Astraeus receives the transmission from Starfleet Command indicating that they are to detach from the Home Fleet and join the pursuit of Titan. Nonessential personnel, such as long term researchers and civilians, are offloaded on Earth before we depart.

In the Chin’toka system, Astraeus will pick up lingering traces of the Titan’s warp trail. By this time, the VSS T'Plana is missing from the Chin’toka scrapyard, which is well cataloged due to the recovery operations that the Starfleet Corps of Engineers had to conduct here after the First and Second Battles of Chin’toka.

By this time, the VSS T'Plana is missing from the Chin’toka scrapyard, which is well cataloged due to the recovery operations that the Starfleet Corps of Engineers had to conduct here after the First and Second Battles of Chin’toka. Due to Starfleet’s knowledge of what exactly should be there, the ''T’Plana''’s absence should be conspicuous. | ||
Several dozen transponder beacons of Titan are detected, which makes it obvious soon enough that all but one of them must be decoys. The crew’s first task is to narrow down where to track where Titan has gone, which will be Daystrom Station (the events of Picard 3x06, “The Bounty”. | |||
Displeased with the fact that the Astraeus crew won’t leave well enough alone and are investigating inconsistencies in the data sent from Intrepid, the Changelings on board decide to stage a destructive sabotage, releasing superheated, radioactive gas into the Operations Center to disrupt the investigation as well as to hopefully cause some collateral loss of life. | |||
Astraeus is en route when the alert from Titan’s first visit is triggered (mention this in sims after we are already on the way, the alert is a confirmation), and will just be arriving after Titan’s second visit to pick up | |||
Mei’konda reports this to Starfleet Command, who dispatch the Echelon class ships Cole and Sternbach to assist. | |||
By the time we arrive, Titan is departing. Astraeus has a shot at Titan, Cole and Sternbach take theirs, but Mei’konda, increasingly suspicious of the hunt they’re engaging in, orders us to hold fire. This gets him in trouble with the Cole and Sternbach’s Changeling COs, and results in a Changeling on board attempting to replace him. Mei convinces the Cole and Sternbach COs that he is in fact the Changeling and that the changeover has been completed successfully. | |||
Then it comes time to hunt down the Changeling(s) on board Astraeus. Mei will be inclined to do this quietly so as not to spread suspicion, but may be convinced otherwise if his officers have different opinions. | |||
Mei’konda decides to have Astraeus continue the investigation with the Kitty Hawk, and elects not to keep Cole and Sternbach in the loop aside from the most minimal communications updates to and from them. | |||
