First Season, Episode 3: Stardate 239709.20 — Present

Teaser

After a long period of time in dry dock on DS9, the USS Thor transited the Bajoran Wormhole for a simple re-supply mission to the agricultural colony of New Bajor in the Gamma Quadrant. What in appearance was a simple milk run to boost crew morale and self-confidence after the events of the QSD accident turned out to be an unexpected mission.

Mission Summary

Prologue

After countless attempts, Minister Velos Tan managed to get Governor Tidak Beru to meet with her to discuss the problems that were afflicting their colony. However, after a brief discussion, the only thing she got was for him was a request with their low priority subspace traffic back to DS9, asking for a minimal resupply of basic colony essentials whenever it was convenient.

Weeks later, that restocking order was handed over to the USS Thor, a perfect routine mission to evaluate the newly repaired Vesta class back into service. Or, at least, that was what it seemed...


Act One

After a short, uneventful trip through the Bajoran Wormhole and a brief meeting to inform them of the nature of the mission, the crew was divided into several groups.

One, led by Commander Geoffrey Teller along with Lieutenant JG. Sirok, Ensign Dar Elandra and Ensign Tara Wilkins went to one of the world's Agri-Centers to deliver much of the heavy machinery that made up the bulk of the shipment. Nevertheless, when they arrived at the site they found it abandoned, so they set out to investigate the area or ask the locals. Their survey revealed that what should have been a thriving colony was in a sorry state, with dry and dying crops that were far from the image they had been given of the settlement. After a short trek, seasoned with some sea shanties, the group reached the Landor's farm, the only one that still resisted in the surrounding area. The owners were old acquaintances from Ensign Dar, but despite this fact, eventually they became hostile to the Starfleet group, accusing them of having abandoned the colony to their misfortune. . After a tense discussion, the away team left the supplies behind them in the Agri-Center and returned to the Thor with a mysterious and some samples in hand.

Meanwhile, a second group, led by Lt. Commander Alexander Brodie and consisting of Lieutenant Lorian Lovar, Lt. Commander Krindo Pandorn, Ensign Kira Pol and Lieutenant JG Alieth headed to the Administrative Complex to meet with the Governor and Minister Velos. The former proved to be a vacuous and seemingly superficial man, who made a strenuous effort to divert the away team's attention from the obvious problems in the fields around the Complex, while the Minister subtly tried to inform them of what was happening. When the Governor realised this he locked the group in the Ambassadorial Suites and jammed the communications at a planetary level, making it impossible to transport themselves back to their runabout or the Thor. However, the group managed to escape this trap thanks to Velos's collaboration and resourcefulness.

Finally, the rest of the crew remained on the vessel, where Fleet Captain Aron Kells, First Lieutenant, Wes Greaves and Lieutenant Quen Deena were to receive a delegation from the planet. The delegation arrived in the form of Secretary Alenis Nerys, who stowed away in the Vesta class to reveal the mysterious blight that threatened the survival of the colony. After a few tense moments, the secretary joined Commander Nic del Vedova and Ensign Peri Katsim to try and find out the nature of this plague, but the mystery proved to be much more complex than it first appeared.


Act Two

After the crew reunited on the starship again, and in view of the worrisome reports received from all teams, Fleet Captain Aron Kells resolved to visit the planet to confer with Governor Tidak Beru and find out what was happening in the Colony and why the leader of said settlement had been trying so diligently to obscure the situation.

Meanwhile, Commander Geoffrey Teller took command of the bridge together with Lieutenant JG Sirok, Lieutenant JG Kortho Yang, Ensign Peri Katsim and the recently returned Lt. Commander Ben Garcia and guided the ship into a nearby nebula, following the trail of the civilian freighter Melvar in search of her connection with the New Bajor blight.
