Doctor MacKenzie and the crew of the Valkyrie determined that the best way to cure the plague was not going to be eradicating the offending virus, but simply shutting it off. A Te'hari childhood disease was chosen to carry the trigger, and before long the plague was being reversed all over.
Emile Schofield and X'ok PaRel had achieved a similar level of success, and in much the same way. Where the Valkyrie was curing a disease with a disease, they found their target by hiding from it. Their activities finally attracted the attention of the people they were sent to find. When they were brought before the ringleader, they told him everything. Then, they turned what should have been their execution into the destruction of the lab, and the ship it was on.
During this, Schofield and Lance Foster, another former Starfleet Officer, became infected with the virus. And so, they took a chance that the Valkyrie had discovered a cure and returned there.
In other news, Lt. T'Cal and Ensign Masters were rescued from the planet. T'Cal tragically died when a replicator gave her poisonous cheese. Masters brought back a Te'hari child, Makrid Jolin, whose family had succumbed to the disease. Both are recovering, and Masters was ordered to return to duty. Jolin's fate is yet to be decided, once he has recovered sufficiently. Lt. Fletcher, the new CSO, was not so lucky. He became seperated from the rest of the away team, became infected, and died.
Kevin Novia, the son of the ship's new counsellor, got into trouble almost as soon as he arrived by following the Lando triplets and Carlos Byrne on an adventure to Engineering and getting caught. Ensign Bailey got into trouble for his choice of punishments, and revealed to the Captain that he is actually Emile Schofield's nephew, Aloysis. Expatriate Klingon T'Karg decided to turn over a new leaf.
