== Mission Ten: [[Fields of Elysium]]==

'''Part I: The Mission'''

In Mid 2408 the [[USS Rosenante]] was assigned to explore a newly discovered region of space that exited from the Tau Sigma Flow of the Subspace River. This region had been discovered by an unmanned survey probe and opened into the [[Beltanis Stellar Nursery]].

When the Rosenante arrived, the captain decided to move into the nebula in the hopes of exploring an undocumented phenomenon. This phenomenon turned out to be an exceptionally rare event known as a [[Subspace Bubble]]. Unfortunately, the bubble burst slamming the vessel with a Class Six [[Graviton|Gravimetric Wave]].

The Rosenante was terribly damaged; suffering irreparable damage to the ship's Main Deflector Array and Power distribution network. With the ship's shields failing, the vessel hurriedly returned to the safe-zone at the terminus of the Subspace river.

After a couple of days of assessment and around-the-clock repairs, it was determined that the Rosenante would not be able to return to Federation space via the [[Subspace River]], as they could not open the river terminus without the use of their [[Navigational Deflector]].

'''Part II: The Distress Call'''

On their third day in the [[Beltanis Stellar Nursery|Nursery]] the Rosenante detected an automated federation Distress beacon. despite the fact that it was unlikely that any other federation starships were in the area, Captain Salid decided that the Rosenante should investigate.

The beacons prefix identification was finally determined to belong to the the [[USS Epiphany]] a [[Nova Class]] starship registry NCC-913081, which had been declared lost with all hands on Stardate 2392.01.19 (17 years prior.)

When the Rosenante responded, they discovered not the Epiphany, but [[The Harvester]].

The Harvester then proceeded to lock the Rosenante in a Tractor beam like grasp, scan the vessel and transport the Rosenante into the area of the vessel known as the Bone Yard.

''' Part III: Inside the Harvester'''

The arrival inside [[The Harvester]] was anything but accommodating. Upon their rematerialization, the Rosenante was immediately attacked by a group inhabiting the Harvester known as the [[Hur'q]].  These insect-like creatures are those  once referred to in ancient Klingon History as an invader that once tried to conquer the Klingon home world of [[Qo'noS]].

The attack came in the form of a small group of raiders that took advantage of the newly arrived ship's lack of shields (disrupted by the transport into the Harvester). 

Several small groups of assault troops were beamed aboard the Rosenante and these groups managed to tag and steal several supplies from cargo bays as well as a few pieces of minor equipment before they were expelled from the ship. During the skirmish it was determined that the Hur'q were immune to the heavier stun settings on Federation Phasers, and so the crew and security personnel were forced to use the higher level kill and disintegrate settings.

The [[Engineering]] team managed to restore their ship's only moments after the Hur'q retreated from the ship, although the invaders took all of their dead and it was  believed all of the Rosenante dead as well.

'''Part IV: The Anti-Hur'q Alliance'''

The Rosenante was contacted by the [[Nechani]] ship, [[NSS Oracle's Tears]] and a meeting was arranged aboard the Bastion.

The Anti-Hur'q Alliance was assembled and comprised of the leaders from the following Species as well as [[Ambassador]] [[Anna Morgan]]:

:The [[Nechani]]
:The [[Sky Spirits]]
:The [[Kobali]]
:The [[Hunters]]

The Rosenante Delegation was lead by [[rank|Commander]] [[Jennifer Caskie]] and was comprised of the following personnel.

:[[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[T'Larah Sullivan]]
:[[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Chance Raschen]]
:[[Rank|Ensign]] [[V'Shera]]
:[[Rank|Ensign]] [[Dorian Weaver]]
:[[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Jon Nayati]]
:[[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Thomas Jackson]]

:As well as a few security personnel.

Near the end of the negotiations the meeting was attacked by Hur'q raiders who activated a Transport Inhibitor to trap the Leaders of the alliance in the Bastion. Only Ji'yala had left prior to their arrival.

'''Part V: The Aftermath'''

The aftermath of the battle on the bastion was substantial. The Rosenante Crew lost both Weaver and Sullivan who were killed by Hur'q. Additionally Nayati was missing and  Raschen was critically injured. With such critical officers out of commission, killed or missing, the Rosenante crew are forced to adapt to fill their leadership positions. it later is learned that Nayati was 'saved' by the Sky Spirit leader Chaska during the battle. 

It is also suspected that the Kobali may be responsible for the missing bodies of the dead crew.

Unknown to the Rosenante crew, Sullivan's body has undergone the reclamation and is now a member of the Kobali race. 

Among those skilled in the battle among the non-Rosenante crew is the Sky Spirit Chief Nekawana and several hunters. Ambassador Morgan has been recovered by members of the Rosenante crew and is currently in sick bay.

''' Part VI: The Epiphany'''

A survey team lead by Lieutenant Marrow has beamed aboard the Epiphany to begin the survey of her systems in the hopes of reclaiming critical components and salvaging her Main Deflector. Over the course of the next month and a half the Engineering crew of the Rosenante, with assistance from their new alliance members, manage to salvage the Main deflector array and get it installed and operational aboard the USS Rosenante.

'''Part VII: The Alliance & Escape'''

The Escape Alliance is formed and all the various species within the Bone Yard of [[The Harvester]] are dedicated to working together to achieve escape. Lieutenant [[Alimi Morrow]] leads a mixed engineering team into the bowels of the Harvester with the goal of disabling the devices Transporters and Tractor beams. That mission is successful.

Additionally the engineering teams work around the clock to modify the Rosenante's Spiral Warp drive to emit Phased particles.

Using this drive and stabilizing the field with the newly restored navigational array, the Allies are able to escape the Harvester. The allies then parts ways on friendly terms.
