The Pelian Brief (Gorkon): Difference between revisions

* '''Build a field hospital'''

* '''Investigate the unearthed ruins'''

Deployed to the surface of the planet, the teams were ready for anything. Poised, prepared, and possessed by a sense of urgency given their tasks at hand. A dig into the archaeological mystery led by [[Quinn Reynolds]] established the outbreak of sickness on the colony, with those working on the excavation site as Patient Zeros. Taking necessary precautions in their assessments, the three officers comprising the Admiral, [[Corliss Fortune]], and the newly appointed science chief [[Alieth]], heading into the ruins to make their assessments.  

* '''Discover who is sabotaging the field hospital'''

* '''Locate the control room for the underground systems'''

[[Quinn Reynolds|Reynolds]], [[Corliss Fortune|Fortune]] and [[Alieth]] explored the Pelian archaeology site identified as the source of the outbreak. After working their way through some of the buildings, they discovered a secret passage leading underground. Their decision to investigate it became a forced one after coming under attack from what seemed to be Romulans, pushed underground by the collapse of the building. At the base of the stairs, they discovered a room containing three statues/structures, and their investigation led to Reynolds becoming trapped in some kind of force field, nature unknown.

* '''Identify and arrest the murderer'''

* '''Get the surviving cadets back to the Gorkon.'''

[[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Agent Lynas]] took Lieutenant Commander [[Samira Neathler]], Lieutenant [[Cory Stoyer]], and Ensign [[Tahna Meru]] to the local FedSec headquarters, where Tahna used their labs to analyze the samples taken from Bisul's residence. She learned that Bisul was poisoned by a powder made from the Gorak mushroom, an invasive species that was believed to be eradicated because it was highly poisonous to Pelians (but, notably, had medicinal properties for Vulcanoids). The team (minus Lynas), boarded a bus to follow leads on bookstores and restaurants Sylan and Bisul frequented together, but their bus was bombed and the scroll they found in the grotto was stolen. Lieutenant [[Lephi]] found them in the aftermath of the explosion, and they regrouped at The Burrow, a restaurant Sylan was known to frequent. They learned that Agent Lynas was also caught in an explosion, and agreed to meet him at his house, but when they arrived they found themselves caught in a trap with Lynas, set by a Pelian masquerading as Bisul and a Lady in Gray. Neathler, Stoyer, and Lephi engaged them in a shootout, scaring their attackers away, though Neathler sustained an injury from a mysterious weapon. They followed the fake Bisul outside, where he had raised a crowd of onlookers, back to the real Bisul's house. There were six life signs inside, and after throwing a phaser set to overload into the room and a brief struggle, they subdued the fake Bisul and others present. Fake Bisul was not working with them, however, he was attempting to poison the six gathered religious and political figures so he could consolidate power, just as he'd poisoned the real Bisul. With the murderer caught, they turn the investigation over to FedSec and local authorities.

With two of the crew badly injured and a third unable to act freely after the donation, the group headed for the exit, where they met up with Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]'s group.
