In this first paper of an ongoing program to study the Stream in absorption, we present a chemical abundance analysis based on HST/COS and VLT/UVES spectra of four AGN (RBS 144, NGC 7714, PHL 2525, and HE 0056-3622) lying behind the MS. Two of these sightlines yield good MS metallicity measurements: toward RBS 144 we measure a low MS metallicity of [S/H]=[S II/H I]=-1.13+/-0.16 while toward NGC 7714 we measure [O/H]=[O I/H I]=-1.24+/-0.20.
