The Artemis was dispatched to the Da'al homeworld to assist with relief efforts following a meteor impact, which left approximately 10,000 Da'al dead and thousands more wounded and/or unhomed. Shortly after arriving the crew starts noticing - and then experiencing - strange behavioral modifications.
The Artemis was dispatched to the Da'al homeworld to assist with relief efforts following a meteor impact, which left approximately 10,000 Da'al dead and thousands more wounded and/or unhomed. Shortly after arriving the crew starts noticing - and then experiencing - strange behavioral modifications. The telepathic members of the crew and all of the Da'al in the immediate vicinity were impacted by particles deposited on the planet from the asteroid, which caused them to act irradically.


Commander MacKenzie's team met with the Interim Secretary for External Relations, Erbil. He requested the Starfleet officers appear before the Great Council to expose the Interim Security Minister as a member of a faction whose aim was to undermine the Da'al government through the assassination of him, the Interim Prime Minister, and anyone else who opposed their brand of government reform. What had started as a simple request for help post-catastrophe had turned into a request to intervene/interfere with internal politics, but was rapidly growing more hostile. Then, the trio heard phaser fire from outside. After investigating, it looked as though the Gendarmerie was firing on a civilian mob - both unprecedented in Da'al society.

The mob outside crashed through the outer walls of the building, self-preservation overrode any animosity, and the team escaped through a hidden doorway and down into a dungeon-like series of hallways. The trio raced toward an exit where a Hopper (non-orbital planetary transport) stood waiting. In this vessel, they quickly left the peril behind. After several hops, the computer aboard the hopper detected a Federation signal coming from a residential sector. Commander Yalu's team emerged from the lower levels. The arrival of the hopper however, was enough to alert the nearby mob of senseless Da'al to their presence. In a rush the now significantly larger group hopped away from the shelter, heading toward the Government Center in hopes of finding something that could be of use there.
The crew of the Artemis splits up to engage in some friendly war games designed to test the Artemis's preparedness, with half of the crew heading up the USS Berlin under Commander Adea. The ships faced off in a mostly-simulated combat in a nearby nebula. Things were going according to plan until a group of Suliban pirates observing the battle decided to intervene and attempt to take over and/or destroy both vessels.
 
En route, Ensign Jones explained his theory about the Da'allium to Commander MacKenzie, then with Lieutenant Yellir's help, began modifying the stasis device from the medkit MacKenzie's team had brought. Lieutenant Dakora took a turn for the worse and engaged in a fight with Lieutenant Osuna, resulting in Lieutenant Dakora getting stunned. With Dakora incapacitated and now that Yellir and Jones had finished modifying the device, they tested it on Dakora. The test worked, and though still unconscious, Dakora's brain waves were returning to early-mission state.
 
Now with their destination at hand, they had to determine a way to broadcast the same signal at a level that would effect all the currently-mad Da'al. Lieutenant Yellir suggested connecting the device to the hopper's engine, which once attuned to the proper modulation, would upon overload cause a massive shockwave, essentially permeating everything and everyone within the affected area. No sooner had the hopper settled than a new mob was seen - this one accompanied by large construction vehicles - moving slowly but surely in their direction. With this new sense of urgency, Commander MacKenzie led all but Yellir and Jones away from the hopper toward the closest government building in the hopes this would draw the crowd away from the craft and give the two remaining officers enough time to perform the modifications to the craft. The plan worked ... mostly. About 75% of the crowd followed the larger group, who once inside the complex, sought to devise a way to boost their bioreadings, drawing more of the mob away.
 
Back at the hopper, Lieutenant Yellir completed her modifications, performed a test of the circuitry, then initiated the overload. As soon as she and ensign Jones began sprinting away from the time bomb that had previously been a transport vessel, the remaining mob contingent spotted them and gave chase. When the craft reached critical, the energy surged through the modified stasis device, causing a catastrophic (but planned) failure of the engines, resulting in a sizable explosion and violent shockwave of fine-tuned harmonic resonance that disrupted the Da'al's telepathic link with the Da'allium momentarily. The results were threefold: (1) the shockwave knocked down every person within 100 meters of the small crater (all that marked the former position of the hopper), (2) the accompanying disorientation and nausea for those within the same proximity created a "puke fest" event, and (3) the Da'al's link to the compound was severed, allowing it to break apart, neutralizing the threat. The only problem was, the range of this action was extremely limited.
 
Hearing the explosion and feeling the resultant tremors, MacKenzie and the rest of her group returned to the site to meet back up with the two would-be pyrotechnicians. With the ground team reunited, MacKenzie began asking about a solution with a larger area of effect that didn't involve blowing anything else up. The team began throwing out ideas, but in the midst of this conversation, prompted by the explosion, the Artemis beamed the entire group (including Erbil and Teolin) aboard. This development allowed the team to receive (and provide) medical treatment.

The crew of the Artemis found themselves against their doppelgangers from another universe, who were less technologically advanced and war-torn. After providing aid to their Shint-universe counterparts and repairing their ship, the doppelgangers tried to take over the Artemis. After repelling their assailants, the crew of the Artemis used technology from the doppelganger's crew's adversaries to send them back to the proper universe.
