["Basically I've just seen what one of these Kzenti soldiers can do, If we get into an all out fight we're going to need an ace in our sleeves. Judging by initial tactical scans, their improved strength and speed are derived from cybernetic implants in the right places. Some kind of Electromagnetic pulse on the right frequency should give us an advantage. I know we're not expecting a fight, but we HAVE to be ready" Jack sounded almost desperate. "Ok Captain, I see your point. I'll get Engineering on it right away. Now, don't you have a mission to prepare for?" Summers eyed Jack, seeming very short with him, he wondered why. ] *** Bridge * USS Chimera *** Rangi waited for a moment or two but Jack said nothing more. She spoke quietly, fixing him in a steady gaze. "That will ofcourse be 'after' you have checked into sickbay Captain." Before he could answer, she tapped her commbadge. +Taps+ Summers to sickbay + +Taps + Desoto here + came the quick responce. +Taps+ Marine Captain Walsh will be there shortly..+ she said, still holding Jacks gaze. There was a short pause. +Taps + Yes ma'am? + came Steves cautious reply. +Taps+ I want you to carry out a full Berylite scan + This time his voice held a touch of surprise. + Taps + A full Beryli...... + +Taps + Yes! + Rangis voice cut off his words. " ...a 'full' scan...and I would like to see the results + +Taps + Yes ma'am...ofcourse. + *** In sickbay, Steve and Nurse Fleming, exchanged glances.Up until a moment ago, they had been enjoying a break. Now Lucy shrugged. "She wants a full scan...I'll set it up." Steve watched as the nurse hurried away and then glanced uncertainly at the main entrance as though expecting to see Jack Walsh stride in at any moment. He gave an exasperated sigh and moved off in Lucys direction. *** On the Bridge Rangi said : "I will contact Lt Kirkland and tell him your idea.....and we always have to be ready for a fight Captain...after all,we're on unknown territory..meeting a little known race...in the company of Romulans.....I would hardly expect it to be a Summer picnic." A faint smile touched the corner of her lips. "Thankyou captain." she added and looked down at the padd in her lap, effectively signalling that the conversation was at an end. A few moments later, she raised her head and watched the ODA commander exit the Bridge. The smile reached her eyes as she returned her attention to the reports. *** End Log *** LtCmdr Rangi Summers CMO/AXO USS Chimera & Ltjg Steve Desoto AMO USS Chimera (npc) Rangi
