Etan Iljor: Difference between revisions

During a routine science mission on Alpha Brenkelvi II, Etan lead an away team consisting of 2nd Lieutenant [[Arturo Maxwell]] and Lieutenants [[Toxin Arlill]] and [[Josh Herrick]]. They were to investigate a mysterious energy field in the Northern Hemisphere that defied conventional explanation. This led them to a vast series of underground caverns and chambers, many of which seemed to have religious significance. Each member of the away team experienced visions or apparations of individuals close to them who were deceased; Iljor saw his grandmother. Their investigation led them to an ancient outpost some 250 million years old that was out of sync with the space-time continuum. Here they made contact with the 'Spirits of the Deceased'- a species who had come to Alpha Brenkelvi millennia earlier and evolved thanks to their proximity to the outpost. They also met Na'Shaala- a representative of the Manraloth, the builders of the outpost. Here they learned that the planet became a religious Mecca for those who sought to heal their grief at their loved ones. They also learned that a group of Bajorans settled on the planet some 65,000 years earlier. Na'Shaala- curious to see the galaxy after 250 million years old- sacrificed her ability to ascend to her native realm- to return the away team to their shuttlecraft.
