To that end, she set [[Genkos Adea|Commander Adea]] in command of the [[USS Berlin]] with a draft of the senior staff under him. Once in place, the now two crews would face off in a mostly-simulated combat in a nearby nebula.

After entering the nebula, the crew of the ''Artemis'' deployed probes with modified signatures, intended to distract the already less-able sensors of the ''Berlin.'' After searching, they located a signature that eventually proved to be their quarry. Firing upon the smaller ship had the desired effect: decreased shielding and minor damage, but it also had an undesired effect. The phaser fire, though decreased in intensity for the exercise, was enough to trigger ignition of a plasma flare. This backfire of sorts caused significant damage to the ''Artemis''' own shields, which sent the crew into repair mode. Yalu, Vedic and Savel headed to Main Engineering to assess and repair damage there. Upon arriving, they found an overturned replicator playing some sort of advertisement for drink-ware. | After entering the nebula, the crew of the ''Artemis'' deployed probes with modified signatures, intended to distract the already less-able sensors of the ''Berlin.''

==== ''USS Berlin'' ==== | ==== Act 1: ''USS Berlin'' ==== | ||
The ''Berlin'' took a careful approach to the nebula, having a disadvantage with sensor capabilities. Moments before being attacked by the ''Artemis'', Ensign Kawarda (utilizing a "tactical astrometrics station") was able to spot the ship and relayed the information to Lorana on the bridge. There was however, no time to avoid the attack, and when the ''Berlin'' was hit and damage reports made, Adea made the call to send a boarding party over to the larger ship. Dakora suggested beaming in other items as a means of diversion not dissimilar to the ''Artemis''' use of the probes, but on a smaller scale. The more obviously tactically valuable boarding points would serve as the diversions while Dakora, Osuna | The ''Berlin'' took a careful approach to the nebula, having a disadvantage with sensor capabilities.

==== Act 2: ''USS Artemis'' ==== | |||
* '''Bridge Crew''' | |||
While [[Yogan Yalu|Yalu]], [[Vedic Koleth|Vedic]] and [[Savel]] were dealing with the boarders, the bridge crew were brainstorming ideas on how to keep themselves hidden from the Berlin while they dealt with the boarders. [[Vitor Silveira|Silveira]] suggested offense rather than defense, triggering multiple plasma flares at once and hopefully hit the Berlin, making it retreat from a possible confrontation, and thus giving the ''Artemis'' ample time to hide. Just as they prepared to do this, they noticed an obscure contact which was possibly the ''Berlin''. Opting for a wide spread, [[Vitor Silveira|Silveira]] fired at the contact and the plasma in one fell swoop, lighting vast amounts of the nebula aflame. As the ''Artemis'' moved away from the flares, boosting their shields to avoid more damage, the computer alerted the bridge crew that a detonation had been registered on deck 5, and [[Vitor Silveira|Silveira]] handed out phasers to everyone in the room, prepared for a possible firefight. Meanwhile, [[Jovenan]] alerted the Captain that their plan to shield the ''Artemis'' hadn’t worked. They were still fully visible and running out of places to go. The ship was being bombarded, both from within and without, and as the simulated damage started mounting up, the Captain grew suspicious. What if all that simulated damage was, in fact, not simulated at all? <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/FDNLVvQyFoc 'Trouble'], Cmdr. MacKenzie, Stardate 240006.26</ref> | |||
* '''Security Team''' | |||
To make sure any boarders would have a hard time doing any ‘real’ damage (in terms of the drill), [[Vedic Koleth|Vedic]] locked down the main computer core and set failsafes to potentially trap any would-be hackers, while [[Savel]] directed all on-board security officers to do sweeps of all decks. As the trio itself moved to try and intercept the boarders before they gained access to any sensitive systems, [[Yogan Yalu|Yalu]] suffered a simulated injury, but chose to continue on with the others towards Deck 5, where the computer core was located. The computer identified [[Talos Dakora|Dakora]], [[Gabriel Osuna|Osuna]] and [[Hiro Jones|Jones]]’ location as within the crew quarters there, but when making contact with the ‘enemy group’, they discovered that their adversaries had exchanged combadges with some other crewmen. Just as they realized that their quarry had already moved on to the computer control room, a simulated explosion rocked the ship, taking the artificial gravity with it while they heard phaser fire in the distance. A confrontation was imminent. [[Vedic Koleth|Vedic]] was called away to help with repairs for some stuck turbolifts just before the firefight broke out between the two teams. When [[Talos Dakora|Dakora]]’s team started their escape through the Jeffries’ Tubes, [[Yogan Yalu|Yalu]]’s group was prepared to follow, before they made a disturbing discovery. Very real anesthezine knockout gas had been released on the deck they’d just left, and the computer core was going haywire. This was no drill anymore. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/PKhyf-rkc0Q 'Oh, this just got serious'], Lt.Cdr. Yalu, Stardate 240006.26</ref> | |||
==== Act 2: ''USS Berlin'' ==== | |||
* '''Bridge Crew''' | |||
While the boarding crew was aboard the ''Artemis'', the ''Berlin'' were devising ways to keep their opponents occupied, so they wouldn’t have time to deal with the boarders. [[Hallia Yellir|Yellir]] devised a ploy that would fool the ''Artemis''’ sensors into thinking that another warp signature was approaching them from the other direction. Their plan seemed successful as the ''Artemis'' aimed at everything in its vicinity, and the ''Berlin'' made a run for it, hoping to outrun the plasma flares. With the concentration of plasma pockets in the nebula, [[Luxa Lorana|Lorana]] alerted [[Genkos Adea|Cmdr. Adea]] that they only had two options left for navigation: either come up right next to the ''Artemis'' – which was on its way towards safer waters – or fly deeper into the perilous nebula. [[Hallia Yellir|Yellir]] planned on concealing a subspace message to [[Talos Dakora|Dakora]] within a subspace signal bombardment amplified by a tractor beam, and was given permission to do so by the Commander. Once they did, [[Genkos Adea|Adea]] was shocked at the extent of damage being done to the ''Artemis''<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/zqdaW-gE5po 'We're Not Playing Games Here'], Cmdr. Adea, Stardate 240006.21</ref> and ordered the crew to go on standby. | |||
* '''Boarding Party''' | |||
Realizing that they might be trackable via biosigns, the boarding party devised a plan to trap some ''Artemis'' crewmen in some crew quarters and swap combadges. Accomplishing their task, the boarding group was slimmed down from 4 to 6, with [[Talos Dakora|Dakora]], [[Hiro Jones|Jones]], [[Gabriel Osuna|Osuna]] and Security Officer [[Kliss'lai|Kliss’lai]] continuing on their mission, which involved attaching simulated explosives to various access points for the computer core. While heading towards the second site, the group heard a sudden noise from an overhead gangway but didn’t immediately see any hostiles. They managed to get the second explosive attached and primed and left the computer control room behind, just as phaser fire started shooting towards them from the other end of the corridor. While the simulated explosions took out both the artificial gravity and the corridor’s lighting, the boarding party with a now ‘injured’ [[Kliss'lai|Kliss’lai]] opted for an exit strategy that involved swooping through an access hatch to a nearby Jeffries’ tube. There, they encountered a bloodthirsty crewman, [[Jozial Renirs|Renirs]], who had been on a mainentenance job, and instead opted to beat up [[Gabriel Osuna|Osuna]] with a very unsimulated wrench. After deescalating the crewman’s assault, she was brought along with the group as they climbed through the Jeffries’ Tubes, aiming for Sickbay so they could heal their simulated damages. It wasn’t until they exited the Tubes, that they realized their folly. They’d exited the tubes straight onto a deck filled with Anesthezine gas. Hurrying towards Sickbay – and its isolated environmental systems - before they lost consciousness, the group realized that they had bigger problems than a few yellow combadges. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/5P9WtU8kwSU 'All Gone Wrong'], Lt.Cdr Dakora, Stardate 240006.27</ref> | |||
