NARRATIVE
- 101168: the away team departed the Hornet Task Force onboard the SS Narfasha, a civilian light freighter, and proceeded though the Betreka Nebula in route to the suspected drug manufacturing facility on Astroid 37-2220. Reported manifest listed the ship as carrying twenty (20) barrels of pharmiceutical grade thalomephlyzine, though only one barrel was in actuality full of the chemical reagent while the rest contained distilled water.
- Accompanying the SS Narfasha was the frigate, USS Thrasher, to act as screen and if necessary emergency evacuation.
- Due to the Betreka Nebula's particulate composition, all ships traversing the nebula were forced to travel at sublight speeds and louver close Brussard collectors.
- The away teams aliases were as follows:
- LCDR J. Valusia would portray Anakkia Valusia, a cousin of the High Sisters, and the "Delbaj" or lieutenant of this sub-clan. She is an actual High Sister by birth of this clan, though she ran away from the clan around Stardate 80168. Her presense on this mission was necessary given the intricacies and double meanings of the High Orion or "Kolari Vaj" language normally spoken by the Valusia Clan as well as her natural Valusia family "smell".
- LT Drush would portray Yanniash Valusia, another cousin of the High Sisters, and the "Mori" or crewman.
- CAPT Vel would portray herself, but having been recaptured and made a "Dubi" or slave of the "Valusia Cousins". CAPT Vel had been held in captivity in the past, and her presense was merely to add realism to the cover given her experience during that time.
- LCDR J. Valusia and LT Drush both received injections to unblock their natural pheromonic output. This was done once on the SS Narfasha, away from other crew, as per Starfleet Regulation 7504.33.
- Additionally, LT Drush was injected with a substance that would enhance her normal pheromonic output to the levels that Valusia females are known for has well as change her smell to mimick the Valusia family.
- 101168 : the USS Thrasher split off and stayed on standby within 15Km of LZ and remained on standby until signaled.
- 101168 : the away team made vision contact with LZ. Landing control at LZ contacted. Permission was given to land at "Pad 6". Since the controller spoke in High Orion, LCDR Valusia handled the conversation.
- 101168.3 : The away team landed and made direct contact with a landing control officer. The exchange was handled by LCDR J. Valusia. The team was brought into a holding or greeting room while the landing controller went to notify the facility's "Shodar" ("chief"). It was suspected this greeting area had audio and video surveillence so covers were maintained.
- 101168.31 : The away team made contact with the shodar, who's LCDR J. Valusia's older sister, Sherrishia, as well as her older brother, Marrack. These were also the contacts on the inside of the operation who had been feeding information to Starfleet Intelligence regarding this operation.
- 101168.32 : Sherrishia sent the controller and guards away, and then blocked the surveillence devices.
- the drug, "Zal Vesh" was still unable to only mimmick enthrallment by Ensia herself. This apparently was so upsetting to Ensia, that she had, on that day, come to visit Dr Nua to inspire him to "work harder".
- Dr Nua and Ensia Valusia were at that time in Ensia's "Throne Room". Guards had been posted outside, so the conversation could be private.
- Marrack Valusia, the facility's engineer, indicated that there was only one entrance to the throne aside from a secret escape passage that would be "closed for maintenance". This would effectively block any means for escape for Dr Nua and Ensia. Marrack furthermore indicated that the interior of the facility was shield to prevent scanning as well as transporter locks, therefore a security force would have to come in via the cargo and greeting areas. Marrack indicated that he could open all security systems and would guide the MACO troops into the interior of the facility, once they landed on a landing pad or beamed into said reachable areas.
- 101168.36 : CAPT Vel called for the security force to land and enter, then proceeded with LCDR J. Valusia, LT Drush, and Sherrishia Valusia to the "Throne Room". No resistance was encountered at this point. The door was sealed with a breath lock and required a member of the High Family (Ensia or her siblings) to breath upon the breath sensor. Sherrishia Valusia did so and the away team entered the throne room, and the away team made visual contact with Ensia Valusia as well as Dr Tang Nua and confronted same.
- 101168.38 : Ensia Valusia ordered her guards who were stationed outside the throne room door to seize us. LT Drush was about to hold them off with knives and a disrupter pistol. The security team from the Thrasher that was made of elements of the 6th MACO Group along with Marrack Valusia cut power to the facility.
- 101168.38 : LCDR J. Valusia used her now active pheromones to enthrall Dr Nua to keep him from escaping, and to have him comply with orders to surrender notes, and submit to MACO for arrest.
- 101168.38 : Ensia then charged the group with a eshmek, a small, Orion, scythe-like one-handed blade. CAPT Vel, charged to intercept and then engaged in hand to hand combat with Ensia. Ensia lost her grip on the eshmek, which in the struggle flipped up into the underside of her chin, and then was driven into her thalamus through her brain. She died very shortly after.
- 101168.39 : LT Drush was able to use her newly restored pheromones to enthrall and pacify the attacking guards which kept the guards casualties to one. The detachment from the 6th MACO GRP arrived with Marrack Valusia.
- 101168.4 : Dr Tang Nua was arrested, and still under LCDR J. Valusia's control surrendered all notes, samples, and data concerning the illicit drug.
- 101168.45 : It was confirmed that the drug "Zal Vesh" was not only intended for used against other syndicate houses but also possible influence in the affairs of other factions outside of Orion Space.
- There was evidence that Ensia was intent on taking power of the Orion government, reinstating the Kolari Vaj, or Great Orion Empire, and putting herself in as the ruler.
- There was also evidence of plans to influence Federation activities.
- 101168.46 : Starfleet personnel along with Sherrishia Valusia proceeded to rendezvous with the USS Hornet onboard the USS Thrasher.
With the death of Ensia Valusia, Sherrishia was able to take the position of Tabadi. She is looking to stop the family’s activities within the Syndicate, as well as increase legitimate business ventures. She is also rebuilding the Valante’ Valusia Academy of Arts and Sciences, an ancient and storied education organization that had fallen into dissolution 230 years ago.
RECOMMENDATION Sherrishia Valusia Tabadi, the new matriarch of Valante’ Valusia Kar, has requested diplomatic discussions with the United Federation of Planets in order to establish legal trade relations with the Federation and allies.
RECOGNITION CAPT Lunya Vel and LT Lalaa Drush for their quick and decisive action that facilitated securing the base for further action by MACO squads in reserve. CAPT Vel for preventing Ensia from attacking others. LT Drush for key decisions that were crucial in this operation being a success.
