The Merchant of Mol'Rihan

• Real-Life Date: 19th - 21st of November 2022

• Stardate: 89883.7

It was a typical day on the station, starting off with a staff meeting called by Captain Mo.  It also just so happened to coincide with a transport from Mol'Rihan with a peculiar merchant onboard.

Not even two minutes into the meeting, the power in the brig flickered and all of the prisoners were let loose. Some were petty criminals, but the former section 31 agents were also among their ranks and quickly began to run amok on the station!  The senior staff was none the wiser to the situation as they quickly found out they had their own crisis on their hands. Whilst the station scrambled to subdue the escapees, the senior staff had to play along with the bomb's riddles to disable it.  

They were fighting against the clock and as if things couldn't get worse, a sleeping gas was released throughout the station and news of hidden bombs around the station was revealed. As the station erupted into pandemonium, the mastermind behind the chaos showed his face in the brig where he held his hostages in the now-vacant cells. The conductor of the whole operation was a Tal Shiar agent who tried to persuade two of his Romulan hostages to help him. Coincidentally the two Romulan hostages also had family ties to the Tal Shiar, but they were quick to prove their loyalty to Starfleet above all.

With all of this happening at the same time, it looked like the agent was going to escape with all of the information he had gathered from the station. The casualties were also quickly overwhelming medical, with a number of crew members injured after having come face to face with some of the escaped prisoners.  However the crew of 777 proved themselves to be as strong as ever. Soon enough the senior staff were able to crack the bomb's riddles along with the engineering skills of none other than our station Commander, the station's newest science officer Lt. JG. Hartley dispersed the sleeping gas, OPS and engineering disabled and removed the bombs, and a number of brave officers pursued the Tal Shiar spy with the chase ending with the successful apprehension of said spy.

After the conclusion of the whirlwind of events, the Section 31 prisoners were transported to appropriate Federation holding facilities and life on the station returned to normal.
