Mission Summary
Through much toiling and several command mistakes, the New Far Florence system has been destroyed. The field team collected a live Clock Maker sample and safely stored it within the USS Phantom's warp core, but at great cost. Many lives were lost, including that of Captain Jeanette Armitage who first battled the Clock Maker scourge and alerted Memory Theta of their return. Due to alerting the Clock Makers to their presence and allowing an unexpected invasion of the computer system, the field team's leader, Commander Mrazak, was held responsible for the failure of the Red Matter device to destroy the Clock Maker swarm, which required a last-ditch sacrifice by Captain Armitage and a Marine squad to overclock the warp field of a derelict vessel next to New Far Florence's star. The resultant supernova will not be detected by conventional sensors for some years, but probes left behind have confirmed the desired obliteration. By mission's end, the surviving field team received promotions from the Memory Theta administrator, Commander Akiva ben-Avram, since the Federation can never know of the team's brave feats and sacrifices. The lone exception was Commander Mrazak who stands charged with malfeasance, dereliction of duty, and conduct unbecoming of an officer. The Article 15 investigation is forthcoming.
