COCOON FLEET SITUATION REPORT SD: 10.0721 ******* USS REGULATOR The REGULATOR is currently drydocked at Gaia Fleetyards. *** USS YEAGER The YEAGER is currently drydocked at Gaia Fleetyards. *** USS LOKI The LOKI is currently drydocked at Gaia Fleetyards. *** USS SAGAN Currently drydocked at the Gaia Fleetyards. ******* Antelope Squadron: Commodore Xantho --- Outpost 721 No report submitted. *** USS ATHENE The Athene has joined the battle at the portal. During the turmoil, the Athene detected a single life pod floating about amongst the chaos. The pod was of Vulcan design and there were minimal life support aboard. The Athene was able to fight it's way into a position to retrieve the life pod, unfortunatly, Lieutenant Hanara, the ship's OPS officer, was injured badly after a Klingon vessel scored a direct hit on the Athene's bridge. Hanara's status remains uncertain. *** USS KATANA The KATANA was forced to break off her attack against the Vor'cha class crusier BLOODOATH, when she received an urgent call for assistance from the AVALON. After forming up with the rest of the CLASH wing, the remenants of task force horizon, and recovering some escape pods from the medical frigate recently destroyed USS VALIANT, the ships made there way to the Portal to face off against a Klingon force of about 50 ships. Lt Jacob Kotler, who was assigned to the USS VALIANT as a OPS officer, was one of the few survivors of the ill fated ship. His life pod was recovered by the KATANA and he was almost immeaditaely put to work at OPS, after the death of Chief Marie Vautour. *** USS PHOENIX No report submitted. ****** Beaver Squadron: Commodore Wolf --- SB OMEGA No report submitted. *** USS XERXES Captain Careth had completely recovered from his injuries in the Starbase Omega infirmary, and demanded to rejoin his ship. With the permission of Commodore Xantho, he was allowed to proceed to the battle zone, by way of his personal shuttlecraft PEGASUS, which was in storage on the base. Upon arrival at the XERXES, Careth took command to find the ship was badly damaged, but still able to fight. The XERXES then proceeded to aid the AVALON at the Portal. *** USS HORIZON The USS HORIZON is making her way to aid tha AVALON and ships from CLASH and CHALICE in the defense of the Portal from the Klingons which have broken through the defenses and made their way towards it. The HORIZON has taken quite a pounding and it is uncertain whether or not she will be able to hold out in the fight. ****** Condor Squadron: Commodore Meriwether Kenton --- USS GRYPHON No report submitted. *** DS 101 The HIKARU, overloaded with survivors of the destroyed Caeser class vessels, headed to the freighters, lest their life support give out. They watched entities around DS 101 battled with the Nebula dwellers, 3 entities being destroyed and one badly damaged before the Nebula dwellers were defeated. The worm hole anomoly suddenly closed to the size of a shuttle craft. The CO greived for the loss of her FO and freind in her own way in the privacy of her ready room. Her 2O was determined that he would be the one to get her when she was needed, knowing that she had suffered a great loss and didn't know if her twins or her sister were alive. He did this dispite the fact that he too may have lost someone close, his own wife. Alyza returned to the bridge with an idea on how to destroy the worm hole anomoly. After a probe was sent in by HIKARU to attempt to get a message to the CURIE on execute this idea was destroyed, the anomoly vanished completely. It is possible that this is a result of some actions on the part of the USS CURIE, missing and presumed lost on the other side of the worm hole. Meanwhile, in response to the closing of the wormhole, the DS 101 like entities headed at high speed for the other end of the cocoon, leaving DS 101 herself in a dormant state. *** USS CURIE Not certain if Capt Martin Claudius, formerly CO of the USS STENA was whom he claimed to be, Karra'gana called security to the bridge while his identity was checked out. Capt. Z'Dark remains in sickbay, unconsious but out of danger for the moment. It was determined that the CURIE needed to find a way to close down the worm hole to keep the creatures that looked like DS 101 from wreking havoc on the known areas of the Cocoon. The ship found that they were over an entity as well. The CURIE FO had the young FCO ease them away from the creature, and caused their Romulan CNS frustration as she seemed to be mildly amused by this whole thing. She chalked it up to the slowness of humans to understand the situation at hand. *** USS HERACLES No report submitted. ******* Viper Squadron: Commodore Davis Dal Starian --- USS DURHAM The Durham is awaiting a new crew at SB Omega. If Omega is attacked, it can be expected to aid in defense of the Starbase. *** USS IBUTHO The USS IBUTHO is currently awaitning staff. Although Hanari has no senior staff she knows that if the Klingons come through the portal, she and the IBUTHO will be called into defense of OMEGA. *** USS KRIEGER As the senior staff began to report onboard the USS KRIEGER it became apparent that something wasn't right when Lt.Harrison discovered a small creature in his quarters. Soon the creatures appeared all over the ship, dividing quickly to grow new specimens. Ens.Sovak and Ens.Hale worked on containing the creatures whilst Ens.Malaar and Lt.Harrison investigated a mysterious 'mock' shuttle. As the new CEO, Ens.Sands, arrived it was found that by lowering the ship's temperature the creatures would huddle near a heat source. Ens.Sands set up a source of heat that the creatures would be attracted too and eventually the crew contained the infestation - beaming the creatures to SB OMEGA for further investigation. With the infestation contained, and SFSec investigating the course, the USS KRIEGER was given mission orders to investigate a discovery of Cocoon Listening Outpost 12's. The Outpost has picked up what could be a warp signiture of a previously unencountered race. With the ship underway, the senior staff are gathering in the Observation Lounge for a briefing. *** USS ZAHAL After finally getting the replicator reprogrammed so it produces more than just gach, the ZAHAL set out on its mission. Communication has been lost to the terraforming colony of Vagra III in the Renrael Sector. It is possible that the 20 terraformers are in peril for their lives, so ZAHAL is proceeding at their maximum cruise warp. A worm hole that grew and shrunk appeared on long range sensors, but a probe launched at the orders of the CO said there was no such worm hole. The crew is now trying to determine if the computer malfunction that caused the replicatore to produce gach was more than first appeared. What went wrong on the colony also still remains a mystery. The FO, Kalen 7 has been confined to sickbay after some flashbacks to his days as a Borg. ****** Intelligence Report for Cocoon Fleet - Commander Sellush A freighter was attacked recently by an unknown entity. Deep Space 101 is investigating the incident. A ceasefire has been established with the Na'Chem. The Juun response has been unexpectedly reserved. Talks have resolved the recent 'pirate' problems in the Irimida Sector Klingon Situation Report for Starfleet - Commander Inhoff: Communications between the Federation and The Cocoon have been terminated by a Klingon task force striking from an unknown base. Reports and communications to the Federation are currently being carried by escort vessels to the vital conveys that supply the Cocoon. Rumours of a Klingon attack on The Cocoon are circulating within the Federation. The tenth fleet is being sent to provide backup should the rumours be true. A communication from an unknown reliable source has provided The Cocoon Fleet with more solid information and a defense fleet is massing at SB OMEGA to repel the Klingon assault. The USS HORIZON is leading a task force of 12 starships, including the USS GRYPHON in a pre-emptive strike against the 600+ strong Klingon assault fleet. SFSec continue to investigate the apparent assasination of the Klingon Ambassador on Arkanis by the former CinC of Starfleet, who was killed later by the Klingons. The USS SAGAN is currently on it's way to retreive the SFSec team and complete the mission in hopes of stopping the Klingon assault on The Cocoon.
