Back on the Bridge, Lt. {{n|Kaitlyn|Falcon}} made the observation that it may possible to bring Darwin into Talvath's atmosphere allowing the them to draw the resin cloud into the containment sphere more effectively than employing tractor beams. Reinard agreed, so Falcon took the ''Darwin'' down into the atmosphere, although not before having to fight her way through the debris field caused by the Nybarite freighter. | |||
Back on the planets surface, Thomas's team had arrived at Talvath's main Water Distribution facility. Quickly, James and Taybrim got to work examining the condition of the pumping and filtration systems, while Thomas and Cogud went to check the state of the facilities water reservoirs. Taybrim revealed that he had brought a sample of a biofilter, however they would have to find a way to make it grow as it required heat and an energy source. James quickly got to work adapting Taybrim's phaser so it would produce just the right amount of energy the cells needed. | |||
At the same time, Malcolm's team arrived at the exceedingly poor triage facility, set in a local schools gymnasium. Immediately, Dr. Malcolm, Corbin and Lt. Orrey got to work treating the locals although it wasn't long before disaster stuck - one of the locals, distraught at loosing her own child, attempted to kidnap another. Thanks to the quick work of Corbin and Orrey, however they where able to stop her before she got too far. | |||
Meanwhile back on the ''Darwin'', the governor and his men - Sindari Jo'Rek, the Governors Aide, and Mhas Keras, a Romulan scientist - finished reciving their treatments for Trilitium poisoning and retreated to VIP quarters to freshen up. While the Governor prepared himself for working with Starfleet to help the colony, Jo'Rek began to hatch a far more sister plan - a plan to capture the ''Darwin''! Quickly they put the plan into action, attempting to flood the ship with neurozine gas - and in the process killing two Security officers. Fortunately, (for the crew of the ''Darwin'') Keras was not quick enough bypassing the internal sensors which triggered a Red Alert, notifying the bridge. | |||
While this happened the Governor himself was invited up to the lounge for a briefing by Lt. {{n|Montague Klaus|Eickleberger}}, where they where joined by Ensign {{n|Necessity|James}}. Initially the conversation was centred on why the ''Darwin'' was in Talvath's atmosphere, however news of Jo'Rek's actions quickly reached them as two Security officers entered the Lounge to guard the Governor in case he had played some part in the plot. Protesting his innocence, the Governor insisted that he put a call through to the bridge, in which he gave information on what he thought Jo'Rek's next actions to be and revealed his suspicions that he may be a Tal Shiar officer. Necessity did not believe him however, and was incredulous that "a Romulan, trusted another Romulan at face value". She and the Governor then got into a argument fuelled by several comments she made that could be viewed as derogatory towards Romulans. | |||
Back at the Water Distribution plant, James and Taybrim had managed to grow quite a large sample by the time Thomas and Cogud had returned, however it was not enough to form a filter large enough for the colony's needs. The pumps here also still in-operational, due to power fluctuations in the colony's power plant. It was quickly decided that James would take over monitoring the biofilter from Taybrim, while Thomas preformed the necessary modifications to the pump to get it to some level of operation. During this, they also discovered that communications with the ''Darwin'' had been severed, supposedly by the same fluctuations that had damaged the pumps. Quickly, they decided that as the power station was a bigger problem they should head there and attempt to fix it. However, as they where walking through the colony's streets they came about a burning building with several trapped people inside. Thomas and Cogud quickly rushed inside, determined to rescue its inhabitants while James and Taybrim waited outside to maintain a device that was keeping the building up and to help care for the injured retrospectively. During this time, a girl appeared on the roof of the building and jumped out onto Talvath's streets. Realising that while the girl was unlikely to survive an impact with the ground, but if she impacted with him it would be likely that both would survive James put himself in her path injuring himself in the process. Now unable to maintain the stabilizer himself, James had to guide Taybrim on how to boost its power while slipping in and out of conciousness. Fortunately, Thomas and Taybrim where fairly quick to return after that, Thomas suffering from a nasty burn on his leg. With James' condition deteriorating as the adrenaline he took to keep himself concious (if in pain) wore off and with Thomas' injuries it was decided to hijack the Romulan shuttle near by in order to get to the Triage site. | |||
