Teaser

Intended as a training exercise, the crew of the USS Artemis-A was divided in two, half manning the borrowed USS Berlin to put both the Artemis and her crew through their paces.

Plot Summary

Since their last mission was entirely planet-side, Commander MacKenzie thought it prudent to give the crew a feel for what the Artemis was capable of. To that end, she set Commander Adea in command of the USS Berlin with a draft of the senior staff under him. Once in place, the now two crews would face off in a mostly-simulated combat in a nearby nebula. The environment there would not only prevent full impulse travel, but also add an element of uncertainty to the exercise. (See Crew Manifests section for crew breakdowns)

USS Artemis

After entering the nebula, the crew of the Artemis deployed probes with modified signatures, intended to distract the already less-able sensors of the Berlin. After searching, they located a signature that eventually proved to be their quarry. Firing upon the smaller ship had the desired effect: decreased shielding and minor damage, but it also had an undesired effect. The phaser fire, though decreased in intensity for the exercise, was enough to trigger ignition of a plasma flare. This backfire of sorts caused significant damage to the Artemis' own shields, which sent the crew into repair mode. Yalu, Vedic and Savel headed to Main Engineering to assess and repair damage there. Upon arriving, they found an overturned replicator playing some sort of advertisement for drink-ware.

USS Berlin

The Berlin took a careful approach to the nebula, having a disadvantage with sensor capabilities. Moments before being attacked by the Artemis, Ensign Kawarda (utilizing a "tactical astrometrics station") was able to spot the ship and relayed the information to Lorana on the bridge. There was however, no time to avoid the attack, and when the Berlin was hit and damage reports made, Adea made the call to send a boarding party over to the larger ship. Dakora suggested beaming in other items as a means of diversion not dissimilar to the Artemis' use of the probes, but on a smaller scale. The more obviously tactically valuable boarding points would serve as the diversions while Dakora, Osuna, and Jones would beam into Elysium with a small contingent of security officers.
