+ | === NCC 1717 USS Kennesaw Mountain === | ||
+ | It is Year 167 since First Contact. The Characters are a Prime Team serving aboard the USS Kennesaw Mountain NCC 1717, recently converted to a Command Cruiser. The Kennesaw Mountain has just finished its second year under the command of Captain Salvik. The Kennesaw Mountain has not had a Prime Team in the past, and due to various factors, had a poor pool of action team personnel. After one close call too many with the Bridge Crew, Star Fleet is correcting this oversight. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Characters will be members of a newly formed Prime Team that is fresh from the grueling, yearlong course at Prime Central. They will be Action Team members from various places, sent to Prime Central for their outstanding performance in the past, and formed into a Training Team. The first adventure will the their graduation exercise. The team will need to be rounded out, to make sure all bases are covered. While all characters will be good in combat, the team will need to have at least one combat specialist. To solve problems, the team will also need a science type, to do all those Spock like stunts. A doctor would no hurt either. Obviously, characters can be more than their service division. Scotty was good in a fight, after all, and Kirk knew his technical stuff. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Meanwhile, Sanjay and John go to tour the market. John notices Sanjay being followed by a Cromarg. John collected Sanjay, who had purchased an alien artifact of some sort. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the tour, Resol notices a Cromarg deftly placing a data card in T’Sara’s pocket. The team is unable to confront him, because a Sildarian escorted him away as soon as he got of the transport. The team does not get to study the card before their briefing on the summit: | ||
+ | |||
+ | • The //Kommand// will be over Trade Town at WS 1 | ||
+ | • The // | ||
+ | • Starbase 7 will be at WS 0, as attested to by the //Light Thieves// other half. | ||
+ | • The Klingons will beam down to the transporters in the Spire. | ||
+ | • The Klingon delegation will be given a chance to enter the room, and make sure it is secure. | ||
+ | • Once the all clear is given, the Klingon party will come to the meeting room, and keep their guards. | ||
+ | • Then Austin and Binghampton will be summoned. This is set up this way to give the Klingons some balance to the Home Court advantage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After the summit, John is able to identify the Cromarg from pictures Resol took. Sanjay takes the team to his workbench in Engineering, | ||
+ | They beam over to the Starbase and talk with Resol’s contact. He told the team that Lt. Duncan had fallen sick after the last briefing. As he was responsible for all security arrangements. T’Sara talks with the Doctor, who notes somehow, Lt Duncan has a Klingon version of the mumps. He is recovering but being kept sedated during the process. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Getting with Ashok who is in security, the team investigates Duncan’s quarters. They do not find anything of note that would show how he got infected, but Ashok notes Duncan went up and down, visiting the planet more than once. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ashok facilitates //Special Delivery// beaming down to Trade Town. The group studies the floor plan of the Spire and find out the top 5 floors are closed. They note the building is shielded to Resol ably hacks the Turbolift and they search the Restaurant and Meeting rooms. Noting that no one brought climbing gear, they do not check the roof. They use the secure stairs to head down to check the 15th floor where their scans find two humanoids in a room. T’Sara is able to tell they are a Dunker, and Orion. Resol sneaks up to the door and listens, and they seem asleep. | ||
+ | Resol opens the door, but unknown to him, it triggers a security alert. They burst into room and John throws the stun grenade knocking out both occupants of the room. T’Sara bound the two women, and the team searched the room. The bedroom, immediately under the summit room, had the bomb described on the data card. The Dunkar appears to have medical equipment in her bag, and both appear to have equipment similar to a Klingon Dagger team. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As the captives come around, T’sara hears someone outside the door. The men cover the door, while T’Sara guards the captives. As the door opened, all four fired, stunning three local security guards and their 1st Lt. Federation Marine leader. They drag them into the room and shut the door. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sabri starts his interrogation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | About this time, security begins to wake up. Lt. Smith recognizes //Special Delivery// and asks what is going on. Resol receives word from Ashok that the //Kommand// is inbound and the Klingon Dagger team will be beaming down in 60 minutes. Seeing the need for fast action, Sabri has Lt Smith contact Fed Land, and arrange to meet with Col. Allen, the commander of Fed Land and security. The group takes the two women into custody and beam back to Fed Land, along with much of the bomb. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sabri fills in Col. Allen who takes the two Dagger team members into cells, and sets up a call in CIC with the Kommand, Starbase 7 Commandant Admiral Bishop, Binghampton, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The two teams search the Spire top to bottom, flushing out people into Federation hands. During the search the two teams discover a hypo with traces of the virus in the room rented by Duncan. They also find that the tricorders for the //Light Thieves// were tampered with to not pick up the explosive traces left. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cleaning the building, the Dunkar is turned over to the Klingons, while the Orion is kept prisoner. Lt. Duncan quickly makes a deal with the JAG to admit the whole plot: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lt (SG) Percy Duncan was aid to Admiral Binghampton and Duncan is responsible to set up the meeting. In fact, he was a deep spy, suborned by the ESS with both money and promise of power. Working with ESS forces Dagger Team who have infiltrated Trade Town, he organized the security to have lapses, and allowed access of the ESS Dagger Team to plant a bomb. It appears Varak Graf was the Cromarg who alerted //Special Deliver//y. That Team was: | ||
+ | o Cromarg (M): Varak Graf | ||
+ | o Slirdarian (M): Kal Urso | ||
+ | o Klingon (M): Otek Kane - Leader | ||
+ | o Orion (F): Ela Jin | ||
+ | o Dunkar (F): Gossa Fren | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Quartermaster on the Kommand was tasked to sabotage the software on the Klingon tircorders. The whole goal was to create an assassination that looked to be done by the Federation. Lt. Duncan would have recovered, alive, and snuck down to the planet to escape. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Both teams provide security for the summit which does not go well, but the teams get along well. Commander Kos tells Sabri she hoped “The //Light Thieves// and //Special Delivery// will meet in battle. | ||

When the shields on the D6 Degradation are down, and its bridge already hi, Special Delivery is sent over to attack the Bridge. Beaming in, they are confronted with destruction and dead bodies. They dispatch four bridge crew, including the 2nd Officer, and blow up the remains of the bridge with Photon grenades, returning to the // | ||

+ | The battle continues, with the //FDR// and the //Georgia// taking significant damage. The team hears the reports and watches on the monitors as the Excelsior launches a wild weasel to adsorb a scatter pack from the Degradation. Then, after another exchange of photons and disruptors, the Excelsior is ready to launch more hit and run raids. //Special Delivery// beams over to the secondary hull security station. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The team beams down outside the security station, in the middle of Klingon armored soldiers. While this normally would have been very dangerous, the soldiers are all occupied fighting crewmen trying to rise up in the fight. In an exchange of gun fire, John was rattled by the pressure of the disrupter fire, but the team quickly took down the 6 guards. They were then approached by a Cromarg, Petrovah, pleading for their help in taking the ship and defecting to the Federation. Sabri calls the // | ||
