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.

Marinna too the Doctors hand. “Nice to meet you Doctor, Lt. Astid, Chief of Security. We have been asked to come out and check the water pumps for damage.” She explained.

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.

Marinna nodded at the women. “Lets check the water supply first, then I can escort you there Doctor. “

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.

Usus heard the man and went to talk back but remembered to be friendly. “Ok it seems the water could use some purification quickly, or we risk a large amount of people sick from it.” He hit his comm badge.

=^=Lieutenant Baco to any security officers and engineers that can spare a minute we need some help at the pumps.=^=

He walked over to the man from before and squatted by him. “If we don’t stop the source we can’t stop the spread. We are here to help, but we can’t if you don’t trust us to do our work.”

Marinna looked at the doctor, smiled at the thought that he had forgotten that the Chief of Security was already there.

“What do your scans show doctor?” She asked, standing nearby as she watched the doctor do some scans.

“To make sure of that I will need to check the scans from the ship. From what I’ve gathered it is dangerous if we don’t do something.” He got up and started to pace. “Ma’am,” He walked up to the unknown woman. “What disease is causing the most trouble right now in the colony?”

Lieutenant Usus Baco CMO

”..The only real disease sometimes cropping up now and then is one of a local flu like strain, right now its mostly hitting a few children in the main colony area. No ones died from it yet though..nor come close..” she mentioned

“Where is the source of the disease?” Marinna asked, “I could scout around and look while you talk?” she suggested to the CMO.
