<strong>- Kroken, Aria, Holodeck-</strong><br/><br/>Purring softly as Aria held her close, letting her come down off her orgasm, still fiddling and trying to undo Aria's uniform top.  Aria laid her down on the soft grass gently kissing her and nibbling gently on her lip. Liara giggled a little, being caught off guard by the sudden pinch on her lip, causing her to gasp out of an odd mix of pain and pleasure. Aria slowly worked her way down Liara's body, the pleasure so intense she closed her eyes as Aria's hands began to move around her hot sensitive skin.  She moaned lightly when Aria's hand slid over the inside of her thigh.  The anticipation of the next touch against her wet lips was killing Liara but it came suddenly mixed with a light tug on the chain attached to her clit causing an intense sensation of excitement to rush through her, her back arched at the wave of pleasure coursing through her.<br/><br/>Liara moaned loudly, her body writhing in pleasure as Aria's hand slowly started to massage her lips and rub her clit with her palm.  Small pulses of excitement ran up her body every time her hand moved in one direction or another, or her fingers brushed a lip.  Aria's finger slowly started to slip inside her lips and lightly tease her.  Liara's body acted instinctively, moving with each motion trying to change the angle to push her finger further inside.  Liara reached up and started massaging a breast, her breathing began to come faster.  Her other hand reached up to grab Aria's neck, to pull her close, Liara's lips beckoned to be kissed.  In between pulses of pleasure, Liara looked down at Aria, catching her glance and smiling before her head dropped back to the ground and her moaning continued.<br/><br/><strong>-Alassca, Grayn, Pracoos - Main Bridge-</strong><br/><br/>Xander walked back onto the bridge with Dr Pracoos.<strong>"Thank you Dr.  It's not much but it's more than we had before."</strong>Walking over to Alassca, looking at the readings.<strong>"Good work Alassaca.</strong>Xander placed an approving hand on her shoulder as he smiled at her.<strong>"Sensor dampeners are definitely not something we picked up on the planet.  Mr Clay, they are blocking our sensors, but are they blocking our transporters?"</strong>Walking over to the back side of the console, Xander checked the Ops officers readings.  The young man ran his fingers over a number of buttons and typed in a few calculations into the computer.<br/><strong>"Yes sir, the closest I can get you is the inside of the Temple.  I'm not showing anything that looks like a underground passage or anything.</strong>Xander stared at the display of the pentagon village design on the screen.<br/><strong>"Sick bay to Grayn"</strong>Touching the communicator on his chest<br/><strong>"Go ahead Sick Bay"</strong><br/><strong>"Lieutenant Firlawan is dead sir.  It appears she was injected or implanted with some sort of spore on the planet which tried to enter her reproductive system.  Her body couldn't handle whatever it was trying to do to it and failed."</strong>Xander blinked at the thought.  Internally very shaken by the events that have been taking place, he knew his crew had to see him as the strong leader, especially at this  point.  He steadied himself mentally, hoping that his body had not physically reacted the way his mind had.<br/><strong>"Understood Sick Bay, I want the scans that the Doctor took of the away team before we beamed back to the ship re-checked for any more of these spores"</strong><br/><br/><strong>-Pakod, Engineering Team - Cargo Bay Two-</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Sir"</strong>A young Ensign with a tricorder who had been doing tests on the pieces of the recovered ship hull came running up while Commander Pakod was talking to another technician.<strong>"Our readings are showing that these ships are very old and most trace elements have been decayed beyond recognition, but our readings indicate that the ships hulls didn't decay to the state they are now, they were stripped.  There are no signs of structural damage.  It's hard to tell from the small pieces we recovered, but it looks like the ships landed and then were dismantled for parts."</strong>
