S04 Ep01 Captive State  Part 2- by Lt R Dodd CEO

Search and Rescue of Federation Captives and the Tomcat's Captain. 

The Federation has lost contact with data gathering efforts on a planet that apparently had been selected by the Preservers to be a safe location for humans retrieved from Earth from a long time ago. The Federation sent a team to the planet to observe the culture and civilization that has developed to learn more about the ancient cultures and civilizations on Ancient Earth. However, the team of observers have disappeared, and the data collection satellites have malfunctioned. When the data from the satellites stops, the Federation is alerted to the situation. It was a long-term mission so they could watch children grow to adults. The mission of the original observation team was to be for 15 years; however, it has now been 20 years and still no word from the team. Now the Federation has decided to send a ship to investigate.

So, The Tomcat is stationed at Starbase 51 and the Captain is temporarily assigned to a mission on the Leto leaving Lieutenant Colonel Somers in charge of the ship. After the captain is finished in the Leto, she will be heading back to Starbase 51 to rejoin the Tomcat, however she will be abducted along with all personnel on the transport. A briefing will happen between Colonel Somers and Rear Admiral Casey. Rear Admiral Casey tells Colonel Somers that Fleet Captain Somers was reported missing between departing the Leto and arriving at Starbase 51. The transport that was en route to Starbase 51 was found intact and adrift in space with all hands missing. However, there is a necessary mission that Starfleet needs the Tomcat to go investigate. There is a long overdue observation team assigned twenty years ago to examine a civilization of humans found in an explored planetary system (569701). The Tomcat will be needed to work on the mission but on the side can work to figure out the mystery of the missing passengers and crew of the transport. Starfleet will share all data on the disappearance of Captain Somers with reports and any logs that come up on the case. Then there will be a briefing with COL Somers and LT Dodd to have her tell him about the ADML’s directive and the kidnapping of CPT Somers. 

The USS Tomcat under command of COL Somers with a temporary promotion for LT Dodd to the acting XO is ordered to investigate and return with any survivors of the observation team. The mission will start with the Tomcat headed for the fourth planet in the system of 569701 which is mostly unexplored. The fourth planet is RH2020-4 but referred to by some as Arth since it is some much like Earth and even has humans on it. The hypothesis is that the same beings that put humans on Ameriend (TOS Paradise Syndrome) also put the humans on Arth. However, the humans on Arth were being studied by Starfleet for anthropological purposes since they have evolved to a point where they were similar to Earth Humans, but they lacked some of the developments at that time. However, something went wrong after the Starfleet observation team took occupancy in a concealed duck blind. The planet saw a rapid growth of technology and other situations.

Section 31 tech gets into the wrong hands.

Things for Kelnar have not gone well. His recent deal with the Orion syndicate spectacularly fell through. Now the Ferengi fear he will be dragged before the Grand Nagus and ridiculed. For his lack of business sense. He needs a successful business deal fast.

Mission Summary

He comes up with the idea of scavenging for salvage. Around wreckage found on recent battlefields. Sometimes valuable items get left behind. Plus if anyone protests, he can claim universal salvage rights. So with his brother Janar, they start scavenging around crash sites and recent battlefields.

Their first attempt goes quite well, and they make a good profit. However, their next attempt at scavenging a battlefield ends up with them being fired upon. By the owners of the wrecked vessel. With their ship badly damaged, they managed to flee. But they had to land on a deserted moon for repairs.
