Aravis turned from her console as she completed the shutdown sequence.
There was a certain amount of logic behind what Commander McTiernan
was saying. This was a small science facility. More security should
have been assigned to them with recent events. While the Commander
probably should have requested more men, there was no guarantee that
he would have gotten them. "I believe that it is time to disembark.
We can straighten this out off ship. I would like you to file a
report about these vessels with Starfleet Security and Starfleet
Intelligence. I think it will be of interest to both departments,
particularly when my report for this mission is filed."
"I will compile a report right away, Lieutenant," answered McTiernan
as he stood to depart the Runabout. "I understand your concerns. Do
you have any idea who those people on the moon were or what they were
doing?"
"I believe they might be connected with a group of terrorists that are
trying to make sure that the Solar System is preserved for humans.
They had already made a number of attacks, and I have a feeling that
those folks on that facility are closely tied to our 'friends'."
McTiernan had heard of the troubles the Brotherhood had caused recently
and was greatly concerned that they had become enmeshed into this part
of the system. It was not a good sign of things for the future. He
glanced toward the Runabout after they stepped out and wondered where
the rest of the team was.
Gabe Ares stepped out of the runabout followed by the rest of the team.
He was still looking a little worse for wear, but overall, he was all
right. He was looking forward into investigating the situation with
the mysterious woman a little more closely. He made his way over to
Lt. Holt. "Will you and your team be remaining on Io?"
