A drill operator needed a tactical officer to help retrieve drill parts from thugs, a surveyor needed a science officer to perform a quick bit of geological surveying done, and another needed an engineer to do something I didn’t capture. While we were chatting up the locals, we came across three missions. The miners were grumbling that the Ferengi were taking advantage of them, but even they had to appreciate regular food, drink and a place to sleep. The mining colony had seen better days and was doubling as a Romulan refugee camp.
A Ferengi by the name of Madran gave us transporter coordinates to his operation. The last moon, inevitably, was the moon we were looking for. The people at the next moon didn’t want to talk with us. You’re welcome, Hfiharians! Hfiharrarsi? Whatever. Amazing, though, what popping a photonic fleet and then jamming sensors will do when you’re in a bind 🙂 With the Orion fleet now attaching Longasc and 411, I swung back in and got debuffing. Rock rock rock rock Orion Syndicate fleet rock rock r… DAMMIT! Where’d THEY come from? I didn’t get destroyed, but it was a near thing. Happy Sensors and I flitted to the nearest moon, scanning everything in range. (Oh, wait… my science officer tells me it was magnesite… Something entirely different! Never mind!)Īnyway, I decided I was going to be Ms. Maybe they should have used a paper clip on a string or something… I have no idea HOW Starfleet couldn’t figure out WHICH of the three moons was largely a magnetized chunk of iron. The presence of magnetite blinded ships sensors so much that we couldn’t determine which of the moons had the magnetite, so we had to go to each in turn.Ī note about magnetite: it is very common on Earth, being an oxidized form of iron, commonly found magnetized, hence the name. The Hfihar system includes three habitable moons orbiting a barren planet. It was nice to stretch out in the big ships after having to swim through the Vault in a shuttle. The Federation News Service formed up outside of the system Longasc in his Excelsior, Four Eleven in her ship (wasn’t paying enough attention, sorry!) and me in the Nebula. It’s tiny joys like this that brighten the Alpha Quadrant. What the Ferengi want, why the Remans were interested and which old friends will we find there… after the break.īut, just this: it’s worth turning the voiceovers up so you can hear the Vulcan admiral pronounce “Hfihar”. Some of the intelligence we recovered there pointed a moon in the Hfihar system, an old Romulan mining colony that has been re-opened by the Ferengi. Last week, in “The Vault”, we traveled to an immense space station in the Romulan neutral zone and discovered the sorry state of the Romulan refugees in the area, as well as the militaristic designs of the Remans. This is your money, Cryptic this is why we play. I guess they should make some sort of queue system, somewhere… The swarm of starships outside mission systems is just amazing. Mine enemy? Mine enemy is Cryptic, who, for the second feature episode in a row, couldn’t handle the press of people wanting to do the episode the moment it went live.
