Divided

[Lyretha t'Stellam]

She watched the others leave the oira before she turned and formally addressed the Riov.

"By your leave Lhhei." She bowed slightly. "My comm channel will remain open and I have set the controls on my console to record automatically."

The Riov returned her nod in dismissal.

Lyretha hurried out, stopping only briefly at the armory for a disruptor and to requisition a Federation style tricorder.

[***Dhivael Action***]

All members of the Away Team are beamed to the crash site.

[Arrain Quol]

It took the Ferengi a moment to get his bearings. Transportation was always one of his more unpleasant experiences. He looked around and any courage he had suddenly wilted at the sight of the dead Borg ship.

He buried his face in the Romulan tricorder device, called a ssaith, and tried concentrating on the small screen to keep down his rising urge to flee.

[Lt Aidan McKenzie]

He glanced over to see the Romulans beam down.. although one wasn't romulan. He looked closer "who.. what"? he muttered

Then it hit him and he nearly drew his phaser. He whispered to Inid "There is a Ferengi over there and in a Star Fleet uniform" He said in an accusing manner

He was still vividly remember what had happened with his first encounter with the Ferengi. It did not end well and he was sure he would have been a goner if it hadn't been for the dude in the 28th century

[Arrain Quol]

Quol looked up and saw the Starfleet ensign. He dropped the ssaith and put his hands up. Ambush. he yelled.

[Lt Aidan McKenzie]

Looks like his second encounter isn't going to go so good either. When the Ferengi threw up his hands and yelled "Ambush"!

His eyes went wide and he snapped his head around trying to look at where the Ambush is coming from "What... where"?

[jerrodrenn]

Renn breams down with the other AT members and raises his hand. "Stand down, Daise this is a co-op mission. Give the officer a chance to identify himself.

[Arrain Quol]

You tell him to stand down, he yells at the Bajoran. He is the one who was reaching for his phaser. I prefer to remain alive.

[Capt Inid Kiara]

She looked at Aidan, "Relax. There is no ambush your just as bad a frighten Ferengi seeing his shadow."

She looked at the Romulan AT, and hoped she would pronouce it right. "Julon'true. We were sent from the USS Aryes to work with you. Excuse McKenzie, hes not used to Romulans or Ferengi."

She looked and saw the Bajoran in the Romulan AT. She knew it was a mixed AT. But she never expected a Bajoran. She smiled and nodded at him.

[jerrodrenn]

He nodded back at the Bajoran who seemed to be in charge. "Now we all know who we are can we set aside the weapons, this mission is delicate enough. He bowed. I am pleased to meet you all and hope to be of some service.

[Arrain Quol]

The Ferengi picked up the ssaith and muttered. What do you expect? Drag a person down to a dead Borg ship and then you start making sudden movements. How could I not be cautious? he started recalibrating the scanning device and stood next to the taller Bajoran.

[Lt Aidan McKenzie]

He raised his hands slowly, to about chest level, to show the others that he did not go for his phaser, but he had thought about it when he saw the Ferengi

He muttered in a low tone so only Inid could hear him "Mr. Ferengi is blind. I didnt even reach for my phaser"

[Arrain Quol]

I am not blind, responded Quol... Nor am I deaf. He pointed to his lobes. What exactly do you have against a Ferengi in a Starfleet uniform. I earned this uniform. How did you get yours... a lucky hand of Dabo?

[Lt Aidan McKenzie]

He looked a little surprised that the Ferengi heard him but he thought with ears like his. He spoke to the Ferengi "I have nothing against a Ferengi in a Star Fleet Uniform, sir. Just I never seen one in said uniform before"

He looked a bit confused when he mentioned this dabo. He assumed that it was some sort of game. "I have never heard of this Dabo, but like you, I have earned to wear this uniform"

[Arrain Quol]

Okay, replied the Ferengi. Then maybe I was too hasty in my assessment. I have met many a hew-mon who has felt that a Ferengi has no business being in Starfleet. What you said reminded me of those types.
