USS Calhoun/Delta One Status Report by Adrian Rodd
The rescue mission was a successful, albeit costly one. Lieutenant Summers had been infested with a non-corporeal, malevolent "presence", which slowly attempted to take over her mind, igniting and fuelling her most violent personality traits.
Commander Logix also fell victim to an unknown attacker, a computer console having been reprogrammed to emit a shock pulse which caused severe damage to the android.
As Lieutenant-Commander Harris sought to save the First Officer, Summers assaulted Counsellor Yarel, the presence having finally overcome her. Regaining a small measure of control, Summers fled Delta One, heading for the swarm of alien ships holding position nearby. With their help, she was rid of the "presence". . . but died in the process.
She was revived, brought back to life and healed, as were Yarel and Logix. With Captain Su likewise healed, the crew were now all up on their feet and active. . .
Merely days later, on stardate 2390.11.27, a strange rift in space was detected very close to Delta One. Tachyon and chronotron particles were identified, leading the crew to assume it was some kind of (motionless) temporal displacement rift. A tense moment occurred when a ship drifted out. . . followed by astonishment as the vessel was identified: the USS Gagarin, a Soyuz-class Federation starship from the 2240s!
The ship was fully powered and seemingly undamaged, but sensors determined those onboard were unconscious. The senior officers of Delta One, having transported the wounded to Sickbay, gathered quickly to decide on a course of action. . .
