| Description | A new strain of Rigelian Fever has broken out among a group of non-aligned colonies of the Aquil Sector, the virus is extremely infectious and the mortality rate is higher than any previously reported strain. Further its transmission vectors are unknown. Both Starfleet and the Aquil Government are nervous about the spread of the disease impose a joint medical quarantine of the affected systems until a treatment can be found. Captain Harrington is ordered to use the Caliban and rendezvous with the USS Sachs to transport aboard one of the Federation's top epidemiologists and delivers them safely to the quarantine site, however when they arrive to find the Sachs minutes away from a core breach. Beaming aboard the only two survivors they find them dying hideously as their nerves are slowly replaced by an inert silicate. Underway again the Caliban begins to have its own problems as systems begin to fail, slowly at first, but with increasing frequency; and to make things worse the crew is showing signs of falling ill as well. Can the crew deal with finding what is happening to them before it's too late? |

Mission Summary
For this adventure, I created a space-borne parasite that lives in the naturally energetic ring systems of a nearby gas giant. They feed on energy including electricity and leave behind inert silicon as waste, sprinkled with live parasites. They can infect ships and sentient beings equally (they found telepathic species especially tasty), clustering around the warp core and central nervous systems respectively. If left untreated characters die in slow agonizing ways, and ships explode as antimatter containment eventually fails.
