=== Security office === Gary had just finished the incident report on the Romulan when Jack appeared thorough the doors to the office. Gary called attention at the surprise appearance of the ODA CO. Jack did not say a word as he sauntered through scanning the room for something. Gary smiled and tried to ease the seriousness of Jacks appearance. "Everything went as planned?" Gary remarked. "Of Course petty officer" Jack unclipped a small device from inside his left cuff and threw it to Lynch. Begin analyzing the scans I took. I want scenarios for every kind of mission on that terrain." he smirked. Gary craned his eyes to see what Jack had thrown Specialist Lynch, Wondering what exactly Jack had been able to acquire. Whit very few words, Jack retrieved a few items form his locker and then quickly headed in to his office, not much in the mood to talk. Gary motioned to lynch, "What do you have there?" he asked. Lynch shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know, some sort of scans. Let me plug this in to the ships computer and see what we have." He replied. Gary nodded. And sat back down at a desk. Though he was about ready to go, there were still several minutes to go before he and the rest of the oda team needed to head down to the shuttle bay. After a few minutes, Lynch called to Gary form a data terminal nestled in a corner of the room. Gary stood up and walked over to Lynch, "What you have?": he asked. "Well," Aidan started," It appears to be scans of the Kzenti . Very interesting, They are Cyborgs after a fashion." "Cyborgs? Like the Borg? Could this be some Borg offshoot we have not heard of yet?" Gary asked. "well not really." Aidan said. "See here. Cybernetic implants, enhancers and the sort. But they don't seem to be as complex as Borg. From these scans, there do not seem to be any nanites, like the Borg use. And they still have their vital organs. Their implants are additions to their body, not replacements." Aidan said. Gary thought to himself, {Well that is interesting. Here we thought they were normal humanoids, and now were could be faced with super soldiers. This could be interesting if we get tangled in to a fight with them.} Gary then looked down to Aidan. "So any thing there we can use to our advantage? After all we are about to head out to a Kzenti installation. Any thing there we can use to help hide ourselves form their sensors. Unlike the chimera, the type 10 shuttle does not have a cloak to shield us form prying eyes." He chuckled. Aidan shook his head. "Not that I can tell, but I will download the data to a pad and see what I can find on the way there." He replied. Gary nodded, "Good. Work on that as long as you can here and then report to the shuttle bay." Aidan replied, "Aye petty officer." Having waited long enough, Gary decided it was time to draw his phaser rifle. Gary left the security office and down the hall to the armory. While he waited for the armor to hand him his rifle he was thinking about the data Aidan had been reviewing. {These people have some similarities with the Borg. I wonder if they had contact with the Borg and some how took that technology form them. If so, they could have some immunity to our weapons.} he thought. As the armor handed the rifle to Gary, Gary looked quizzical at the armor. "Do e a favor. Hand me a dozen or so of those modified isolinear chips for phaser rifles, the ones for use with Borg. " He said. The armor looked oddly at Gary, "Are you sure Petty officer?" He asked. Gary nodded, "I think so. Let's just call it a hunch. Better safe than sorry though." He smiled. The armor nodded and went to the back of the armory to retrieve the items requested. Once he returned he handed them to Gary. Gary pushed the hand full of chips in to a cargo pocket and headed down to the shuttle bay. ===shuttle bay=== Once the remaining members of the away team had assembled in the corridor out side the shuttle bay, Gary lead them inside to the shuttle. He was wondering where the lieutenant was, until the doors of the shuttle bay had opened and he saw the lieutenant standing at the shuttle.. Gary saw the lieutenant standing there, dressed in his armor and ready for bear, with photon grenades dangling from every possible place on his webbing. As Gary approached the lieutenant, Michael, nodded and spoke, "Are we ready to go Petty officer?" Gary nodded back, "Aye sir. Eva suites are on board in case we need them. Lieutenant Foster has also planed our flight path to keep us as hidden as possible form the sensors of the facility and downloaded the plan to the shuttle." Gary chirped out in precision. Michael nodded. "Good lets get loaded up and going. Gary nodded, "Aye sir." He motioned to the oda members behind him and then looked back at Michael. "Sir, Marine Captain Walsh had returned from the planet." "The planet? Some thing wrong?" Michael asked. Gary shook his head. "Don't know sir, he did not say. But he did manage to make scans of the Kzenti technology. Sir they are like Borg in many ways. We need to be cautious." Michael looked like in thought and responded, "Borg? Cyborg?" he replied. Gary responded. "Yes sir, Cyborg. Not sure if they are related to Borg at the moment, Lynch is trying to determine that. But as a precaution I have withdrawn the modified isolinear chips for use with the bog, the ones that automatically modulate phaser rifle frequencies. I figured they might come in handy." Michael nodded, "Very well petty officer, Lets hope we don't need to use them." Gary nodded in kind. As the last of the oda members boarded the shuttle Michael looked at Gary, "Ok lets get moving. I will pilot the shuttle. You lock up here." Gary nodded and watched Michael stepped in to the shuttle. Gary followed in suit and stepped in. As he turned to close the shuttle door, He saw the doors from the corridor open up and Jack step through ad a reasonable pace. Catching Jacks eyes, he could tell jack was heading straight for the shuttle door. With a rifle in his hands, Gary could only guess Jack was accompanying them. As Jack silently stepped on to the shuttle, Gary watched as Jack headed to the cockpit. Gary then shut the door to the shuttle and settled down for their trip to the facility. ===End log=== PO1 Gary Williams ODA Ops. Spec USS Chiemra
