While on shore leave aboard [[Starbase 989]] Captain Salid and the crew of the Rosenante are tied up in a crisis unlike any other that they have faced. 

The [[Tellarite]] freighter [[Moarvol]] inadvertently managed to bring a colony of [[Vexarak Spoiler]]s aboard the starbase in a shipment of 

[[Magnesite]] ore collected from the [[Zeta Draconis System]].

These parasites consume metals and feed off of energy that they consume from it's breakdown. They are also capable of feeding from raw plasma.

As a New Year's Party was underway on the Promenade, the Spoilers escaped their holding bin and began to ingest critical components of the starbase's power distribution system. This resulted in a cascade failure that plunged the starbase into complete power failure.

When inhabitants of the starbase realized that the back up systems were not coming on-line they [[riot]]ed. Several members of the ship's crew along with members of the crew serving aboard the [[USS Boudicca]], were celebrating at [[The County Cork]] during the incident.

When riots broke out, they were forced to defend themselves as well as attempt to restore orders and emergency services.

Over the course of the next twenty-four hours, crews from both starships worked in concert to provide services, repairs and power to the starbase. Eventually, several methods were devised to deal with the infestation. Over the following weeks repairs to the starbase were conducted.

After the incident Ahmed was asked and accepted the honor of marrying his long-time friend [[Thomas Jackson]] to [[Dahlia Jackson]] a woman that he had married earlier by [[Ferengi]] contract. The marriage was a formality to honor Jackson's [[human]] heritage. The ceremony took place at [[Rothal Chapel]] aboard [[Starbase 989]].
