Mission Summary
In the aftermath of the USS Newton incident, Lieutenant Aev Flammia confronts a troubling development: Ignis, the adaptive AI bound to his holoband, begins exhibiting signs of heuristic drift—subtle emotional influence in what should be purely analytical responses. What starts as a technical concern deepens when Ignis’s creator, Dr. Dave Ronaldson, reveals that two other participants in the Lumeon Project have died and their holobands have disappeared.
With the technology now a target and his own role in the project under scrutiny, Aev requests personal leave from Captain Sabrina Corbin to pursue a lead tied to his past. Accompanied by Lieutenant Samantha Dawes, he travels to the long-abandoned world of Corvanis IV, expecting ruins and silence.
Instead, they find deliberate absence.
Sensor interference, altered settlements, and hidden infrastructure point to an active presence operating in the shadows. Their search leads them to a concealed Reman installation marked with Fenris Ranger symbols. Welcomed with rigid formality, Aev and Sam are disarmed and detained—and Ignis is confiscated, severing Aev from the AI in a moment that feels less like losing a device and more like losing a companion.
The confrontation that follows reveals deeper layers to Aev’s own history. The Remans speak of his parents, of Starfleet involvement long buried, and of a name tied to his past—S’Tcaevra—suggesting that both Aev and the technology he carries are part of a much older and more deliberate design.
The mission closes with Aev forced to reevaluate not only who he is, but what he represents, as the line between identity, ownership, and purpose grows increasingly fragile.
