The Electrical Storm

• Real-Life Date: 27th - 29th of May 2022

• Stardate: 89402.5

An electrical storm formed around 777 and the station was put on yellow alert as various systems including turbolifts, environmental controls, brig containment fields, and replicators began to malfunction. Engineering and Operations worked to fix everything as quickly as possible and restore Starbase 777 to normalcy. Wheatley was able to fix the environment controls before something worse could happen, while Alizati got shocked in the process of trying to help, which resulted in more people finding out that he is an android. Lt. JG. T’Lauk also managed to restore functionality to the universal translator. Officers such as Ughaz’udan, Stone, and T’Kata patrolled the station and had to deal with civilians refusing to go to quarters and teenagers shoplifting. Elsewhere, a handful of officers had to catch escaped pet epohhs.

In the brig a fight ensued between brig officers and a Nausicaan prisoner, and this was soon exacerbated by Section 31 prisoners also joining in the fight. The Chief of Security managed to detain the prisoners again, but not before the Nausicaan managed to stab Dagis who was also being held there. Ensign Allen assisted with first aid and the brig was soon restored to normalcy. Meanwhile, in the physics lab on the Research Ring, a team of scientists worked on a device to break up the storm and end the ensuing chaos. They quickly fabricated six devices to be distributed by shuttle, and did just that. A fleet of shuttles were sent out, and the devices were successfully deployed, breaking up the storm. Unfortunately for one pilot, Lt. JG. Grey, the mission resulted in a multitude of injuries as her shuttle was damaged which resulted in her undergoing treatment in sickbay – but thankfully, the mission was complete either way and the station’s functions returned to normal.
