The Moarvol unloaded it's infested ore in bulk holding dock number sixty-three sigma, where it was scheduled to be processed within four days. Little did the station personnel or anyone else know that four days was far too long to allow for the effective decontamination of the threat posed by the spoilers. | The Moarvol unloaded it's infested ore in bulk holding dock number sixty-three sigma, where it was scheduled to be processed within four days.

==The New Year's Eve Party== | |||
The largest single celebration of the year aboard [[Starbase 989]] on her Promenade. A significant number of station's personnel, visitors and ship crews began to gather for the pre-drop celebration of a replica of the [[Manhattan Ball Drop]]. | |||
Three establishments, [[RJs]], [[The County Cork]] and [[Braak's Bar]] sponsored a more private party in the area immediately surrounding their establishments. The area was cordoned off by mobile security [[Force Field]]s borrowed from the station's security Chief [[rank|Lieutenant]] [[Adraa Mosul]]. They were guarded by [[Nausicaan]], [[Human]], and [[Orion]] bodyguards. | |||
There was a 100 credit charge to gain entry, but inside there was live music, food, drink and gambling. In addition, the location was optimal for observing the drop. | |||
The Party began for the majority of the crew at the County Cork where Irish Ballads, jigs and drinking ensued. Members of the two starship crews mingled and shared conversation and stories throughout the evening in the gathering anticipation of the event. | |||
The ball fell at exactly MIdnight and was greeted with a massive applause, cheering and a few stolen kisses among friends and casual acquaintances. | |||

Not long after the New Year's celebration kicked off in earnest, Crewman [[Martin Kosinsky]], manning an engineering station in the Reactor Control room on [[Starbase 989]] began to notice an unusual power flux in the industrial section of the station, somewhere near Deck three. | Not long after the New Year's celebration kicked off in earnest, Crewman [[Martin Kosinsky]], manning an engineering station in the [[Reactor Control]] room on [[Starbase 989]] began to notice an unusual power flux in the industrial section of the station, somewhere near Deck three. | ||
After reporting the incident to his duty chief, he was ordered to investigate the situation. Neither he nor the chief realized that the power flux was a direct result of the massive infestation of [[Vexarak Spoiler]]s that had finally managed to burrow their way from their temporary confinement in the bulk storage bins of 63-Sigma. | After reporting the incident to his duty chief, he was ordered to investigate the situation.

The infestation had moved into the primary power feeds and was siphoning off [[Plasma]] energy from the conduits creating not only the power flux that he had detected but also the build up of thermal energy. | The infestation had moved into the primary power feeds and was siphoning off [[Plasma]] energy from the conduits creating not only the power flux that he had detected but also the build up of thermal energy. | ||
His investigation took him to [[Jefferies Tubes|Jefferies Tube]] Beta to a problematic EPS distribution system network junction. When he discovered the access panel was hot to the touch, he removed it, releasing a mass of Spoilers. In his haste to escape them, he managed to complete the power circuit between the live conduit, channeled through the insects and his body to be completed with the wall of the access tube. | |||

The result was a sudden and devastating power spike that created a series of cascading power failures, that plunged the entire station into darkness. The critical bus was destroyed causing the secondary systems to also fail. | The result was a sudden and devastating power spike that created a series of cascading power failures, that plunged the entire station into darkness.
