“Ah, you’ve noticed that. Well I guess there’s a bit of an explanation to be had.” A’kilees said as he looked up from the science console. “Saurian is a complex language with clicks and pops that is basically unintelligible to most people except perhaps a talented linguist. Allow me to demonstrate. Computer, disable the universal translator.”
[Boo-boop, Universal Translator disabled]
This will be fun. A’kilees giggled to himself and continued his explanation.
“Gruk-gwar clickclick graw gagrag gruak gru awrk graw. Grugu grauk click”

“The universal translator does a decent job translating” the saurian continued, his deep gravely voice back to speaking normally “but it has trouble with certain complex words which might be mistranslated into Federation standard so my language leaks through. It can be frustrating sometimes but people have been very understanding of me and I appreciate *gwar* them for their patience.”
Another series of tapping on the container caught the saurians' attention and he glanced over in the direction of the noise. Amila and Raven were signaling that they would be coming out and soon a faint crackling sound of cutting came from the inside.
“Let’s continue this chat later, alright? Hopefully they'll have something interesting to share.” A’kilees said as he hurriedly made his way around the science console towards the container door. Soon the door was released from its welds and A’kilees helped pull the door open and assisted both Raven and Amila out safely.

With the new information coming in from the Broken Arrow’s blackbox and being processed by the science team with the ambient sounds of the music of Ooqa in the Science Lab, A’kilees had made himself useful breaking down the faraday cage container with Raven. They carefully detached the joists holding the frame and panels together and placed them neatly away so they wouldn’t impede anyone's way.
Upon Amila’s new orders for Raven and himself, he was sure that he could remember enough of the details of the interior of the ship. He had only been inside for a while to extract the cryopods but he had taken a moment to look around and observe his surroundings to make sure of any structural issues, but that wasn’t the issue. The issue lay within making a shuttle appear as the vessel itself. While the shuttlecrafts aboard the Zephyr were roomy even for a large away team, it would be structurally impossible for the twelve large alien pods now occupying the Sickbay to fit inside. He followed Raven as she tailed Amila into her office, voicing her concerns as well. A'kilees was glad that they were both on the same wavelength when it came down to this set of orders.
“I have to concur with Ensign Singer, Lieutenant. Based on our information gathered it wouldn’t be an issue to make a mock interior of the vessel in a holodeck but to get a large enough vessel as Singer says would be weeks, months even *clickclick*, and to that end it’ll hardly be a deception afterwards. We might as well put those plans on hold for now and come up with a different strategy, but if those are your orders we’ll do our best to come up with a plan.”
