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. | But Quentin was unaware of that as they made the surface.

However, the Away Team's arrival was met with mistrust and near belligerence. The City Guard, led by a stoic Captain of The Guard, demanded answers from the team. But knew that another attack would be likely. However, odd energy blockages and magnetic anomalies pulled the company deeper into Tamenworth City. Where a clandestine hatch revealed something Quentin had suspected since the ship. A secret network of tunnels and lab complexes hidden under the city. Housing further a number of electro-static signal jammers that cripped Tamenworth comms and Transporter signals. | |||
Supported by members of the City Guard, who kept watch at the rear and city gates, the Away Team took to under the streets. Exploring the vast and seemingly ancient system of caves that had been occupied by the Breen. After disabling a few more signal hammers along the way, the Away Team were faced with the last remaining Weaponeers, who had started to argue with one of the complex's Lead Reseachers. But the argument was cut off as two of the Breen turned and fired on the Away Team. After they were subdued, The Third Breen quickly surrendered, telling the Team all he knew with little prompting. | |||
It appeared that the Breen were attempting a grand power grab within The Corporate and had planned to used knowledge gained during their experiments on Mercia IV to do it. The Minister of Tamenworth was made aware of the arrangement and acted as a sort of "broker" between the Breen Weaponeer contractors and the rogue Sheliak leadership. However, a timely accident shook The Minster's confidence in the venture. One of the Weaponeer's "clone-flesh" broke containment and all but annhilated one of the Mercian coast colonies. The Minster threatened to inform Starfleet. So the rogue Sheliak enacted a "scorched earth" policy for the facilities. Using the contracted Breen as muscle for the ground operations. | |||
The Away Team swiftly took The Third Breen into custody, but not before confronting the last of the complex's guards. Who were also quickly dispatched and apprehended as the walls closed in around Minister Varn and the remaining forces of the rogue Sheliak. The Away Team then deactivated the remaining signal jammers and neutralized the reacting agents in the Tamenworthian water supply, freeing the populace from the unseen interference from the Sheliak and Breen. | |||
The Arrow and her crew were then ordered back to Starfleet HQ by way of the Prometheus-class' trans-warp slipstream corridor. Towed more or less with a low-grad tractor beam keeping the ship in the Prometheus-class' wake. Both for debrief and repairs | |||
It is of the opinion(s) of these program(s) that LTCmdr. Collins continues to acclimate well to his transition back to Sciences. His move toward the Helm in a tense moment and focus on the information being relayed around him again proves he is keeping attentive. Rising to the occasion he can in admirable ways. However, with this refocus comes a slight hyper-focus which nearly got him injured once again on-mission as he failed to display a spatial awareness befitting an officer of his station. | |||

'''Shore Leave Interlude #1: Return to Collinsport/Return to Ring 42''' | |||
As Shore Leave conditions were announced, Quentin Collins divded his time between two former places of great import to him. His hometown of Collinsport and Ring 42 of the Avarro Wildes. | |||
The former was the product of a set of clandestine invites that his siblings Sara and David had sent out without his knowledge. Inviting most of the Senior Staff for a few weeks stay at his ancestral home. Along with the news that their Mother, Professor Angelique Bouchard-Collins, had left the house, seemingly with no intentions to return in the near future. And leaving the grounds and deed of Collins House, alongside sizeable assets, to her children in the meantime. | |||
The latter return to Ring 42 was from an invite originating from Captain Oddas Aria, who was due to open for operations Denali Station; the first wholly Starfleet/Federation outpost in Wilds space. He gracefully accepted along with Chief of Security Artinus Serinus. Little did he know he was also to serve as witness to Oddas' promotion to Fleet Captain. | |||
As of now he is dividing his time between Collinsport, the Arrow, and Denali Station. | |||
