Argent Moon: Difference between revisions

In [[2557]], some personnel aboard the station created and experimented with [[Asteroidea]], an unsanctioned [[biological weapon]] that remained dormant and asymptomatic as it spread through a population before it was activated by an otherwise harmless aerosol dispersal;<ref name="universe"/> all test formulas were tested on live [[Kig-Yar]] subjects. There were also [[Creatures aboard Argent Moon|unknown, misshapen creatures]] detained in the laboratory's tanks. In [[2557#March|March 2557]],<ref name="Blue Team"/> an accident caused a particularly aggressive form of the biological agent<ref name="universe"/> to vaporize and spread throughout the station via its air systems, killing nearly all aboard. Those closer to the accident were killed instantly and, depending on distance from the accident, the rest of the vessel's personnel began suffering symptoms from the chemical minutes or hours later. Although shipboard [[smart AI]] [[Rooker]] attempted to enforce quarantine protocols, they "massively" failed and all personnel aboard ''Argent Moon'' were dead by [[2557#March|March 17, 2557]]. As a result, ONI lost contact with ''Argent Moon'' and Rooker sent a message that warned any ONI personnel who board the station of the situation. Rooker then took further actions to quarantine the vessel; he put ''Argent Moon'' on a course that kept it away from all inhabited systems and jettisoned what remains he could into open space. On [[2557#September|September 12, 2557]], Rooker was now suffering from [[rampancy]] due to being six months past his "expiration date". Feeling he could no longer manage the vessel, he initiated his own destruction.<ref name="Blue Team"/>
