===REDEMPTION=== | |||
At the end of shore leave (240004) John receives a call from Ensign Leynen about a freighter crew wanting to meet up with him. | |||
As he arrives at the Landing Zone of Denali Station, he finds The Wanderer, an old Aerie-class vessel, heavily damaged. Moa, The Wanderer's first mate, reveals they were attacked by Orion pirates. Unfortunately, captain Hennessey got killed. | |||
As John inquires why the Orions attacked them, Moa tells him how Hennessey had agreed to smuggle weapons from Lightside Station to Mumford Colony in exchange for evidence of John and Moa's innocence regarding the death of Martuf. Apparently, the Orions got wind of their cargo and decided to steal it from them. | |||
John wants to confiscate their cargo, since it is an illegal transport, but Moa stops him from doing so as she tells him that if they don't deliver their shipment, there will be a bounty on the crew's heads. | |||
As John realizes the crew got into this mess because of his actions at Lightside Station almost two years ago, he knows he has a moral obligation to help the crew of The Wanderer – even if it means going against every rule he swore to uphold as a Starfleet officer. | |||
With T'Lea gone, John has no one else to confide in. Unable to find a way to help The Wanderer in his capacity as the Station's Chief of Security, he decides to file for a leave of absence, not knowing if he would (or could) ever return to Denali or Starfleet. | |||
After undergoing the necessary repairs, The Wanderer sets course for Mumford Colony, with John occupying the captain's chair. | |||
As they arrive at Mumford Colony, John and Brikane beam down to the planet's surface, only to find that the Colony is seemingly deserted. Suddenly, they are attacked by Kalari soldiers and captured, while The Wanderer is overtaken by Kalari destroyers. | |||
In captivity, John and Brikane are interrogated by Ka Adillo, the Kalari general. After revealing their identity as freighter crew members and not Starfleet officers, they are taken to a fenced perimeter, where they are reunited with Moa and Tolena. | |||
At Kalari Headquarters, Ka Adillo discusses terraforming plans with his scientists. The soldiers inform him that they are ready to proceed, and Ka Adillo expresses his determination to eliminate the Federation presence on the planet. | |||
John and his crew discover a deadly disruption field inside the fenced perimeter where they are being held, and quickly surmise that it's a machine to vaporize the colonists en masse. They quickly formulate a plan to distract the Kalari prison guards so Tolena can reprogram the deadly machine, turning it into a transporter. They successfully execute their plan and as the villagers are beamed over to The Wanderer, John and Brikane stay behind to hold off the Kalari soldiers. | |||
With the colonists safely aboard the ship, John and Brikane are the last ones to materialize in The Wanderer's cargo bay. Moa sets a course away from Mumford Colony, narrowly evading the pursuing Kalari destroyers. | |||
The crew offers John command of The Wanderer, fulfilling Hennessey's final wish. The adventure prompts him to reevaluate his life and career, leading him to decide to stay aboard, hoping it will provide him with additional time to figure out his next steps in life. | |||
