==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: wild guesses.== | |||

SD: 2260.285 | |||
MD: 5.1515 | |||
Scene: USS HOOD, Ready Room | |||
Hemux was in the science lab. She was constantly | |||
updating the data the away - team was sending in as a new report popped up on | |||
her console. It as a transcription of the security team on the surface. | |||
<Snip from Bryan> | |||
"Corbett?" Merrick demanded. | |||
"Your guess is as good as my gosh, Sean. This isn't anything I've heard of." | |||
He handled a chunk of someone's dead face. A single frozen eye, full of | |||
desperate fear, gazed up at them. | |||
"The poor bastard knew something bad was happening," Corbett commented. | |||
<End of Snip> | |||
Hemux added the `frozen eyeball' to the other pieces of the puzzle. Some idea | |||
was starting to build in her head. The small fractures on the base of the | |||
skull, the frozen eyeball, the idea that energy was drained of the body… | |||
It sounded impossible but it had to be. | |||
She walked out to the Comm and asked for a connection to the away – team. | |||
"Hemux to Corbett" | |||
[Corbett here, what you have for us, Hemux?] | |||
"It's just a wild guessk, but my idea is your dealing with a creature that | |||
feeds on brain energy and bodyheat. That would explain why it would go for the | |||
mouth to attack. Near to the brain, some major arteries there to drain the body | |||
heat. That would also explain the frozen body parts, draining a body quickly of | |||
energy and heat can make it freeze all up. And if you drained brain energy and | |||
bodyheat it also will make the body age more rapidly. Drain the victim till it | |||
is unconscious or even in coma, leave it alone for a few hours so it can build | |||
up his bodyheat and restore some of his energy. In that way you would have a | |||
easy source of food." | |||
[Any suggestions on our approach?] | |||
Hemux thought about that for a few moments "Suggestions only. Since we have no | |||
real cues about what our opponent can or can't do it's a l a wild guess. I | |||
would say put on thermo-suits to keep your bodyheat undetected, also put up a | |||
metal helmet or metal foil or so around yor head. This might block | |||
energy-signals from your brains to be picked up. But again, I have no idea if | |||
it will be suficient." | |||
She checked her data again and added "Oh and look for something small and | |||
flexible. If that hostile being is able to enter it's victims through the mouth | |||
then it can't be very big or fat. Imagine a worm or snail like being I guess. | |||
But again that's only a guess, it might be as well a fluid huge mass that is | |||
able to slide through the most narrow holes or a energy being or just anything | |||
you can imagine. Hemux out." | |||
ARr'Rhiana leant back in her chair as she pushed a PADD over her desk with a | |||
fingertip. Something was missing, but she could not say what, she just hoped | |||
Corbett and the rest would be safe. | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Hi All, | |||
I know I am slow in posting, but real life keeps be more intense and busy then | |||
I ever thought. Anyway, maybe this is something to work with. | |||
Respectfully, | |||
