 [[Quinn Reynolds|Reynolds]], [[Corliss Fortune|Fortune]] and [[Alieth]] explored the Pelian archaeology site identified as the source of the outbreak. After working their way through some of the buildings, they discovered a secret passage leading underground. Their decision to investigate it became a forced one after coming under attack from what seemed to be Romulans, pushed underground by the collapse of the building. At the base of the stairs, they discovered a room containing three statues/structures, and their investigation led to Reynolds becoming trapped in some kind of force field, nature unknown.
-The team's attempts to free her from the field led to them being knocked unconscious and transported to another location. The facility seems to be uninhabited and running on automated systems, and the team were ferried from their transport site into a decontamination room. From there, they discovered a vast chamber filled with stasis spheres, one of which is occupied by a Pelian woman who has multiple additional organs. Nearby personal belongings suggest it may be the missing Sylan.

 [[Jo Marshall]], [[Ayiana Sevo]], [[Piravao sh’Qynallahr]], [[Loxley]] assisted the [[Pelian|Pelians]] and the [[Romulan|Romulans]] in setting up a field hospital to cope with the current and expected victims of the illness. Shortly after they arrived, all kinds of chaos broke out; a Romulan workbee was sabotaged and caused a terrible accident, and shortly thereafter the hospital came under attack by unknown assailants.

 After fighting off the attack, the team decided to try to lure the data thief/saboteur back in by sending a false transmission to the Gorkon. The plan succeeded and they captured the saboteur, discovering he had an implanted Pelian organ, infected with the disease. They were unable to discover more, as the “Red Lady” burst in and vaporised his unconscious body before collapsing herself. The team finds the Red Lady has been extensively altered through surgery, with the organs and limbs of different species grafted to her. Evidence on her boots led the team to a facility below the hospital, where surgeries have been conducted...
-[[Samira Neathler]], [[Cory Stoyer]], [[Tahna Meru]] investigated the murder of Bisul, an important figure in the Pelian’s religious structure. Their first stop was his study, where they determined Bisul had died from cardiac arrhythmia brought on by hyperkalemia, a known physiological weakness of Pelians. Investigating his library led to a brush with a force field, and the discovery of a note and an access token, as well as access to a hidden cave garden beneath the residence. Inside, they found more secrets; a scroll locked in a case submerged in the pond. As they left the cavern, they ran into the tail end of an assault on [[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Agent Lynas]], losing his attacker courtesy of a flashbang and a rapid retreat. After waking, [[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Agent Lynas]]revealed a secret he had been keeping; his wife Sylan was having an affair with Bisul... and now she’s missing.

-Returning to the [[Federation Security|FedSec HQ]], the team carried out research and discovered the murder “weapon”, a poison derived from a local mushroom the Pelians had tried to eradicate from the planet. The leads pointed them toward several meeting places of Sylan and Bisul—but while en route, the team’s public transport suffered a bombing attack. After being joined by [[Lephi]] and gathering their wits, the team headed toward a favourite restaurant of the adulterous couple. There was no sign of Sylan there, and the team contacted [[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Agent Lynas]]who asked them to meet him in a house on Sallu’um Street. Their journey briefly interrupted by threatening figures, they arrived at their location to discover an unconscious and bound [[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Agent Lynas]]—and shortly thereafter, two more people, one of whom seems to be Bisul...

 [[Jona ch'Ranni]], [[Serren Tan]] and [[Mallora Vossti]] descended below the surface to search for a group of missing Starfleet cadets. After encountering some radiation readings and potential evidence of the cadet’s passage, they got into a spot of bother. First, they narrowly avoided being crushed in a rockfall, then they were attacked by unknown assailants and forced to retreat by diving through a body of water. Their route took them into the same city as the lost cadets, and the trio began to explore the first building they encountered.

 * '''Locate the source/cure for the Pelian disease in the underground facility'''
 ** Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]], Lieutenants [[Alieth]] and [[Corliss Fortune]].
+Exploring the underground ruins, Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]], Lieutenants [[Alieth]] and [[Corliss Fortune]] discovered several pods containing strange liquids, with samples of the virus affecting the [[Pelian]] inside. In one of the stasis spheres they discovered the missing [[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Sylan]], still alive, but who had undergone several genetic modifications, such as the duplication of several organs. With her body under stress due to these procedures, but sedated and stable, the group decided to leave the Pelian there, along with [[Alieth]]'s combadge, to be rescued later, once they had secured a way out of the ruins.
+They advanced carefully, finding more spheres from one of which they were able to extract a base of the disease afflicting the natives in a tempered form, which could be used to create a cure and a vaccine. With this data well in hand, the group set out on their way in search of a way out, with the proper precautions to be taken given that there were signs that they were not alone in those ruins, or at least that someone had been there shortly before them.
+Eventually, they found a cave-in in one of the more distant sections of the science complex which, ascending, led them to the hospital where their comrades were located. The two teams quickly caught up, and set to work on a cure for the Pelian disease.
