Last time on Seleya:

The away team passed through a hole in space near what is now the third planet of the system.  Upon arrival they find a universe where the laws of physics are different from their own.  Equipment doesn't work like it should and colors are off from what is the norm in their universe.

Once they get the shuttle working again at least to some extent they find an old outpost nearby and a team is sent aboard to investigate.  There they find a few more answers on what happened to the people from the 3rd and 4th planets.

From there they followed the trail of the other shuttle to a nearby planet and have landed to investigate. The CSO has remained on the shuttle as the environment on the planet has an adverse effect on her symbiont.

Captain's Log 11402.16: We're on the planet and out to investigate the downed shuttle from our universe. We'll see if the nearby settlement noticed something or not. I vote for not, but we'll see.

<<<<<<<< Regrets IV >>>>>>>>>>

CO Capt Varesh says:
::Frowns down at the tricorder, grumbling under his breath about the physics::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Leading the group toward where the shuttle landed he keeps a close watch on the area around him.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
CTO: Anything?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances around, trying to look for any other abnormalities around them:: All: Gomes would have loved to study this world.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Looks around at the surroundings, still not adjusted to the altered conditions in this universe::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I think I see the shuttle up ahead but no sign of anyone else.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: All: Keep an eye out for any natives investigating our landing here. I think the other shuttle has been here long enough for them to have come and gone.

SCENE:  Ahead the outline of the shuttle becomes more visible.  It took heavy damage in the landing/crash.  Scorch marks around the shuttle indicates where fires had flared up after the crash but there are signs that they were put out by someone.  A short way from the shuttle is a larger mound, about 6 ft. long.

CO Capt Varesh says:
::Resists the impulse to move faster:: CTO: All clear?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  As far as I can tell from here without our equipment working properly.  I'd prefer to check it out first before you head in there captain.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Frowns at the scene, especially the mound:: All: Looks like there were at least some survivors.. They seem to have taken the time to bury the dead... ::Points at the mound::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: CTO: Take a look, we're going to check out that mound.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Turns in that direction:: OPS: It puts you in mind of a burial mound?  ::Walks closer, tricorder extended::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods.:: CO:  Yes captain.  ::Moves forward toward the shuttle his hand near the knife at his back.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: It seems to be about the right proportion... Though the size suggests a fairly short person, at first glance.. We'd have to scan into the ground to know for sure.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
OPS, CO: At least we don't have to dig it out.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Kneels next to the mound, punching buttons on his tricorder to make it behave:: OPS: Well, the state of the shuttle suggests that there could have been fatalities. ::Nods absently at the XO's comment::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Does a quick check around the shuttle before moving inside.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods again:: CO: I concur... Yet there are also clear signs that there were survivors... The burial mound is just one of them... Now the question is, who else has seen this scene, and what repercussions will that have on this world and indeed universe?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Sighs sadly as he picks up the commbadge:: OPS/XO: Well, we know they lost at least one. Tricorder readings, as much as can be determined, shows injuries consistent with a crash. Blunt force trauma.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks up:: OPS: I would think that they've had contact with the people from the nearby settlement. You can't crash this close to someone's back yard and not get their attention.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO, OPS: Maybe that's where we'll find the rest of them then?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Moves through the shuttle kneeling down near the helm feeling the dark stain on the deck plate, then reaches over to try and activate the shuttles control systems.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: Most likely, but I want to see what's in the shuttle. Maybe there is some kind of message.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Not getting an immediate response he stands moving back toward the shuttle doors to report in with the captain.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Looks around the clearing for more clues, taking note of the scorch patters and skid marks on the ground::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Gets up and turns towards the shuttle, waiting for Heller to emerge::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Steps out of the shuttle and spotting the captain nearby walks over to him.::  CO:  The shuttle is empty, though there are dried blood stains near the helm.  I'd guess a couple days old.  Most of the rest of the gear from the shuttle looks to have been removed.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Removed forcefully or taken apart?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods at the question, it’s what he would have asked::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO/XO:  Forcefully, there are signs of some items being pried out or attempted to be pried out.  Mostly they took anything not nailed down, lockers and cabinets are all open everything inside taken.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: So we can safely assume we're working against a group of hostile natives.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Frowns:: CTO: Which items were pried loose? Removing anything outside a drydock is a usually difficult.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
CO: That depends on whether one intends to use it after it was removed... Without significant repairs, that is.
CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: Agreed. ::Looks in  the direction of the settlement.:: ALL Gentlemen, we need a plan. Do we scout? Walk in like we own the place? Stage a rescue?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO/XO:  Just looks like they tried for anything that was easy to get at, there doesn't seem anything specific they were after, more just whatever was easy to scavenge.  And I can't say for sure if they were hostile or not they may have just been taking what they could find to use or if they thought it might be useful.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: The point is, the crew who actually survived didn't seem to offer their help. Which says something for what they had to go through.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods.:: XO:  That is true.  There seems to be a fairly definite trail leading off toward where we detected the village.  They didn't try to hide their movements so it should be easy enough to follow.
CO Capt Varesh says:
CTO: Lead the way, Commander. We'll have to do some scouting before we come up with a plan.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
CO/CTO: We may want to stay off the path a bit, just to be sure we don't run into anyone unexpectedly...
CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: Good thinking, Commander.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods in agreement with Pandora, before turning toward the trail left by the locals. Moving off to the right of the trail a ways.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Follows after Heller, tricorder in hand, silently cursing the physics of the planet and universe::
