Mission Summary
Act One
On the USS Thor's maiden voyage, Starfleet ordered the Fleet Captain Aron Kells to investigate a distress call coming from the Ysdyen Nebula. According to the message the message it was coming from a planet that was lost in Vel Maijan where a colony was founded in 2159 gut disappeared in 2164, along with the rest of the solar system. The captain split the crew in three different groups. Group one was to work on research into the colony world. Group two was to prepare for any confrontation they might encounter. Group Three was to prepare for any medical issues they might encounter.[1]
Group one, consisted of Commander Pandorn, Lieutenant Lovar, Doctor Alieth, and Ambassador Turner.[footnote 1] They managed to clean up the distress call that was sent out. It read "*crackling* To the Federation...this is *static* We need assistance. *crackling* Planet becoming uninhabitable...::severe interference:: ...took refuge underground...sky filled with lightning...massive energy surge...*static then silence*." The team came up with the possibility that the colony has undergone some sort of cataclysm. The planet magnetosphere was severely weakened exposing the planet to solar winds and other radiation.[2]
Group two, consisted of Lieutenant Garcia, Captain Brell, Second Lieutenant Greaves, and Ensign Dar. They determined that they needed a probe for initial reconnaissance. This would consist of beaming a sensor probe and sensor net down on the surface. once the surface is surveyed Ensign Dar and Lieutenant Greave would beam down to the surface to identify the community leader and suss out the security risks.[3]
Group three, consisted of Doctor MacKenzie, Ensign Wilkins and Commander Brodie. MacKenzie was concerned about any radiation poisoning that might affect the crew. Brodie pointed out that the colonists might need some psychiatic help. Ensign Wilkins was assigned to prepare a report about the colony to brief anyone on an away team.[4]
Act Two
After three days of travel the USS Thor came to the Ysdyen Nebula.[5] Captain Kells assigned Doctor McKenzie to lead a team on the surface of the planet, Vel Maijan, and explore the ruins. Commander Teller was assigned to a team to search below the surface since the distress call said the colonists sought refuge underground.[6]
Doctor McKenzie's team, consisting of Ensigns Dar and Wilkins, Lieutenant Quenm, and Major Parker, took a shuttle down to the surface of Val Maljan. The ride was bumpy, but Parker was able to land the craft without any problems.[7] The away team did not pick up any life signs, but MacKenzie did find some petrified wood indicating that something dramatic happened on the surface. Dar discovered a skull of a human female. The signs on the surface wasn't looking good.[8] The team made their way towards one of the buildings hoping to find some answers.</ref>Lieutenant Commander Addison MacKenzie - Divide and Conquer</ref> The building began to shake due to seismic activity and a ion storm along with a detection of chroniton particles.[9][10] The crew double timed it back to the shuttle to get back to the USS Thor. The ride was again very bumpy and there was a chance they would pass through some of the chroniton particles. With Parker piloting the shuttle, the group manged to make it back to the USS Thor with no problems.[11]
The second team with Pandorn in charged beamed down to the caverns under group on Vel Maijan.[12][footnote 2] In the tunnels, Greaves heard what he thought were noises. Meanwhile, Lovar discovered the atmosphere contained Beta radiation, something that doesn't naturally occur.[13]
