=/\= Near engineering section, Secret Kzenti research station, Asteroid K-II, =/\= Michael gently moved down the metallic corridor, trying to make as little noise as possible with every step. In his left hand was the tricorder, which was showing the distance to engineering section, and in his right was the loosly held phaser rifle. With every step the team got closer to the section and Michael got more nervous of course he wasn’t letting it show but in the back of his mind there was great concern, the team was only 40 meters from the entrance of the engineering section and they had not encountered one guard, not one. Although this was in practise a good thing it did feel like some thing was very wrong. The team approached the last corner in the dimly lit corridor and did the manoeuvre they had practised at lest five times by now. Michael crossed to the far wall along with a private doing the same to the nearer wall, this effectively cut the corridor in half with any weapons fire crisscrossing across the passageway, then the team slowly moved through the middle of the passage. The entrance to the engineering section was now in sight. Michael again did not feel good. He was certain that there should have been a small group of guards at the entrance, but that was not to say he wasn’t in danger. Michael didn’t know it but as his team wall down the corridor they has Romulan disrupters trained on them waiting to fire. Michaels team stopped at the entrance of the engineering section. Two of the team laid down in the corridor facing away from the entrance for RG (rear guard), making sure the team were not surprised, the rest gathered around the large door. The first thing that Michael noticed that there was a large amount of damage to the entrance and surrounding wall. Michael looked to Oriana who was scanning the burn marks. “What are they?” She calmly put away the tricorder, “disrupter burns.” {Marvellous, the romulans are hanging around} Michael then noticed another of his men who had a panel off the door and was looking at the insides. “can you open it?” Michael said in a quite voice. The corporal looked up with a concerned look, “sir, I have never seen anything like this, I did even know what I’m looking at let alone open the door.” Before Michael could say anything he heard a hiss from one of the men on RG. Michael gentle moved over in a crouching motion, and knelt beside the laying man. “What is it?” asked Michael in his softest possible voice. The soldier pointed to the tricorder that was open on his life side, it was showing a guard walking towards their position. Within the next minute he would be on top of the team and their changes of getting in the engineering section would be lost. Michael stood up and looked around the corridor. On both sides of the entrance the corridor expanded in length were stood small communication stations, Michael moved slowly over to the stations and stood behind the small wall. It looked close but they would be able to hide on both sides. And wait until the guard was to close to call for reinforcements. It seemed the best option, there was also a few small grills in the corridor which looked like Jefferies tubes but there was only two and there would be no way that the team would fit. With deliberate hast the Michael, Oriana and the six men moved to the small hooks in the wall. With four on each side it would be almost like an ambush but inside a building. =/\= End Log =/\= _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool new emoticons http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/myemo
