COCOON FLEET SITUATION REPORT SD: 11.0608 ******* Antelope Squadron: Commodore Tara Cadoriet --- *** USS ATHENE The ATHENE hosts a formal launch party to christen the new TRYFAN class ship. The party features the Squadron Commander of Beaver, J.M. Power and the Personnel Officer Fergal McKewan. It also features the first social outing of the freshly wedded Av'ern and Av'elona who is tapping Counsellor Hote's brain to try and figure out her husband. The Party is barely finished when Thomas Kelen, formerly of the USS CURIE arrives onboard for an inspection tour. His rude manner manage to annoy both the CEO and the CO. *** USS YEAGER The USS YEAGER has said goodbye to ANtonio Leeds who left to Captain his own ship. And is now awaiting crew. ****** Beaver Squadron: Commodore Lowen Punn --- *** USS HORIZON The USS HORIZON meets discreetly with a MELBOURNE class cargo carrier, in the Loloya system. The exchange of the HORIZON's mission pods begins. As Lt. Hamelin begins planning to create a device to find the psychic presence of Lt. Malaar, the Moropa FCO becomes increasingly frustrated at his non-corporal state, trying his best to get the attention of various crew members, generally to very little result. Eventually he attracts the empathic attention of Lt. Cannon, and through a joint psychic and technological effort, the free-floating ghost version of Malaar is reintegrated into his physical body. The meeting of senior staff continues, with Lt. Cmdr. Tergin presenting Lt. Hamelin and Lt. Malaar with the Distinguished Service Medal; a small reward for saving the galaxy from ultimate destruction. Continuing, the HORIZON's current mission is outlined. Not entirely comfortable with his orders, Tergin outlines his plan for the HORIZON to initiate a blockade of SB OMEGA. Jamming transporters and communications, and to open fire on any ship attempting to stop them. Plans for the operation, including the theft of a SUN DANCER class ship are laid out, but Lt. Suven interrupts, unhappy with the unfeasibility of the HORIZON alone being able to maintain the blockade. Lt. Suven outlines an alternate plan, more covert in nature. The HORIZON crew is now involved in an elaborate process of scanning SB OMEGA, the surrounding ships, and communications. Also, Hamalin and Malaar are to be dispatched in a runabout before the HORIZON's arrival at OMEGA, for the purpose of tampering with an automated relay station. Ultimately this will channel communications to the HORIZON. Even though the staff, and in particular Lt. Hamelin feel uncomfortable, and even suspicious of the nature of the current mission, they proceed, albeit cautiously. After the briefing, in an attempt to gain the trust of Lt. Hamelin, Lt. Suven offers to mind meld with the CSciO. Lt. Hamelin is unsure, to say the least, but agrees, if only in the name of scientific analysis. The meld is an intense experience for both participants, ending with Hamelin, if not entirely convinced of Suven's earnestness, at least willing to take a chance. Hamelin is called away, to proceed with his assigned mission before the matter can be further discussed. Meanwhile, the powers that be, back at OMEGA are becoming increasingly suspicious of the HORIZON, and it's activities. Lt. Cmdr. Tergin is contacted by the new Squadron Commander, Commodore Power, curious about the latest discrepancies around the HORIZON. *** USS KATANA The KATANA comes through the booby-trapped asteroids without a scratch, and the slaver’s assault shuttle in point-blank range. The shuttle is swiftly reduced to a burning hulk and the KATANA begins back-tracking its flight path to find Mossara’s base. The base finds its asteroid-based sensor arrays destroyed and switches over to those just outside the base in time to find the KATANA on its very doorstep. The KATANA pummels the base, causing intermittant then emergency-only power, and transports down an away team to rescue the Federation citizens in the slavers' power. Mossara’s folk attempt to shred the attacking Federation vessel with their tractor beams and Ensign Krwn responds by activating emitters which attract an ablative coat to deflect nearly all the beams’ power. As the undeflected portion wreaks mischief inside the ship, Krwn proposes to the captain that they destroy the asteroids housing the tractor emitters. *** USS PHOENIX Capt. Mortimer leaves the ship, after his assessment of the situation. He reveals only to Cmdr. Hiraus that he is indeed from the future, as the temporal displacement found by the medical examination showed. However, the situation moves out of the scope of the PHOENIX along with Mortimer's ship. Reestablishing their course, the PHOENIX makes a rendezvous with a hidden RANGER class ship, the PATHFINDER, commanded by Cmdr. Callie Lazar, after the death of her last CO. She informs the crew of the PATHFINDER's situation, and requests assistance. She also transports to the PHOENIX, for a briefing with Cmdr. Hiraus. As the PHOENIX prepares to provide assistance to the PATHFINDER, CEO Marcus Vell, previously called away from duty because of family obligations, returns! ****** Condor Squadron: Commodore Wynton Spires --- OUTPOST 108 No report submitted. *** USS COCHRANE The USS COCHRANE, tailed covertly by Doyle, arrives at the portal to find it unguarded. The USS AVITAR, formerly on portal duty, was caught escorting Jem'Hadar fighters into the Cocoon. Ryan Trask, attempting to escape undetected from the Cocoon, shot down two fighters and the COCHRANE made short work of the rest. The AVITAR has been discovered to have a shapeshifter taking the place of Captain Tulvek, the AVITAR's CO. *** DS 101 A new CSciO arrives, Lt McPherson. After John Robert's unauthorised solo trip narrowly avoids disaster, Alyza forces him into a Holosimulation in an attempt to teach him the importance of team work. Morwenna takes advantage of Poppy's sleepover, dressed to kill she awaits her date with Grayson. Surely nothing can go wrong THIS time? The crew from the CURIE are still stuck inside the malfunctioning holosuite 2. They seem to have solved the immediate danger but can they get out before it throws something worse at them? *** USS CURIE Most of the crew remain trapped in the holodeck. It has been discovered that two sims were running simultaneously. The characters were then created causing the skies to be full of everything from Mafia members to dragons and flying batmen.   Meanwhile, Perigrin has been placed in charge of the CURIE as Galia seeks out Tinkerbell for another counselling session. ******* Viper Squadron: Commodore Davis Dal Starian --- USS DURHAM The USS DURHAM has received its orders and is awaiting mission briefing before leaving for the Renrael sector. After the inspection tour of the DURHAM's engines by the CO and FO the crew settled down to await orders. The quiet punctuated only by a drill simulating Dominion attack put together by the FO and the CSO. *** USS IBUTHO No report submitted. *** USS KRIEGER No report submitted. *** USS ZAHAL No report submitted. ****** Cocoon Fleet Situation Intelligence Report: by Cmdr. Ilu A ceasefire exists between the Federation and the Na'Chem. The Juun have made no official comment. Several Officials sacked from the Juun government following the exposure of genocide committed against the Na'Chem by the Juun have attempted to lure the Federation into a war with the Na'Chem. Starfleet is investigating these allegations of Genocide against the Na'Chem heavily which may threaten the Juun's position in the Federation. Starfleet Intelligence Officers are on the scene and investigating the reports of Romulan influence in the matter. A small number of Na'Chem factions are refusing to acknowledge the ceasefire. Calling themselves the Na'stiu, they continue raids against the Juun. An area of space being dubbed the ‘Bermuda Triangle' has left Several Starfleet vessels missing. A ship has been sent to investigate. Amgine Sector Report: by Lt. Serin Erl Deep Space 101 has returned to it's previous location. The exact circumstances of it's disappearance have been divulged to Cocoon Fleet Headquarters. Outpost 108's construction proceeds on schedule, it's support vessel however has left on a joint mission with the Klingon vessel "Kahless' Blood". The USS CURIE has returned from the far end of the Cocoon. A new HAWKING class ship has arrived to replace the aging FEYNMAN. Beyond the Portal: by Lt. Michael Walters The Klingon Empire has established a Ceasefire with the Federation following the exposure of a conspiracy between the Klingon Houses in the former Occupied zone and the Cardassian Union. Peace Negotiations are proceeding slowly on Khitomer, several of the Federation's top ambassadors have been sent and recent reports say that the Negotiations are nearing an end. Fleet yards across the Federation are putting in extra effort to bring the fleets numbers back up to what they were before the war. What Starfleet lacks now is the personnel to staff those ships. Federation fleets are regrouping and rebuilding following the recent war. The eighth fleet, sixth and third fleets are the only fleets so far to regain their numbers to what they were before the war. The wormhole at DS 12 has finally sufficiently stabilized for traffic to resume to the Gamma Quadrant. Respectfully Submitted, Tom Doyle, Fleet GM for Holoworld
