Background: The Dyson sphere is named for the 20th Century Earth scientist Freeman Dyson; Dyson suggested that civilizations could be classified by the amount of power which they could tap and control. He proposed that eventually a civilization would tap the entire energy output of a star; some suggested that this would best be achieved by orbiting huge numbers of solar collectors, but this idea was quickly replaced by the idea of constructing a large solid sphere around it. This would not only allow all of the suns energy to be tapped if required, but would also potentially allow a colossal living area to be built. | Background: The Dyson sphere is named for the 20th Century Earth scientist Freeman Dyson; Dyson suggested that civilizations could be classified by the amount of power which they could tap and control.

The Dysons sphere was discovered by the USS Jenolen in 2294; whilst investigating the sphere, the Jenolen was damaged when it triggered an automated system and crashed on the surface. Captain Montgomery Scott was ultimately the only survivor of the accident and was rescued by the Enterprise-D when it discovered the sphere in 2369. | The Dysons sphere was discovered by the USS Jenolen in 2294; whilst investigating the sphere, the Jenolen was damaged when it triggered an automated system and crashed on the surface.

Captain Jordan Hurne of the USS Victory was called away on a secret mission shortly before the Dysons mission began. Commander Megan Parker was placed in charge as Acting Commanding Officer. Lt.

Acting Commander Parker allowed Lt.(jg) Julia Harden to take a shuttle with Lt.(jg) Thomas as security and Lt. Beta at the helm. During this short field trip, she gathered several indigenous plants. One of the plants developed its own naturally occurring lectrozine. Mixed with hyronolin, this proved to be a safe long lasting protection for the crew against the Dysons sphere radiation bursts. | Acting Commander Parker allowed Lt.(jg) Julia Harden to take a [[Shuttlecraft|shuttle]] with Lt.(jg) Thomas as security and Lt.

On recon, Rocket and Bennit discovered a domed building. Entering it, Bennit went in first whereupon the door slammed shut behind him. In the dark, he was attacked and wounded by an unknown creature. Meanwhile outside, Lt. Rocket was seeing children playing, then the ashes of people who were vaporized. Hearing the door close, Rocket managed to get it open again. Quickly transported back to the shuttle, Bennit was treated by Lt.Cmdr. Phoenix and stabilized. Dr. Napolean and Lt. Margate arrived soon after. They had not found anything significant to report. Aboard the Victory, Dr. Harden's examination of Abe's eye confirmed it had turned black and swollen but had no permanent damage. | On recon, Rocket and Bennit discovered a domed building.

Prior to leaving the landing site, Commander Phoenix drove one of the two SVENs off the shuttle, demonstrating its abilities. Explaining the vehicles the USS Atlanta sent, he said, "A compact and efficient all terrain vehicle based on the Argo designs. There is room for four people and equipment. It has less fire power and is smaller then the Argo. But it is just as quick and more maneuverable. On the back of the vehicle the defense systems are located. One push on the button and out comes a class 4 automated phaser pulse rifle. Not powerful enough to win a war, but very efficient for defensive purposes." | Prior to leaving the landing site, Commander Phoenix drove one of the two SVENs off the shuttle, demonstrating its abilities.

Dominus opened up his tricorder, tapped a few buttons intending to send Lt. Cmdr. Nugra back to the Thomas Slade. Nugra materialized in a standing position and he instantly knew that he wasn't on the Thomas Slade. His senses kicked off and he spun around. The silver metal ground molded out and a bent support molded out of it with a glowing crystal in the center. It turned like a periscope and faced Nugra. Called OMI, the object claimed that Nugra was responsible for the slaughter of all his kind.

The security team converged on engineering one half on each side. Lt.(jg) Blair (NPC) hit the code and the door flung open. The whole team stood back in disbelief as the image and images expected were not there. Instead there were distorted images. Calling for the holo illusion to be deactivated, Blair explained that the entities were not there and neither was the engineering crew. | The security team converged on [[Engineering|engineering]] one half on each side.

Dr. Harden had been working on an injection of tryptophan-lysine distillates. Originally developed to fight a virus, she hoped it would work to force the entities to flee. In case it didn't, Cmdr. Parker said, " I want something to kill Phoenix and Rocket." Not wanting to discuss her plan, Parker cut the comm link before any discussion could take place. | Dr. Harden had been working on an injection of tryptophan-lysine distillates.

Megan moved to a console and with a few key strokes the containment field began to fill with a brownish gas. Robin, Simon, Julia and the nurses immediately began coughing. Megan stood sternly and watched a the terror of the situation grew on their faces. Julia and the nurses lay limp on the deck. Robin and Simon looked fanatically around for some way to save their essences. Megan stood quietly as the two rifled through their containment cell looking for something to save themselves. | Megan moved to a console and with a few key strokes the containment field began to fill with a brownish gas.

It wasn't long before they found an unused bio neural gel pack that an engineering officer had been preparing. Sensing that this would sustain them till another humanoid body came close enough to take over they placed themselves inside. The gel pack disappeared in a blue haze. Shocked faces were now left to stare at their acting Commanding Officer. | It wasn't long before they found an unused bio neural gel pack that an engineering officer had been preparing.

The EMH in main engineering was instantly activated. Cmdr. Parker turned to the crew. "Relax. They're not dead. The doctor did indeed make a poison for me. Her fear and the remnants of Commander Phoenix and Lieutenant Rocket was enough to convince them I was serious. The gas was simply Anesthezine combined with a simple inert colored gas for effect. They thought they were going to die and were forced to flee the bodies to save themselves. Our officers will be fine.. perhaps a slight headache." | The [[EMH]] in main engineering was instantly activated. Cmdr. Parker turned to the crew. "Relax. They're not dead.

With that, Kael engaged the transporter, and transported the gel packs, straight into the pattern buffer. Modified to keep them there for a substantial amount of time. The bracelets did not materialize. Lt. Simon Rocket had slipped into a coma. | With that, Kael engaged the transporter, and transported the gel packs, straight into the pattern buffer.
