"Romulan Aid Part 2"

During their work on Mol’Rihan the crew of the Phoenix were struck by yet another tragedy – the death of their commanding officer, Captain Rejema Khassid. The officer had been ailing for quite some time with an incurable progressive disease localised to her subspecies. It was a blow to the officers who were already reeling from the state of Mol’Rihan. Commander Dunamis – first officer – officially took over and was later promoted up to the full position of Captain.

In an attempt to lighten their spirits the crew were invited to take part in an expedition to explore a rainforest area of Mol’Rihan which had previously gone unexplored. During this expedition they discovered some form of ruins – and contained within it, an artifact shaped like an egg, containing a highly-concentrated amount of energy. The crew were attacked by the Tal Shiar who seemed to also be after this artefact, but after a skirmish the Phoenix crew managed to secure it. During a space battle with the Tal Shiar’s forces the artifact seemed to split and envelop the vessel in a blaze of light, almost terraforming the entire ship. Every deck was suddenly filled with plant life, covered in grass, moss, and trees. Streams began to flow upon the decks, animals spawned to life throughout; butterflies flitting back and forth, rabbits and voles scurrying in the grass, a shark being found within the ship’s sports pool. This artifact seemed to be some sort of genesis device. It was handed over to the protection of the Republic and while science officers worked to tend to all of the plants and animals which had formed, medical also came to quite the discovery – that this artifact had also resurrected their stricken captain, Rejema Khassid. The Cardassian opted not to re-take her position as captain, leaving it to Dunamis instead.
