Mission Summaries - Season 5: Transition

OOC Date May 15, 2011

IC Date October 9, 2385

 

Excalibur's crew, mostly cleared of wrong doing, received their new orders to report back, or in some cases to report to new assignments. Captain Corizon's retirement was made official some days before and new Captain, Asher Swain, was assigned to command the Excalibur going forward. As the crew shuffled back to the Excalibur, we also learned that Chief of Security Mark Garrison had decided to retire as well, giving way to a new chief of security, Ryan Mesner and that Lieutenant Victria had also been reassigned. With the new crew largely all aboard, Excalibur disembarked McKinley Station and headed for Mars to take on new fighters and supplies before heading to Deep Space 9.

 

TBS: 10 days.

Excalibur's journey to Deep Space 9 continued relatively routinely. Though there had been some small mix-ups in supply requisitions, nothing out of the ordinary had occurred. Upon arrival, Captain Swain informed Wydown that the crew could have liberty for roughly two days while a number of final supplies were brought aboard and the last of the new crew rotation came aboard. After that, Excalibur would wait in queue for wormhole transit.

After taking aboard a final load of cargo and crew at Deep Space 9, Excalibur journeyed through the wormhole uneventfully, though the bridge crew was treated to a light show, utilizing the 3-D holodisplay during the crossing. Exiting the wormhole, Excalibur headed for Camelot.

Excalibur arrived at Camelot during the middle of a Ventan 'Festival of Renewal,' a joint venture between the local Ventan people and Camelot to help further cultural exchange. The crew was given four days of liberty while preparations were made for a new mission. Swain tasked Science and Engineering with 'securing' the materials for a series of probes for said mission, a geologic survey of the Endorin system, a young still cooling star system a week's travel away from Camelot.

With official orders cut and liberty at an end, Excalibur got underway for her first real mission under command of Captain Swain. Engineering and Science continued working on the probes, while the first officer got some TLC from medical.

En route, Excalibur was contacted by Camelot Station with modified orders. For now, the science mission had been scrapped and Excalibur was redirected to the Caldor system where they were to render aide. Caldor, a former Dominion holding, had experienced a number of large earthquakes and had asked the Federation for assistance.

Arriving in orbit, Excalibur contacted the planet to begin assisting them. Commander Wydown was ordered to take point in relief efforts. During communication between the planet and Excalibur, another massive quake (8.2 magnitude) was observed, only furthering an already critical situation. Compounding matters was a near disaster at one of the six geothermal power plants. Though stabilized for the moment, the latter became an engineering project.

TBS: 2 hours

Aboard Excalibur, preparations continued to launch relief efforts between medical, security and the marines; efforts that now broadened in scope to include medical relief, search and rescue, and security concerns, as well as other humanitarian efforts. Science began looking more into the geological issues, and requested more data from Dominion Archives, via Camelot. Commander Admiran and a team of "shock engineers" beamed down to the ailing power plant where they found things to be not what they'd expected, concerns grew even graver when one of the engineers tricorder's radiation alarms began sounding, despite the instance of Administrator Galon that there was "nothing reactive" about the plant.

TBS: 25-30 minutes

The Relief teams beamed to the planet to begin their efforts while Engineering dealt with the on going situation at the power plant. Aboard Excalibur science continued to gather data.

Planet side, the relief teams continued to work with planetary authorities to stabilize the situation, but were treading water when another strong quake rattled the planet causing further damage. Aboard Excalibur, Tandaris and the engineering teams evacuated after ordering a shutdown of all plants on the planet and began running diagnostics, while science conducted experiments into origin of the quakes having fully tracked the quake in progress and combining those with scans from special probes originally intended for thermogeologic experiments on a baby star system. Science and engineering both came to startling conclusions. Tandaris and company found a recursive error, possibly a virus in an automatic update system that what was distributed across the network control system of all the plants and was disrupting water reclamation, essentially sucking water out of the rift valley like a shop vac; science concluded that the earthquakes were resulting from the water table being drastically reduced causing wide scale subsidence.

 

Swain has tasked them with coming up with solutions to present to the local leaders.

 

Meanwhile a medical ship has been dispatched by Camlelot and will arrive in a few days to take over relief efforts from an overwhelmed Excalibur crew.

Excalibur's science and engineering teams devised a plan to pump water back into the aquafir, while engineering helped rewrite subroutines in the power planet's control systems that allowed the problem to occur and conducted some basic training with the planet's engineering corps to help them have a better understanding of the planet's systems. Engineering teams from Starfleet Corps. will continue to work with the planet's inhabitants over the next year to improve their understanding and to develop alternative power systems.

 

Commander Wydown's teams began handing off duties to the dedicated Medical ship, USS Jarvik with few trouble. Later we learned several people on the recovery teams had been exposed to a bacterial infection, though medical was able to solve the problem easily.

 

With the planet stabilized and a dedicated medical ship in orbit, Excalibur headed for home once more. Arriving at Camelot, Excalibur resupplied and the crew enjoyed a short leave before new orders were cut dispatching Excalibur, Cape Horn and the Valorous to escort a convoy of refugees to Camelot.

 

En route, Excalibur and company encountered a large ion storm and slowed to circumnavigate. Eventually they arrived to find the convoy, who'd also gone through the edges of the ion storm, in mostly good shape. However, the High Priestess of the Hakar, Mirinaol, indicated that one of their vessels had gone missing during the journey. Captain Swain agreed to help locate the missing vessel, if possible and called a staff meeting to discuss the operation.

Excalibur continued towards Camelot with the Masovian and Kalith vessels, meeting up with the Cape Horn, Valorous and the rest of the Hakarian convoy. Swain tooka breather from his 'productive' meetings with the Kalith, while Wydown did the same with her meetings with the Masovians. Engineering and Science continue to work on the data given to them by Command. Medical remains aboard the Masovians vessel providing care and comfort to the refugees.
