Chapter Two
The captain decided that Commander Barker, Lieutenant Gatea and Lieutenant P'naar the ships squat Tellarite security chief would take a shuttle to the surface where they would meet the council and discuss the disappearance of the Zeus.
As they flew in lieutenant P'naar took out an enhancement patch and placed it under his uniform, the commander looked at him and reminded him that they weren't supposed to be used while on duty, the lieutenant just folded his arms and said "I get the job done don't I." As they landed they were met by three armed Arction men who took them to the council.
The Arction council told the commander that when the Zeus came, they had asked about an anomalous area near Arction, they had said they didn't know anything other than they could not enter the area.
"The Zeus left after that to explore the anomaly" said one of the council members.
The commander thanked the council and asked for the coordinates, they handed over a data chip saying all the information was on it.
Once they left they went back to the shuttle to contact the captain in private, he requested Lieutenant P'naar return to the ship immediately so he used the transporter and beamed up to the ship.
Lieutenant Gatea requested permission to talk to the government scientists and the captain agreed it would be a good idea, however he recommended that they equip phaser pistols and ordered the commander to go with her.
They walked towards the science building thinking about what to ask and what information would be useful.
The scientists had no more information than the council but in a corner they found a data rod with a video log regarding the anomaly and a message from the head scientist and council of the time saying anyone asking about it must be contained.
