“Lt. Michaels how is the pulse of the crew?” Sid asked. He did not need everyone to agree with his actions but he did want to know their mood. Because that may be the difference of them following an order or taking a quick action. His CNS was the one he trusted to keep that finger firmly pressed on that pulse.

Parker CO

“I’d say most are nervous, Captain” The Counselor replied as he glanced around at those on the Bridge. “Though I’m sure that’s mixed with curiosity and excitement.” That part was definitely true with him.

CNS

“As they access systems they have to check the automatic programs. Much like turning on a computer, each one has a series of auto-runs that could start a process we don’t want. In layman’s terms they have to start everything in ‘safe’ mode.”

Kolar

“Send that info to them Commander.” The Captain told Balfor.

“Will do,” Kolar sent such a message.

It was starting to make for some strange moments. It was like at every turn they came up with a solution and then something happened that made them second guess their previous actions.

Parker CO

Mirri turned around “If the Iconians are on the surface, could our away team be in danger. We know that the Iconians don’t like interfereance. ”

Helm

=/=How about if these are the Iconian? They can asume corporal form. What if they did this to themselves, knowing they were trapped here. What if they do not know they are Iconians?” .=/= The Captain suddenly said. It sounded odd but somehow it sounded right too. He had opened the com so the Dragoon could hear it too.

Parker CO

=^=That’s what I intend to find out, sir,=^=Jason replied as if he had been conversing with Parker the entire time. =^=Toro and Gould managed to send some computer files up to us and I wanted to compare the DNA from the derelict’s medical files to the readings taken of the natives down on the planet. The thing is, I’m hesitant to send the computer files to the Olinski since if I remember correctly the USS Yamato was destroyed by an Iconian computer virus. I’m thinking, worse case scenario, we better have a spare starship. Do we have a spare a computer scientist or astro-archeologist we can beam to the Dragoon to analyze the data?=^=

Jason Harn, XO

=^= COS to Olinski. The locals may not be aware of these tunnels. We have discerned that they were built using material from the planet itself, but the builder is unknown. At this time, I don’t believe there would be any benefit heading deeper into the network. Mr. Kolar has already gained access to the network and there are no life signs down there. At present a native child has entered the cave. We are going to return him to his village and report back =^=

COS Ch’zaolrirh

=^=The Iconians are a dead race, if you happen to find one in any condition you will have made the most celebrated discovery in 500 years.=^= then under his breath, if you survive.

Kolar

=^=Exactly, but what if the ‘natives’ you found the surface are the descendants of the Iconians?=^= Jason replied to the chief science officer. =^=The derelict is the remains of an Iconian colony ship. From what I’ve been told, the people you found on the surface haven’t thought for themselves for generations. What if they were descended from the Iconians and don’t know it? Of course, there’s always Mister Gould’s theory that the Iconians became marooned on this planet and created that microwave mind control trap so they could hijack someone else’s starship. In that case there’s a possibility that the people down on the planet are descended from whoever they hijacked, but I’m thinking they’re the descendants of the Iconians. We’ve got some files from the derelict’s computer but we’ll need a computer specialist or an astro archeologist to decrypt them. Got anybody on your staff you can recommend, Commander?=^=

Jason Harn, XO

=^=An exo-archaeologist? That is an uncommon major,=^= Kolar thought for a moment, =^=Ellen Ripley has a minor in advanced dead races, she wrote a paper her senior year for her history class on the Iconians… it was very good. She received an A , I would have given it a B+.=^= He looked around for a moment, =^=But I digress, the best computer specialist we have… trying not to be immodest, is me.=^=

OOC: We have no active junior science officers or I would have used them.
