Randal Shayne/Professional History: Difference between revisions

Shortly after the conclusion of the last mission, the ''Eagle'' was tasked with a simple milkrun- delivering bio-neural gel packs to the far-flung colony of Saldhana. The unusual and violent nature of the atmosphere of Saldhana made the gel packs necessary, as no antimatter devices could function due to the magnetic interference to be found there. Upon the delivery of the packs, a large storm forced ''Eagle'' to prepare for take off quickly. Just before the ship launched, a member of the colony desperately chased down the ship and begged to be let aboard. Suddenly, a cataclysmic explosion destroyed the colony, and ejected ''Eagle'' into orbit. Despite suffering serious damage, primary systems were restored. An almost immediate hail from Starbase 821's Admiral Byrn Valcose brought chaos. In a single message, Oddas was unfairly relieved of duty. The admiral was convinced that Oddas was the cause of the destruction. Shayne was placed in command, and grudgingly obeyed the order. Oddas was escorted to the brig as the investigation into what had caused the explosion continued. Eventually, evidence of tampering became apparant, and Valcose's attempts to stall their efforts grew suspicious. Soon, Valcose was the primary suspect to the ''Eagle'' crew. Marines were detached from the starbase to take command of the ship, but more significant problems- namely, an infestation of Altarian spider birds- convinced the two teams to work together. Soon, the leader of the marines was convinced that it was Valcose behind the incidents of spider birds and the explosion of the colony on Saldhana. Now targeting ''Eagle'', "Valcose'' revealed himself to be a deep cover operative of the Obsidian Order, abandoned when the organization fell thirty years ago. Desperate to complete his mission, he had taken these bold steps. Now, only desperate action would save ''Eagle'' from destruction. Using some remarkable maneuvering and predictive abilities, the senior staff was able to avoid further damage to the ship while the marine contingent from the starbase attempted to capture "Valcose" and his aid- the individual that had run to the ship from the colony. Though the aid escaped, he was intercepted by the Starfleet vessel, and shortly afterward, command was returned to Captain Oddas.
