<Lt. Cmdr. Vince Beata, Slater Planet>

Seeing everything was happening pretty much like usual, I was a bit relieved. Unfortunetly, though, the crowd was starting to get pretty excited, perhaps paniced. People were assembling around us, frightned, not knowing exactly what was going on. At that particular moment, a phaser beam came and wacked the ground just in front of me and Khan, causing the crowd to run away in all different directions, clearing a bit the area. 

Aproaching me from the originating point of the beam was a ... Starfleet Officer I had never seen before. Who was he? Where was he from? ... Huh?

Straylar turns to greet Beata and Khan.  "Lieutenant Straylar reporting for crowd control, commander."

"Oh yes, Mortimer told me of a new security officer was to join us shortly. Welcome, Mr. Straylar. Let me brief you on the Away Team's mission. We are  to find out the cause of a metabolic disorder that just appeared on this planet, causing massive deaths, and endagering the survival of the specie. A medical team is working on this issue right now. 

Our job is to investigate whether this problem is caused by an external factor or not. Starfleet Intelligence has reported possible Romulan activity in this sector. We hope we won't have to deal with Romulans, but the danger exists."

"Ok officers, lets go and see the leader of this place."

Walking at a good speed in direction of the local gov't hall, we we're quickly greeted by a bear-like creature, that seemed to be assigned to the visitors of the hall.

"Welcome, officers of the Federation. We we're expecting you. Please follow me inside, our leader expects you."
