The ''Artemis'' is informed that a civilian freighter, ''Tritorian'', has disappeared in the Borderlands near the [[Celendi Nebula]], which is unusually active. The radiation from the Nebula interferes with the ship's sensors and may cause health damage if unprotected. Working on the bridge, Jovenan tries to find the missing ship, while she sends Gnai to the sensor pod to mitigate the interference from the radiation.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-O8CobFpHh_Q0rLAhh_e It's never just a science mission], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240110.02</ref> The bridge crew deduces that the ship has likely crashed down to one of the two M class planets that can shield them from the radiation in the vincinity.

They instead go to the other planet. Jovenan starts scanning its surface, finding similar difficulties as on the first planet. She discovers that the civilization living on the planet is in the pre-industrial stage, as their old records indicated.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-O951w-6muP33t0IuaQS Hay in a needle stack], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240110.13</ref> She then finds the missing freighter on the planet's surface, crash-landed to a jungle. They discuss the possibilities they have, such as sending an away team or surgical alterations. Sadar informs Jovenan that the Sickbay personnel are moving non-essential personnel to the better shielded parts of the ship while the anti-radiation medication is being prepared.

Jovenan finds out that beaming down is possible from a lower orbit, but beaming up may be more difficult due to the difficulties posed by the radiation. As the others point out, a shuttle would be safer but would be an obvious target to the locals. The Captain decides that they shall transport down nonetheless.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-O9Tvwe5lAWKxv1j4xay Approaching the go time], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240110.18</ref> The Captain calls the senior officers and informs them of the away teams. Jovenan is to join Adea, Sadar and Ensign [[Kel Solas]] to locate any survivors. Jovenan and Silveira say goodbye before leaving for their respective preparations.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-O9fD8Kz_qKBdA1CcjPD The time for a new world], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240110.20</ref> | ||
Jovenan meets her team in the transporter room. They beam down to the jungle near the ''Tritorian''.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-O9taIhvGajF7Aa2mIUp Putting the band back together], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240110.23</ref> Adea decides they'll look for survivors or bodies around the crash site first, since the wreckage itself is already being search by the others teams. The Captain informs the team leaders that her team has noticed lifesigns that could belong to the Meirashi, the pre-warp locals. Jovenan's team discover something that could be lifesigns and something that could be blood.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-OA9H-Q50igMADD67GY4 In the jungle, the mighty jungle], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240110.26</ref> The results are inconclusive, but while they are doing that, they are informed that there is a strong radiation source, maybe a beacon, in the city 130 kilometres off their location. They also receive a silent distress signal from one of the other teams.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-OAMDOCyDlwLvoF0sRXA The signals all around us], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240110.29</ref> They deduce that one of the other teams must have been attacked by the Meirashi, and Adea makes the decision that his team must move away so not to be discovered and continue with the mission. They continue their travel to the distant radiation source.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-OAZ5Y9J4JiznJnQcpwG Let’s make ourselves scarce], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240110.31</ref> | |||
The journey to the radiation source is long and they have to make it through a jungle. Jovenan is worried about the others, but it doesn't seem likely that they would be able to contact them. She offers the others some water she had carried in her backpack, and they start to make plans for their survival. They're going to need water, but they haven't discovered any besides the moisture in the air. Kel locates a cave they may camp for the night.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-OAlex56hv6GwUniV2Yf Camping and caves? Good thing I've been practising], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240111.03</ref> While they are walking, Kel hears something. Taking it as a threat, the team prepares for combat. However, the source of the sound turns out to be a large worm with sacs of water on its back. Since they haven't found any water yet and the worm seems to be carrying drinkable water, they consider extracting it from the worm. Jovenan volunteers to catch it, kneeling to the ground and luring it closer to her with a half empty water bottle.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-OB6vrSogruBAf3XhpJi Can we keep it?], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240111.07</ref> The worm turns out to be quite harmless and defenceless, and besides, very cute. Sadar manages to extract some water without harming the worm while Jovenan holds onto it. Adea checks the water is potable, and since that proves to be the case (despite his prank), they are satisfied that they have discovered a method of gaining water in the jungle.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-OBHs6gF3uBAxHo2cvTK Let’s remain scientific about the cute worms, shall we?], LtCmdr Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240111.09</ref> | |||
