Ancient Ruins


Day 136: If there was anything Lt. Crow enjoyed more than being a member of Star Fleet and serving aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, it was mountaineering. When the Away Team discovered an ancient ruin on an unpopulated planet, she quickly volunteered to make an ascent of a crumbling tower in order to document how the structure might have been used. While Capt. Picard and Commander Riker kept watchful for anomalous geomagnetic readings and the occasional hirsute or reptilian monster, Lt. Data belayed his fellow engineer as she climbed up the rocky exterior. Upon reaching a low point in the wall, she shone a light inside and let an expletive fly.

"What is it? What do you see, Lieutenant?" Picard was most anxious for the safety of all his crew. If danger was waiting in the interior of the silo, he wanted information, not swearing. "Lieutenant, give me your report."

Crow looked down at her companions and laughed. "You are not gonna believe this. This thing is packed about a third of the way up with empty beer cans!"
