With the Tholian threat looming, the Montreal is tasked with seeking out the help of the Klingons to even the odds. The Montreal receives word that a Klingon general is currently visiting Meridian, and the ship makes their way there in order to try to form an alliance with them. Meanwhile, also on Meridian, a mysterious sickness breaks out among the population...

Mission Summary
While the first officer, Lieutenant Commander Lael Rosek and the commanding officer, Commander Mei'konda were discussing new transfers, they were alerted by a priority one communique from Meridian[1][footnotes 1] and then shortly after, a new transfer - a noted doctor, Lieutenant Commander Solok, who formerly served with much of the crew of the USS Montreal when they were on the USS Veritas.
Alerting them that at the time, it was primarily affecting the Klingon population of the primary colony, they immediately began plans to implement a proper quarantine and relief to the colony. Implementing a rather risky plan to land the ship, given the age of the Norway_class spaceframe and damage from the persistent mission, they began to perform a dual outreach and medical relief mission[2]. Choosing to perform the diplomatic outreach directly, Mei'konda left the Rosek in command of the ship and left for the central visit to see General Eth'ek of the Klingon house Cirposh. Meanwhile, the Montreal immediately had to deal with two ships attempting to breach quarantine at the same time their medical and science teams were rushing to create two makeshift quarantine zones. Disabling the two ships, the shuttle patrol issued by the Montreal aided in rescuing the people stranded one of the more damaged freighters.
However, the meeting was interrupted by the fact that the general had been infected with this plague. Further more, the proceedings broke down entirely upon learning that one of the Klingon General's party, a Colonel Rilaw was a traitor[footnotes 2] and upon boarding the Montreal, she poisoned the Chief of Science, Lt. German Galven through a tear in his EVA suit. Meanwhile, Solok had remembered that at one point of his past, he had heard of the [3] and managed to get authorization to get it's specifications. This was further aided by the party getting a purer sample during their investigations.
In the meantime, the responsible party for the plague had hailed them. It was Lenik, an extremist member of the Reya-Laialara. He wished to get command of the Montreal for his fleet, and threatened them with destruction if they didn't comply. Refusing to hand over the ship, the bridge crew began to work on an idea to counter him, but before they could execute this plan, Rilek fired on the Crescent View Medical Research Facility.[4] with roughly 300 initial casualties[5][footnotes 3]. As a result, the crew of the Montreal accelerated their plan and executed a much more daring one. The plan, a hybrid of the ones proposed by Commander Tel-ar and Ensigns Sotak and Hamasaki, was two fold. Force a shuttle to reach a warp core-breach at the same time it rammed the Miran's Tifar, and then accelerate from the surface to attack.
A concern was the minimum time to reach safe distance for shields, roughly 31 seconds. Thanks to a plan by Lt. JG Harkrow, and with assistance from Sotak and Rosek, they cut that down to a much more daring twenty four seconds, and executed an attack on the terrorist ship, forcing it to retreat. In the meantime, Solok, with assistance from Ensign Stennin had come up with a vaccine for this modified plague, and had successfully treated General Eth'ek, which was sent back down to Meridian to aid in recovery there.
However, Lenik had gotten away, and it was a long stern 40-day chase to where the warp trails lead - Karakka

Notes
- ↑ See Shoals entry, re known communication issues
- ↑ Starfleet Intelligence has been informed by Klingon Intelligence that they suspect the real Rilaw was killed, but due to internal tensions, this is considered unconfirmable and no more than hearsay.
- ↑ The final casualties were 425, with 89 dying in the initial attack, and 12 as a result of it.
