While the first officer, Lieutenant Commander [[Lael Rosek]] and the commanding officer, Commander [[Mei'konda]] were discussing new transfers, they were alerted by a priority one communique from [[Meridian]]<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-montreal/aBo-G4SIABo ''Commander Mei'konda - Solok'']</ref><ref group="footnotes">See [[Shoals]] entry, re known communication issues</ref> and then shortly after, a new transfer - a noted doctor, Lieutenant Commander [[Solok]], who formerly served with much of the crew of the {{USS|Montreal}} when they were on the {{USS|Veritas}}. | While the first officer, Lieutenant Commander [[Lael Rosek]] and the commanding officer, Commander [[Mei'konda]] were discussing new transfers, they were alerted by a priority one communique from [[Meridian]]<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-montreal/aBo-G4SIABo ''Commander Mei'konda - Solok'']</ref><ref group="footnotes">See [[Shoals]] entry, re known communication issues</ref> and then shortly after, a new transfer - a noted doctor, Lieutenant Commander [[Solok]], who formerly served with much of the crew of the {{USS|Montreal}} when they were on the {{USS|Veritas}}. | ||
Alerting them that at the time, it was primarily affecting the [[Klingon]] population of the primary colony, they immediately began plans to implement a proper quarantine and relief to the colony.

Choosing to perform the diplomatic outreach directly, Mei'konda left the Rosek in command of the ship and left for the central visit to see General Eth'ek of the Klingon house Cirposh.

Disabling the two ships, the shuttle patrol issued by the Montreal aided in rescuing the people stranded one of the more damaged freighters. | ||
However, the meeting was interrupted by the fact that the general had been infected with this plague.

This was further aided by the party getting a purer sample during their investigations. | However, the meeting was interrupted by the fact that the general had been infected with this plague.

In the meantime, the responsible party for the plague had hailed them. It was [[Lenik]], an extremist member of the [[Reya-Laialara]]. He wished to get command of the Montreal for his fleet, and threatened them with destruction if they didn't comply. Refusing to hand over the ship, the bridge crew began to work on an idea to counter him, but before they could execute this plan, Rilek fired on the Crescent View Medical Research Facility.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-montreal/0TwKbPaFA-4 ''MSNPC Colonel Rilaw - Fire at Will '']</ref> with roughly 300 initial casualties<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-montreal/vsXZfkpjU38 ''Ens.

As a result, the crew of the Montreal accelerated their plan and executed a much more daring one. The plan, a hybrid of the ones proposed by Commander [[Tal Tel-ar|Tel-ar]] and Ensigns [[Sotak]] and [[Tiria Hamasaki|Hamasaki]], was two fold. Force a shuttle to reach a warp core-breach at the same time it rammed the ''Miran's Tifar'', and then accelerate from the surface to attack. | In the meantime, the responsible party for the plague had hailed them.

A concern was the minimum time to reach safe distance for shields, roughly 31 seconds. Thanks to a plan by Lt. JG [[Jacob_Harkrow|Harkrow]], and with assistance from [[Sotak]] and Rosek, they cut that down to a much more daring twenty four seconds, and executed an attack on the terrorist ship, forcing it to retreat. In the meantime, Solok, with assistance from Ensign [[Stennin]] had come up with a vaccine for this modified plague, and had successfully treated General Eth'ek, which was sent back down to Meridian to aid in recovery there. | A concern was the minimum time to reach safe distance for shields, roughly 31 seconds.
