Fleet Sitrep for SD 18.1211 Cocoon Fleet News Service www.holoworld-startrek.org ********************************************************* Fleet Commanding Officer ~ Fleet Admiral Erin M. O'Connor ********************************************************* Fleet Executive Officer ~ Admiral Tando Landi ********************************************************* **************************** Beaver Squadron Commander **************************** (currently vacant) **************************** ****************** USS HORIZON CO: Captain James Burke GM: Nina ****************** Lt Epona O'Leary is piloting the USS HORIZON. They are close to the Telmarc Cease Fire Line, the two mystery ships are still tailing them. A new contact is identified as the 'luchrupán', a small vessel formerly encountered by Epona. The new ship is placed between the HORIZON and the other two ships, which keep their distance to the luchrupán. Epona thinks that the luchrupán might be here to protect the HORIZON. Captain Burke decides to leave an observation buoy at the CFL with permission of the Crown Prince to keep an eye on all three ships. Then the HORIZON enters Deserte space. LtCmdr Vymora Einicrox strongly suspects that the luchrupán is interested more in Epona than in the HORIZON, but she keeps these thoughts to herself for now. She is reminded of the infamous Gary Mitchell and the Galactic Barrier. Vymora suspects that Epona might have something similar ahead of her as Mitchell had. In the lounge, Akeen Ghorev is mulling over the Vymora-problem when he is visited by two people from HORIZON's security force. They offer Akeen a deal profitable to both sides. They don't notice that they are being overheard by the Ferengi barkeeper. The observation buoy is launched. Crown Prince Jehune Tamal invites Cpt Burke and his senior officers to be his guests on Deserte. Burke accepts and asks Epona and Kallesin to organize the arrival on Deserte. Later, Epona is in her quarters packing her bag when suddenly she has a vision of a tall furry man and a wild stallion. The hallucinations trouble her and she suppresses them. In the lift to the shuttlebay she meets the counselor, Gendry Lockhart, who quickly notices that something has happened to her. Lockhart insists on travelling on the Captain's yacht which Epona will be piloting. Suddenly there is an attack on D-level. The officers on the bridge are unable to raise the Crown Prince or any of the assigned security teams there over the intercom and begin to evacuate D level as life support is failing there. At the same time five warships from Deserte appear on an intercept course and threaten to stop the HORIZON and the illegitimate ruler, Prince Tamal. Epona and Lt William Greyhawk at OPS do their best to evade the warships and counter any attacks so that Vymora is free to coordinate the search and rescue of Prince Tamal. Vymora wonders if both the internal and the external attack were coordinated, but she is too busy to think about it. She worries about the safety of the Prince and has transporter control beam up all Deserte natives currently on the HORIZON and then deposite each in a separate holding cell in the brig. In addition, she has more security teams stand by to enter D level. LtCmdr Kallesin n'Galeda leaves the bridge to fix life support. Down inside a Jeffrey's tube he finds electronic chaos and the remnants of a bomb. The damage is extensive and will take hours to repair. As he reports this to the bridge, the captain orders him down to D level to help search for the crown prince. ******************* ************************************************* ************************** USS HERMES CO: LtCmdr T'al GM: EJ ************************** *************************************************** ************************** Condor Squadron Commander ************************** Branch Admiral Earle Hayes. ************************** ***************** DS101 CO: Captain Alyza GM: Theresa ***************** No activity to report. ************************ ************************************ USS NIGHTINGALE CO: Captain Pol Canon GM: Marco ************************************** Captain Fisher, Hanson, Austin and Park are forced to participate in a holodeck scenario going up against a Bird-of-Prey aboard Parks´ Firemoth. Mao'Syllis notices a strange Azure color that she identifies as a second intruder. On the holodeck Lo'sh'vo'ra' ri'to'pa' ta re-powers the already beaten Bird-of-Prey for the challenge to continue. Only when the NIGHTINGALE crew nearly destroys the Bird do they get a chance to leave the holodeck again. In the meantime Syllis finds David Karides and also finds that the man is not as much in control of the situation as everyone believed so far. The respire on the holodeck is only brief however, after a moment Fisher and Comp find themselves back in the engine room of the Firemoth as Romulan shock troops are beamed in. During a short fire fight Fischer notices a strange colored fog that begins to spread in the engine room. Austin reads electrical activity, reading similar to humanoid brain wave patterns in the fog. After a few minutes the fog finally dissipates and the NIGHTINGALE crew is able to leave the holodeck. Mao'Syllis in the meantime manages to speak to Karides. Apparently he found an alien intelligence adrift in space and intelligence that evolved and that now controls both him and the strange events aboard the NIGHTINGALE. Still Karies has enough free will left to help Syllis in a plot to drive the alien entity off. They manage to drive the being Syllis calls "the Azure" off the ship but David Karides dies a painful death, trying to correct his earlier mistakes. The cleanup aboard the NIGHTINGALE begins. Suddenly an unknown ship shows up, claiming the intruder was one of their probes. They request and are granted permission to board the GALE to remove the program that is still hiding in the ships replicators. Afterwards Captain Fisher comments his old / new crew in his log entry as various crew members go about their normal lives again and prepare for a meeting. **************************************** **************************************** **************************************** Respectfully Submitted Don Fleet GM fleetgm-put the at symbol here -yahoogroups -put a dot here - com Yahoo!
