2. Chapter 2

Alone

Picard: "Do what you can to stop it!"

Crusher: "I need the equipment in my lab to even stand a chance of stopping this…whatever it is! Transporter one, three to sick bay."

Picard: "I want security on that thing until we know what it is!"

Warf: "Sir, I transported up with Doctor Crusher and am commencing with the security team as we speak."

Data: "Captain, permission to observe this life form as it is de-crystalized. I believe My android function will find more data to this that the tricords."

Picard: "granted"

Data: "Thank you Sir." (Data leaves the bridge and makes his way towards sick bay. As he enters he sees the creature lying on the table having crystal carved off. Data stayed silent in the corner with the security officers. After about an hour of work the crystal ceased growing and began falling off the being. The sole survivor of a ruined planet. From the looks of his body figure, in human terms, Data concluded it was male.)

Crusher: "What is this?"

Data: "What is it Doctor?" (Data moved closer to see what she spoke of. And as he got a closer look he realized the males face was covered by what seemed to be a crimson red mask with a gem in the forehead. The only mark besides the gem on the otherwise smooth surface was the one slit where on a human eyes would be.)

Crusher: "It looks like this mask is part of his face…" (Crusher paused as she heard what sounded like a voice coming from the creature on the table…)

Male: "…Failed….Failed them…"

Crusher: "Failed who?"

Male: "...Everyone..."
