History Lesson (Embassy of Duronis II)
USS Bronwyn went to it's shakedown cruise. Near the edge of the system it encountered the anomaly similar to the one that disabled USS Victory, but this one pulled a little ship and Bronwyn passed through it on the other side. Ship was not disabled, but was damaged and they had to return to shipyard for repairs... only there was no shipyard in the system.
Plot Summary
Officers and half of the future crew of the USS Bronwyn gathered in the Mess Hall for the christening ceremony of the refurbished ship. They took the ship to the edge of the system and planned to turn back and make a short range warp jump back to the Til'ahn when the anomaly opened and sucked the ship. While moving through anomaly ship lost shields and got hit by the microscopic black hole (or as Chief Scientist T'Mihn called it a microscopic hypermass) and cut big part of the rear section of decks 7-10. Ship was losing air very fast, what when they exit the anomaly threatened to cause lot of deaths aboard.
When ship stabilized and moved into lower orbit of the nearest planet capable of allowing them to replenish air and survive; one group of officers beamed to the planet to make initial survey (Colonel Waltas, Commander Parker and Marine Captain Hannah Martinez) and second one went down in the only shuttle aboard. Soon it was obvious that the planet is Til'ahn, but the time they ended in was far from desired. Anomaly kick them more than 600.000 years in the past.
While engineers conducted repairs, security searched for survivors. Soon it was obvious they lost only several people, most of them being engineers who died in transporter accident while they were sent to the damaged part of the ship to try and prevent the loss of the oxygen.
At the same time teams on the planet joined and just when planned to start a search for the suitable camp site where more people from the ship may beam down to alleviate the load on the ship heavy rain prevented them from moving on. Marines fast made camp by the shuttle with 3 tents where some of the shuttle occupants joined them for the night. In the morning when everyone joined for the morning coffee they realized Colonel Waltas went alone to scout the land. Just when Parker wanted to go and seek him land started to shake and volcano erupted above them and the gap opened between them and the shuttle taking it in. T'Lea found Waltas under the rocks and just when got him released from them rest of the away team joined them. Lava started to gain on them and they hide under the outcropping... but the landslide took Hannibal Parker away and into the direct lava flow.
After a discussion about the Prime Directive and implications of actions they are forced to do, decision was made between away team and the USS Bronwyn to fire ships phasers to save Commander Parker from sure death. (QUOTE - T’Lea: You realize that by saving him we will be in direct violation of the Prime Directive. We are sitting on a fault line. The power from the ship’s phasers may cause a cataclysmic plate shift, which now that I think about it-- yes, it would be enough to create the basin for the Kabir sea to flow in. ::shrugging:: Your call Admiral. Do we make history? Or obey the directive?) Powerful ships phasers caused the fault to shift and allowed the sea to enter the fault line, forming the Kabir sea. Admiral Turner and Major Pavlova jumped to help Commander Parker and when the wave hit they were taken away from the rest of the crew.
