OOC: Fortunately my weekend extends into Monday with Thanksgiving … :) … and using a classic TOS show start method and usurping the Captain’s Log .. please use this as a jumping off point for gathering information and planning your actions.

Captain’s Log, Supplemental.

The Wolverine has been dispatched to a system called Myst, named after the gaseous proto clouds that surround the system and the star. The Myst system is home to seven worlds, three gas giants, two twin ice worlds, a rocky lump of a world that is more like a patchwork conglomerate of metal rich pieces, and the planet Myst. Home to currently no known intelligent species but having a unique eco-system under a layer of mist or fog that rises and lowers with the daylight, almost like a tide. Within these mists are ancient ruins that follow softer stone layers of the slopes of the mountainous landscape that is prevalent over the planet’s surface. This planet too holds a wealth of rare minerals and metals.

The Myst system is outside the Federation boundary and has had on and off claims on it set by the Federation, the Romulans and two other species - the Kien and the Wis. While it holds a wealth of minerals the dust proto clouds in the system do not react well to complex alloys and slowly break it down. Ships like the Wolverine are safe, however more permanent structures are not. Federation presence has been limited to survey vessels, archaeological and science teams. This is where we come in. A month ago the science and archaeological team that was on the planet failed to check in. A follow up ship, a small science surveyor, the Pythagoras, was dispatched and has not been heard from. The Wolverine is next to determine the fate of this ship and the first planetary team, headed by a Janine Carson, who is a cousin to my first officer, Commander Erin.

The situation is complicated by an on and off again war between the Kien and the Wis, neither having shown interest in joining the Federation. Data on each are limited and neither of their homeworlds have been visited by Federation diplomats. Both the Kien and the Wis claim the Myst system as theirs. Evidence from science teams suggests they have undertaken prospecting in the system, and, in one case a report of possible grave robbing of the alien crypts far down in the mists. Evidence also suggests that there have been land battles on Myst between the two parties, however, to date, Federation teams have been left alone.

We are approaching the Myst system now. Sensors have picked up the Pythagoras orbiting Myst, but with no life signs. We have also picked up Kien and Wis ship signatures inside the system, but farther out. It may be that they are playing cat and mouse with each other amongst the clouds, planets and planetoids dotting the outer system areas.

“Approaching Myst System now, Captain.” Commander Erin announced quietly. No sooner did he inform the CO that Bryson also spotted the Pythagoras. “Pythagoras insight, scanning the ship now.” The XO put the ship on the viewscreen as he began scanning the ship. Bryson couldn’t fathom why anyone would want to enter a known war zone, let alone with Federation allowing the science teams to do so.

“Reading zero life signs on the Pythagoras…” Bryson said aloud once the scans were complete.

Erin (XO)

Remy leaned forward in his seat, hoping the few added inches would give him a better view of the Federation ship.. Keeping his eyes focused on the Pythagoras he began barking off a serious of question.

“Does she show any damage?”

“Any signatures from the Kien an’ Wis vessels in the immediate area?”

“Are life support and engines still func-SHON-ine?”

Boudreaux (CO)

“Checking the scans for engine data now. I’m not seeing anything yet on the systems integrity that jumps out.” Mikel updated but it was more obvious conjecture as the scans were not completed yet. Call it his trained assumption.
