[X] Plan Double Date

Tuvok arched an eyebrow. "Excellent work, Lt. Strong, Lt. C'nola."

"I don't actually have a rank," C'nola said, leaning back. "I'm not even wearing a uniform."

Lieutenant Strong, Civilian Nola.

Edit : Late thought. While the delay means that the crew of the Voyager/Maquis can fear spending a quarter of their life in space, for the Okampan crew it means that instead of seeing the Federation and having a decade to spare, they will all be dead of old age before they're even halfway.

Quest doesn't seem like it'll kill both our helmsmen so why not

Fortunately, the wave is going FTL, so it's not going to be an issue!

I will be touching on this in the quest, but I'm thinking its two things

1) They were aware of this but still wanted to explore - the urge to see the galaxy is stronger than staying in their cloying, close home - even if said home is now free.

2) Federation medical technology, employed in the service of their new expanded crew, would vastly increase their lifespans, while medtech back home is...developing.

I was wondering this also!

…and this makes a lot of sense!

The USS Voyager shot away from the ruined world - streaking off into space - while the Val Jean remained in a polar orbit, doing a slow, steady scan of the planet. Aboard the Val Jean, their equipment piled up beside them, was the chosen away team: Lt. Amy Strong, their leader, with Lt. Paris, Ensign Kim and...C'nola.

Who was just C'nola.

The equipment was, in total: Environmental suits, tricorders, phaser pistols, and medical tools, along with fully stocked transport buffers, and as Amy checked the seals on their suits, Wacoche and a few of the Okampan crew, all of them at work preparing the transporter to beam them down to the surface. Amy nodded. "Okay, we're here to look for survivors first, cultural artifacts second, resources last of all."

"Right," Harry said, tense as Amy stepped to him and began to check him over. "S-Shouldn't we-"

The USS Voyager returned - announced by their com badges chirruped.

"Away team," T'are's voice came over their communicators. "We've completed our long ranged, atemporal scans."

"Anything interesting?" C'nola asked, adjusting her phaser pistol, twiling it on her finger, then holstering it.

"Yeah. The planet was destroyed by catastrophic antimatter breach - the kind that's powerful enough to crack local spacetime a bit. But there was a warp capable ship in orbit - it was right in the way of the main mass of the ejecta. Approximately the same size as one of those Kazon ships, though Neelix says it also matches Vidiian or Trabe ships. Or Talaxian, for that matter."

Amy frowned. "Any confirmation on silhouette?"

"Too far to get more than an IR blob, sorry."

"Maybe we'll find pieces on the planet," Amy said.

"We're scanning for some, and if we detect any, we'll tell you," T'are said as Amy stepped onto the platform. Harry and Tom and C'nola followed her - and turned just in time to see the whipping orange energy of the transport swirl around them. When it was gone, they were standing in a blasted, ruined street, choked with ash and surrounded by buildings that looked as if they had been flattened by the fist of a furious god. The street was bedecked with corpses - hundreds of them, their bodies turned to ash and smeared out on the pavement. Their shadows were blasted into what little bits of walls were left over, all pointing towards a fireball on the horizon - a visible red glow from the exposed mantle, even from hundreds of kilometers away.

"Christ," Tom whispered, while Harry pulled his tricorder out. He knelt, scanning one of the bodies.

"There's barely enough here for a reconstruction," He said, quietly.

C'nola was rubbing her shoulder. Her tail, contained in a thin film by her environment suit, twitched nervously. Amy put her hand on her shoulder, then shook her head. "Where do we even begin?" C'nola asked.

"T-There are a lot of intact structures nearby. We start by scanning for any active power sources, any life signs that might have been hidden from orbit," Amy said, drawing her tricorder out.

C'nola nodded, then pulled out her tricorder as well.

Harry and Tom followed after, Tom staying close - noticing that both he and C'nola held a tricorder...and a phaser pistol.

The first building that they stepped towards was only intact because of its low construction and dense walls. Stepping inside, they could see a flickering hologram, projecting a hazy, faintly humanoid figure in a repeating pattern, a ghostly voice speaking endlessly: "-new life...-new life...-new life..." it kept saying, reaching judderingly upwards before jerking its hand back down to the original form.

"Harry, see if you can pull any data off that," Amy said, her voice firm despite the desolation around her. "C'nola..." She turned and saw that while Harry and Tom had entered, C'nola was standing at the doorway.

"...t-the bodies..." She said, quietly.

The bodies in the building - twelve visible here, and more elsewhere, surely - hadn't been vaporized. But they had still been desiccated by the heat-blast. Their shriveled, shrunken forms were curled up on the ground. C'nola was looking at a pair that were clutching around a third. The third was smaller. Amy stepped to her, then put her hand on her shoulder. "It's okay, Catra, it's all right," she whispered, her voice soft - while Harry tried to ignore the sights around him. He focused on the holographic emitter - pausing only to pass his hand through the glittering light to make sure it was just volumetric as opposed to holo/force projection. As light scattered around his fingers, he heard Amy whispering. "Do you need to head back?"

"No, no, just..." C'nola paused. "I've seen...planets die before. You know."

"Yeah..."

Harry popped the casing open with a multitool.

Tom was stepping among the bodies. He didn't touch them - just waved his tricorder over them. "These bodies have identifiying cards on them, they're intact here," he said. "Running them through the translators."

"What kind of ID - standard bureaucracy or...uh..." Amy paused.

"They're not racialized eugenic papers, I can tell that already," Tom said. "They're just...ID cards."

Amy nodded, while C'nola stepped over to Harry. Her voice was gruff. "C'mon, nerd, let me help." She knelt down next to him. Harry smiled at her, then together, they started to pull out unbelievably primitive optical computer cards.

Amy stepped towards Tom - and then gasped and vanished.

"Adora!" C'nola shouted, then sprinted towards where she had been - and then she vanished too.

"...shit," Harry said.

Please do not run into the mystery vanishing hallway without letting the ship know, this is how horror stories start.

Remember your enclosed spaces training kids: if you see someone collapse it an enclosed space, you don't climb in after them, because whatever knocked out your friend is gonna get you too.

Also, hello new plot hook:

Amy stepped towards Tom - and then gasped and vanished.

"Adora!" C'nola shouted, then sprinted towards where she had been - and then she vanished too.

Because we know the two have a history (presumably before they even entered Starfleet Academy) but at no point previously have we seen Amy referred to by this name.

This feels about right to me. Harry would act out of an impulse to help his friends - whilst Tom is a bit more experienced and cautious. It feels like a natural reaction from both, and I think that's what is being asked for - their immediate response.
