Off in the woods, [[Lena Josett]] and [[Orson Marshall]] escaped the Gorkon on the trail of a smuggling ring supposedly using the Sensor Dead Zone of Darime IV as a cover for their illegal operations. The two biked toward the valley of N’amiu’s Garden, stashed their mode of transport, and continued down into the garden on foot, wary of the possibility smugglers watched them from all corners. | Off in the woods, [[Lena Josett]] and [[Orson Marshall]] escaped the Gorkon on the trail of a smuggling ring supposedly using the Sensor Dead Zone of Darime IV as a cover for their illegal operations.

''Meanwhile, under the colony in an unknown location...'' Cadet Ryan | ''Meanwhile, under the colony in an unknown location...'' Cadet Ryan Isaacs stirred from his impromptu slumber, head pounding like a good night at the San Francisco bars had been had, only a little darker than the campus dorm rooms. Across from him, he recognised his fellow Starfleet Cadets of Ressan, Gilbert, and Ico. Taking stock of their situation, Isaacs found his engineering kit, flicked on the lights, and realised the four of them were stood in a forgotten city deep beneath the surface of the colony above. | ||

Returning to the [[Federation Security|FedSec HQ]], the team carried out research and discovered the murder “weapon”, a poison derived from a local mushroom the Pelians had tried to eradicate from the planet. The leads pointed them toward several meeting places of [[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Sylan]] and Bisul—but while en route, the team’s public transport suffered a bombing attack. After being joined by [[Lephi]] and gathering their wits, the team headed toward a favourite restaurant of the adulterous couple. There was no sign of Sylan there, and the team contacted [[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Agent Lynas]] who asked them to meet him in a house on Sallu’um Street. Their journey briefly interrupted by threatening figures, they arrived at their location to discover an unconscious and bound [[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Agent Lynas]]—and shortly thereafter, two more people, one of whom seems to be Bisul... | Returning to the [[Federation Security|FedSec HQ]], the team carried out research and discovered the murder “weapon”, a poison derived from a local mushroom the Pelians had tried to eradicate from the planet.

[[Jona ch'Ranni]], [[Serren Tan]] and [[Mallora Vossti]] descended below the surface to search for a group of missing Starfleet cadets. After encountering some radiation readings and potential evidence of the cadets' passage, they got into a spot of bother. First, they narrowly avoided being crushed in a rockfall, then they were attacked by unknown assailants and forced to retreat by diving through a body of water. Their route took them into the same city as the lost cadets, and the trio began to explore the first building they encountered. | |||
Inside, they discovered an inactive computer terminal, and a PADD which activated a holographic projection inside and summoned drones to circle the building outside. The projection turned aggressive and attacked, and while Tan and ch’Ranni tried to fend it off, Vossti deduced the meaning of the symbols on the PADD to pacify it. The team decided to capture one of the drones, using a modified phaser to fire and deactivate it. It was then they were contacted by the cadets, who had seen their drone-napping operation, and using the modified phaser to create an explosive diversion, the team welcomed them into the building. After freeing Tan, who had become trapped by the wall, Ico used her implanted knowledge to create a distraction and the Starfleet officers raced back toward the same way they came in. | Inside, they discovered an inactive computer terminal, and a PADD which activated a holographic projection inside and summoned drones to circle the building outside.

[[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. | [[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Agent Lynas]] took Lieutenant Commander [[Samira Neathler]], Lieutenant [[Cory Stoyer]], Lieutenant [[Lephi]] and Ensign [[Tahna Meru]] to the local FedSec headquarters, where Tahna used their labs to analyze the samples taken from Bisul's residence.

In the Pelian/Romulan hospital area, the team of Lieutenant Commander [[Jo Marshall]], Lieutenant Commander [[Ayiana Sevo]], Lieutenant [[Piravao sh’Qynallahr]], and Lieutenant (JG) [[Loxley]] followed the saboteur's trail to the ruined hospital, where they discovered evidence of illegal surgeries. While investigating, they were attacked by Valran, who took [[Ayiana Sevo]] hostage. A knife fight ensued and [[Loxley]] sustained a severe injury. He needed an urgent blood transfusion which [[Ayiana Sevo]] suggested be done from the Valran quack. [[Jo Marshall]] however, pointed out the unethical nature of this solution and it was she who donated blood to the Vulcan, despite the incompatibilities and future problems this could cause. | In the Pelian/Romulan hospital area, the team of Lieutenant Commander [[Jo Marshall]], Lieutenant Commander [[Ayiana Sevo]], Lieutenant [[Piravao sh’Qynallahr]], and Lieutenant (JG) [[Loxley]] followed the saboteur's trail to the ruined hospital, where they discovered evidence of illegal surgeries.

Meanwhile, exploring the underground ruins, Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]], Lieutenants [[Alieth]] and [[Corliss Fortune]] discovered several pods containing strange liquids, with samples of the virus affecting the [[Pelian]] inside. In one of the stasis spheres they discovered the missing [[The Pelian Brief (Gorkon)#Notable Characters|Sylan]], still alive, but who had undergone several genetic modifications, such as the duplication of several organs. With her body under stress due to these procedures, but sedated and stable, the group decided to leave the Pelian there, along with [[Alieth]]'s combadge, to be rescued later, once they had secured a way out of the ruins. | Meanwhile, exploring the underground ruins, Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]], Lieutenants [[Alieth]] and [[Corliss Fortune]] discovered several pods containing strange liquids, with samples of the virus affecting the [[Pelian]] inside.
