Description Ship's Log Stardate 4202.9, Lt. Birdsong recording.

I was able to get through a maintenance hatch and into the partially flooded interior of the IKS Krash.

No survivors.

The remains of the crew were pretty fresh.  Whatever happened apparently happened only a few days ago.
Everything else appeared fairly normal, except for some anomalous chemical warnings from my tricorder.  I set it for chemical alarm and kept going.

I made my way down the corridors and entered what appears to be the Engineering Section to examine the S-2 Graf units.  That's the Klingon equivalent of our Warp Drive Units.

That's where I found the remains of an unknown humanoid species in some sort of uniform.  White hair, blue-green skin...  At first I thought they were Andorians, but they had no antennae.  They were armed and appeared to have been a boarding party.

The Klingons must have been overwhelmed, because they used the ship's supply of theragan nerve gas as a last resort to keep the aliens from taking their ship.

The entire ship appears to have been contaminated.  My chemical alarm began blaring and I swam for my life...

I don't think boater's insurence will cover that type of ship

When your reaction mass goes horribly awry...

Interesting how they're at different levels of flotation.

Pro tip: "antennae."

Depends on a lot of things.
Bone structure, body fat, what they've got in their pockets at the time...

Fixed the spelling.  Thanks!

Would the chemical alarm be more specific if it were responding to residual theragan nerve gas?

And it's slightly surprising that nothing got in (or at least survived) with the water.

The system picked up small chemical traces, but was able to identify it when she got closer to the source.

I imagine there's going to be a lot of weird chemical traces aboard a Klingon ship full of bodies.

And a variety of environmental scavengers and reducers, too. Unless the local biochemistry is too incompatible.

I wonder how it happened...
