{Shuttle Sabine}

"Meet Entity Six-Zed-Zero." K’ner told her, using the designation provided by the computer scan.

Mira cursed as her eyes meeting the wispy looking entity. “Was it at one time one of the colonists? Or the Delazari?” or darker thought was it the God that started all the Ascending? If it was the last possibility they couldn’t bring it back to the ship. She wasn’t even sure if it was safe to bring it on the ship at all.

As if he had read her thoughts, Kevin informed the Chuck Norris that the shuttle was going to hold position 500 kilometers behind the ship.

"It came through the hatch before the protective field came online, just barely. The holo-show seems to be holding its interest, but I'm out of ideas beyond that. Normally the wisps wander and fade, but this one is still, at least... well, holding position I mean. If it's connected to the larger mass it doesn't seem to be agitated when separated from it. Perhaps it's one the colonists before it's been... assimilated yet?" K'ner shrugged slightly, still holding position but unsure what she can do other than maybe an electrical stun charge if it moves towards the Captain, or a critical system.

Mira frowned her head hurt from lack of caffeine. Make decisions without caffeine wasn’t going to happen. “Well I am not sure what to do with it. If it’s a colonists they might want help but unless we are sure that it is safe we can’t dock with the ship. We need food and full check up. Kolar is going to have that grumpy face because he missed story time with his dad.” Mira fingers tapped her leg “can we use the transporter filters to beam the crew back to the ship. Then maybe get your equipment to run test on it. We could…… We didn’t kidnapped it did we? Because bring it back isn’t a good idea.”

K'ner nodded. "As long as it stays back here, that should work to get everyone over to the ship. I can further determine its specs while the away team goes thru decon procedures, just in case. The shuttle can be towed along like a quarantine pod, and I can even fly it independently should it become necessary if we encounter any... activity en route."

Mira nodded slowly “alright medical and the science department can work under you on this one.” She gave a little chuckle “I already made the ship a nursery, why not a fly menagerie of oddities as well. We have a walking coffee pot I need to name him. Oh maybe they will make friends.” She laughed thinking her life was crazy.

She turned to Keven. “inform Montgomery of the change in plans and start having the crew beam over full decon and the ones of us that broke protocol beamed straight to med decon.”

As they phased out in sequence, K'ner unlocked her boots and turned back to the tiny cloud. "Well, what to do with you?"

The holo seemed to hold its interest, but that wouldn't last long. K'ner varied the graphics, watching for reactions.


{ Med Decon 1 }

Billingsly and Korra watched the board as the away team transported in. So far it all looked clean, no anomalies in the scans.

"All good," Billingsly reported to Montgomery, then the Captain when it was her turn to beam over. "Welcome back Captain. The others are being held for further testing as you directed."

Mira’s eyes widened to find herself standing in the transporter room. she had expected to be in the decon room. “Ah my scans are clear?”

At their nod she relaxed and deactivated the helmet. Taking a deep breath of the ship air. It wasn’t necessary, she had air in the suit still. She thought about it Ok it just wasn’t necessary at all. Why she felt the need to she didn’t know.

“keep an eye on our guest and check with the communications department see if they can come up with a way for it to talk with us.”

Mira turned to her quarters to get out of the EV suit and take a shower. Food would be the next thing that is on her list. Unless something else more important came up before hand. By now the Kids were in the holoroom playing. After her shower she would check on them then food but she needed coffee. And just like that standing in the middle of her room was her walking coffee maker.

“Well thank you” she picked up the hot mug of Raktajino with a smile. “we need to come up with a name for you.” The little machine vibrated happily. Mira laughed “how about Chip?”

It vibrated again making little beeps.
“ok Chip it is” She moved to the shower.
