George almost split his sides laughing. “Don’t catch the darn good doctaw her ya say that, there,” George told him. “She is right touchy about that there subject. She were done left in command whahl we docked at the darn Federashun space stashun. Unknown ta anyone ayn’ without any darn warnin’, they done turned off all theuurr defences faw some routahn maintenance. At witch darn point, an unknown species av darn subspace-living aliens done appeared out av nowhere ayn’ attacked us. Ay mean, it were almost as if doctaw Cross were set up!”

Joe chuckled at the reaction of mister Sheridan. “Yes, I’m well aware of what happened to her. ” Joe said. “It’s just that it’s so much fun to tease a person like Dr. Cross. She’s one of these perfectionists who can’t ever live up to her own expectations. And because of that she’s just way too easy tease about simple things.”

‘’Oh is that so! ‘’exclaimed Cross who had just stepped on the bridge .making her way to were Joe sat. The female doctor went on ‘’So you do the disappearing act ,leave the bridge, without the decency to even inform me and now you’re back laughing at my expense! Anyway could you at least care to tell me what is happening with our team ?’’ .

As the Chief Medical Officer she did expect to be notified of how things had been proceeding ,developing and/or advancing so far.

Cara looked up from her Scope ay the Science Station, “Sirs! The main team appear to be sitting around a large table in the village, surrounded by villagers, but not much appears to be happening there. The other smaller team has entered one of the mines and is out of sight now.”

As the folks on the bridge were watching things below or talking to each other, NE Gork a gruff Tellarite over at the science station spoke, “..Commander? Sensors just picked up a warp burst at the systems edge. But....looking on longer range sensors, and playing back the data well.....this doesn’t make sense!” he said in confusion.

After muttering to himself checking readings and obviously looking things over again to confirm he turned again, this time putting a playback up on the main viewer. On it they saw a 20 second video play of a warp pulse like a ship dropping from warp would. But instead of a ship they had....a large ice comet? “..I checked long range scans three times, the comet IS nothing but a big ball of iron and frozen water particulate. No signs of technology or other reasons it would be able to have dropped from warp. Its current speed is about half impulse and moving into the system. Current projections put it to pass by this planet in about 3 hours, it won’t hit or anything dangerous but the passing commentary gases and ice would enter and burn up in the planet’s atmosphere..” he said.

Joe after waiting much more patiently than he really cared to said, “So this comet won’t do anything just burn up the atmosphere? I sir would certainly not want to know what you might consider dangerous. Comets don’t go warp speed. And they don’t do say when we have a first contact going on with a formerly held Klingon planet. Someone has pulled the oldest trick in the book on us. They’ve thrown a rock. Take the ship to yellow alert.”

Looking over to Cara at the science station he asked her, “Cara could you please inform the captain and ask him to advise us please? Myself I’m all for leaving now. Three hours is not enough time. And someone stay on the long range sensors . Just in case the guys that threw the thing shows up.”

Cross was about to say something when Cara spoke,then she turned to look at Gork and last but not least her eyes fell on Joe ‘’Cmdr , is it a good idea to inform the Captain now ,with him sitting at a table which would undoubtedly mean the inhabitants are close by ? If you contact him now he would need to take out his cell phone and they might get suspicious especially since they do not understand our language ‘’ .

Cross CMO.

” And since they don’t speak our language without everyone playing around with the translators it shouldn’t be an issue doctor. ” Joe said in a dry voice. ” And one way or another my duty is to ship and crew first. If the CO wants to rescue any people on the planet that’s up to him.”

‘’Up too you then but you are his first officer and there is a reason you’re sitting in the Captain’s chair ‘’ Cross replied shrugging her shoulders ‘’I’m sure you do not want to jeopardize any positive steps the Captain could have undertaken so far ‘’.

Cross CMO.

Joe just looked at Cross and smiled as he said simply. ” Yes, I suppose there is a reason I’m sitting here and if you find a reason, please be so kind as to let me know, will you? But in the meantime, with a possible catastrophe looming, you may want to find the medical officer and get her to start getting the sick bay ready.”
