Vulcan and Human Keepsake
Chapter 25th
Captain Travis didn't wait long to receive another communications from the surface of the planet. Lt. Mattews advised the captain that it was President Sone of the Capital city Demares. "Put him on Lt. Mattews." Captain Travis ordered with sitting in his chair waiting for President Sone to speak.
"Captain Travis, your arrival came at a time of great trouble for our planet and population. Does your Starfleet vessels have any physicians that might be able to figure out how to save us from total destruction?" He begged with his voice sounding scared.
"We do President Sone. However we need to know about the Xindi that was kidnapped and brought to this solar system." Captain Travis needed to be stern with the question without upsetting the president.
"I am sorry to say our doctors needed their cells and organs to be placed into test subjects to see on whether our race can be saved. However I received word from the medical complex that the test subjects have died as well. We don't know what killed them with Doctor Elin and others to do autopsies on them."
"This might sound like a strange request President Sone. I would like to have our doctors attend the autopsies to work with your Doctor Elin to find out the cause. I will be sending down a landing party as well to attend as well to interact with your population. Unless this is a problem President Sone?" Captain Travis said calmly with his entire bridge crew were waiting for the shoe to drop with the request.
"Very well Captain. I will give you the coordinates of the medical complex and advise Doctor Elin to meet you at the beam down. However the military will be escorting your doctors and landing party from straying as part of your protection." He stated with honestly with the request.
"I completely understand President Zone. When do you want them to beam down to the coordinates?" Captain Travis asked.
"Have your people to beam down in three hours, I will contact the military to make sure their is going to be a reception to meet them. I just hope our people and yours will be able to settle things for when it comes to our planet's survival. Transmission over and out." The communications ended with Captain Travis needing to contact the Keepsake and Doctor Phlox.

An hour later on board the Keepsake...
Captain Archer called together his bridge crew, Commander Tucker, Science Officer T'Pol and Doctor Phlox in sickbay, leaving the bridge with replacements.
Commander Tucker was anxious to find out what was going on. Since there wasn't any word on whether they were going to be altered. A moment later Captain Archer with his communications officer Suzanne Moore and Hoshi would be keeping tabs of the minutes.
"Alright everyone here is the latest. We have the go ahead to beam down to the medical complex to examined the three dead Xindi and those subjects dying earlier with the cells and organs having been rejected. Doctor Phlox and your medical team will be working with the doctors at the complex to figure out the cause and to come up with cure." He stated calmly the best he could watching the reaction of his officers especially T'Pol.
"Sir, what are we to be doing since we were supposed to go undercover being altered?" Commander Tucker asked the question ahead of the science officer and his bond mate.
"You will investigate and ask questions with the population and military on how we can go about saving their race and planet." Archer said with a calm, evenly tone.
"Captain, I am a science officer for the Keepsake, saving these Zoolanders and planet is a tall order to follow. Especially when we have no idea why in the first place they had used the Guardian of Forever." She exclaimed with turning to face her captain with her statement.
"You, Trip and the rest of the landing party will beam down in two hours meeting up with Doctor Elin and other officials. So I suggest all of you behave on the planet without starting trouble." Captain Archer insisted with knowing the reaction he had gotten from his senior staff. "Dismissed!" He ordered.

Sickbay for the next hour was a whirlwind of activity with Doctor Phlox and his staff putting together the necessary equipment to beam down to the planet surface of Zoolander One. Doctor Phlox was checking his computer terminal when the information he asked for came in with Communications officer Hoshi brought it into sickbay.
"Phlox, I have a private communications for you from Doctor Elin. He insisted!" She handed him the communications disk for the doctor to take a look at once Hoshi leaves to head back to the bridge.
"Thanks Hoshi." He watched her walk back out of sickbay. He walked over to his terminal to place the disk in to begin playing the communications.
"Hello, Doctor Phlox, I am was the one that contacted Starfleet about what has been going on our planet. I was approached a year ago when I had traveled to Earth undercover to speak with your officials. However I did give the order for a team of Zoolanders to travel back into time to see if the Xindi would be able to save us. The plan backfired with the test subjects dying. Now we need your help Doctor Phlox. It would seem with the autopsies that was perform was some type of radiation is what killed the subjects. I do hope you and your medical staff will be able to figure it out."
This is when the screen went blank and Doctor Phlox needing to speak with Captain Archer.
