Randal Shayne/Professional History: Difference between revisions

{{Logo and Ship|USS Eagle|Intrepid}}

Distraught at this most abrupt transfer, Shayne arrived grumpy and miserable. Despite the enthusiasm surrounding him and the new position he had been assigned to, Shayne found it difficult to get into the spirit of the launch of his new vessel, the ''Eagle''. Arriving in the Aavaro Wilds, ''Eagle'' came across an alien starship which appeared to be engaged in humanitarian operations. The planet they orbited was suffering from an enormous and lethal plague, one that was decimating its population. Shayne, along with several other officers, was sent to the alien vessel, which belonged to a species known as the Mithgiln. While they began preliminary first contact procedures, information regarding the continued degradation of the planet below them. A dam, responsible for the containment of millions of gallons of seawater, was very near complete collapse. Its destruction would undoubtedly result in the death of thousands of planet inhabitants, who lived directly in harm's way. Paired with the humorous and playful Irina Pavlova, Shayne and a team of engineers beamed down to address the situation at the dam. Meanwhile, ''Eagle'' discovered the presence and interferance of cybernetic organsisms. These organisms, while not associated with the Borg, nevertheless possessed a hive mentality, and were, among other devious tasks, sabotaging the dam itself. While Pavlova dealt with the interlopers, Shayne noted that the dam was breaking, and would require an immediate solution. Quickly, he called for a slab of transparant aluminum to be lowered over the ever-growing crack in the dam. However, while a work bee was able to bring the slab down, placing it correctly, and then welding it on, would require two humanoids in diving suits. Shayne and Pavlova volunteered, and as Shayne worked to weld the slab in place, Pavlova fought off a number of enemy beings who had intercepted them. Both officers sustained fairly damaging injuries, and Shayne managed to have them both beamed to Sickbay, along with a tidal wave of seawater.
