Croesus quickly returned to the Wacamaw and found the prehistoric mosquito diligently fighting to get out of it static container.

Joined by another of the science team Cadet Leaf Brol preparation to secure the being inside the ships pattern buffer began.

" Lieutenant Ellie Kees-Odak please come to mooring Bay 2 for assignment duties." Croesus called via his comms badge.

Ellie was in the science lab when the call came through. “On my way Commander” she quickly organised away her things and grabbed her away team kit before heading to bay 2.

Croesus remained loose and Cadet Leaf Brol was at the transporter controls when Ellie arrived.

" Oh good you're here. Look what hitched a ride all the way from Crestacia. It attacked three of us. It can camoflage itself too." Croesus greeted.

“Oh wow!” Ellie stepped a little closer, but not too close just incase. “Has this life form tried to communicate? Attacking could just be out of fear.”

" Sort of. It attacked 3 of us...its a Mosquito from Hell. Help me beam it to the pattern buffer and we can return to Crestacia and set it free." Croesus replied.

Ellie nodded. “Of course Sir, it’s a shame to keep it trapped here.”

Croesus plan was stalled when he received a summons from security.

" Slight plan change. Apparently my wife has been arrested and my daughter is with security. We will have to store this thing and take it at another time." Croesus replied.

“Understood” Ellie nodded. “If there’s anything you need, or anything I can do to help please let me know.”

" Keep this creature in the containment buffer. When I return we can get underway. " Croesus replied.

Ellie nodded. “Aye Sir.” Watching him go she hoped things with Kah’lyn would soon be sorted out.
