= Bridge - Alassca -<br/><br/>Alassca forced herself to take a deep breath, a form of quick meditation used by some Deltans to calm themselves for concentration.  Nothing seemed to completely ease her to the touch of the XO on her back.  She supposed he meant it to be reassuring.  To her, it was tingly and warm, both sensations spreading through her to other regions of her body.<br/><br/>Just the same, she studied her scans.  The energy readings were consistent with background radiation and normal planetary seismology.  Slightly frustrated, she returned to the landing area and the villages there.  After a moment, something caught her eye, and she entered directions into her station for quick analysis.<br/><br/>"Commander," she offered, although he was still beside her, "take a look at this.  An aerial view of the Away Team arrival area shows a small cluster of five villages on the edge of a dense forest.  There is a clearing in the middle of the forest with another village there.  Now observe."  The computer drew a connecting line between the five outer villages and the center one.  It formed a perfect pentagon, with the middle one in the apex.  "These measurements are surprisingly accurate to have been a primitive coincidence," she analyzed.  "The center village is smaller than the surrounding ones, but with larger buildings.  It suggests something like a temple complex for use by the populations of the other villages.  There are no obvious paths between the villages through the forest, but according to Away Team reports, the Nymphans moved easily into the forest.  They apparently know where they are going."<br/><br/>(trying to move the plot a bit, hope I'm not stepping on any toes!)<br/>
