Karaoke! CO Antonio Leeds excuses himself from the singing shindig and invites Mercedes instead to a poker game between himself, FO Judah Gibbons, and a few of the other senior officers. Mercedes first time dockside turns a bit sour when her ex- fiance, who she just wrote a gently-closing-things-off-between-them letter to, finds her in the crowd and kisses her passionately just as her new boyfriend, OPS Zac Bentley arrives! Zac disappears into the crowd before Mercedes can explain. ---USS DESIRE (USS HAMILTON Command Graade Training)--- Mister Mallorn, the infiltrator they have in the brig, continues to insist that the Orion mother ship is actually a mildly intelligent, space-dwelling creature reminding CSciO Sudak of Gomtuu whom the USS ENTERPRISE investigated. The HIROSHIMA arrives and several DESIRE crewmembers board the support vessel to rescue the remaining nine prisoners. After they return, the Orions launch 25 interceptors to destroy the HAWKING and let no one have it. DESIRE and HIROSHIMA destroy or disable 13 before ten more are launched as reinforcements. The space creature, with insufficient guards to hold it, emerges from the nebula and destroys 1/4 of the fighters and disables many more with a single blast. The remaining Orions flee the area and the creature flashes complex light signals to the SF vessels before slipping back into the nebula. The mission essentially over, CO Joanne Carters and FO Jill Landon-Leeds are left with paperwork and their duty to their fallen comrades, but, after leaving them to their solemn duty for a while, their HAMILTON CO Antonio Leeds ends the simulation and orders them to go nowhere near their offices for three days. ********* USS SAGAN ********* NO REPORT SUBMITTED/CURRENTLY DRY-DOCKED ************************* Beaver Squadron Commander ************************* ~ Vacant ~ ************************* *************** USS HORIZON Captain Tergin GM: Ruud Visser *************** (The Horizon is currently investigating a dark matter anomaly in the Katarian sector.) Or'Nonya tells Tergin what he knows about dark matter nebulas, and Tergin decides to hold position, rather than going for the center, as suggested earlier by the 'ghosts' from the nebula. After a talk to his holoprogram, CMO Bill Patton visits CSciO Melody Cuen. He suggests to look for a way to convert the dark matter into normal matter. Hoping to get a better understanding of the situation, CNS Jay McMadeth talks Maggy into showing him what it is like inside the nebula. On the Dakota, Leyson Ayden's plan is carried out despite objections from the ship's CO. Using neutrino emissions, the ship starts firing a corridor through the anomaly to where they have calculated the Horizon to be. Their actions result in Tergin and Maggy collapsing. >From what Maggy is able to tell and from what Tergin has heard from his mate, the Horizon crew concludes that someone is still alive on research station Arkon, deep inside the nebula. Whether his intentions are good or bad remains to be seen. On the Dakota, they have found the Horizon on sensors, as well as what appears to be RS Arkon. **************** USS ATHENE Commander Krwn GM Kathy Ruether **************** On the decision on who should go along for the away mission, Lt. Sands decides on the Dr. Morit to be ready for casualties, the Hollander twins, Lt. Shawn Day, Ensign Jorden for her abilities in science, and Ensign Jur for his negotiation abilities. The Hollander twins will be used as a secret weapon against the Talosians because of how they confused Admiral Evers. Ab calls Jorden in for a check-up since she has not already. Morit is infatuated with the FCO and ends up rambling while Jorden drifting in and out of their conversation. He asks for Jur to come to sickbay in order to return Krwn back to his real body by keeping him occupied. Azelda Blei soon to be Dr. Azelda Blei is also to help out in the telepathic part of the process. It is then decided that Jur and Azelda are to combine abilities to transfer Krwn's mind to his body. ******************* USS HERMES Captain India Baker GM Scott Bradley ******************* NO REPORT SUBMITTED ************************* Condor Squadron Commander ************************* ~ Vacant ~ ************************* ************** DS 101 Captain Alyza GM Don Ratliff ************** Dr. Villeray completes a preliminary report on Ensign Knicks' condition. The tests show massive tissue damage, the cause of which will have to wait until the HIKARU's return to DS-101. Captain Alyza and her away team (Lt. Cady, Dr. Villeray, Ensign Goose) arrives on the planet's surface to be greeted by President Akamai. The President informs Alyza that many years ago the Gortu had reclaimed vast areas of land from the sea to provide swampy living areas. It was these areas which sustained most of the earthquake damage, with the sea reclaiming the living spaces. The increased swamp lead to an increase in the methane concentration in the atmosphere and damage to the ozone layer. Cady gets an introduction to a local welcoming ceremony, The Bringing Cake. The USS ZAHAL, commanded by Lt. Cmdr. Batya Bitzalel, arrives in-system with the ATLANTIS to lend assistance. Back at DS-101, the USS LEGACY and Lt. Cmdr. John Roberts returns after an absence of several months. Lt. Cmdr. Roberts is severely injured some time prior to arrival and is taken for medical attention. There was an open arrest order for Roberts and the crew for desertion and they are placed under Security's control. The LEGACY's arrival causes a subspace tunnel, through which the LEGACY traveled from Xu'sorfian space, to remain open. No one knows what happened to the LEGACY while it was gone. But the possibility of war exists because of what happened with the LEGACY on her voyage. ************ USS COCHRANE ************ NO REPORT SUBMITTED/CURRENTLY DRYDOCKED **************** USS NIGHTINGALE LtCmdr Pol Canon GM Mistie Smith **************** ~~Still in orbit of the planet~~ Payl'n is slightly over whelmed by all that is happening. Finding the captain in gone and now Cannon is in charge, that there is a new counselor he has to meet, having Romulan patients, an overzealous CSO and also having to be at a Formal evening in twenty mintues. The captain gets ready, he is met by an old friend Abigail and together they join the formal evening. One by one, the rest of the crew get ready for the dinner and arrive. Meeting old friends and making new ones. The new counselor, having not yet uploaded her holographic nanny, finds a sitter for Jaden and also attends the dinner. The dinner party is going on just lovely, but unknown, 400km away from Tallen City, on the planets surface. A man in a virus growth labratory, unwittingly tears his containment uniforma and infects him and many, many more with the deadly virus. As the party rages on, on the Nightingale. On the planet one is about to begin.... ********************************************************************* Cocoon Fleet Situation Intelligence Report (by Adm. Elisabeth Davies) ********************************************************************* UPDATED SD 13.0120 The Federation/Na'Chem Ceasefire is still in effect. Although, the Na'Stiu faction continues with efforts to upset the Ceasefire. StarFleet vessels have been dispatched to attempt to negotiate with the Na'Stiu and provide peacekeeping defense. The USS SELEYA is currently pursuing negotiation efforts while the XERXES and ZEUS have been patrolling areas of intense Na'Stiu activity. Diplomatic relations with the Juun are still considered to be in 'a tense period' and talks have been initiated to resolve the situation. Captain Mara Nemec, Juun StarFleet officer, has been assigned to the Juun homeworld to attempt to repair the situation which has recently escalated after riots in the Vu'rain province and the trial of several doctors believed to be responsible for the Genetic Experimentation scandals. This news comes only 10 months since a team led by Captain Alyza of DS 101 uncovered evidence that the Juun Union was indeed developing a weapon of mass destruction. The lives of many Seekers were lost during the investigation which ended on SD 12.0501. The recent temporal anomalies prevalent in the Cocoon seem to have waned, although official reports are still unavailable at this time. Recent departure of Admiral Fergal McKewan has caused restructuring in the Cocoon Fleet Command. McKewan has been replaced on interim basis by field-promoted Fleet Admiral Fuschia Tino. Captain Elisabeth Davies, recently made Head of Cocoon Fleet Intelligence has been given a field promotion to Admiral and named as interim Fleet Executive Officer. All Squadron Commander positions are currently unfilled and the interim brass is in process of searching for successors. Captain Ardeous Brockman will be in command of the continuing clean-up of SFIntel in the Cocoon and Commander Foster Ryan has been assigned as new Chief Training Officer for the Fleet. *************************************** Amgine Sector Report (by Lt. Alac Nond) *************************************** DEEP SPACE 101 has seen much activity as its engineering capability's are undergoing a major upgrading. Also facilities for accommodating its new role as a secondary command centre in the event of catastrophe befalling SB OMEGA are in the process of being added. Work progresses slowly but the facilities are nearly completed. OP108 has completed installation of its orbital docking platform and commercial and Fleet activity continues to grow in the area. Recent disappearance of the ships in the area has prompted Fleet Command to send the USS COCHRANE, now cleared of framed treason charges, to investigate the space around OP 108 and the Andromeda wormhole. The Noo'ach Peace and Trade Conference was extremely successful, resulting in many new trade and diplomatic relations being established with several new races. Although a mobile anomaly appeared in the area, nearly causing the destruction of the USS HORIZON, USS HIKARU and a Hetgarot vessel, the conference was spared any turmoil. The Hetgarot concerns about the recent elevated activity near OP 108 has been eased due to the success of the conference. ***************************************** Beyond the Portal (by LtCmdr. Eli Meyman) ***************************************** Relations with the Klingon Empire have improved steadily since the completion of the New Khitomer Concorde. The Cardassian Union continues to make no official comment on the situation, but intelligence shows military activity at a minimum within the Union. Fleet yards across the Federation have been putting in extra efforts and brought the capacity of Starfleet's Fleet's back up to what they were. The ship yards are now slowing their production of starships and focusing on developing new designs that require less personnel, as what Starfleet lacks now is the personnel to staff the ships. All Starfleet Fleets have regained their strengths. The new Tecumseh-class battle cruiser, the first ship to be produced exclusively in the Cocoon has been retitled the USS ATHENE, in honor of the previously destroyed ATHENE. Although the ATHENE's current mission is TOP SECRET, Command has confirmed that the majority of the mission will take place outside of the Cocoon. All eyes in the Federation are awaiting results of the Tecumseh-class' maiden voyage, as production may begin at non-Cocoon shipyards. Recent activity on the Tholian border has resulted in increased monitoring. No military threat is perceived at this time. **************************************
