Tangent


Starfleet Intelligence has detected warp signatures in the Emisa System. Suspecting an advance by the Lattice Alliance, the Arrow has been dispatched to investigate. Upon arrival in Emisa, a residual subspace imprint of a warp field are detected near Emisa III, and the Arrow discerns no sign of Sheliak or Tholian activity. The Arrow does find a research station built upon Emisa III’s moon.

Act 1


Starfleet picked up small-scale warp distortions in the Emisa systems. Due to the threat posed by the Lattice Alliance, the Arrow was dispatched to investigate these irregularities. After arriving in the system, the crew quickly discovered a colony on the moon of Emisa III, a planet within the system. While sensors picked up a lot of irregular readings for a previously ordinary system, the remains of a Sheliak vessel stood out.

After being hailed by the moon colony and greeted into the system, the Arrow was informed of a self-defense system of the colonists called the grid. It had been shut down for the Arrow and allowed the ship to converge on the moon.

Captain Shayne dispatched an away team (Hobart, Zerva, Ohnari, Brenner) to investigate the remains of the Sheliak vessel. In the meantime, he followed an invitation from the colonists to visit the moon base. He was accompanied by Lieutenants Jacin and Zenno as well as Commander Waters.

While the away teams conduct their investigations, the crew on the Arrow tries to make sense of the sensor readings of the system, trying to understand the grid and the missing data from the planet Emisa III.

Act 2


As a nuclear explosion shows up on sensors, minor malfunctions start to occur aboard the USS Arrow. The explosion originates from the planet and is also registered by the moon colony and both away teams.

Commander Adyr decides to send the away team, which is occupied with investigating the Sheliak ship's remains, to investigate the planetside explosion and rule out any further Sheliak threats. After landing, the away team is taken by surprise when a party of Emisans who live on the surface of the planet shows up. The Emisans force the away team to accompany them to their underground base, and contact with the ship breaks.

Meanwhile, Captain Shayne and his team also hear the explosion as they are having a reception on the moon colony. The Director and Chief of Security play the importance of the explosion down and invite the away team on a tour of the base - first showing off a communications hub. Captain Shayne and Lieutenant Jacin discover a graphical map of nuclear radiation near the explosion site. The colonists reassure the Starfleet officers that they are still investigating its origins and strengthen their own narrative of this being a natural occurrence of a dying planet. Events like these are what forced them to live on the moon colony for centuries and what eradicated the Emisans on the planet.
