=Mission Summary=
Placed back in command of the Chin’toka, Captain Gagarin was tasked to lead an engineering flotilla through a transwarp gate connecting Starbases Delta and Alpha in order to meet the Krynar offensive fleet and join the assault on the Krynar. Due to a miscalculation, however, the Chin’toka and the engineering ships wound up in the Magellanic Cloud, 100 lightyears away from Starbase Alpha.
Stranded, the crew coordinated with the engineering teams to construct a new gate. Amidst discussions of the best way to ensure a safe trip home, a distress call from a planet named Sheva was received on long range sensors. Commander Codey took a runabout and led an away team to investigate, and Captain Gagarin began researching the USS Copernicus, which had previously found itself in the Magellanic Cloud. Shortly thereafter, while members of the Chin’toka were coordinating with the engineering crews, long range sensors indicated an asteroid headed directly for the gate.
As the runabout neared Sheva, a Klingon woman named Kasia responded to their hails, and it became clear that an epidemic was sweeping the planet. The USS Calder, and Lieutenant Rubi were dispatched to assist. Landing on the surface, the away team split up to treat the disease and research its history and treatment. The away team quickly surmised that the inhabitants of Sheva were suffering from a Klingon disease named Rop’ngor, which was very similar to human measles. The disease had originated from Kasia, whom, intelligence later discovered, was a clone of the Copernicus’ [[Ariana Lacey]]. With the disease identified, the cure was easy to synthesize using Klingon blood, obtained from both Kasia and the Chin’toka’s Lieutenant [[Torkav]].
Back at the Chin’toka, Lieutenants Simmons and Erigneis coordinated between the Chin’toka and the Miami to move the transwarp gate out of the asteroid’s path. Scans, however, indicated that the asteroid changed direction, and once again headed directly for the construction site of the gate. Lieutenant Simmons then took an away team to investigate the asteroid and keep it from colliding with the transwarp gate. Scans of the asteroid proved inconclusive, and when the away team tried to divert the asteroid, it vanished, seeming to be nothing more than a hologram hiding an alien vessel, which now fired upon the shuttlecraft housing the away team. The away team fled into a nearby nebula, seeking cover, while the Chin’toka moved to intercept the pursuing ship.
After attempts to communicate with the alien vessel failed, an analysis of what were originally presumed to be sensor ‘pings’ allowed the Chin’toka to translate the alien language. Communications between the Chin’toka and the alien vessel revealed that the aliens believed themselves attacked, and that they would not repayment. Seeing little other options, Captain Gagarin and the Chin’toka provided cover fire for the shuttle as it left the nebula and boarded the Chin’toka.
With the away team safely aboard, the Chin’toka traveled back to the transwarp gate, which was now complete. After Codey’s team rejoined the ship, and all calculations were checked, the Chin’toka led the engineering flotilla safely through the transwarp gate, destroying it behind them.
