Duty Log Stardate 239905.10



I have now been following a group of natives for a period of four days. They

seem to be resting periodically, during which, I utilise the time to move

closer for a better look. I am unsure whether they are aware of my presence

as they themselves seem to be following something.

My tricorder readings show the group to consist of humanoids, they are

simply dressed and seem to have limited weapons capabilities. I believe that

they may form part of a cult as each night they peform a ritual, consisting

of the chanting of what seem to be prayers (the words undistinguishable due

to the distance betweeen us) and the sacrifice of a native beast, a canine.

They may not be indiginous to the planet as I feel that they have knowledge

of more advanced technology than is used here, but do not utilise it. I have

seen evidence of communication devices which suggests that they have bases

scattered across the region. I must be wary of the chance of discovery

within close proximity to these and of the 'natives' ' potentially hostile

intentions. It is my opinion that we must ask ourselves some key questions,

before attempting to make contact with them. How does

the alternate dimension operate? If these people are part of the human race

(as their physiology suggests) are their ethics the same? What differences

can we anticipate between the differen toutcomes of the universe? There

are few answers to these questions without approaching the beings, however I

must reccommend to myself that this only be done when all information needed

to ensure safety of the crew has been gathered. In a universe of infinite

possibilities, the probability of differences between two weakly linked

races is high and so any unresearched meeting could give rise to

disasterous consequences for both. The Prime Directive ensures that

other races must not be adversely affected by any of our actions, therefore,

I intend to keep it this way.
