You chose "mystery with romance"

You and Captain Lek rush towards the source of the noise. However, you quickly fall behind the other. It is just one thing after the other, isn't it?

By the time you reach Captain Lek, everyone is gathered around a pile of containers. Some are tossed haphazardly around on the ground, they must have fallen off the pile. Clearly this was the source of the noise.

"Someone must've bumped into them?" You say, more as a question. Because the boxes look big, and you actually know from experience that they're heavy. Your crew delivered a few shipments of these boxes recently, it was one of the rushed important orders you had to complete.

Normally, you know exactly what you're delivering, but these strange light blue boxes with some words plastered on the front in a language you don't recognize are unknown to you. In between all the other orders you had to do and your First Officer passing out suddenly, you just honestly didn't have the time to check. All you know for sure is that moving them was a pain, and accidently knocking them over is an unlikely scenario.

Looking around, however, shows crewmembers investigating the boxes. It doesn't seem like anyone's owning up to being the one responsible for the mess. Maybe whoever did it got startled and ran off? You really hope it wasn't a member of your crew who did so.

You glance over at Captain Lek who is staring intensely at the boxes. "Indeed." Huh, that was quite a bit of a pause before they responded.

You can't get a read on their facial expression, but still, you get a sense that they think something odd happened here as well.

Before you get a chance to ask anything, Captain Lek and a few other crew mates' heads snap towards the wall on your left. You follow their line of sight, but all you see is a closed door. After a moment of silence, two of the Vulcans, whose names you did not catch, go to investigate the door.

Captain Lek, however, instead of joining them, as you would've expected from the captain, gestures for you to follow them. You quietly comply. You want to ask questions, but you just feel so tired. Captain Lek must be able to tell, as they drop you off in medbay.

Medbay?

You're tired, but you don't think it's that serious.

Or is it? Within seconds of sitting on one of the biobeds, you can already feel yourself slipping into unconsciousness. You have just enough of your wits to notice that the rest of your crew is here as well.

That seems odd.

Actually, so many things seem odd. Before you close your eyes, you make a vow to yourself to...
