Teaser

The Artemis was dispatched to the Da'al homeworld to assist with relief efforts following a meteor impact, which left approximately 10,000 Da'al dead and thousands more wounded and/or unhomed.

Plot Summary

After receiving orders from Starfleet, the Artemis arrived at the Da'al homeworld, responding to a meteor impact. The damage was catastrophic, so the newly minted CO, Commander Addison MacKenzie established three response teams:

• Team Leader: Commander Adea
  • Location: Palace of Culture in the Provincial Capital
  • Da'al Contact: Jiah Kleebohn, Disaster Response Coordinator
  • Objective: Render any needed aid at the makeshift triage center
  • Team Members:
    • Lieutenant Silveira
    • Ensign Jovenan
    • Ensign Kag
• Team Leader: Commander Yalu
  • Location: Impact crater ("ground zero")
  • Da'al Contact: Kef’in Dari, Meteorologist
  • Objective: Mitigate infrastructural damage
  • Team Members:
    • Lieutenant Yellir
    • Lieutenant Osuna
    • Ensign Jones
• Team Leader: Commander MacKenzie
  • Location: tbd
  • Da'al Contact: Erbil, Interim Secretary for External Relations
  • Objective: Meet with External Relations Minister to smooth politics of Starfleet aid
  • Team Members:
    • Lieutenant Sydin
    • Lieutenant Dakora

Team Adea:

Upon beaming down, the team met Jiah Kloobohn, a Da'al female clearly out of her depth, but trying to manage everything. After a brief tour of the area, a distressed Da'al male named Dusan Tornahd appeared, frantic and clearly seeking something. Kleebohn told Tornahd in no uncertain terms that he was not permitted in the area before having to dash off to deal with a disturbance. Tornahd, still somewhat skittish, ran off toward another group, leaving the Artemis team alone to discuss the situation before Kleebohn's return.

Team Yalu:

Commander Yalu's team opted to take a shuttle from the Artemis to the meteorite impact site. Once they'd landed and disembarked, the group was "greeted" by Kef'in Dari. Dari was curt in his appraisal of the group, but seemed competent in his own way. After setting the away team the task of erecting a barrier to cordon off the area, Dari went to discuss other matters with his colleagues while Ensign Jones ran off to establish a transporter site for incoming wounded with the triage center.

Team MacKenzie:

Commander MacKenzie's team met with the Interim Secretary for External Relations - one Erbil. Erbil escorted the away team to a private chamber shortly after their arrival, in order to have a closed-door conversation. The Da'al man requested they Starfleet officers appear before the Great Council in order to expose the Interim Security Minister as a member of a faction whose aim it was to undermine the Da'al government through the assassination of him, the Interim Prime Minister, and anyone else who opposed their brand of government reform. Secretary Erbil had pressed a button before divulging this information that he thought to be one which would give them absolute privacy. He quickly (but not soon enough) noticed the button he pushed was the wrong one. He left the room briefly to assess the situation, and when he returned conceded that appearing before the Great Council would be "too formal," instead suggesting the away team meet with various factions in smaller meetings, where they could convey needs with which the offworlders might be able to assist.

Jiah Kleebohn

Simmed by: Hiro Jones

• MSNPC name: Jiah Kleebohn (JIE-uh KLEE-bahn)
• Age: 28 (Terran equivalent)
• Sex: Female
• Height: 185 cm (6' 1")
• Appearance:
  • Skin: Dark gray (almost slate - one of the darkest shades on Da'al) skin with reddish undertones
  • Eyes: silvery eyes with flecks of purple
  • Hair: mid-back length black hair that opalescens purple in the right light
  • Carriage: Graceful, but direct (young mom that's trying desperately to hold on to her dancer's grace vibes)
  • Job: Disaster Response Coordinator, Humanitarian Relief
• Bio: Jia Kleebohn was born and raised in the mountains in the southernmost reaches of Da'al. By the time she was 15, it was clear she had a rare gift for dance. She moved lithely and fluidly whenever she moved, but never more than when she danced. She met the love of her life (Telin) in her last year at university, both studying social engineering. They were married a year after graduating, and shortly after had a child (Yarulia). Over the next five years, Jiah advanced within the governmental system, relocating closer and closer to the capital city of Vman with each promotion. At the time of the meteor impact, she was 5th in line for the top seat of her department, and as such lived just outside Vman. All 4 of her superiors in the department were either killed or gravely injured in the disaster, leaving Jiah to spearhead the aid response.
• Miscellany:
  • Likes: Terran chocolate, being on/near water, instrumental music - especially stringed instruments, spending time with her family
  • Dislikes: Alcohol, the thought of space travel (it's the endlessness for her), strong acrid smells (like smoke)
  • Triggers: loud animal noises (barking, braying, etc) make her jump every time and put her on edge for hours afterward.

Erbil

Simmed by: Yogan Yalu

• MSNPC name: Erbil
• Date of birth: 233404.15 (65)
• Species: Da’al
• Gender: Male
• Hair color: Black
• Eye color: Brown
• Height: 178 cm
• Bio: Erbil is the Da’al interim secretary for external relations, the equivalent of a foreign minister. Since the Da’al stridently hold to a policy of non-alignment, there’s not much for Erbil and his underfunded, understaffed office to do. Most of his job consists of sending automated messages that say things like, “Not at this time,” or “We shall advise if circumstances change.” Due to the Da’al’s lack of formal diplomatic relations with most interstellar polities, Erbil also functions as de facto ambassador-to-everywhere. Erbil is a perpetually nervous, hand wringing government bureaucrat. He is the Da’al embodiment of the Peter Principle (that employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another). He has reached the level at which he is no longer competent, but is hell bent on no one finding out, as he is close to retirement.

Dusan Tornahd

Simmed by: Talos Dakora

• MSNPC Name: Dusan Tornahd
• Age: 41 (Terran equivalent)
• Sex: Male
• Height: 175 cm (5' 9")
• Body Type: Average
• Relationship Status: Longterm Partnership
• Family: A spouse:Kyin (female), a son: Ari (12yo) and a daughter:Yiny (14yo)
• Skin: Silvery gray
• Eyes: Light Grey
• Hair: Shoulder length but typically kept in a top knot.
• Carriage: Lumbering, Tired, Downbeat
• Job: Regional Logistics Coordinator for a Large Machine-Tooling Manufacturer.
• Bio: Dusan holds a thankless middle-management position at Turyon Heavy Industries. He has clawed his way up the corporate ladder and has risen probably as high as he will ever manage. With hard work and sacrifice, Dusan has managed to eke out a comfortable life in what equates to the suburbs of Tecra. He cares deeply for his children but is trying to come to terms with a growing feeling of distance from his spouse. Away on a business trip to Vdam when the meteor struck, he arrives on the outskirts of the city to learn that his house was within the impact zone. The whereabouts and status of his family are unknown.

Kef’in Dari

Simmed by: Ashli Sydin

• MSNPC Name: Kef’in Dari
• Age: 30s (Terran equivalent)
• Sex: Male
• Height: 6’ 9”
• Relationship Status: has a relationship with his virtual assistant but has to reset it every few months because even the AI gets fed up with his crap
• Family: a sister infinitely more successful than he is
• Skin: Silvery gray
• Eyes: Light Gray
• Hair: Gray
• Job: Team Leader - Science - Meteorologist
• Bio: At first glance, Kef’in is perceived as charming. He knows how to read the room and to ingratiate himself with the most important individuals. After graduating university with mediocre grades, his career progressed unnaturally quickly and he found himself leading a team of meteorologist in one of the leading meteorology institutes. His team did not alert anyone of the impeding meteor. Maybe they didn’t know. Maybe someone miscalculated something. It’s a mystery.
