From publisher blurb:
A routine inspection of a Starfleet research project leads to ethical dilemmas for the ship’s crew. In order to save lives, difficult decisions need to be made, and your crew may need to test the limits of the Prime Directive.
Starfleet has given your crew instructions to resupply the U.S.S. Colotario and to prepare a progress report on the Colotario’s ongoing research. The discovery of troubling anomalies leads to closer scrutiny of the research project and its scientists.
The situation is further complicated by first contact with a new species and their desperate plea for help. The crew must identify if (and how) they can help, and use their own scientific knowledge and, perhaps, the technology of the U.S.S. Colotario’s research project to travel where no Starfleet officer has gone before!
Although this is a standalone adventure, a one-page mission brief provides inspiration for continuing the mission.
