A routine day on Denali Station becomes dangerous as strangely unnoticed, fast-approaching asteroids are set to make an impact faster than the survey team on the USS Eagle can redirect them all.

Mission
A seemingly normal day
Fleet Captain Oddas visits the still-in-progress Transportation Station where Dekas, Kettick, and Neshala are all working to have a conversation about the specifics of the progress.
Around the same time Marine Captain Gogigobo Fairhug holds some cross-security training exercises with Alex Forsyth, and Ozai Y'zyr.
And over on the USS Eagle Lt. Commander Tomas Falt runs some astrometric surveyance with T'Lea, and Freck and finds some odd dust clouds in the process.
Dust clouds which turn out to be some fast-approaching asteroids that mysteriously couldn't be picked up on sensors, and the asteroids are on their way to make a few impacts with the Ring faster than they can redirect all of them.
This couldn't have waited until Tuesday?!
In a time frame that feels altogether too quick, the team on the Eagle and the teams on the Station all have roughly 10 minutes to coordinate a way to keep the suspicious asteroids from creating an extinction event on the Ring.
Marine Captain Gogigobo splits the team and works with Alex Forsyth on a plan to coordinate the city to as close to underground bunkers as they can, while Ozai Y'Zyr goes with Marine Gunnery Sergeant Nan Hesan to work on security from their side.
Engineers Dekas and Kettick try to figure out a way to boost that shielding despite everything against them, and coordinate with the Eagle, Fairhug's team, and the people in the Operations center.
The Eagle realizes the asteroids are made out of alucanite, which is magnetic. Something very helpful in trying to deflect the asteroid.
The Eagle also reasons out a way to bounce the asteroids off the Ring's odd platforms in a way akin to skipping a pebble on a pond, albeit on a wildly different scale. Saving an extinction event, although it will cause problems with the day-night cycle facilitated by the platforms, and some radioactive debris.
Along the way, Lt. Commander John Kendrick returns from a brief leave of absence and reaches out to the Eagle when he gets the asteroid readings on his own ship's computers to help out.
The Engineers plan to polarize the emergency shielding they do have, and work with Gogigobo's team to use the shuttlecraft Nenana and some others to use as a centerpoint to create something of a Halbrach array; a magnetic field on one side but not the other.
And in the meantime, the time coordinating gives roughly five minutes left to get it all in order before the asteroid inevitably hits.
