What Have We Gotten Ourselves Into, Day 2 On the Alien Vessel

Location(s):

• Alien Vessel – Cryostasis Lab

Characters Present:

• Commander Remira Johansen (Acting Captain)
• Dr. Ta’Feel (Chief Medical Officer)
• Lieutenant Thivi (Medical)
• Counselor Joey (Psychology / Mental Health)
• Lieutenant Junior Grade Maxun Spello (Intelligence)

The away team beams aboard the alien vessel and is met with an extensive cryostasis lab containing hundreds of dormant chambers, many of which are compromised. Commander Johansen and Maxun Spello survey the scene while the medical staff prepares to evaluate the stability of the chambers, potential risks, and the physiological compatibility of the alien beings with the crew’s medical systems. Ethical and safety considerations are paramount, especially concerning vulnerable subjects like a pregnant woman in stasis.

Dr. Ta’Feel and Counselor Joey coordinate to establish protocols for revival, health assessments, and mental health evaluations. The team debates whether to involve security or additional counseling personnel, weighing the possibility of cultural shock and potential hostility. The officers plan to test one chamber first, ensuring the safety of both the alien occupant and the Federation crew before wider revival efforts proceed.

Maxun observes that the ship’s computer appears to have autonomously prioritized survival for certain individuals over centuries, a revelation that shapes the team’s strategy. The conversation emphasizes risk mitigation, medical ethics, and the preservation of life, highlighting the complex responsibilities of handling ancient alien technology while safeguarding the crew and potential survivors.

As the team finalizes preparations, the decision is made to move one selected chamber—containing the pregnant occupant—onto an independent power source for transport to the Astrea. The post concludes with the away team ready to begin the delicate operation, balancing technological, medical, and ethical concerns in a high-stakes environment.
