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.

On the Bridge

It is never quiet in the Borderlands, Mister Silveira.

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... Despite their hopes that the Tritorian is located elsewhere, Fleet Cpt. MacKenzie commands her crew to guide the Artemis towards Ura Neteos III, and soon enough, Lt.Cdr. Jovenan is able to locate the crashed vessel on the surface of the Class M planet while also confirming what was already known about the native population: pre-industrialization, with only simple infrastructure available to them.

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. Resaddling after the unfortunate beginning to his first work duty aboard the USS Artemis-A, Ens Bergmen assists his two senior officers with recalibrating the sensor grid to better achieve results through the heavy radiation of the Celendi Nebula, and while the environmental complications provided by the nebula initially hinder their efforts, their creative thinking soon enables them to make the necessary alterations. While Lt.Cdr. Salkath evaluates the Ensign's performance, LtJG Gnai gets in touch with the Bridge to confirm the succesful completion of their task.

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 LT 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. Cdr. Adea returns to Sickbay, sending Assistant Chief Morgan to be in charge of the Secondary Sickbay in his absence, while touching base with LT Sadar. The Mizarian Doctor - despite her anxious demeanor - assures him that they'll be able to find a solution for their resource shortage, and while encouraged by his junior officer's promise, orders her to start the necessary preparations for non-essential personnel redeployment. No reason to expose the crew to any more radiation than absolutely necessary, after all.

Security Standards

Things have potentially been made substantially more complicated for us, Mr. Solas.

In Security, LT Savel locates his junior officer, Ens Kel to start a briefing concerning the impending mission. Due to a lack of information, the two Security Officers attempt to form a base strategy that would be appropriate for a standard search-and-rescue op, when LT Savel receives a communication from the command staff that complicates matters. Facing the possibility of heading down to a pre-warp civilization to exfiltrate a crashed crew without violating the Prime Directive, is, after all, far from standard.
