TRANSFER TO THE VERITAS

Lael, Chythar, Alex, and Dassa all shared quarters on the Runabout Yahtzee enroute to Antor II, where the Veritas sat in orbit awaiting their arrival. Anjar Thoran and Greywin Fergus had taken Madeline Young, Lael's ward, ahead along with Liara (Anjar's daughter) to get settled in while the four friends had waited for medical clearance to travel. Alex took the opportunity to clear the air with both Chythar and Lael respectively. The four friends relaxed and talked, enjoying each other's company for a short time before each went off to their own respective space. Shortly before landing, Lael goes to the runabout's mess for a cup of tea, unable to sleep. Chythar joins her and she wishes him a happy birthday, then gives him his gift: a video of Maddy presenting her science project for him. She reveals that the video played a big part of her decision to bring Maddy to the Veritas with them.

AFTERSHOCK

Lael, Alex, Chythar and Dassa arrived on the planet, stunned to find the colony decimated by earthquakes. They later found themselves in Captain Roshanara Rahman's ready room checking in. During this meeting, Captain Rahman revealed that only 60% of the planets dome environments were sustainable and that the damage caused by the earthquakes was leading to overcrowding in the major population centers such as New Macau. They are interrupted by a call from the bridge. When they stepped out of the ready room and in front of the main viewer, they realized that an attack had happened. Buildings on the screen were up in flames. The Captain then ordered Alex and Lael to report to their posts in Engineering to begin working with Commander Walker. The name rang a bell for Lael, though she couldn't figure out why. She and Alex stepped onto the turbolift and headed for Engineering.

Once in Engineering, they met with the Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Commander Luna Walker, to develop a plan for rebuilding the destroyed structures on the planet. After some discussion, they decided to first repair enough existing domes to resolve the overcrowding issue before working on designs that would better withstand future natural disasters such as earthquakes. However, a chat with the captain revealed one more factor that they would have to contend with -- radiation from the use of antiproton beams to close the rifts causing the disasters. Though the mines hadn't been an option before, they looked to be their best hope of protecting the inhabitants from the radiation. After gathering the needed supplies (including a matter/antimatter generator for a power source), Lael, Alex, and Walker beamed down to the planet to begin exploring and stabilizing the mines.

When a member of Commander Kelrod's team arrived with the antimatter Alex needed for the antimatter reactor, Walker suggested Alex and Lael go retrieve it. However, they weren't completely out of the mine before something caused a cave-in. While Lael and Alex were fortunate to be on the side not cut off from the entrance, Walker wasn't so lucky. Alex and Lael called to the ship to report the situation.
