Mission Summary
Some miners have gone missing, and the general manager hasn't sent an investigative team to look into it. The Colonial Marshals have requested the assistance of the USS Veritas to look for them.
Act 1
Detective Sidney Ripley has joined forces with those of the USS Veritas to investigate the missing miners. Due to the amount of ground to cover, there are three teams assigned. Commander Mei'konda's team would go and speak with general manager Starit Proz about the disappearances. Lieutenant Commander Lael Rosek's team would be investigating the disappearance site, and Team 3 led by Commander Evan Delano's team would be looking into the questioning of witnesses, investigating homes and so forth.
- Team Mei'konda:
- Commander Mei'konda
- Commander Niccolò del Vedova
- Commander Kelrod
- Lieutenant Junior Grade T'Katt Dugoras
- Detective Sidney Ripley (Dugoras PNPC)
- Team Rosek:
- Lieutenant Commander Lael Rosek
- Lieutenant Commander Chythar Skyfire
- Lieutenant Commander Raissa Moonsong
- Ensign German Galven
- Ensign Valoru
- Crewman Recruit Tasnim Shandres (Rahman PNPC)
- Team Delano:
- Commander Evan Delano
- Lieutenant Commander Sky Blake
- Ensign J'vreh
- Ensign Lorian Lovar
In some sort of weird, helpful way, Mei'konda's team makes progress in questioning Mr. Proz about the missing miners. When investigating a mine, they find a dead body and proceed with a forensic investigation of the mines. Team Rosek splits off into three groups: Skyfire & Valoru, Rosek & Galven, Moonsong & Shandres. Skyfire & Valoru detect life ahead, beamed for their efforts, and leave behind a glowing beacon. Moonsong & Shandres come across it, searching from the opposite direction. They meet up with Rosek & Galven, and when Rosek attempts to check in to beam out, a transporter beam that doesn't belong to the Veritas takes the quartet away.
Act 2
While Lt. Commander Rosek's team is investigating the last known locations of the missing miners, they get attacked by the creatures and are kidnapped. Ensign German Galven is injured by a mine collapse while saving Lt. Commander Rosek. With some group effort, German survives his wounds. Ensign Valoru attacks a guard while Rosek is away dealing with negotiations with the Queen. His efforts prove worthwhile as he manages to grab a phaser rife from the unconscious guard.
When the Queen finds out what Valoru did, she orders her guards to go get him. While he's away, Ensign Galven, Doctor Skyfire, Lt. Commander Moonsong, and Crewman Shandres figure out a way to get a signal back to the ship by using the doctor's EARS device. When Rosek and Valoru are taken back, a much-needed signal boost is added by modifying the phaser rifle and it is successful.
Act 3
After Lt. Commander Rosek's team is safely back on board the ship, Captain Rahman decides to make contact with Tk'Ton, a forager and makes 2 teams. One that stays aboard the ship while her team goes to the surface and have peace talks with the newly discovered species. After some tense negotiations, she is successful and Tk'Ton goes and speaks with her own.
While on the Bridge, Mei'konda and his team search for any type of information regarding the what was taking place under the surface of the planet all the while keeping a watchful eye over Rahman's teams meeting with the species. They found a thoron field under Proz's facility that had several life forms. It was found out that Proz was keeping Orion women as services for him and his men. He was arrested for sentient trafficking among other things to be determined.
