The phonetic isolation algorithm had done its work! The cipher decryption had been broken and soon tons of information was flowing into the ship's computer and revealed on multiple display stations around the Science Lab. The amount of new information coming in was staggering; their history, their decline and their hopes placed upon their so-called “Preservation Project”. A’kilees wondered if more information could be gathered in hopes of understanding the mission of these beings.
Beings…A name! A’kilees thought as he began to sift through the piles of information. We’ve found out how they separate themselves in their caste system and their mission but haven’t found a reference to what they call themselves. He began quickly searching through the LCARS system, pouring over the large amounts of information for any references whatsoever.
It was at this time that Commander Ameen arrived. He looked much more composed after the stressfully frantic incident with the cryopods down in Sickbay. A’kilees was glad to see his commanding officer in a better mood as he himself was having a look at the black box information with Amila and Gath. Soon, he caught everyone’s attention with a glance and addressed the group gathered around the various science consoles.
"Starfleet Command is currently breathing down our necks. In less than eight hours, a heavy security cruiser and a science ship are going to arrive to take custody of these people. I am not going to hand over twelve highly lethal, genetically engineered supersoldiers to another crew without knowing exactly how they react to waking up."
That doesn’t give us a lot of time. Got to find that information fast then.
"We proceed with the original plan, but we do it honestly. We will wake the designated 'Leader' in the Holodeck, and we will do it looking exactly as we are. We will use the Universal Translator, backed by Midshipman Cortez's musical frequencies, to show them we pulled them from the ice and saved them. If they become hostile, Lieutenant Gath's security protocols will contain them. If they are willing to listen, we might just prevent a bloodbath when Starfleet arrives."
Pragmatic and to the point, good. A’kilees concluded. While he was happy to have Starfleet assist with the current situation, there was a small feeling of disappointment upon reflection of their new orders. The Zephyr was heading elsewhere continuing their previous mission in uncharted space and wouldn’t get to witness the conclusion. It was quite the letdown in the saurian’s perspective, and probably would be for other members of the crew as well. However, despite the setback they had their duties and current standing orders and that’s what mattered. Taking a deep breath and quick scratch of his scaly chin, A’kilees went back to pouring over the alien data.
