The USS Eagle went to yellow alert while in spacedock around Earth, as Starfleet had received a generic, automated distress signal and had asked the Eagle to investigate and respond. The Eagle immediately set course, left spacedock and after a few hours travel, arrived at their destination. The source of the distress signal (which was no longer being transmitted) was an unidentified ship, phasing in and out of observation. Shortly after arrival, the Eagle's warp core also began to phase and a team was dispatched to deal with the situation. | |||
Also approaching the unidentified ship was a bajoran vessel, transporting Kai Lan and her entourage of Vedeks. Their interest in the unidentified ship is currently unknown. At a similar time, Lieutenant Valentino collapsed and entered a dream-like state, where an unknown group/species tried to make contact with him. Though the exact meaning of their message remains unclear, it has been hypothesised that the group/species are somehow trapped and seeking information about their situation. | |||
Scans showed that the unidentified ship is a civilian freighter, with an transponder code that has the appropriate form, but is not registered in any database. A sudden electrical discharge was emitted from the freighter and struck the Eagle, lowering shield integrity and completing dropping them for a very short period. The freighter appeared to become solid at this point and life signs were detected aboard it, and their odd, fluctuating nature resulted in a hypothesis that they were the original crew, affected by the phasing. Shortly afterwards, a phasing intruder was detected in engineering trying to access a console, and a security team was dispatched. | |||
An away team (wearing EVA suits and phase stabilisers) beamed over to the Ghost Ship and began to explore. They discovered that there was no power to the Bridge, though neurogenic energy was detected in some of the hardware. Further exploration led them to a transporter room where five patterns were on an indefinite hold in the transporter buffer. The pattern was rematerialised and found to be Lieutenant Commander Walter Brunsig, who is suffering from amnesia about the circumstances that led him to the ship. | |||
Back aboard the Eagle, an attempt to telepathically contact the aliens went bad when they possessed Lieutenant Valentino. After knocking out the Chief Nurse and taking out a security team, he made his way to engineering and released a pulse of energy toward the Ghost Ship, damaging it. An attempt to contain Valentino using security fields was made, but the possessed Valentino was able to walk through them unhindered. | |||
