OOC this will be the post to continue the Main Science Lab story line

USS Guardian Science Lab

Marek entered the science lab a few minutes behind Surok. He looked around the lab, noting several of the science team running tricorders. Surok was standing in front of the object which had opened to Marek's surprise. Marek didn't notice until he started walking toward him that someone else was behind Surok. This mission is getting more interesting all the time

The being sees Marek approach and smiles warmly at him.

"Captain Marek, Greetings."

Marek glanced at Surok, who seemed to be at a loss for words.

"Greetings, we did not realize that this device was inhabited." He paused for a moment. "I am Captain Marek, what might your name be?"

She looks off to the side for a moment, then back to Marek.
"My designation does not translate well to English." A brief pause, "You may call me Lenara." She looks down at her hand, wiggling her fingers. "Most of the crew of this vessel have five digits on their 'hands', how strange." She spoke to herself softly, then looked at the two science officers scanning her, "Greetings."

Marek glanced at Surok, then continued.

"We represent the United Federation of Planets, a collection of worlds united in the goals of peace and exploration. We discovered your colony as we explored this region of space. Do you know what happened to the rest of your people?"

Lenara watched Marek intently, then looked around for a moment. "My people... We call ourselves.. Alterran. Our homeworld is Alterra, approximately 23,000 light-years from here." She pauses for a moment, looking off into space again. "My species was created 10,000 years ago by the biological inhabitants of Alterra. They had tried and failed to save their people from a... virus that had mutated." Another pause. "A scientist, named Toban, created the first of our species using the most advanced technology they had available." She looked back to Marek, "We originally had the appearance of our creators, only later did we develop the ability to create ourselves as other species appear. We flourished and spread from our homeworld. When we found a system that was already inhabited, we made peaceful contact and moved on. 212 years ago we encountered a species similar to us. It was our first experience with a species that had no interest in peace. We had not developed any offensive capabilities, and despite our efforts, could not defend ourselves against them." She looked away again, as if in thought.

Marek thought he knew who she was talking about, but felt the need to clarify. "What species did this to your people?" The answer was no surprise when it finally came.

"You would call them... The Borg."

OOC Lawrence, hope you get feeling better, jump in whenever you feel up to it.

Lenara wandered around the science lab, touching or handling almost everything. Although from the ship's computer she knew what everything was, until she handled it, looked at it, it didn't seem concrete. Her first few steps had been comical, she hadn't fallen over, but she had stumbled her first few steps, her gyroscopic balance systems learning as she moved about the room. She glanced over to where the Captain sat, watching her. She couldn't identify the look on his face, as much as she tried to fit it with all the different expressions of emotion she was learning about. This must be a PADD, interesting

OOC Ok since Surok is not up to posting for awhile (take care of yourself Lawrence) I'm going to change plans a little bit here.

USS Guardian Deck 6
Captain Marek

After the Alterran that called herself Lenara had finished exploring the Main Science Lab, she had asked for a tour of the rest of the ship. Marek had offered to escort her so now, two hours later, they had made it to deck 6.

"This room contains the Main Computer Core." Marek motioned to the wall to his left, "Actually, this is just the direct access maintenance panel, the core actually occupies two more decks below this."

Lenara walked up to the wall, placing a hand against it.

"Interfacing with your computer core was a fascinating experience, the.. you would call them 'Bio Neural Gel Packs'.. are surprisingly effective."
She smiled at Marek. "Captain Marek, do you require sustenance, by my calculations you have been on duty 13 hours 12 minutes and 14 seconds?"

Marek raised his eyebrow, "A rather astute observation, perhaps you would care to accompany me to the Lounge?"

"Yes I would enjoy that."

Marek motioned towards the door, following Lenara as she left, I imagine Captain Brennon would enjoy this anthropological opportunity

Location bridge:
Reporting as Daniels

Information was flooding the bridge, being routed to various stations and departments as the away teams reported in. Science was gathering a huge array of data and two teams reported contact with the same cat-like animal that attacked the previous crew. This time, however, Commander Roekil's security measures proved effective and no one was injured, though one of the animals was destroyed. Daniels had help on his comm board but the flow of information was still immense, and he was sure he'd need a drink when this was over.

**********Talbert on the surface**********

Talbert walked into the ship. The past 2 hours had flown by while his team, working under the astute leadership of Mehvra Kuplo, assembled the necessary data to reactivate the ship. Power was already flowing from the ship's core, and the immediate report was that there was at least enough energy to attempt lift off.

Talbert touched his badge. "Talbert to the Hartington, beam up the away teams, sans ours. We are attempting to bring the alien vessel into a shuttle bay. If we get close enough, you may be able to lock onto us with a tractor beam." He closed the channel and turned to Ensign Kuplo.

"All right Ensign, let's see what we can do to get this thing up."
*******Daniels on the Bridge*******

"Bridge to Captain Marek. I'm sorry to disturb you, sir, but the away teams are returning from the planet and Commander Talbert is attempting to bring the alien ship into orbit. Just thought you should know."

USS Guardian
Captain Marek

Marek tapped his combadge as they entered the lounge,

"Acknowledged, notify me when the ship is recovered, Marek out."

USS Guardian Deck 2
Captain Marek

After eating a much needed dinner, Marek had decided that the Alterran should have quarters assigned to her. So they had headed to deck two, and were now standing at the door of one of the empty visitors rooms. Marek punched a command into the control panel and the doors opened.

"These will be your quarters while you are with us. I hope you find them amenable." Marek motioned for her to enter, then followed. The doors slid closed behind them.

"The door on the left is the washroom, and the door on the right is the bedroom." She was staring at the empty wall next to the replicator.

"According the the ship's computer, the ODN and power conduits run through this wall." She approached it. "With your permission Captain, I will require a.. regeneration..station? Alcove? to be installed here. I will not require it for several weeks under normal operating parameters, but it will be necessary to maintain peak functioning."

Marek nodded. "Of course, once Ensign Kuplo returns to the ship, I will have him assist you." Marek walked over to the replicator. "You may replicate yourself more clothing here, as you are not likely to need food." He paused, "I would like you to wear this while you are with us." He held out a combadge, she took it quickly, placing it on her chest.

"A communication and monitoring device." She stated simply, "Thank you Captain." She looked at the replicator, "Captain, in the interest of making the crew more comfortable, I wish to wear a Starfleet uniform. According to the data I collected from the ships computer, it would be appropriate for me to wear a diplomatic branch uniform, without rank insignia."

Marek raised an eyebrow, "An unorthodox request, but you are correct, that would be the most appropriate." Marek thought for a moment, "Permission granted, you should be aware however, the you will be expected to follow direct orders from senior officers." Marek looked at the Alterran What a peculiar request, I will have to confer with Mr. Roekil
