Looking through the scans in more detail from their immediate area, the tempeture was about 60 (whatever the romulan term is for F/C i forget atm), slightly chilly to some but otherwise fine, the breeze though made it feel more like 55 or so. Immediate local wildlife signs was a small birds that seemed at home in the nearby thicker trees about 16 in total in various cluster of nests. The scans showed they had a biological make up which probably would be useful for cooking meat in a meal, allowing an eater to have a higher endurance for a short time for calorie burning purposes. Lastly about 40 or so feet away to their left a large bush with tiny sticker thorns but with a quite lovely looking purple toned flower showed scans that indicated the plant sap, and the flower itself would likely have many medicinal or poisonous uses once properly broken down and mixed with other such things.
Rh’vaurek’s voice came over the comms. “SubCommander Narva, we will maintain a transporter lock for as long as we can. If you need transport, we are here.”
Commander Rh’vaurek Deletham
The question now that they were planet side was where would they go to start?

As the leader of the mission, Narva needed to set the direction. =^=Acknowledged Commander=^= he responded to the call from the ship. He turned his attention back to the mission at hand. “Any points of interest worth investigating?”
SubCmdr Narva
Rul looked up from the scanner and said “We have multiple native species in the area, Subcommander. Additionally, a sample of that botanical could prove useful.” and he indicated the bush with purple flowers.

Karek had his gear with him, ready for anything. The alien planet was so beautiful and pristine. He was proud that this was part of the jewels of the Romulan empire. Now, if they only could spread the message of the empire to the people too.
“Are we gonna go meet the natives?” he asked, a bit impatient with their reconnaissance.
– Subcenturion Karek
Meeting the locals was not going to happen. That was not part of the mission. “No, not unless we can do so without them seeing us.” It was best to continue on their routine survey mission. “We need to survey the flora, fauna and minerals of the planet. So we’ll start with those botanicals.”
SubCmdr Narva
Once the group decided to begin their gathering of the local fauna the time went quickly over the next half hour of cataloging information and samples. They all though in this time would feel the occasional tickle in their noses or annoying itchiness behind ears or neck.....

“CHOO!” A Uhlan sneezed from the back of the group. Despite trying to muffle it, the sound seemed much louder than it probably was.
Nameless Uhlan
The sudden sneeze of the Uhlan caused a few hidden birds nearby to take flight into the air, about 9 in total. One or two hung around in the air circling to caw or squack annoyingly at the team before circling away and going elsewhere. Meanwhile about this point the team had gathered enough local samples from the plants and such nearby that they could move on to another objective. Though they all again felt a slight itchiness and tickle in their noses from the work. Maybe it was just something irritatingly in the air?
