* '''Stardate 239104''' | * '''Stardate 239104''' | ||
The crew of the [[USS Garuda]] traveled to [[Zeta Equulei system|Zeta Equulei]], a K-class star, to meet the two rival alien races of the [[Community]] and the [[Myr Luuk]]s. Both races were quite unusual in appearance. The Community were comprised of one collective consciousness, who used plant-like avatars to communicate with the Starfleet officers. Meanwhile, the Myr Luuks were giant furred centipede-like beings, whose chosen form of communication was to project holograms mimicking the ''Garuda'' crew members themselves. | The crew of the [[USS Garuda]] traveled to [[Zeta Equulei system|Zeta Equulei]], a K-class star, to meet the two rival alien races of the [[Community]] and the [[Myr Luuk]]s.

Meanwhile, Captain Egan Manno kept her remaining crew upon the Stardrive section of the Garuda, waiting to assist either of the Away Teams. However, whilst doing a system check, Chief [[Rahman, Roshanara|Rahman]] and Ensign [[Rawlings, Griffon|Rawlings]] discovered some damage and potential sabotage in engineering conduits of the Garuda. Soon after, strange disembodied voices started taunting the crew as the Stardrive section was pulled towards a 'void' in space, where many Myr Luuk and Community space ships were found drifting and derelict - a veritable ship's graveyard! | Meanwhile, Captain Egan Manno kept her remaining crew upon the Stardrive section of the Garuda, waiting to assist either of the Away Teams.

* '''Stardate 239105''' | |||
The crew of the [[USS Garuda]] found themselves between a rock and a hard place during their mission to the [[Zeta Equulei system]] where the [[Community]] and the [[Myr Luuk]]s were hostile neighbours. | |||
[[Ross, Harrison|Commander Ross]]'s away team visited the home moon of the Community and discovered a complex base in the course of their discussions that was probably left from an older race, as the Community didn't possess the technology necessary to construct the structure. As part of the negotiations, Lts. [[Delano, Evan|Delano]] and [[Mei'konda]] and Ambassador [[Ventu, Lily|Ventu]] willingly underwent a mind merge with the Confluence (the Community’s hive brain) where they discovered a link between with the even more ancient and mysterious [[Menthar]] race that once inhabited this region of space: The Menthar had uplifted the pre-warp Community to be an aggressive race that could fight on their behalf. After the disappearance of the Menthar, the Community continued along this developmental path. | |||
Meanwhile, the Garuda’s saucer section under Lt. Cmdr. [[Calderan, Nia|Calderan]] was hosting a delegation of Myr Luuks. However, a renegade on board had plans to scupper the meeting. They murdered an ensign to gain control of a shuttlecraft, and launched it on a collision course with the alien escort vessels, destroying one upon impact. This brought the Myr Luuks and the Community to the brink of war. | |||
To remove themselves from making the situation any worse, Captain [[Egan Manno, Cassandra|Egan Manno]] decided to reunite the saucer and stardrive sections and withdraw the USS Garuda from the Zeta Equulei system. However, it must be noted that the Myr Luuks – unsatisfied with the Federations overtures, began negotiations with the [[Cardassian]]s soon after. Before the Garuda arrived back at [[Deep Space 10|DSX]], Commanders [[Rahman, Roshanara|Rahman]] and [[Core, Tristam|Core]] discovered that a nest of DSX’s rogue spider-drones had been making a new home in the Garuda’s plasma conduits. The nest was excised quickly and the crew began shore leave on DSX, though there remained several loose ends to tie up. | |||
