LCARS Database Report - USS Theurgy NX-79854
- 24th of January: Stardate 57442.04. The Theurgy managed to shake of pursuit from Task Force Archeron in the Borderlands after having been chased for 2 months.
- They found an uncharted M-Class planet in the Mahéwa System and settled into orbit in order to replenish supplies and repair the ship.
- Two crewmembers - ThanIda zh'Wann and Cir'Cie - were contaminated by flora on the planet, and caused an outbreak of the Niga virus, named after the planet.
- At the behest of the plants, the minds of the infected were intent of interplanetary pollination – the spreading of the infectious flora. The parasitic pollen propagated itself within the infected - spreading itself through bodily fluids to new victims. The main symptoms of the intoxication were suppression of all sexual inhibitions and a rising urge to copulate with as many others possible.
- The virus almost took over the whole crew, since the Ship AI’s surveillance sensors had a programming flaw of non-disclosure - making her unable to report sexual activities of the crew - but the outbreak was halted by the timeship USS Relativity. The ship brought the antidote that Doctor Nicander developed before he was infected back to the past and stopped the outbreak before it could spread through the galaxy. All memory engrams that the brain formed during the time as infected were subject to the antidote as well, which kept the infected from remembering what they'd done under the influence of the virus. This aided immensely in the recovery process.
- The USS Relativity revealed how the Infested planted the virus there specifically for the Theurgy and her crew, suggesting how the Infested were using time-travel to further their goals. Captain Ives then ordered the uninhabited planet Niga destroyed.
