The bridge crew sat in silence, knowing that speaking would not help the situation. Their Captain was sitting at his post, brooding, a deep frown marring the usual smoothness of his forehead. How had they come to this point, yet again? Held at the hands of an alien race, forced to jump through hoops like striped felines in a circus. Their journey back to the Gamma Quadrant had gone without a hitch and Kealan was optimistic for the future of the Talon. The Kestrel had launched several hours ago to investigate an odd energy signal from a nearby planet while the Talon continued deeper into the quadrant. Then, without warning, the Pewdin appeared, stopping the ship in its tracks, literally, by throwing a blockade in the stream they had been travelling. It was only through the incredible skill of the officer at the helm that they had seen it in time and were able to exit without incident. Kealan's heated communication to the ship that greeted them did not go well.
Apparently, the Pewdin were upset about the war and were not about to let the Federation into "their" territory without further investigation. What they suggested next rankled the Captain. The Pewdin didn't want explanations, they needed to see for themselves the quality of the crew. So, they proposed a series of tests. If the crew passed, the ship would be allowed to pass. Kealan sent a quick message off to Starfleet, the headquarters of which now resided on Etimon until the rebuild on Earth was completed. The answer didn't take long to return, but the news wasn't good. Play along. Starfleet needed all the allies they could get in the quadrant, especially after the Therys Coalition turned out to have less than noble ambitions.
Kealan looked over the list of tests and gave a short, inaudible exhalation of frustration before sending a message to the department heads. "Get @branon up here," he said to no one in particular after the messages were sent.*. In the interest of cooperation, several of the Pewdin had been allowed to tour the ship with security escort and thus far they have been behaving themselves.** As Kealan stared at the viewscreen that showed the Pewdin vessel, he waited for the tests to begin. The Pewdin**** would allow him to witness all that was to happen, but he would be prohibited from communicating with those members of the crew while they were undergoing the tests***.
* Messages won't appear in your PM box. Just know that the Chiefs were sent a message that required them to assign members of their team to the various tests. (You won't actually do that in RP, as the admins have decided who is going where)
** NPC security. While doing so, they had met briefly @murph and @taylorwarren. These officers will soon start feeling ill, mostly dizziness, exhaustion, and will need to report to Sickbay, but only after the Sickbay thread has been established.

2 shuttles will be sent into the nearby asteroid field to collect a list of items that will be provided by the Pewdin. The engineers on board will help locate the items and augment the shields as necessary and those from logistics will collect the items.

On a nearby planet, there is a pile of slumbering cyborg. The test is to get them operational again, requiring both medical and biological knowledge, as well as engineering. [Lieutenant Robin Star] will pilot the shuttle, @yolanda and @sig will work on the medical/science aspects, while @diran will keep an eye out for trouble. @zi will provide engineering expertise.

The Pewdin, during their tour, had put multiple explosive devices in Engineering. 2 teams will work to defuse them. They quickly discover that as one team defuses their bomb, it makes the other ones grow stronger and the countdown faster.

On the Pewdin ship, this team will be undergoing a simulation against an unmanned alien craft which will turn into 2 ships when hit with conventional phaser or torpedo fire (or energy based weapon).

Before the Talon encountered the Pewdin, the Kestrel departed with the following crew:
Ensign Tekison Nevir, Nathan Landry, Tahp, @jonathanrichards,[@henri], Kinin, Lt. Commander Alyssa Jenison Upon arrival, they were all captured and put on display for the populace, zoo style, for all to see along a busy street.
