Mission: Shades of Gray
Location: Planet's surface

Daniels sat, in the control room, of the biohazard response centre that had been set up, by his staff, in a relative hurry. It wasn't comfortable, Daniels noted, in thought, to have a cathoder inserted.

As the Zeta shift beamed in, Ensign Maddison Tyler nodded to Daniels. "Any word from Kyt? She seemed unusually tense, when she was brought up from the planet."

"Stran said he hadn't talked to her." One of the Security Ensigns noted, softly.

Daniels nodded. "Daniels to Calypso, Robert, can you give me a condition report on the Chief?"

"Roger that, Daniels. At last check, she was alright. Though, she was due to relieve me, here on the bridge, about five minutes ago. Let me find out where she's gotten off to." Robert said.

"That's not like her." Daniels muttered, softly. "At all."

"Quite right lad. That's odd. The computer says she's not on the ship. I asked it when she left, and it said about twenty minutes ago." Robert said. "I've got to go, Danny boy. I'm fairly certain Captain York, and Commander Raine will want to hear about this."

"Good call. I'll see about contacting her, here on the planet." Daniels said, with a nod.

"Daniels to Kyt." Daniels said, after the comm-link had closed.

The link did not open.

"Daniels to Kyt, repeat, Daniels to Kyt. Please respond." Daniels said, this time, in to the shuttle's comm system.

There was no response.

"Which teams are currently at the quarantine?" Daniels asked.

"Alpha, sir." Maddison said.

"So, Beta, and Gamma should be rested. What about Delta, and Omega?" Daniels asked.

"Sleeping." Maddison said.

"Great. Tell Delta, and Gamma, they're now cycling 3 8 hours. Beta, Zeta, Omega, get yourselves set up on a similar cycle. We've got to find Kyt. Again." Daniels said.

Maddison nodded. "I vote, Beta goes first. Omega's still sleeping, and my squad isn't ready to do anything beyond sleep."

"On with it, then." Daniels said, with a nod.

Maddison nodded. "Aye sir."

He stared at the shuttle's control console, and patiently waited. He knew it was coming. Someone in the command structure would be really pissed off, and wanting to know where Kyt went off to. He tied the shuttle in to the Security department's system, and called up the transporter logs.

And frowned. Two people. One of them was Kyt. The other was registered to a Lumina, from the planet. He forwarded that to the Security console, flagged to Robert's attention.

"Oh. Shi-...-shkabob" Daniels muttered, noting the presence of Maddison. "This is not going to end well. I just know it."
