S02E08 "Yesterday Again"

At Anomaly RX21001, USS Sienkiewicz faces a temporal stasis field that "pauses" a planet as it begins to explode. 6 native alien cruisers have lifted off but are stuck in time. Then a second species, green-skinned alien settlers who live under a planetary fragment, in a second temporal field, contacts them. If their temporal field drops, they all die.

Cardassian Acting Capt Lt Cmdr Kodar Tamat calculates the warp mechanics needed so they could enter the stasis field safely & gives the figures to Chief Engineer Eric O'Hara to implement.

Ops Officer Aaditri Fuentes reports that they need better specs to be able to help the alien settlers. When Tamat requests their field generator specs, they become suspicious of the starship & cut off comms. Someone had tried it 200 years ago & tried to destroy them with the data. Conn Officer Lt. Leahmann Barclay thinks it was the Romulans.

With the new mods to the warp nacelles, Barclay takes the ship into the stasis field to rescue the six alien cruisers. The density of the static planetary fragments & magma splashes increases as they near the alien city. Dr. Thomas Crane takes the science station to forward nav scan data to Barclay.

Bajoran Security Chief Lt. JG Ton Nalas reports that there is a 200 yo Romulan Bird-of-Prey 1200km away, about to fire its torpedoes at the alien settlers! Thankfully, Fuentes detects that it is stuck in the stasis field. Tamat orders Ton to come up with a solution to this new complication.

With Crane's help, Barclay is able to navigate the densest of debris without triggering a field collapse. The nearest alien cruiser is 150km away. O'Hara warns that if they approach wrong, the stasis field will collapse. The planet will explode in real time. The Sienkiewicz & both alien species will be destroyed.

Barclay steels himself & moves toward the nearest cruiser.

With Martín (Tamat), Eddie (Barclay), Eric (Dr. Crane).

S01E11 "Lo'ak and Payakan on Pandora"

Players: Capt Greg Ellison (Dan), Cmdr. Morpheus Drake (Ivan L), Dr. Patrick Troughton (Doug), Lt Galinha (Ivan T)

Stardate: 58564.7 July 26 2381.

Lt. Galinha a Tamarian & Dr. Troughton are transferred to the Östergötland.

Capt Ellison orders a planetary scan. Lt. J.G. Tlilissak says Trychnos ocean is toxic for cetaceans. Then, Drake descends & launches a probe into the sea.

Also, Galinha oversees a Ensign Aulassik's cetacean away team to reconnoitre the ocean floor. Dr. Troughton at the Science Station to scan a fragment of a starship buried under 5 m of coral.

While submerging, Drake looks out for the whales & detects one swimming at high speed towards them. He parks the ship above the coral, but at first try Galinha cannot lift the fragment into the moon pool.

Drake descends lower & Troughton scans the corals & sends the data to Galinha, allowing the Tamarian to rip the fragment from the corals. The cetacean Away Team is beamed aboard. Drake bursts out of the sea & into the sky to evade the oncoming whale.

Bajoran Engineer Lt. Latha Reon & Galinha study the fragment, but a tricorder scan made it lose molecular integrity. Galinha transports it into the buffer to keep it in stasis. Scans show that it is a 200yo tritanium-duranium alloy panel with disruptor damage.

Troughton completes a translation matrix for the universal translator. Galinha offers an expression, “Lo'ak and Payakan on Pandora.”

With Linguist Ens T'miu's help, they are able to allow Ellison to speak to the nearest whale, named Oouiix, who point them to the elderly Paauuk who lives 7 km deep who is older than 200 years.

After some time talking to the whales, the Östergötland dives deeper than ever into the trench where Paauuk lives. In the dark, they are attacked by an enormous kraken-like creature.

S02E06 "The Same Tomorrow"

Stardate: 58248.6. (2 April 2381, 1200hrs)

The USS Sienkiewicz has broken off from the Romulan relief mission fleet & is assigned to investigate an anomaly within Romulan space with Cmdr Tamat as acting captain. Romulans have avoided it for over 2 centuries. Anomaly RX21001 is empty space .3 ly in diameter that emits graviational waves. They decide that Tamat’s astrophysicist mom should officially name RX21001.

Dropping out of warp, Tamat finds nothing at the spot. Lt. Cmdr. Leahmann Barclay presses on at full impulse. Lt. Aaditri Fuentes at Ops continues scanning. Dr. Thomas Crane is on the seat beside Tamat & Bajoran Lt. Ton Nalas is at Tactical.

Suddenly they enter a dark region of space without stars. An asteroid appears before them. Barclay tries but fails to evade. The shield takes the hit, but the impulse drives are shot. Dr. Crane fixes up those injured: Ton, Barclay & then Tamat.

They are coasting toward another debris cluster, but Barclay is able to brake using the manoeuvring thrusters & subspace bubble. Tamat orders Chief Engineer Lt. Eric O'Hara to fix the impulse engines ASAP.

The source of the rocks: An exploding planet time-stopped in space. Tamat orders a probe out. It detects ships trying to leave the dying planet. Then, the probe too gets stuck in time.

Using Fuentes' scans, Tamat is able to calculate how to use a subspace bubble to enter the time-stop region without being trapped using the warp nacelles. Lt O'Hara works on it.

Suddenly Fuentes receives a transmission. Ton decodes it. It's an unknown alien that is squatting on the planet in the time-stop region for the last century! It tells them to leave, because if the time-stop field drops, they all would die.

S01E10 "The Xs Mark All The Spots"

Players: Capt Greg Ellison (Dan), Cmdr. Morpheus Drake (Ivan), Lt Cmdr Tosk the Studious (Ivan)

Stardate: 58564.7 July 26 2381.

Upon the arrival of 5 modified Orion whalers, USS Östergötland moves to the far side of the ocean world Trychnos, out of sensor reach.

Capt Ellison orders Cmdr Drake to launch a probe to monitor the Orions. Meanwhile, Lt Cmdr Tosk & Chief Isaac Brosch study further the cryo cylinder filled with 6 sleeping Tosks. Tosk successfully removes its cloaking device and they rush to the shield control room.

The probe shows 2 Orion ships at low orbit while the other 3 dives into atmo, heading for a pod of Trychnos whales. Ellison calls Lt. Piotrowski at nearby Starbase Gondolin. She dispatches a patrol fleet to Trychnos as it is in Federation space & the Orions were there illegally. 

Tosk & Brosch try to install the cloaking device. There is concern of explosion with untested alien device. Ultimately, it is installed but not activated. 

Drake warns that the Orion trio are now killing whales. Their ship dive toward the ocean. Tosk reminds them that submerged travel would take longer so they do an aerial head-on attack.

The orbital ships spot them & dive in to intercept. Ellison hails & persuades them to stand down & leave, casting vids of their last battle. He feels the Orion captain's distress. The Orion boldly declares they will not yield. Östergötland's quantum torpedos destroy the lead Orion ship.

Ellison gave another ultimatum & the four warp away in panic.

Using the energy signature scanned by Tosk, they scan & detect 120 cryo cylinders in orbit around the planet. The starships Vikrant, Funafuti & Chenem-Waset arrive from Gondolin, detecting 235 cylinders altogether.

The Chenem-Waset stays back to support Östergötland at Trychnos while Tosk returns with the Vikrant to Gondolin to help oversee the revival of the Tosks.

S01E09 "Orbital Manoeuvres in the Dark"

Players: Capt Greg Ellison (Dan), Cmdr. Morpheus Drake (Ivan), Lt Cmdr Tosk the Studious (Ivan)

Stardate: 58563.9 July 26 2381.

With Cmdr Drake & Dr. Chau back aboard, USS Östergötland returns to Trychnos to investigate the unknown object collision of the SS Takoyaki.

Drake organises a memorial for Lt. Velek & Sp. Loomis, killed by the Orion whalers. Later, Capt Ellison receives a message from Adm Janeway who will look into the Romulan Qaenlahr.

With new Cetacean Ops modifications and sub shuttlecrafts, Drake is field-promoted to acting XO. Kithrup is promoted to Alpha shift Conn officer. With Lt Cmdr Piotrowski's permission they depart Starbase Gondolin around Cor Caroli III.

Upon arrival off Trychnos, Drake thinks there are more than one cloaked object. Using data from the captured Orion ship, Tosk is able to plot exact object collision locations with the Orions months earlier. The nearest collision occurred in orbit at the south polar region.

En route, Östergötland experiences a violent collision. Ellison falls & is knocked out. Drake becomes acting Captain & calls for a med team. Tosk scans & detects an invisible meteor falling into the Trychnos atmosphere. They chase after it. With Tosk's sensor scans as aid, Drake grabs it with a tractor beam from the captain's chair controls. 

The tractor's graviton beam, interacting with the object's structure, allows them to scan it: a tritanium-like cylinder 20 m length. LSO Isaac Brosch pulls it into shuttle bay 2. Drake & Tosk rush there. Tosk, familiar with the tech, disables the cloaking module turning it visible. Inside are five dormant Tosks in cyrogenic suspension! The cloak is NOT Romulan in origin, but a Gamma Quadrant design.

But before they could do anything, five Orion whaling ships drop out of warp. Going to Red Alert, Drake orders the ship to hide at the far side of Trychnos & suggests they install the Tosk sleeping cylinder's cloak.
