Hi folks . thought I’d do a refresh on all we’ve been up to and found for us to be on the same page :)

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.

That was the sim intro. Since arriving there has been some notable finds. The communication array on the Pythagoras was damaged. There was no crew on board, however analysis showed that a Wis ship had at least approached the Pythagoras. The Wolverine launched a probe to keep an eye on their erstwhile alien neighbors in the system. One of the escape pods had jettisoned and disappeared on the planet below. Scans showed the location of a campsite. After launching a shuttle they were able to piece together scattered information to show where the pod had entered the mists but, having gone deep, was lost to scans. Two life signs were picked up near the campsite. They are now determining where to land.

Additionally, a team was sent to the Pythagoras to find out what they could find. The XO and CE busied themselves with obtaining sensor and command logs, initially complicated by the Pythagoras’ communications array transmitting shredded data, though a data disc solved that issue. Alita, the COS, investigated a life source in the living quarters. The lounge had the appearance of some disturbance. In the quarters of Tammy Wilder, Alita found a very hungry sehlat in a crate – the source of the life sign, but inside the crate a data rod emitting much more power than would be otherwise normal for one.
