Plot summary

Previously on USS Constitution - What lies below ...
The crew of the Constitution wrapped up their shore leave and good fun and headed off, back into the working force that is StarFleet. Captain Jalan Rajel was more than happy to reclaim her chair, though he knew she had left it very capable hands. (Now) Commander T'Mar and (now) Lieutenant Commander Rustyy Hael, where more than ready to go back to their normal positions. After a night of promotions and bowling, and a couple of days of shore leave afterwards the crew was eager as ever to get back out into open space.

Word arrived of a group of Dokkaran's needing to jump limb and root into new soil. An unknown toxin poisoning their soil and local mother tree on Kelan. If they remained they would risk all their lives, but to leave meant letting go of what was. After careful deliberations the Dokkoaran's leader, Awern Sedean, made the decision to reach out.

The USS Constitution-B jumped at the chance to assist. Captain Rajel spread the work out amongst her crew to make preparations for the arrival of some very interesting guests, between 60 and 70 Dokkarans. Most crew members had never encountered the species, which sent the ship into a hive of excitement.

Lieutenant Junior Grade Chelin Ch'Gabor set out in search of a new home, while Ensign Dag Sindri and Lieutenant Commanders Rustyy Hael and Danzia worked to make comfortable living quarters for the 70-odd Dokkarans. Which had been made easy with the help of Sherana, the ship's arboretum caregiver.

Sickbay was also kept busy, tasked with preparations for medical treatment for the flock of unusual species with an unusual ailment. Goal of the treatment was to rid the Dokkarans of the unknown poison and make sure that they would not transfer it to the new soil.

Two Dokkaran colonisation vessels arrived to meet with the USS Constitution-B and boarded in Shuttle Bay, where they were greeted by Captain Rajel, Cmdr T'Mar and LtCmdrs Danzia, Sinda Essen and Shar'Wyn Foster. The Dokkarans - Leader Awern Sedean and Head Scientist Merina Lirane - were informed about the new planet - Dagorin VI, a naturalist and scientist paradise - before they were lead to Sick bay for their treatment.

On the way back to the bridge T'Mar received an urgent call and shortly after left the Constitution to head to Vulcan for a family matter, which lead to Jalana announcing for Rustyy to be acting FO.

Meanwhile Lt JG Ch'Gabor sent a scout probe towards the new prospective planet Dagorin VI and picked up a strange signal. Dagorin VI was right in line of the signal, that Lt JG Solaris McLaren identified as *possibly* being generated by the Orion Syndiate.

Ensign Akoni Soriano looked into possibilities for what cause once healthy grounds of Kelan to become suddenly devastating to plant and people plant alike, upon research - she reached out to her chief Lt JG McLaren to discuss possible, unlikeable scenario's...

Ensigns Mandak and Blackwell used the quiet time on the bridge to check out the Dokkaran ships, as they had never seen any. While exploring the ship Mandak found a tracker on the ship and alarmed the Captain about the possibility that someone was having an eye on the Dokkarans.

It became all hands on deck for those not already immersed in preparations, treatment and care of the Dokkaran’s, as questions range out about the reasoning for the device and the ailments that hounded the Dokkaran’s to leave Kelan to begin with. Unpleasant parties seemed to be a recurring theme, as it was thought that toxin dumping was taken place on Kelan.

As for the question of the tracking device, it was theorized that it was connected to what was happening on Kelan and to the signal they had picked up. Intel and Ops work to separate fact from fiction. A chance to put their decrypting skills to the test.

All the while, Sickbay’s hands were kept busy. Sedean, the leader of the Dokkaran’s, left his people in the hands of the Constitution’s medical personal and headed to the bridge. Where he was asked to offer any details about the tracking device found, to which he had very little to offer. Dr Foster and Dr. Milsap identified the effecting ailment, a cellular mutation. Time is not stalled on figuring out the source for it, instead they leap headfirst into treatment through radiation.

The pilot of the Constitution speaks up as the ship enters the far reaches of the Talos Sector. They drop to impulse and enter into orbit around Dragorin VI

As the Conny reaches Dragorin VI, the mystery of the unknown device becomes a focal point for Ops officer Blackwell, chief of intel, McLaren, and chief of engineering, Hael, as they work together to separate the device from the Dokkaran’s main computer. It adds suspicion, when the device turns out to be more intimately connected to the main frame.

Sickbay has screened the Dokkaran’s and gave them medical assistance to better ensure that the Dokkaran’s would not transplant whatever it was that ill’ed their last home. In groups, they migrated to the Arboretum to rest and recover, as the Conny crew began to investigate the new world.

Captain Rajel called LtCmdr Hael to the bridge to put together an away team. Which consisted of; LtCmdr’s Sinda and Foster, Lt JG’s Mclaren, Ch’Gabor, and Es-Aleh as well as Lirane, the Dokkaran’s leading scientist. Which left Blackwell to contact Ensign Soriano and Lt JG Sindri to assist her in further detailed work on figuring out the origin and purpose of the device.

LtCmdr Hael and his away team beam down to the rather pleasant in scientists dream world and split up into three teams to better investigate the surrounding area. LtCmdr Foster and Lt JG Ch’Gabor and Es-Aleh go to the trees, Lirane and Lt JG McLaren investigate a nearby stream and LtCmdrs’ Hael and Sinda begin mapping out the land for better terrain layouts.

Plot summary

USS Constitution NCC-9012-B, With shoreleave wrapped up, many officers have walked away with shiny new pips adorning their collars. Captain Jalana Rajel has returned from a draining visit home with new hopes and refreshed excitement. Commander T’Mar and Lieutenant Commander Rustyy Hael, though both capable, where more than pleased to resume their normal duties.

KELAN, A group of Dokkarans made their home for several decades on a new world, Kelan. All had been well until recent times, when their holy garden falls ill and threatens the wellbeing of their cherished Vizinyian Tree. The voted leader, Awern Lirane, and their leading scientist, Merina Lirane, made the decision to reach out to StarFleet for help in locating a new home.

The USS Constitution-B, the nearest ship available, accepted the request of the species quite possibly doomed on their previous home. The crew jumped in, headfirst to preparations for the unique species and hunted down a world that looked most suitable, Dragorin VI of the Talos Sector. Sickbay took on the duty of healing the plant based Species.

"They are sentient Plants... You really can never judge a book by its cover." says Lieutenant Junior Grade Milissa Merriment from the nursing staff.

What should have been a simple transplant, became filled with question and speculation. Leutentant’s (JG) Solaris McLaren and Chelin Ch’Garbor picked up a signal which emanated from an unknown location and transmitted to an equally questioned location. Their research into the matter brought up possible Orion Syndicate affiliations. Soon after, Ensign Prudence Blackwell and Ensign Na’Lae Mendak stumbled upon a tracking device in one of the Dokkaran’s ships and a strange comm frequency is picked up by the bridge with unknown origins. There is speculation of the two possibly being connected. Sickbay made headway in the ailment of the Dokkaran’s, a cellular mutation. Little time is wasted in providing the organic lifeforms with treatment. And not a moment too soon, at the USS Constitution entered the Talos sector and approached Dragorin VI at impulse….
