He called the crew to the briefing room, ready to discuss the next steps.
“We’ve got our people safe, but we’re not out of the woods yet,” Spacedawg began, his voice steady but urgent. “The medical team needs to check everyone over. After that, we’ll figure out what went wrong on that planet.”
The Alchemist led the medical evaluations, meticulously scanning each colonist. Dr. Ava Reid sat on the examination table, a worried look in her eyes as the Alchemist ran his instruments over her.
“Anything unusual, Doctor?” the Alchemist asked, noting her elevated heart rate.
“A few of us have been experiencing strange symptoms,” Ava admitted. “Headaches, dizziness… I thought it was just the stress.”
“Could be environmental factors on that rogue planet,” the Alchemist mused. “We’ll need to dig deeper.”
In the debriefing room, Renée Lachapelle
Inspector Renée Lachapelle is a distinguished officer who currently heads the joint anti-crime task force between the local Constabulary and the Royal Canadian Space Cavalry (RCSC) on Montreal Prime. Renowned for her sharp investigative skills and unwavering commitment, Lachapelle plays a pivotal role in maintaining law and order in the Quebec Sector of the Canadian Expanse. Early Life and Background... started the interviews. Dr. Reid and key members of the colony recounted the events leading up to their predicament.
“It was like the planet just… slipped out of its orbit,” Dr. Reid explained. “We followed all the protocols. Everything was stable until it wasn’t.”
“Could it have been sabotage?” Renée probed, her gaze sharp.
“We can’t rule it out,” Dr. Reid replied. “But there were no signs. It was as if the planet itself turned against us.”
The crew decided to send a scouting team back to the rogue planet. J.J. SmithJohn Jacob Smith is a seasoned police officer from Georgetown, known for his bravery and unique involvement in managing time anomalies. He has become a pivotal figure in handling temporal disturbances, working undercover as Agent 93 for a secretive organization tasked with protecting the temporal integrity of his environment.

The descent was rough, the planet’s erratic atmosphere battering their shuttle.
Once on the surface, they encountered hostile wildlife and environmental hazards that made navigation treacherous. J.J. led the team through the ruins of the colony, his eyes scanning for any useful equipment or data.

“Keep your eyes peeled,” J.J. warned. “We might not be alone.”
Back on the Mandoleer’s Folly, the Alchemist and the engineering team pored over the data the scouting team transmitted. The readings showed anomalies in the terraforming technology, suggesting a destabilization that shouldn’t have happened.
“Could be an external influence,” the Alchemist speculated. “Something we missed in the initial analysis.”
As the crew gathered to discuss their findings, they knew they had to report back to RCSC headquarters. Spacedawg ensured the colonists were comfortable, integrating them into the ship’s routine while planning their next move.
“Captain,” Renée called out, holding a message pad. “We’ve got a new development. An urgent message from headquarters.”
Spacedawg took the pad, reading the lines quickly. His expression hardened as he looked up at his crew.
“Looks like we’ve got another mission,” he said. “Gear up, folks. We’re not done yet.”
The crew of the Mandoleer’s Folly braced themselves, ready to face whatever came next.
