OOC: Ok..the first part of my log takes place before I enter the ready

room…



Ktryna was suddenly acutely aware of the fact that she was totally

alone....out of place .....no ties....no connection.  Her thoughts

wondered to Mike and to Beldin....she wondered what happened to

them....the first a close friend...more so maybe..the

latter...herfather...stern at times but still. She doubted her

usefulness....{{Conselor, one will be around if one is needed....but

one assures that one will not be far off...}} she sent out toward the

counselor.  Nodding she turned and loped away, leaving the cmdr and the

counselor to meet the two others who emerged from the ship.  She sensed

no danger...but stayed alert.  Eventually she found a place from which

to observe and to wait.  She figured if she were needed she would be

called.  



The time  passed slowly.  She could see movement even from here….and

although things were tense …they were quiet.   She sensed them moving

about.  The suns moved on in their orbit…She felt some one brush her

thoughts. {{Ktryna, the Cmdr has called a meeting. You should return

now}} She felt Triss’ thoughts  and sent an acknowledgment back. {{One

is on one’s way}}  She stretched and rose…and loped back to the ship.  



She has just stepped inside when she encountered the terran that had

rescued them.  Distrust still radiated from her…and Ktryna was still

annoyed.   She reacted to the emotions coming from the young woman….she

hunched low to the ground, growling she backs the young woman into a

corner.  

++taps++ Cdt.Jade…to…..Davis…

++taps++Davis here…what is it?

++taps++ You might want to meet me in the corridor to the bridge….I do

believe needed…..::growling can be heard over the comm link:: 

++taps++ I’m on my way Jade.



Davis steps out into the corridor to find Cdt Jade cornered up against

the wall, with Ktryna in her alternate form growling. 



"Can you do something …."

"Ktryna stand down….Now!" Davis ordered.  



Ktryna growled again….and resumed her normal form.  "She doesn’t trust

us…none of them  do…but it radiates from her…." ::Her face is

stormy..:: We have done nothing to her…or any of them….yet we are not

trusted….

The natives out there would think nothing of attacking if given the

chance…."



"Ktryna, I understand your concern but you cannot corner an

officer."

Davis said.



She nodded, her eyes flashing deep violet…betraying her annoyance. She

headed into the ready room and took a seat.  



(Insert CO’s Log here ….from the point where it says "Several Minutes

Later")



Ktryna turned and headed for the door of the ready room. It felt

strange to be wearing a SF uniform…if wearing it was what she was

really doing.  She had not thought this would happen, and she was

uncertain if it was right.  She motioned for Ruckwood to follow.



They headed for the TL. "We’ll start with the upper decks and work our

way down." Ktryna stated matter of factly.  "When we reach the deck

I 

will go to the left and you take the right. Understood?" Ruckwood

nodded.  The turbo lift stopped and Ktryna cautiously stepped out.  The

deck was eerily quiet.  It made her senese quiver.  She would be doubly

alert.  She motioned for Ruckwood to head in one direction and she

headed in the opposite.  When assured he was out of sight, she resumed

the wolf form and proceeded to search each room.  Her senses

heightened, she searched with both mind and nose.  The smell of death

still lingerd in the air…it would take a thourough cleaning at

spacedock to be rid of that odor.  She wrinkled her nose and continued

the search.  As she neared the TL she quickly morphed back into a

normal form.  Ktryna and Ruckwood made quick work of the search of the

decks soon reaching the lower levels.  They were about to enter a 

cargo holding area when the Ktryna’s senses were alerted.  She motioned

for Ruckwood to halt and be silent… although she was unsure of what his

reaction would be…she morphed  going liquid and slid under the door and

then back out.  "The outer cargo door has been tampered with, not yet

breached…but it means the natives know we’re here." 

Ruckwood swore. 

++taps++ Ktryna to Cmdr Davis. We have a problem.

++taps++Go ahead Ktryna

++taps++ It appears that the outer Cargo hold door has been tampered

with. The natives know we’re here…….They’re not a threat  at the

moment..but my guess is they’ll attempt to breach them when night

falls. I can sense them...they are close by…

++taps++Acknowledged, I’m own my way.

++taps++Understood. Ktryna out.



Ktryna turned to Ruckwood.  "I hope you and the others are right….and

we get this ship off the ground."

OOC: Ok Jade and Ruckwood...you're on :)
