NARRATIVE: Parts of the report deemed irrelevant to the course of events or that require technical explanations best left to engineers and science officers have been omitted from this report.
This officer was assigned to assist in the exploration of an amusement park discovered on a moon. Given this officer's expertise, the focus remained on potential security countermeasures and other potential hazards.
The Endeavour crew remained intent on restoring power to the facility incrementally. I had some concerns, but I am not an engineer and I left technical hazards to the engineers.
As we began to explore the 'restricted section', believed to be what would be staff-only for the establishment, this officer and T'Lal made our way to the Curator's office. Lieutenant T'Lal hypothesized from the data stored on the terminal that the planets in the system were destroyed and turned into the asteroid field. Further examination is advisable.
I found what I recognized to be green blood on the desk. Seeing it to be fresh, I called Commander Samaras into the room. Everyone but the Commander arrived - this will be explained in a moment. We heard screams, and an Endeavour crewman was yelling about creatures eating people. I recommended to Captain Nimitz that the priority should be to return to the transporter area and warn the Endeavour - along with requesting reinforcements. Only that area had working transporters and communications, as they were unavailable in the rest of the facility - including where we were.
Nimitz put Lieutenants T'Lal and Shinwa under my command, while he took the others to rescue some of the crew and hunt down the creatures that were loose. We had no contact after that.
As I moved the team towards our starting location, we discovered another Endeavour crewman missing his entire lower half of his body. At this moment, I instructed my team to set phasers to the maximum setting due to the size and power of whatever creature was capable of eating half a person.
As we moved to the door that lead to the hub area where we came in from, we discovered it was damaged beyond repair. I ordered Lieutenant Shinwa to get the door open regardless of the obstacle. I then felt more blood drip onto my face. Shining my phaser's flashlight at the ceiling, I saw a creature move in to eliminate me. I dodged and fired at it and soon a second one arrived.
Marking a target for fire to be focused, the three of us managed to keep the creatures occupied. I ordered Lieutenant Shinwa to return to the door and utilize any means necessary while we covered him. Lieutenant T'Lal took a considerable hit to the ribs, while all I lost was the sleeve of my uniform. The door was blown open and on the other side were CAPT Bishop, CMDR Samaras, and the MACO division combating other creatures. They arrived to reinforce our position and we were ordered to exfiltrate from the facility.
This officer will leave whatever happened to Captain Nimitz's team up to those who have firsthand knowledge.
RECOMMENDATION: Goes to show that you can never be too careful. I recommend a clean sweep of the entire facility, including utility hatches and ventilation. I don't give praise often, but Lieutenants T'Lal and Shinwa did their job in a scary situation and they did it well. I'd recommend some sort of commendation.
OOC: The Dice Gods cloud everything. An impossibility not to lose a limb, the future holds.
Was a lot of fun. Thanks to Sam for GMing. RIP Nimitz's and Holt's limbs. Let me know if I missed anything/anyone.
