Camp Qapla' : The Great Khitomer Challenge!

A race against time, to survive is to win.

Mission Description

You’ve just arrived on Khitomer, as the shimmer of the transporter beam dissolves around you. The air is warm, and thick with the smell of conifer trees, as a breeze flows over the tall grass of the field you’ve landed in. Across the clearing, a group of Klingon warriors stand laughing and pointing at you and those around you. One of them crosses the field and hands someone in your group a crude leather bag. Within it you find a spool of rope, a compass, a flint and steel, and a hatchet. He points to the top of a mountain peak in the distance. “Your goal is to make it there before we do, and bring back your opponent’s flag,” he grunts, then turns his back on the group and walks back across the field. From behind the trees somewhere, a horn sounds, and the Klingons immediately begin running for the forest’s edge.

Tanna watched the Klingons disappear into the trees. She stood with her face to the sky and her eyes closed, wondering vaguely why she had decided to put her name down on that signup sheet. After a moment, she exhaled deeply, then turned to the person holding the bag. “What did they give [...]

The smell of tooled leather met her nose as Captain Jaya Thorne stood holding the bag that was shoved into her hands, watching the Klingons rush towards the trees. She took a deep breath of the fresh, boreal air, then turned to the group she was with, and asked, “Who knows how to start a [...]
