Sivuk of Vulcan

USS Raeant NCC 3345-G

 

While docked at Freedom Station, we made contact with both the Mji and the Poy, who seem to be affected by a strange malady, the cause of which has yet to be determined.  Common complaints are headache, nausea, paranoia, and assorted aches and pains.  Since I am not a medical officer, I have left the diagnosis and treatment of these people to Dr. Matthews and have confined myself to the scientific investigation of cause - which brings us full circle.  

 

Scans show no pathogens present in either the Poy or the Mji.  A curious note: a number of discarded Ferengi uniforms were found aboard the USS Valiant with the Mji refugees. We have as yet had no opportunity to explore other factors that could create such an illness, being occupied with a potential threat to the ship.

 

As we were towing the incapacitated USS Valiant away from Freedom Station, a Mji task force -- or what they deem to be a task force -- of three vessels has accosted the Raeant and demanded immediate transport of their Ambassador.  It seems that they have had a change in government and are no longer known as the Mji Alliance, but are now known as the Mji Empire and are demanding immediate release of the "medicine" which is being held on Freedom Station.  We have put the Raeant in defensive posture between the Mji force and Freedom Station, and most civilian ships have left the area.

 

On a positive note, we have received another science officer, a human by the name of Travis Kroells.  He is quite competent and I look forward to working with him.
