Attack on Paldor II: Stardate 240111.03 - Present

The USS Chin'toka, en route back from Earth to their home port of DS26, receives a distress call from the lunar base on Paldor reporting a Valcarian attack.

Act One: First Responders

The Bridge Crew

The Bridge

Once the Chin'toka arrives in the Paldor system, the crew breaks up into teams and Captain Serala remains on the bridge with Lt JG Ghee’looth Xiron, Ensign T'Khio'ri, and is joined by Counselor Brodie. They speculate on the motivations of the attack and the possible involvement of multiple Romulan factions on both sides of the Valcarian civil war while trying to raise the local authorities. Ensign T'Khio'ri implements a program Captain Serala had previously written to detect cloaked ships in the Expanse and discovers five of them waiting some distance away, laying in wait. The bridge establishes contact with the governor of the Paldor, High Prefect Ariele Rolus, and with the commander of the lunar base forces, Commander Janesh Odelle. The Chin'toka raises shields, cutting off transporter support to the away teams, and moves to engage the Valcarian battlecruiser either in combat or diplomacy.

Search & Rescue Away Team

Deep Space 26

Commander Sherlock's hand picked team beams aboard the heavily damaged Deep Space 26 and start heading away from the collapsed section that blocks one direction on high alert with Mac taking point and Sherlock bringing up the rear. After several interruptions for status reports from the other teams, they finally find their first survivor - an unconscious Caraadian buried under a pile of debris. After digging them out and tagging them for transport to the triage area, Mac is spooked by something with a tail. It moves off into the station, but the fear factor ramps up again when they find a rotting body - which T'Ama doesn't think makes a whole lot of sense given the timeline of the attack.

In a science lab full of floating bodies due to a damaged gravity generator, the search and rescue team find a little Caraadian girl called Dedanna who survived the attack by hiding in a locker after her father Yuldor hid her there. The team beams her to a hopefully safer location on the Lunar base. The team then discovers a hidden safe room and opens it up where they are confronted by two armed Caraadians, but before they can resolve that situation the something-with-a-tail is back and attacks! It pins Mac and almost does him in but he is saved by Commander Sherlock shooting it dead. T'Ama organizes the 48 survivors in the safe room while the rest of the team examine the corpse of the animal, and the survivors are then transported to the triage team.

Shortly afterwards the search and rescue team run into Subcommander Oni Tarn, the commander of DS26 and they take him with them as they are now cut off from transporters. They find an elevator bank and Tarn mentions there was a ship docked at the station before the attack that contained a number of dangerous wild animals intended for a "hunt" that are now likely loose on the station. The team crams into the elevator and before they can make it all the way up to the command level the lift breaks down. T'Ama helps everyone out of the top of the car and they start climbing up the elevator shaft. Mac shoots the cables holding the car and it plummets to the bottom of the shaft after a large, aggressive insectoid claws its way in to the car. Sherlock directs T'Ama, Mac, and Tarn to continue on to the command center and turn on what they can, and Sherlock and Kim will stay a level below to deal with the creatures.

Triage Away Team

Paldor II Lunar Base

Dr. Kel and Dr. Edrei meet Lt JG Is'Kah in transporter room 1 and are quickly joined by two new officers, Lt Commander Starlyn and Ensign Shepherd. They beam down to and unpopulated are of the Paldor II Lunar Base and find it was unpopulated for good reason. Before they can even get the radiation leak fixed and their triage area set up, the ceiling collapses without warning, trapping Ensign Shepherd. The rest of the team makes their way around and digs her out before finally getting to work on the set up. Lt JG Is'Kah gets a nasty electrical burn to her hand fixing the radiation leak but powers through the inability to feel or use her hand.

Dr. Kel finally manages to herd his team of cats into staying in the room and setting up the triage area and they start receiving patients via transporter and walk in. The first patient received from the search and rescue team was unfortunately Dr. Edrei's first death, which the junior offices take hard, especially Ensign Shepherd who punches the walls twice in anger. But they all quickly move on to treating the influx of people seeking medical attention, and Dr. Kel makes the alarming discovery of maggot like creatures on a patient, much the same as the maggots on the rotting bodies the search and rescue team encountered. Ensign Shepherd discovers that the maggots are actually a genetically modified bioweapon, and the symptoms of infection seem to primary cause multiple organ failure. Lt. JG Is'Kah quickly programs the portable transporters to filter out the maggots as the doctors continue to treat patients.
