: : : : : : : : : : Johann holstered his phaser. Ms. Pondbottom, eh? Fortunately, that was an adult, so he had far fewer qualms about exercising the full power of his fury on her.
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : Once the mugato was down, Vora moved her long legs swiftly to the hatch where the young ones disappeared into, phaser still in hand. Opening it, she shook her head. “They’re gone. They might be still on the ship, but I doubt it,” she called back to Johann her voice dripping with irritation. Standing up, she called out, “Computer, has there been any transporter activity on the ship in the last thirty seconds?”

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : Lt. (j.g) Zorell, Sciences
: : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : =^=Yes. Four life signs beamed down to the surface of the planet 10 seconds ago.=^= The computer intoned the computer however would only be able to track the transport signature to a small field outside of the settlement and nothing beyond there.

: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : Vora sighed as she looked at Johann. “Well, I can’t see that as being a coincidence.” The story had seemed odd at first but she had known instinctively that there had to be someone beaming the pups up and it stood to reason that those same people beamed them back.
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : “Their DNA is on the environmental controls. They were responsible for the tampering,” the Security NE chimed in.
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : Lt. (j.g) Zorell, Sciences
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : “Raise the shields,” the Captain ordered as he made his way back to the command chair. He pressed a button that opened a communications channel to the Away Team.
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : =/\= Europa to Away Team. Avik, find Ms. Pondbottom, the Governor’s assistant, and have your security detachment detain her immediately. She’s responsible for transporting intruders onto Europa who have sabotaged the environmental controls. =/\=
: : :
: : : =^= Yes, sir.=^= Came Avik’s simple reply.

: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : “Let’s arm the phasers too,” he said somewhat casually. “That might show them we’re serious.”
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : – Johann Dvorak, CO
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Now that the immediate crisis taking place on the bridge had shifted, Vora moved swiftly to the science station and took over, scanning the planet for anything unusual as well as tracking where the away teams were.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Lt. (j.g) Zorell, Sciences
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Meanwhile, Rasmussen moved to the tactical station, raising the shields and arming the phasers. “Shields up and phasers at the ready, Captain.”
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : ~NE Rasmussen, Security
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Range sighed, and tapped his commbadge, at least he knew now what the alert was about. Well Abrams was with the Exec so that should be handled well. It was time to tell the Captain what he had learned.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : =/\=Range to Captain Dvorak, the rabbit hole goes a bit deeper. Apparently, these intruders are kept in cages, and are lesser=/\= the emphasis on that word made it clear it was a distasteful politeness, =/\=Citizens, being kept out of sight by order of the Governor=/\=
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : LtCmdr Range, CoS
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Johann’s eyebrows shot right up in disbelief.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : =/\= You know when they said that I thought they were making it up, =/\= he admitted rather casually, not realizing that what he was saying might have been picked up over the comm channel.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : =/\= Understood Range. Document everything you can and beam back to the ship immediately. It sounds like our original mission here is complete. Europa to Away Team, prepare to beam up. =/\=
: : : : : :
: : : : : : For a moment, the thought crossed his mind that he could and should overthrow this regime. That its barbarity could justify imposing freedom on these… people. But that would far exceed the scope of his mission here, and violate the Prime Directive. Johann didn’t actually think very much of the Prime Directive, but in this case he’d be willing to comply with it. If only because our little ship is not quite big enough, he thought.

: : : : : : – Johann Dvorak, CO
: : : : :
: : : : : Given her background, it wasn’t a stretch to imagine that, despite her quietness at her station, Vora was deeply disturbed. Angry even. Her thoughts fell into vein similar to Johann’s, though hers never considered the Prime Directive. She was seething, but quietly and for the time being, until she had something to report, she was keeping her mouth shut so she didn’t get herself into trouble.

: : : : =^=Understood Captain, Range Out=^= Range responded, it was his normal short and terse reply style, nothing to indicate an issue.

: : From the science labs, further reports continued to come in that the slime was still trying to expand when an unassuming ensign turned the heat back up and caused it to start growing again.

: The comms began sounding with a message from the Governor’s Mansion. It was Evergreen demanding and explaination for what was occurring currently.

=^=Avik to Dvorak, we have Pondbottom in custody.=^= Avik informed the bridge.
