• Act 1

Old Mc Bolen has a farm

---

Paoike Colony on Drever IV is in a pickle. Less than ten years ago the colony was founded by Adirim Bolen. Things went well until recently. Without any change to care, environment and such their crops have begun to get sick and die which limits their food supplies. That is particularly bad because the farms are what keeps them fed. This is just the beginning. Once the crops get sick the livestock can't be fed, which will take away that food supply as well. So they asked for a specialist to check on the issue and that specialist has asked Starfleet for support. The specialist has determined that the issue is localized to this village and its vicinity, it also is not bacterial or a virus. So we can exclude a planet wide pandemic. The orders include that while we are there to have a look at the infrastructure and general state of the colony, but our main focus will be the issues at hand.

Act 1

---

The Constitution Crew ends their shoreleave on Arentis and returns to the Constitution, where they are informed of the new mission, while being en route to the Drever System. Upon arrival everyone is given a task to get going as soon as they arrive.

Tasks given to the Departments

• Science
  • Inform the botanists and ask them to join to check on the plant life
  • Scan the location for composition, contamination, pollution and the like.
• Medical
  • Inform the Vet to check on the livestock
  • Check on the inhabitants to make sure that they are alright.
• Counseling
  • Have a look around, talk with the people see how they are doing, provide comforting words. Check for distress, anxiety and the like.
  • If anything more serious seems to be brewing let Jalana know.
• Engineering and Operations
  • Have a look at their equipment, see if anything is broken, needs replacement or repairs and what we can provide to help out there.
  • Don't offer improvements or over the top replacements. As a private endeavour there are no freebies without cooperation by the colony or the need for it. The leader should take care of that part.
• Security and Tacical
  • Find out about recent events, possible enemies and such. Ask around the village, see if any of the inhabitants have something to say that can be brought to Mister Bolen.
• Laria
  • Have a look around the place
• Contact person or udpates from the teams
• Jalana and Diz'mim
  • Meeting with Bolen and the Scientist

While the crew is out collecting information they collect different theories on what has happened to the plants. That is when they receive a warning for a rainstorm from the Constitution and the weather forecast on the local radio. Nothing too serious, so nothing to worry about.

Act 2

---

When the rain starts it quickly become clear that the forecast was only partly right. It is a rainstorm, but that is not all. Thunder, lightning and hail follow suit. The lightning striking in the forest also leads to a large creature being spooked and breaking through the defense perimeter now rampant in the village.

Drever IV

---

This information has been gathered during the mission and is available to all players.

Colony

The location for the colony was carefully chosen. The planet did not have inhabitants until about 2392 when Adirim Bolen founded Paoike Colony. He oversaw much of the surveys personally to make sure there was no indigenous sentient life or other settlements. As of 2402 the colony has 100 inhabitants of various species and ages.

Buildings

The homes of colonists are round buildings constructed of building kits that are made to look like wood to fit into the environment.

There are a few buildings a bit outside of town from the early days. The original power generation plant, a small landing strip for larger transports, some expansions that never took off. All abandoned for some time now as their functions were replaced or no longer needed, left overs from initial plans for the colony that didn't work out.

Environment

Domestic animals and farm animals are partly in pens, and partly walk freely in the village. Fields for crops are spread through the village to utilize the room as much as possible. The whole colony is surrounded by a large forest.

Forest

The forest around Paoike is home to various wildlife that the local Zoologist Thoth researches and catalogs. He also records episodes of his series on wild animals of Drever IV there.

The edge of the forest is secured by a perimeter of defense mechanisms to keep the creatures of the forest out of the colony.

The perimeter includes laser triggered mechanisms called vonwI' 'uD'a' used by Klingons, that can be connected to any mechanism. The laser is like a primitive trip wire but invisible and one doesn't feel it when stepping through it. It is easy to hide the emitter pins -for example between or under foliage- to not be seen. The perimeter was set out by Thoth -the resident zoologist- after being hired for that by Bolen.
