BR> I'm back from vacation and back to writing. Her is the fifth chapter. I know it's mega short, but I will post the 6th later tonight. That will be a bit longer.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of Star Trek or it's characters, ships or etc..( I wish I did)!

File, Greenary, and a strange Device

Gibbons checked out the small building.

" Do you see anything in that one Greg?" Benon asked.

" No, it seems like your routine storage place. Their is food, but not enough to feed many."

" Well, that might be a question worth answering."

" What question, Paul?"

" Are these life forms really here to start a new settlement or, ..."

" Or what?"

" If the Romulans set a trap for the Federation."

" But this is Federation airspace, They would break the treaty if they crossed it."

" Don't you see? It is not far away from the border they could sneak in, and then sneak back out without noticing."

" Oh!"

Benon and Gibbons looked around the area some more. Benon took a look in a dark room in one of the smaller buildings. He turned the lights on and saw an old desk with a computer fixated on it. He went to check out.

Bones entered the dome building with his phaser in one hand. The room was dark. He walked further in and the lights came on by themselves. He saw that this place was a greenary.

" Amazing!" He said.

He put his phaser away and walked along the green pathes of flora and trees and brush. He made his way through and opened another door. He saw on the tables were cases. He looked on the lables and saw that they contained records. He went and opened one of the cases that labeled top priority. He browsed through the papers when he heard a noise. He looked up.

" Look at it Spock!" Kirk replied. He scanned the tricorder.

" Well, this must be the device that is supporting life. " It is believed to be called a Elthora."

" Yes, " Kirk said.

The Elthora had two glassy glistened sides and two others as well. In the middle showed a bright blue light. It was placed in a connectional tube. That was fed through glass tubes to all the buildings and there was one that led straight up into the atmosphere.

" I don't understand."

" Don't understand what Captain?"

"If our scanners read more life forms. Where are they?"
