Fleet Sitrep for SD 14.1215 Cocoon Fleet News Service www.holoworld-startrek.org ATTENTION: We are in need of a Unit GameMaster for the USS HERMES.

Anyone interested please drop me an email at ratliffmd [at_symbol]dixie-net.com (remove the ) and I'll further explain what is expected from a UGM. This is an opportunity for all players, Ensigns-to-Admirals, new players-and-veterans, to give something back to the Fleet for all the Fun you are having! ********************************************************* Fleet Commanding Officer ~ Fleet Admiral Erin M. O'Connor ********************************************************* Fleet Executive Officer ~ Currently Vacant ********************************************************* *************************** Antelope Squadron Commander *************************** (currently vacant) *************************** *************************** USS HAMILTON CO: Captain Judah Gibbons GM: Janet Gist *************************** CNS Logaan Woods is awakened by his ex-fiance Karen sounding the chime for his quarters. When he asks what she wants, she offers to take Sarah, his adopted, autistic sister who is in a deepening coma, back with her to Earth where specialists will have a shot at saving her. His gratitude leads to a kiss which he guiltily breaks off and she blows up at this last rejection. His will is holed up with his confusion and hurt, though, so he won't fight with her instead simply promising to bring Sarah to the docking bay when Karen is about to leave. CSciO Jur Lehron has holed up in his lab to cook up a new drink for his wedding reception. With one of his staff assisting and another popping in to take a peek at their work, he gets to horrified objections when he seizes the receiving glass at the end of the shining, glassy convolutions and takes an unhesitant trial sip. It apparently is not immediately fatal, for their boss says it tastes good and decides to name it "booze." Reminded that name is already taken, he changes it to "jooze" after his own first initial. One of his two staff observers suggests it be named "looze" since people will most likely lose their minds if they drink the stuff. CEO Chandler McCarter has lost pounds and inches since the delivery of her twins. CSO Mercedes McCarter, her husband's sister, carries Yossarian Jr back in to her when he begins crying from the attenuation of his twin-bond to his sister. Back together, they quiet down, but Chandler's exhaustion and apparent worries about Yossarian Sr's prognosis leads Auntie to take the two freshest McCarters to their Sickbay cribs so their mom can rest. After half finishing the reports on the attack that put her brother in vital need of medical attention, she sits in the Lounge philosophizing about alcohol. Logaan arrives shortly to let her know Sarah has gone and they sit listening to the band play "Kiss the Girl" while he muses that it must be a conspiracy. As the song ends, Sertek comes in and they invite him over to learn all about him. **************************** Beaver Squadron Commander **************************** (currently vacant) **************************** ****************** USS HORIZON CO: LtCmdr James Burke GM: Ruud Visser ****************** CSciO Abi Seldon and astCEO Waters perform yet more examinations of the sensors, but they can't find anything to explain their malfunction. In the end, only one option remains: going outside and checking the array from there. OPS D'Art Storm joins Seldon and Waters on the zero-G expedition. They discover a metallic device on top of the sensor dish, interacting with the ship's computers through the sensors. As Seldon is relaying the news to captain Burke, the ship shudders and Waters falls into the dish. To make things worse, the metallic device seems to be growing. On the bridge, Burke is all but happy with the way a routine scientific survey mission has turned into a full-blown riddle including crewmembers out-of-reach and an alien device growing itself into the ship. Meanwhile on the Pri-Sat, five ice-encrusted canisters are beginning to thaw. Inside each life is being awakened. On the Pri-Sat, CNS Stan the Man uses the subspace link to his PHE to send a Morse coded message to the Horizon. Meanwhile, CSciO Abi Seldon and OPS D'Art Storm continue the rescue operation of Chief Waters, who has fallen down into the deflector dish on an EVA repair job. ****************** USS ATHENE ****************** NO REPORT SUBMITTED/CURRENTLY DRY-DOCKED ******************************** USS HERMES CO: Commander Michael J. Halifax Sitrep by EJ ******************************** CO J'eran informs the senior staff that there was another way to explain their presence to the Juun. It seems that the Caitian Ambassador had created several trade agreements with the Juun, that had the potential to go sour with the current situation on the planet. Ambassador Av'ern wanted nothing to do with the trade renegotiations until he heard that the USS HERMES was the ship that was asking for the assistance. As a former commanding officer of the HERMES, Av'ern insisted on helping out the crew. Unfortunately, DS101 was under quarantine and the Ambassador was unable to leave as expected. This lead to several situations with the FO of DS101 and finally with Captain Alyza. Message was sent to the USS HERMES asking if a 3 day delay for the Ambassador would hinder the HERMES mission. Meanwhile, on the HERMES, the new FCO Ens. 'n Galeda contacts the CEO about creating several data ports at various locations around the ship where he could interface directly with the computer core. Newton, the ships AI computer takes this as a possible invasion. Newton is calmed by CSO Jynn dal Narmior who tells him that he will speak to the CEO about possible protection subroutines that could be added to the computer core. All around the ship, officers and noncoms alike are preparing for the arrival of the ambassador. They all know that he is Caitian, however, they do not know that he is Av'ern whom some of the enlisted men have served with and respect. After taking the computer core off-line for nearly 15 hours, the ship returned to the day crew and begins departure from SB OMEGA. It will take 8 days to reach the Juun system, however they will be stopping at a prearranged coordinate to pick up the Ambassador from D-Warp due to his delay in departure. ************************** Condor Squadron Commander ************************** Currently Vacant ************************** ***************** DS101 CO: Captain Alyza GM: Don Ratliff ***************** Caitian Ambassador Av'ern returns to the station, dissatisfied with the 'figure-head' duties of an Ambassador. LtCmdr J'eran, CO USS HERMES, contacts Av'ern for assistance with a matter concerning the Juun. Av' ern makes plans to take a D-Warp shuttle to the HERMES as soon as possible. An outbreak of Killisan's Viral Syndrome claims Capt Alyza as it first victim; leaving her deaf. Rumors of the Virus make the 'natives' restless; some are desperate enough to attempt to steal a shuttle.. With a quarantine in place, Av'ern's plans to leave are blocked by LtCmdr Fischer... at least until Av'ern has a somewhat physical discussion with the First Officer and Capt Alyza steps between the two. LtCmdr Tifflor arrives for duty in the midst of all the excitement. ************************** ********************************** USS NIGHTINGALE CO: Commander Pol Canon GM: Marc Boon ********************************** After all weapons are cleaned and stored away, another red alert sounded. The marines re-armed and got ready to re-deploy when the alien vessels appeared. The attacking ships surrendered, their crew invited to the 'Gale for discussion. Meanwhile, the two stranded shuttles are retrieved, and discussion what to do with 216 continues. The real Thayer is going through some real delirious episodes, thinking she's still captive. **********************************************************
