Boarding the Alien Vessel: Initial Response Team

Location(s):

• Alien Vessel – Docking Ring
• Shuttlecraft Nostromo (Docked)

Characters Present:

• Commander Vila Lorut (XO / Science)
• Commander Clay McIntyre (Chief Security)
• Lieutenant Mundy (Operations)
• Lt. Shelly Guevera (Pilot)
• Dr. Daniel Jackson (Science Liaison)
• Ensign Dani Harper (Science)
• Tel’im (Romulan Science Liaison)
• Ensign S’Niri (Security)
• Petty Officer Enam Nemec (Security)

Vila orders McIntyre and Enam to lead the column into the alien vessel, with S’Niri and herself following close behind. Dusty panels and eerie silence raise the crew’s unease, but tricorders confirm no lifesigns aboard. S’Niri notes the age of the ship while Vila—drawing on her Bajoran resistance instincts—keeps her guard high.

Back on the shuttle, Daniel clashes with Shelly over her use of ballistic firearms, citing safety risks. Shelly insists on their necessity and superiority, though Vila quickly orders her to secure the weapons and accept a phaser. The exchange creates tension, with Dani and Tel’im attempting to keep professionalism at the forefront. Dani introduces the scientific objective: locating crystal batteries needed for restoring life support. She shares images and signatures with the security team, suggesting tricorder calibration for the search.

Vila tasks Mundy and McIntyre with leading a security sweep of nearby corridors while the rest of the away team secures the shuttle and preps equipment. Reports soon confirm the area is dark but clear, prompting Vila to order final suit checks, tricorder calibration, and flashlights before advancing deeper into the vessel.
