"Search party"

T'Kang and Counselor Reese had managed to search Blue 
levels 96 through 91.  The open, wide corridors of the 
Docking port sections made it relatively easy to search those 
decks.

D'Alaan 27 was a large facility.  Everyone knew that when 
they first arrived at the alien space station, but seeing it's 
size from a starship was one thing.  Walking it's corridors 
and searching her decks was a completely different matter.  
It gave the massive construction scale on a personal level 
unlike any statistical analyses could.

"Someone's approaching up ahead." Arianna noted pointing 
her disruptor.

T'Kang reaffirmed his grip upon his bat'leth while watching in 
the direction the Counselor had pointed out.  A pair of figures 
began to emerge from the shadows of the docking port.  It 
was Captain Mec and Lieutenant Jane Stanton.  They were 
carrying supplies to aide the search.

"Any luck so far T'Kang?"  Mec called out as he and Stanton 
approached.

T'Kang lowered his bat'leth.  With a soured expression the 
Klingon growled,  "No.  Not yet Captain."

Handing Counselor Reese a phaser and a tricorder, Captain 
Mec spoke.  "I've got Commander Morgan and Lieutenant 
Teril preparing to join the search.  They should be along 
shortly.   In the meantime, I've brought some tricorders to 
help speed things along."

Arianna took the tricorder and phaser from Captain Mec, 
then handed the Klingon disruptor pistol back to T'Kang.  
The sleek Federation hand weapon felt much more 
comfortable in her hand.  "We've checked decks 96 through 
91 Captain.   T'Kang checked the lower decks before I joined 
him.  So far there has been no sign of any of the missing 
crew members that disappeared."

"Well, we still have a lot more decks to go through.  If they 
are here on the station, we will find them Counselor."  Mec 
stated checking the setting on his phaser.

T'Kang took the disruptor and returned it to the holster on his 
Klingon uniform.  He continued to hold his bat'leth in his 
hands.

"This deck is all clear Captain."  Lieutenant Stanton stated 
while adjusting her tricorder and viewing the readout.  "I 
suggest we move on to the next level to continue the 
search."

Mec nodded glancing at Mister T'Kang.  The Klingon let out 
a grunt as acknowledgement as the group of four officers 
trotted off to take the lift to the next level.
