Part of Bravo Fleet: New Frontiers

USS Atlantis - USS Republic

Those Who Stare Back

When the abyss stares out, Starfleet is there to stare back.

Mission Description

With the shroud over the Shackleton Expanse gone, new frontiers await those lucky enough to get to them first. But not all frontiers should be examined.

Deep in the Expanse, hidden by the Shroud and the time it imposed on all travellers, lay the world of Leytan III. There the crews of the starships Atlantis and Republic have been dispatched to conduct Starfleet’s first indepth survey.

But what they find, perhaps shouldn’t be found.

If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche

USS Atlantis: Those Who Stare Back

“Well, that doesn’t seem right?” It was in Gabrielle’s recollection the first non-technical related question she’d heard all day since they’d arrived at the monolith. None of their scanners seemed to be working particularly well this close to the structure, and questions abound along [...]

USS Atlantis: Those Who Stare Back

“Not to be rude,” Sidda Sadovu announced as she barged into the ready room, “but what is this?” Charles MacIntyre sighed as he looked up from the drudgery of reports before him, ready to stare daggers into his XO. But then the warm scent of fresh baking hit him as she set a small plate down [...]
