*Looks at Balkazar who is treating his wounds. Rasmain kneels down besides him. He begins whispering to the Lieutenant Commander*

"Commander, watch out! You are playing with fire here! We are now on planet Dantor, which is under the command of Admiral Owens. He's in control of every starfleet officer that beams onto this planet! So if you want to keep those pips on your collar and not receive a bad marking in your record, I advise you to keep cool."

*Rasmain then stands up and faces the admiral again*

"Sir, I would like to have permission to proceed with our away-mission. The away-team has been held up due to the Romulans but wants to continue their investigation. This can ofcourse only be done with your approval."

*The awayteam was transported back into the caves from where they had left several days ago.*

"Commander Balkazar, take your team and secure the vicinity"

*Rasmain then turns to Comm One as Commander Balkazar  ordered his team around*

"Have you been briefed on what has happend with the doctor and our alien?"

*Rasmain came around a corner holding a tricorder in front of him, he immediately bumped into Commander Balkazar as Rasmain was keeping an eye on his tricorder the whole time*

"Sorry Commander, I must say that this is very interesting. Comm One, the composition of these skelletons are remarkable, I believe that these are the natives of this planet or better say were....."

*Rasmain turns to Lieutenant Russo*

"How is the doctor doing? Did he already had contact with the being? I find it a bit restless, it doesn't seem to like this place" *Rasmain watched the alien as she was hiding in a corner*

*Rasmain came running around a corner and bumped into the Admiral. The two fell on the floor and were laying on top of each other*

"Ow I'm sorry Sir! Didn't mean this...."

*Rasmain stood up quickly and extended his hand*

"Me and Lieutenant Kelly have just beamed down from the Skytoucher but it seems that only the Lieutenant was transported to the right location. I had to walk through several buildings before I heared the yelling and began running to this location"

OFF: How many away-team members are still here? I was awaiting a reply, but it seems that only Balkazar and me are active. I hope we can still continue this story!

*Rasmain crouched towards Comm One and assisted in the defence. The spiders were everywhere and phaserfire could be heared on all sides of the base*

"Comm One, is there a chance we will survive this? As you are a droid, I'm sure you can give me an estimate....."

"Understood Major"

*Commander Rasmain sees Major Keller leave with several men but before leaving the secured paramaters, he gives instructions to the ones that stay behind with the away-team of the USS Skytoucher. Commander Rasmain then turns to Balkazar*

"All right Commander, let's see what Comm One and AK have been doing. The spiders seem to cease their attacks for now, so we need to use the given free time!"

*Rasmain sees the Romulan dematerialize and he then faces the admiral again*

"Is everything going as planned sir? Or are there more Romulans on this planet?"

*Rasmain had listened to the whole conversation and raised his eyebrows after Balkazar walked away*

"Gentlemen! What are we doing?"

*Rasmain sees Balkazar returning and Major Keller also turns around.*

"If I understand it right, you can't come to a simple solution here?"

*As the two officers stand infront of Rasmain, he turns to Commander Balkazar*

"Commander, what Major Keller told you about the Black waves is true. When we are back from this away-mission you are ordered to read upon them! We also grant his men, quarters on our ship."

*He then turns to Major Keller*

"I'm sorry for my Lt.Commander, but ofcourse he had no right to order you or your team around. But what he tried to say was that he would like to have your assistance while we are down here. We are trying to find out what the alien *points at AK* has with this planet or these caves.
If we would go up and contact the Skytoucher or your encampment, we would endanger this mission and the lives of the men we would be sending after us.
The sooner this mission is ended, the sooner we can leave this place and move back up to the surface. We could then contact the Skytoucher and tell them to transport your men aboard.
This is ofcourse a suggestion, but the decision is yours. I'm not in command over your men, only my own and I will, to ensure their safety, follow you. Staying behind with only 6 officers would be suicide."

*Rasmain was at the other side of the cave, helping a group of marines fighting groups of metallic spiders that were trying to break their defenses. Suddenly the spiders broke off their attack and moved back, into the darkness*

"What was that?" *Rasmain asked one of the marines*

*Rasmain stood up and nods to the group, he walks over to Commander Balkazar and Major Keller*

"Goodevening, I believe. I see that you have everthing under control Commander Balkazar http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>."

*Rasmain then notices that Comm One and Ak are leaving the secured parameters*

"What have I been missing Commander?" *pointing at the two teammembers leaving*


OFF: Balkazar, the ID of Kassie has been uploaded. Sorry for the absence!

*Rasmain entered the bridge out of one of the turbolifts*

"Sorry for my absence Commander Freeman, but almost every corridor seems the same on this ship."

*Rasmain laughs but then notices the serious look on Freeman's face*

"Allright, please tell me....what has happend? I was informed by Captain Taurik about his transport to the Evolution. Has he convinced Admiral Sanchez already?"

*As Rasmain heared that, he turned to the direction of Freeman and whispered*

"Aren't our orders to stop the Evolution and take it back in one piece? If we don't take actions before we reach that border, we will be pulled in an even greater conflict! The Loxian Government will take immediate action when they see two Starfleet Vessels nearing their homeplanet.
I know that Captain Taurik gave you personal orders, but rules and orders from High Command don't justify these actions..."

*Meanwhile in sickbay*

"Doctor..." *Rasmain sat on his biobed and looked for the doctor. As he came out one of the offices Rasmain jumped from the bed*

"I think I'm ready to return to duties, or are there still tests that you need to perform?"

"I have no idea doctor, I think I will be reassigned but as I haven't been debriefed by Admiral Montrell I'm still clueless. By the way, I want to thank you for the care you gave myself and my crew. I will not forget to mention your actions in my report."

*They turned around the corner and stepped into the open turbolift*

*Meanwhile in sickbay*

"Doctor! I need to speak to Captain Taurik immediately!"

*Rasmain was laying on one of the biobeds and had a hard time to lift up from it, and sit straight*

"Are they going to salvage the Skytoucher? Did they get all the crew off?"

*As Rasmain had all these various questions and a massive headache, he came to sense that the doctor wouldn't know the answers to his questions. He therefor layed back down on the biobed and mumbled something but then fell a sleep*
