In The Power Source, the player has to shut down a power source in Tholian-occupied volcanic caves under the Hwael Ruins.

This mission is only available to players who have completed Tier 4 of the Romulan Reputation System.

Synopsis

The player and their away team enters the Underground Ruins (as requested by D'Tan in “Latest Findings”) and studies geological instabilities, Dewan artifacts, and Tholian equipment. Eventually they reach the end and must shut down the ancient Dewan power plant before the Tholians inadvertently trigger another seismic event.

Outline

Mission text

<Rank>, we've detected a power source under the Hwael Ruins.

The location is a series of lava tubes that lead to an underground volcano, but the energy readings are not geothermic in origin. We need to learn more, but the mineral content of the lava tubes is affecting our sensors, and a probe simply won't be able to do the kind of tests we need.

I know it's dangerous, but would you be willing to explore the area? You and your team will need to use environmental suits -- the heat and pressure would be too much for anyone but a Tholian.
