Still on the Solstice, the away team, consisting of Captain Janssens, Commander Essar, Ensigns Ja'al, Jalando, Murdock, and Russet went down to the surface, after Ensigns Ja'al and Jalando made sure they had scanned the planet. The away team went down in a shuttlecraft, because transporting would be too great a risk. (there was still some sort of power drain) On the surface, the away team found a cave, with an elevator, which was apparently out of power.
At that moment, the captain started to see Elkor, the entity only the captain could see, again. He told the captain they could power up the elevator. The science ensigns figured out that the elevator and the other equipment on the surface could use the Solstice's sensors as a power supply. That's why the Solstice experienced that power drain. The Captain ordered the Solstice to scan the elevator site, and within a few moments, the elevator was reloaded.
Meanwhile, on the Solstice, XGO Underhill, the new xenologist arrived. He started helping Dr. Vok to clean up sickbay, when another ACMO walked in: ACMO Truesdale. The 3 of them were now going to awake Mr. Robertson, in order to try and cure him of his amnesia...
On the surface, the away team now went down to the bottom of the cave. What will they find there? Stay tuned... |
