The away team descends into the mines to find the device and deactivate it before it attracts any more attention.Īs a gamemaster, I can only base the quality of a campaign off of the reaction of my players. The obelisk is emitting the signal that was detected and tracked by Starfleet. Assuming the crew on the planet resolves the situation with the settlers, they learn about a recently discovered chamber buried deep underground where the settlers found an ancient stone and metal obelisk. The settlers are not pleased to see Starfleet officers and initially react aggressively.īack in space, with any luck, the Players’ ship outwits the Romulans and rescues the crew of the Susquehanna and returns to Seku VI to aid the planet-bound crew. The settlers in the colony are composed of outcasts: Maquis who fled the Demilitarized Zone, a group of Romulan dissidents, as well as other misfits. On Seku VI, the away team arrives at the source of the signal to discover a colony of Humans and Romulans at the location. The nebula renders their cloaking device ineffective, but neither ship’s sensors work well in the nebula, so it becomes a game of “cat and mouse” as the two ships search the nebula for the missing runabout. A Romulan warbird, lurking in the system, also picked up the distress signal. Unfortunately, they’re not the only ones looking for the missing runabout. Meanwhile, the ship enters the nebula to search for the Susquehanna. To do so, they must overcome the natural dangers on the planet while dealing with a group of Romulans who are also searching for the signal.

While the ship enters the nebula to find the Susquehanna, the away team tries to determine what happened to the Starfleet officers on the planet and searches for the source of the mysterious alien signal. Soon after the away team heads down to the planet, the ship receives a faint distress signal from the Susquehanna from somewhere in the nebula. There is no response to any attempts at communication, so a team beams down to investigate. Upon arrival at the Seku system, there is no sign of the missing runabout, but the crew picks up the alien signal emanating from Seku VI, as well as signals from active Starfleet comm badges. Starfleet has asked the Player’s ship to investigate the source of the signal and locate the missing runabout. The runabout Susquehanna was initially dispatched to investigate, but the crew failed to report and is presumed lost. My players were literally on the edge of their ergonomically-appropriate seats the whole time.Ī month ago, Starfleet picked up an unusual alien signal emanating from the Seku system, deep inside the Carina Nebula within the Shackleton Expanse.
