As the Away Team finished their conversation with the ship they noted Platus, the Mining Leader, as he rounded the Admin building and approached them at a hurry.
“ Good news! The equipment is all working again! As if there was never anything wrong! It’s amazing! I have sent the miners back to work.” Indeed the Away Team could see that various miners moved around now, tool kits or other equipment in hand as they approached equipment or entered other buildings.

“Was this your doing? Have you found my people?” He asked anxiously.

“Nobody tells me nothing!” muttered Guy.

Stella stood up and brushed her clothing off as the man approached. She fixed him with a steely eye and found no joy at all in the man’s good news. The very idea that perfectly good equipment. All of it nearly had stopped at all for no discernible reason and then suddenly had started again was more than a little bit suspicious. And what made it worse was that one of the things that had broken down were her comms. She knew they had been in perfect shape before she’d left. She’d had to make sure of that to make that private call for the captain. She pointedly ignored the man and turned to Guy asking him. ” Guy is there anything at all you find odd about all this?”

“Do I find this odd?” Guy repeated the question for emphasis. “This entire planet is weird!” But Guy didn’t think it was his place to answer the question from Platus. He left it for one of those in charge here.

At that moment Guy’s transmitter started to bleep =/\= Sharp here …I thought I’ll let you know that we have found other beings living in the caves =/\= the security sounded excited =/\= They are showing us where and how they live ! =/\= he babbled on.

He reasoned there was no harm in contacting Guy without any orders from his D’H , who by the looks of it was having trouble getting up the stairs .

Guy had his communicator on a low volume, but was unsure how much the others and Platus might here. Guy quietly replied, =/\= Is there a connection with the return of Power and Comms up here? It would seem a big coincidence if it wasn’t, and the Mining Leader, Platus, has just walked in here asking about it, and where his missing people are? =/\=

“It’s Sharp,” he told Stella. “There have been some developments down below!”

=/\= Yes the connection is back even with the ship , they call themselves Aenar and there are thousands of them ..taking us where the two persons are and show us evidence of what the Romulans did. Guy don’t tell the miners and their boss anything maybe Platus is hiding something , cannot figure how they have gone undetected . How are you guys holding up there ? =/\= .

=/\= Are those the Captain’s orders, Sharp? Because that leader of miners is here in the room right now, asking for some answers! I’ll say that you don’t quite have the whole picture yet. We are okay, up here. You know they never listen to me as usual. We were worried there was a fire-breathing Dragon that ate it’s victims whole! Sounds instead like a vacation! =/\=

=/\= No Guy , I made contact with you on my own accord to let you know we are safe ,let them ask all they want too .... just don’t say anything =/\= Sharp responded back.

Sharp sec.

=/\= Okay. You told me nothing too! Keep safe! =/\=
