Prometheus Incident/Columbia
Phase 1: Between the Rock and a Hard Place
|
While in the midst of a training exercise, Commodore Heather Westhaven requested the USS Columbia, to investigate incidences of computer and robot malfunctions on Outpost Alpha on Piktar II. Upon arrival in the Piktar system, the Columbia was contacted by Captain Goxac, a Ferengi, who insisted on receiving some compensation after having lost an away team on Outpost Alpha. In order to get more information from Goxac Captain Livingston invited him, and some of his officers onboard. They were received in the diplomatic lounge, where the senior staff tried to make their guests talk about their intentions regarding Outpost Alpha. The scheme looked like it would work when First Officer Trolloc, a woman, revealed how much she disliked what her people were doing in the Piktar sector. During those events, LtCmdr. Brek, Cmdr. Karynn Brice, Lt. Johanna MacLaren, along with a squad of Marines led by 2nd Lt. Dorian Grand went to explore Outpost Alpha. The away team encountered no difficulties entering the science station. However, as soon as they ventured into a corridor, they met a group of scientists who, in no uncertain terms, asked them to leave. The way all their movements were coordinated and their constant references to a 'complete or incomplete circle', convinced the team that this group had somehow been subjugated by Alpha's A.I.
