NX-05 Challenger

Mission Briefing -- December 4, 2155

 

Included within are what details we have on this medical outbreak. There isn't much, primarily a list of the symptoms associated with the illness and a register of which workers have fallen ill and when. Bioscans of the sick workers have yielded nothing that could hint at a cause of the illness, but these were performed with the first aid equipment we have on the surface. Perhaps your doctors, with the equipment you have on hand, will have better luck. You'll first need to lift the quarantine, of course--submit the data included to your medical staff so they can clear the decision.

 

You'll have to decide whether you want to resolve the medical situation before sending a team to investigate the opening that was uncovered by the excavation. The workers have mostly been avoiding it. In fact, I'm getting reports that a few are rather spooked out by the thing--they're convinced that it's manmade, there's no telling how deep the passage below runs or where it leads to, and one or two have claimed to hear strange noises emerging from it, like hisses or whispers. Probably warped imaginations on account of the illness, but who knows...

 

You'll also want to prepare a welcoming party. The NX-07 Pegasus has arrived with the rest of the fleet additions. Admiral Gardner is on board. He's here to personally inspect the project, and he's looking to board Challenger as soon as you arrive. Speak with you shortly, Captain Moore.
