“If everyone is rested up now, let’s get going again,” Glen said. “Let’s go and do what we came here to do!”

Hunter rolled his eyes, apparently Glen knew how to rest by taking a nap ,he stood up ‘’Let’s get going then Captain ‘’ he replied putting his back pack on and rearranging the helmet .

Old habits die hard ,the doctor picked a stone and as they moved he would do a tiny scratch on the walls, since they were far from smooth only Hunter would be able to pick it up if needed.

Sharp took his position at the back ,with phaser in hand for the last thing he wanted was to get in trouble with his dept head .Seeing Hunter scratch the jagged walls he didn’t need to be a genius to know why ‘’Say doctor did you see or hear anything? ‘’he asked.

Hunter shook his head ‘’Just dripping water and remember don’t touch any Fungus it might turn you into a zombie ‘’ he chuckled ‘’ Just like on Earth it turn ants and cave spiders ‘’ he did not elaborate further after all this was not Earth ‘’Thanks you really know how to help make someone more at ease !’’ the security remarked.

Glen smiled at Hunter’s joking, but he actually wished now that he had brought down Cara Meow on this landing party, rather than leaving her behind on the Merri. There was a very good chance that there was some kind of sentient native fauna or flora here that hadn’t been contacted yet, something like the silicon based Horta that the USS Enterprise had discovered in the mines of Janus VI. A xeno-biologist would have been useful right now. However, he kept his thought to himself. This away team, as they had begun to call these assembled landing parties, was already jumpy enough without Glen adding to their fears.

From ahead, Eros heard the others stirring and making their way in his direction.

Turning his light back on, he stepped to the side to let M’Mere take the lead . . . . .

M’Mera rose easily and led them out. The away team didn’t run into any problems and reached the end of the worked tunnel. The end of the tunnel that led into the older tunnels was full of debris. It appeared to be made of boards, largish stones and metal pieces. It was obvious that this would take some time to shift the debris enough to get through.
The tunnel was about 6 1/2 feet high and at least 5 ft wide. The debris pile was at least 4 ft high and filled the opening.

‘’Oh great our first hurdle ‘’ Hunter muttered ‘’ Right guys lets start shifting these debris just enough to make a pathway by the side for us to walk through..just be careful’’ he said as an after thought .The last thing he wanted was someone to get hurt ‘’Captain,Lt M’Mera shall we divide ourselves so two or three of us start removing and pass them to the other two which they’ll put to the side ?’’ the doctor asked.

Hunter Dr.

“Very good! Let’s make it happen,” Glen replied.

• Glen, CO

M’Mera nodded and moved forward to heave the first stone and passed it back to the Captain. This job would take a few hours at this rate. M’Mera stopped before picking up a second one,
“Captain, Sharrp and I have phaserrs , they do not worrk on ssignalss but on Nadeon parrticless. Why do we not usse thesse to make a way thrrough thesse rrocks? Doctorr, would that be dangerrouss to do herre?”She asked looking back at Hunter.

Hunter was about to pick up something from the debris ‘’Swee…’’ he abruptly stopped ,what the hell was he thinking ‘’Lt it might work but my concern is we all are in a tight space and there is a chance that any shred fragments, broken bits and pieces might hit us ,what if we remove what we can and leave enough space for us to crawl through the other side?’’ .

Hunter Dr.

“Oooooorrrr, we could just disintegrate with our phasers some of the rubble to clear a path?”

“That’ss what I wass thinking…” M’Mera said as she glanced toward the Captain.
