Another shore leave had come to an end. And with that ending came with it ceremony, with awards and promotions. This one was no Different. RAdml Renos had called together the senior staff of both ships and his station together. There was Fleet Captain Nicholotti, Captain Zaekia, Commanders Varaan, Brell, Thomas, Rhyn, and R’Ven, Lieutenants Shayne, E’riQ, Cook, Pond, and Jora, Ensigns Kaidun, G’Renn, Logan and the new reporter Miss Eberhart all assembled around a rather large table.
However, the first thing announced was a few temporary reassignments due to computer problems aboard the Atlantis. Pond, Kaidun, and Jora would be posted to the station and everyone else would be on board the Blackwell. Then came then came the Promotion of Shayne from Lieutenant to Lt. Commander. From there Zaekia, Thomas, R’Ven, E’riQ, Cook, Jora, G’Renn and Kaidun were awarded the Maiden Voyage Ribbon. Not be left out the senior staff of the Atlantis: Rhyn, Brell, Shayne, Pond and Logan were awarded the Legacy Ribbon. And last but not least R’Ven and Pond were awarded the Trauma Support Advocate Ribbon, for their support and care during his ongoing rehabilitation of his arm. All of which was heavily applauded!
Once the promotions were over Zaekia quickly got his ship underway to Debin VII a small mining outpost run by one of the Freeworlds Mining Companies - Tinaldax Heavy Industries. The colony was under quarantine by the Freeworlds Navy due to an outbreak of an unknown plague. Attempts to break orbit by miners who claim to be unaffected by the plague and efforts to mine illegally were slowing efforts to find a cure. Meanwhile the Navy is preparing to destroy the planetoid to contain the outbreak and now their ship was not responding to hails and its orbit was beginning to decay. They miners asked the federation for help.
Quickly Zaekia deployed his people. Teams will be boarding the ship. Thomas, Logan and E'riQ were assigned to assess damage and restore the ship’s orbit while Zaekia, Brell, Varaan, and the newly arrived Ensign Thoran, were to deal with the crew. Meanwhile, Shayne, R’Ven and Doctors Cook and G’Renn were to beam down to the surface and look for clues as to the origin of the virus and find a cure.
Meanwhile back on Starbase 26 something very different was in the offing. A violent murder had taken place! The victim was a male Caraadian, called Bennan Matius who was married to a prominent Caraadian diplomat, Daedra Matius. Renos assigned Nicholotti, Eberhart, Kaidun, Pond and Kalis to investigate.
Mister Matius physically mutilated, his face slashed in a distinctive pattern and certain organs were removed. Adding to that is that no sign of how the killer or killers got in or out of the Matius residence can be discerned. The guards saw nothing, sensors around the residence recorded no heat signatures, life signs, or transporter signatures. On top of that the wife was clearly not there when it happened. It was truly a whodunit indeed!
