Task Force: Gamma

A scuffling can be heard from a nearby cave, then a small figure can be seen hobbling from the mouth of it. It was using a makeshift crutch. As it approached one could see it was likely male, hairless, with a pair of cranial ridges bisecting on it's head. As it approached it spoke in a quavering voice, lending to the belief it was male. "You are either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid to attack two Tal'Harton by yourself." He hobbled over and helped Vanquax into a sitting position. "I am assuming that any enemy of the Tal'Harton is a friend of mine."

Talbert came up at a run, his fit form easily carrying his weight over the uneven landscape and there was a curse on his breath. "What the hell are you doing Van......" the words stopped as he came upon the scene of a wounded security officer and a short, hairless alien helping her onto the ground.

He looked back at Chief Roe. "Chief, get Johson to beam here with 921 on the double!" he called. He turned back as Vanquax was answering the little man, and glared at her, his desire to help mixed with rage at her reckless attitude.

"Lieutenant, we are going to have a long talk about TEAM security procedures when we get back to the Guardian. In the meantime try to relax, the EMH will be here shortly." He shifted his attention to the alien being and dipped his head in greeting.

"My name is Commander Roger Talbert of the Federation Starship Guardian. This is one or our security officers, Lt. Vanquax. I assume you are the one who sent the distress call?"

giving a look of confusion to the small alien creature that came towards her, she welcomed the friendly assistance as her body began to heal itself, but knew the wound in her side was bad enough that it wouldn't heal entirely on it's own.

Sitting down she looked up as she heard the shout of Talbert rolling her eyes she looked up at him as he neared.

"Lieutenant, we are going to have a long talk about TEAM security procedures when we get back to the Guardian. In the meantime try to relax, the EMH will be here shortly."

"I wasn't planning on running a marathon anytime soon sir, I'm sure I'll live till help arrives." she said and regretted it the instant she got a glare from him. "Sorry Sir." she said and looked down at her hand on her side, both of which were not a pretty sight to see.

A light flash indicated the arrival of Johnson and the EMH. He stepped up with a look of concern for his superior officer, and laid the platform on the ground. He then took up a defensive position a few feet away, watching things unfold.

After a customary 6 second delay, 921 appeared. He bent down to the generator platform and activated a panel, removing a small medical kit and moving over to the injured security officer.

"You should be more careful when playing with energy weapons." he said while administering a hypo spray. "However, you seem to be healing nicely, and some dermoplast will suffice." In short order he had Vanquax back in order, and he turned his attention to the smaller alien.

"My designation is System 921. I am an emergency medical hologram and I am here to help." He moved over and waved his hand over the small being. The tricorder built into the platform transferred the information to 921 and he spoke.

"I am detecting a small fracture of the tibia. Nothing serious, though painful. However, I am not sure our pain medications will be exactly effective." Turning to talbert he said "I recommend we arrange to transport him to the runabout where I can perform a more comprehensive scan."

Talbert nodded and looked at the alien. "If you don't mind, I think we should get moving before the Tal'harton return. We can talk when we are safe aboard our ship. Agreed?"

"My name is Commander Roger Talbert of the Federation Starship Guardian. This is one or our security officers, Lt. Vanquax. I assume you are the one who sent the distress call?"

The alien gets a little flustered for a moment, "Well I uh, that is to say, yes I a.. sent the distress signal. As you can see, I had a small amount of trouble with my ship." He turns reticent as the security officer appears with a metallic cylinder in his arms. As the EMH is activated he speaks softly, "Remote holographic generator, fascinating..."

"My designation is System 921. I am an emergency medical hologram and I am here to help." He moved over and waved his hand over the small being. The tricorder built into the platform transferred the information to 921 and he spoke.

He looks at his ship for a moment, "I guess I don't have much choice," He hobbles over to a nearby rock, digs for a moment, then unearths a bag, which he swings over his shoulder. "I am ready, Commander Tahlbert," He overemphasizes the first syllable of Talbert's name.

The small group transports back to the Tigris, which promptly lifts off.

Talbert moves back to the small med-lab area, which was slightly crowded at the moment. He glanced at Lt. V, as he called her.

"Lt., why don't you join Lt. Harper at the controls? Chief Roe, take the sensor banks and make sure we've got no surprises waiting for us. Ensign Johnson; well, just hang out." He then moved over to the EMH who was busy scanning and then treating their guest.

"Now, then, why don't we start at the beginning. Who are you, and how did you come to be here, and hiding from the Tal'harton?"

with a soft sigh she nodded "Aye Sir" she said.

though controls are my weak point... wonder if I should tell him about that time that I... naw. she thought to herself as she made her way to the panel.

The being looked at Talbert for a moment, a sharp intake of breath the only sign of what the Doctor was doing. "My name is Dorin, I was born on the planet Aryel, although my people originate from a planet called Myos, many lightyears from here. That ship has been my home for many years, as I have been about my work." He pauses for a moment, a wistful look in his eyes, " I am a scientist, an anthropologist, I have been looking for evidence of an ancient race that is said once inhabited this region." He glances at the doctor, a wry grin spreading across his face, "My people, at least those in scholarly circles, believe I am something of a joke. They think I am chasing nighttime tales. But I have my belief to sustain me, and someday I will have proof." He pauses for a moment, then laughs "But silly me, I haven't answered your last question! Those Tal'Harton tried to take me and my ship for 'reeducation' but I gave them the slip in this planets electromagnetic field, at least until my plasma injectors gave out. " He shakes his head, "Should have listened to that Engineer on Panthanel IVa, he apparently did know what he was talking about." He looks Talbert over for a moment, "My dear boy, what kind of creature are you? Humanoid for sure, but hair? Is it cold on your homeworld?" He tries to stand, but is pushed down by the Doctor, "I should be taking notes, this is almost as good as finding the 'Ancient Ones'" He muttered.

921 smiled at the 'notes' comment. "What you should be doing, sir, is resting and allowing me to finish my treatments. There." The EMH stepped back and smiled. "You may stand now. Your bone will take some time to heal naturally, but the pain attenuators should work for about 2 weeks, and you should feel no discomfort." While he busied himself cleaning up, Talbert sat down beside Dorin.

"My species is called Human, and we hail from the planet Earth in the Alpha Quadrant. Earth has several warm zones, but also some cold ones, yes. Our vessel is a runabout; a...shuttle of sorts, and we come from a larger vessel known as the Guardian. That ship is part of a star fleet representing the United Federation of Planets. We are here to explore and expand our knowledge of the universe." He leaned over to the replicator and called for cold water. "Here," he said, handing the water to Dorin with a smile. "This might help." As Dorin took his water, Talbert excused himself and moved to the front. He motioned to the doctor to take over.

"Lt. Harper, see if you can raise the Guardian on subspace, tell them what we have, and find out their status. Lt. V., check on our friend and let the doctor check your wounds. And lieutenant, what you did back there was reckless. You endangered yourself and your team. Don't let it happen again, you might not be so lucky next time." He took his seat beside the pilot and waited for the transmission details.

Trying to keep a calm face failed her. Anger filled her expression as she stood.

"I- I just..." she said and bit hard enough on her tongue that she could taste blood. "Yes Sir" she said through clenched teeth and turned.

"luck rarely has to do with anything..." she muttered under her breath as she made her way med station.

USS Tigris

Dorin drank greedily of the water, then sighed. He opened his eyes, a look of disappointment on his face when the Commander moved forward. "So, Doctor, tell me more about the technology that makes you possible."

OOC I'm taking a few liberties since we are technically two days ahead of the Guardian right now, and since I have an idea what's going to happen.

Harper brought up the subspace bands as they cleared the atmosphere. She listened for quite awhile then turned to the Commander. "Sir, the Guardian will be under way in a few hours, seems they had some difficulties. They have given us a rendevous point that will shave about half the time off the return trip, sending the coordinates to Lt. Vanquax's station."

Talbert nodded in acknowledgement. "Very well, Lt. Best speed." He set his console on auto-alert, and moved back to the alien Dorin.

*******Dr. 921******

The doctor smiled at the question posed by his diminutive new-found friend.

"Actually, I'm a doctor not an engineer. It is more likely that Chief Roe here could answer the question more thoroughly. However, I can tell you that as a system, I am unique in the realm of holographic projection. Prior to this, holograms were limited to projection chambers and projection enhancers with extremely limited capabilities. With the built-in computer module, I am fully capable of independent action and development. I can even carry my own projector and defend myself and others when the events call for it."

While the Doctor had been speaking, Dorin had pulled a PADD like device from his bag and had been taking notes. "Fascinating, I will have to ask this Chief Roe." He turns to Talbert as he returns, "Commander, I am glad you have returned, may I ask you some more questions?" Dorin then proceeds to ask question after question about humans, until another race is mentioned, soon he has pages of notes and Talbert is starting to think an excuse to do something else would be welcomed.

sitting at a station near the med unit she couldn't help but chuckle as she listened to the alien ask his '20 questions' "and I thought I was inquisitive" she mumbled under her breath as she pulled up the new rendevous coordinates.

"Sir, rendevous coordinates have been recieved, shall I lay in the course?" she said without turning around and awaited response.

Talbert nodded, gratefully turning his attention to Vanquax as he did so.

"Yes, Lieutenant, relay the information to Lt. Harper." He stood and motioned to Chief Roe. "Chief, see if there is any information you can gather from Dorin on the races and technology adjacent to this sector."

He looked at Dorin, "You'll have to excuse me, Dorin, I must see to the ship." He walked back down to the lab complex in the back of the runabout. He didn't really have anything to do, but the break was very welcomed. He leaned back, struck a switch and let music pass over him. If Dorin kept this up, it would be a long trip.
