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 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.

His investigation took him to [[Jefferies Tubes|Jefferies Tube]] Beta to a problematic [[Plasma Distribution Manifold System|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.

Hundreds were injured in the crush, property destroyed by looters and vandals and complete chaos reigned.  It was the first [[Riot]] that many of the crew had ever seen.

Mixed up in this world gone mad, Starfleet personnel from both [[starship]]s struggled to report to their vessel or to lend aid as they could. With communications on the station out, coordination of the relief efforts fell to the [[USS Boudicca]] and the [[USS Rosenante]], both of which [[File:UFS-Security.png|thumb|left|200px|The Duty Patch of Starfleet Security Forces worn during Riot Control]]had been affected by the sudden loss of power themselves. The two starships had transferred their power systems into standby mode and had been under station supplied power when the event took place.

A group of crew from the two ships found themselves embroiled in a struggle for survival against a terrified mob outside [[The County Cork]].

With the Complete station in absolute disarray, the crews of both the [[USS Rosenante]] and the [[USS Boudicca]] struggled to contain the situation sufficiently to allow the successful relief of victims of the rioting.
{{USS Rosenante Missions}}
 
Progress, however was hindered by members of both ship's crew, trapped on the starbase by the rioting, to be able to return to their ships quickly.


Both captains [[Ahmed Ibn Salid|Salid]] and [[Alan Durand|Durand]] found themselves giving orders to convert the starbase umbilicus to accept power from the two starships in order to at least partially power some of the more critical aspects of the starbase's failing systems.
[[File:Reactor.jpg|thumb|300px|right|A Federation Reactor on Starbase 989]]
[[Rank|Commander]] [[Jennifer Caskie]], [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Detron Trei]] and [[Rank|Ensign]]s [[Mike Rosenbauer]] and [[Eva Saint Jean]] made their way to the Starbase sickbay, where they linked up with the Starbase CMO [[Gena Harvey|Doctor Gena Harvey]]. Their short staff and lack of power proved a difficulty which was compounded by a distinct lack of communication, which was not rectified until the launch of a [[Communications Relay Satellite]] by the USS Rosenante's [[Thomas Jackson]].
Meanwhile [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Eian O'Neill]] and [[Rank|Ensign]] [[Jessica Signos]] the [[Security Officer|ASEC/ATAC]] for the [[USS Boudicca]] managed to make their way the Starbase's Main Engineering reactors.
Along the way, O'Neill was infested by a swarm of [[Vexarak Spoiler]]s which wrapped themselves around his [[Brain Stem]]. Once there, a small riot broke out when a group of looters and rioters attacked the reactor. During that time, Signos was shot with a dart, containing the poison [[Tetrodotoxin]] normally found in Terran [[Pufferfish]] (of the genus Takifugu, Lagocephalus, or Sphoeroides) or the [[Porcupinefish]] (of the genus Diodon).
Despite these problems they managed to maintain control until the [[Reactor]] control area could be secured by a damage control team sent by the [[USS Boudicca]] and commanded by [[Rank|Ensign]] [[Henry Jacobs]]. Later Jacobs was joined by [[Tyrone Cooper]] and a mixed command of personnel assigned to [[Starbase 989]].
Both Signos and O'Neill managed to get to sickbay and were later transferred to the Rosenante for treatment.
While all of this was underway, [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Kimiko Ichijo]] and a medical team encountered a [[barricade]] along their path to the Starbase Sickbay, where they were headed to aid in medical relief.
Caskie dispatched her limited security team consisting of [[Mike Rosenbauer]], [[Eva Saint Jean]] and [[Detron Trei]] to aid the medical team by attacking the barricade from behind.
Meanwhile [[Medical Officer|Doctor]] [[Basil Candle]] and his medical relief team found themselves under constant observation by station inhabitants and under threat of attack. Their route into the station was blocked more than once my malfunctioning doors, barricades and looting mobs.
Back at the ships, [[Rank|Ensign]] [[Anton Gesar]] and [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Steven Wade Matrix|Steven Matrix]] worked furiously to maximize the power output of the two starships as well as diagnose the extent of the damage done to the station.
==Is there a Doctor in the House?==
[[File:Sickbay.jpg|thumb|300px|left|A biobed located in the Main Sickbay of Starbase 989]]
Aboard the [[USS Rosenante]], Doctor [[Emily Post]] managed to extract the [[Vexarak Spoiler]]s  from [[Eian O'Neill|Eian O'Neill's]] brain through the creative use of isolinear tags and a [[transporter]]. Each time that she attempted to remove the creatures through surgical means they had threatened Eian's life.
Another success story was that [[Jessica Signos]] had finally been purged of the deadly toxin that had threatened to claim her life. The two officers were released back to duty.
The specimens of the parasitic spoilers was ordered sent to the Science lab, where [[Rank|Ensign]] [[Narvak]], a member of the Rosenante's science crew was ordered to try to identify the creatures and to find a way to kill or remove them from a living host without causing the host injury.
== The SS Tranquility==
A piece of good news arrived in the form of the [[SS Tranquility]] a privately owned and operated starship commanded by [[Chance Raschen]]. Raschen recently recovered from his battle with the [[Irlixian]]s had been ordered to convey critical equipment to both the [[USS Boudicca]] and the [[USS Rosenante]].
==Eureka!==
With both the [[USS Boudicca]] and the [[USS Rosenante]] pumping power through the umbilicus connection back into [[Starbase 989]], things were rapidly improving.
[[File:Umbilicus connection.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The Umbilicus connection on the Starbase after reinforcement]]
In the Starbase's [[Engineering]] section engineering teams including [[Steven Wade Matrix|Steve Matrix]], [[Tyrone Cooper]] and [[Henry Jacobs]] managed to isolate the infestation through the use of [[Force Field]]s. This allowed the engineers to begin focusing on the restoration of the most critical areas of the station's damaged power distribution system.
Meanwhile back on the Rosenante, [[Rank|Ensign]] [[Narvak]] developed a technique to destroy the [[Vexarak Spoiler]]s using [[Wilson Particles]] to cause the creatures to explode.
[[Anton Gesar]] and [[Henry Jacobs]], members of the Boudicca [[engineering]] crew were assigned to develop a means to deploy the Wilson Particles through the station.
In direct opposition to the solution was [[Rank|Ensign]] [[Andrew Elliot Maddox|Maddox]] the acting [[Science Officer|ACSO]] on the [[USS Rosenante]]. [[Rank|Captain]] [[Ahmed Ibn Salid|Salid]] gave him two hours to develop an alternate means of dealing with the infestation. Maddox developed a specialized enzyme that prevented the creature from metabolizing the energy that they required for survival. The end result was rapid immobilization and eventual starvation of the creature. Due to resource constraints and time considerations, Salid decided upon a mix of the two methods to make quick work of the infestation. For those areas that were heavily populated, Maddox's methods would be implemented, for the isolated areas in engineering, Narvak's concept would be employed.
Between the two, the infestation was destroyed, saving the Starbase, although the [[Moarvol]] suffered catastrophic damage and could not be repaired to a serviceable state.
Meanwhile, no word was heard from [[Medical Officer|Doctor]] [[Sam Lopez]], who disappeared shortly after the events crippled the starbase.
As security teams enforced order on the starbase, the combined Rosenante and Boudicca crews ended the threat once and for all.
