One of the few work sights within this region. Artifacts were astounding and unexpected. "Commander!" Doctor Emma Wright exclaimed with barely controlled anger. "By what authority do you have to confiscate out artifacts and data?" The Commander had already had several encounters with the leader of the expedition. He had just about reached his limit with her. "By order of Federation security protocols!" He barked back with equal anger. "This is my expedition; And an an independent since consortium you have no right! This matter will be brought before the Federation courts!" ""Your Expedition?" He bellowed back. "Only until a Starfleet team arrives to take over operations here, Doctor. At which point you and you entire team will be evacuated.!" "You can't do that!" She screamed back. "I won't allow you to take our work and materials!" "As if you have a choice." He then grinned. "You have a complaint; lodge it with the courts." He chuckled as he turned and walked away in confident strides. Dr.Wright stood motionless for a moment before turned on her heels and heading towards one of the well worn paths they had created to dig sight three. "Baxter!" She yelled with growing frustration.
