Posted by Gamemaster Mischief Maker (Gamemaster) in OOC: TL;DR Sim Summary
As you may have noticed, our sim is getting close to wrapping up. How much of the mystery we solve depends on how/when we want to end this.

For everyone, especially our newest crew, here’s a ‘quick’ recap of the sim (especially if you haven’t had a chance to read the longer one I linked on the MOTD):

Basically, the crew was investigating reports of missing ships/gutted ships (some civilian freighters, some Starfleet), their crews either dead or missing. The investigation led the Athena to a big asteroid with some sort of base/installation within it., with a rather hostile leader who doesn’t want much to cooperate with their investigation but is forced to.

An away team went down to investigate (with a testy and unhelpful second-in-command giving the tour). They had found evidence of a shuttle there that was traced to a missing one from Outpost 42 (a now decommissioned RP place, but still used IC).

Meanwhile, the CIO was doing her things and digging into classified records and discovered that one of the missing crew members was actually an undercover Intel agent. She and Dawson set out to see if they could find him on the facility (the Black Ops thread).

But during the away team’s tour, there was an explosion and all of the away team made it out of the space before a hole in the deck collapsed, except for Ducante. The XO was gravely injured. The rest were okay.

The CTO and an Intelligence NE go down to rescue Ducante, timed expactly at the same time as the Black Ops team, so to give the other team some cover. They do their best to distract the locals from whatever Calloway/Dawson might be doing.

Ducante came across a prisoner after his fall, who had also been caught in the blast (his cell was a deck below the blast zone).

Eventually, both away teams (Ducante’s rescue team, and the Black ops Team) found their quarries. Ducante and the Orion were beamed to Sickbay. The Black Ops team retrieved the shuttle the original Away Team was forced to leave behind and are about to arrive back on the Athena.

Through all of this, they have gotten the gist that there is some sort of trafficking of persons going on, but they don’t know who or why.

And that is where we’re at. There are key people with info. Azriah (the person giving the away team the tour) was beamed back to the ship with the away team and is in the brig for questioning. She knows something. As do the Orion prisoner and the Intel agent that was rescued.

On the bridge, they have been trying to trace the devices used to create the explosion.

Great summary Linds! It’s very much appreciated!

Let’s all work to get our various ends of the sim moving, for those involved in the main sim. I have a feeling we will be crossing this finish line soon. Once we do, be on the look out for a possible crew R&R and possible side sim before we look into stepping into a new sim. I’m already working with Linds and Sam in the background to ensure we have a good fit. More info soon on that front.

Keep up the great work folks! Any questions, please feel free to ask.
