Dr. Solace Trei had come in. The sight was clearly too much for her. She began to babble at him as if she were a child, a behavior the Brikar had no time for, nor compassion for. </span></p>

and began to empty the contents of her stomach on the floor. Dogan sighed, thinking that there was no way he was going to clean that up. Fortunately, P’Rah came to her rescue. He picked her up, got her respirator, and helped her outside.</span></p>

vomit, and watched in time to see Commander Gregory be transported away. He assumed it was to the Pasteur. He had been ordered to be ready to leave in twenty minutes. He knew that was a tight schedule to keep. They had to finish recording the bodies and
tagging them. It was going to take time.</span></p>

He turned around to see P’Rah drag Trei onto the shuttle then headed back into the medical building, noting the rover that Gregory arrived in was still there.</span></p>

of who was remaining. With Hammons coming from the office, there was Temerity, with his marines and himself, as well as Hammons. It would be easier to keep track of the five of them. </span></p>

was kind enough to leave us a form of transport.”</span></p>

growl… coming from another chamber they hadn’t explored. </span></p>

<br class="ContentPasted0">

It filled the doorway, at over six feet tall and weighing what looked like 2000 pounds. It had a wolf-like appearance to it, but with the snout of a pig. The hair seemed more like spikes and had a hue of reddish-orange as if it glowed. It emanated a feeling.
Even Dogan could sense it.</span></p>

between the creature and the others. </span></p>
