Lt. Zena Quetan Tomonaga Continuing from "The Hard Way" Bravo team set off to Engineering following the Captain's instructions, Shortly afterwards Alpha left the Bridge, leaving just Charlie still there. Zena approached the team "Well until Bravo can regain access to the computer we can't look at anything in the way of logs to explain what happened here, if there is even anything to tell in them...So I guess we're going to have to do this this old fashioned way and sweep the ship from room to room noting anything suspicious, Starting on the Bridge and Captain's Ready Room seems a good place to start" The officers nodded in agreement, then spread out around the bridge beginning to search. Zena headed off into the direction of the ready room, her flash light leading the way, the door was slightly ajar, she pushed her hands through the gap and with a little force it opened. she extended her arm and shone the beam of light onto the desk, it was neat, a photo frame sat in the right hand corner, Zena walked round to the other side of the desk and pulled the chair out of the way, the picture was of the Captain and his Senior Crew members.

Just as she began to head back out to the bridge she noticed a very small mound of what looked like dust in the corner of the room. She scanned it with the tricorder but the substance remained unidentified. Taking out a container she took a small sample for inspection later. She reappeared on the Bridge "Anything?"
