Plot Summary
Part 1
Shortly after an awards ceremony at The Spike, explosions shook the station, injuring several people including Lieutenant Commander Pavlova, who suffered extensive injuries, and was beamed directly to the emergency wing of sickbay, where Doctors Sasak and Fitzpatrick began working feverishly to save her life.
In the aftermath of the blast, the Eagle's crew worked independently and with station security to begin investigation as to the source of the explosions, finding a container of a sweet-smelling compound - similar in smell to that which a few of the crew remembering catching whiff of immediately prior to the blast. Bajoran graffiti was also found nearby. It seemed apparent the explosions were not only accidental, but some form of politically-motivated terrorist attack on the station ... and possibly (although not directly) the Eagle and her crew.
Part 2
Despite wanting to stay behind to continue the investigation in person, a garbled distress signal from a Mithgiln starship lead Captain Oddas to reluctantly order an immediate departure to aid the stricken vessel. Once the ship arrived, it became clear that the Mithgiln were under attack by light fighter drones, evidently operated from another location. As the Peizord (the Mithgiln vessel) burned in space, a hail was received from an unusual Bajoran claiming to be acting on behalf of the “Kai of Guls”. Disturbed by his use of violence on innocent civilians, the Eagle began looking for a lead, and after some travel time, detected something on the edge of long range sensors. The Eagle went to Yellow Alert, and sped toward the source of the signal.
When they had tracked down the source of the energy signatures and transmissions, the Eagle's crew (Including a freshly-released to light duty Commander Pavlova) found one of the last things they expected: a Cardassian base. While it was in clear disrepair, it looked far from deserted. The crew approached with caution.
Having hailed the Cardasian base, the Captain and those present on the bridge were face-to-face with Krieig Jabt, the leader of the base, and most likely this "Kai of Guls" they'd been told of. Jabt seemed composed and nonplussed by the terse conversation with Captain Oddas, going so far as to cordially invite a contingent from the Eagle to the base to talk further as his personal and honored guests.
Part 3
Upon beaming to the base, the away team comprised of LtJG Collins, Ens Hontrú, MC Ness, and the Cardassian attache Sotia Dano, led by LtCmdr Shayne were greeted by a pair of armed security guards. Kai Jabt entered the reception area as soon as the situation was deemed safe (at least safe enough so a fire fight wouldn't immediately break out), and greeted the away team with a broad, charismatic smile. A brief interchange between Jabt and Shayne led the team to be split - Shayne going with Jabt to his office to discuss the matters further while the rest of the team was given a tour of the facility by a Bajoran by the name of Kosst to whom Jabt gave the task.
Upon entering Jabt's office, Shayne was shocked to see a skeleton wearing a Cardassian military uniform "sitting" in a chair. When asked about the corpse, Jabt referred to the dead man as Chellin: his faithful advisor and friend. (TBC)
The rest of the away team, being led by Kosst, eventually came upon what could only be referred to as a shrine. Offerings of respect, loyalty, adoration, and honor from several Alpha Quadrant races surrounded a life-sized gold statue of the man they had just seen. Kosst began speaking of faith and becoming part of the congregation. The religious talk was punctuated however, when Hontrú began clutching at his head, then crying out in alarm and pain. Collins also felt some strange effects. His were accented by a visceral sense of communication with ... something. (TBC)
On the Eagle, with tensions running high and still ramping up, the power flickered and dropped to minimums. Several key systems on the ship were rendered unavailable including computer access, phasers, and tractor beam control. On the bridge, LtCmdr Pavlova pointed out that they had no way of detecting or preventing a boarding party. Security teams were dispatched immediately to key points throughout the ship while other teams were sent to attempt to regain full control of the Eagle's systems. Lieutenants Drex and Mika worked together on a theory Drex had regarding the delta wave energy signatures emanating from the base. (TBC)
