USS Endeavour

A Handful of Dust

As the Century Storm ravages the Paulson Nebula, Endeavour is sent to rescue the lost USS Odysseus, whose complement includes several individuals dear to the crew...

Mission Description

And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

– ‘The Waste Land,’ T.S. Eliot

 

Twenty years ago, Cadets Karana Valance and Cassia Aquila met at the Academy and formed a bond of lifelong friendship. One year ago, the USS Endeavour pursued and destroyed the Wild Hunt pirate group, aided by Commander Aquila’s USS Odysseus.

Three months ago, Lieutenant Commander Davir Airex, Chief Science Officer of the USS Endeavour, demanded a transfer with no notice and no explanation to those closest to him. Not to Valance, his closest friend. Not to Lieutenant Kharth, who had known the Trill best when he was Davir Hargan, their relationship never recovered from his changes after Joining.

The Century Storm may include the manifestation of subspace anomalies set to contort the boundaries of time and space, but with the USS Odysseus lost in the Paulson Nebula, it needs no such phenomena to dredge up the past…

The message shone at her like it had for the past two hours. But no amount of staring in the dark in her office could change it. Still, that was where Valance found herself when she realised that, over the course of the long evening, the low hum in the deck that had become an accepted background [...]

USS Endeavour: A Handful of Dust

At last, the stars streamed past the windows of Round Table as Endeavour moved gently at warp through the depths of the Paulson Nebula towards Starbase Bravo. Weeks of starships braving the dangers of the rifts to close them made the region more placid now, their warp field stable and their [...]

USS Endeavour: A Handful of Dust

Kharth tried to not look like she’d been waiting outside of Sickbay when she ambushed Carraway on his way out. ‘I know you can’t tell me anything sensitive,’ was what passed for a greeting, ‘but is Templeton alright?’ Slightly startled, it took a moment before Carraway summoned his [...]

USS Endeavour: A Handful of Dust

The main ballroom of the Seashine Hotel had little to recommend it compared to the grand halls of Betazed, but Thawn had to admit it was impressive for a distant land of leisure such as Whixby. More impressive, perhaps, was the diligence the Lillarties had applied to making it fit for a party [...]
