(Zertos 3 -  Tellarite Mining Complex - SecO - CPO Steven Hammons - 0839)

Steven was carrying the case from the lab which due to the strength assist
of the armor reminded him of a feather. ~Yeah, try dropping it on someone's
head though and see the difference. The case wouldn't be ticklish at all.~
Stepping into the med center he noticed that a kerfuffle was winding down
and one of their number was being dragged away.

Dogan came from behind a corner and they nearly ran one another down. Who
would have been more affected? That call was a toss-up.

“Time to bug out, Chief. Do you have everything you need?”

Steven raised the case as he stepped aside. "It's all in here. Last one out
is a big pile of rocks."

Nevertheless he fell into step behind the Brikarian with a chuckle. The
marines had also hustled in and were standing by.

"Hello boys, quiet day isn’t it?"

(Temerity, any)

Dogan gave the order to move out but they were hardly on their way before a
humungous, pig snouted, wolfish thing poked it's head through a nearby
doorway.

"Hello, what's this? I didn’t order some cheesy, B-rated sci fi flick for
the afternoon entertainment." Hammons quipped.

“What was that?"

"That was my line, get your own."

“Everyone out, now,” Why Dogan tried to interpose himself between the
creature and the rest Steven had no idea, they were well armored while
he.... all right, yeah he had his own natural armor but still...

Steven adjusted the wrist phaser to its highest stun setting, if the
critter shrugged that off he had plenty worse to throw at it. "Lieutenant I
suggest you back slowly away with us rather than trying to play the hero."
He noted as he stepped beside him and glared at the creature with his arm
extended.

Being linked with Alaya he had acquired a sensitivity to psychic and
telepathic phenomena and he was definitely getting those vibes here.
Something about this thing was aware on a level that was outside normal
experience. "Paranormal anyone?"

He held up his left hand with the case in an 'All stop' motion to the
marines. "Hold your fire gents. This thing is aware and if I were a betting
man I'd say it can probably read our intent. Everyone relax and we may get
out of this without a ruckus."

(Reply: Temerity, Dogan)

Steven lowered his right arm. "We come in peace." ~Take us to your wolf-pig
leader.~

(Reply: Any)
