I’ve read back a couple months but I’m still lost as to what’s going on. Is there a previous sim summary post I missed or could I get one from our lovely Roachie GM?

I second that!

Right I’ll recap then

It is the dawning of 2153 (So we’re roughly back to season 1-2 of Enterprise, so no Xindi events yet!) in game year, the SS Bonaventure was out on a routine patrol and survey beyond explored space, even for Vulcans the area of space entered was mostly uncharted much less any claims. The ship picked up a series of strange gravitic/gravity anomalies inside a three planet system. Coming out of warp the gravity/gravitic anomalies expanded greatly to the point of several light years which effectively while they continue has stranded the ship to sublight speeds within the system due to being unable to get a stable warp field. These same strange anomalies are interfering with long range comms so calling for help is impossible, in short you’re on your own! As this all sunk in of all things to happen a FORTH planet opposite in orbit to the third planet came into being out of no where. It seemed to be the source of the gravity/gravitic anomalies and was currently in the midsts of a nuclear exchange/war with two factions on the planet.

However, quickly things became odd on scans, the Bonnie found the technology of the planet a strange mix of old (20th century 1940s-1960s Earth era aesthetics on the buildings and other things present including clothes, and some weapons/vehicles. Yet also the more advanced! Hover cars, advanced jet fighters, low orbit warring satellites and drones as well as plasma/laser based weapons near to what Earth Starfleet uses currently or previously in the cargo service. After a brief run in with some nuclear/plasma waste which caused some minor problems and damage for the Bonnie the crew (aka ALL player characters!) split into two teams to investigate possible leads to the anomaly sources and investigate the strange planet in general. From what can be told the two warring factions are called for the northern faction as the EngMedSci or EMS Directorate, they seem less militaristic but a little more advanced on defensive and cultural technologies. The southern forces are called MacArm or the MA Military District. They seem more militaristic and more advanced in offensive weapons and the like. It is possible that briefly the EMS picked up the Bonnie on primitive scans but this has yet to be confirmed and both forces even if they had seem more concerned with blowing each other to kingdom come then worry about ‘aliens’ right now.

The first team lead by the CO is checking out a city on the northern continent called Lexing’ton where they have found a duality of language, one in the local dialect and another in Terran English! This first team didn’t get far into Lexing’ton before they encountered a fleeing pair of women, one older the other younger, who were scavenging supplies from the city before they were attacked by MacArm forces it seemed who gunned them down in cold blood. The older of which later died, though the team currently saved the younger woman. After a brief phaser pistol vs ballistic firearm fight the first team was able to for now bluff their way off a MacArm radio signal to the downed squad. They’re currently planning to move out leaving the squad behind and tied up.

The second team lead by the XO is checking out a seemingly abandoned engineering/scientific oriented base/silo where they are picking up strange unknown energy emissions deep below the surface. During their observation of the seemingly abandoned base three advanced Jet fighters, two a MacArm the other a sole EMS fighter engaged in combat, the EMS was quickly shot down and the team rescued the pilot currently he is unaware of their origins or the Andorian they got with them in the party. They are currently entering the abandoned base. They have picked up a strange repeating broadcast on the high end band matching Earth Starfleet comm signals about a ‘friendly force’ lead by an unknown person named Lt Marshall. The message though is automated and is looping.

Hope this helps! Any questions please ask.
