<div style="overflow: hidden;">{{LCARS-bar-heading|Act I|10|COLOR=linear-gradient(to right, #bd2421, #520d07)}}</div> | Following our previous classified mission and extended shore leave in the Sol system, the 'Oumuamua has passed back through the Bajoran Wormhole into the Gamma Quadrant. I am pleased to find, in the aftermath of [[Missing In Action (USS Oumuamua)|the loss of the USS Caboto]], that Starfleet has assigned a full task force to the Gamma Quadrant indefinitely. The Gamma Flotilla Expeditionary Task Force includes sixteen ships, and will operate in addition to the 'Oumuamua and other vessels assigned to the region. The [[United Dominion of Planets]] has apparently welcomed this force with open arms, and although the flotilla has yet to find a permanent base, I doubt such an establishment will be far behind. | ||
Our first mission back in the Gamma Quadrant will not see us directly involved with the flotilla, however, which for the moment is preparing to disembark from Port Coray. Our task is to respond to a distress call from a sapient species called the Esh-o. In fact the Esh-o approached the UDP first, but in an apparent gesture of goodwill, the UDP shared the call with us, and informed that the Esh-o that they had done so. Therefore, while the Esh-o are not yet warp-capable, they are aware of our presence and the UDP's, and so Admiral Egan Manno has informed me that the Prime Directive does not apply to this situation. Whether or not I agree with this assessment would seem, for the moment, to be immaterial. | |||
The Esh-o report a strange stellar event, thanks to the arrival of a phenomenon similar to a mobile nebula. This "micronebula" has engulfed the Esh-o's home system, and is causing chaos with communications, sensors, and shield systems. At least, that is the UDP's assessment, though I expect our experience will be similar. The micronebula's center is currently located near the system's fourth planet, and is nearly too dense to navigate -- though there is a strange and unidentifiable radio signal coming from this center. | |||
The 'Oumuamua has been dispatched to meet with the Esh-o. Although the Esh-o are not warp-capable, they have advanced sublight engines, and can easily outspeed any Starfleet vessel outside of subspace. As such, they have been running near-lightspeed courier services between the three inhabited planets, moons, and trade hubs in the system. No subspace signals can penetrate the micronebula, and since the initial distress call and the UDP's response, the Esh-o have been cut off from any external information -- which is, coincidentally, the most profitable commodity in the system. | |||
As the 'Oumuamua enters the system, I have commissioned three teams of senior officers, two that will leave the ship and one that will remain. I will remain with the 'Oumuamua, and I have asked Lieutenant Katsim and Ensign Herrick to join me on the bridge, with Doctor Kel remaining in Sickbay on standby. Our goal will to be understand the micronebula will all the sensors available to us, and from outside the dense center. | |||
The first shuttle team will set a course for the center and its strange radio signals. Commander Etan will lead this team, and he will have Ensign Dahlquist with him for science support. Should this team encounter anything untoward, I've also insisted that Etan take Lieutenant Richards and Ensign Tyber. | |||
The second shuttle team will interface with the Esh-o directly, and act alongside a courier to get a sense of their culture and the impacts to the same. Because the problem is so strongly based in an upset to standard systems, I have asked Lieutenant Corelli to take command, with Lieutenants Promontory and Kessler for support, and Junior Lieutenant Arlill as primarily pilot. I'm sure this team will learn everything we need to know about the Esh-o in order to fully understand the magnitude of their problem. | |||
Our goal is the successful research of this phenomena, along with the presentation to the Esh-o of a way to remove the micronebula from their solar system. I will update with additional mission details as they occur. | |||
