Mission Summary
Click sub-headings below to expand or collapse.
Act One: Shadows in the Temple
The Gorkon has divided into four away teams with unique goals and objectives. Flying through the wormhole in the Kahnrah, the Kerla and two other long-range shuttles, they intend to investigate the cult known as the Eye of Infinity and its potential connection to the missing tourist vessel, the Prophet's Path.
Investigate
- Investigate the wormhole's stability.
After the discovery of two cloaked spheres inside the Bajoran wormhole, a silicon-based being contacted Neathler, zh’Tisav and Ferrucci. It appeared the beings caused the instabilities in the wormhole, by draining energy from the verteron nodes. Even though the alien had trust issues with the team, once the officers replenished the spheres with energy, the being accepted the team’s help to search for its crashed mothership back on Sargasso V. The Kahnrah searched for signs on the surface for a crashed ship. A long trail that cut a river in half and the planet’s crust was the most promising location and the team ventured down the canyon to see how they could help out.
Infiltrate
- Undercover mission to infiltrate the cult and gather intelligence.
- Team: Tahna Meru, Cory Stoyer, Corum Hak, Greg Aegam, Aridal Mirak
Tahna, Aegam, Stoyer, and Mirak were welcomed into the cult with open arms, right up until someone framed them for attempted murder of the Cantus. This resulted in a tour of the cult’s suspiciously extensive underground prison facilities, where they were confined to a single cell until a key happened to find its way into Mirak’s pocket during an interrogation. They were able to sneak out of their cell and find the prison’s control center, where they saw surveillance footage appearing to show the Cantus alive and well. After “borrowing” disguises from some unwillingly unconscious cultists, they set about freeing anyone else held prisoner by the cult—though how they’ll manage to sneak prisoners out of the compound while they’re still wanted for attempted assassination remains to be seen.
Study
- Study the high-tech relics and determine their origins.
- Team: Quinn Reynolds, Gnaxac, Ayiana Sevo, Torvi Ylvor
After landing on Sargasso V, Reynolds, Sevo, Gnaxac and Ylvor set out to explore the wreckage fields and locate the missing tourists. Their search was immediately complicated by a sudden rise in temperature, and interference which prevented any detailed scans. They managed to locate the missing shuttle without too much difficulty, however there was no sign of the tourists. Shortly thereafter, they encountered a trio of Scavengers—people who had rejected the Cult and its ways and teachings. After some back and forth where the Scavengers attempted to use competing tactics to manipulate the Starfleet officers, they came to an accord. With the Scavenger’s help, the away team has now set out to rescue the tourists.
Contact
- Diplomatic team to establish initial contact with the cult.
- Team: Jo Marshall, Doz Finch, James Bowers
Deep within the Sanctuary, Marshall, Finch, and Bowers found themselves saved from an uncertain destiny by Kireth, a Vorta as perplexing as their situation. Navigating their way out of the enigmatic worship fortress, they encountered cultists in a meditation hall, engaged in a solemn song for those lost in the skies, while the ominous voice of the Scourge—a mysterious woman intent on expelling them from the planet—echoed around them. Taking a daring course, the team, now joined by Oliver Zuccaro, another cultist seeking escape, progressed through the Sanctuary to what they believed was a control room for the Eye of Infinity shield. Their journey led them to the threshold of the Scourge's royal chambers. What awaited them there was anyone's guess, but one thing was certain: it wouldn't be tea and crumpets.
Act Two & Finale: Behind the Curtain
