(( Data Core?, Surface, Marohu III )) 


Arlill: What does your name stand for.

Kaelith: In the Before’s language it’s hard for your tongues to replicate or brains to abosrb, but it roughly translates to “Knowledge is Everlasting, Knowledge isn’t Good nor Bad, Knowledge must Grow.” ::beat:: It loses some of it’s esteem in translation.

Enak: Better than I’ve heard in other places.

JoNz continued to fuss with the data packet and it was then that an obnoxious advertisement for a Zet influencer hawking chitin cream messed with the transmission.

Riley / Forsyth: Response

JoNz: Uh ::to all:: Excuse me, but we may have a communications problem with the ship…

Arlill: Report ensign?

JoNz: Sir, I attempted to send a data packet per SOP; the transmission bounced back to my tricorder.

Arlill: Can we confirm the source of that transmission?

JoNz: Confirmed source is the Butler and its not our equipment that has the issue.

Looks to the others with a slight look of concern. 

Arlill: The O-E-B?! That can’t be good! ::turning to Kaelith:: Do you have enough energy to reach out to the ship?

Kaelith: I’m afraid my systems have stabilized but my external transceiver, as you might perceive it, isn’t full powered.

Arlill: Ok, that’s fine, thank you, ::turning to the others:: we need to get to a beam out location. There’s plenty more to learn here, but our ship might be in trouble.

Enak: Well, in that case, it was nice meeting all of you.

Riley / Forsyth: Response

JoNz gathered up the duffel bag assigned to the Away Team that was used for various equipment or samples as needed; it was her job as junior officer to lug it around. 

Enak: I’m still digging here. If y’all are moving on, I’m staying here.

Riley / Forsyth / Arlill / Kaelith: Response

The Cait made one final check to the micro fusion-reactor.

Enak: I will ask that you leave the generator here so I can talk to Kaelith some more. Assuming he’s willing to talk to me.

Riley / Forsyth / Arlill / Kaelith: Response

JoNz: I'll defer to the seniors but I see no issues with leaving the fusion-reactor. 

Enak: Thank you.

Riley / Forsyth / Arlill / Kaelith: Response

Kansz moved with the others as they sought a proper beam out point. 

Riley / Forsyth / Arlill / Kaelith: Response

JoNz: I hope nothing serious happened. ::walking briskly:: 

Riley / Forsyth / Arlill / Kaelith: Response

The Ensign, once they had reached a point that was suitable for a transport, tapped at her commbadge just to check and was greeted with an ad for Imperial-made Zet chitin cream.

Cocking an eyebrow, she looked at the team.

JoNz: And the Zet are who? 

Riley / Forsyth / Arlill / Kaelith: Response
