The wait to hear from the surface of Zertos 3 had been interminable.  He had checked over everyones work four time and they were ready to link the transporters from their end.  Tension through the ship grew when the captain led an away team to the Tellarite ship.  It had been a sore area of contention for him to allow Ssvresh to go on that trip, but he was certain that T. Commander T’Mur had a reason for requesting him.


=^= Bohb, this is Verin.  The Captain has declared a biohazard quarantine and I need the shuttle they are going to be docking to be sterilized asap. I'm sending the android to assist you. =^=


The sound of the commander’s voice shook him from his worries and gave him a whole new set of them.  He tapped his comm badge.


“Biohazard quarantine?” he replied in a rhetorical question.  “Roger that Commander.  I am on my way.”



Bohb looked around the room and his eyes found Angus McGuyver.  “Angus, you’re in charge up here.  Don’t let the ship blow up.”


“Yeh can count on me,” McGuyver replied in his thick Scottish brogue.  “You heard him, boys and girls.  Let’s look busy and keep her together.”


He gave a wicked grin to the Magillan as Bohb left Main Engineering.

Bohb had managed to pull himself into the biohazard suit with only a little difficulty. The replicator always had trouble creating items to fit his unique physique. Knowing that he had spent precious time he found himself running down the corridor to the shuttlebay. He slowed to walk when he saw William.


He smiled at the android. Despite what he had been told the android did he found himself appreciating, even liking him. He was unique and perhaps Bohb felt a form of empathy and connection to that situation. After all, he had not heard of another Magillan leaving their home world. Of course, he had been out of touch for a few years.


William had armed himself with a tricorder and a wide dispersal particle beam emitter that he was carrying with one arm. Bohb had to be impressed a bit. Bohb was stronger than most humans but he was not that strong.


"Lieutenant Bohb,” William greeted him, “the shuttle has not yet arrived. In the interest of time and due to the Commanders order I thought it expedient to have the equipment available and on site when it landed."


A voice came over the hanger intercom. =^=Leif Erikson approaching, ETA two minutes.=^=


Bohb nodded, “Very expedient…Ensign William. Is that thing ready?” He pointed to the emitter.


"The unit is fully charged."


They stepped through the security field and Bohb could feel the hair down his back tingle. There had been a staging area cleared for the shuttle and they headed towards it.


"The Commander seemed to be quite worried about those aboard though we don't know yet if they are showing signs of a contagion."


“I have not been updated,” Bohb replied. “I find it best to expect the worst and hope for the best. That way I’m never truly surprised.”


As they approached the area Bohb saw a few straggling crewmen. The term he rather liked was lookie loos.


“This area is to be cleared of all personnel,” he ordered. “That means everyone out. Now.”


There was a small amount of shuffling as the bay cleared out. Bohb didn’t want any possibility of the contagion getting passed along. He looked at William and nodded.


“We’ll, Mr. William, I suppose we wait.”  He tapped his comm badge. “Bohb to Verin we are in place and ready.”
