Stardate: 2414.01.20 For the past three months, the Mithrandir has found itself returning to planetary surveys. They have been ordered to the nearest Starbase to take on a large supply of medicine to deal with a plague that had struck an outlying Federation outpost. The ship was also given the advanced replicator technology to produce more medicine. The crew set up a Hospital to treat the sick and dying and set about trying to figure out a way to help the colonists.
