Examining the evidence before you.....

Probe finds what appears to be a clear and level area, and puts them down.

He goes back and makes sure that his passengers, and smiles when he sees that even the youngest of his passengers hardly felt the landing. Indeed, the infants of Fred and Astra 3 are still snoring quietly away.

Turning, Probe catches his reflection in one of the numerous equipment monitors that dot various parts of the shuttlecraft. He has to admit, he still isn't comfortable dressed up like a local citizen of this world.

He was decked out in a green jerkin and brown pants, with a grey cloak with hood to complete this costume.

Beyond the gem that pulsated in his forehead, Probe would have passed for a local (albeit an extremely TALL local). A physical search would reveal some rather exotic equipment hidden on his person (exotic and lethal) that would denote his otherworldy nature. Stripping him naked of his clothing would also reveal the same (as well as a magical examination). But to the casual observer, Probe would appear human.

Probe, however, felt a twinge of discomfort when he looked at himself. He would take a long time in getting used to wearing anything other than his old military uniform....

Shrugging that off, he turns back to Fred and the other.

"I'll be back," Probe says in a heavy, Austrian accent.

"Go get 'em, Terminator!" Demifox Synizn chuckles, recognizing that line from one of the recent "movies" he and the other dragons had watched along with Inquirer.

"I'll tell you later," the demifox mage chuckles when Fred and Astra look down at him in askance.

Probe chuckles a very human chuckle as he enters the rear of the shuttle, and then ducks through a hatch into the lower portion of the the ship.....

Five minutes later, after the most basic of examination one could find in the the simplest of Alliance Engine Tech Manuals.....

"Fu...argh," Probe mutters, biting off the curse he was about to make. He wasn't going to dirty himself and the ears of the young ones in the upper decks on account of . . . .a well meaning but sadly misguided Star Fleet puke!

His Family had known that a person on the Voyager had been able to somehow patch into the Alliance computer systems through, up until now, unknown means. After much examination of the plundering of Voyager's data systems, Inquirer had even been able to find the key....signature of the perpetrators. Further examination by Probe himself had revealed, even to the livid Captain Sterndeck.....that Janeway and the others of the Voyager's command chain were unaware of the Solomon twins antics.

Probe walked back into the compartment that the other adventurer were resting in. Fred and the others noted the rather blank look on Probe's face. By their long association with the mechanical man.....they knew that Probe had turned off his facial muscles again.

"Is...it that bad?" Astra 3 whispers, suddenly worried that they were in serious trouble.

"No....actually it's rather mild," Probe says in a distant, calm voice. "Amazingly mild, considering that the Voyager interfaced the fuel manifold controls in such a manner that SHOULD have caused us to light up like a firebomb the moment I had turned the shuttle over......"

1. "I think it's about time that Sigin Vulpine introduced the facts to his next potential," Demifox Sigin says quietly. The others nod, in silent agreement.
