The warehouse was finally secured and the first load of supplies was due any minute now.
--------------------------
Kyt had gone on a patrol, outside the building, to install a special scanning network of turrets. She had thought she had heard someone following her, a few times. Every time she did a tricorder scan, it came back negative, save routine patrols. She shrugged, and went back to work.
--------------------------
Daniels was in the warehouse. He was watching the Doctors getting ready to help the patients. He was under orders to protect the Doctors, meaning he'd be actually present, during medical procedures. He tapped his Comm-badge. "Daniels to Kyt. All clear."
"Confirm." Came the woman's voice.
----------------------------
Serena reached the planet and was ready to dock some supplies as well so more Officers to assist the Doctor's on the planet. She quickly opened a channel to the surface, "This is Lt. Serena Jones of the USS Calypso. I request a landing on these cordinates." She waited for someone to replied.
"Request granted," stated an unknown voice.
"Thank you. Over and out," she stated before she closed the channel. She locked in corridants into the system and tapped on her comm to Kyt, "This is Lt. Jones. Letting you know were landing near the base in 2.2 mintues. With request of supplies and officers."
"Daniels present." The familiar voice of Daniel Daniels came through the comms. "Kyt is on patrol. You are clear to land on the roof. Corporal Shintaku will see to your landing needs. And, Serena, fly safe."
Serena tapped her Com again to end the conversation. She shook her head at what Daniels had said to her. When she reached the base she lowered the shuttle pod slowly and softly on to the roof. Once everything was secure and in place, she opened the doors. The officer's that were in the shuttle craft with her grabbed the supplies and headed out with them.
Once everyone was off she pressed her com again to Callen, "Warrent be safe."
"Yes sir," Callen replied, "Chief warrent officer Thompson out."
Serena smiled as she got the shuttle craft ready for departure. Once she was in a safe clearing in the air, she left orbit and headed back to the mother ship.
---------------------------
Daniels smiled, as he checked the tricorder, confirming the shuttle's descent pattern. He noticed something strange. Kyt's comm-badge hadn't moved, after installing the second to last scanner tower.
"Daniels to Kyt. We've still got one more scanner tower to set up." Daniels said, after the terminal closed the connection to Serena. There was no response.
"Daniels to Marine Captain Mangalia." Daniels said, instantly. "Can you contact the patrol outside, and get them to check on Kyt's position, please?"
"Copy Daniels, I'll get someone on it in a moment, I've got about fifteen other comms running at the same time." Leo cut that comm and began to listen again.
Chi was scanning when she heard the last communications and started to scan but she could not ID the Kyt at all after doing a second scan and finding nothing what the hell she said she was just here she saw her not but two min ago. "Daniels this is chi I have no visual contact which is strange I just saw her two min ago I'm counting to scan."
Trent hurried his pace as he left the building he was searching. He couldn't shake the feeling like he was being watched. "Trent to Mangalia. Captain, Marks and I are pretty close to her LKP. Request permission to head over."
"Go ahead Trent, keep low, and make sure no one gets hurt. Sergeant Melo, is there anything over in your section?" He was standing in the door and sighed. He had wanted to get out and look around. He had been over run by the Sergeant, and figured that was the way of being a CO. "Chi, keep the scans up, but don't forget to watch for incoming hostiles and civilians. I'm almost certain that we'll be getting run about pretty soon." Leo looked behind him and sighed. "Lance Corporal, we can start setting up the scanners. I don't want weapons coming in at all."
Kara tapped on her combadge. "Nothing here, Captain. But I'm on the wrong side of the building to see Lieutenant Tramira. There's been nothing unusual here, though."
Trent gave Kiren a nod and the two started jogging to Kyt's last known position. Their boots kicked up heavy plumes of dust as they ran, leaving a trail in their wake.
The two arrived only a few seconds later to where the 'Fleetie' was last seen. Trent looked around and could see no sign of her. He took in a full 360 of the area before calling out. "KYT?" He let out a loud whistle to accomodate his hail. "KYT? WHERE ARE YA?"
He frowned as he heard nothing in response. "Check the area." He said to the Marine with him.
The two started looking around the area around the more any clues. It didn't take Trent too long to locate something off. He cursed softly under his breath before tapping his comm badge. "Trent to Mangalia. Captain, I can see the footsteps of where the 'Fleetie' probably was. From the look of things there was a pretty good scuffle here. There is a set of drag marks in the dust here leading off to a building nearby. Your call, Sir." Trent's hand pulled his carbine forward and flipped off it's safety.
