Dark Side of Lightside (Denali Station)

Act 1

Science Lab 1

Commander Alora DeVeau combines forces with Lieutenant JG Sasus Raimor and Ensign Arthur Strathmore and take a closer look at the strange toxin discovered at the Invitational. While the initial substance was only addictive in nature, a second batch loaded onto drones and prepared to release the toxin on the audience at large proved to be far more deadly. As the trio look at how to develop an antitoxin, they also consider the repercussions should it get released on a wide scale. Strathmore warns of mass hysteria should such an event occur. All three are determined not to let that happen, and they take Raimor’s discovery of a substance that they could target to help break down the toxin as well as a second angle to work on developing a way to combat it. As the ship goes to yellow alert, the group get to work in hopes of having a solution before they reach the station.

Act 2

Bridge Team

Commodore Oddas Aria remains on the bridge with Commander DeVeau and Ensign Strathmore. After DeVeau and Strathmore offer Oddas requested advice, they contact the administration of the station who gives them a pleasant greeting. As expected, there is great concern when she hears about a ship arriving with a toxin. She insists the Starfleet Officers be honest and clear with information and gives them permission to have a medical team beamed down to the station. After gathering as much information as they can safely convey, the trio beam over to Lighthouse station and connect with the administration there. As they wait, they come up with a plan to hopefully distract the administration enough to not notice two covert teams already on the station as well as possibly foster a more positive relationship.

Medical Team

Lieutenant Jg Raimor, Lt Jg Vahin and Ensign Drex beam directly to the medical level of Lightside Station ready to inform the staff there about the toxin. Unfortunately for the team the first people they run into aren't too fond of visitors and activate a barrier to keep the three of them out. Luckily for them, Doctor Samar, the Chief Geneticist at the Spike, arrived on the scene and had the team released. She takes them somewhere more private and tells them her clients value their privacy. As she heads to the CMO’s office, she explains he recently passed away from food poisoning and recommends they eat only from replicators.

Engineering Infiltration

Suspecting that some of the Kalinda leadership are behind the sabotage, Kettick, Dagaz, and Xiron head to the station to try and connect to their computer core in order to gain some intelligence. Struggling to find a computer core or even engineering section, the group head toward a maintenance corridor in the hopes of finding something they can use to access the computer system and ping it to locate the core. They head to a datalogger only to hear footsteps coming down the corridor. A male Boslic appears and demands to know what they’re doing, and they claim they’re trying to hook into the station’s central computer because of a system failure at the trill consulate. The Boslic gives them the information and the group heads to the central computer.

Intelligence Gathering

Kettick, Kendrick, Forsyth, and Falt head to the market in hopes of finding out more about the vessel they tracked. They run into a Ferengi who offers to gather information for them - at a price.
