Cromwell has returned! We have destroyed the Borg Hand by dropping it into a star. It came at a severe cost of injuries among the crew. Dr Krieg with Space exposure is only now getting out of sickbay. Jinx has managed to reintegrate his conscious with his body with Dr Shran's assistance. Ensign Who, resident android, has not been brought back online, although we continue to hold out hope.
As part of rehabilitation (or perhaps just torture) the first officer required the captain to do crew evaluations on all of the crew. A couple are still open, but surprising revelations occurred in more than a few of them.
Finally, a real science and Star Trek mission! DFA Command has sent Cromwell on a rescue mission for a missing scientist. The Captain's log entry summarizes some of the challenges ahead.
Captain's Log, Stardate 2414.12 Cromwell had slowed to Warp 3 and is on approach to the Azara system. DFA Command has sent us to find a missing anthropologist, a scientist studying the Azarans, who are a rodent like people who have reached the industrial age.
The senior crew has met, and will have to embark on an away mission. The location Dr Graham had chosen to study, while it made for interesting research into Azaran society and theology of these people, is in an area of the planet called the Ashlands; The hills are a sensor void. The only comparison I can draw to it are the hills of Denu II where all technology breaks down. I am hoping for a lesser problem, perhaps one we can overcome. Because we will be in close contact with the Azarans, we will have protheseis made to appear as they look. The away team will have to beam into the outskirts of the sprawling city, a place called the Boneyard, and make our way into the city to begin the search.
It is concerning Dr. Graham is missing. He has devoted his life to this planet and studying the people. His senior graduate student confirms he is careful, meticulous, and not prone to impassioned emotion or deviation from acceptable scientific principals. He is well respected in the anthropology circles. In essence, a typical Trill scientist.
