Mission: Consult the Anomaly
Location: 10 forward and aft cargo hold

ON:

Mack: ( becomes aware of the gruel. Sniffs the air and look in the direction of the chef.)
"Really I seem to recall some away team provisions about the Martin. Care to accompany mister Genno?"

Genno: "I was just thinking about that. Let's examine that cargo hold."

Mack: =^="Commander, Mack here. Genno and myself are going to the cargo hold to seek other provisions."=^=

Andrews: =^="might as well figure out what is there."=^=

(they take the turbo lift down to cargo deck. The forward hold is empty. The aft hold has a large container.
There appear to be security seals on the access panels. Mack and Genno both try to release them with no success.
They try phasers on stun-level but those appear to just expose a force field.)

Mack: "I'm glad we didn't try to manually override. =^=Mack to Commander. the container in the aft cargo hold still has
security seals on it, and apparently a force field in addition to that."

Andrews: " computer. release aft cargo hold container security seals, authority andrews delta one five."

Computer: "authorization does not match security seals."

Andrews: "computer. who matches the security seals on the aft cargo hold container?"

Computer: "Fleet Flag rank authority is necessary to release the seals."

Andrews: "who is the nearest such authority?"

computer: "according to my latest information, admiral kenneth gillis is the nearest."

Andrews: "computer, locate admiral kenneth gillis."

Computer: "admiral kenneth gillis is current at starbase 40."

Andrews: (to self but aloud) "well, that would explain why we are going there."

Computer: "I do not understand that order."

Andrews: "computer, never mind my last."

Andrews: =^="Mister Mack. The container will be un-sealable at least until we get to starbase 40, so I
recommend you make other plans for food in the meantime."

Mack: (somewhat annoyed) =^="Understood sir... Computer. Locate nearest food replicator to my current location."=^=

Computer: "my data suggests there is a food replicator aboard the ISS Martin."

(Mack and Genno look at one another vacantly).

Genno: "computer, what else do you know about the contents of the cargo hold container?"

Computer: "information is incomplete, but it does appear to be a runabout-class warship, equipped with heavy weapons."

Genno: "why do you have information about the contents of a container that appears to be security-sealed and never opened since the USS Albion has been on assignment?"

computer: "insufficient data."

Genno: "computer. analyze your own dataset concerning the cargo hold container. what else can you tell us about it?"

Computer:" the dataset appears to have been accessed by proper authority six earth days ago, then re-sealed. During open status I was able to partly scan the contents,
then appear to have been given orders to erase some of the data."

Mack: "computer. where is the next closest food replicator.?"

Computer: "the next most accessible food replicator is in ten forward."

Mack: =^=(text only, your eyes only)"commander. possible intruder alert. mister Barf in ten forward."=^=

Mack:(to Genno) "I guess we might as well go back to ten forward and get something decent to eat."


OFF:
