The Tiberius, having completed their mission on Moana III, was heading to Starbase 117 to deliver the Bluegill's Mother creature and the infected Romulans. Captain Ral informs the staff that there will be some personnel changes as well. First Officer Kingston has been promoted to Captain and will take over the reigns of the USS Kentucky. Ral escorted Kingston over to the Kentucky and left Lt. MacKenzie in charge of the Tiberius, a possible prelude to promotion.
Things started off relatively smooth for the crew. Lt. Vos & Ens Zaim started working in the science lab to study the crystal orb recovered from Moana III. While studying the orb, Ens Zaim, after touching the orb, developed a sudden migraine. A quick stop in sickbay didn't reveal anything too significant. A quick hypo-spray and Zaim went back to work.
This time, a larger crew assembled in the lab, including security, as the incident with Zaim concerned MacKenzie. However, before any additional work could be done, the team was recalled to the bridge to answer the hail of a Tellarite freighter, the Mork, who was in distress.
The Tiberius, only 2 hours away, was able to assist the Mork, who was having some engine troubles which was causing a slow radiation leak on the ship. A small away team, lead by Lt. Foxwell, beamed over to the Mork to begin repairs.
Shortly after the beam over, communications between the Tiberius and Mork were disrupted. Shields also went up but were not able to come down. Lt. Vos was also missing. Lt. MacKenzie (and others) started to suspect the ship was being infected by some sort of virus, perhaps from the Iconian Orb.
Meanwhile, on the Mork, the away team was able to make the needed repairs to the ship, while the Doctor treated the crew members for radiation sickness. However, the soon realized they were stuck on the Tiberius.
Back on the Tiberius, things were going from bad to worst. An unauthorized launch of a shuttle craft was detected. However, tractor beams were also taken offline. The crew tried to take another shuttle craft to chase after the previous one, no doubt controlled by Lt. Vos, but they were unable to leave the hanger.
MacKenzie ordered Zaim to go help search for Vos or what happened with him, but when he started to leave the bridge, he was quickly overtaken with pain and collapsed on the bridge. The medical team ascertained that the orb's previous effect had been amplified and was causing the problems. The medical team was able to devise a way to stop the orb from affecting Zaim (and the others) and was able to heal Zaim and prevent any long-term affects.
Meanwhile, a distress buoy was dispatched by the Tiberius in an effort to make the Mork aware of their situation. It seemed to work as the Mork, who was parked in parallel to the Tiberius, turned the ship to face them.
Meanwhile, a Lt Junior Grade discovered the orb was attached to the warp engines and was likely the cause of all the ships problems. Some quick thinking by the engineering team allowed them to find a solution they thought would, at the very least, give the Tiberius a window of opportunity to drop shields and return the away team, which had the ship's Chief Engineer onboard, to the Tiberius. It worked, and the away team was back just seconds before the shields went back up.
With Lt. Foxwell back, the engineering team was in better shape to deal with all of the problems. They were able to disconnect the orb from the computers and restore all the affected systems to their normal operational status. The Kentucky, having been hailed by the Mork, was racing back to the Tiberius to lend a hand, but things were relatively back in order by the time the Tiberius returned.
Captain Ral, while upset with the actions of Lt. Vos, was pleased with how MacKenzie and the entire crew reacted. This gave Captain Ral more confidence in wanting to pick Lt. MacKenzie to become his new First Officer.
The Tiberius is back enroute to Starbase 117 where an engineering crew will give the ship a once over to make sure no residual affects from the orb are found. While at Starbase 117, Captain Ral will continue his discussions with Starfleet about giving out some much deserved promotions to the crew.

Resolution on Moana III
The crew started the session in the briefing room with Captain Ral, XO Kingston & Security Chief Azonan. The Captain gave praise to the away team for their efforts so far and said, due to security concerns of the ship, that it may be best that this team beam down to the surface and let the Senior Staff stay on board the Tiberius to protect her.
The away team beamed down to an area near where the runabout and lifesigns were coming from. Very quickly were they in a shooting match for with 5 Romulans. However, combat didn't last too long as the numbers were on the away teams side, and the Romulans were quickly neutralized. Then the away team proceeded to approach the human, one Ensign LaSalle, who quickly pointed a phaser at the away team and questioned who they were. Once satisfied with their answers, he quickly told his story of how he ended up on Moana III before being beamed on board the Tiberius.
The away team then proceeded to the Ruins and were able to successful decipher some control panels that were Iconian. Once they made their way to the structure itself, they were able to break through the security panel and gained access to the facility.
Once at the bottom of a turbolift, the crew discovered another Romulan, who was quickly neutralized but joined by 2 more. These 2 were also quickly subdued.
Once the team was done dealing with the Romulan threat, Lt. Vos explored what appeared to be a library of sorts. He found and examined a triangle-shaped orb, which nearly caused him some pain. He surmised that this was some sort library and these were data crystals.
Meanwhile, Lt. Foxwell discovered what appeared to be a power room. While studying at one of the consoles, he appears to have tripped a setting. A countdown was discovered followed by flickering of lights and what appeared to be power drain coming from the room.
The next room ahead was where the entire team headed next. Inside, they discovered the Iconian gateway, which is now powered on, a Romulan commander and 8 Uhlans. The crew quickly realized the situation and dealt with the commander immediately, neutralizing her before the rest of the Romulans knew what was going on. The commander pleaded with the away team to have mercy as they were the last of their species.
The away team was able to shut down the gateway and secure all of the Romulans and march them to the surface, all without making a decision on what to do. Upon reaching the surface, they immediately instructed the Captain to beam down to the surface to do the negotiations. The Captain agreed to take the Romulans on board the ship as prisoners and to allow Starfleet Command to decide their fate.
But for now, the threat from these parasites appears to have been neutralized. The team has returned to the ship and is setting course for the nearest starbase to turn over the prisoners and to await their next mission.
