Broken Bow (Khitomer): Difference between revisions

The crew of the {{USS|Arrow}} gathers in [[Deep Space 33]]'s Arboretum for their end-of-mission awards and promotions ceremony. As a result of an apparent infestation by hull-eating microbes, the entire crew has disembarked from the ''Arrow'' during its decontamination. As celebrations ensue, and [[Zenno|Lieutenant Zenno]] begins his investigation of the theft of a tray of trademark ''Arrow'' lemon squares, the crew is confronted with a much more significant crime. They watch, through the Arboretum's transparent dome, as the ''Arrow'' maneuvers away from Deep Space 33, and promptly goes to warp, without them.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-arrow/c/7i7yGAcoHsI/m/dvjNnxEEBwAJ Lt.

While [[Randal Shayne|Captain Shayne]] negotiates passage on the recently-arrived {{USS|Khitomer}}, [[Nolen Hobart|Lt. Commander Hobart]] organizes senior staff for an emergency meeting in a vacant conference room on Deep Space 33, and begins to hand out investigatory assignments.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-khitomer/c/Z59K_c0SZH4/m/v0KHOJdTBAAJ Capt.

With the briefing concluded, the ''Arrow'' crew boards the ''Khitomer''. As Hobart receives [[Nathan Campbell|Ensigns Campbell]] and [[Eliza Holtz|Holtz]], Captain Shayne accepts formal transfer of authority over the ''Khitomer'' when Captain Hayley reveals she was there to deliver the ''Khitomer'' to him, anyway.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-khitomer/c/Q73NHTkZbWM/m/kRRxH56TAAAJ LCDR Nolen Hobart — New Faces, New Spaces]</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-khitomer/c/zZEABPwrXTc/m/Oabe_EXyAAAJ Capt.
