"Oh Crikey" A Faldek/Kansas/Mizu Joint Log.

[LtCdrFaldek 0]

Faldek peeks around the trees, and sees one of the flying beasts at the tree line. He leans over and aims, hits the fire button, and nothing happens. He looks at his type 2 phaser, having fired it so many times for the longer periods seems to have depleted his power cell. "Oh no... my phaser's dead!" Faldek looks across the path over at Kansas and chucks his phaser at one of the creatures.

Kansas gets up as quckly as she can, and runs where Faldek had gone.She did not know she was actually heading away from Faldek.

Faldek hits his comm badge and calls the Chimera, "Computer, stop the attack. Triangulate my position with the communication frequency and get about half a meter above the surface, open the starboard door, and lower shields to allow entry. Confirm." "Confirmed, tactical status on standby, starting descent" replies the feminine voice.

Kanasas hears the big bird things above her, she glances back and up towards the sky.

"It's about time." Faldek jumps up and runs diagonally towards the descending craft. A Lintu jumps towards him and snaps, Faldek drops into a roll and jumps into the open door of the Chimera. "Emergency ascend, close the door, raise shields!" "Acknowledged." The door closes, the shields go up, and Faldek quickly sits at the helm.

She ducks under brush, “ This was a stupid idea!”

Faldek routes all systems to his console. "Chimera to Kenickie, please respond." Faldek brings the runabout around, and starts targetting with pulse and beam phasers.

"Chimera, Kenickie here..what?" She asked in a hush.

"Thank God. Look I've got these guys, and I doubt they'll make it out of here alive. Are you good on the ground or would you like a lift?" Faldek fires pulse cannons at a Lintu in the air and blows holes through both of its wings and then hits it in the torso with a beam. He watches it fall to the ground.

Kansas spots a bird thing flying down towards her, and makes a run for it.

Faldek looks at his sensor readout, spotting what looks to be 5 more Lintu in the area. "Looks like there's about 5 left."

Kansas runs faster, hearing it closing in on her, she feels herself being pulled up in it's claws and she can see the ground getting farther from her feet.

Faldek spots a Lintu dive bombing towards the treeline, but sees another closer off the starboard bow. Then he spots the lintu previously mentioned with something black, grey and gold in it's claws. "Oh no..." he quickly switches targets and begins firing with the beam phasers at the birds head, watching it sever.

Kansas feels the Lintu loose it's grip and drop her, she hits the deck and as that happens she feels half of it's body land on her.

"This is enough playing around." Faldek turns starboard and locks onto one Lintu dead ahead, and another off the port side, and fires beam phasers to port and the pulse phasers ahead. He hits both Lintu simultaneously watching them both drop from the sky. "Yes!" Kansas lies still, not wanting to be grabbed by anything else. She looks up and around, pushing the Lintu off of her slowly, not wanting to make a lot of movement. He brings the Chimera about, heading for the last two. They were both on the ground, munching on their dead comrades. "Oh caught in the act..." Faldek targets them with just pulse phaser canons and lets loose a volly of about 15 blasts completely killing and rittling them with big smoking holes. Faldek opens the comm back up, "Kansas, are you ok? It's clear to come out, I'm not reading any more Lintu Sal in the area."

Kansas gets up slowly, moving away from the Lintu. She hits her comm badge, "I think I am, I fell pretty hard." Kansas holds her side tightly, she keeps moving, even though she is out of breath.

"Roger that. I'm landing in about 1 minute. Get over here if you can so I can scan you." Faldek brings the Chimera back into the clearing and lands, dropping shields and opening the starboard side door.

Kansas glances up and walks slowly to where the Chimera is headed. She starts walking a little bit slower as tha pain is taking her breath away. The Chimera sets down softly. Faldek runs to the back and grabs out a medical tricorder. He goes back up front and greets Kansas. "Come in and sit down here in the conference area, I need to scan you."

Kansas climbs in and takes a seat, “they moved quicker then I thought they would.” She still seems to be out of breath.

He scans Kansas slowly, looking intently at the report. "You're alive. Looks like you've got a few bruised ribs, and some cuts and scrapes. Nothing a dermal regenerator and a nice hypo shot can't cure."

“Great! How much longer until we head back up?” Kansas asks questioningly.

Faldek gets up to the medkit and grabs out the hypo and a dermal regenerator. "You'll be heading back up in about 5 minutes. I'm staying here, going to tractor the Cerberus back on her belly and see if there's anything wrong with it."

Kansas grabs a water bottle and takes a sip, then stops Faldek. “I would reather a Doctor fix me up, if you don't mind.”

He stops. "I have basic medical training. You aren't leaving until you get this basic care. That's an order."

“Basic... the ribs are more then basic... I can handle it, I'll take the hypo, then head back to the cave.” She stands up slowly.

"How about I give you the hypo and the dermal regnerator and you can do it yourself. I know you have atleast the same basic training I have."

“I do, and I know that I need a doctor to do it. Hypo me, then I will head back, you can play with the shuttles.” Kansas counters.

Faldek hypos her. "You're lucky that I respect you, otherwise I'd sedate you for disobeying my orders." Hands her a fresh power cell and wrist light. "Let them know what happened and what my plans are. I'm going to contact the Manticore and give them a status report."

Kansas nods and clips the light and power cell on her belt. “Alright, lets hope the team is ready to leave when I get back.”

"Keep an eye peeled. Take it slow, don't need you hurting anything else." Hands her the pain killer hypo spray, "Just in case."

She nods, “Alright, see you back at the cave.” Kansas exits the ship and heads back the way they came.

Faldek goes to the main console and hits the comm, “Manticore, this is Faldek on the Chimera, come in."

“Bridge. Keb here. What's going on down there?” Mizu answers.

“Commander Mizu, I was alerted by the Qin Security Forces that Chimera and Cerberus were under attack by the big bird like creatures. Kansas and myself made it back, and stopped the attack."

"Is everyone all right?" she queries.

"Kansas was picked up by a Lintu Sal, thats one of them birds I previously mentioned, and I managed to get aboard Chimera and save her. We killed about 11 of them. Cerberus is... damaged. Kansas is heading back to the mountain and I am going to try and repair if needed the Cerberus."

"Commander Farrington and Dr. Lowen are aboard Manticore, and Krell is helping me synchronise our sensors. When we are finished, we may be able to beam down a repair crew. Is that necessary?” Mizu askes.

"Perhaps, I will give you an update when I know more. Chimera out." Faldek hits the button as he hears her final reply.

"Acknowledged. Manticore out." Mizu hits the button on the console ending her transmission.
