==Summary== | |||
The Artemis, a cargo-variant of the Starfleet’s Odyssey class, was abandoned during a firefight with Tholians shortly after the fall of Astrofori One. Though Captain Felicia Nickson activated the ship’s autodestruct system after ordering abandon ship, the system apparently failed. Starfleet officials feared that both the ship and its classified cargo, which anonymous sources indicate was of a particularly sensitive nature, had been captured by the Tholians. | |||
As the nearest ships to the incident, the Veritas and the USS Montreal were called upon to locate the Artemis. The complex search process was interrupted by a trio of hostile Tholian vessels, which the Veritas and Montreal engaged and destroyed – a further sign of escalating conflict between the Federation and the enigmatic race. | |||
Upon locating the Artemis, damaged and adrift, but still in tact, Captain Roshanara Rahman ordered an away team to board the vessel to determine the status of its cargo while the rest of the crew explore options for scuttling or recovering the vessel, if possible. Veritas was then intercepted by a small fleet of Tholian vessels that demanded Artemis be abandoned. | |||
While the crew navigated the standoff, an engineering team led by Ensigns Geoffrey Teller and Wil Ukinix successfully scuttled the Artemis by intentionally overloading the ship’s slipstream drive. The engineering team escaped via an Orion vessel in the Artemis shuttle bay, while Veritas extended its warp field around the Tholian fleet to ensure they escaped the resulting explosion. | |||
Meanwhile, a man named [[Jhalib Ekal]] was recovered by Veritas shortly after the mission to find the Artemis began. The man later identified himself as a 25th Century time traveler affiliated with a group known as the [[Temporal Integrity Commission]] (TIC). TIC apparently intended to sabotage Veritas in an attempt to prevent a war they believed we would start at some future date. While the crew had thought the sabotage was thwarted thanks to their efforts, a series of unexplained and catastrophic power losses resulting in failures of multiple systems occured shortly after they'd returned from Tholian space and were in orbit of an M-class moon of a gas giant. With life support threatened, Captain Roshonara Rahman [[Limbo (Veritas)|gave the order to abandon ship.]] | |||
