=== Kzenti Facility === Gary followed jack as their team slowly made their way down the cold and impersonal halls. Everything about the Kzenti facility yelled at him {MACHINE}. With his tricorder in hand, Gary scanned the walls for anything out of the ordinary., What he found was extraordinary. The walls were made of a tritanium and neutronium alloy. This made them rather durable and hard at the same time. Gary wondered how they were able to manufacture the alloy since Neutronium was so dense and heavy. A cubic meter of neutronium must have taken a shuttle or two to lift in to any standard smelting facility. But the ally seemed rather ingenious. Because of the mixture, Gary figured the alloy had at least three times the strength of the simple tritanium hulls the federation used to make their ship. {Going in to battle with ships made of this would prove difficult. After their shields are gone, you still have to punch through this stuff.} he thought. They had traveled at least 100 meters form the air lock by now and the lingering smell of ozone was barely detectable by Gary's nose. As they turned a corner he noticed a faint discoloration on the wall. Lifting his tricorder up, Gary walked over to the mark and took a scan. After a few seconds he lowered the tricorder and looked at the results. Though the scans were less than conclusive, he had a faint trace of an energy signature. Tapping on the tricorder, he narrowed the scan parameters and scanned it again. The second time told Gary a little more. The faint but distinct energy signature surprised Gary, it was resembled a romulan disrupter. Gary began to wonder if they were not the only one to have attempted this mission. He turned back to the group and followed along. As the neared an intersection Gary noticed the lead scout hold up an hand to motion the group to stop. Gary was slightly behind Jack at this point ad could see Jack turn his head to listen. Gary tapped on his combat tricorder and passive scanned the area. {Two humanoids approaching and each with a weird signal. Kzenti!} he thought. He raised the tricorder and tapped Jack on the shoulder. Jack glanced at the tricorder and then waved to everyone to hide. Jack then looked back to Gary who had started a scan on what appeared to be a door with more scorch marks. Jack pointed to the door and then again, trying to get the point across to Gary to move. With a bit of astonishment Gary had not realized the room was reading empty, though with the strange metal the Kzenti used, he was no longer sure what his readings were telling him. Jack quickly started to pat the exterior of the door to try to open it. As if divine intervention happened, the door opened with out a sound. Jack quickly stepped in side and Gary followed. No sooner had they stepped inside the door closed and the sound of heavy metallic foot steps could be heard. Gary quietly slipped the tricorder in to a pocket and gripped his phaser rifle with both hands. As the footsteps approached the door, Gary could see Jack tense a little in the dim light that came from some where in the room. As quickly as the foot steps had arrived, the seem to leave, and Gary could hear a slight puff of air except Jack. Gary loosened his grip on the rifle and pulled out his tricorder. Jack started to look for the release for the door when Gary slowly started to move towards the faint light. As he grew closer to the lint he started to make out a shape. He scanned and started to pick up traces of bio material, strangely familiar biomaterial. The closer Gary moved to the light, the more things became clearer. Glancing over his shoulder all Gary could make out of Jack was the soft "pat, pat, pat " of Jacks searching. Now directly in front of the light, Gary could make out the shape, it appeared to be a sheet covering what he guessed was a humanoid body. Gary lowered the tricorder and tucked it away. He then reached down and lifted the sheet to reveal the highly burned face of a romulan. Gary thew the sheet back a little more and revealed the upper part of the uniform. He the looked back in to the darkness to Jack. "Sir I don't think we were the first ones to come her and figure out what the Kzenti re up to." He called out in a soft voice. "What?" Jack replied form the darkness. "The romulans sir. I think they beat us here." H e replied. "How would you know that Petty Officer?" Jack replied as his foot steps slowly approached. Gary stepped to one side and pointed. "Because of that sir." He said revealing the dead body to Jack. "And look at the uniform. "Jack stepped in to the dim light and bent over to take a closer look. ===End Log === PO1 Gary Williams ODA Ops Spec.
