Editing The Sevant Murders (section)

===On the Planet, Sevant and Nishi Depart in search of missing Officers===
'''''Authors Note: The following Posts don't directly relate, expect to explain later why Sevant and Nishi are away from the rest of the away team. The mission we were in was 'Burial Grounds', the same mission that kicked off our Civil War. They were cut off from the Nimitz and off searching for Lieutenant [[Falthgood]] and Ensign [[Oynx]], who had departed for a ancient Alien Crystal Tower'''''

"We leave in two minutes, either you are a security guard hand-picked by you. Make your decision now, we have little time I fear." 
 
The Security Chief smiled, then nodded after a few moments. He addressed a young security officer, and said  "Sandersen, right?" The woman nodded.  "Inform the security personal to keep treating the wounded, and to take orders from the Marines. And...tell them to be careful."
 
The Chief turned back to Sevant, "Alright, lets go"

Sevant turned to Lee, "Rifles."

The Marine reached back and pulled a Type III off his back, and tossed it over. Sevant caught it, just as another unnamed marine handed over their own rifle to Nakamura. The Vulcan checked the charge on the weapon, set it to the highest stun, and nodded with satisfaction. 

(reply Nishi, any)

Sevant pointed off in the direction of a Crystal tower. "They were reported moving in that direction, We are going to make that tower are target, it seems logical they would move for it, our tricorders can find nothing else of note in that direction."

(reply Nishi)

Sevant nodded, and took off at a job in the direction they were going.
The faster the found their two missing crewmembers, the better off they would be.

Sevant came to a halt, put the rifle against his shoulder and looked around. The forest was unnaturally quiet, no insects or animals were to be heard, and there was no breeze to speak of to rustle leaves and branches. 

He reached up and tapped his badge, "Sevant to Rivers."  He waited a few seconds, "Sevant to anyone in Base camp, respond."

Nothing.

"We are officially out of communication," he said as he reached around and pulled out his tricorder. He flicked it on and scanned the surrounding area, then quickly looked down at it. "And, I can see no reason why."

(reply Nishi)

He folded up the tricorder and gently put it back in the waistband holster. "We are ten to fifteen minutes from the Tower, keep your eyes open." 

Sevant moved forward again, careful to avoid branches and bushes along with dry patches of leaves and branches that would make excessive noise in his passing. He had no grown up in a forested area, this would not be his choice terrain in combat, but there were things that just could not be changed.
