Part of Bravo Fleet: The Devil to Pay

USS Polaris - USS Diligent - USS Pacific Palisades

S2E3. Subversion Unveiled (The Devil to Pay)

When petty crimes turn to terrorism, there’s more at play than frontier localism.

Mission Description

The USS Pacific Palisades and the Archanis Detachment of the Corps of Engineers has deployed to Duraxis, a colony near the Klingon border in dire need of infrastructure modernization. When they arrive, they find the colonists skeptical of their motivations, and a leading political figure stokes the fires with claims that things were better before Starfleet arrived with its supposed aid. The Palisades‘ mission is further undermined as things start to go wrong. First, they struggle to meet schedules as equipment goes missing, and then a water purification plant malfunctions, making people sick. All of this pales in comparison to what happens next when the newly-installed fusion reactor loses containment. While the team manages to stop a catastrophic failure that would have flattened everything within a dozen kilometers of it, the colony is plunged into darkness and, afflicted by hysteria of what Starfleet will do wrong next, the colonists begin to riot.

While the USS Pacific Palisades struggle to manage mounting the populace, the Corps of Engineers then make an unsettling discovery: containment was lost, not because of a system failure, but because of highly advanced malware that bypassed their fleet-grade cybersecurity measures. Briefed on the matter by Commodore Agarwal, Fleet Admiral Reyes, along with a team from JAG and ASTRA, take the USS Diligent and head for Duraxis, looking to stabilize the crisis and get to the bottom of what is happening at the colony. As they dig, it becomes clear there’s more at play than some locally-inspired terrorism.

Occurs concurrently with S2E4. Contagion Unleashed (The Devil to Pay).

“Tell me, dear admiral. How are things on Archanis Station?” Admiral Reyes stared at the monster in their brig. How did it know about Archanis Station? Was this all somehow connected? Her face betrayed none of her thoughts though. She was too practiced for that, and she wouldn’t offer it [...]

This Isn't Over

USS Polaris: S2E3. Subversion Unveiled (The Devil to Pay)

The door to the observation room hissed open, and two men who absolutely despised each other stepped through. There was Erlic, the current governor of Duraxis, dressed in the fineries of his office, and Voral, the localist hero who was opposing him in the upcoming election.  Or at least that was [...]

You Were What It Didn’t Count On

USS Polaris: S2E3. Subversion Unveiled (The Devil to Pay)

As she came to, her ears rang, and her head throbbed. What the hell had just happened? Her memory began to come back to her. It was Captain Feng. When she’d revealed herself, the captain had opened fire. No warning, no nothing. And then that grenade. That grenade had gone off. “Morrey to [...]

Something Soon, He Said

USS Polaris: S2E3. Subversion Unveiled (The Devil to Pay)

“There was something about the way he said it,” Ensign Alessa Elara observed. “He knows we have the Teral brothers, and he must know they could implicate him in the attack, but he doesn’t seem the least bit concerned. It was his word choice too. Something soon, he [...]
