Episode 18: The Hunted

150. We open on the away team, they venture into the building we spotted before. The power seems to be mostly out. We have a vague layout, but not sure how to shut down the shielding blocking us from the Omega molecules.

151. We send Dalton in to scout. He runs into a door he can’t open. Comms are choppy in there. Prell and Aldrin follow him in to get the door open

152. Slow Lucas fixes the communication issues. Prell finds the reactor and notices some oncoming

153. We get the door open. High levels of Theta radiation on the other side. It says something on the outside - in a language we don’t understand. seismic activity.

154. In the room there is a big control panel and a porthole leading towards a room behind large “cargo bay”-ish doors. The porthole is covered with, essentially, metal blinds. Prell does some magic and gets the blinds up. Through the porthole we see floating blue...things...in a containment field.

155. The Dolreans show up.

156.  We get the containment field down, and Slow Lucas successfully captures the stuff.

157. Swayze runs to fight the Dolreans, Slow Lucas beams the rest of the away team back onto the shuttle.

158.  Aldrin tries to attack the Dolreans from the shuttle, failing spectacularly, getting shot with a plasma gun in the process. Slow Lucas beams the containment device into the stratosphere. Prell manages (somehow) to keep the idiotic captain alive.

159.  Prell detonates the containment device.

160.  Slow Lucas tries to transport Red Shirt 1 onto the shuttle, but fails, beaming an angry Dolrean on instead. The angry Dolrean shoots and kills Dalton, Prell and Slow Lucas work together to transport him back off the shuttle. Meanwhile, Swayze gets vaporized on the ground, and Slow Lucas is only able to recover his comm badge.

161.  Prell takes command of the away team, and we leave the Dolreans to the facility. Debris from the Nightingale leads the away team to believe that the ship has been destroyed, so Prell has them set a course for the nearest star base.

162.  Meanwhile, on the Nightingale, Zodd relinquishes command to McHenry, and engineering begins repairs. They are unable to raise/find the away team and decide to limp back to the nearest star base with the refugees from the station.
