     Although the weapons were on stun, several hits will kill. 
Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your outlook, the thrid Felinid was
hit by no less than 7 phaser blasts.  He died.

     They proceeded down the corridor and came to a junction of several other
cooridors.  A bad spot to stop in, so they stopped just short.

The Caitians in the group heard, and smelled, another group coming down.  This
group, which was actually three groups coming from different halls, was much
larger than the first they had encountered.  Tricorders indicated that the new
party contained no less than 12.
