ADDENDUM This addendum follows from CAPT Mirazuni’s report.
As I entered the bridge, the Cthon on the crew who were beamed aboard had begun to portal their way through the ship. Security teams were outfitted with kinetic weapons from the armouries and sent to hunt the bugs, alongside teams from the U.S.S. Defender, who had responded to the ship’s distress call.
On the bridge, several plans were made. As the bugs fed on energy, it was decided to cut energy in the ship to evacuate the crew to centralised areas. Science teams on the three vessels worked on ways to place the ship in a dampening field to stop the Cthon from portalling.
In the ready room, we found a member of the crew, controlled by a Cthon, trying to gain access to the ship’s systems. They weren’t able to access much, but did get access to the ship’s technical readouts, and placed the ship’s shuttles, transporters, and lifepods on lock. When the Cthon found out that it was surrounded, it portalled away, leaving the crew member dead. When checking the deceased’s combadge, we found out where the Cthon were hiding, and began to get reports of them down in main engineering.
Reaching Deck 21, one of the Cthon attempted to attack us. The disruption field was deployed successfully, and the Cthon was killed. We carried on to Main Engineering, where two of the bugs were trying to access the warp core.
With options restricted, Captain Nimitz ordered the warp core to be ejected; this was done safely by Lieutenant Jeei, killing the two Cthon who were attempting access. The final Cthon attempted to fire a torpedo into space, no doubt to escape. The torpedo was allowed to launch, before it was shot down by the other two vessels. The final Cthon was then hunted down and killed.
The U.S.S. Endeavour was then towed back to DS13, where it will require a new warp core.
RECOMMENDATION The Cthon pose a huge threat; I echo Captain Mirazuni’s recommendation. It should be noted that the methods that we used to contain them on the U.S.S. Endeavour were ultimately effective, though risky.
Lieutenant Commander Reyes would no doubt find the autopsy of the Cthon remains to be revealing, and it could allow us to learn more about the species to counteract their methods.
RECOGNITION All crew performed well. Lieutenant Terre’s calm in ejecting the warp core was commendable, though it is recommended that people ensure nobody is on the warp core before the ejection process begins.
OOC This is Brie’s addendum for the event The Visitation Part 3.
