/s 1itabi approahes the ob>et* a
4hallenging BT+ 9:C System .perations
BSensorsC test will reveal the following!
5ah degree of suess Bor eah subse,uent
sanC will allow the Siene .ffier to ask
one speifi ,uestion about the ob>et<s
physial onfiguration or emissions or will
reveal one additional fat from the list
below:
The ob>et is omposed of a small
entral ore surrounded by large
rystalline petals!
There is a large aperture Ba bowl$
shaped onavityC near the
reature<s front* of unknown
purpose!
The ob>et is roughly irular*
almost F;; meters in e@treme
length and breadth* and masses >ust
under #:;*;;; tons Broughly the
same siDe a 1itabi herselfC!
The hull and outer petals and outer
shell are rystalline in omposition
and is omposed of ,uartD* various
siliates and arbon ompounds*
The outer petals also ontain
analogs of sarium and verterium
ortenide Ba omponent of
&ederation warp enginesC* and
several elements unknown to
&ederation memory banks!
The petals are emitting low level
waves of gravimetri distortion* and
appear to funtion along the lines
of starship warp oils$ allowing the
reature to maneuver at warp speed
by means of variations in the
distortions!
/ number of the petals are
damaged$ possibly by disruptor
fire$ and are working at a redued
output!
The reature<s high energy output
over a range of fre,uenies is
interfering with sans of the
interior!
4ertain ompounds in the outer
hull are either photo$ or radio$
eletri Bonverting light or hard
radiation into energy!
/s an alternative* and to speed up the
pae of the game* the G' may simply
hand the player Handout EF BSensor
/nalysisC when the test is ompleted!
The +arrator is advised to tread arefully
in his desriptions$ and avoid
unintentionally providing any lues as to
the ob>et<s true nature! 6nless and until
the haraters use the term reature or
vessel* the G' should stik to desribing
it as an ob>et! .therwise* he or she
might inadvertently steer the heroes to a
onlusion and ourse of ation! /fter the
heroes have reahed their onlusions* the
+arrator should arefully mirror the
players< hoie of term* for the same
reasons$ allowing the heroes to ome to
their own onlusions Bright or wrongC
without interferene!
/s 1itabi approahes the ob>et Bmoving
into medium rangeC* the ob>et will san
the starship and then alter ourse to avoid
her! The reature will emit a single low$
level subspae transmission as soon as it
alters ourse! / Simple BT+ :C System
.peration B4ommuniationsC test will
reveal that the transmission ontains a low$
density data pattern* but it is not
immediately deipherable! The 6niversal
Translator will have to hew on it!
5mpathy or Telepathy tests will reveal
nothing e@ept a single presene$
e@tremely alien in thought and proess!
The mind is simply too alien and perhaps
too primitive to disern muh more! 'ind
'eld tests are not possible beause of the
range and beause of the alien nature of
the intellet!
/ 4hallenging BT+ 9:C System
.perations BHelmC test Bbonuses from
&ighting 4aptain and DogfighterC will allow
the heroes to attempt to herd the ob>et off$
ourse* but in every event* the ob>et will
attempt to return to its base ourse towards
the 5vangeline 4olony! "f the heroes
attempt to herd the reature* it will respond
with two more transmissions idential to
the first* then ome to a dead stop! "t will
3
wait for up to a half hour and then attempt
to resume its base ourse!
"f at any point* 1itabi rosses into short
range* the ob>et will respond with a single
terse transmission* wait two beats* then
open fire before retreating Band attempting
to return to it<s base ourseC!
.ne hostilities have been initiated$
whether by 1itabi or by the reature itself*
no further warnings will be issued$ the
reature will simply open fire anytime
1itabi rosses into medium range!
The ob>et<s primary Band onlyC weapon
does % points of damage* may be fired
twie in one round* and flatly ignores #
points of Threshold Bessentially utting
straight through the starship<s shieldsC! /
Simple BT+ FC "ntellet test will allow any
observer on the bridge to determine that
1itabi<s shields are only partially effetive
against the ob>et<s weapon! /
4hallenging BT+ 9:C (hysial Siene*
Spae Siene* or Systems 5ngineering$
)eapons test will reveal that the ob>et is
emitting a foused gravimetri0spatial
distortion beam$ essentially a needle of
subspae0gravimetri energy! 1itabi<s
defenses an be modified to handle the
weapon* but it will take time!
The attak will ease as soon as the
range opens to medium or longer! The
reature will then attempt to return to its
base ourse at the same speed B)arp #C!
So long as 1itabi stays outside short range
and does not interfere with its attempts to
reah 5vangeline* the reature will ignore
them!
Decoding the Riddle
The ob>et<s transmissions are e@tremely
alien* and the 6niversal Translator will take
time$ likely hours or days$ to deipher its
meaning! This should be treated as an
5@tended BT+ :;C test* Soial Siene$
Genolinguistis or /nthropology test with
eah roll aounting for one hour<s work!
.ne the test has been ompleted* the
6niversal Translator will report that the
transmission appears to be a basi
ommuniation$ essentially Stay ?ak*
but that it has an insuffiient sample to
determine whether the reature is sentient
or not!

Repairs and Modifications
.ne the preise nature of the enemy
weapon is determined* 1itabi<s shields an
be modified to defend against it! (artial
modifiations Bsoftware onlyC will take less
time* but provide only partial protetion!
'ore omplete modifiations will take
muh longer and will involve physially
modifying 1itabi<s defletor arrays!
"n either event* 1itabi<s shields will be at
minimum power BF;JC while the
modifiations are underway! (rudene and
safety advise that the modifiations are best
made in a sheltered environment Bsuh as
planetary orbitC! /t warp #* the reature
will take another 9%3 hours to reah
5vangeline! 1itabi an be there in >ust over
two$and$a$half hours at )arp 7!
The modifiations re,uire an 5@tended
T+ :; System 5ngineering BDefletorsC test!
The short$term0software modifiations have
a period of ten minutes per roll* and ut
the amount of Threshold the weapon
ignores to 9! The full modifiations have a
period of F; minutes per roll and redue
the amount of Threshold ignored to Dero!
Evangeline
'aking orbit should be uneventful
Bespeially if the 1itabi has troubled to
announe their arrival ahead of timeC!
"f the rew radioed ahead* they are met *
by /dministrator 5sobar* and given a brief
tour of 'adsen<s =anding! /dministrator
5sobar is small* thin* and dark* with
obvious Hispani roots and aent! His
eyes are dark and lively* and he seems
bursting with nervous energy!
The town itself is young* thriving* and
learly robust! "t is learly a working town
on the edge of the frontier* but it is
nonetheless lean and well$organiDed!
5sobar will take the haraters to his
offies* ply them with brandy* then ask
what he an do for them! 5sobar will
learly +.T be pleased with word of an
alien ob>et bearing down on his olony*
and will bring in three other men$
4
Sandhurst* Grant* and Stone$ to onsult!
/dam Sandhurst is the town<s dotor0
medial offier Band doubles as the loal
meteorologistC! He stands >ust under si@
feet tall* is middle$aged and suffering from
middle aged spread* though the hard
work of the olony has kept him from
spreading too muh! Sandhurst is
passionate and lively$ prone to franti
gestures! He is the first to demand Bloud
and longC that 1itabi destroy the intruder*
and thanks to his harm Band despite his
some freneti behaviorC is able to make
some headway swaying his fellow olonists
to his view!
?ill don<t all me )illiam Grant is the
town<s engineer and hydrologist! Grant is
tall* fit* tanned* and weathered! Grant<s
hair is thinning in top* a fat more
emphasiDed than onealed by his thin
omb$over! His hands show him to be a
man austomed to hard work!
Kuentin Stone is the town<s hief
agronomist* handles seurity for the
olony* and doubles as ommuniations
offier* shuttle pilot* and general >ak$of$
all$trades! )hereas the other three men
are e@ited and e@itable* Stone is alm*
thinking* and almost dour! / dark man of
physial and intelletual power* Stone
reminds many people of Dotor Rihard
Daystrom in his prime! Though his
strength is tempered by an inherently
gentle demeanor* few trifle with the man*
and fewer still repeat that mistake!
&aed with the impending arrival of the
alien* 5sobar and Grant flutuate
agitatedly between demanding to know
what the &ederation is going to do to
protet them and Bspurred by SandhurstC
that Starfleet destroy the thing immediately!
Stone* on the other hand* is more
thoughtful$ wondering what the ob>et
might want with 5vangeline! The planet
has no resoures* no wealth* no real
tehnology to speak of! The olony is
suffiiently distant from the 1lingon border
and all ma>or trade routes as to be a
tatial and strategi non$entity! There are
no arhaeologial ruins* no subspae
anomalies* no alien iviliDations anywhere
nearby who might take an interest in the
olony$ nothing!
6nless the players speifially ask for a
profile from their omputers* they should
not reeive Handout E3 B5vangeline
SurveyC! +onetheless* the four men
arrayed in front of them will know nearly
all of the partiulars!
"f asked* the loals will protest that
5vangeline is unremarkable in nearly every
respet! Stone will point out the only two
anomalies that ome to mind The first is
the bowl$pits* the seond* the
e@tintions!
The bowl$pits are a series of broad*
shallow hollows in the planet<s rust! 5ah
runs roughly 9;; meters aross and :;$%;
meters deep* atop a thermal vent$ usually a
dormant one! The siene teams who
originally 5vangeline """ thought they might
be the remnants of an earlier* more
geologially ative period when the hot
springs were muh hotter and more
dynami! /t least a hundred have been
found within a thousand miles of 'adsen<s
=anding! Stone has personally surveyed at
least a doDen of them!
)hen Stone mentions the e@tintions*
the other three men will roll their eyes$
Sandhurst in partiular! Stone will arry on
doggedly$ his analysis of the areas
surrounding 'adsen<s =anding Band
supported by evidene gathered by others
at the other four settlementC suggests that
5vangeline """ has suffered a mass die$off of
plant and animal life roughly every five
hundred! His data is skethy* but
radiometri dating suggests that the largest
die$off may have wiped out up to %;J of
the plant and animal life on the surfae!
"n response* 5sobar and Sandhurst will
point out that Stone himself has admitted
that these appear to be loal phenomenon*
not global* and that eah of the areas
shows signs of hemial poisoning
onsistent with arbon mono@ide* and
sulfur dio@ide$ onsistent with large$sale
volani eruptions! Grant will also remind
Stone that eah of the areas he<s
surveyed has had a history of tetoni
and volani ativity$ whih supports the
5
others< laims!
'ore damning* as 5sobar points out* is
the fat that these are purely loal
phenomenon* and don<t e@plain why an
alien vessel or ob>et would be interested
in 5vangeline!

Tell Tales and Cles
6nless they have something better to do*
Stone will insist on taking the 1itabi away$
team on a visit to one of the bowl$pits!
6nless they insist on beaming* he<ll
transport them via his shuttle* a short trip*
but an e@iting one as Stone flies like a
madman$ too fast*too low*and too abrupt in
his maneuvers* but utterly in ontrol!
Stone e@plains that he seleted this
partiular bowl as it is the most sharply
defined and leanest he<s disovered!
Aust before landing the shuttle* Stone will
orbit the site twie to give the heroes a feel
for the landsape! /s advertised* the rater
is bowl$shaped depression 9;; m aross
and perhaps %;m deep! The sides are
heavily shadowed* and the vegetation
surrounding this pit is largely hardy grass
and srub$ few trees an be seen for
several miles surrounding the pit* and
water seems to have olleted in the very
bottom!
The perimeter and sides of the bowl are
lined with mineral rystals Binluding
shards of obsidian and natural glassC*
hemial salts* and trae metals! Sides of
the bowl are eroded and settled and onsist
largely of loose sand and shale! Stone will
omment that the other bowls he<s
disovered have all been more weathered*
and more settled than this one* and far
more overgrown!
The footing is treaherous$ players
desending into the bowl without limbing
gear risk a fall and possible in>ury! /
Routine BT+ 9;C /thletis test will take
them to the bottom* those who fail and fall
suffer 9d% points of damage! 4limbing
gear grants a Lirumstane F bonus to the
test!
The small pool of water at the bottom is
hot* foul$smelling and foul$tasting$ and a
warm mist rises from it* lingering in the
faint breeDe! / triorder san Beither a
Routine BT+ 9;C (lanetary Siene

being heated by a nearly dormant thermal
vent!

traes of sarium and verterium ortenide

reveals that these trae ompositions have
been leehed through the soil from muh
larger deposits! "n short* the bowl$pit
e@ists in what was one a large deposit of
verterium ortenide Bor its omponent

Co!paring Notes
)ith all of this new data in hand* the
heroes meet bak at 'adsen<s =anding
with the town fathers! There are several
issues at hand!
&irst and foremost* irumstantial
evidene indiates that 5vangeline """ is the
reature<s natural breeding grounds$
&ederation law suggests that the reature
has priority here* Band as the olonists are
tehnially s,uattersC may well re,uire
that the olonies be evauated* if
neessary* to protet the speies! The
problem with this solution is that there
simply isn<t time or room to evauate the
entire olony Bnor are they willing to goC
before the reature arrives! /ll three
starships$ the 1itabi* ?randywine* and
=e@ington* have the apaity to arry
everyone away* but the latter two starships
won<t be on$sene for at least another eight
days!
The 6niversal Translator has onfirmed
that the reature<s transmission was indeed
a ommuniation$ though it has insuffiient
data to determine whether or not the
reature is truly sentient or not! "f the
reature is sentient* then (rime Diretive
definitely applies!
.n the other hand* the same
irumstantial evidene that gives the
reature first dibs on 5vangeline """ also
indiates that the reature Band any fellowsC
represents a lear and present danger to the
welfare of the olony$ and the humanoid
population of 5vangeline are &ederation
itiDens deserving of protetion by
Starfleet!
/s it beomes lear that the reature<s
nesting habits reate widespread and long$
term eologial damage* Sandhurst*
5sobar* and Grant beome more and
more paniked$ this reature* innoent or
not$ has the potential of wiping out the
entire olony and killing every man*
woman* and hild on the planet unless
lear and deisive ation is taken! 5ven
Stone has to agree that the reature
represents a serious threat* though he is far
more sanguine about the ations that must
be taken!
1itabi has a lear duty to protet life and
rights Bif anyC of the reature* and at the
same time to protet the rights and lives of
the &ederation itiDens on 5vangeline """!
The other onsideration the players will
fae is is that this isn<t a one$time problem$
in theory* at least* the reature will be
returning every five hundred years or so!
/ny deisions made now will profoundly
affet the long$term future of both the
speies and of the &ederation olony!
Destroying the reature in order to
protet the olony on 5vangeline """ may
very likely be onstrued as a violation of
the (rime Diretive$ blatant interferene in

off* she must destroy it in order to protet
the olony! "n either ase* the starship will
have to deal with the alien in order to save
the olony!

The (rime Diretive
The &ederation<s (rime Diretive* or Starfleet
General .rder E9 was enated to protet
developing Bless tehnially advanedC soieties
from ontamination! The (rime Diretive
e@pressly prohibits any Starfleet personnel or
spaeraft from interfering in the normal
development of any soiety$ even at the ost of the
ship and her rew* if neessary!
The rule was adopted$ and its wisdom proven$ by
several disastrous first ontats between &ederation
personnel and alien raes unprepared to deal with
the ulture shok! The two greatest e@amples of a
disastrous first ontat are* of ourse* Sigma "otia
and the 5kosians and Heons of '3F /lpha!
"n ##%:* &ederation 4ultural .bserver Band noted
historianC Aohn Gill abandoned the (rime Diretive
and began making alulated hanges to 5kosian
soiety in an effort to unify the natives in a more
effiient and effetive entral planetary government!
Though his motives were pure* Gill<s intervention
proved disastrous! "n order to unify the people*
Gill patterned his nasent utopia on the Dealotry
and strong nationalisti tendenies of #;
th
entury
+ational Soialism$ other wise known as the +aDi
movement!
Gill<s plan was to temper the strong militarism of
the +aDi movement with ompassionate priniples
and humane poliies$ but failed utterly when those
losest to him were orrupted by the lure of power!
/n ambitious underling named 'elakon drugged
Gill* propped him up as a figurehead* and then
subverted the movement! 'elakon and hanged
the 5kosian movement from one loosely patterned
on +ational Soialism to a horrifi rereation of its
basest evils$ inluding the misguided notions of
raial and geneti purity* and wars of genoidal
aggression!
.nly the timely intervention of the 6!S!S!
5nterprise in ##%2 prevented interplanetary war
between 5kos and neighboring Heon$ though a
great many lives were lost before Gill was able to
renoune the evil his e@periment had beome!
The 6!S!S! HoriDon visited Sigma "otia "" in #9%2
and found a relatively peaeful* ,uiet world in the
middle stages of an industrial revolution! )hen
the HoriDon departed* a rew member aidentally
left behind a book alled 4hiago 'obs of the
Twenties!
The "otians then attempted to use the book as a
road map to lead their soiety into spae* and re$
patterned their soiety on its e@ample$ with a
orresponding breakdown in government and
soiety! Huge swaths of native ulture* pratie*
and ustom were abandoned in favor of the
e@ample left behind by the HoriDon* with the
orresponding loss of life!
)hen the 5nterprise visited in ##%2* 4aptain 1irk
was fored to resort to a lesser violation of
the (rime Diretive in order to steer the
planet bak towards a more ethial and soially
healthy ourse!
There have been at least eleven other notable
Band ,uestionableC violations of the (rime
Diretive$ a surprising number of whih involve
starships named 5nterprise!
The (rime Diretive is one of Starfleet<s simplest
and most straightforward diretives$ but one of the
hardest to ad>udiate and enfore! )hile the law

her rew are e@pendable if neessary to uphold the
(rime Diretive* the law is not so lear
Bontraditory ases have been madeC about whether
&ederation ivilians are likewise bound!
"n #F%3* the survivors of the S!S! .din violated the

fored to leave! .n the other hand* when 4ultural
.bserver +ikolai RoDhenko was slated to be
proseuted for violating the (rime Diretive in #F7;*
he hose a virtual self$e@ile instead!
The basi thrust* of ourse* is that for the best of
