May for Starbase 118 Ops

With all of the stress of the previous missions behind them, the crew of Starbase 118 was able to relax into their normal duties.  That lasted for almost an hour, when the corps of reporters fell onto the station like a swarm of locusts.  The official statements were not enough for several of the reporters, who began searching areas they weren’t cleared for to find “the truth”.  A tooth from one of the dragon-like creatures the crew had encountered a day previously was discovered by Delia Ailed, a reporter who leveraged that to get more information from the Second officer and Chief engineer.  Captan Nicholotti, working to keep the rumors from getting too out of hand, is scheduling a meeting with the reporters.  Unfortunately, one story about the fang has already gotten out.
At the same time, a freighter “Astrolabe” has docked and requested emergency repairs.  They are carrying medicines that need to be delivered before they expire.  Unfortunately, the ship itself was held together by luck and baling wire.. and the baling wire just snapped.  There has been an explosion on the freighter, something that has raised the interest of engineering, tactical, and security.  Also the wandering eye of another reporter.  Now the crew scrambles to find the issue, get the medicine out in time, all while providing the right information to the reporters who are already underfoot.  Perhaps it is a normal Starbase day after all.
