Unbeknownst to the rest of the [[USS_Excalibur-A|Excalibur's]] crew, [[Addison_MacKenzie|Commander MacKenzie]] received a cryptic message from an unknown source, informing her of possible information about the poisoning in the previous mission. Confiding the communication with [[Talos_Dakora|Lieutenant Dakora]], the two officers agreed to meet with the sender covertly in an attempt to maintain the trust already extended, and find some answers to the attack. Taking the retired Maquis raider, the MV Daisy, from DS-224, they set off toward K-7. After a few days' travel, they arrive at K-7, but are captured by a group of hostile Klingons in the station's cargo bay. When MacKenzie and Dakora regained consciousness, they found themselves in a very small room or container. It wasn't until after Dakora was dragged away and tortured in an attempt to extract the Excalibur's security codes they learned the box in which they were being held was in fact aboard the MV Daisy. Fortunately for the pair, the Intelligence Officer had installed a "back door" access to the Daisy's voice command protocols. Commander MacKenzie used the override to activate the cargo arm to raise the makeshift prison and drop it repeatedly, resulting in a broken arm for her but more to their purpose: a broken container. The two were able to escape their cell, but currently remain in danger of being found by the Klingon force currently in control of the Daisy. | Unbeknownst to the rest of the [[USS_Excalibur-A|Excalibur's]] crew, [[Addison_MacKenzie|Commander MacKenzie]] received a cryptic message from an unknown source, informing her of possible information about the poisoning in the previous mission.

When Cmdr Mackenzie and Lt Dakora receive a message about possible information regarding the recent poisoning attack they embark on an unsanctioned investigation, sending the crew of the Excalibur on a mission to find out the whereabouts of the officers and the cause of their secrecy.
Plot Summary
Unbeknownst to the rest of the Excalibur's crew, Commander MacKenzie received a cryptic message from an unknown source, informing her of possible information about the poisoning in the previous mission. Confiding the communication with Lieutenant Dakora, the two officers agreed to meet with the sender covertly in an attempt to maintain the trust already extended, and find some answers to the attack. Taking the retired Maquis raider, the MV Daisy, from DS-224, they set off toward K-7. After a few days' travel, they arrive at K-7, but are captured by a group of hostile Klingons in the station's cargo bay. When MacKenzie and Dakora regained consciousness, they found themselves in a very small room or container. It wasn't until after Dakora was dragged away and tortured in an attempt to extract the Excalibur's security codes they learned the box in which they were being held was in fact aboard the MV Daisy. Fortunately for the pair, the Intelligence Officer had installed a "back door" access to the Daisy's voice command protocols. Commander MacKenzie used the override to activate the cargo arm to raise the makeshift prison and drop it repeatedly, resulting in a broken arm for her but more to their purpose: a broken container. The two were able to escape their cell, but currently remain in danger of being found by the Klingon force currently in control of the Daisy.
Crawling away from the cargo hold of the Daisy, MacKenzie and Dakora made their way as silently as possible through a ventilation/maintenance duct to the communications room in the Daisy, where Commander MacKenzie attempted to send a message to the Excalibur.
Meanwhile aboard the USS Excalibur-A:
Commodore Nicholotti recalled the crew to the Excalibur. In the XO's absence, she'd made Dr. Cmdr Adea the acting first officer, shifting the newly-arrived Ens Jones to acting CMO. In the meeting with all senior staff, Nicholotti briefed them on the situation as far as she was able. Teams were set to try to first find all the pieces to this puzzle then fit them together into something that made more sense than a First Officer and CIO simply vanishing. While one team remained on the bridge to work through trajectory data, another headed to the Counseling Suite to try and suss out the motivation for the excursion (and hopefully their intended final destination). It was quickly decided the Excalibur's command codes - namely those assigned to the missing officers - should be secured, so team was sent from the bridge to main engineering to work on this task.
En route to K-7, the sensors picked up a distress signal being sent from an automated distress beacon, whose registration matched that of the Daisy. After a scan to determine there was no wreckage in the area to indicate the destruction of the Daisy, the beacon was beamed into cargo bay 1 and a team lead by Commander Adea was dispatched to investigate. While this team rode the turbolift, on their way to the bay, the beacon exploded, causing a disruption in the ship's power, communications, and computing systems. The turbolift lost power, trapping the trio. Ensign Jones responded to the call of medical emergency in Cargo Bay One via the Jefferies Tube parallel to the broken-down turbolift, stopping in to assess injuries there.
Ensign Jovenan contacted Ensign Kawarda to begin running scans in Astrometrics of the area surrounding K-7 when their comm line was severed by the blast. Using the diminished computer capacity following the explosion, Kawarda initiated the scans before determining the most likely place for Jovenan to have been trapped and coming to aid her release. Once freed, the acting department lead joined the Vulcan, thereby doubling their research efforts in the hope of providing something useful for the bridge team to act upon.
