Fleet Sitrep for SD 15.0216 Cocoon Fleet News Service www.holoworld-startrek.org ********************************************************* Fleet Commanding Officer ~ Fleet Admiral Erin M. O'Connor ********************************************************* acting Fleet Executive Officer ~ Admiral S'Telk ********************************************************* *************************** Antelope Squadron Commander ***************************(currently vacant) *************************** *************************** USS HAMILTON CO: Captain Judah Gibbons GM: Janet Gist *************************** CSO Mercedes McCarter deploys her motley bunch at an intersection in the disabled enemy vessel. Her civilian brother, Yossarian, and Marc, a member of her staff, are sent toward living quarters. OPS Mara Thull and Thomas, another Security man, are sent down to the shuttlebay and Du'grath and Mercedes head for the bridge. Mara and Thomas almost immediately become involved in a firefight. They take one fellow out quickly, then settle into one dashing closer while the other covers, then the first covering for the second until they have the 3 conscious resistors pinned. At Mara's call to surrender, 2 come out, but Thomas signals that the third has readied to ambush them and she calls him on it. When he comes wisely out to surrender, though, he makes the unwise choice to insult Mara, a Klingon. Quite conscious of her orders to bring back her prisoners unharmed, Mara uses her blade on her own hand, dribbling her blood over the smartmouth's head and saying her blood is on him until his insult is washed away with his blood. He freaks out, telling Thomas to get him away from this weirdo, and they shortly --are-- beamed over to some nice Security cells over on the HAMILTON. Then, Mara reports their area clear. Planetside, the shuttle and CSciO Tyvek both are unlikely to ever leave the surface. A primitive weapon, possibly similar to a rocket launcher, rendered most of the shuttle systems useless midflight, resulting in a spectacular crashlanding that it is startling that anyone came out of. Yet, survive aCO Miranda Sands did, waking some distance from the shuttle where someone had left her. After looking through the shuttle's remains and finding Tyvek's, Miranda climbs the mound of earth plowed up by the shuttle nose and clambers up onto the roof. An odd menagerie of individuals, Human, Ferengi, Somethingorother, eventually gather around the wreck and aim energy weapons as varied as themselves at her. She contacts HAMILTON for a rescue party, provoking the startlement of her audience (apparently their jammer isn't working). She then lays down on the shuttle, shading her eyes from the sun with one arm, not particularly caring now whether the 'locals' carry her off or not, since she is such a rotten commander as to allow one of her officers to be killed practically before he even has time to raise an eyebrow at the peculiarities of their ship. When CNS Logaan Woods arrives with rescuers drawn primarily from Security, Miranda has vanished though Tyvek is still where he fell. ********* **************************** Beaver Squadron Commander **************************** (currently vacant) **************************** ****************** USS HORIZON CO: LtCmdr James Burke GM: Ruud Visser ****************** SOXO Nathan Cady is very displeased to have his boyfriend, OPS D'Art Storm, seeing him in his current condition. CMO Electra Threin administers the first dosage of the antidote she has been able to create now that she has access to the Joyean medical databases. As Cady drifts off into sleep, she reassures D'Art that Cady didn't mean all that he said. Knowing it's only a matter of time before Joye goes nova, Lt Awk and Lt. Yudel help Troj'an, one of the Joyeans from the Pri-Sat, retrieve stored data. Meanwhile, CNS Stan the Man is making good progress in curing Ensign Oqqre from his aichmophobia. ************************ USS ATHENE CO: Cpt Demetrius Simms GM: Currently Vacant SITREP by: Clark Goble *********************** NO REPORT SUBMITTED/CURRENTLY DRY-DOCKED ******************************** USS HERMES CO: Commander Michael J. Halifax GM: Currently Vacant ******************************** NO REPORT SUBMITTED ************************** Condor Squadron Commander ************************** Branch Admiral Demitrius Simms. ************************** ***************** DS101 CO: Captain Alyza GM: Don Ratliff ***************** FO Cmdr Thar Emond writes a letter home to his family before boarding the HIKARU. Cmdr Roberts, LtCmdr Julian Tifflor and the First Technician of the Usari Fleet proceed with converting space aboard DS 101 for Usari use. The HIKARU, accompanied by the Usari vessels, enter the corridor through Vurtedion space that the Vurtedion government have allowed them to use to reach the Usari homeworld. Several Vurtedion vessels monitor their progress, just as they will monitor NIGHTINGALE's and PERTH's passage several days later. Cmdr Fischer, now commanding the YEARGER, sends Hunter a letter relating his recent activites and how much he misses her. Katie, upset at Kersh choosing to go on the mission and leave her at the station - thus delaying the marriage, takes her son and departs the station. She leaves only a not to Kersh to be delivered after his departure. ************************** ********************************** USS NIGHTINGALE CO: Commander Pol Canon GM: Marc Boon ********************************** Nalon tries to force Staurt into giving away McCuen's position. As he gets to seriously injuring Stuart, McCuen appears from behind a holographic wall and shoots down the changeling, Carbonizing him. Maka helps McCuen in getting Stuart to sickbay and mends his broken rib. After a few hours a meeting is held, where most off the crew is promoted and awards are awarded. Thayer: Promoted to Lieutenant, awarded DSM and WL Awarded Terraformer award Zaxx: Awarded Riker Award MacKinnley: Promoted to Lieutenant (junior grade) Awarded Viper Badge Dalob: Promoted to Lieutenant (junior grade) Awarded Viper Badge Ma'kauran: Promoted to Lieutenant Commander, awarded DSM Kari: Awarded Mot Certificate Stuart: Promoted to Commander, awarded DSM and Blue Ribbon Cannon: Promoted to Captain Ens. Mac Giolla Phadriag suggests daily holotime for the abled Usari on their next mission. Thayer recomends a crew reduction to minimum to be able to accomodate maximm Usari. It is clear things will have to be coordinated with the HIKARU crew. Pol and Maka spend some recreational time on the holodecks, where they meet a Lion, who knows of Maka's origins. ************************************ ************************************* USS YEAGER CO: Commander Rudolf Fischer GM: Currently Vacant SITREP by: Paul Raven ************************************* The crew start examining all possible known reasons that could be connected with the relay troubles in an effort to ensure they are fully prepared for whatever it is that they actually find when they arrive. The mutant seed is still the only piece of 'hard' evidence they have found and as Naalauilos points out there could be any number of reasons for the alteration in its DNA, Subspace anomalies are one possibility but she wouldn't know more till she gets a chance to take readings on the relay stations themselves. The meeting begins to draw to a close with the Romulan managing to make routine 'common-sense' preparations sound like a pompous longwinded order. Following the meeting the Captain addresses some of his lovesickness by sending a message to Hunter on DS101 whilst Naalauilos gets back to work analysing the seed, finally cracking the genetic code to find it had once been a normal Jasmine plant.. Though what exactly that it was now was still anybody's guess. **************************************** ********************************************************** Contact: Don Ratliff, Fleet GM ratliff [at_symbol]tsixroads.com or fleetgm [at_symbol]yahoogroups.com **********************************************************
