MARCHLANDS – Red alert sounds as imposters attempt to take over the USS Constitution
The crew of the USS Constitution-B NCC 3012-B found themselves in way more trouble than they were bargaining for at Hermes outpost, in the south end of Federation Territory near the Tholian border. While the officers of the Galaxy class ship still worked hard on getting the outpost fixed, another group of officers – mostly security and counselling, – worked all over the ship to calm down officers and civilians alike who were distressed by the news from the Sol System, which reached the Constitution with a substantial delay.
While the rest of the crew dealt with the tense situation, Senior Cmdr. Nugra dealt with what he believed to be his best friend and Commanding Officer of the Constitution, Cmdre. Rajel, after being informed that she ‘acted strange’. He quickly found out that these concerns were founded in Rajel not being Rajel. While the identity of the impersonator was not revealed, the fact that she trapped Nugra in an airlock and activated it to shoot him into space was enough proof. After the imposter left the scene of the event, Nugra was able to utilize help and was saved by the Ollos in Engineering.
Meanwhile Lt. JG Lystra and Counselor Ensign Ba’el were joined by Assistant Chief Medical Officer Eleanore Park to attempt to figure out if a pathogen was added to the ship’s air to make people more aggressive than they usually are. These plans were interrupted when they learned from Nugra over Comms that Jalana was an imposter. While they put together a plan on what to do, Park flipped the script and Ba’el and Lystra found themselves on the other side of a phaser. They found proof that Park was in fact a changeling as she avoided being grabbed by partially turning into goo. Both sides are attempting to prove that they are who they say they are to Ens. Terpes, a Medical/Counselling officer who stumbled across the scene after “Park” returned to solid form.
It appears that on the bridge a whole other plan of attack went off, as LtCmdr. Herren sounded a red alert across the ship, stating that the First Officer LtCmdr. Diz’mim Ch’Nilmani and Chief of Tactical LtCmdr. Atan T’Seva were not who they seemed and that they had killed Bridge personnel in an attempt to take over the ship and were now on the run. Security officer Lt. JG Daniel Cain, Ens. Jiroo Zaka and Ens. Rachel Flores are currently one of the teams on the lookout for the assumed mutineers.
On Hermes station repairs continue, though Lt. Mingxing Shimisi became suspicious after a call he had made to the Constitution bridge, which was taken by Herren, who appeared to be in the middle of a firefight and told him to inform Chief Engineer Lida and Hermes Outpost Commanding Officer Va Remy of what was happening. He went to report to both attempting to secretly scan them to see if his suspicions are correct.
Security team LtCmdr. Akeelah D’Sena, Cadet Dinaes and Lt. Gorak concluded that no hostile forces had beamed to Hermes outpost, but they found a foreign looking crystal reminiscent of Tholian technology, presumably data storage. The team dislodged the item from its location and returned to the Constitution to analyze it.
Are there more imposters on the Constitution? Will they succeed in their plan of take over – if that is what they want? Will the Conny crew be able to regain control? And are there more imposters among them nobody suspects yet?
