She expresses some of her secret plans to her aide. CMO Bill Patton calls up some background information about the Horizon's upcoming mission. They are to investigate the disappearance of the USS Hudson. After travelling to the Andromeda galaxy through a wormhole near Outpost 108 and the planet M'Sagro III, all contact with the USS Hudson has been last. The Cochrane was sent to investigate, but was recalled before they had found any answers. The Cochrane's crew did report seeing some kind of illusions aboard the ship, hinting at a telepathic race on the other side of the wormhole. Meanwhile, FCO/2O Phryn oversees the mission pod exchange to the General Weapons Pod. When the exchange is finished, the ship heads for M'Sagro III. FO Leyson Ayden reports to sickbay for his annual check-up. The doctor tells him he might be able to remove some of his implants, but Ayden respectfully declines, because of the uncertainties attached to such a procedure. Patton pushes him a bit about his backgrounds, but Ayden won't discuss it, and orders the doctor to keep his theories for himself. ****************** USS ATHENE CO: Commander Krwn GM: Kathy Ruether ****************** NO REPORT SUBMITTED ******************************** USS HERMES CO: Commander Michael J. Halifax GM: Scott Bassitt ******************************** USS SANTANA (USS HERMES CGT): Promoted to FO, Lt. Reetaw'agah must first complete CGT. Commander Halifax accompanies her to the holodeck, and informs her of the situation. The ship is the USS SANTANA, on a mercy mission to the Dryden system to counter an outbreak of radiation sickness on one of the system's planets. Lt. Reetaw'agah arrives on the bridge of the USS SANTANA to find the ship headed for a decidedly lower than anticipated orbit. Giving her first command, she orders, very decisively, to pull up. Given that the thrusters are out, that bit of strategy ultimately fails, and the SANTANA finds itself making an abrupt visit to the planet's surface. On the planet surface, the natives couldn't help but notice the large starship fall from the sky and crash near their village. The natives feel duty-bound to help any in need, and send aid to the fallen ship. Although the council of elders decreed that the crew of the SANTANA were not to be feared, many of the natives stay well clear of Lt. Reetaw'agah, due in no small part to the fact that a bird, to the natives, is a harbinger of death. However, before the crew learns anything about the natives, they are abruptly called back to their village. Agah orders Ens. Jynn to take a detachment and keep an eye on them. Meanwhile, Ens. Rodin Jetro is ordered to make contact with the CEO, Lt. Stayan, to get a status report on the repair effort. The CEO bluntly informs him that the SANTANA has become a permanent attachment of the planet's surface, but is reminded that the CO still wants a formal report. After ensuring that the CEO's first priority is communications, Ens. Rodin heads to the shuttlebay. Luckily, he finds that most of the shuttlecraft are still operational. However, their range has been reduced dramatically by the fact that the shuttlebay doors are inoperative, damaged beyond repair in the crash. Following the natives, Ens. Jynn and his team find the villagers on the brink of a tribal war with another tribe, angry at the perceived theft of ... Merimde. The natives perceive her as the only hope of surviving the FREEZING, an event which treatens the natives, unless they properly prepare for it. After Merimde flies off in a huff, literally, Jynn jumps in to offer the natives a hope of survival, and takes them to Agah. They are reluctant to beleive that Reetaw'agah can help them, and she takes exception to being referred to as a 'Death-bringer'. However, she convinces them to describe the FREEZING. USS HERMES: Col. McKendrick and Lt. McClure are at loggerheads concerning the fate of the Artemis AI, ART. McClure unsuccessfully tries to get McKendrick to let ART decide where he/it prefers to be, when Lt. Qoensal arrives to settle the dispute by initiating an inquiry into ART's release. ************************** Condor Squadron Commander ************************** Branch Admiral Aleksi Kara ************************** ***************** DS101 CO: Captain Alyza GM: Don Ratliff ***************** The HIKARU make contact with the Plisho ship that sent the distress message. Unfortunately before any information could be exchanged there was a massive power fluctuation throughout the HIKARU's systems. Within the blink of an eye, the HIKARU found herself back alongside DS 101; appearing suddenly from empty space. Further investigation by the DS-101's new CEO revealed that the power fluctuation coincided with the opening of a rift in space-time. The HIKARU was caught in that rift, and transported to DS 101 in 1.3 milli-seconds. How the rift formed and why DS 101 was chosen as HIKARU's destination were still unanswered questions. Jel'ar receives a visit from Rouge demanding payment for the illegal weapons Jel'ar had purchased. Lt.Cmdr. Roberts received a visit from a Vurtedion messanger. An official from the Vurtedion home world has been dispatched to discuss with Roberts on behalf of trade with Cait. Several stipulations were made clear by the Vurtedions before these trade talks could proceed. Roberts agrees to the conditions and arrangements are made. Lt.Cmdr. Tuvar, a Vulcan, arrives to take over the post of Chief Engineer. He had previously spent some time teaching Logic to the Q Continum. He finds a backlog of repair requests and immediately sets his Engineering staff to work. Tuvar, himself, goes to the HIKARU. The Xilfan Ambassador, Ergit, responds to Ambassador Warlord Av'ern request for a meeting to discuss trade with Cait. An informal meeting between the two Ambassadors is arranged. Ensign Foley, Chief Science Officer, found a man dismantling the comm system in his quarters. Foley managed to subdue the intruder and transported him to the Brig. Captain Alyza was holding a meeting with the Senior Officers, when suddenly she finds herself elsewhere. A formless blackness. Exploring, she finds Ensign Foley. They are able to communicate telepathically. Holding hands they explore the blackness around them. Suddenly something furry brushes Foley's hand. To others present at the Senior Staff meeting, Alyza is present in the here and now; although unconscious. Foley is in the same condition. Exam by the medical officer Dr. Mira Ling (NPC), showed that Alyza's and Foley's brain acitivity was of that of a person wide awake. Ling transfers the two stricken officers to Sickbay. ************************** USS JOHN GLENN CO: Captain Richard Murphy GM: Adam West ************************** After Murphy agrees to the plan for CSciO Martin and CMO Biaret to take a runabout and attempt to operate on the Talonid infested COCHRANE crewmember, Biaret makes it clear to Martin that she's not happy with the plan. They proceed anyway and launch the runabout. Things proceed surprisingly smoothly and they nearly complete the operation before a proximity mine rocks both the JOHN GLENN and the runabout. Wondering what is happening, CNS Scott makes her way to the Bridge and watches as the crew attempts to discover the source and motive behind the minds. It isn't until she faints that they discover she's broken her arm and was too stubborn to go to Sickbay. On the runabout, Martin forcefully beams Biaret back to the JG when their warp core begins to breach. He barely makes it out himself after killing the woman from the Cochrane who cannot be brought back to the JG out of stasis. Later, FO Horne realizes that he had known the woman from the Cochrane, and her death hits him hard. Repairs and investigations begin while CSO Greene and CEO Kess'Rith attempt to find out the culprits behind the explosion. They find a dud explosive that, when scanned, reveals the high probability of SFMarine involvement. Murphy and Horne share the same thought: Nash. Martin arrives on the Bridge and announces the possibility of Cochrane survivors on the planet's M-class moon. Greene publicly confronts Martin's reckless behavior towards trying to rescue Cochrane survivors and makes it clear she won't let him endanger the ship. Before he can respond though, Dr. Zelith Waynes (on the planet below) uses his last moments to open a permanent wormhole. ********************************** USS NIGHTINGALE CO: Lieutenant-Commander Pol Canon GM: Mistie Smith ********************************** NO REPORT SUBMITTED ***************************************************************** Cocoon Fleet Situation Intelligence Report (by Cmdr Seth Forster) ***************************************************************** UPDATED SD 13.0516 The USS SELEYA, XERXES and ZEUS continue peacekeeping efforts and patrols among Na'stiu cells. The Seleya's most recent contact has agreed to a ceasefire contingent upon other cells agreeing to the same. The Zeus recently escorted a convoy of Ebmanok freighters through the Na'stiu tension zone with no incident. Diplomatic relations with the Juun are still considered to be in 'a tense period.' Talks continue with no advancement. Actions to relegitimize SFIntel continue. The current Fleet Administration has stabilized, allowing for more investigation into past Intel actions. Captain Ardeous Brockman was promoted to Head of SFIntel in the Cocoon following the reassignment of Vice-Admiral Elisabeth Davies. Several deaths due to shuttle accidents have caused great loss in the Cocoon area as well as outside the Cocoon. Although there is currently no explanation for the sudden increase in shuttle accidents, SFEng and SFSec are investigating the problem. Among those lost in the Cocoon area in the last few weeks are LtCmdr Viviane Taliesen of SB OMEGA, OMEGA quartermaster Aleta Fehrahr, HORIZON Special Operative 5 of 13 and Lt Tek, formerly of the USS HERMES. Perhaps the most saddening loss is that of former acting Fleet Administrators Admiral Fuschia Tino and Vice-Admiral Elisabeth Davies, whose shuttle breached as they were being transported to their new assignments at SFHQ. These officers will all be missed. Memorial Services will be announced to Commanding Officers. *************************************** Amgine Sector Report (by Lt. Alac Nond) *************************************** OP108 has completed installation of its orbital docking platform and commercial and Fleet activity continues to grow in the area. The USS HORIZON is en route to investigate the nearby wormhole to the Andromeda Galaxy. The USS HUDSON, which had disappeared while investigating the wormhole is still missing. Peaceful cooperation with races in the Amgine Sector continue to increase in the aftermath of the Noo'Ach Peace and Trade Conference. ***************************************** Beyond the Portal (by LtCmdr. Eli Meyman) ***************************************** The Klingon/Federation Officer Exchange Program has shown some success and plans are in the works to expand the program. The Klingon Empire and the Federation have established a non-aggression pact that many consider the prelude to a new treaty between the two. Still no official comments or noticeable military movement from the Cardassian Union which is beginning to cause concern over what, if anything, they might be planning. Unification talks between Romulan Ambassador Tultia and Vulcan Ambassador Skarov on Bajor have met an impasse and ended without success. Ambassador Skarov made a public statement saying, "The Vulcan people will continue to work for peaceful cooperation with our Romulan cousins. This is but a first step and trust between us has grown." The Ambassador did not comment on any plans for a second meeting. ************************************************************
