Greeted icily by one Captain Allura Daniels of the U.S.S. Libris, the crew of the USS Arrow is ordered by tightbeam Command assignment to follow the Libris to a specific sector of the Alpha Isles, a sector more than a full day away by high Warp. The orders are further backed by order of Starfleet Academy, which intrigues Captain Shayne, but provides no further indication as to what the crew should expect. | |||
In transit, the orders become clearer. The Arrow is to serve as the "antagonist" to a series of wargames between the Arrow and the Libris, the goals of which are to determine the space readiness of the Gamma Wing students and test the new modified Nova-class Libris' worthiness in the field as well. To this end, Command determined a set of rules as well as a short-term officer exchange in order to supplement the near-skeleton crew of the Libris. | |||
Team Arrow would consist of Captain Shayne, Mission Specialist Danny Wilde (also serving as the contest's arbiter), Ensign Hobart, Chief Serinus, Science Officers Jacin and Collins, and finally junior Medical Officers Seesh and Ohnari. Team Libris would be Commander Niac, Ash MacKenna, Engineer Connor Dewitt, Counselor R'Ariel and the enigmatic Lacy Twins, two hotshots on a meteoric rise to prominence in Starfleet. | |||
The setting? The Swamp. A highly condensed, largely unexplored sector of the Alpha Isles which stands lousy with stellar phenomena. Phenomena such as gas clouds, asteroid ribbons, at least two barren moons, and all other manner of cosmic detritus perfect to hide a starship in. Finally, the combatants arrive and exchange their officers. The board is set. The pieces start to move. | |||
However, Cadet Gerry Lacy, giving not a fig for sportsmanlike conduct, interrupts an early strategic conference between Team Arrow with a full broadside of dummy photon torpedoes. | |||
