Hunter then turned to the man ‘’Say we heard that some of the people cut ties with the Federation and went to live on the planet Unity …do you know why?’’ he asked.

‘’Are you hesitating to answer my question?’’ he asked the man ‘’Trust me there’s nothing to be afraid off we’re hear to help’‘.

=/\= Commander Royal. Please interview the man we rescued in Conference Room-B, Deck 3. I believe Doctor Hunter is waiting for you with Cara Meow. Glen out! =/\=

Hunter slapped his forehead =/\= Cmdr Royal since no one opened the Captain’s office door we are now at the briefing room so please make your way in here
=/\=

“I think I ought to get started, whether the Commander is here or not,” Cara announced to Hunter. “Would you stay too Doctor Hunter? You can be his chaperone and let me know if you think the questions are over-taxing him.”

Hunter replied in the affirmative.

Cara squeezed in through the door, sighing once again about the human-centric design of the Merrimack doorways and consoles. She sat and indicated that everyone else should. New information from the Bridge immediately popped up on her terminal concerning the meteor shower, the sickness, and colony wide quarantine of any traffic or comms in or out that was possibly a cover up for something else, and the feasibility of posing as a hermit group with a home out in the woods using fake ID’s. Cara would need to be careful about asking anything about the latter though; she had no idea where this man’s political loyalties would lie, and if this was actually going to be the Captain’s plan, then Michael’s hope to be quickly reunited with his family and mother in law might need to wait until after they had gone down. For all she knew, Michael could immediately give them up to the authorities and be totally on board with the cover up.

The male doctor peered over Cara’s shoulder at the information.

“Hello Michael,” Cara began. “My name is Cara Meow. I am the ship’s Xenoanthropologist and Sociologist. My passion is to discover new cultures and new civilisations. This is Doctor Hunter, who you already know. I believe that Commander Royal will join us shortly. We simply want to ask you a few questions so that we can determine what happened to the Unity colony. We know that the colony isn’t too happy with the Federation’s attitude towards religious separatist groups like your planet, and I want to assure you that this visit is purely a humanitarian one. The Federation today, embraces diversity and social justice, and value the equality of persons and the dignity of life. The ‘Outreach Programme’ that has sent us, is merely concerned with the sudden loss of communications traffic, and breakdown in mining and industrial activity, and whether this was a sign of some natural catastrophe to which we should lend a hand. Now that we have arrived, we have found reports of a meteor shower about the time of the breakdown but some questions over whether that explains what we have observed. Can you tell us in your own words what you know about this?”

Hunter stood back letting Cara do all the talking.

“We know that there was Comms traffic about a disease before it all went quiet and non-responsive, and yet everything appears normal now down on the planet, apart from the black-out of Media and Comms. Did you hear anything about that? Maybe your family mentioned something strange? What about myths, legends, local folklore, that kind of thing; heard anything before that might explain it?

Hunter closed his transmitter, pulling a chair next to the man and put a Padd and pen in front of him ‘’ Would you give us a layout of the place you lived in, a map of some sort and who reside where ? Every society has a member or members of authority whose responsibility ,service and role are for the sake of things running smoothly within that society ‘’ he’s voice was calm and tranquil .

<reply>

“Could you also tell us about those people in authority? Are they approachable and willing to listen to us, and let us fix whatever tech is broken, or will they treat us a imperialists with a hidden agenda, only come to take advantage of their current weakness, and try to kick us off the planet? And do the ordinary people find their leaders charismatic and popular, and will the ordinary people follow them without question, whether that would be to accept our help, or to come as an angry chanting mob?” Cara added.

• Cara, Lt.

Hunter finally had some answers by the man, as he was getting impatient .He glanced at Cara and thought she was the one for this kind of situation seeing how patient and calm she had been ‘’ Mr Duck , thanks for providing us with some answers, we just want to help but only if the people on Unity wants us too ‘’.

Hunter Dr.
