A plant that was being studied by SB26's botanists has grown beyond all expectations and has roots getting into places it shouldn’t, disrupting systems as a result. Something is released into the air and circulated through the air. Everyone on the station is put into a deep sleep to include the new command staff of the ATF fleet. Varaan only barely manages to call for aid before he too falls unconscious.
The USS Blackwell and USS Atlantis have a desperate situation to attend to that threatens to spiral out of control at any moment. One of the two major continents on Kiros III is undergoing seismic disturbance which have caused the death of thousands and many more are injured. The inhabitants are threatening to go to war!
Debin VII - A small mining outpost ran by one of the Freeworlds Mining Companies has been under quarantine by the Freeworlds Navy for several weeks with an outbreak of an unknown virus/plague and The Blackwell has been called in to investigate. Meanwhile, on SB26 a top diplomat’s husband was found dead in mysterious circumstances. It’s the third victim since Starfleet returned to the station and it’s always the family of Caraadian diplomats from Aelann. It seems there is a serial killer on the loose who may be trying to scare or get to the diplomats themselves.
