AN: Hello everyone and thanks for the nice reviews! I have tried to correct the mistakes and I hope that you will understand better now.
And as usual I don't own anything or anyone
So here we go…
Chapter II
Haunted
"What are those lights coming from?" A crewman asked clearly confused trying to orient himself in the fallen dark.
"I don't see any lights?" Nama glanced around watching his surroundings closely.
Carrie bumped into another ensign as she thought about her superior officer.
"Oh Jenny I am sorry."
She put the flashlight under her chin and a made a face. All of the colour present in ensign Carries face drained as she watched her comrade.
"Come on Jolena, don't overdue!" Jenny said.
"Be...hind you." Jolena stammered she pointed a shaky finger at two bright yellow eyes.
"It's probably just a pet or something." Andy said coming up from behind.
"Sir, I don't find this funny anymore." Jolena was still shaky.
"Actually it is becoming late." Jenny admitted looking at Lt. Nama.
He nodded in agreement. "Okay let's go back."
"Sir?" The crewman said with an expression of chock on his face.
"What is it?"
"The compass is spinning."
"Then I suggest you scan for other human biosigns, Commander Tucker and Lt. Reed are probably still in the bar." Nama tried to calm him down.
"We don't know for sure how far away we are, lieutenant." The crewman reasoned.
"What was that?"
"Probably just the wind Jolena."
"I don't suppose those pair of eyes where there before." Jenny piped up from behind.
"Sir! There!"
"What?"
"There is a building straight ahead."
"Our scanners aren't picking up anything." Nama said unbelievingly.
"I know what I see lieutenant." The crewman still pointed in the direction of the complex.
"We really should leave!" Jolena said horrified when a hand with five claws reached out towards one of the crewmen.
At the bar
"Wooa! I didn't realise I was so thirsty before." Trip said emptying his fifth dark green drink.
"What I don't understand is why on earth we are on shore leave wearing our uniforms?" Malcolm questioned glancing down on his lieutenant pipes.
"Cause we where working and the captain went away with the Shuttlepod including our civilian clothes." Trip muttered as he rose from his chair.
"Is it time to leave already?" Travis said smiling.
"Mr. Mayweather the clock is 0100 hours." Trip teased in his usual southern accent.
"Four drinks and I am not even drunk." The lieutenant chuckled.
"You know that whatever you drank looked like something Phlox has in his shelf with toxic compounds." Trip gave him his best smile.
"And your green one didn't look like Vulcan blood on a bottle?" Malcolm bit back.
"Enough please!" Hoshi managed while exiting the bar.
"I don't think it contained any alcohol at all." Reed complained. Travis grabbed his scanner while Malcolm put a hand over his face.
"Hey Andy!" Trip waved his hand at his subordinate officer as he walked upon them.
Seeing the other lieutenants scraped uniform Reed immediately got his defences up.
"What happened to you lieutenant?" He said suspiciously.
"Oh nothing sir, I must have stumbled on something while we explored the area." He smiled at the Armoury officer and Chief of Security. Reed frowned at the remark.
Knowing his friend Trip could tell that Malcolm didn't believe a word of what the engineer had just told him.
"Have pleasant night Commander." Nama said walking away in the same direction that he came from.
"Maybe it was something in the drinks after all." Travis said staring at the lieutenant as he left.
"Engineers." Malcolm muttered.
"Not a word Lieutenant Reed!" Malcolm continued ignoring Trip's comment.
"Exploring in the woods he said, I am growing awfully curious."
Trip turned to Hoshi and Travis. "Are you coming?"
"Well, I suppose Phlox told me I needed more exercise." Travis still glanced in the direction of the engineering team.
"Yeah and I assume we have three more nights to rest on." Hoshi added.
What will they find? I know of course
