USS Kennedy - USS Ingenuity - USS Polaris

S3E1. Seeds of Skepticism

Scarred by recent events, but beneath the soil, an even greater sickness awaits...

Mission Description

Aboard the USS Kennedy, Ambassador Drake sets out on a diplomatic tour of several worlds within the Meronia Cluster. When they arrive at Leipa IV, an agrarian colony regarded as a breadbasket of the sector, he encounters skepticism from the colonial leadership, both pent up from decades of neglect and driven more recently from the sense of abandonment when the Vaadwaur arrived.

While the command staff attempt to repair damaged bridges with the colonial leadership, a pair of ensigns take a walk through the fields. What they find beneath the soil is something far more concerning, and members of the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity are called in to assist.

Where Were You?

USS Kennedy: S3E1. Seeds of Skepticism

“You say you’re here for us, but where were you when the Vaadwaur came?” Captain Ria Alleyne looked down at the table with guilt. “And before that, where were you when the blight ravaged our world and our children starved?” Again, she had no answer. “As long as I [...]
