine clean water supply and get a fire going for heat and of course with the cutting tools we can make some spears for weapons” he said after a bit a warm fire will be good for mr. Taggart ”Has any one know the heal risks of take cybernetic away from someone using then a lot of times they help pump blood they help warm the body.....my goal here is to help us ALL get back to the ship”

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

William looked intently at the Captain then at the first officer. He thought that Reid understood the situation but it was clear to him his junior officer wasn’t onboard. He steeled himself, stretched his neck and gave Mwezi a look “Lieutenant” he said in a gruffer tone than he’d used before “You can put the Captain down, I have a feeling you’ll be more useful doing your job than being a” He looked at Taggart “A chewer, whatever he said. We’ll take turns carrying him.” he looked at the Captain and smiled at him “It won’t be as comfortable for you little Timmy” He kept hope that his uncalled for cruelty wasn’t taken seriously “As for you two” He pointed a finger at the two engineers. First focusing on the Chief Engineer “We’re well informed of whose in charge so remove your nose from the brass’ rear” He turned to Blaze “and as for you ensign” He took step and placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled cruelly “don’t hurt yourself with all that grandstanding. He then gently squeezed the mans shoulder in a reassuring way whilst staring straight in his eyes in complete contrast to his cruel words and demeanour hoping that he would understand his very vague sentiment.

From sights unseen the computerized voice spoke again =/\= Entry into biome complete, beginning observation of survival and endurance test 1A among testing group Beta. Contact with test group Alpha should commence in the coming hours..=/\= It said. Evidently their designation as a test group beta and meeting another test group alpha meant there were others in this biome somewhere with them, how many or who they were was a mystery still.

Behind them the doorway they had come through closed and the wall lowered with a shudder in the dirt floor around them. Around them the forest trees hid much of the canopy above as was the details of the ceiling or sky. It was impossible to say at present whether they were in a real forest, a very large artificial forest in a building or structure, or some kind of advanced holographic simulation at this time. Still looking about they did see some variety of plant life which consisted of berries, fungus, bugs, and such all which they could try to eat which given they had not eaten since awakening and were unconscious for who knew how long at least a few days hunger and water would be priorities very soon as was evident given the testing parameters theri computer based watcher spoke of.

For now it would probably be best to find somewhere to setup a camp and secure food and water sources, not to mention getting a lay of the land and watch out for this ‘test group alpha’.

GM CockRoach

OOC: Just waiting for you guys to take the lead on the hints i gave to do things…’

GM CockRoach

Mwezi put the captain down and sniffed the air some more, searching for any hint of other beings. He went to the nearest bush of berries and sniffed it briefly, then took a berry and brought it over to one of the humans. “Human skin is sensitive. Mush this against your skin and see if there’s a bad reaction. If there is, it’s poisonous.”

He left them to that and went to a tree, sizing it up briefly before turning to a slightly thicker tree and beginning to clamber up, his sharp claws and strong limbs serving him as well as those of a black bear.

Mwezi, CTO

William scratched his head at Mwezi’s actions. The man was a complete mystery to him, seemingly unphased by everything going on including their apparent changes in personality “Well you the man” He tossed the Berries to Doctor Blaze “Get to rubbing” He said with a cruel smile.

CSO

Blaze don’t like being used as a tester “ With all due respect sir why don’t you rub yourself what if I am Allergic and go into sort of shocked. We have no med to save us and I don’t like you using my life like this. I would hope a man of science you will understand that”

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

William didn’t look away or change his expression “And what if I’m allergic?” He shot back “Besides it’s just a little science experiment, if a Human is allergic to it you will simply develop a rash like the good Weapons Chief said. Besides didn’t you say you wanted to help us all get back?” He didn’t wait for a response “If it helps you can consider it an order” This was almost good, he wasn’t sure if the challenge to authority was genuine or not but it was good friction. Now how far could he push this.
