Drill (Artemis): Difference between revisions

Since their last mission was entirely planet-side,<ref>[[Impact (Artemis)]]</ref> [[Addison MacKenzie|Commander MacKenzie]] thought it prudent to give the crew a feel for what the ''Artemis'' was capable of. 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. The environment there would not only prevent full impulse travel, but also add an element of uncertainty to the exercise.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/7kcuRRGFnYs/m/TrxnFNnFAwAJ 'Drill'], Cmdr.

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. [[Yogan Yalu|Yalu]], [[Vedic Koleth|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.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/yBhu37gWlDk 'Bamboozled'], Lt.Cdr Yogan Yalu, Stardate 240006.13</ref>
