==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Some After-Thoughts== | |||
===by David Martens=== | |||
SD: SD: 2260.320 | |||
MD: after mission | |||
Scene: USS HOOD, Science lab : | |||
A whole stack of PADD's was carefully stalled out on ARr'Rhiana's desk. There | |||
where the usual and expected reports on the last mission. The away-team had | |||
brought in some computers and PADD's they retrieved from the archeological camp. | |||
Hemux had insisted for that: she didn't want to see everything being lost by the | |||
nuclear blast and EMP-pulse. After all, this was an encounter with an unknown | |||
civilization, new species, a whole new technology and a new planet. But for | |||
now those PADD's had to wait until later. | |||
She was making a final report for the debriefing and she was not feeling very | |||
pleased with the outcome of their actions. Ofcourse, those entities had to be | |||
contained in some way, but nuking a planet? Even with the preliminary cleaning | |||
of the atmosphere and other precautions there was no way to tell what they had | |||
done to the planets ecosystem and environment. | |||
One other report was classified for the Captain and for Security. Hemux had | |||
noticed that there had been breaches in security. First there had been the logs | |||
in the datafiles from the away-team and the shuttlecraft that showed that | |||
someone had entered them before she had. Since that should have been virtually | |||
impossible as these datafiles where secured and encrypted it was very likely | |||
that someone of the people who had brought her the data where involved. | |||
Second there timestamps showed that the computer core was breached to enter | |||
secured data. It had been done by someone who knew what he was doing, but | |||
since she always had the science computers linked to the central data core for | |||
immediate back-ups she had noticed there where moments when she could not enter | |||
her own reports while no one else was logged on to have access to them. So with | |||
a little tracing virus scan she was able to track the `readers' back to a | |||
datastorage room. And guess what: that was exactly the same dataroom where the | |||
data from the away team and shuttlecraft had been stored for her investigations | |||
… | |||
She was pretty sure the captain and Lt Desimms would be very much interested to | |||
hear about that. | |||
She sighed and tossed a final PADD away. There was still a lot of mystery left: | |||
what civilization had build the pyramid? Had it origined from the planet or was | |||
the pyramid planted there by someone from another system? How old was the whole | |||
thing? What technology had they used? How could those beings survive? And how | |||
where those beings able to take over their hosts and let them do al things that | |||
had happened? | |||
ARr'Rhiana' pressed her fingers to the temple of her head, she had a headache | |||
from here to eternity. There had to be something she could do to relax… with a | |||
big, big smile she opened up a small hidden drawing her locker and pulled out a | |||
small box of dried Denobulan sun-and-cloud mushrooms. Then she pulled out a | |||
small pipe, carved with detailed figures of plants and animals and a wide head. | |||
With eyes that twinkled in excitement she started to stuff the pipe. | |||
For a few minutes she just enjoyed the ritual of cutting the mushrooms, filling | |||
the pipe, smelling the sweet and rich odors of the mushrooms. She took the | |||
pipe in her mouth and took a deep breath to test how it would smoke, a small | |||
adjustment of pressure and she was ready. She light the pipe and took her first | |||
breath… her eyes grew wider and the smoke entered deep in her lungs, the first | |||
image of the sun and clouds where coming upon her! | |||

Hi All, | |||
Ok something to add to the story, since you guys all ignore the females in your | |||
staff, I am making up my own fun… at least, I think so… just check my next | |||
post in a while… | |||
(for those who not know: Denobulans think using hallucinogens is not bad when | |||
used for relaxation.) | |||
Respectfully, | |||
