After the meeting had concluded, Marinna and Commander Fleet headed towards the water pumps. They headed towards the south side of the colony.

“Interesting meeting huh, they seemed to have established a sort of feudal system of government.” She remarked as they walked.

The new Medical Chief ran to catch up with them. “Hi.” He had his tricorder began to scan the Lieutenant. “Just checking for any viruses that the local populace may be immune to.” After he had done his scans he put out his hand and said, “My name is Usus.” He was obviously tired and was suffering from sleep deprivation.

A mid-20s aged woman seemed to be in charge of the group of 8 by the pump as they came up. “..Only disease we got running right now is a local strain of a flu variant among the children in the main colony at the local clinic. If you want to help them get better I would go there..” she said.

A nearby man muttered as he was tightening a spanner bolt to a machine, “..Brain dead fleeters, wanna help treat the sick you come to a pump instead of the actual sick..” he muttered just within hearing range. Thankfully the rest of the folks present gave him an annoyed look but said nothing else returning to some kind of work on the large water pump. That said scans that Usus took showed that there were some viral elements slipping through the half-broken pump, likely their source was coming up stream somewhere into some nearby woods and hills. Security could probably track the source if they wanted, it might be worth while depending. Any deeper scans would need to be studied with the colony’s or more likely Unity’s medical equipment.

”..To be honest we could use some engineering expertise here, or parts for this pump and some others along the line, not to mention help fending off the local wild life, our sonic repulsors mostly got scrapped or damaged over the years for other uses..” the mid-20s woman said.
