USS Spartan: A Forest Apart

The USS Spartan is assigned to investigate an interstellar geodesic dome that was detected drifting out of the Briar Patch

Mission Description

The USS Spartan is assigned to investigate an interstellar geodesic dome that was detected drifting out of the Briar Patch by Starbase 88. Spartan’s away team boards the centuries-old domed starship, finding no humanoid crew. Instead, they discover a vast and ancient forest interlocked in a vicious circle with an insectoid civilization. The insects can only survive by consuming the sap of the trees, and their consumption has driven the forest to near-extinction. Before the Spartan crew can negotiate a solution, the geodesic dome’s distance from the Briar Patch has allowed its automated systems to calibrate, and the dome sets course for landing on a nearby planet, home to a pre-warp civilization under the protection of the Federation.

Hey’xet drifted out of Science Lab 1, where the slow stream of data from their probe array trickled up the ship’s tractor beam even without scrutinizing eyes to urge it along. Simmons had left to report to the captain, which left coordinating with the other vital party in Hey’xet’s [...]

My voice gets underneath your skin

Expeditionary Group: USS Spartan: A Forest Apart

Brow furrowed, head down, Kellin padded into the captain’s ready room just far enough to escape the reach of the doors’ sensors.  He waited long enough for the doors to close behind him until he accepted the protection of sanctuary from the rest of the crew. He blinked a couple of [...]

Someone Pulled the Shades

Expeditionary Group: USS Spartan: A Forest Apart

Simmons tapped the end of his stylus against the console’s surface absentmindedly whilst he waited for the most recent wave of data to compile from Spartan‘s overworked sensor palettes. On a wall screen across the small lab, a 2D rendering of the mystery warp-capable arboretum rolled in [...]
