The Chief was left to scan, he like scan, it was ultimately much better than having some creature suck out his lymphatic juices through a straw. The whole room was giving off a strange energy signature, very similar to what they had found on the hull paneling that had been removed during the attack. It couldn't be a coincidence.

"Computer, turn on Stoun playlist number three."

The computer beeped as loud industrial sounding music came across the speakers. The scan continued.

Jon leaned back as the computer continued its routines. He watched the levels ebb and flow, he watched the vitals of the away team. Everything looked good. Nothing to be alarmed about until, it wasn't.

The first indication that something was wrong was there was a massive spike in energy flow, the safeties tripped before the sensors had blown. After Stoun got everything back online he could see the vital signs of the away team had spiked. The transporters were still locked, but it was getting interference from the energy patterns in the room.

"Jon to away team, anything?" Static. "Jon to anyone!" Static.

The engineer patched into the doctors comm badge and heard the commotion, and decided to act. Stoun stood up, leaving the music playing and grabbed his engineer kit and a phaser rifle. He didn't intend to get his organs sucked out without a fight.

"Computer, put shuttle in defensive mode, keep a lock on me and the team at all times."

He exited the shuttle and headed towards where the crew should be.
