The orders were simple. Find the convoy and disable its Metagenic capabilities. While preserving life on Mercia IV. | The orders were simple. Find the convoy and disable its Metagenic capabilities. While preserving life on Mercia IV. | ||
The crew went to quick action with all stations being given orders and told to prepare for action stations. Quentin, working in conjunction with Ash MacKenna and the Medical staff, started to compile as much information as possible on Metagenic weaponry. Alongside work in the Labs and Sickbay Complex as to a way to neutralize the meta-gene at it's source. After a lengthy study of the base compound, the team were able to mass-batch replicate a "cooling agent", thought to be just enough of a universal base to isolate and snuff out the bonding agents that made meta-genes so deadly. | |||
The only trouble was, it could only be introduced directly into the meta housing of the Sheliak ship. An executive decision was made and The Captain ordered that he would lead an Away Team to the Sheliak Meta-Ship. Leaving Commander Maz Rodan with the conn. Preparations were made (as well as sonic pulse radar, appraising them of the Sheliak convoy's location, thanks to some of the Arrow's new arrivals) and soon the Sheliak were engaged. After a brief "hit-and-fade" attack, the Away Team was transported to the Meta-Ship. While the Arrow retreated into a nearby nebulae made up of various volitle spacial gases. | |||
However, during the attack, the Arrow's regular helm officer was indisposed and Quentin was "forced" to take the Helm. In fact, the majority of Quentin's time this mission would be spent at the Helm. Including his evasion of one of the convoy's escort ships, another Heavy Frigate with a vast and varied weapons compliment. But their nebulae cover would not last long, as the Sheliak's probing with weapons ignited one of the pockets of radon gas, burning away the entire anomaly and forcing the ship once more into conflict with the Sheliak. | |||
Even more pressing news would soon reach them, however. As a Minister Varn from Mercia IV came in contact with the ship, telling tale of a sudden sickness that was also attacking his planet. The Arrow made haste to the planet...just as the Sheliak Meta-Ship and their escorts arrived. The crew prepared for another fight. Aided unexpectedly by a Caledonian Science Vessel that had been studying the opposite hemisphere of the planet. But as they poised their cannons, more aid would find the Arrow. In the form of Prometheus-class vessel the U.S.S. Dickens and Intrepid-class support the U.S.S. Zelensky, who had come to the aid of their Starfleet allies after receiving their distress calls. | |||
The odds now somewhat evened, the Arrow and her remaining crew turned now to the problems of Merica IV. As well as how to retrieve their Captain and Away Team after the Meta-Ship had been disabled. But the sudden inclusion of Breen Warp-Fighters, along with a Breen landing party that seemingly had been lying in wait on the planet's surface the whole time, forced the remaining crew into another hard choice. They would beam back the Away Team and Captain, directly to Sickbay, but would also have to dispatch ANOTHER Away Team to the surface. From there, Quentin and the Bridge Crew were relieved by Gamma Shift, provided a Security detail (led by Chief Serinus), and beamed down to the planet's surface. Ironically enough, it was just before Sickbay was called into a quarantine lockdown due to the Captain's Away Team being also infected with the modified Meta-Gene. | |||
But Quentin was unaware of that as they made the surface. A surface that came complete with odd signs of metal lined up and underneath the topsoil. But Quentin was unable to study them further as the party came under attack by a detactment of Breen from a rock outcropping that overlooked Tamenworth City; one of Mercia IV's largest walled cities. The party took cover, but were later escorted into the city proper by a ragtag City Guard, seemingly made up of youths and middle-aged citizens. | |||
