Both Sides Now (Artemis): Difference between revisions

Following an extremely brief and one-sided altercation with the World Ender - where the Starfleet vessel obliterates the behemoth with barely a scratch for its troubles - the crew of the ''Desdemona'' are brought on board the USS ''Artemis'' to rest and recuperate before an eventual return to their own universe. While there, they face some uncomfortable truths, engage in social niceties with their counterparts from this galaxy (some more succesfully than others), and to some, the possibility of retiring to somewhere peaceful in this Shint-free galaxy is almost too great a temptation to pass up. As the days pass and their impending return to their own reality approaches, one thing, however, remains clear: the crew of the ''Artemis'' is willing to repair the ''Desdemona'' and see to the physical health of its crew, but they refuse to aid in the conflict with the Shint in any way, effectively deciding to send their counterparts to their doom back in their original reality. Colonel MacKenzie refuses to accept this and announces the details of their next mission to her closest senior staff: The hijacking of the USS ''Artemis''. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/CF-DEwaQ2mU ''Plan of Action''], Colonel Addison MacKenzie, SD 240010.16</ref>
