| Description | The crew of Poseidon Station, together with the Aquilians, find an old temple-like structure that’s half-buried underground and located in one of the dense jungles on planet Aquil. A team consisting of both Starfleet officers and Aquilians is sent to investigate. The inner walls of the temple are covered with pictograms and other markings (think hieroglyphs). Some of them look familiar to the Aquilians and describe certain aspects of their religion and also of a time when they, as a species, were able to perform extraordinary mental acts. Deep inside the temple, ancient - but still advanced - alien technology is found that has never been encountered before. It obviously doesn’t belong there. One type of system seems to be a cryo chamber, and there are a lot of those. Others bear similarities to a biobed. And yet another seems to have functioned as a computer. The rest is unknown. A more gruesome find is the discovery of several Aquilian skeletons. Some of the skulls show scratches, others have multiple tiny holes in them. To what end was the temple built? Why is there advanced alien technology inside the temple? What was the cause of death of the (primitive) Aquilians? The team is faced with a big mystery. One which they can only solve by working together. |

Mission Summary
Departmental notes
Command: What do leaders do best? Lead!
Medical: Can try to figure out for what purpose the ‘cryo chambers’ and ‘biobeds’ were used, and try to find an answer to what happened to the dead (primitive) Aquilians and why.
Science: Can work together with Medical, but also explore the temple itself, and try to figure out how to read all the pictograms and markings on the walls. Some Flora and Fauna might be highly unusual (whole separate habitats down there), even for Aquil, and even dangerous.
Security / Marine Detachment: Protect the team as a whole while inside the temple and the groups of people while they go about and explore different parts of the temple. You never know what these ancient aliens left behind or if some parts of the tempe are unstable.
Mental Health: Help people keep their senses and stay focused on their job. Being deep inside an ancient temple with dark, small, corridors and spaces can cause (e.g.) claustrophobia.
Intelligence: Work with Engineering/Operations and/or Security/Marine Detachment. The alien ‘computer’ might use unknown encryption protocols.
Engineering/Operations: Help Medical and Science with their tasks, try to extract useful information out of the alien ‘computer’.
