Allergic Reaction - Claimed

[Arrun Dihsar]

Mission Title: Allergic Reaction

Summary: The USS YourShip is adrift in deep space, its crew in a haze of audio-visual hallucinations. A shuttle of the crew, who had been on leave or off-ship business, arrive to find their ship adrift and its crew unresponsive. They must board the YourShip and figure out what happened to the Yourship; if nothing else, to avoid suffering the same fate.

Start Point: Some lucid crew aboard a shuttle discover the USS Yourship derelict in space with a euphoric crew.
End Point: Brought aboard the alien responsible and formulating a method to cure and protect the crew.

Story Beats
1: The Lucid shuttle crew arrives at the derelict USS YourShip and discovers the crew is in a euphoric haze.

2: Efforts are made to get some of the Euphoric crew to help solve the mystery of the ship's plight.

3: The ship is brought closer to full operation and some of the crew is helping (as best they can)

4: Early investigations reveal the USS YourShip met a friendly TradeShip and received an alien who appeared to be in a constant state of eurphoria. Standard supplies and minor personal effects trades were made; with some information exchanged to where the Trader was based out of and their flight plan.

5: Time to find that Trader! Which is easy to say but hard to do given that most of the crew is still in a haze and unable to help run the ship; best case scenario: the ship is at a skeleton crew filled with less-than-helpful crew.

6: Found the Trader! Upon being hailed, the situation being explained, the Trader apologies profusely for the confusion. Their species can, as a sort of defense mechanism, emit a strong pheromone/psychic wave that sends hostile aliens into a euphoria that spreads throughout a small population. On super-rare occasions, this can be done by accident as some species are especially to the lesser form of the "wave" that makes alien species behave a little friendlier toward them in person; a sort of allergic reaction.

7: Trader willing to help, but their ship is currently impounded and cannot depart from its current position. The home stretch involves getting the Trader alien to come aboard somehow. Once aboard, the Trader Alien can help a medical or science team puzzle out a way to cure the crew and develop countermeasures for future "allergic reactions."

Department Overview:
Science: Was it some sort of spacial anomaly? A psychic resonance? And can some sort of counter measure be devised?
Medical: A crew of euphoric people who are non-functional aboard a starship...they need medical attention to tend to accidental self-harm; determining what exactly (medically) is going on in their bodies...and can there be a cure of some sort?
Flight: The YourShip itself dead in space and needs to be brought to flying shape, leave it to the Flight Department to get at least this much done on their own; though, shuttlecraft use can help in surveying nearby space and planets for any sort of sources for the YourShip's fate.
Sec/Tac: The Ship's Safety is compromised by its own crew's state-of-mind; vital systems need to be guarded or locked-down
Engineering: The ship has been made derelict by idle hands and lack of maintenance; the ship needs to be brought to full operational power; plus, euphoric people are not kind to fragile or sensitive objects...
Ops: The ship has been thrown into chaos and little has been attended to on the ship, so they need to get the ship back in order once again; they can also help determine where exactly in ship's operations (timewise) the ship fell apart.

Experimenting with the shorter format. Little out there, but could be a bit of silly fun.
