 === Team Adea: ===
-Upon beaming down, the team met Jiah Kloobohn, a Da'al female clearly out of her depth, but trying to manage everything. After a brief tour of the area, a distressed Da'al male named Dusan Tornahd appeared, frantic and clearly seeking something. Kleebohn told Tornahd in no uncertain terms that he was not permitted in the area before having to dash off to deal with a disturbance. Tornahd, still somewhat skittish, ran off toward another group, leaving the Artemis team alone to discuss the situation before Kleebohn's return. When she returned, somewhat more level-headed, the team had begun setting up support supplies. With Kleebohn's guidance and the assistance of a couple Da'al support workers, they set to work establishing a distribution center for the new supplies.

+As supply distribution stations were being finalized, a crowd of Da'al civilians began moving toward the away team, clearly agitated. Kleebohn, already growing impatient with the team, was nearing the tipping point. When she'd just about lost control of the situation, Silveira steps forward, gathers the attention of the crowd<ref>https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/JZu-5L-UhDg/m/mdeGZULVAgAJ</ref> in order to assert some kind of order to the distribution of supplies. Once this is moving, Kleebohn pulled Commander Adea aside and accused him and the team of everything from negligence to deliberate interference in relief efforts.
 === Team Yalu: ===
 Commander Yalu's team opted to take a shuttle from the Artemis to the meteorite impact site. Once they'd landed and disembarked, the group was "greeted" by Kef'in Dari. Dari was curt in his appraisal of the group, but seemed competent in his own way. After setting the away team the task of erecting a barrier to cordon off the area, Dari went to discuss other matters with his colleagues while Ensign Jones ran off to establish a transporter site for incoming wounded with the triage center.
-After about an hour's work setting up a forcefield safety barrier, a Da'al man appeared: bedraggled and in search of his family. The man introduced himself as Dusan Tornahd.

The team went with Tornahd to Ertas Square - the only location Tornahd could think to look for his family. While there, Tornahd's partner was found dead, partially buried under the rubble of a shop, but no trace was found of his two children.
+In the near distance, the team saw a small but growing knot of people. Their growing agitation had kicked up a cloud of dust, which rather than dissipating in the breeze, was coalescing and beginning to pulsate with increased frequency, mirroring energy signatures detected by Lieutenant Yellir.
 === Team MacKenzie: ===
 Commander MacKenzie's team met with the Interim Secretary for External Relations - one Erbil. Erbil escorted the away team to a private chamber shortly after their arrival, in order to have a closed-door conversation. The Da'al man requested they Starfleet officers appear before the Great Council in order to expose the Interim Security Minister as a member of a faction whose aim it was to undermine the Da'al government through the assassination of him, the Interim Prime Minister, and anyone else who opposed their brand of government reform. Secretary Erbil had pressed a button before divulging this information that he thought to be one which would give them absolute privacy. He quickly (but not soon enough) noticed the button he pushed was the wrong one. He left the room briefly to assess the situation, and when he returned conceded that appearing before the Great Council would be "too formal," instead suggesting the away team meet with various factions in smaller meetings, where they could convey needs with which the offworlders might be able to assist.
-After Lt Sydin transported back to the ''Artemis'', MacKenzie and Dakora remained to continue discussions with Erbil. After a short time, Lt Dakora picked up on a shift in the conversational tone. What had started as a simple request for help post-catastrophe had turned to a request to intervene/interfere with internal politics, but was rapidly growing more hostile than was warranted.

When the tension had reached a tipping point, Dakora sought to restore calm with a bracing slap. This was responded to by a double slap from Erbil. Calm now ''somewhat'' restored, the trio heard phaser fire from outside. After investigating, it looked as though the Gendarmerie was firing on a civilian mob - both unprecedented in Da'al society.
