EXETERRPG: (16 - 0859) 2O/CEO - Lieutenant Keira Merek

[Todd Holladay]

NRPG: This will allow me to set the stage of what exactly is down there, some of the ground work I did as various NPCs wasn’t exactly apparent, I’m going to clarify that, here hopefully.

RPG:
Mission: The Flames of Purity
Day: 16  
Stardate: 2445.09.16

(USS Exeter – Engineering Conference Room – 2O/CEO – Lieutenant Keira Merek – 0859)

As the assigned personnel filtered in the smaller conference room with no windows, Keira began to speak.

“Thank you for being prompt.” She started. “I did some digging and the planet we are going to was one of the planets chosen by the Vedek Assembly for a post Dominion War Shrine to the Prophets on the Gamma quadrant side of the Wormhole. You can reference DS9 log 2 – 26, Stardate 2370.06.02 if you want the fine details of the original mission.  The site was chosen as a candidate because it was one of the planets the Bajoran Emissary Captain Sisco had stepped foot on that same year. It was not chosen because it still technically belongs to the Dominion, though they have made no effort to further develop the planet since that year.”

(Reply any)

“Sensors indicate no Dominion presence in orbit or on the planet. No Ships and no settlements. You are correct though it is the Captain’s call, and it’s our job to give him options. If I know the Captain as well as I think I do, he’s already planned on crossing that line. With one of his best officers and a whole planet, maybe the sector and two quadrants in the balance, I’d put real money on some mission going forward.”

(Reply Any)

“Our science department has done a thorough job of scanning the planet from this distance.” Keira spoke as she pulled up the scan results they had and threw them  up on the display hologram on the center of the table. The display used a standard Starfleet cartography, green for vegetation, blue for water white for manufactured structures, brown for non-vegetative elevated terrain. A small planet appeared with mostly vegetation on the surface and just under 50% surface water, and some mountainous terrain. She zoomed in on a particular area on the globe, which replaced the globe with a map like three dimensional representation of what was the area in question. A small white structure mostly completed shrine with living quarters attached could be seen in the middle of the display. Off the back of the structure but still on the grounds of the building three energy signatures could be seen, one pink and domed to one side, one dark blue piece of machinery with an antennae or dish pointed skyward, and one very small red one under two meters tall oblong and vertical between the other two and a bright crimson color. Over the entire section of it a very large circular area cast a cyan shade over everything in the area. She pointed to each in turn, “Temple, maybe a dozen life signs. Energy shield, maybe a cell, one life sign. Maybe a communications array or possibly a weapon of sorts. The shaded area is likely a transport inhibitor field, but what is that?” She asked pointing to the last smallest volume energy signature but not the lowest, not by a long shot.

“The only way to defeat fear is to tell it 'No'." No - we will not take shortcuts on the path to righteousness. No - we will not break the rules that protect us from our basest instincts. No - we will not allow desperation to destroy moral authority.” - Michael Burnham, Star Trek: Discovery

“No, I’m from Iowa, I only work in outer space.” – Adm. James T. Kirk, “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home”
