Divided

[Lyretha t'Stellam]

These energy aehallh-a (ghosts) seemed undirected. They did not attack but the closer they came to Engineering, the more often they encountered these phenomena. At the end of the corridor they had just entered the doors stood open, ringed with the green energy. In the dimness of it something solid passed in front of the light. She halted the others, holding her hand up and bringing her finger to her lips for silence. She crouched low and raised her disruptor, then quietly began to move toward the shifting shadows in the room.

[Lyretha t'Stellam]

Lyretha inched toward the door. She could not scan the room, the interference caused the tricorder to be useless except for tracking the energy levels. She could hear a drone of voices within; deep sounding. Male she thought. No energy manifestation they had encountered had ever spoken. She listened at the entrance. There was a hum from within, the sound of machinery operating, but otherwise silent. No sign that the voices had been alerted to their presence. Disruptor in hand, she slipped through the door, ready to confront yet another ghost or even the remnants of the sphere's crew. Two Federation officers stood there. One a Marine and wearing the insignia of the Aryes. She holstered the weapon but her expression was hardly one of pleasure to see them.

"Au are from the Aryes?" She stated very matter of factly in lieu of a greeting.

[Major Clyde Greathouse]

He sees a Female Romulan Disruptor in hand, slip through the door, He quickly reached for his phaser a natural reaction and quickly pulled his hand away as she holstered the weapon her expression was hardly one of pleasure to see them.

"Au are from the Aryes?" She asked in lieu of a greeting.

"Yes I'm 1Lt Clyde Greathouse MCO of the USS Aryes, This is Ltjg Liews Reid CENG" he says as he points to Reid

"Nice to meet you Ma'am" he replies

[Lt Aidan McKenzie]

Aidan followed the romulan woman as quietly as he could, he saw her hand raised as if to silence them and even he knew when to be quiet

He heard voices up ahead and he made his phaser ready, not sure what to expect. Hopefully no more ghosts floating up practically right in front of him, scaring him half to death

He followed the romulan woman in, ready to blast anything that jumped out at them. When he saw the source of the voices: Clyde and the Chief Engineer. he smiled and put away his phaser, seeing the romulan woman do the same. She didn't seem pleased to see Clyde. Course, she didn't seem pleased at all

"Hey, Clyde. Fancy meeting you here. What do you think about this place? Pretty spooky, eh?"

[Major Clyde Greathouse]

Sees Aidan enter the room "Hey Aidan, This place is something but not spooky to me" he smiles

"I have seen spookier places"

[Arrain Quol]

The Ferengi reluctantly drew his weapon and followed the team inside engineering, but before he ever crossed the threshold he could identify the voices as belonging to hew-mons. Their collars were green and yellow respectively. A marine and engineer, no doubt.

He had meant to inquire further, but it was at that point he noticed the engine room itself. It was a beautiful, large, and complex set of technology. The world and the voices of both crews were suddenly lost to him as he drifted toward the Borg engine. It was like nothing he had even seen before, or even dared to dream of. His gaze fell to the controls before him and the possibilities, theories, and layers upon layers of quantum equations swam through his head. He was barely able to contain the smile that spread across his face.

[Capt Inid Kiara]

Seeing the signal for silence she followed suit and the Romulan woman.

[Reha Khev]

She watched with interest remaining in the back of the away team her com link open.

[Lyretha t'Stellam]

Lyretha nodded to the Marine lieutenant and the engineer. Quol had entered last and as he saw the engines, his usual look of apprehension changed into one of pure rapture. It was if he had just seen an enormous pile of latinum. Taking advantage of the time that McKenzie and Greathouse were using to exchange pleasantries with one another, she whispered to the Ferengi.

"Keep your observations to yourself but scan and record everything that you can. When you are finished, transfer the information to this chip and return it to me."

She slipped him the recording chip.
Hiding the transport would be impossible, but it would be the quickest and most efficient way of getting the information to the Riov.

[Arrain Quol]

Quol was vaguely aware of what the security chief said as he continued his investigation of the engine. He took the chip and inserted it into his ssaith, but when he turned on the scanning device the only real readings he could get were the energy levels around them... Any observations or conclusions he came across would have to be entered manually.

[Major Clyde Greathouse]

He walks over to a corner and examen's the area he whispers into his open com with his back to them "The female Romulan just whispered to one of her crew"

He shakes his head looking at it "I'm Glad you'll figure this out Reid" he laughs "Way over my head"

[LtCmdr Dr. Cindy Lee McKenzie]

She looks at Shran "Sir I told you the general nature of Romulans I shall listen to the com for anything that might help, and watch the video if we have any then I can make recommendations as I have never meet her."

She hears Clyde on the Com "Like that sir she is giving orders based on the Romulans honor it is not to attack, that would bring dishonor. I wish I could do more but your treating them like hostels is the best way to keep them from taking the tech"

[Captain Shran]

"Do your best, Counselor," he says as he turns his attention back to the viewscreen. "But the the interference from whatever has been going on down there has gotten worse. The comm-systems haven't been transmitting for nearly an hour now. We can't even tell where they are on sensors because the interference with our equipment is so bad."

[Salissa t'Vlack]

As the interference became more intense the link provided by Reha was doing very little to nothing. She looked around her quarters and tried again.

"F'vadt" she hated to be out of the loop, cut off from knowing every detail. She attempted again to listen, when she couldn't hear anything she rose from her seat, after slapping her desk then left for the bridge.

Her cloak was missing as were her rank pips. And her general attitude informed everyone that it was not the time for another annoyance.

[Veralen Sahen]

She was at her station and straining to hear what was happening on the surface. Having a Federation so close them was not very comforting and she reminded herself several times that they were working together.
