Part of Bravo Fleet: The Devil to Pay

Archanis Station - USS Polaris

S2E4. Contagion Unleashed (The Devil to Pay)

Soon, fear would take hold. Soon, this place would be deserted. And soon, many would die.

Mission Description

While Admiral Reyes races away on the USS Diligent to address the issues on Duraxis, the Advanced Science, Technology and Research Activity presents their findings related to the Underspace at a symposium on Archanis Station. After a mysterious figure arrives on the station though, people begin to grow ill. At first, it’s just a few, but its spread is rapid. Then the lab results come back, revealing a virological vector of terrifying origins, one with no known, a high virulence, and a nearly 100% mortality rate.

In an effort to contain the spread before it completely overtakes the station, and to prevent it from spreading beyond, the station’s command staff enacts desperate containment measures. Now, as healthcare workers aboard the station fight against an indefatigable enemy, the race is on aboard the USS Polaris to find a cure. But then its own crew members begin to show symptoms too. The clock is ticking. If a cure cannot be found before it spreads into every nook and cranny of the station and the ship, when the USS Diligent returns home, there’ll be no one left alive.

A Body Found... A Hope Dashed

Archanis Station: S2E4. Contagion Unleashed (The Devil to Pay)

As Commander Kris Eriksson walked the promenade, it was the silence that surprised him the most. For a station that never slept, the stillness was haunting, made more real by the isolation of his hazard suit. With the mask down, it almost felt like an away mission to a derelict station. Except, of [...]

To Wait And To Watch

Archanis Station: S2E4. Contagion Unleashed (The Devil to Pay)

“In the past twenty four hours, case counts have risen to one hundred and fourteen.” One hundred and fourteen. A start, but not nearly enough. Not yet. The contagion had only just begun to spread. And spread it would, just as it was designed. “Our staff are working tirelessly to render [...]

Hunting Ghosts

Archanis Station: S2E4. Contagion Unleashed (The Devil to Pay)

Admiral’s Log. Stardate 78927. So far, the lockdown is holding. Commander Eriksson has reported only a few instances of non-compliance aboard the station, and Captain Cassidy has only had to run down one ship breaking quarantine. Unfortunately, that’s where the good news ends.  Aboard the [...]
