Location of the (crew of the) USS Atlantis:
- (Holding position near) derelict ship, Gamma Quadrant.
Summary:
2391.05.28:
Struggling their way through the derelict ship, plagued by frightening hallucinations and illusions, the three away teams were finding it increasingly difficult to stay sane and do what they came on the ship to do. The first away team, lead by Commander Velden, was forced to use violence against members of their own team -- security officers who previously died on the ship and who have apparently been turned into living dead... Zombies if you will. Not only that, but these zombies turned out to be hostile.
The second and third team had not yet encountered the zombies, but they did encounter various hallucinations. Team three, having arrived at what seemed to be the Bridge of this derelict vessel, managed to get a communications console to work, and they received a message from Captain Torn, saying that the Atlantis was abandoning them. What they didn't know was that the Captain never sent such a message. It was almost like the alien ship had a mind of its own...
Meanwhile, the Atlantis launched two shuttles: one unoccupied and remotely controlled by the other shuttle, which was manned by the EEH and Bart the Bartender, the two holograms whose programs had been back-upped before they left, just in case something went wrong. During their flight, the shuttle lost contact with the remote shuttle and was hit by ionic discharges from the ion cloud. The shuttle was severely damaged and the holo-emitters could no longer sustain the programs of Bart and the EEH. The interference and the ionic discharges caused the two holographic matrices to merge by accident, and soon a new hologram was formed out of the other two: not Bart, not the EEH, but a combination of both of them. This new hologram, essentially a glitch, managed to pilot the shuttle back to the Atlantis. It is as of yet unclear what will happen to this new hologram... It is up to Captain Torn to decide if this hologram is allowed to stay... or if it should be deleted.
