Interregnum 04-05 (Season 1)

After the Battle of Starbase 84, the Theurgy escaped into the Azure Nebula. The mission to send the Simulcast was a complete failure. The Devoted of Morali grew more aggressive, and Ives' authority could be in question by both hir original crew, as well as the crew from the USS Resolve. Forsaken as they were, would the crews aboard the Theurgy unite or scatter, and would the Asurians - who suffered grievous losses at Starbase 84 - vow vengeance upon them all? On the first day - the same day as the battle - Captain Ives gathered all the new personnel aboard to brief them about the true threat to the Federation, perhaps even the Galaxy as a whole. With a new crew aboard, the chain-of-command had to be sorted out, and through the late evening and morning the day after, interviews were made and reports were sorted out so that the high-ranking officers from the Resolve could get important positions aboard the Theurgy. The integration of the Resolve crew was not without friction, but in the end, the command structure aboard was preserved. On the second day, it became evident that the Devoted would not give up on their faith. They tried to usurp command of the ship and hand it to Sarresh Morali, even though he denounced them. In the coup attempt, several officers died, not counting the ones that the Devoted attacked individually the night before and through the second and third day the Theurgy conducted repairs in the Azure Nebula. As of the situation aboard was not tense enough, a viral outbreak that sprung from the Resolve forced Main Sickbay to issue a quarantine protocol. The Virus was known as Virus 117, and while no one died directly from the outbreak, some members of the crew were incapacitated for a long time. On the third day spent in the Azure Nebula, a strange puzzle box found on Starbase 84 activated the Omega Directive, forcing Captain Ives to contain the knowledge of the molecule aboard hir ship, and to take measures to have it destroyed. Only Vivian Martin and Hi'Jak of the Science department were aware of the directive, but the latter had to leave on an away-mission to a derelict Klingon outpost named SuD Lang. It was a site inside a coreless moon that Sera vers Aldnoah claimed had the dilithium crystals the crew needed to repair the Theurgy's warp drive. Led by ThanIda zh'Wann, the away-team was not just sent to collect the crystals, but to send a personal message from Captain Jien Ives to High Chancellor Martok - a message made in hope to set the record straight and to gain aid from the Klingon Empire in undermining the conspiracies of Starfleet Command. Scientist Hi'Jak, however, betrayed Ives and the crew in the belief that he knew better - being an agent of the Imperial Intelligence agency. Instead of Martok, the message ended up in his son's hands, along with orders to destroy SuD Lang. In the battle that ensued, along with the loss of one Lone-Wolf pilot, ThanIda zh'Wann was killed in action. That was not all, however. For beneath SuD Lang, Heather McMillan found an ancient city of her ancestors named Tyn'Akir, and in its archive, she could have found the key to thwart the parasites. The question was if they would make it back safely to the Theurgy with both the archive and the dilithium crystals, since their shuttle had been damaged in the battle with the Klingons. Also, would the Imperial Intelligence officer betray them again, or would he be killed by the rest of the away-team because of what he'd done?
