<h3>Mission Summary</h3>
Upon arriving at Karakka, The Montreal’s Commanding Officer, Commander Mei’konda immediately ordered a scan of the planetary system, as well as contacting the planetary government. Stressing to his crew the importance of the mission, as well as how dangerous Lenik would be when cornered, he kicked off a flurry of activity.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-montreal/KY8Ue8fLefg ''CDR Mei’konda - Wounded Animal'']</ref>. Immediately, the Chief Science Officer, Lieutenant German Galven, detected some suspicious activity among the mountain peaks of Karakka<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-montreal/OqmSduljQJc ''Lieutenant German Galven - Houston, We Already Have a Problem'']</ref>, and the Chief Helmswoman, Lieutenant Junior Grade Tiria Hamasaki noted that the two Klingon warbirds were on an unusual state of alert but had not challenged the Montreal upon arrival.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-montreal/IRC5-agY3U8 ''Lieutenant Junior Grade Tiria Hamasaki - When every shadow contains a possibility of danger'']</ref>.

With the damage to the ship, Chief Engineering Officer Jacob Harkrow started dispatching teams to repair the shield emitters while casualties began to reach Sickbay.

During this, the investigation into the source of the mucilage continued. Eventually, they found an organism and were attempting to investigate it.
