Teaser

When Starbase 224 receives a distress signal from an unknown civilian freighter with no records of ship, crew or cargo, the recently returned USS Artemis, still recovering from the chaos of Frontier Day, is dispatched to locate the missing spaceship. With the added complication of a very active Celendi Nebula pouring radiation into the space around it, the Artemis goes on a bit of a search and rescue mission for the missing Tritorian with more questions than answers as to who they're supposed to rescue, and from what.


Back on the Border

On the Bridge

Upon their return to the Borderlands, and their dispatch onto their new mission to locate the missing - and entirely unknown - civilian freighter, the Tritorian, the recently promoted Fleet Cpt. MacKenzie orders her crew to initiate their search for the vessel. With Ens Lyara revealing that their available search grid is too large for them to search in time to intercept the Tritorian in time to rescue them from a possible crisis, Lt.Cdr. Jovenan sends orders to the Science Department to calibrate the sensors to make the search through the heavily irradiated Celendi Nebula less bothersome, while Lt.Cdr. Dakora is charged with ensuring that the Medical Division is prepared to deal with a substantial amount of radiation poisoning while the Artemis remains in close proximity to the irradiated nebula.
Approaching two possible planets in their search for the Tritorian, the crew of the Artemis comes face-to-face with a very unpleasant indication: of the two planets, one is void of life, but the other - Ura Neteos III - is home to a species of sentient serpentine aliens, currently experiences their version of the Dark Ages. Knowing that the possibility of the Tritorian crashing into that planet would mean a Prime Directive incident, Fleet Cpt. MacKenzie orders her crew to do a full scan of the uninhabited planet. She has no intention of sending a team down to Ura Neteos III unless absolutely necessary, but considering Lt.Cdr. Jovenan's continued inability to ascertain the Tritorian's presence on the uninhabited planet, the writing on the wall is becoming clearer...

Sensor Calibrations

Receiving directions from Lt.Cdr. Jovenan to calibrate the sensor pod, LtJG Gnai sends word towards its friend, Lt.Cdr. Salkath from Engineering to assist it, alongside a newly-boarded Ensign from Operations, Ens Bergmen. Faced with a mission alongside his senior officers, and feeling saddled with low expectations due to his youthful appearance, Ens Bergmen opts to be proactive in his task and summons a small team of enlisted specialists to aid them in their task. This backfires horrendously, however, as LtJG Gnai immediately dismisses the team of specialists to other, more pressing duties, while Lt.Cdr. Glim Vel - the new Chief of Operations - contacts Ens Bergmen on his communicator to reprimand him for the misstep.

Prepping Sickbay

While Cdr. Adea has gone to Secondary Sickbay to ensure that it's ready to handle any possible patient congestion during the course of the mission, he's left Assistant Chief Morgan and LtJG Sadar in charge of Primary Sickbay. The preparations proceed as according to specifications, with one minor holdup. Due to resource shortages following Frontier Day, the replication of the anti-radiation medication Hyronalyn is taking longer than usual, and they now have to find a way to mitigate the crew's exposure to the nebula's dangerous radiation until enough Hyronalyn can be replicated to inoculate everyone. To help assuage Sickbay's medicine shortage, Lt.Cdr. Dakora promises to negotiate with Lt.Cdr. Vel to make extra resources available for the replication, but this is only a temporary solution.
Since the protective effects of Hyronalyn only lasts for 50 hours, the Artemis is on an active time limit, unless the medical personnel can find a way to make their limited resources meet the continued need for anti-radiation medication while the Ship remains within the vicinity of the Celendi Nebula.
