Personal Log: Eagle,James,T., Lt.,Tactical Officer,U.S.S. Arcadia

 

We have very little time left,And the clock is counting down as I am making this log. The away team has been lost to sensor and transport lock apparently caused by a dampening field that suddenly appeared where none was present before at last required check in by the team.

 

The data acquired from the Nevs,Inechie,as well as archival library references combined with the data translated and discovered by the planet side Archeologist in charge of the dig has been combined in an attempt to identify and validate both parties claims as to rights of possession to the planet. A stumbling block had been thrown into the equation when a new discovery was literally unearthed..resulting in a new subterranean cavern being discovered containing the ruins of an ancient civilization.

 

The new data actually does suggest the Inechie and the Nevulsians as having a common background. This may actually mean one has no better right to lay claim to the planet than the opposing party. The data does point out at one time both societies did in fact co exist on the surface. The data and historical records as well as some ancient artifacts discovered point to one of the races actually placing into or using the other race as slaves to be used for whatever purpose they deemed appropriate.

 

The data gathered does suggest there may have been an uprising,or out and out civil war between the two parties...the end resulting in one of them being forced into exile from the planet, This would seem to authenticate what the Inechie Grand Commander had stated in comm with our Captain. I am under the impression the connection may go back even further, However if history has taught us anything history is usually written by the winner in a conflict.

 

The clock is winding down to confrontation between the two species,Our away team is considered in danger at this time,a full security rescue team is standing by to beam down to the planet to a location just outside the dampening field,Data is being gone over carefully to find a way to get the two parties to resolve this situation peacefully.

 

There is one fact still remaining...Neither party is a member of the UFP,though the Nevulz have been on friendly terms with the Federation, It is not a member and therein lies the conflict as it pertains to the Prime Directive. I do have a suggestion to our Commanding officer...But first I need to ask him if he has ever played poker. Computer end log;...Beep.. :D
