Lael, Alex, Chythar and Dassa arrived on the planet, stunned to find the colony decimated by earthquakes | Lael, Alex, Chythar and Dassa arrived on the planet, stunned to find the colony decimated by earthquakes. They later found themselves in Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]]'s ready room checking in. During this meeting, Captain Rahman revealed that only 60% of the planets dome environments were sustainable and that the damage caused by the earthquakes was leading to overcrowding in the major population centers such as New Macau. They are interrupted by a call from the bridge. When they stepped out of the ready room and in front of the main viewer, they realized that an attack had happened. Buildings on the screen were up in flames. The Captain then ordered Alex and Lael to report to their posts in Engineering to begin working with Commander Walker. The name rang a bell for Lael, though she couldn't figure out why. She and Alex stepped onto the turbolift and headed for Engineering. | ||
Once in Engineering, they met with the Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Commander [[Luna Walker]], to develop a plan for rebuilding the destroyed structures on the planet. After some discussion, they decided to first repair enough existing domes to resolve the overcrowding issue before working on designs that would better withstand future natural disasters such as earthquakes. However, a chat with the captain revealed one more factor that they would have to contend with -- radiation from the use of antiproton beams to close the rifts causing the disasters. Though the mines hadn't been an option before, they looked to be their best hope of protecting the inhabitants from the radiation. After gathering the needed supplies (including a matter/antimatter generator for a power source), Lael, Alex, and Walker beamed down to the planet to begin exploring and stabilizing the mines. | Once in Engineering, they met with the Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Commander [[Luna Walker]], to develop a plan for rebuilding the destroyed structures on the planet.
