Strange New Pod | A Star Trek Podcast

Tensions reach a breaking point in the latest episode of Strange New Adventures, "The Standoff." Freshly promoted Captain Marik faces her first true trial in the big chair as the crew of the Thunder Bay comes face to face with Commander T'Vala (Guest Starring Girafe) of the lethal Romulan Tal Shiar. 
When Marik attempts to defuse the ticking time bomb through diplomacy, her words are met with the cold, calculating wall of Romulan resolve. The stakes turn deeply personal when Dr. Neldan is summoned to the bridge, forcing him into a harrowing confrontation with one of his own people and bringing buried pasts straight to the surface. 
Just as the diplomatic razor's edge threatens to snap, a sudden, uninvited arrival drops into the sector, threatening to completely destabilize an already fragile situation. Find out how the crew navigates a web of secrets and Romulan disruptor fire in episode four of The Cries of Mars!

Whispers & Shadows | The Cries of Mars
The aftermath of the Shepard rescue takes a chilling turn this week as the crew of the Thunder Bay realizes the nightmare on Mars is far from over. Even with survivors safely aboard, the fires continue to rage across the Martian colonies, casting a long, crimson shadow over the impending debrief with Starfleet Command.
While Admiral Jellico pushes to keep the crew of Thunder Bay Earth-bound, Admiral Janeway emerges as a staunch ally for the crew as they hope to trace the warp trail of the cloaked "ghost" ship last seen lurking around Mars. Lt. Commander Marik also walks into an unexpected spotlight, leading to a defining moment that will change her trajectory within the fleet forever.
