The away team has found themselves stuck in an alien complex that was below the colonist's mine. They discovered beacon in a primary chamber that appears to be broadcasting the signal that led them there in the first place. As we pick up, the crew is exploring more of the complex, hopefully looking for an exit.

Irene and Tovar believe they may have made a discovery that may help the crew learn more about the people who built the facility and what it is for, while the rest of the team has discovered a room with numerous storage lockers, a platform, and a console.

The crew continues to explore the underground facility. Irene and Tovar have discovered some holo images of what appear to be star maps, though they have not yet been able to make much out of them beyond that, while the rest of the team have found an extremely elaborate door at the end of a hallway -- could it be an exit?

With Tovar guiding them, the team has returned to the encampment where the earthquake was felt a wee bit more acutely. The team has been lead back to the holding area while Tovar meets with the leaders.

Having managed to avoid complete disaster, the away team(s) have returned to Excalibur, breaking orbit and leaving a "navigational hazard buoy" in their wake. There is still the problem of the missing science vessel, however, and Swain has gathered senior staff to the observation lounge to further discuss the issue.

In an effort to make their search for the missing science vessel a bit easier, science and engineering are working on modifying probes to analyze the Expanse and look for clues.

As Excalibur continues to search for the lost science vessel, they are preparing to launch probes to help map the general area and narrow down where the ship might have gone.

As Excalibur continues to search for the lost science vessel, the probe they launched to map the area has discovered an interesting signal that resembles a Star Fleet navigational beacon. The ship is en route.

As Excalibur continues to search for the lost science vessel, the probe they launched to map the area has discovered an interesting signal that resembles a Star Fleet navigational beacon. The ship has reached the first beacon and just encountered a strong gravimetric wave.

Having recovered the probe and not gotten stuck in a gravity eddy, Excalibur is following a signal that appears to be Federation in origin, hoping perhaps that it is the trail of the USS Caroline Mikkelsen, which you may recall, was the original purpose of us coming here to the Shackleton Expanse.

The Excalibur has found the USS Caroline Mikkelsen in orbit of a vaguely M-class planet in an uncharted system.  An away team (of all of you) has been put together and is preparing to beam over to the Caroline Mikkelsen, which appears to be devoid of life, but otherwise functional.

The Excalibur has found the Caroline Mikkelsen in orbit of a M-Class Planet in an uncharted system. None of the records aboard the ship explain where the crew may have gone. The only clue at this juncture has been a transporter log of an away team that beamed to the surface to conduct a mineralogy survey a few hours before the ships logs mysteriously went blank. As we pick up, a team is aboard the Caroline Mikkelsen continue to search the ship, while Irene and Will are working to rig a probe to scan the surface area near where the team beamed down.

Excalibur is in orbit of a M-class planet where they are investigating the disappearance of the crew of the USS Caroline Mikkelsen deep within the Shackleton Expanse.  When we last left off, Will, Irene and their teams were working to see what they could retrieve from the CM's computer core. Rex and Jalen were going into Captain's quarters.

MISSION BRIEF: The Excalibur is in orbit of a, barely, M-Class planet in the Shackleton Expanse where they have located the USS Caroline Mikkelsen abandoned in orbit. Our efforts to find the crew (or what became of them) have so far been fruitless. As the crew continued to search for clues, a Romulan warbird -- the RES Elarion, commanded by the brother of our former crewman Issaha N'Dak -- has decloaked.

A Romulan vessel, the RES Elarion, has decloaked and offered their services in helping us find the missing crew of the Caroline Mikkelsen, and perhaps a missing science team of their own. As we pick up, a team from both ships are materializing on the surface where a signal that brought us here has been emanating. It also happens to be the same location that the last records of the CM showed an engineering team beam to before all the records stop.

A crew from the Excalibur has teamed up with a team from the Romulan warbird Elarion to search the surface for clues of the two missing crews (and ship in the Romulans case.) When we pick up, the team is headed towards the triangulated source of a rudimentary signal that drew both the Excalibur and Elarion to this system.  So far there has been no signs of either crew, or really anything more than a few small lizards.

The joint teams have discovered the first signs of not only the missing Starfleet crew, but of the Romulans as well in the form of a camp outside of a cave system. A few meters inside the cave, they also located the source of the transmission that drew Elarion and Excalibur to the system -- a heavily modified Federation emergency beacon, but so far nothing else. As we picked up, the two teams were heading deeper inside the cave to continue their search.

Excalibur's crew alongside the Romulans continue their search for the missing crew of the two ships. As we left off, Irene and one the Romulan science officers discovered what appears to be a large set of primitive doors, further reinforcing notions that the planet had been, at least at one point, inhabited. Meanwhile, the other part of the away team was investigating a long-abandoned campsite where Will stepped on a rake.

When we last left off, t'Ditsy touched a crystal like object that briefly caused faded images of others to appear. they included what appeared to be the former inhabitants of the planet, but also members of the romuland and starfleet crews.

The crew have found themselves in uh... well its unclear what or where they are exactly (or when) after t'Ditsy grabbed a strange crystal. When the special effects finished, they were in what appeared to be the planet's distant past when it was verdant and occupied by a pre-industrial society of hominids the crew had seen as faded images when t'Ditsy first touched the crystal. They were greeted by Vyane who somewhat cryptically referred to the other crews.
