Missing In Action (Columbia)

"Ensign Pholin Duyzer's personal log, stardate 239511.04. Our first mission on the USS Columbia has just concluded succesfully. It started, for me, on my first shift on bridge duty. I learned that the Captain had taken the Kumari, the captain's yacht, for a test flight. It didn't respond to our hails and wasn't visible to our sensors. After a comprehensive sweep we found three different signals. The acting CO called for an emergency meeting where he divided the senior staff into different away teams. I was assigned in doctor G'Renn's team along with Tatash and Jolara. We were to go after the third signal on a planet on the edge of the Sagittarius Reach. We chose to fly a shuttle there and an hour later we departed on the Laurel Clark. After a rough flight we were contacted by lieutenant commander Thoran telling us that they had found some sort of signal not far from our landing site. We decided to hike there and enjoy the beautiful nature. Meanwhile, I tracked the signal on my tricorder, eventually leading the team to it. I then ran into some sort of cloaking/energy field throwing me back a few meters. I do not remember much of it, but I remember a flashback throwing me all the way back to the Dominion attack. I wasn't injured much, the worst was my elbow but that quickly went away. We managed to disable that field and found a small town hidden underneath the cloaking field. While walking into it and scanning the place, they were suddenly attacked by an unknown target. It was an unknown alien, that was scared of unknown intruders. The threat was neutralized and we prepared to enter the largest building, where the signal came from. The alien told us that the place was haunted, so we let it go before we entered it. Inside we found what appeared to be a nuclear reactor. We were then found by people who appeared to be human. They warned us and threathened us. In an attempt to escape, we started to overload the reactor. I tried to keep it under control, but I failed unfortunately. Now, we had to get the hell out of there. We ran out of the building, finding an old Earth "truck". I volunteered to drive it, and if you asked me, I did pretty well. This truck helped us to get to the shuttle in time, but not before encountering the alien we had let go earlier. In an attempt to save him from a nuclear meltdown, Jolara dragged it into the truck before I continued driving. We quickly boarded the shuttle again and took off. Somehow, the reactor didn't explode; I will have to look into that. We had, however, now disabled the magnetic field that had stopped communications earlier so we received orders and heard that the Captain had been found by another away team, not before the security officer and the director had a conflict over taking the alien hostage however. We landed once more to let the alien go and had an uneventful flight back."
