Commander, there has been a development with the unusual creatures that have been causing disruption to our research in the area.

We’ve taken to calling them the Ethereals. Navigation through the surrounding region has been fraught with peril, with more and more ships suffering major damage.

Renowned medical scientist Doctor Jane Lippett has been studying indigenous flora in the Eronia system, but her ship and landing pod have been affected. Comms have gone dark in the last few hours.

Who goes there? Please… please tell me you’re with Starfleet? I can’t take another surprise…

Affirmative. Starfleet asked us to check in on you and assist where necessary. You had an encounter with the Ethereals?

Oh, thank heavens… My lab has been torn to pieces. I saw those creatures in the air around me. My assistant has locked himself down on the lower level of our outpost.

Frankly, the research here may be fascinating, but it’s not worth the trouble we’ve been facing. We’re barely able to sleep, and our equipment is constantly malfunctioning…

The creature has fled. Doctor Lippett, your actions have directly prevented us from reaching a peaceful resolution with the Ethereals.

And you have fired on my ship, destroying my weapons array! How dare you?

Commander, we will detain Doctor Lippett and treat any injuries she may have sustained. The Ethereals have clearly affected her reasoning. This is so unlike her…

She exhibited emotional instability from the moment we met her. The Ethereals may very well be attempting to manipulate her or scare her away from her research.

Dialogue
Yes… Agreed. Our mission status in this system may well change as a result of all of this. I believe that Starfleet Command may want us to focus more on true First Contact with the Ethereals instead.

That would be prudent. All of your other initiatives are destined to fail if you cannot, as you might say yourself, “get along” with the aliens.

Commander, am I glad to see you back so soon! We’ve had multiple sightings of Ethereal creatures. They appear to have affected the crews of local ships. Are you and your crew affected?

Indeed. The locals have turned on us, blaming us for their technical issues. I think the Ethereals have found a way to turn us against each other.
