You'll need to make use not only of your own hyper-competence but also that of your teammates by way of shared mental and emotional consciousness: the Headspace. Using this technology, you can connect to your teammates' minds and use their skills as though they were your own. There's a catch though: Everyone's got emotional baggage and digging too deeply can pull a teammates emotions into your own actions. The Headspace is the edge you need to stand against the corruption of the world, are you and your fellow operatives ready to take up the challenge and make the world a better place? (3-5 player)

Your shuttle trip to Narendra Station to take your assignment on your commissioned starship has turned out to be more eventful than you anticipated. As you and your fellow Starfleet graduates chatted about your bright futures, you received a distress signal from Xerxes 4, an uninhabited Class M planet containing no life except for a Federation science team. The distress signal offered no information except that the science team stationed there was in danger. As you took the shuttle toward the planet’s surface, you were caught in a violent ion storm that knocked out navigation, forcing a crash-landing on the planet’s surface.

On the other hand, she is trying to leave behind her fear, confusion, and selfishness, so that she can learn to be heroic. Will she rescue the innocents? Will she find her way through mazes and traps? Will her time in the Other World teach her about being clever, daring, and kind?
