On a small world, in a small system, a distress call went out.

“Admiral Acton, sir-“
“This had best be important ensign.”
“Yes sir, it is.”
“Well?”
“There’s been a distress signal, from Eridion sir.”
“Eridion? Where-“
“It’s an abandoned Starfleet exploratory post. Abandoned 70 years ago sir.”
“Who’s available?”
“Most suitable sir? The Memorial.”
“Get me her Captain. And bring me a briefing on Eridion.”

=/\=Captain Tralla Sh’Zoarhi, Please report to Admiral Acton’s office.=/\=

Tralla had been walking around the Pramanade of Starbase 243 looking for a birthday present to send to her daughter Lilith who was living with some friends on Earth she turned to her husband who was walking around with her “Honey would you mind finishing up I need to go find out what’s going on” she said before giving him a soft kiss on the cheek before dashing off

Working was calling her away again. That was part of the life of living with a Captain. “Of course.”

she quickly raced off to find out what the Admiral wanted it had been quite a bit since they had been stationed at 243 on guard duty of course it was not anything they did that earned them this They just happened to be the only ship available to do the job so they had been patrolling and making short-ranged runs still she wondered if the Admiral had an actual mission for her and her ship finally Stepping up to the door to the Admirals office she rang the chime

Tralla

“Enter.” The door swished open and revealed the Admiral’s large office. He was sitting, facing away from the door, staring out a window into deep space. “Do come in Captain.”

“How can I help Admiral” she asked walking in and up to his desk she of course had talked to the admiral a couple times but she did not know him well so she was genuenly curious as to what was next

Tralla

Acton spun his chair around, revealing a grave expression beneath his black hair. “Have a seat Captain. I have a new assignment for the Memorial.” He picked up a PaDD and stared at its contents without speaking for a few moments. “75 years ago, a team of scientists requested permission to operate a base on a deeply inhospitable world called Eridion. After five years of operation, the base was abandoned in a crisis. Most of the logs are classified, what remains paints an unclear picture. What we do know is that most of the equipment and the entire structure of the base were left behind. As of 07:30 this morning our long range sensors detected an distress signal coming from Eridion. It lasted only 37 seconds, but it was clear. I’m assigning the Memorial to check it out.”

she was in shock this sounded serious Bases 70 years abandoned did not just start transmitting distress calls “Any intelligence you can share with us would be appreciated sir I would like to know what me and my crew are headed into especially now that a supposedly abandoned base is transmitting a distress call” she said her eyes showing a stern but ready determination

Tralla

Acton leaned back in his chair. “Well from what I can uncover and you have clearance to know, the researchers posted there began to claim symptoms of what they called ‘Eridion Exposure.’ Intel has classified the exact nature of that, though they have revealed that it was largely a psychological phenomenon. They attribute it to isolation, but the research team disagreed and attributed it to something elemental about the planet. They pulled out and left most of everything behind, to the point their CO received four citations for failing to properly execute his duties. And all the others received similar marks on their records. As of now, we don’t know what condition the base is in, if this is a technical fault or if someone is trying to hijack old Starfleet materials. In case there’s anything sensitive there, I’m sending a crew capable of dealing with either without calling for backup. That’d be you.”

-GM

“Sir I must say that I am not happy about what it sounds like you are saying My ship and crew will take this mission on because the Memorial and her crew are capable of anything however you are sending us into a situation with very limited intelligence which more than likely will lead to unnecessary casualties and I really don’t appreciate that however as I said Me my ship and my crew are on this and I, of course, am not saying that your withholding information without reason I understand what Classified means I just want my protest about being sent in with limited intel on the record,” She said This was just her personality and was not intended to be insubordinate in any way

Tralla

“I understand your discomfort, Captain. Honestly the facts we have are 70 years old, how accurate the reports I have are, I don’t know. But we do need to send someone to investigate a distress signal.” He tossed the PaDD he was holding onto his desk. “Your protest is noted Captain. Noted and fully understood.”

-GM

OOC Gm please wait to answer Tralla’s question until i confirm with others that i got the goahead for what is going on oK

“Thank you Admiral Will that be all?” she asked simply giving him a smile that showed she was comforted by how he responded to her small protest “Oh have you heard anything about my request to bring abord the Memorial a few Cutlass fighters?” she asked

Tralla

The admiral tapped a few things on his desk computer console. “The Memorial has been approved to take on a small fighter wing. Base crews should be prepping this for transfer now, but I’ll mark the order urgent so it happens swiftly and you can depart.”

-GM

OOC making an excuse for why we have not yet established the WTR-600s and other basic items in the tech manual

Thank you Admiral along with this mornings shipment of updated Personnel equipment the memorial should be in great shape now” she said happily “So yeah if there is nothing else you need me for Admiral I will gather my care and prepare my ship to go investigate” she said

Tralla

“There’s nothing else. You’re dismissed. Godspeed Captain.” Acton concealed concern over the whole nature of this mission.
