| This is NOT your parent's Federation... The IGFW doesn't patrol with single ships but rather entire Carrier groups. This show of force is usually enough to keep would-be wrongdoers out of important space lanes. This is carrier group Nimrod and is comprised of typically ten ships of varying types all supporting a single carrier and her fighters. |

I stand at the head of the conference table, my gaze sweeping over my crew, and my family. The air in the room is tense, the mystery of this vanished crew was weighing heavily on everyone. In the back of the room, I have called for team leaders from each department assigned to this mission for their in-person insight as well as possible recommendations on how we might proceed.
“Alright everyone, let’s get started,” I began. “We have a lot to discuss. Ai, what do we know about the station’s security status?”
Ai, my chief of security and incidentally my wife, stands up and addresses me formally in front of the rest of the crew. “Captain, the station’s security systems are fully operational. There are no signs of forced entry or sabotage. The logs show that all security protocols were followed up until the moment the crew disappeared. It’s as if they just vanished into thin air.”
I nodded. “Lote’, what about the medical scans?”
Lote’, glanced at her datapad. “My teams have scanned the entire station for pathogens, foreign entities, and unusual energy signatures. There’s nothing out of the ordinary. The only life form we’ve found is Dr. Hewitt, who is still in cryo-stasis. We’ll need more time to bring her out safely.”
“Thank you, Lote,” I then turn my attention to my Chief Engineer. “Sabrina Wildman, what can you tell us about the station’s engineering status?”
Sabrina leans forward on the table. “Captain, all diagnostics indicate that the station is operating at peak efficiency. All primary and backup systems are functioning normally, and there’s no indication of any mechanical failure. All power levels are stable across the board, and the environmental controls are functioning at optimal efficiency. There’s no reason to believe the station itself is at any risk of unforeseen malfunction.”
I turn to Synthea to get her thoughts on the situation since she's been on this op from the beginning, “Synthea, any insights?”
Synthea shook her head, a mix of frustration and concern evident on her face. “No signs of struggle, Captain. No residual energy signatures or indications of what happened. The crew just vanished without warning, some seemingly in the middle of their daily activities. We did find some unusual specimens in some of the labs scattered throughout the station. They appear to be of extra-dimensional origin. Our security teams have recorded their temporal frequencies as regards each specimen and, while no two are alike, the scans indicate that the one thing they seem to have in common is that they all appear to be alternate versions of the same subject.”
So they're collecting specimens of the same subject from alternate realities? Never mind how insanely difficult that is to do randomly, how the hell are they locating them, and why would they even want to?
“Alright, let’s hear from the department representatives. Security, engineering, and science/medical, please share your observations and suggestions.”
The security team lead speaks first. “Captain, given the lack of evidence, I recommend we maintain a high alert status and continue our scans. We should also consider the possibility of an external force or entity that we haven’t detected yet.”
The engineering representative nodded. “I agree. We should run a full diagnostic on the station’s systems once more, just to be sure. Additionally, I want to investigate those specimens more thoroughly. They may hold the only clues as to what happened to the station's crew.”
The science/medical rep adds, “We should prioritize bringing Dr. Hewitt out of cryo-stasis. She might have crucial information about the station’s research and what led to the crew’s disappearance. In the meantime, we should continue our bio-scans and monitor for any changes.”
I take a deep breath. “Good suggestions. Let’s move forward with implementing these actions. Ai, keep your teams on high alert in two-man teams. Sabrina, have your people run those diagnostics once more. Lote’, you're to prioritize Dr. Hewitt’s revival and continue to scan for anything out of the ordinary. Synthea, I want you to coordinate the science team's investigation of the specimens. Let’s get to the bottom of this.”
The gathered crew nods in unison and departs to carry out my orders, each heading to their respective tasks. I watched them go, determination etched on my face. The mystery of the vanished crew was far from solved, but we were one step closer to uncovering the truth. I have a bad feeling about this whole setup. |

It takes a few minutes to coordinate the science and security teams, but soon, we have things well in hand. We move systematically through the station, clearing it deck by deck—a monumental task. In all, it takes 300 crew members two full days to secure the massive station.
I have my science teams begin disseminating the station’s research files to understand what they were really getting into. Meanwhile, my security teams go over every bit of sensor and station data with a fine-tooth comb. A bad day is becoming a worse week.
In the meantime, I keep the Phantasm at a discreet distance to avoid any issues and leave Shadow in charge. As we enter the central lab, Synthea sees it first. “Master! Over here!” I turn to look, gun drawn due to the urgency in her voice. “What do you got?”
“A life form, sir. It looks like one of the station’s crew.”
“Why didn’t we pick them up before?”
“It appears to be shielded inside this containment unit. Scanners can’t tell if they’re even alive.”
“Okay, let’s work on getting this field down and then we’ll see if they’re able to give us any information on what happened here.”
It takes a few minutes to hack through the security protocols, but we already have most of the station’s access codes, and Synthea makes light work of whatever is left. “I’m lowering the field now, Master.”
I turn to our subject and wave the science and medical teams over to run a scan before we even think of bringing this person aboard our ship. Besides, this station has better medical facilities than the Phantasm, so it might be best to have Lote’ come here and handle this instead.
“Sir.” My thoughts are interrupted by one of our lead medical officers. “What is it?”
“This woman is in deep cryo-stasis. It’ll be some time before we can get her transferred to the station’s hospital.”
“And why are you telling me this?”
“You’ll have to see for yourself, sir.”
As I approach the icy figure, I am a little stunned to see that this woman is the person the ship’s files identify as Dr. Hewitt, lead researcher and project coordinator for the station—AKA the head honcho. “Well, well, what do we have here? How is it you survived and everyone else vanished in a proverbial puff of smoke?” She doesn’t answer, and I don’t expect her to… yet.
I turn to my officer. “This is your number one priority. Contact the ship and get Lote’ down here ASAP. Place this deck and the hospital deck under full quarantine until further notice. Synthea is the only one granted access to come and go. Remain in your suits until further notice as well. Do not take any chances.”
Things are starting to look up but best not to count my chickens etc etc... |

| I'm not back at my post as High Justiciar for one day and I get a call from the emperor asking me to look into an issue for our Federation allies. It seems a remote research station has gone dark and thy need someone to check it out. So the Phantasm is assigned to the case due to its "Sensitive" nature. In other words, they need someone who can keep a secret. I take Synthea, and a couple of engineers just in case the station has any power or life support issues. Even though when we arrive our scanners say everything is operational and life support is nominal. In fact, the only thing out of the ordinary is that there's nobody on board... not one soul where there should be hundreds. I bring Synthea and a couple of engineers to investigate I also have a security team on standby along with a science team, better safe than sorry. As we explore I have Synthea check the database to find out what kind of research they're doing here while I check the station's logs. "Master?" (I hate when Synthea calls me that but I'm done arguing about it.) "What is it?" "I have examined the totality of the research projects for the station." The totality? That's a lot for a station of this size. "Really, in a station this size? How could you possibly be finished already?" My question isn't without merit, the station could run hundreds or even thousands of small studies and experiments but Synthea's answer only leaves me with more questions. "It seems the entire station was dedicated to only three classes of study. Magnetic fields, Frequency modulators, and directed energy transmission." Immediately my brain explodes with the only possibility of what those three things have in common... "What?! You mean to say they're researching dimensional shifting?" Syhtea looks at me with some concern and nods in confirmation. The primary concern here is that one shouldn't ever experiment with multi-dimensional technology as the consequences could be dire. On at least one world I personally know of, the idiots siphoned off their world's entire atmosphere and made the planet a ghost world. A second accounting of another planet was infested with demons and now requires round-the-clock surveillance to keep the damned things from escaping off-world... of course, the native inhabitants were completely wiped out. Now I'm on a station that missing its crew... Seems like they put this place in the middle of nowhere in anticipation of such a screw-up. The Phantasm is equipped with multi-dimensional drives but that's GSE tech and we only use it when taking jobs from them because they provide sold, safe coordinates... You can't just go stumbling around. "Okay, everyone... Keep your eyes and scanners peeled for SN threats and set your scanners accordingly. We're looking for anything that cloaks or turns invisible as well as any extradimensional portals." We're gonna need more boots on the ground. This is shaping up to be a bad day. |

| I am really starting to like Synthea as a character... There's a lot of personality in her face and mannerisms. Also, I love that she can wear sexy gear and it makes sense... without objectifying women in general (I'm anti-bikini armor) because when she does wear something provocative it's due to her programming. Otherwise, I need a solid reason to dress a female in something revealing and it has to speak about the specific woman and her mentality. |

| In this shot, I wanted to convey just what kind of character Omega is. Self-propelled FTL space travel, and of course a hint of cosmic power in her hands. Omega should be considered a "Silver Surfer" level kind of character. I walk a fine line between Marvel and DC-style characters... some are OPAF, and others are street-level vigilantes. |
