Unbeknownst to the rest of the [[USS_Excalibur-A|Excalibur's]] crew, [[Addison_MacKenzie|Commander MacKenzie]] received a cryptic message from an unknown source, informing her of possible information about the poisoning in the previous mission. Confiding the communication with [[Talos_Dakora|Lieutenant Dakora]], the two officers agreed to meet with the sender covertly in an attempt to maintain the trust already extended, and find some answers to the attack. Taking the retired Maquis raider, the MV Daisy, from DS-224, they set off toward K-7. After a few days' travel, they arrive at K-7, but are captured by a group of hostile Klingons in the station's cargo bay. When MacKenzie and Dakora regained consciousness, they found themselves in a very small room or container. It wasn't until after Dakora was dragged away and tortured in an attempt to extract the Excalibur's security codes they learned the box in which they were being held was in fact aboard the MV Daisy. Fortunately for the pair, the Intelligence Officer had installed a "back door" access to the Daisy's voice command protocols. Commander MacKenzie used the override to activate the cargo arm to raise the makeshift prison and drop it repeatedly, resulting in a broken arm for her but more to their purpose: a broken container. The two were able to escape their cell, but currently remain in danger of being found by the Klingon force currently in control of the Daisy. | Unbeknownst to the rest of the [[USS_Excalibur-A|Excalibur's]] crew, [[Addison_MacKenzie|Commander MacKenzie]] received a cryptic message from an unknown source, informing her of possible information about the poisoning in the previous mission.

Crawling away from the cargo hold of the Daisy, MacKenzie and Dakora made their way as silently as possible through a ventilation/maintenance duct to the communications room in the Daisy, where Commander MacKenzie | Crawling away from the cargo hold of the Daisy, MacKenzie and Dakora made their way as silently as possible through a ventilation/maintenance duct to the communications room in the Daisy, where Commander MacKenzie managed to send a message to the Excalibur, though they were uncertain if the message was received - or even successfully sent. After completing this task, MacKenzie and Dakora proceeded through the ductwork until they came to the ''Daisy's'' galley. Hoping to find something they could use as a weapon, they instead found one of the occupying Klingons. Dakora swung down from the duct, neutralizing the enemy silently and efficiently. On him, they found a hand phaser and a dagger. Now armed, such as the armaments were, they turned their attentions to retaking the ship. | ||

Ensign [[Jovenan]] contacted Ensign [[Kawarda]] to begin running scans in Astrometrics of the area surrounding K-7 when their comm line was severed by the blast. Using the diminished computer capacity following the explosion, Kawarda initiated the scans before determining the most likely place for Jovenan to have been trapped and coming to aid her release. Once freed, the acting department lead joined the Vulcan, thereby doubling their research efforts in the hope of providing something useful for the bridge team to act upon. | Ensign [[Jovenan]] contacted Ensign [[Kawarda]] to begin running scans in Astrometrics of the area surrounding K-7 when their comm line was severed by the blast.

With the communications down, both the science team and the bridge crew employ the isolated comms systems of the shuttlecraft. In the case of the bridge crew, the shuttle was used as a carrier for the comms channel, allowing the Commodore to communicate with the team in Engineering, who were frantically working to assess and mitigate the cascading systems failures. The science team decided to use the onboard communications array of a shuttle to decode two intercepted messages. | |||
