Mission: [USS Shanghai] S1E2: Encounter in the Abyss
Timeline: 05/13/2394 @ 1800

The turbolift doors swished closed and the XO sent the car on its way to their destination. "Transporter room two." he said as soon the Doctor ond Security chief were settled. This would be the first Away mission Bervag "led". Outwardly he gave the impression of confidence. Inwardly he was more than a little nervous, given that not too long ago he was just a humble trill pilot in Starfleet. He put that on the back burner however, opting to get his head in the game.

As the turbolift doors opened, they walked out and around the corner in to the transporter room. T'San walked to the supply rack and took a phaser and a medical tricorder and attached them to her uniform before stepping on the platform with the others.

Xalanth followed his hands taking a TR-116 rifle with several rounds of ammunition which he clipped to his belt. He attached the eye pieces before he took his place on the transporter padd.

Bers drew himself a standard type 2 phaser plus a Tricorder which he clipped to his waist as he stepped onto the pad himself. After double checking with the chief he gave the nod to begin the beam out.

Xalanth had never liked the transporter. He closed his eyes as the familiar feeling coursed through him before just as quickly as it happened it ended. His eyes opened as he immediately began scanning the area. His rifle was slung in a defensive posture in case any of the attackers had stayed behind.

T'San straightned her uniform and pulled up the medical kit she brought with her. She then took out her medical tricorder as she started to scan the area. "Commander, I am detecting lifesigns but they seem to be scattered around the city. They are Bajoran, so I don't think the enemy left anyone behind to be taken prisoner."

"Makes sense." Bervag said, nodding. He whipped out his own tricorder and began to scan himself. "Noted." He kept his phaser within reach, just to be on the safe side. He smiled when he saw Xalanth with his own weapon raised. "Must have had a reason." he observed. "Let's see what we can't find."

Xalanth didn't respond as he adjusted his eyepiece. He scanned the abandoned city looking for anyone or anything they could have missed. Nothing appeared his vision until they came upon a square. Through the wall's he could see a few were armed with a mix of phaser and improvised weapons. " Sirs mall group of bajorans up ahead. I think we should announce we're here they look rather jumpy." He sated calmly.

"Good idea," said T'San. "I can only imagine what these people went trough."

Bervag nodded. "Greetings." he said. "Lower your weapons. I am Commander Bers of the starship Juno. This is Dr T'San and Lientenant Xalanth. We mean you no harm." he announced to the group of Bajorans, wh did look rather exciteable at that.

The Bajoran perked up. "S..starfleet?" he stammered. He motioned for his group to lower their weapons, which they complied. Much to Bevags relief. An older man, late 40's by the looks of him stepped forward. "Starfleet?" he said once more.

"Yes sir. Lieutenant Commander Bers, first officer of the USS Juno."

"Reon Latara" the man introduced himself. "Secondary administrator. I'm the leader of this band."

"A pleasure, mr Reon." Bervag said, hoping he got the Bajoran name right.

"And the same to you, Commander. You are a sight for sore eyes."

Bers nodded. He looked over to see that some of them weren't in the best of shape. "Sir, I noticed that you have some injured amongst your party. Perhaps our Doctor could be of service."

"I'd be grateful" The administrator said

T'San walked over to the group with her medical kit. She started to scan the administrator first before walking over to the others. "Commander, you can talk to the administrator, his injuries aren't that severe, I can get to him later. I will take a look to the others." She scanned a Bajoran female. She opened her kit and began to repair the injuries on her. She then walked over to someone else.

While that was happening Bers and the administrator talked for a good bit. Then he said something that piqued his interest. "Thank you." he said. He walked over th where Xalanth was standing. "Xalanth. The Administrator tells me that the perpetrators of this left some stuff in a cave not far from here. Might provide us a lead. Up for a look?"

" Lead the way sir." Xalanth replied unslinging his rifle.

Bervag nodded, drawing his phaser. He wanted to be eady just in case anything off happened after all. Following the directions he was given the pair came across a rather spooky looking cave. Undeterred he began inching forward. Then he stopped behind some rocks for a minute."What do you think, Xalanth? Maybe they left some booby traps?" Bervag said. He had no reason to mistrust his info. But you never know.

" Maybe, but if they were leaving booby traps why would they leave them here and not in the colony?" The dragonian said as he poked his head out and adjusted his eyes piece. The cave light up along with the alien tech that sat within. " Could be a monitoring device. I say we get some of the tech boys down here along with security bomb squad. " The lizard stated calmly.

Bervag nodded. "Good point." Bervag whipped out his tricorder and took a quick scan. "Not showing anything that I can see, but I'm not security. Second opinion?" he asked Xalanth, handing over the tricorder.

" Not detected any explosives. They could be hiding them though. Stay here." Xalanth said as he stood up and moved slightly closer. Pausing at a good distance he picked up a stone and threw it towards the tech. It flew by before hitting the back of the cave. Standing up he walked closer to it before with one last look back he walked towards it. " Doesn't appear to have any sensors." He called back as he approached the device a large cylindrical tube.

Bervag came up and immediately sighted the tube. Well the Captain wanted intel He nodded to Xalanth. "Seems we've hit the jackpot." the Trill said

" May be an equipment storage box they left behined. Could give us a clue as to who they are." The lizard replied.

He tapped his combadge and called the ship. "Bers to Juno. Large metallc object my location. Can you get a lock?"

"Yes, Commander." the transporter chief replied.

"Beam it up please." he said. The object dematerialized, on its way to the ship.

" Put it under heavy shielding. I'll be along to check on it shortly." Xalanth added.

"Wise precaution." Bervag agreed. After this the pair made their way down back to the valley where the Administrator was.

'Did you find what you needed, Commander?

"We did indeed. Thank you for your intel, Administrator. Is there anyway that we can help you?

"Just make those responsible face Justice." he replied

Bervag nodded. "Doctor. All set to go?"

T'San put her medkit over her shoulder. "Yes, commander."

Bervag nodded yet again. He tapped his commbadge "Bers to Juno. Three to beam up."
