No Man Can Shun His Destiny

Only days into their first mission, the USS Artemis is attacked by a mysterious ship, leaving them crippled as they attempt to make their way back to Federation help.

Act One
"Captain's Log. Stardate 2260.013. In the early hours of this morning we managed to narrowly escape a firefight with an unknown entity despite being in well within Federation territory. Ship repairs are underway thanks to Lieutenant Commander Mitra’s engine team."

The bridge crew consisting of a mixture of Alpha and Gamma crew has recently escaped a firefight with a unknown vessel that began firing without warning. While travelling at warp speed, the Artemis is ripped out of warp and returned to impulse speed. Captain Fortuna inquiries with Lieutenant Commander Mitra, and is told that the cause of the warp failure was most likely because of damage from the fight.

The engine is not the only thing damaged; so are the weapons systems. Lieutenants Zi and Chhetri attempt to restart the shields and weapons. Ensign Dupont tries to contact Starfleet but finds that communications is being blocked by something.

Commander T'se stands from her station, clearly suffering from a head injury, and declares that it is not something but rather  'someone'. The unknown vessel from before is a group of Logic Extremists; Vulcans who believe in separation from the Federation, known for targeting mixed species families.

Fortuna tells T'se to report to medbay, however she declines. She does point out that Commander Sanchez was knocked out by the sudden stop and is now bleeding on the console. Cadet sh'Zhysrak helps the Command up and takes her to medbay upon the request of Fortuna.

Lieutenant Junior Grade Farzad arrives on the bridge and replaces sh'Zhysrak. Lieutenant Commander Vra begins navigating the ship from an auxiliary command station. Dupont manages to get a connection through to the nearest Federation planet; Vulcan. Unfortunately, there is a large amount of traffic on subspace communications and it seems as though it may take some time to connect. T'se begins to give Dupont a private call sign when the ship is attacked once again.

Act Two
The bridge of the Artemis is in complete darkness. Fortuna comms Mitra with no response. Eventually the auxiliary lights come online and the carnage on the bridge is visible. Farzad is barely able to hold on to her seat as she attempts to correct the ship. Chhetri, Zi, and T'se have all been rendered unconscious by the attack. Fortuna comms Mitra for a second time, this time receiving a response. The engines have been wrecked beyond feasible repairs and all of the engineers are incapacitated. Fortuna gives Dupont the private call sign and he hails it. The call is picked up by Lady Yiluv, who did not expect to see Fortuna. The Captain asks for aid, explaining their situation, and Yiluv provides it.
