03 August - 30 November 2006
Day 1 - Shore Leave - Station Dyerma IV
In the ship's Arboretum, Vahl considers the way their previous mission
has ended, and how several crew members, including their CMO and CEO
have decided to stay on Phorgenica in order to help the population.
As soon as they reach the station, Vahl and Gol’Khar make plans to
explore planet Dyerma III and get the best of their shore leave.
Meanwhile, in the lounge, June discovers from Max Berg that Lt Cmdr
Hadley and Ashley (npcs) have decided to accompany Lt Vaelx (npc) to
the USS Yorktown. June also learns that she is supposed to meet a
trader on Dyerma III, and secure local delicacies from him, all in the
name of a trade agreement between this planet and the Federation.
Although Captain Persson would have been quite happy to spend his shore
leave on board the Dark Matter, he receives a pressing invitation from
the Dyermian Prime Minister, which he cannot refuse. In the Ministerial
Shuttle that is taking him to the property of the PM, Lars realizes
that the Dyermian secretary who is accompanying him is doing all she
can to seduce him.
Meanwhile, June Craig and Erz Finh (npc) find themselves lost in what
appears to be a real labyrinth. The local trader who finally comes to
their rescue explains to them that the purpose of this maze is to test
the determination of his clients.
On the USS Romania, a Norway class ship en route to Dyerma IV,
Counsellor Tyvek meets with Ensign Rawlins (npc), who is also to serve
on the USS Dark Matter.
On Station Dyerma IV, Lt Raissa Moonsong reflects on her orders to
report to the USS Dark Matter. After a six week Leave of Absence to
recover from a painful loss, Raissa is not sure that she is prepared to
run a sickbay again.
After a few hours spent in a hotel, Vahl and Gol’Khar head to a remote
island on planet Dyerma III. The XO is looking forward to a quiet
afternoon on the beach, but the couple is soon disturbed by an uncanny
insect formation that appears under the sand.
On Dyerma III, June Craig’s efforts to ‘torture’ the trader who trapped
her in his ‘maze’ are cut short when Erz (npc) receive a call
pertaining to the misbehaviour of his son during a party at school.
After a customary visit by the Captain, Dr Moonsong books an
appointment with the new Counsellor, in the hope of solving her issues
with her recent transfer to the Dark Matter.
While Claryx Vahl is busy with ship’s matters, Lt Gol’Khar requests the
services of MacDuff (npc) to solve the mystery around the sand
creatures encountered on the beach. They discover that by emitting a
sonic wave, these insects are capable of displace even the most compact
and dense rock strata.
Day 2
While he is getting familiar with his new office, Counsellor Tyvek
discovers that two officers have already requested to see him.
Having managed to escape from the persistent Dyermian secretary, Lars
Persson heads for the starbase, for a more pleasant meeting with
Captain Lecomte (npc). After a detailed technological tour of the
station, Lars is informed that Ambassador Bracket (npc) wishes to speak
with him urgently. Once in Bracket’s lavish office, the Captain
discovers that under the excuse of political reasons, the Diplomat
expects him to report directly to his diplomatic department.
During lunch with Gol’Khar, Claryx Vahl realizes that on the whole she
has little to no interest for planet Dyerma III and feels more at ease
when the DM is away in space.
Upset at his failure to reason Captain Persson, Ambassador Bracket
contacts June Craig and manages to convince her to send him regular
reports regarding the Dark Matter.
Mission Start
Admiral Davison (npc) briefs Captain Persson about his next mission.
The Dark Matter is to investigate the crash site of a Federation vessel
that appears to come from the future. Due to the fact that time travel
is likely to be involved, the mission has been classified.
After discovering her office and quarters, Lt Moonsong goes to the
Arboretum. She is able to relax among the plants, until her commbadge
chirps, reminding her of her appointment with the Counsellor.
During the interview, the CMO wonders why she has been assigned to a
senior position considering her more recent history. A question that
quickly leads to her recent loss and the feeling of guilt harbour.
Although, as Lt Tyvek soon discovers, the turmoil faced by Lt Moonsong
is far deeper than that.
In the meantime, Lt Megan Revvik, who has just joined the Dark Matter
as the Assistant Counsellor settles into her quarters. Once she is
ready, she contacts her direct superior, wondering how the two
Counsellors will get along, considering that she is only part Vulcan
and has not rejected her emotions.
Persson informs his XO of their upcoming mission, making sure that no civilian will become involved in this assignment.
It doesn’t take long for June Craig to feel the air of secrecy that
seems to have taken a hold of the Dark Matter. While she is balancing
what she should be doing regarding Bracket’s request, she is distracted
by Trok. The Ferengi bartender is unhappy at the sudden shore leave
cancellation and wants some form of compensation. Menaces and loudly
spoken words are uttered, but Trok doesn’t manage to obtain a
satisfactory arrangement.
Upon reading the basic specs of their new mission, which is to take
them on a glaciated planet, Lt Gol’Khar decides to offer the position
as his assistant to Lt (jg) MacDuff (npc).
During the mission briefing, the need to repair the three robots
present on planet Antarka are stressed, along with the danger of
exploring a class P planet.
A late addition to the Dark Matter crew, CEO Lt Thomas
Kent, is on a type 20 shuttle travelling to meet up with his next
assignment. This is something that gives him ample time to think of his
past, the reasons why he left his home-town, his career at the Daystrom
Institute of Technology and his love affairs.
Day 3
With the ship now speeding on its way to Antarka, Captain Persson
contemplates the intricacies of their new mission, particularly the
absence of Temporal Investigators. If the vessel they were about to
investigate had travelled through time, it stood to reason that the
Department of Temporal Investigation would be involved. Yet Admiral
Davison hadn’t said a word about them.
Unable to sleep, Lt Gol’Khar wakes up at 04.48 and proceeds to have his
breakfast, which consists of a mammoth portion of oatmeal. Once his
hunger has been quenched, he visits the science labs, occupied by PO2
Pete smith (npc), who is analysing what data they have on planet
Antarka.
Counsellor Tyvek reflects on the mystery posed by the USS Ophelia, then
contacts his assistant, feeling more than intrigued by Lt Revvik’s
double heritage and how she uses her special abilities.
During their meeting Lt Tyvek gauges the Counselling tactics of his
Assistant and decides to let her tackle with Lt Kent’s evaluation.
The Dark Matter slows down in order to allow shuttlecraft Argos to
board the ship and Captain Persson sends Lt Berg (npc) to check the
credentials of the new CEO. As soon as he is on board, Lt Kent
befriends Ensign Munro (npc) .When he reaches his quarters and has a
chance to check on his department, he is somewhat shocked to discover
the DM has a light engineering crew complement, which translates to
ten-hour duty shifts.
June Craig is increasingly disgusted by the way the crew avoids her
ever since the DM embarked on a so called classified mission. In
addition Klam (npc) gives her some concern when his dislike of
Counsellors seems to point to a dark past that he is very keen to hide.
While Lt Moonsong is coping with the sudden influx of personnel, she is
interrupted by the entry of Lt Kent who is eager to have his physical.
However, she soon discovers that he has an ulterior motive as he starts
to flirt outrageously with her.
Cmdr Vahl takes advantage of the evening to have a holo session using a
program configured to recreate the harsh weather conditions of Antarka.
As she explores the fake ice cap, she considers the composition of her
forthcoming away team.
At the same time, longing to see Lt Moonsong again, Lt Kent beams her
directly into the Arboretum. The following encounter doesn’t go too
nicely as the CMO is furious at this blatant breach of her privacy. To
his credit the CEO apologises right away by sending a special meal to
her quarters.
Late in the evening, June Craig makes another attempt to
spend a friendly moment with her staff. However when Klam (npc) menaces
to slap Trok (npc) over a derisive comment, she dismisses them and
heads for the holodeck.
Day 4
When Claryx Vahl discovers that she is due for an evaluation, she
decides to pre-empt Counsellor Tyvek's call and book an appointment.
Before going to his office, she revises carefully the answers she will
give to him when her life and choice of career are put under the
microscope.
Aware that Lt Kent has misused the transporter for personal reasons,
Captain Persson lectures the young CEO on Starfleet regulations and the
urgency to focus on the present mission.
After spending some time reviewing what is known of planet Antarka, Lt
Moonsong leaves sickbay to go the mess hall. There, she meets with Lt
Revvik. Despite the young Counsellor's general curiosity about the
crew, Raissa refrains from mentioning anything about Lt Kent.
While he is on duty on the Bridge, Lt Gol'Khar detects an object
travelling four hours away from the Dark Matter. Further observations
reveal not only that it seems to be the USS Ophelia, but that there is
also a temporal distortion between the ship itself and the space around
it. The Klingon scientist suggests that it could be caused by a
temporal rift, and is proven right when the Ophelia suddenly vanishes.
A disturbance ensued, interfering with the Dark Matter's warp bubble.
Lt Kent promptly corrects the problem and swiftly turns his attention
to Ensign Spiers (npc).
Day 5
Lt Tyvek decides to spend some time in the lounge to observe the social
interactions of
the crew. While he is noting the mannerisms of certain officers as they
speak or flirt with other colleagues, he also ponders on the
implications of time travel. It seems natural to him that if a first
encounter from another time line should arise, he, as a Vulcan, would
be the best choice to interact with that person.
Cmdr Vahl confronts June Craig over a civilian petition that she has
just received. She feels that Craig has a vested interest in this
sudden "need to know" expressed by the civilians. But it turns out that
the bar manager has nothing to do with this venture.
As soon as Captain Persson hears of this turmoil among civilians, he
meets their leader, professor Dellaert (npc) and tell him in no
uncertain terms that there is no way any form of information will
transpire regarding the mission they've just embarked on. Once this
unpleasant task is done with, Lars makes his way to the science
department. But he blacks out while walking along a corridor...
Following his discussion with the Captain, Dellaert
(npc) goes to the lounge to brag about what he will do once he is
elected as the representative for civilians on the ship.
Day 6
Captain Persson makes an unwilling stay in sickbay. Despite Vahl’s
suspicion that he possesses some abilities to perceive abnormal events,
Dr Monsoong confirms that there is nothing noticeable in Persson’s
condition.
The probe launched by the Science Department reveals that a 151 metre
long ship is indeed encased 30 metres deep on planet Antarka.
During his evaluation by Lt Revvik, the CEO tries his usual smooth talking, without much success.
Day 7
Lt Tyvek reflects on the history of time travel witin the Federation and how it can often lead to paradoxes.
Day 8
While she is celebrating her successful nomination as the civilian
representative, June Craig is informed by the XO that she will have to
consult a Counsellor before taking her new functions
Day 9
As soon as the Dark Matter arrives at Antarka, the senior staff is
subjected to a second briefing where they are informed that once the
mission is completed, the USS Ophelia will have to be destroyed.
Feeling absolutely bored to be confined within the databanks of the
ship's computer, the EMH (npc) contacts the holowaiter for a chat. As
it turns out, he has an ulterior motive : to convince Abe to let him
impersonate the holowaiter for one hour. Lt (jg) Sertak (npc), who is
eager to play his part in the away team, observes the preparation of
the shuttle Solar Eclipse.
Concerns spoken by the CMO as to life-forms that might have developed
within the Ophelia's core prompts the science department to further
their scans. Lt Tomek (npc) locates micro organisms inside the Ophelia
on the upper section of the warp core. A piece of information that
delays the landing on Antarka.
After a counselling session with Ensign Cade (npc) who is rather
nervous about his posting on the DM, Lt Tyvek starts to meditate.
However this attempt is cut short by the distinct impression that there
is a presence in his office. Wondering whether this is linked to the
experience Captain Persson recently underwent, he alerts the Bridge of
what has just happened to him.
The Solar Eclipse is finally ready to leave the DM. Piloted by Lt
Gol'Khar, it makes a relatively smooth journey to the surface of
Antarka. Once they have donned their EVA suits, the teams separate into
two groups and venture onto the snow.
After considering what Lt Tyvek has been through, Captain Persson
decides that since the Counsellor seems to be attuned to the same
apparitions as he did, it is essential that he accompanies the away
team once they are ready to explore the Ophelia.
When June returns to the lounge and discovers that her
staff have allowed Abe (impersonated by the EMH) to take control of the
kitchen, she terminates the holo-waiter.
Gol’Khar’s and Moonsong’s team detect some life -signs. While
investigating its source, they are attacked by a small creature.
Moments later, the CMO is victim of a strange phenomenon, where she
looses track of reality and hears voices.
The Engineers return to the DM with the 1st robot. Vahl and Sertak
(npc) pursue their researches and locate the second robot, embedded in
the face of a cliff.
With the notion that these temporal anomalies could actually be
attempts at communicating with the DM, Tyvek resolves to trigger one
such experience, to see what happens next.
Captain Persson decides that the best course of action is to send the EMH (npc) to explore the USS Ophelia.
While the away team returns to the DM with the final robot, MacDuff
briefs the very reluctant Medical Program on his new assignment.
Professor Dellaert (npc) attempts to blackmail June
Craig with a compromising photo of her. When he realizes that it has no
effect on the Bar Manager, he decides to give the photo to Trok (npc)
In sickbay, and under the ever watchful eye of nurse Bendrix (npc), Lt
Tyvek tries to communicate with the people behind the temporal
disturbances, unfortunately he doesn’t manage to obtain the results he
sought.
Feeling that he constantly faces personal danger, the EMH (npc)
explores the USS Ophelia. After discovering a navigation centre, a
kitchen and an empty life support dormitory, he finally reaches the
engine room.
Erz Finh (npc) pays a visit to the lounge, where after a long discussion he convinces June not to reset her holo-waiter.
Trapped within an extra-dimensional realm, Milla Riverdale (npc),
Captain of the USS Ophelia, once again tries her best to convey
essential information to Counsellor Tyvek.
Lt Gol'Khar pays a visit to engineering and learns from
Ensign Spiers (npc) that the two robots found on Antarka have been
victim of temporal distortions. This proves once and for all that it
was indeed very dangerous for the away teams to remain on the surface
of Antarka.
In the engine rooms of the Ophelia, the EMH discovers that the place is
built to be entirely operated by giant robotic arms attached to the
ceiling. Following his orders, Hereward dutifully collects a sample of
the leaked micro-organisms present within the upper section of the warp
core.
June Craig has a discussion with Trok (jpc) regarding the recent
behaviour of Dellaert (npc). But the Ferengi denies any meeting with
the unpalatable professor.
While Counsellor Tyvek is finally managing to receive a message from
the Ophelia Captain, the ship from the future suddenly powers up,
melting most of the ice that encased it.
Right after Lt Tyvek has reported the information given to him, the
Ophelia disappears in a flash of light. Captain Persson, confident that
the Ophelia has managed to resume its journey, nonetheless decides to
remain a few hours around Antarka to check that the temporal
disturbances no longer occur.
- Shore Leave -
Day 9 - En route to Station Dyerma IV
Once Lt MacDuff (npc) has finished reviewing Abe's (npc)
programme, June Craig confronts her holo-waiter over what has happened
earlier on in the lounge. In his impeccable waiter mode, the hologram
explains to her that the EMH felt he was entitled to help out in the
lounge, citing the obscure 'Goldilocks enigma' in the process.
Day 12
After sending his report to Admiral Davison (npc), Captain Persson
cannot help thinking that all this secrecy around time travel is
unnecessary. He firmly believes that the knowledge gained from this
technology, if used for the good of everyone, could be most
advantageous to all living things. He is however relieved that in the
end, he didn't have to destroy the USS Ophelia, as his first orders
suggested.
Day 14
While the USS Dark Matter is but 4 days away from Dyerma IV, Cmdr Vahl
makes arrangements for the Ophelia micro-organisms to be transferred
securely off to the station. She later has a discussion with the EMH
about his recent behaviour.
Day 15
In the lounge, Counsellor Tyvek is sipping tea while listening to the
usual chatter of the crew. When Lt Moonsong (npc) makes an appearance,
the Vulcan decides to turn his attention towards her. Together they
speak of the Doctor's decision to leave the DM for the USS Caduceus, a
medical ship, and her reasons behind this choice.
Lt Go'Khar goes to the lounge with the firm intention of trying out the
chocolate pancakes praised by several crewmembers. He loses his temper
when Kam (npc) and June Craig insist that the lounge no longer serve
this type of dessert. Instead, and in a bid to calm the Klingon, June
serves him replicated pancakes, which happen to taste awful.
Day 16
On Station Dyerma IV, Lt Jack Ryan, Chief of Security, is woken up by
an intruder alert. The search leads him and his men towards sickbay.
During the ensuing fight, Ryan pretends to be dead to fool the intruder
and shoot him down. While he returns to his quarters to have some
sleep, two security officers deal with the custody of the alien.
Day 17
Trok's eagerness to begin his shoreleave convinces June that he is
definitely up to something, but she decides to remain quiet about it.
Claryx Vahl has to inform Gol'Khar that they won't be sharing their
shore leave this time, since she has other commitments. Unfortunately
for her, they are linked with the arrival of some Betazed relatives.
Although he is disappointed, Gol'Khar still visits Dyerma IV. There, he
meets with the Garann sisters (Klingons), who insist on spending the
afternoon with him.
As soon as he steps onto the Starbase, Captain Persson is accosted by
Ben Tyning (npc) a merchant Captain whose life he saved some years ago.
But Lars can't remember anything about him. They nonetheless go to a
restaurant to try and revive his memory. At the end of the meal,
someone offers them drinks, which happened to be drugged.
Vahl meets with her relatives and discovers that they are about to open
an exclusive hotel on the Starbase, hoping that she will offer them
some involvement.
Tyvek goes through a training session on the holodeck, but is rather
disappointed by his performance. After a video chat with his wife,
where he learns that his son is about to enrol in Starfleet Academy,
the Counsellor decides to go to the Starbase to acquire a new training
program.
Lt Jack Ryan is enjoying a rare period of rest in his
quarters when he is disturbed by a presence, affecting to be from a Q
entity that has taken a sudden interest in Jack's life. However, when
moments later Max Berg (npc) calls at his door, it becomes clear that
the entity is nothing but a figment of the Chief's imagination.
June Craig takes advantage of a trip to planet Dyerma III to ask Erz
Finh (npc) about the mother of his son, and more importantly whether he
expects her to make a come back into his life.
Lt Gol'Khar carries on with his plan to get the two Garann sisters
completely drunk. It is a total success and he discovers that they are
after a Klingon Captain named Mog'vir, who has been charged with acts
of treason, murder and cowardice by the High Council.
Captain Persson and Ben Tyning (npc) slowly regain consciousness in
what appears to be a bunk in a Klingon vessel. The Klingons now being
allies, the two captives can only surmise that they are at the hand of
a group of renegades. Before they have time to elaborate on a possible
escape plan a huge Klingon opens the door and take Tyning away.
While Cmdr Vahl is enjoying the comfort of a lavish room at the hotel
now run by her cousins, she receives an urgent call from the Dark
Matter. Lt Lomax (npc) informs her that Captain Persson cannot be
reached. A situation the comm officer was made aware of after
Ambassador Braket (npc) failed to speak with Persson.
After making a reasonable profit thanks to a fruitful transaction on
planet Dyerma III, Trok pays a visit to the starbase to spend his ill
gotten gains and enjoy his shore leave. However he cannot get Craig out
of his mind and the potential consequences of his recent actions gives
him stomach aches.
Gol'Khar wakes up in a hotel room, and promptly starts clearing the
remnants of his recent drinking session from his head. He has barely
taken two sips of his Raktajino when Cmdr Vahl contacts him about the
disappearance of Captain Persson.
On Ben's return to their 'cell', Lars learns that the ship involved in
the accident where the two men first met belonged to their Klingon
captors. Now these Klingons are seeking vengeance.
When the two captives are given some food, Lars uses a ploy to make it
looks like he has stabbed his comrade in order to fool their guard.
Cmdr Vahl is investigating the disappearance of Captain
Persson. She discovers that her CO had last been seen in a restaurant,
where he supposedly got drunk and was carried away by two so-called
friends. Now convinced that Persson is no longer on the Starbase, she
returns to the DM.
Determined to buy a new training program, Lt Tyvek pays a visit to a
software shop on Dyerma IV. Unfortunately for him, the vendor corrupts
his selected choice: " Standard Combat Training and Exercise" with the
newest edition of "Vulcan Love Slave". The ill-fated transaction is
interrupted when Cmdr Vahl calls for all the heads of Department to
report to the DM Bridge.
Feeling dejected after Finh's sudden summons to the DM, June Craig
sulks on the balcony of her hotel room. Seeing her, a group of
xenophobic Dyermians throw a stone at her, which hits her squarely on
her face. Unable to see to her injury herself, June asks to be beamed
back urgently to sickbay. As soon as he sees her, Hereward sedates her.
Lars and Ben manage to leave their cell and progress carefully to the
Bridge of the ship were they have been abducted. Armed with their
guard's disruptor they confront the Klingon responsible for the
situation they are in. When the renegade leaps at him, Lars steps aside
and hits him hard with his own weapon. He then tries to contact the
Dark Matter.
Having received Persson's hail, the Dark Matter promptly goes to his
rescue and beams him back onboard, along with the renegade leader,
which Lt Gol'Khar recognises instantly as being Mog'vir (npc), the
traitor that is wanted by the High Council
Day 18
Captain Persson is forced to confront Ambassador Braket (npc), a
meeting that proves unpleasant on both sides. Braket insists once again
to have one of his diplomats assigned to the DM. And, according to a
report he received, it is June Craig who started the incident on D3 the
previous day.
Cmdr Vahl meets again with Lt Cmdr T'Mey (npc). The Starbase's XO
informs her that the intruder alert they recently suffered bears no
connection with the current events. According to her the culprit is
nothing more than a drug addict, acting out of sheer despair. The way
Lt Ryan (npc) (then Chief of Security of D4) conducted the arrest
alarms Vahl.
With the various developments occurring on the DM, plus Dyerma III and
IV, Counsellor Tyvek considers that his shore leave is officially over.
He sets out to have sessions with June Craig, Captain Persson and Ben
Tyning (npc)
After a painful wait, Lt Gol'Khar is relieved to
announce to the Garann sisters (npc) that Captain Persson has accepted
to release Mog'vir (npc) into their custody. In their traditional
manner, they promise to be back for the Klingon scientist.
While Trok (npc) is considering whether or not he should give in to
temptation and spend the rest of his latinum in a casino, Dellaert
(npc) tries to convince him to give a false statement regarding Craig's
attack on Dyerma 3.
June Craig and Counsellor Tyvek meet in the holodeck for a quiet chat about diplomacy and stubborn EMHs.
Captain Persson takes advantage of a respite in his day to review the
latest reports. He is contacted by Admiral Davison (npc) who informs
him that he will soon receive the specs for the Dark Matter’s next
mission.
When Cmdr Vahl decides to pay a visit to Lt Jack Ryan (npc), she
discovers that their Chief of Security has not only resigned, but also
that he is rushing to DSO 316 on some urgent business.
Later, Vahl has a word with June Craig, asking her to keep a low
profile during the misunderstanding between Dyerma 3 and the USS Dark
Matter.
As soon as he has been contacted by Cmdr Vahl, Lt Tyvek
rushes to intercept Lt Ryan (npc) before the Security Officer has a
chance to leave the Dark Matter. Unfortunately, despite the presence of
Lt Berg (npc), the encounter doesn't go too well and Ryan ends up in
sickbay.
Gol'Khar and MacDuff meet in the lounge at lunch time. While talking of
their respective relationships, the Klingon scientist gets carried away
and eats the Scot's dessert.
Meanwhile, Vahl prefers to isolate herself from the lounge's crowd and
take advantage of her time to catch up with the latest news from the
scientific community.
Day 19
Following the recent upset on Dyerma 3, Captain Persson is contacted by
the planet's Prime Minister. Although the Minister apologizes for what
has happened, it becomes sorely clear to Persson that Ambassador Braket
(npc) has a lot to answer to in this affair. This is why the Captain
decides to alert Admiral Davison (npc) on the situation. While viewing
images of the starbase on his view screen, Lars is distracted by the
sight of a nearby ship that seems to shift from one visual display to
another.
Because of an old reflex that made Trok (npc) run away when he was
being called by a security officer, the Ferengi finds himself accused
of robbery. Fortunately, his name is soon cleared, but it is not thanks
to June Craig, who was quite happy to let him rot in his cell.
It is a long day for PO2 Morag McRath (npc), who has to monitor the
arrival of new supplies for the DM. However her evening is enlivened
when Lt Sertak (npc) receives a large container, originating from a
long deceased relative.
While visiting the starbase, Lt Gol'Khar meets with Lt
Jon Gregson (npc), Chief of Science on Dyerma IV. Their discussion
converges on one peculiar starship docked at the starbase. Although
Gregson has been advised not to mention its presence, the science
officer can't resist talking about it.
Cmdr Vahl joins Gol'Khar and his counterpart. Together they to go to a
science deck to have a look at the strange ship. Unfortunately its
kaleidoscopic colours have a dangerous hypnotic effect on Vahl and
Gregson, forcing Gol'Khar to put an end to their viewing session.
After a full day in sickbay, Lt Ryan (npc) is as restless as ever. Lt
Tyvek and the EMH (npc) still cannot make head or tail of his story.
However, fate offers them the answer they need when the former Chief of
Security suddenly vanishes into thin air, giving credence to his tale
about the Q that had allegedly contacted him.
On Dyerma IV, June Craig and Trok (npc) are accosted by a meddlesome
Nausicaan. Despite the Ferengi's urge to run away from the situation,
June holds her ground and succeeds in making the intruder accept that
she is not interested in him.
Day 21
Captain Persson is contacted again by Admiral Davison (npc). This time
he receives his new orders: the Dark Matter is to explore a barren
sector some 18 light years away from the starbase. Federation
scientists believe that a space phenomenon registered by their probes
could very well prove to be a wormhole.
A senior staff meeting follows, where after discussing what little spec
they have regarding their new assignment, Ryan's disappearance is
discussed.
Just three hours before the DM is due to leave the starbase, the USS
Nova brings a new transfer for the norway class starship. Ensign Marinu
Lithara, a tactical officer who arrives with an unexpected gift from
Starfleet: a modified type 11 shuttlecraft. As soon as he is onboard,
Lithara reports to the Bridge and take his shift.
Later in the afternoon, Vahl and Gol'Khar meet in a science lab, where
the Klingon expresses his dislike for their new mission. According to
him it will be an excruciatingly boring errand. Yet, as Claryx points
out, what data they have at the moment truly indicates that the source
of x-ray radiation that they perceive is the signature of a proper
wormhole.
Cmdr Vahl is asked by Captain Persson to see Ben Tyning
(npc) off of the ship. The civilian merchant has over extended his
welcome on board and it is by far time that he leaves. As soon as the
transport procedure is done, the Chief Transporter asks to be excused,
so that he can visit the main shuttlebay and have a look at the
StarBlazer.
