Last time on the Scimitar: Multiple science and trade vessels have gone missing in and in nearby star systems to the Rigel system, and the USS Scimitar has been removed from their Romulan relief mission to resolve the mystery. Having arrived in system, the Scimitar is told of a recent destruction of a engineering vessel sent to Rigel V's moon to repair a power fluctuation, but no records of its destruction were recorded. Shortly thereafter, a vessel of an unknown type was detected by a probe sent to scan Rigel VII. The Scimitar sped over, but has not found any signs of a vessel in the area..

	Resume mission: "Safari" - Part IV	
SO Ens Griffiths:
::begins running a sensor calibration subroutine, going through the data from the probe as well as the current data coming from the long range scans on Rigel VII::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::stands up from his chair on the bridge::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::tries to get a sense of the Kaylar aerospace infrastructure::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Is standing at the Tac station on the bridge::
 
CO Capt Rome:
SO: Mr. Griffiths, can you see anything that could explain this 'phantom' Mr. Sumner reported in orbit?
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::frowns slightly at the incoming readings, focusing the sensors on the area of the strange readings:: CO: I'm picking up something on the planet, Captain. It appears to be a hull fragment, composed of materials not found natively on Rigel VII.
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::will never get used to being called Mister.::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::nods:: SO: Thank you Ensign.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Looks through the sensor readings of the phantom, seeing if she can find anything recognizable::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
SO: Is it recent? Maybe the ship crashed.
 
CO Capt Rome:
XO: Seems Saprin was right, there's something down there. Gather your team, Commander.
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::picks up the readings from the orbital scans:: CO: The orbital signature has disappeared, almost immediately after coming up on sensors.
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::narrows his sensor sweep to the area of the hull fragments, looking at the composition of the metal and the surrounding vegetation::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::strokes his stubble, his beard starting to grow back...::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Has a vague memory of something similar, and so continues to look at the sensor results::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::looks up from his console with a nod:: CO: Confirmed, Captain. It's the wreckage of a ship, seems to be pretty recent. The entire area has been decimated.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::stands up:: SO: On screen, magnify.
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::spares a glance at the Captain::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::transfers the image to the viewscreen, magnifying on the corn field where the wreckage has spread out::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Stays quiet at her station, until she has something worth saying::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
CO: Yes Sir. SO/FCO/ACTO: Ensign Griffiths, Lieutenant Feyna, Lieutenant Sumner, with me. ::heads towards the turbolift::
 
ACTION: On the screen, a green and yellow field of something resembling a corn field appears, in the middle a large crater....the area seems burned to a crisp
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Looks over at Rome, and shakes her head:: CO: Captain....
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::sighs softly, giving the console a gentle pat:: Console: I'll be back. ::nods to Vasquez, and moves to follow Thalev to the turbolift::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::nods to the CO, following the group into the turbolift, a tingle of anticipation running up his spine at the chance of joining an away team::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::turns around:: ACTO: That is an order
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::doesn't like the ACTO thinking his orders aren't good enough and need checking all the time but says nothing::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Walks over to the command circle, and talks quietly:: CO: And it goes against my other orders Sir. I only accepted Acting CTO if it didn't conflict with Dexer's orders Sir.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::raises an eyebrow, having some recollection of that name from somewhere...:: ACTO: I need you down there. I'll be safe here.
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::frowns and gives Thalev a look::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Mutters:: CO: If someone tries to kill you while I’m down there Sir, I’ll come back and finish the job before someone else kills me.
 
CO Capt Rome:
ACTO: I don't doubt it. Now go.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Turns from the command circle and heads to the TL to join the away team, feeling uncomfortable::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::nods to Thalev then adjusts his jacket and sits back down:: aFCO: Standard orbit, keep us within range of the Away Team at all times.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::notices Sumners look but does not betray his own thoughts and speaks calmly :: ACTO: Thank you Lieutenant. ::orders the TL to take them where they need to go::
 
<aFCO_Vasquez>
::assumes the helm and nods:: CO: Standard orbit, aye sir.
 
ACTION: The Away team arrive at Transporter room 1
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Gives a tense smile to Idrani:: XO: Sorry about my delay Commander
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::picks up a tricorder and a phaser, slipping them into his belt before slinging a science kit over his shoulder and taking a spot on the transporter pad, hoping to look Starfleet-ish and professional while quivering in his boots::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
ACTO: Let's hope it doesn't happen again. ::gestures for the away team to exit the TL ahead of him::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::frowns as the whole Lt. Feyna situation, and moves towards Ens. Griffiths:: SO: First away mission, Ensign?
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Her smile relaxes a bit at Idrani's response, and follows him towards the transporter room. Self: Well, that would depend on Rome now, wouldn't it::
 
<TC_Gareth>
XO: I have the coordinates from the Bridge, sir. Ready when you are.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::steps onto the transporter pad, carrying a standard issue tricorder and phaser::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::looks over at the FCO and nods slightly:: FCO: My usual station is in the research labs. This is...a little outside my comfort zone. But I’m ready, Sir. ::nods again, looking a little more confident. Outwardly, at least::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::steps up to the transporter padd:: Gareth: Energize please.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Steps onto the tranporter padd, checking she has a tricorder and sidearm::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::smiles and pats him on the back:: SO: You'll do fine, just keep your eyes open follow orders.
 
ACTION: The away team is transported down to Rigel VII amidst a field of corn, the breeze swaying the large stalks around them. The crash site is twenty meters south
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
:: Takes a deep breath as Rigel VII materializes around her::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::pulls out his tricorder as he rematerializes, scanning the surrounding area and searching from the wreckage:: XO: The crash site is this way, Commander, about twenty meters to the largest concentration of wreckage.
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::glances around, thinking the whole place looks depressingly like Yakima::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Whips out her tricorder as she materializes, keeping her spare arm ready to draw her phaser::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::opens her tricorder as well, silently double checking the SO's readings::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
SO: Lead the way. ACTO: Keep your tricorder searching for lifeforms; I don't really want to bump into any Kaylar.
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::nods to the XO and begins walking through the charred stalks, keeping his footing careful while running scans on the area and the closest bits of debris around::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
XO: Neither do I Commander. I'd rather complete this without conflict ::Looks down at her readings:: But I don't seem to be lucky Sir.
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::sees an opportunity and takes it, moving up next to Lt. Feyna:: aCTO: Lieutenant.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
XO: Kaylar lifesigns, about 150 metres away. Field workers, at my guess
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::sighs, opportunity lost:: aCTO: Are they moving?
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
ACTO: Far enough away from the wreckage, but keep an eye on them.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Looks at the officer beside her, and smiles before looking back at the tricorder::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::arrives at the wreckage::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
FCO: Not outside of their location. I can't see any around this immediate area
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::reads off his scans as he comes up to the crater and the largest pieces of wreckage:: XO: Confirmed, Commander. This is hull plating, thick. ::glances up from his tricorder and scans the actual pieces visually:: I can't tell what these markings are, however...
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::nods some, and takes a look at the wreckage::
 
SCENE: Before them, is a large crater of charred ground and what seems to be the remains of a small vessel....a shuttle or a probe by the amount, or lack of, debris
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::carefully approaches the crater, looking for pieces of debris she can scan:
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
SO/OPS: Estimates on how long it's been here?
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::runs his tricorder along some of the closer wreckage:: XO: Judging by the vegetation growth and bacterial infestation, I’d say 4 days. Maybe 5.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
XO: From a superficial scan, would say 3.47 days.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Maintains a small distance away from the other officers investigating the wreckage, monitoring the lifesigns around the area::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::glances at Griffith's tricorder:: SO: Carry the 1...
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::looks at the readings she got from a piece of hull:: All: The wreckage is compatible with a small vessel that disintegrated on atmospheric entry.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::smiles at the difference in accuracy between the SO and OPS:: SO/OPS: Thank you. Let's find out everything we can. ::moves over to a pile of the debris::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
XO: Commander, we have a Kaylar heading our direction, with what appears to be farming equipment
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
OPS: The question is what kind of vessel? I don't recognize the markings.
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::raises an eyebrow at the FCO, letting a grin tug up the edge of his lips as he performs a few detailed scans of the wreckage, kneeling down in the dirt::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
XO: My suggestion would be to take cover until he passes through the area
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
All: Take cover... wait... ::moves forward as he sees a hand sticking out from under some debris::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
XO: The damage was severe ... ::taps her tricorder trying to get a better estimate of the hull composition::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::frowns slightly, turning to the XO as he takes cover behind some of the wreckage and whispering:: XO: Commander, some of these readings match up with the orbital signature we detected earlier.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::follows Idrani and lays low, but waits::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::realizes it's not a hand, but some gauntlets:: All: Okay, let's get out of site of the approaching Kaylar then see what we can do to get this debris back on board.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Moves to take cover behind some natural vegetation::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::likewise hides, trying to get in a flanking position, in case it matters::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::takes cover in the corn field::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Whispers into her comm badge:: *XO*: He's stopped, about 50 metres out. And there now seems to be more lifesigns converging on his location
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::prepares the data to send to the ship. But waits for this ship to pass::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::feels a shred of fear pumping adrenaline through him, staying crouched as low as he can::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::takes a look at the gauntlet he is holding from his cover position; they are very large, double his own size:: ACTO: I'd rather beam out until it is safe than get detected. If they get within 20 meters, we beam out.

ACTION: The away team can hear what sounds like thunderous yelling
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Looks over at the FCO next to her, calmly, despite the yelling around them::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Still talking quietly despite the noise:: *XO* :Maybe we should beam out now Sir?
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::keeps her eyes in the direction of the yelling, phaser at the ready::
 
ACTION: The group of Kaylar converge and start running in their direction, screaming loudly
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
*Scimitar*: Beam us out, now!
 
CO Capt Rome:
@::opens the comm:: *XO*: Stand by, Thalev! ::looks at OPS::
 
<Vettel>
@::nods and beams the away team back::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
*CO*: Don't give me stand by! Emergency beam out! That means now!
 
<Vettel>
@::shakes his head:: CO: I am sorry sir but ... ::taps his console::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Raises her eyebrows in approval at hearing Idrani, and prepares for transport, but holds onto her phaser in preparation::
 
ACTION: Five Kaylar burst through the corn field, their immense 2.5 meter size and bulk cast a shadow over the away team
 
<Vettel>
@CO: There is some sort of ionization field emanating from the wreckage. They need to back away from it.
 
CO Capt Rome:
@*XO*: We're trying, Commander. You need to move farther away from the wreckage.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::watches the Kaylar approach and prepares::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
:: stands up to face the oncoming Kaylar::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::slips his tricorder into his belt, pulling the phaser out as quietly as he can, hearing the Kaylar as he tries to remain hidden::
 
ACTION: The lead Kaylar, wearing fur and sporting an axe swings at the XO
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Is still in hiding within some vegetation, and attempts to circle around behind the 5 Kaylar::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::jumps up and tries to dropkick the lead Kaylar in the knee::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::hears the sound of an attack, letting the adrenaline surge through him as he leans out from behind his cover, takes aim at the lead Kaylar and fires on heavy stun::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::ducks under the axe and shoots his phaser into his chest, set on stun::
 
ACTION: Sumner manages to kick a female in the knee, who then grabs Sara by the scruff of her neck and throws her against a piece of hull plating
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::looks at the ACTO and follows her lead trying to circle them from the other flank, phaser in hand::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::thunks and groans, sliding down to the ground::
 
ACTION: The Kaylar stumbles as the XO fires, then leaps at the XO, grabbing his jacket and tearing it and the tunic almost all the way off
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::See's how little affect that the normal stun setting has on the Kaylar, and subtly raises the stun level to high on her phaser::
 
<Vettel>: 
@CO: I think I got it! ::tries again to beam the away team::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::For a moment is very glad that Rome didn't come on this away mission::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::stands up and backs off, opening fire again and again on the incoming Kaylar, hoping they don't try and close in to melee::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::comes out from cover and fires at the closest Kaylar, on the highest stun setting::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::frustrated that his scarred chest is exposed, Borg remnant and all, and throws a double axe handle::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Successfully circles behind the team of Kaylar, and calmly attempts to stun one::
 
ACTION: As one male grabs the SO by his feet and pulls him up in the air, the away team is suspended as a transporter beam attempts to lock on
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::tries to reach for the SO, but feels locked in time and space, a sense of immense dread filling her::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Is glad she got off one shot before the transport was initiated::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::feels his stomach lurch as he Kaylar grabs him and picks him up as the transporter beam wrenches his molecules another way::

ACTION: The away team rematerialize in Transporter room one, the SO in midair and falls down on the pad
 
<Vettel>
@CO: Transport successful Captain.
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::sighs in relief as she sees the SO made it with them::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::stands up:: All: Anyone hurt?
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Looks around the tranporter padd, before running to grab the emergency med kit from under the console::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::sighs and leans forward in his seat:: Vettel: Are they alright?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::gets up as she finds herself in the ship::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::gets to her feet:: XO: Does pride count?
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::lands hard and with a sickening crunch, getting the breath knocked out of him as a sharp, white hot pain flashes through his shoulder::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Looks around at the AT, and heads to the SO:: SO: Where does it hurt?
 
<Vettel>
CO: Their readings nearly match the transporter scans from when they beamed in. The only difference seems to be some of Commander Idrani's uniform.
 
CO Capt Rome:
Vettel: That's....a first.
 
<Vettel>
::shrugs::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::clutches his shoulder with his other hand, groaning deeply and shifting onto his other side:: ACTO: God...everywhere...
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
XO: With your permission I would like to go to the bridge and run these readings through the database.
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::looks over to Thalev and flashes a sheepish grin before taking a moment to check out the scars::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
OPS: Of course. Thank you,
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Gets out the medical tricorder, and scans Griffiths:: SO: You seem to have some muscular damage around your neck and shoulder. Hold still.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
ACTO: Please stay with Griffiths until he gets medical treatment. FCO: If you are unhurt, please return to the bridge. I'm going to get a new uniform and I'll be right there.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Performs the appropriate field medical procedures to get him back into action::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::exits the transporter room and enters the nearest turbo lift, ordering it to the bridge::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
XO: Right. ::pats herself down for a moment, making sure nothing's broken before moving off towards the bridge::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
XO: Yes Commander. Can you please thank the Captain for not getting killed for me?
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::grits his teeth, holding as still as possible as the ACTO wrenches his shoulder back into its socket, crying out as the pain hits him and then subsides::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::shudders minutely, letting out a few deep breaths of hair:: ACTO: T-thanks...
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Applies a hypospray to Griffith's neck to reduce the pain, and continues to swipe a regenerator over the neck and shoulder area::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
ACTO: You should show a little more faith in the rest of the crew here; we've been looking after him for years. SO: Glad to see you'll be okay, Ensign. Unfortunately your injury was not severe enough to claim a purple heart. Maybe next time. ::heads out of the transporter room::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::arrives at the bridge:: CO: Captain. ::goes to her console:: Vettel: Good job.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Looks over and watches Idrani leave, and then glances back to Griffiths:: SO: Yep, you should have got your arm ripped off, then it would have been worth it...
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Glad you're all back in one piece, Lieutenant.
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::chuckles at the Commander's remarks, nodding his thanks to the ACTO and slowly rotating his shoulder as the regenerator repairs the sprain:: ACTO: It looks like it. Maybe next time?
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::steps off the turbolift and onto the bridge, rubbing and stretching her shoulder:: CO: They grow them Kaylar pretty big, Captain.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::smiles at Sara's remark:: FCO: So I've heard. Everyone unhurt?
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::pulls out his tricorder and uploads the scans he got before the attack to the main computer, adding them to the accumulated information::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::nods at the CO as Vettel takes science 2:: CO: It was a close fight. Commander Idrani was hit, but it was only superficial. Mr Griffiths injured himself when we beamed over but I believe it is not serious.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Smiles over at the SO:: SO: Only if you pay for the cleaning of all the blood from my uniform Ensign!
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
CO: For the most part; Griffiths tweaked his shoulder pretty hard, but there shouldn't be any permanent damage, I don't think.
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS/FCO: Glad to hear it.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
SO: you want to wait for a med team, or shall we go back to the bridge?
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::walks onto the bridge in his new uniform and down to the command center::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::looks up as Thalev enters::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::stands back up, chuckling at the ACTO's remark:: ACTO: I'm good to go, I’ll report to Sickbay once my scans are completed.
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::indicates for Vasquez to stay at the helm, resting briefly against a bulkhead::
 
CO Capt Rome:
XO: Heard you had a wardrobe malfunction...commander. ::smiles::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: I will run the hull plate readings through the computer. So far all we know is that it is composed of monotanium and that some readings match the ones we got in orbit earlier.
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Nods at Griffiths, and heads to the bridge as well::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::leans forward:: OPS: Monotanium? Not very common in this quadrant.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::uploads the info onto the computer and waits, noticing the computer did not find a match for the weapons signatures from the debris around the moon::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::ignores his jibe and moves past the CO to sit in his chair::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::follows the ACTO to the bridge, one hand on his arm, making sure to rotate it and keep the muscle from seizing up::
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
CO/OPS: Do we want to try and beam up some of the debris before the Kaylar tear it all apart?
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
::Walks onto the bridge, and head's to the Tac station, and murmurs as she passes:: CO: Good to see you're still alive Sir.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: With the Bajoran wormhole and additional contact with the Delta quadrant, we are living in a galactic village.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::just nods::
 
CO Capt Rome:
FCO: If needed, sure.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
FCO: Good idea.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::locks onto some of the debris and beams it to a secure area in the cargo bay, along with the rest::
 
ACTO Lt Feyna:
Self: Monotanium. Where have I read that recently?
 
FCO LtJG Sumner:
::stretches out her back and waves for Vasques to get out of her chair::
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::walks over to his station and brings up the current sensor analysis, plotting his way through it attempting to match the hull fragments with a known species::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
FCO/CO: The ionization field is too strong to beam any of it.

ACTION: The computer finds a match to the weapon signatures recorded from the first hull fragment and the new monotanium signature
 
SO Ens Griffiths:
::frowns slightly as the report comes in:: CO: Captain, I believe I’ve found a match. There's a 78% possibility of the wreckage coming from a Hirogen ship...
