Norung - The Sixth Mission of the USS FEARLESS

Stardates: 211022.1930 - current

Mission Dates: 1.0800 - current

Mission Synopsis:

The USS FEARLESS and her small fleet of 6 Star Fleet escorts are still in the GAMMA quadrant, slowly making their way to the aperture of the Bajoran wormhole. Currently in Dominion space, they find themselves traveling though sections controlled by both factions of the Dominion civil war - the "True Way", the hard-line division that continues to seek control over all known space, and the "Great Link", a moderate group that is tentatively open to peaceful relations with 'solids'. The fleet has reached an agreement with a Great Link Founder for passage through Dominion space while requiring an escort of Dominion vessels. In addition, a Romulan scout ship, the VASHKOR, is currently being shared by both sides.

Since the lady Founder was angered about the damage to the VASHKOR and wanted it repaired quickly, it was agreed that she would give the SF fleet access to a repair station orbiting a nearby planet and even allow the fleet to have shore leave while the VASHKOR and SOYUZ were repaired.

However, once the SF crew arrived at Norung, they then found out that the Founder had neglected to mention that the populace of the planet has a cultural taboo against clothing. They believe that people covering themselves up (i.e. wearing clothes) is a disgrace against nature and dignity, almost as bad as murder. And since they don't even talk to anyone wearing clothes, first contact became very awkward. Currently, all personnel not involved in the repair work are allowed either free time on the ship's holodecks, or shore leave on the planet, which requires that they not wear anything.

Further, the crew discovered increasing planetary tectonic activity, genetic aberrations in the Vorta and Jem'hadar stationed there, and a cloaked base presumably run by the True Way, and a hostage situation on the ship. Currently, the crew is seeking to rescue a civilian child taken into the cloaked base, searching for their missing XO lost during an earthquake in the capital city, watching tensely as ships from both sides of the Dominion are likely in bound, a Borg ship also in bound, and the possibility of a Dominion Mad Scientist somewhere nearby.
