Upon examination of the the box found aboard the derelict Klingon vessel and the exact pattern of damage aboard the ship, Subcommander t'Veras determined three things: one, Kirina t'Nalah is alive. Two, she was aboard the Klingon ship- she was the one who disabled it. And three, at some point, t'Nalah was on Risa.
While my crew examined the remains of the U.S.S. Endeavour, Subcommander T'Veras beamed down to the remains of the derelict klingon vessel. Of note, she determined that the vessel had recently been repaired by a slave crew. Seeing as no record of Kirina existed on the ship, it is assumed that she was part of this slave crew.
On that note, very little of the Endeavour is salvagable. The vessel was set upon by no less than fourteen Birds-Of-Prey. I retrieve any dead along with their personal effects and destroy the ship.
After we finished examining the remains, we proceeded to Risa, based on the knowledge that t'Nalah had been there, and that was likely where we found find our next lead. We engaged the Dreden's slipstream drive in order to arrive more quickly, lest our leads go cold. We arrived at 1500 hours and beamed down.
Upon transport, we made our way to the shop from which the garment found inside the box was purchased. We discovered that the stock from which the swimsuit was taken was not yet for sale, so, while I distracted the shop's employee, Subcommander t'Veras investigated the shop's storeroom. There, she discovered not only a dampening field in place, but also a number of captives; likely being prepared for transport. She returned to the exterior of the shop, informing me of the situation. We then attempted to apprehend the shop's owner. Unfortunately, the owner, a Ferengi, displayed extraordinary strength and resilience; he was infected with a neural parasite. Though we managed to beam the Ferengi into the Dresden's brig, the Ferengi's guards were alerted. At least bystander was caught in the crossfire. We engaged them and managed to incapacitate one of them. At this point, the remaining guard retreated into the back room, and executed the remaining prisoners, to our horror. Soon afterwards, we managed to beam a security team through the interference.
Despite the loss of the prisoners, we managed to apprehend a person infected with a neural parasite alive. Information provided by this individual could this could save hundreds, if not thousands.
