Starfleet Redshirts in Pointless Rebellion: Invasion Cacti (Part A)

---------+--------+

Being warned of a possible civilian war on the blisteringly hot home planet of the Warrior Cacti, it is up to Starfleet to save the day. The Away Team is sent in, in an attempt to prevent the escalation of anger between the Cacti Overlord and the Echino Rebels.*

Starfleet Redshirts, Chiaki and Ona, are given the duty of liaising with the Echino Rebels.

As communication breaks down, it is up to Starfleet to decide which side is twisting the facts and just who has drained the Cacti Planet Mt'Coot-tha of it's valuable liquid minerals!

Stay tuned for further Parts.

If that made no sense, let me summarise quickly:

Ona talked me into a Star Trek shoot (I was worried that the dress would look as terrible on as it did in stills) - she twisted my arm with the promise of an 'other-wordly' backdrop (the Mount Cootha Botanical Gardens) and a brand new Canon 40D camera.
As an added bonus, the costumes were supposed to be 'oh so incredibly easy!' Obviously, I'm not so good when it come to patterns - I found it quite challenging! However, at least this time there was only beehive hair - not blue paint and 'dreadlocks'!

**I hereby state that any and all errors concerning the world, mechanical workings and characters of Star Trek are the fault of myself, chiaki. And do not represent the Trek-knowledge of ona in any way.
