Quentin was put in charge of an away team, consistening of Messers DeBarres, Wilde, and R'Ariel, with the goal of facilitating the evacuation as well as rounding up any stragglers from the ships that were no longer spaceworthy. However, this delicate work was interuppted by a massive Corporate ship, the return of the Razor's Edge, and a new accelerated time frame for the Corporate's moving on Theta 122. They now had only minutes, instead of hours. Shuttling to the surface, Quentin and his team caught a lucky break. Evacuation efforts had already been largely underway, bouyed by the Arrow's contact with the base and it's staffing. | Quentin was put in charge of an away team, consistening of Messers DeBarres, Wilde, and R'Ariel, with the goal of facilitating the evacuation as well as rounding up any stragglers from the ships that were no longer spaceworthy.

Unfortunately, the planet had started to emit massive power spikes, charging the air of the planet and crushing a mining skiff attempting to make a quick buck in the chaos.

Attempting to then leave the planet with his team, Quentin again took to the shuttle. Only then to be shot down by a group on the surface. His first encounter with the planet's "Brotherhood of Thet", an insular and slightly aggressive cult that had formed on the surface of the planet. After a quick struggle, Quentin was incapacitated by the group, awakening to another representative of the cult who made contact with the team after their subduing of the first group. | ||

Housing not only a maze like encampment, but an eerily placid lake, the team were allowed time to rest and recuperate while the group's leader, Father Edward Morgan, was summoned to explain everything. But before he could, Quentin and R'Ariel were accidentally transported through Iconian energy, and deposited deeper into the cave system. Where a massive stone gate, teeming with energy stood. The first of two gates that were connected inside the planet. The second being another free standing gate in the lodgings of Morgan. | ||
Meanwhile, back at the camp, Charlotte DeBarres was forced to restrain Regan Wilde as he had been infected by the indoctrination process of Morgan's cult; thanks to the Iconian gates and their haunting keeper, an injured Iconian. Turns out, the Iconian (called only The Keeper those years ago) had been a scientist eons ago, steeped in the study of space and how to transverse it. Their experiment, The Gates, were an attempt to connect the Iconians to areas of space they couldn't before. But it went wrong, exploding throughout the spectrum of reality and burying two aspects of the Gate Machine in Theta 122 thousands of years ago, the planet forming a sort of protective shell around the Gates. | Meanwhile, back at the camp, Charlotte DeBarres was forced to restrain Regan Wilde as he had been infected by the indoctrination process of Morgan's cult; thanks to the Iconian gates and their haunting keeper, an injured Iconian.

It is of the opinion of these programs that Quentin Collins continues to acquit himself as a capable field officer and effective Command presence in tight situations. However it is also the opinion of these programs that Quentin Collins increasingly displays a willful disregard of his own wellbeing and mental stability, usually to "protect" his fellow crewmembers. This sort of brazen selflessness will presumably lead to Quentin either being injured grievously or even killed. It is of the opinions of these programs that he must foster a healthy distance from his subordanates in order to ensure his own well being and continued existence. | It is of the opinion of these programs that Quentin Collins continues to acquit himself as a capable field officer and effective Command presence in tight situations.

'''Mission #4: The Omega Problem''' | |||
Collins' next mission would find him at the head of a Second Contact effort. The Venthians, a race long beset by wars and destruction and having applied for membership into the Federation, were to play host to the Arrow and her crew. The planet here recently had also undergone vast upward shifts in their technological capabilities. Shifts that would need to be further explored and explained in order to ratify their inculsion into the Federation. | |||
Tasked by the Captain, Quentin and an Away Team consisting of DeBarres, Wilde, and new arrival Lase Ander would lead a fact-finding delegation to the surface of Venthis. While Quentin's team would explore the surface and Venthis capital Korbel City, the ship would host a delegation to discuss how the ship could support efforts toward ratification and boost the planet's standing within their sector space and with the newfound peace. | |||
Greeted by a Madam Alios and her young daughter Azzo, Quentin and the team are greeted like heroes. Alios' corporation, Feren Industries, had arranged a grand meeting with the Starfleet officers, allowing the citizens of Korbel to see their new allies in full, which would then lead to a full tour of the Feren Tower. At first, Quentin and the team were astounded by the Tower and its construction; standing like a gleaming needle and breaking off along the war-torn city below. They were then further amazed by the Tower's use, operating as a vast and intricate power conduit and generator for the city itself, snaking through it's stonework with mighty cabling, originating from the Tower's central power control center at the top. | |||
Their hosts also allowed them to look upon their technology's earlier incarnations as well, whisking them to a meeting hall laiden with their former tech and items from Venthis' past. But Quentin became concerned when he and his team scanned the Tower's energy output, spiking well beyond established and even known parameters. When Quentin pushed Alios to explain, they were then introduced to the Venthis Miracle. A colloquial term for the deadly Omega Particle; the very source of Venthis' unexplainable leap in technology. | |||
But before Quentin could wrestle with the discovery, he and Reagan Wilde suddenly took ill! Displaying severe signs of radiation poisioning! | |||
After a quick beam up into a quarantined and locked down Sickbay, Quentin and his team were faced with a whole new problem. It seemed that Quentin and Regan weren't experiencing radiation poisonings. But instead a locally applied poision, introduced into their systems via some other means. They would get their answers soon enough as Venthian Militants, working from the Southern hemisphere of the planet below, made themselves known, attacking both the surface and inside the ship in a coordinated effort to steal Feren Industries' control of the Omega Moelcule. | |||
One of the Militants had even gotten himself beamed into Sickbay, fooling the ship's sensors with his own altered body chemistry in order to hopefully see through their multi-pronged plan. This caused a tense standoff in the Bay, as the Militant named Mathias took one of the Medical Staff hostage. CONT... | |||
