==Mission 1 - "Ghost in the Shell"==
Located Below you will find three helpful pieces of information on this mission. First is a generalized Mission Overview which covers only specific and important events. Second is excerpts from the Captain's Log entries made during the mission, this can make for quite a read, but contains far more detailed and in depth accounts of the mission and the events surrounding it. Third is the crew's personal logs which will give insight into the mission from their perspectives.

First Officer's Log: Stardate 20812.10
Ultimately, our pursuit of the vessel in question was less difficult than it appeared. The ship was indeed living and had been damaged by an unkown cause, which was why the distance of each of its jumps was decreasing.
After we approached the vessel without it jumping away again, probably because it no longer could, I led an away team over to inspect the vessel and, if possible, find a way to help it. The away team consisted of a Doctor Larsen, Chief Engineer Trem, Science Officer St. Vrain, Security Chief Pedersen, and a security team.
Upon arrival in an open space of the alien vessel, we found that we could not communicate with the Darwin. Then we were forced to move to another room due to some form of an electrical discharge from the ceiling. I had concluded that it was a natural activity of the alien ship, as PO3 Moffet was protected from the effects of the discharge when he failed to clear the area in time.
The ship exuded some sort of gel from itself that covered the crewman before the charge took place, protecting him, but not his equipment.
The second room we encountered also reacted the same way, but this time we all managed to clear the room before any one could be harmed. Thus we found ourselves in a corridor with several exits, each blocked by an aperture that was closed by what our medical officer determined to be muscle tissue. She used a muscle relaxant on the door opposite from that which we entered, opening the door and allowing us to pass into another corridor.
This corridor was like the first (see sensor logs for details), save for it only had one other door, again opposite from where we entered. The corridor was lined on either side by three nodes that emitted electromagnetic interference that prevented our equipment from working. Due to the fact that neither this nor the corridor behind us reacted like the first two rooms, I incorrectly concluded that the reaction from before was not defensive, but part of how the ship worked, and we were now safe because we were in a section that was intended for habitation.
Doctor Larsen was out of muscle relaxant, and with none of our other equipment working we were prevented from proceeding.
Unable to advance, and unwilling to turn back because of the electrical discharges in the previous rooms we stayed in the corridor, waiting for something to happen. One of the security officers and I heard sounds coming from the other side of the closed aperture, which I mistook as movement of another inhabiting creature. I attempted to make contact, but there was actually nothing to make contact with. I even tried to force the aperture opened, but failed.
During this time it seems the ship was dying, as after a time the aperture muscle began to fail, and we found the reason we could not open the door was that it was defending us from the hull breach. As the aperture slowly opened, the air began to vent. The ship protected us, as it had for Moffet when we first boarded. Tendrils extended from the floor to hold us down and we began to be covered in the same gel.
The next thing to happen was the timely beam out back to the Darwin, as whatever was blocking our signal dissipated with the ship as it died. See medical report for status of crew upon return.

__NOEDITSECTION__
The USS Darwin heads out on a routine survey, when it registers a ship that appears and disappears literally meters away. Eventually the Darwin tracks down the alien vessel and after some haphazard communication, the ship turns out to be a highly advanced and almost sentient construct. The vessel has been heavily damaged by some unknown force and is 'dying'. Can the crew save the vessel and win it over, or will it die?
