Lt. Katie Burner: More checking... (TAG: Sterek/Cartwright)

[Leo H]

(( Promenade; Outpost Eden))

: As the smoke and debris cleared from the second explosion, Katie
turned to the others.:

Burner: Ensign Sterek, do you have a way of checking for Mr Scott’s
lifesigns? It seems my tricorder wasn’t able to detect him, or the lack
of him, until right on top of him.

Sterek:?

Burner: Good point. Let me know how you get on. We need to act fast or
next time we might not be so lucky.

Sterek:?

: Katie then moved over to Ensign Cartwright.:

Burner: Ensign Cartwright, can you develop a damper field to block any
explosives while in situ? We have some readings from that last bomb. Can
you extrapolate that data to locate the other bombs?

Cartwright: ?

Burner: Very well, let me know what equipment you need.

Cartwright: ?

: As they moved out, Ensign KeH’Gan called out to Katie.:

KeH'Gan: Lieutenant can we get some field rations to us along with
water. I am sure we all could use a quick meal before continuing our
work.

Burner: Pardon?

KeH’Gan: Can we take food in these suits?

Burner: I wouldn’t advise it. If we take our helmets off we would be
exposed to the pathogen.

Virax: My Friend KeH'Gan, I too would like a burger and an ale about
now, but like you I will settle for field rations and water. : He smiled
and shook KeH’Gan’s hand: You saved my life Ensign, I am very grateful
for that. I feel that you and your Starfleet comrades will let me return
to my wife Calla and our 3 children.

:KeH'Gan shook the Romulans hand and then smiled at him.

KeH'Gan:Yes Mr Virax it is our goal to successfully resolve this crisis
so we may all return to our loved ones. If you would have told me that 2
months out of the Academy I would be in a major crisis such as this I
would have called you a liar. I am still somewhat amazed that a 23 year
old Ensign would be assigned to such an important post his first tour in
Starfleet. I am so proud and honored to be here serving with these Loyal
Honorable comrades.

: Katie carried on checking her tricorder as the Romulan and the Klingon
chatted to each other.:

Virax: Yes Ensign I too have been impressed with your actions and
dedication to duty here. I wish I had more like you on my police force.
You are more exprienced than your age reflects. I know of Officers 30yrs
or older who can't accomplish what you have done in one day.

:KeH'Gan again nodded his head :

KeH’Gan: Thank You SubLt. Virax. Now If we could only GET OUT of these
biosuits we could get on with this!

: Katie rolled her eyes and turned to KeH’Gan.:

Burner: Ensign, keep that biosuit on, that’s an order. We cannot take
any risks. Follow me!

KeH'Gan: Aye Sir Understood!

: Katie lead the way with Sterek, Cartwright, KeH’Gan and Virax in tow.
The Lieutenant looked over shoulder and checked on progress.:

Burner: Ensign Cartwright, how’s the bomb detection going?

Cartwright: ?

Burner: Thanks. Ensign Sterek, any luck with location Ensign Scott?

Sterek: ?

: Katie nodded.:

Burner: I see. Ensign KeH’Gan, have you detected any further hijackers?
I hope those two were all we have to face…

KeH'Gan :No Sir No other readings that point to other terrorists.

To Be Continued…
