Mole Part 2

Flight Officer's Log

Captain Koyanagi opened up negotiations with the Minnerites via Silon acting as a medium. Lt. Maniersi scanned some Marines to make sure they were clear of Minnerite control and they deployed to sweep Engineering and the Computer Core free of compromised crew. After a couple fierce phasor battles, control was reestablished and computer command functions were reestablished. Two additional Cardassian ships showed up and the USS Niven enacted a plan to begin transporting the orbital defense platforms to Pluhh 7 along with the colonists. Commander Devin West was sent down along with a security team to interface with the colony administrator Fo Axom, as well as to investigate the building that was the origin of the odd transmission that Maniersi detected. After some sleuthing, a brief firefight and last-minute computer wizarding, a Cardassian plot to disable Pluuh 2's orbital defenses as well as manufacture evidence of the solar instability was thwarted. The colony was settled back to normal and the remainder of the Minnerites were retrieved from the weak-gravity interferon emitter and resettled onto an asteroid well off any spacelanes.
