Mission: Planet Savai
Location: Savai
Timeline: Concurrent

On

< Legitimate Island Savai >

The away team was up against it and despite his pride Will rushed back to the shuttle Beloit and called out on subspace priority channel to the Amandora for help.


[ Beloit shuttle to Amandora do you copy?]


"Commodore incoming transmission from Commander Raymond," Communications called

"On screen," Cyndi ordered.

" Commodore great to see you. We have a situation on Savai. There are two known intelligent beings the humanoids and what they call the Furs. The Furs are feline. We need to borrow Lt. Herculoid. I remember she has a back ground in communications. Is there a chance she could pilot a shuttle to Savai and help us with this communicate...." Will said as the signal failed.

"Get him back!" Cyndi ordered

"Commodore we're a little far out for a shuttle, but if Lieutenant Rivers and you are okay with it I can pilot her fighter out there," Tara said knowing Alesha would be fine with it.

"Go," Cyndi said "Let Lieutenant McTavish know your leaving the ship."


Tara nodded, sent a message to the science chief that she was leaving the ship, after speaking with Alesha, Tara changed into a flight suit, boarded the fighter and getting permission to leave. Set course for the planet, kicking in the warp drive the fighter streaked toward the planet. It took a couple hours and Planet Savai came up on long range sensors. Slowing to sub-light. Several minutes later the fighter broke through the upper atmosphere. Spotting something odd on sensors, Tara activated the shields and charged the weapons.
< Savai >

Will attempted again to reestablish a channel but the magnetic dust now blowing in the atmosphere was preventing the signal to get through.

He attempted a few other tricks but to no avail as he decided to return to the site and help with the survivors. Hopefully his message got through and Herculoid would be on her way.

In a matter of minutes the fighter touched down and Tara shut down the engines, shut down the systems on the fighter, opened the canopy, climbed out and tossed the helmet onto the seat and climbed down. Turning she set the alarms on the craft and set off to find the commander


A line of legitimates could not believe the size of the fighter.

" Are you also of the Star Fleet?"

Yes I'm with Starfleet, I'm Lieutenant Herculoid I was asked by Commander Raymond to come and help with communicating with those you call the furs."

" Your people are down there ." the little man pointed to the large cloud of red dust. " So much death. What a loss. I'll take you down too in this skiff." pointing to the bath looking floating thing.

"Let's go," Tara said.

A 911 style disaster beheld her attention as the craft descended.

" Your people are there." he pointed.

Mr Tor aided Dr Long with triage and over in the far left Lt Kees communed with others helping.

Will arrived right behind Herculoid. " You are a sight for sore eyes Lieutenant."

"What's the problem and how can I help?" Tara asked "I heard something about a lot of death."

" Communications Lieutenant. We need to teach these people how to build their own version of a universal translator. Without violating the prime directive.

"Tall order," Tara commented picking up a shard from the ground, pulling out her tri-coder she scanned it and looked at Will "These crystals will work. I can build one and teach them how to make them and how to use them. These shards have some dilethiam in them."

" MAGNETIC as well but the poles are the same as the magnetic core Lt Kees told me about. Would explain how the islands can float. We can speak to the Furs but the humanoids can't. It's like Earth in the 20th century." Will added.

"I'll take a look at the floating Islands too. But first let me work on a communications device," Tara said "I'll need to collect some more items but I can make it work."

Will was actually very glad his message had gotten through.

< Later that day >

The island had been canvassed and as the evening came several bon fires were built. Normally no humanoid would set foot on the surface with so many Furs afoot.

" Dearest friends and new friends. We saved a lot of people today. We even walked among the wild and was not afraid . Tomorrow is unknown." Viceroy speeches.


Will joined Tara's side. " This is why we need to help them. Earth has had it's shares of prejudices. I know we can fix this.'

"So has my world," Tara said as she continued to work on the communications device that would help both sides be able to speak to one another. After nearly thirty minutes later, Tara snapped the communicator together and looked at the commander "It's done, I made two of them so both sides can have one and see what they think."

" Now we have to have a conference with the Viceroy and whomever the Furs leader is. Set up a dialogue.

" Commander I can arrange that meeting," Mr Tor added as he was listening.

"I have the means to make more communications devices and to teach them how to make them, please let them know that as well," Tara said .

Will gathered the leaders and introduced Tara to the Viceroy .

" Sir this is our Chief of Science. She has designed a Savaian device using materials made here to allow you to communicate with the Furs. You will hear them as you do us. They also have this device and can speak to you. Now is the time for unity among your people's.." said Will.

"I can teach you to make them too," Tara said "And how to use them. All the materials are found here."

Viceroy was astonished and almost didn't believe what he was seeing.

" Can you understand me?" he addressed the Fur leader present.

The fur nodded "I can, she's a miracle worker. Now we can talk to you."

Will took Tara aside and communed.

" This is great Lieutenant. You are a God send. What is the Amandora's status? Have they found the Iwa Jima?"

"My minor is communications," Tara said "When I left the ship they'd not found the Iwo Jima. The ship is a little far out for a shuttle to maintain high warp so I brought Lieutenant Rivers personal fighter,"

"A fighter now that's my kind of ship. I was a fighter pilot also "

"It's not a Federation one. It's the one Rivers flew out in when she joined the ship. She's not had permission to fly it yet so when I asked her if I could fly it she was fine with it. When this is over I'll show it to you, it's up there," Tara said pointing to the floating land mass. It's able to cloak."

" Do tell me more...after this mission of course. Mr Tor round up our people. We need a huddle." Will replied.

"I'll show it to you when this is over," Tara said
