Subject: [USS Capricorn] Something wicked this way comes?
NRPG: Sorry - I got so confused by the discussion on times, that I'm
scared
to put anything in case it's wrong! But it follows on from Josh's last
post!
:)
<Snip from Tree's post>
"Captain, you need to walk towards us slowly and don't make any quick
movements." Istria exclaimed trying to sound calm. The large feline was
right behind the Captain's head giving them no clear shot. It could
attack
at any minute.
"What?" Avi questioned as he was suddenly thumped on the side of the
face
with something black and furry.
"Captain! Duck!" One of the security officers yelled as the Panther
rose to
its feet. Avi's eyes widened seeing the phaser aimed at him and
instinctively dropped. "Hold your fir." The cat growled leaping away as
the
weapon sounded just missing it. Then came the faint rustle of bushes as
it
melted into the dark underbrush putting a short distance between it and
the
Starfleet.
Avi rose to his feet dusting himself off with a disgusted look as the
team
rushed forward."I'm fine! Grrrr.. I HATE CATS!" He yelled in the
direction
the panther had headed.
An inhuman snarl laced with laughter that only the man could hear
echoed
through the forest and the large cat began to shrink in size as it
scaled a
nearby tree. White fangs gleamed eerily in the night as the black one
smiled
knowing her ride of this planet was know definitely assured.

"Ailurophobia would have been the least of your problems if that
creature
had decided to attack, Sir," said Istria, as she strode up to the
Captain.
"But it wasn't hunting," she continued. "You'd have been a goner if it
had
been hunting. It had plenty of cover, you were distracted... What
happened -
did you corner it, Sir?"
"Not exactly, Lieutenant, more the other way around," Avi replied,
cryptically.
Istria frowned. There was something strange about the feline. As it
disappeared into the undergrowth, the Science Officer could have sworn
it
has
started to ****mmer and ****ft. Something niggled at the back of her
memory -
there was something she should remember...
"That's a dangerous creature, and no ordinary panther," said Istria,
"and I
think you know more about it than you're letting on, Captain," said
Istria.
"With respect, I think you should tell us what you know about that
creature."
<tag Josh - up to you whether you want your chance to reply here! <g>>
Suddenly, Istria sensed something. A presence.
"Captain, I think we may have some more company..." she said.
<tag!>
NRPG: I'm assuming our Vampiric friends are coming calling. Istria can
'sense' them before they get within range of any of our sensors. Istria
could have some explaining to do as to how she knew they were coming
before
anyone else... ;)
SUMMARY:
Istria knows there's something familiar about the panther, but doesn't
realise that it's Petra.
She challenges Avi to tell them what he knows about the big cat, then
senses
one or more of the 'locals' approaching.
