USS Polaris - Montana Station - USS Ingenuity - USS Serenity

S2E2. Alone in the Night

In the darkness, a search for answers...

Mission Description

As the expansion of the Underspace into the Alpha and Beta quadrants threatened to upend the fabric of galaxy, the USS Serenity and the USS Ingenuity embedded with the Cardassians, feigning support for the Union’s plan to collapse the Underspace while secretly plotting against them. As the Cardassians set their plan in motion though, they were discovered, and a spiteful Gul opened fire on the pair of ships with a resonance pulse, forcefully ejected them from the Underspace in the middle of nowhere.

The USS Serenity and the USS Ingenuity now find themselves six thousand light years from Federation space, working to recover from the damage of the forceful ejection while struggling to cope with the reality that they’re stranded in the depths of the Beta Quadrant. Meanwhile, the rest of Polaris Squadron regroups at Archanis Station, clueless to the fate of the USS Serenity and the USS Ingenuity. While the door to the labyrinth has closed, a small team from the USS Polaris sets off to Montana Station in search of answers.

And Then She Was Gone

USS Polaris: S2E2. Alone in the Night

“You never did tell me… Why a Klingon opera?” That’d been what originally brought Lieutenant Balan to the holodeck, the original reason for her intrusion on the Arabian night. “You don’t exactly come off as a Bat’leths and bloodwine chick.” Not that [...]

Reflections in Darkness and Smoke

USS Polaris: S2E2. Alone in the Night

She took a deep drag and exhaled slowly. The smoke danced upward, snaking around her nose and rising into the blackened sky of the cold desert night. She watched it go, its wisps like her worries and her sins, fading into the darkness. The stars, the patio, and the shisha pipe, it all felt so real, [...]

Not The Team He'd Have Picked, But The One He Had

USS Polaris: S2E2. Alone in the Night

The briefing room was filled to capacity, every chair taken and officers standing along the walls as well. The Duderstadt class fast cruiser was never meant to serve as a flagship, but now, the USS Serenity had become one. In many ways, she was no different than her captain. By most definitions, [...]
