Aldea Prime Anthology

After the Battle of the Apertures, where the USS Theurgy stopped the Borg Invasion and the plans of the Infested, High Chancellor Martok arranged for safe port with the Aldeans. With the Theurgy in drydock for repairs in the Aldea Prime Shipyards, the weary crew was able to breathe at last, no longer persecuted, and with the Klingon Empire as their new ally. It was a time for healing, and to find strength, while Thea was restored for the continuation of the mission. After having decrypted the real Simulcast, the Head of Covert Operations in Starfleet Intelligence offered aid in a recorded message delivered to Captain Ives. The message from Admiral Andersson was played for the Senior Staff. Instead of recording a reply to Rear Admiral Andersson, Captain Ives decided to speak with the man directly through the subspace buoy, and the Allegiant was launched. The Allegiant was fitted with an Aldean visibility cloak and transponder to avoid detection, and successful contact was made with Admiral Anderson, which was the beginning of cooperation between the Theurgy and the Admiral, which would yield both intel and new officers travelling to Aldea to replenish the ranks of the Theurgy. In Captain Ives' absence from the Theurgy, Nicander was interrogated by Commander Ducote and other officers in Medical and Science. Nicander was convinced to discern whether or not there were other Infested aboard or in the vicinity of the Epsilon Mynos System, and the means through which to screen for the parasites is found through an anyonic phase variance. Both the transporter systems as well as the airlocks of the Theurgy are fitted with anyonic emitters to keep the Infested from stepping aboard the ship. Attempts began to utilise Heather McMillan´s diminished abilities as a Radiant, amplifying her transphasic light by scientific means, since the luminescence served to sever the connection between the host body and that of the parasite. The parasite remains, but the host retains control of their body. The effort is sucessful, and a transphasic light cannon is mounted outside of Nicander's holding cell, so that if the Doctor aids the mission by using his Farsight ability, and his mind is overtaken by the parasite anew, the cannon can be used again to again sever the connection between the Nameless Darkness and the host. On the tenth day of the repairs, the first recruits arrived to Aldea at the prompt of Admiral Andersson, stepping aboard the Theurgy to serve Captain Ives and the mission. The next day, Carrigan Trent is murdered, and the perpetrator, Lt JG Brett Hansen, is arrested. The man lost his pregnant wife aboard the Dauntless after Trent gave the order to fire upon the ship in the Azure Nebula, almost two weeks prior. An away team encountered the Savi in the Beyond, where the unexpectedly alive Echtand qi Versant seeks equally unexpectedly to cooperate with the Theurgy on its mission to end the threat of the Infested. To begin with, their reasons are not entirely clear. First Appointee Radue of the Aldean Defence Committee, leader of the Aldeans, have invited the Theurgy crew to a closed off, seaside dress party down on Aldea, in the outskirts of Aldea Prime city. The futuristic and luxurious palace is guarded by Klingons to keep out any unwanted guests that doesn't have the security clearance to know the true identities of the Theurgy crew, meaning that those attending from the Theurgy will be able to be themselves and also wear the Starfleet dress uniform. The occasion celebrated is how the Aldeans managed to isolate the bug in the Gestalt Program with the help of the Theurgy crew. High Chancellor Martok arrives at Aldea on the IKS Vor'nak and the IKS ChunDab, having travelled all the way from the Azure Nebula, or what was left of it.
