The Story Thus Far ..

While out on a shakedown cruise the Apollo received a distress call from Jason Stone, 2nd Officer aboard the Alexandria, an old Class V Ore Carrier. They reported a fire on board and several injuries, and that the Captain and 1st Officer were missing. Sensors showed the Alexandria to be close by - indeed they were entangled inside the guide wires of the Kingston Array, a large multi-layered geodesic dome style communications and data buoy cluster. Hull integrity was low and thermal scans showed that a fire was raging inside the ship. Due to transporter lock issues a rescue shuttle was ordered, commanded by the XO.

Meanwhile, on board the Apollo, two crewmen recover from injuries sustained in an accident within a Jeffries Tube Junction on Deck 6. Power is still out to the holodecks and Arboretum. Noted plasma conduits have been rerouted, leaving the area open for investigation. The cause of this accident is still unknown.
