Summary
Log Entries
- Captain's log, stardate 3368.5:
- Mister Spock, Doctor McCoy, and Commander Scott are accompanying me to Aprilia III, site of a long-abandoned relay station built by a an alien civilization centuries ago. A Federation archaeology team has been stationed here for several months, attempting to glean an knowledge from the mysterious and unworkable technology, but has failed to make its last three scheduled reports. Subspace communication has gone unanswered. It's most likely a simple communications breakdown but best to be certain. The planet's unique radiation also prevents the use of the transporter, necessitating our visit via shuttlecraft.
