The away team of six beamed down onto the first planet. At first fglance, it was very similar to Earth, however, on closer inspection, the foliage was a great deal different. The sky itself was also had a tint of yellow to it. Paul trudged off toward some plants, tri-corder poised to scan some near by plants.
"Not so fast Mr. Deveraux" called Andersen quickly catching him up.
"Ohh Pleaze! Where am I gonna go ah?"
"Captain's orders were to keep you under my eye at all times."
"Captainz orderz my ass! E cannot tell me what to do down ere. I'll scan what ever i like!"
Andersen backed off a bit and left him scannign some plants as he ordered the rest of the away team off in twos to explore the sorrounding area. He of course stayed with Paul.
"Anderzen, watch me any clozer and we may as well be ziameze twins!"
"Sorry, Paul... Captain's..."
"Captain, Captain... zhats all I bloody ear is Captain zhis and Captain zhat. Give it a rezt will ya?"
"Jeez, whats up your ass?"
"You it would zeem!"
"Look" said Andersen grabbing Paul by the throat. "You got a serious attitude problem, and I'm not gonna stand here and take this kind of crap from you." Paul just looked down ints Andersens eyes and calmly removed his hand from his throat.
"Don't touch me" Paul said walking off again down a slope toward a large lake.
"Deveraux, your lucky to be here at all after the stunt you pulled back on B'aku!" Paul glared back at Andersen. "Just take your readings and we can get back to the ship."
Jeez, first zhat jerk Pol, I sought I ad drove im off. Now e's been replaced by anozher jerk!
Paul came to the waters edge and scanned the sorrounding area. "Zhere zeemz to be adequate plant life for a colony to be eztablished. Zhe atmozphere is 30% Oxygen, 2% Carbon Dioxide, 58% Nitrogen and 10% Helium, Hydrogen and ozher natural atmozpheric gassez. Scans from zhe zhip indicate, vast water zupplies az well az a wide variety of eco syztems throughout zhe planet. I would say zhis would be an excellent planet for colinization."
"Good, so we can head back and make our report to the Captain?"
"No" Paul said as his tricorder began bleeping. "I iz picking up a structure of zome zort about alf a mile to zhe west."
"Damn it Deveraux! We're not hear for sight seeing, we need to make a report to the Captain!" he called after Paul as he hurried off toward the structure.
"Ey! Zhe Captain wantz uz to ave a complete report no? Well, if we are to make a complete report, zhen we need to survey zhat structure."
Andersen reluctantly agreed and followed Deverauxs swift pace almost at a jog to keep up. He tapped his commbadge as they went. "Andersen to Arizona, Deveraux has picked up some sor tof structure, we are heading to investigate it."
[...................] The comm channel just threw back static
"I can't contact the Arizona" stated Andersen
"Ahh, It'z probably jut zhe radiation I'm picking up in zhe atmosphere" said Paul looking over his tricorder. "I'll fix zhe communicatorz later" Really, there was no radiation, Paul had activated a comunications jammer he had taken with him.
"What if a member of the away team needs to contact us?"
"You sink zhey would be able to contact you wisout me aving modified zheir communicators? Relax.. Everysing will be fine mon amis."
"Look Deveraux, I'm sick of your disrespectful attitude!"
"And I'm sick of you kissing zhe Captains ass!"
"Deveraux! DEVERAUX!" called Andersen as Paul headed into some undergrowth. "Damn him!" he said as he gave chase.
Andersen caught up with Paul as they came into a large clearing. He found Paul staring up at a huge Pyramid like structure made of stone. Paul was running scans of it on his tri-corder.
"What is this?" asked Andersen in awe.
"You sink I know zhat?" retorted Paul. "Jeez, let me run some annalysis why don't you!" Paul continued looking round. Andersen was becoming agitated. "I'm going in" said Paul heading toward the entrance.
"No your not!"
"You wanna try an ztop me?" said Paul
Paul walked into the large structure while Andersen remained outside. As soon as Paul had gone inside, Andersens comm badge became alive with acticity.
[Lieutenant respond?]
[Come in sir]
[Mr. Andersen, status?]
"I'm here" said Andersen tapping his badge. "Captain, Deveraux won't follow orders and has gone inside a large stone pyramid. Request that you lock on a transporter and beam him back to the ship."
[We can't get a lock John. Somethings interfering with the lock.]
"Must be the radiation in the atmosphere again."
[We're not picking up any radiation up here Lieutenant]
"Lying son of a bitch!" said Andersen running into the pyramid after Paul.
Inside, Paul had activated a small transport inhibitor incase the stone walls cancelled the effects of his communications jammer. He had something for just about any situation in his "bag of tricks". He was in a large chamber full of hyroglyphics and paintings when Andersen found him. He was looking over a section on the wall trying to decipher some.
"Deveraux, I don't know what the hell your playing at, but your coming with me now!" Andersen said.
"Just a few minutes more mon amis"
"No!" John raised his phaser, set it to stun and fired at Paul sending him to the ground. He walked over, worrying slightly after turning a weapon on a fellow Starfleet officer, however, he didn't see that there was any other choice. He found the transporter inhibitor, turned it off and contacted the Arizona. The two of them beamed back aboard the ship.
