Fleet Sitrep for SD 14.0210 Cocoon Fleet News Service www.holoworld-startrek.org ********************************************************* Fleet Commanding Officer ~ Fleet Admiral Erin M. O'Connor ********************************************************* Fleet Executive Officer ~ Admiral Ardeous Brockman ********************************************************* *************************** Antelope Squadron Commander *************************** (currently vacant) *************************** *********** USS ARTEMIS *********** NO REPORT SUBMITTED/CURRENTLY DRY-DOCKED *************************** USS HAMILTON CO: Captain Judah Gibbons GM: Janet Gist *************************** CO Judah Gibbons finds himself in the unenviable position of needing to write a "Dear John" to CSO Mercedes McCarter's sister Jolie. Having written an initial draft, the captain asks Mercedes to proofread it and make adjustments. The tone of the letter is blunt and male, as expected, but the gist of it leaves Mercedes wondering if his feelings for Jolie are strong enough that she should back out instead of "stealing" him. Then, he invites her to dinner in his quarters. She accepts and combined with their romantic parting, she grins and hums through the rest of her duty shift, earning unnoticed strange looks from her staff. After her shift is over, she tries on several outfits under the discerning eye of her holographic friend Hawkeye. The "smashing" outfit he recommends is a sexy knee-length dress the replicator produced when she asked for an elegant floor-length gown. When she arrives at the HAMILTON CO's door, she catches him in his apron taking care of the final preparations for their dinner. She thinks it makes him look adorable and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek that she immediately regrets, thinking she's going too fast. He jokingly offers to get her some seaweed wine, to which she laughs, relaxes, and requests a Chardonnay. He finishes up while she enjoys her wine, then they sit down to eat. Mercedes' quietness during the meal leads Judah to ask if everything is alright and she replies that she was just thinking how little she deserved someone of his quality. He answers with a tsking about her being so hard on herself and compliments her. She changes the subject by asking if he would care to dance and when he asks about music she says the only music they need is from their hearts, heard in their heads. Meanwhile, the fruit of a months old work of sabotage is discovered by some junior members of the engineering team though the sabotage itself remains concealed. The replicators are not only consuming more energy than the things requested of them should require, but they are also producing less than is ordered. As if that weren't mystery enough, the apparently unused energy vanishes from the system monitor reports as well, going who-knows-where to do who-knows-what. ****************** USS SAGAN ****************** NO REPORT SUBMITTED/CURRENTLY DRY-DOCKED **************************** Beaver Squadron Commander **************************** Branch Admiral Cathal Aguiar **************************** ****************** USS HORIZON CO: LtCmdr James Burke GM: Ruud Visser ****************** CSciO Melody Cuen says goodbye to Dr. Bill Patton, with whom she's been very good friends.

After allowing FCO Jarek Malaar to help track down Dr. Wednesday, the FO has a talk with Sasha Kali. She tells him he needs to relax his command style a bit if he wants to be accepted by the crew.

Burke enter the brig with Dr. Wednesday, but the man disappears again before he can be put in a cell. ****************** USS ATHENE ****************** NO REPORT SUBMITTED/CURRENTLY DRY-DOCKED ******************************** USS HERMES CO: Commander Michael J. Halifax GM: Grayham Tyler ******************************** With the abrupt ending to the trial, as the defendant combusted into a ball of flamed, questions are flying in the air, about the ring leader behind all the chaos behind it all, as first was the exploded ship, with thekilling of Commander Hicks, then the treatment of Qeonsal during thepretrial, and then the death of the Intel Officer. In time there will be some answersto all these questions, but at what cost. Ch'Iv is going through a few problems, with the discovery of a black Kyroid template sphere N'Borga had found, as he could understand the data. Ensign N'Borga offers to help him out a little and they both set off to the Holodeck.

Activity has been reported in the Holack sector, despite the Veil's blockage of subspace communication. The USS HERMES has been sent to investigate. Reports of Talonid invasion into the Cocoon have been determined to be false. The USS JOHN GLENN has reportedly found debris from the destruction of the USS COCHRANE. Search for survivors continues, but none have been found at this time. ***************************************************** Amgine Sector and Andromeda Report (by Lt. Alac Nond) ***************************************************** OP 108 activity has begun increasing with the completion of the orbital docking platform. Construction has begun on several new ships at the newly contstructed shipyards there. In addition, the Andromeda wormhole has shown no signs of unusual behavior in recent months, causing a return of commerce to the area. Peaceful cooperation with races in the Amgine Sector continue to increase in the aftermath of the Noo'Ach Peace and Trade Conference. Terrorist attacks continue to plague Starfleet ships in the Andromeda Galaxy. Purist terrorist cells, devoted to ridding Andromeda of all Federation presence, have jeopardized the entrance of Trasior into the Federation. Negotiators on Trasior report that the Trasien council is considering withdrawing their application for membership, while various attacks and disappearances are being investigated both by Trasien Security and by Starfleet. ***************************************** Beyond the Portal (by LtCmdr. Eli Meyman) ***************************************** Recent troop movements along Cardassia's border with Breen space has sparked some interest in the Union's possible plans. With relations still cold from the war, no official inquiries have been made, and no investigation is planned. Betazoid Council chairman Beyard Mali and Alpha Centauran Council chairwoman Vhesha P'Nehbuddar have announced plans to begin a massive cultural exchange between their two peoples, including cultural centers on each of the two race's home planets. The cultural centers will be primarily devoted to exploration of similarities between the two cultures and will include expositions on the theoretical genetic links between Alpha Centaurans and Betazoids. Three suspected members of the Orion Syndicate were indicted today at a Federation Council hearing. Although the Orion Syndicate has been careful in the past to remain outside of Federation jurisdiction, the recent acceptance of Vermanda III into the UFP has expanded StarFleet presence into a previously unmoderated area, heavily used by Syndicate trafficking. StarFleet expects no retaliation, but also no more arrests, as the Syndicate has most likely changed their operations routes. **********************************************************
