Recap

A short episode with three players, just the kind of numbers that I like. We find our intrepid players on a Runabout, shuttling back and forth between Federation space and Altara, liasing between Cat-Who-Yawns new government and the Federation council. Another successful diplomatic mission ended just a few hours earlier. Cat-Who-Yawns had presents for the three: battle sashes for John and Clancy and two male cat-slaves for Krystal. ("What the heck am I supposed to do with two cat-slaves?" "Isn't it obvious?").

On the way back the shuttle is attacked by a group of Klingon drones, which manage to punch through one shield before they're all destroyed. Where did the drones come from, this is nowhere near Klingon space?!? Clancy has a ion residue to follow, which leads to a lonely star system and then to a planet. An unusual planet, sorrounded by a purplish nimbus cloud. But what's more intruiguing is the old Federation survey ship orbiting the planet. The ship is the USS Karl Braun, lost for some twenty years.

Sensor scans show no signs of life. Since they're in a shuttle, they barrel into the Braun's shuttle bay. Once inside the ship, they have a look-see and find the engine room in ruins. Some sort of explosion ripped apart the engine room. The Captain's Log says that there was an explosion, the Braun limped to this star system and the crew beamed down to the planet to await rescue. But why were there no signals from the planet? Sensor scans are a confusing miasma of contradictory readings.
