Zephyr nods an affirmative at Julia, That sounds like a plan. If our suspicions are right this is a very serious situation. He makes a mental note to prod Vega more thoroughly in the future regarding anything she knows about the people she helped onto this planet.

Feeling guilty for leaving Alira and her team, he taps his combadge, Alira, I have finished with Julia at the first station. I am on my way to join you. He pauses momentarily. Please transport me to Alira's location.

He then turns to Julia again, the growing concern plain on his face. Please keep me informed of your progress, Julia. For now, I feel I better join the search group. They may be in mortal danger.

He stands still and awaits transport.

Alira receives a message that Zephyr will be joining her group again. A few seconds later, he materializes right in the middle of your little group.
You move up to the front door and find that the lock on it has broken down and you can simply push the door open manually. Once you do so, you can enter. The room is dark, the only light source being the opened door, and, as far as you can tell from the entrance door, empty. Large shelves take up most of the room. You also see a staircase leading to a higher level and a closed door in another wall. You don't hear any noises from this level or another one.

Well, someone was here, let's do a sweep.
Back room first, then the second level. Eyes and ears open people

You quickly manage to search this room and don't find anything of importance. When you open the door, you see that it leads down some stairs. With the help of a flashlight, you make your way downstairs and search the basement. It looks very similar to the ground floor with high empty shelves everywhere. Searching it, you come across something interesting. The dust in a large area in the middle of the room has been disturbed and following these traces, you discover a large wooden crate. Inside are military mattresses and sleeping bags as well as rations and a small cooking apparatus. None of this stuff is Consortium design and in fact, under closer inspection, you discover Naplican writing on almost all of the equipment you find here.

Crap!

Alira hits her comm on a broadcast all security override.

This is Lt. Alira Vitan. It appears there may be a Naplican presence on planet. If you find any evidence, or find a Naplican force, call for back up immediately.

She switches to a channel with the security office and then the ship with the same message.

Please do another sensor sweep looking for Naplican signatures, or any energy signatures that may show Naplican weapons or communications.

After the messages my team and I will continue to search this warehouse and when it is clear get transported to the next closest one.

"Understood, Lieutenant. We're switching our scan pattern to look for Naplican energy signatures and communication patterns. Stand by"

Lisa steps closer to Alira. She's trying to be tough but the discovery that there are actual Naplican agents on the planet is distressing. Bea is browsing through the crate to look for anything of particular interest. She looks up at Zephyr. "Can you determine how long they've been gone with your tricorder? They might still come back to get their stuff back"

Zephyr retrieves his tricorder again and scans the room for heat traces, biological matter, or other signs that anything living had been in the room recently.

Naplican agents? Is this system in Naplican territory? Was there any dispute when this system was colonized? I'm stretching to find a motive here.

Zephyr paces around the room with his eyes firmly on his tricorder. The growing threat to the thousands of people at the resort obviously upsetting him, but he is also starting to worry more and more about Alex and Cass. Out of desperation, even though he doesn't expect it to work, Zephyr taps his com-badge, Shawna, Alex, do you read me?
