"Finally, some '''useful''' information," said the CEO as he stared at the | |||
main engineering computer display. With Meleah off playing diplomat, | |||
Tarrant had been unable to get any further on the SERAPIS' | |||
destruction. Then a second idea almost smashed him in the face | |||
when they reached the Issahi system. | |||
Koreth brought the DELPHI system up to full capacity and | |||
began scanning each astral object in the vicinity for the rare | |||
element ytterbium. The results from the scans of the Issahi homeworld | |||
were just coming in. | |||
Ens. Dunnon sounded off the more interesting findings as they | |||
came in. "Estimated Population, 1.5 billion; Atmosphere, class M; | |||
Ten separate energy sources... sir, the levels are off the chart - | |||
my guess is they're on a magnitude of 10000 times greater than a | |||
warp reactor each!" | |||
"Looks like the 'plants' supply power to the entire planet. I'm not | |||
sure what type of energy source there using, can't get through | |||
the Dilithium shielding..., " said Koreth as he adjusted the sensors, | |||
"... but, they don't seem to produce any adverse affects to the planet | |||
or atmosphere. With the exception of the power output, there are no other | |||
emissions." | |||
<Scan complete. Percentage of Ytterbium detected in atmosphere 0.000% | |||
Percentage of Ytterbium detected on planet 0.000%. Percentage of | |||
Ytterbium found in initial geological scans 0.000%.> | |||
The Engineering crew breathed a collective sigh of relief. It seemed quite | |||
probable that the Issahi, and their weapons, did not use Ytterbium. Granted, | |||
they could have mined it from some other location, but Tarrant didn't think so. | |||
"Which means that our enemy is still unknown." Tarrant ran the holo of the | |||
SERAPIS' destruction again. The staff had seen it a number of times, but | |||
they all watched it again anyway. The relief was short lived. | |||
Suddenly the Issahi delegation, led by Cmdr. Maril, came into engineering. | |||
The toughened grey-green skin and yellow eyes of the Issahi were a | |||
sharp contrast to the humans in the room. | |||
"... this is our Main Engineering." announced Maril standing to the | |||
side so the guests could see. | |||
Meleah translated the presentation. But even as she did, the group | |||
seemed mesmerized by something in the room, and two from | |||
the back stepped forward. They had different markings on their | |||
skin that looked to be permanent, but un-natural. | |||
Tarrant turned to see what was the cause of the stares, and realized it was | |||
the holo of the Serapis. It had run through and paused just before the | |||
explosion, the ship falling apart without its SIF. | |||
In a slightly gutteral voice one of them spoke, luckily the translator | |||
had already decoded thier language into a useable form. | |||
"This is what happened to your brothern vessel?" | |||
Koreth rose and nimbly cleared his screen of the scans. | |||
"Yes. The SERAPIS." | |||
The two Issahi looked at each other. One seemed ready to | |||
say something when the larger gave a quite Klingon-like growl. | |||
'They knew something' thought Tarrant. | |||
Maril and Meleah stepped in, "This is Lieutenant Koreth, our | |||
chief engineering officer. | |||
<NRPG> | |||
Feel free to add... I think I've given enough to play with | |||
for now <G> | |||
