With the Boudicca damaged and the [[Dracul]] still operating behind the lines against [[52nd Fleet]] ships, the command staff of the Boudicca were temporarily assigned to the [[USS Kitty Hawk]], A [[Miranda Class]] starship.

After three full days of travel, [[Eva Straton]] located a small reasonably isolated area in the [[Harvis System]] to reflect and meditate. The system consisted of a couple of small uninhabited planets and moons. However, it was also home to an [[Interdimensional Rift]] and Eva's timing couldn't have been worse. | After three full days of travel, [[Eva Straton]] located a small reasonably isolated area in the [[Harvis System]] to reflect and meditate.

Being a strong telepath, Eva began to pick up on the thoughts of the locals that had rescued her and began to believe herself to be the Anointed of Alazara. Still under the hallucinatory effects of the chemical imbalance, and having no past memories to draw upon, Eva assumed the role of the Anointed and began to gather to her an army of Iradonians to overthrown the local Duke as the leader of the planet. The army consisted of the loyal followers of the High Priestess [[Cereus]] who was the leader of the rebellion against the mysterious figure known only as the Duke. Under the guise of the Anointed, Eva began to use her telepathic powers against those that opposed her, even as she began to exhibit delusions of god-like proportions. | Being a strong telepath, Eva began to pick up on the thoughts of the locals that had rescued her and began to believe herself to be the Anointed of Alazara.

Since the male nobles, who were their enemies possessed limited telepathic powers, the appearance of a female telepath was a significant step in solidifying the power base of the Rebellion which was female leadership oriented. | ||

Meanwhile aboard the Kitty Hawk, Eva's distress signal was detected and the ship was ordered by [[rank|Captain]] [[Caladryll Sevant]] to move to assist. Upon arriving at the system, it was quickly apparent that the planet was unusual, although the exact nature of the phenomenon was indeterminate. Attempts to locate the exact location of the crashed shuttlecraft were thwarted when sensors failed to operate well enough to isolate any sign of the Federation vessel's energy signature. because of this, it was decided to deploy a rescue team who would also deploy by shuttlecraft since the [[transporter]]s could not be trusted. After some research by the science department it was determined what the locals looked like and that they were approximately equal technologically to [[Earth|Earth's]] Medieval era. The away team was equipped and cosmetically altered to allow themselves to fit in more readily with the local population. | Meanwhile aboard the Kitty Hawk, Eva's distress signal was detected and the ship was ordered by [[rank|Captain]] [[Caladryll Sevant]] to move to assist.

All that the team realized was that Straton was somewhere on the planet, but they were not aware of the situation that Eva was in.

Systems all over the shuttle began to fail unexpectedly. They were not damaged, yet somehow they simply stopped functioning. [[Matthew McLaren]], who was piloting, managed to put the shuttle down smoothly enough to prevent any serious injuries, although the roughness of the landing was enough to cause additional damage to the shuttle craft. To make matters less appealing, it was discovered that all of their personal equipment was inoperable, a result of the same energetic affect that had caused the systems on the shuttlecraft to fail. Without equipment, there was little that could be determined about the strange affect that was sapping their devices. It was quickly surmised by the engineer that the effect was most similar to an energy dampening field. | ||

Along the way they encountered a crashed wagon, which contained a chest of books as well as some gold and precious gems. As there were no signs of the owners, [[Johnathan Linskens]] decided to study some of the books in the hopes of getting a glimpse into the culture and language of the place. | ||
What he discovered immediately made the away team even more nervous. The books were written in the language of [[Iconian]], which was developed form the ancient empire centered around [[Iconia]]. It was fortunate that Linskens had accompanied the team despite some mental problems, since he was able to quickly include his studies of Iconia, and develop a working form of the local language with little difficulty. As a result Linskens became the group translator. It was then that the away team learned that the local population was known as [[Iradonian]]s. | What he discovered immediately made the away team even more nervous.

It would later be discovered that the planet in question was actually [[Iradon]]. | ||
