Arya heard the captain's wishes and the commander's objections. She waited for him, and they left the room together.
Once on the bridge they took their seats, hers just to the left of the captain's seat. She turned to him a little worried when the captain didn't come immediately out.
After a little bit the admiral came out giving the news. She realized he would be going, and she wasn't sure she liked that.
Arya sat back wanting to object, but she kept her mouth shut.
Steve walked towards the rear of the bridge, and turned to face the viewscreen. He tapped his commbadge.
Turning to the admiral, Steve called out. "Sir, if I may, I would also like to take our Counselor with me....I believe she could come in handy down there too."
Mc looked at Steve for a few moments before nodding. "Alright Commander, just make sure you both come back in one piece."
Steve just smiled, "I will do sir, you have my word." With that, he looked to Arya, and motioned for her to join him. She got up surprised at all of this, and moved to follow him.
They got in the turbolift, and she was confused not sure what she could offer to this.
"How would I benefit you on this mission?" She asked, only after they were alone in the turbolift.
Deck 15" Steve called, and the turbolift began moving.
"Well, first of all, I want you near to me. But secondly, who knows what we may find down there, so I would like you to come along." He replied with a smile. "Unless you dont want to come, of course? I could always take you back to the Bridge, so you can sit and wait, and worry about me!"
"NO!" she cried out quickly not wanting to be left behind like that. She moved closer smiling. "Thanks for thinking of bringing me along, most guys would prefer to leave their girls behind in safety. I would hate that," she said, and gave him a quick kiss.
Steve looked Arya in the eye. "So would I, normally. But you showed that you can take care of yourself in the Ready Room, so its not a problem." Steve wondered how easy it would be to complete his task. He aimed to get in, and back to the ship in the shortest amount of time as possible.
"Dont worry, I would never leave you behind."
"I am as ready as I am going to be any ways. Let's get this show on the road huh?" She said and chuckled, as they reached the deck needed.
A little bit later after his big speech they beamed to the required destination. She looked around when she first got there whipping out her phaser in the blink of an eye. Arya noticed the area, and shot a man trying to shoot the commander.
Once the assailant hit the floor, Steve turned to Arya. "Thanks." He said, and turned to the rest of the Away Team.
"Our mission here is to head into this structure, locate and secure a piece of technology that seems to have caused us to move dimensions. We need to find it and get it back to the Raven as soon as possible. As is already evident, there may be people trying to stop us, so keep your eyes and ears open." He finished talk and turned to Arya again, and nodded. "Lets move out."
She watched to see what might happen. She didn't want to be taken off guard by someone trying to kill them. She noticed there were several people in there way, and wondered if this was a good idea.
"Hey, wait," she said and pulled out a tricorder to see if she could scan for the devise, and instead found a high force field in an area a little bit away. She noticed the route, and sighed. Arya walked over to be right beside the commander.
"Sir, we need to take this route to get to that force field, where I believe our device is," she said quickly, noticing it would take them to the right first. She hoped there wouldn't be too many people along this route.
"All right, lets head out." He commanded. "I want you next to me." He told Arya, and then looked to the rest of the team. "I want one man on point, one at the rear. The rest of you I want staggered left and right." With that command set, he began to move off. With any luck, they wouldn't encounter too much resistance. None at all would be even better.
She smiled thinking she understood why he wanted her close to him.
A bit later they had found the force field, without too much difficulty. Some of the people here had gotten in the way, and tried to harm them, but the security detail did their job, and very well at that.
"Any ideas on how we get this thing down?" the question asked by one of the security people.
"A few, I am not sure what would work though," she said and scanned the field to see what they might do.
"We could short circut several of the systems here, the ones that might include the force field, weapons, and such," she suggested quickly.
Steve rolled his eyes. "Where's an engineer when you need one?" He said aloud. "You any good at that stuff?" He asked Arya. "All I am good for is blowing things up and protecting stuff. Perhaps there is some form of control panel somewhere." He added, looking around the immediate vicinity.
"I can try my best, but there may be slow going on this. Might be in a different language or something. If your so good at it sir, protect me and I will figure this out," she said teasing him a little, and turned her attention to her tricorder, not wanting to look for a control pannel.
Arya accessed some systems from her tricorder, and hit something, there was a second, and then the lights went out. She sighed, ~now what~ she thought.
Steve shot Arya a glance, which didnt really mean much because no-one could see anything, except for the lights on the tricorders and phasers. "And what did you do there?" He asked, jokingly. "Can you reverse it at all?" Steve added, by this point with a flash torch in his hand that he got from the security guys.
"If not, then I'll look for that panel again."
"I don't think so, I think we should move on, with the aid of that torch you are carrying. If they can't see, then they will be off guard for quite awhile. We should grab that object, and beam back to our ship," she said quickly.
"We will still need to get out of here first. If it was as simple as beaming straight out, we would have beamed in directly." Steve pointed out. "Ok people, let's go....the longer we stay in one spot, the bigger the chance of getting caught." Once again, they began to head out.
Arya acknowledged this, and her mistake. In the dark she took the commander's hand in hers squeezing it. They moved forward, and before they knew it there was a device right in front of them.
"This seems too easy," she said.
"That may be so." He replied, "But its not as if we havent encountered anyone." Steve released his hand in order to pick up the device while holding his light over it. "So THIS is what's been causing us all these problems?" He asked rhetorically. "Lets get it back to the Raven." He said as he lifted the device from its stand.
They moved out to walk back the way they came, and found that there were people waiting for them at the beam in site. She sighed, and aimed her phaser. The security detail did so as well, and the firing began. Soon they were all down, and the away team walked over carefully to be beamed back to the Raven.
Steve sighed, out of breath from the fire fight. He checked to make sure that everyone was all present and correct. Aside from a bruise of Steve's knee that he recieved while diving for cover from oncoming fire, everyone else was all ok.
They beamed back easy enough, and dropped off the device in engineering before heading to the bridge. They were alone again in the turbolift, and she noticed he was a little hurt, but said nothing.
They entered the bridge together. "Success admiral," she heard him say.
OOC: Backposting ever so slightly…also, please don’t hurt me as I try to copy the accent and yes, I weaselled out of a proper explanation, I’m sorry!
"E'Liana... what colour were the berries that we just ate in large quantities?"
Sheepishly, E’Liana grinned at Zoarial. “Um…yeah…sorry. Well, I’m a doctor not a dietician!” She said, hoping to lighten the mood a bit. At the glare she received for her troubles, she had the feeling it hadn’t been too successful.
Before she realised what was happening, the beasts were approaching them with what seemed like ropes. Ensign Haywood shouted suddenly: "STOP!"
The beasts stopped dead but held a firm grip on the Raven's crew.
The team huddled up together for support, E’Liana glad that someone had the brains to protest.
Zoarial, as the senior officer, took it upon himself to respond. He nodded and said, "Although I can't be of much help here, I'm a simple navigator. However..." he smiled slyly. "E'Liana is the Chief Medical officer onboard of the Raven, and she'll surely be able to help you."
E’Liana gaped at Zoarial’s back as he walked casually away, leaving her to seemingly fend for herself. ~So much for chivalry…~ She thought to herself, ignoring the fact that it was a very Human concept.
“um…right” She was worried, she had no scanners or effective knowledge of this planet and its flora and fauna. How was she meant to help? ~Let’s start with the obvious~ she thought.
“Ok…Do you still eat the berries?” She asked.
During the resulting silence between herself and the bears, she looked at them in a rather critical manner. This was a very simple and indeed natural – or so she had previously assumed – idea. If something made you feel ill, then surely you would stop eating it?
Zoarial finally came back with the others and they went their separate ways from the ‘locals’.
After a while, they began to hear a strange noise. As she was walking with Zoarial, she could hear it clearer than the others. “Z..L” Confused, they stopped momentarily. It sounded again. They couldn’t see anything.
For a few moments more, there was silence, and then they heard a new sound “…tor”. E’Liana’s eyes widened. She tapped her commbadge. “BeTor here?” She said, confused.
Once the away team was safely back onboard the Raven mc7 ordered the ships heading to Starbase 38, which was the nearest base that was capable of doing a full systems check on a ship the size of the Raven. He stayed on the Bridge for a while after they left orbit of the planet, before retreating to his quarters to begin work on his mission report for command. It was not in mc7's nature to 'run away' from a problem, but he knew when he, and the people he worked with, was able to solve one, and this was not one of those times. As such, he reccomended that a specialist science team in dimensional physics take posession of the machinery they aquired from from colony and conduct an investigation into the life forms found on the planet in this dimension.
He had decided to make his report a verbal one, as opposed to written.
This being my first mission in command of the Raven I have to say I am more than impressed with her crew. Not only are they eagre to do teir duty, but they do so with a diligence that I have yet to see surpassed within the fleet. They are each extremely compotent within their own field, and it should be noted in the senior staff's service records as such.
As he was drafting his report, he was sipping away at a cup of english breakfast tea. Nearing the end of the report he began to feel very sleepy, and although he had not slept in 26 hours, the way in which the sleep approached alarmed him. He never felt drowsy like this. Something was wrong. As he stood up to reach for his comm panel to call for medical assistance his legs gave way, and folded under him. Within seconds darkness envolped him completely, as he drifted into unconsciousness.
The door chime sounded, but there was no answer.
That's strange, Steve thought to himself. The Admiral said he was going to be in his quarters.
Instantly the computer replied, informing the XO that mc7 was not aboard the Raven.
A puzzeled look came accross Steve's face, as he tapped his comm badge to talk to the Bridge.
Bridge, when did the Admiral leave the Raven? And why was I not informed?
We didn't know he was gone either Sir. The sensors confirm that he was in his quarters up until 0836 hours, but after that his life sign just vanished from the Raven. There is no record of him leaving by any means though. The transporters haven't been used since we beamed the away team back, all shuttle craft are accounted for and none of the airlocks have been opened.
Ok. Go to Red Alert, and all stop.
Suddenly the lights dimmed and the corridor was filled with an erie red glow as klaxons sounded, and people all over the ship scrambeled to their duty posts.
Admist all the rushing around of crewmembers trying to get to their stations, Steve rushed to the Bridge. Mc's disappearance was unsettling to say the least......how could he have gone like he did?
He doors to the Bridge opened, and he walked through, and quickly sat on his chair, had a sudden thought, and moved into the centre chair instead.
Arya was sitting in her usual chair going over the crew evaluations.
"I think its time to leave those alone for now dear." He said to her sweetly. "Could you run a scan of the local vicinity? I want to see if there is any trace of the Admiral out there."
Arya hadn't realized he had entered as she was busy, and him speaking scared her a little. She jumped then looked over at him.
"Of course, I will be at Ops if you have need of me, you know what I mean," she said and winked as she moved over to ops to scan for him.
In the middle of the scan a call came in and it was urgent. "Sir, there is a message coming in for you, an admiral that needs your attention."
Steve sighed and shook his head. "Here we go...doesnt take them long, does it? On screen." He commanded, and a split second later a slightly balding, silver haired Admiral appeared on the viewscreen.
Commander, I am Admiral Gordon. We have just recieved a rather distrubing communication from an as yet unknown terrorist group. They claim to be taking responsibility of kidnapped Admiral Mc7 of 9. Now the last I was aware, he was still on the Raven. Would you like to comment on this?"
Steve couldn't quite get the words out. "As of 10 minutes ago, we discovered that Mc is no longer aboard the Raven, sir. We have begun scanning the area around us for him, but so far there is no sign."
Arya was overhearing this as she continued to scan, and wished she had more than of an answer, so far nothing was showing.
"Sir, he is no where to be found around here," Arya reported.
"Well then, return to Bellicose immediately, we will know where they are taking him shortly," the admiral said.
"Yes, sir." Steve replied, before the screen went blank. 'That was a bit blunt.' He thought.
He sat back down in his chair and held his head in his hands. He looked up, "Helm, set a course for Starbase Bellicose. Maximum warp." He ordered. He knew it would take the Raven a few days at best to get back there, and since there was nothing more that could be done for the moment, he was glad to have a bit of downtime.
"Oh, and stand down from red alert." He called, to whoever was willing to perform that task.
Within moments, the Raven went to warp, and the Red Alert was cancelled.
David Vegas had been at the helm the complete time that the awayteams were... lost, but felt sorry for himself that he didn't really see any action himself. Everytime there was a serious situation, his chief would be summoned to the bridge and he could step down again.
He hoped that one time they would reckognise his potential and put HIM in charge, but untill that happened he didn't have any grudge against his superior. It was just a small fantasy in the back of his mind, which was abruptly ended by Smith's command to head for the Bellicose.
"Helm, set a course for Starbase Bellicose. Maximum warp." Steven ordered.
"Aye sir." David replied and started up the engines while he entered the base's coordinates. Zoarial entered the bridge just as they shot into warp and stood still next to his assistant CNO.
"Commander Smith," Zoarial said. "I believe that it is wiser to go to Starbase 32 just as Mc7 ordered. We are still not sure what caused the dimensional shift and I am sure that it will take us less time to get to the Bellicose if we do some checks and repairs first. Who knows what might happen between now and arriving at the starbase."
"As you wish." Zoarial nodded, and motioned David to follow the commander's orders.
*reH 'eb tu'lu' ra'wl' HoD* Zoarial muttered under his breath as he left the bridge to head for his quarters. He was curious to see what the future would bring.
Steve stopped in his tracks at Zoarial's questioning.
"That as may be, Commander, but we have been ordered back to Bellicose. Now I for one am not going to disobey a direct order. Continue your course."
If anyone needs me, I'll be in the Ready Room.
OOC: Thats it.....the mission is over. Please see the new thread on Starbase Bellicose for shore-leave.

Taiwan’s presidential and legislative elections are taking place against a backdrop of a struggling economy marred by near-zero growth, stagnant wages and rising prices, a new report by the the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission said.
The economy is also suffering from the looming threat of an energy shortage, low domestic investment and overdependence on China, and the economic problems are expected to be deciding factors in the elections, said the report, titled Taiwan’s Economy Amid Political Transition.
The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) have shifted the focus of their campaigns away from the traditional question of Taiwan’s sovereignty, it concluded.
The report, prepared by commission staff and aimed at members of the US Congress, said that economic issues will now determine the election results.
It said that DPP presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) generally advocates improving Taiwan’s domestic economy by expanding social welfare benefits, raising the minimum wage and promoting local sources of innovation.
However, KMT candidate Eric Chu (朱立倫) seeks to prioritize Taiwan’s external economic relations, advocating further trade liberalization — especially with China — as a means of supporting export-led growth, it said.
“Stagnant wages, combined with unemployment in Taiwan’s largely high-skilled workforce, weak entrepreneurial innovation and low inbound investment, explain why Taiwan is in a period of slowing economic growth,” the report said.
“The severity of these domestic economic problems may explain why DPP candidate Tsai has maintained a strong lead in election polls,” it added.
Taiwan’s export-oriented economy has become dependent on China and vulnerable to fluctuations in Beijing’s economy, “contributing to a growth rate that has slowed to nearly zero,” the report said.
Further economic cooperation with a wider range of partners could help Taiwan diversify its export markets, identify solutions to its energy shortage and attract much needed inbound foreign direct investment, it said.
With Tsai generally expected to win the election, the report names five economists who will “likely take on prominent roles” in her administration.
US-trained economist Lin Chuan (林全), president of the DPP’s think tank, the New Frontier Foundation, would advocate for a comprehensive growth strategy that includes stimulating innovation, financial sector reform and diversification of free-trade partners, it said.
Another US-trained economist, Hu Sheng-cheng (胡勝正), is also expected to win a leading position in a Tsai administration.
Hu believes Taiwan’s economy has become too reliant on exports, saying that Taiwan should diversify by linking its high-tech sectors with more traditional industries, such as precision machinery, the report said.
Others named by the report as likely top advisers are finance expert Shih Jun-ji (施俊吉); Taiwan Institute of Economic Research vice president Kung Ming-hsin (龔明鑫); and Taiwan Think Tank chairman Chen Po-chih (陳博志).

You can’t drink beer whenever want, especially not in Sweden. This can be quite tough for beer lovers. That’s why Swedish agency Åkestam Holst teamed with beer brand Norrland Guld Ljus and translated the actual feeling of having a beer into the perfect sound of enjoying a beer. They simply made a beer for your ear. For real!
Not just by recording the beer sounds, but by using the sound technology ASMR, Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, the company created an enjoyment for your ears that actually equals the enjoyment your mouth experiences when drinking a beer.
The sensation begins ‘on the scalp’ before moving ‘down the spine’ to the base of the neck, sometimes spreading ‘to the back, arms and legs as intensity increases’, all triggered by the ASMR sound design.
The Ear Beer was launched on Spotify, Youtube and Apple Music, and even on limited edition vinyl. It also featured remixes by some of Europes most popular Djs like Lindstrœm, Kelly Lee Owens and Harald Bjork.
