COCOON FLEET SITUATION REPORT SD: 90916 ******* SB OMEGA No report submitted. *** USS FENRIS The FENRIS is currently drydocked at Gaia Fleetyards. *** USS REGULATOR The REGULATOR is currently drydocked at Gaia Fleetyards. *** USS PHOENIX The PHOENIX is currently drydocked at Gaia Fleetyards. ******* Antelope Squadron: Commodore Saishan --- Outpost 721 After defeating the Lee, LMAJ MacCumhail set course back to the outpost with the rest of the participants of the drill, only to detect a warp signature of a Dominion ship, to which they gave chase. Ens. Bel and Colonel Bradley rescued PO S'Keth, Telkor and Tarleya from the turbolift on the stricken Lukja, but on the way to Main Engineering, PO S'Keth was killed by a mystery assassin. The remaining four headed for the Airlock, after failing to get the transporters online. A Gem'Hadar soldier was waiting for them and after a fight, Ens. Bel managed to kill him only to be critically injured when two more Gem'Hadar materialised. Lt Telkor managed to persuade Ka'Varr, the leader of the Gem'Hadar, to take Ens. Bel with them to receive medical attention, when Ka'Varr forced Telkor to accompany him back to the Dominion ship. *** USS ATHENE No report submitted. *** USS CLARK As the Clark streaked towards the Cocoon Portal at warp speed, her progress was interrupted by a small feline that got loose in engineering. The kitty entered a warp power transfer conduit, causing the computer safety systems to automatically take the warp engines off line. Ens. Van Alrik's engineering teams were able to safely restore warp power, but the kitty escaped into the jefferies tubes surrounding engineering. The search is on, led by Lt. Connery's marines. Upon arrival at the Portal, the Clark proceeded along to the Arkanis system, where they were met by the Cardassian courier vessel Dukat. Cardassian Ambassador Ghetorr and his aide, Dhear beamed over shortly after. The crew believes that they may have detected a cloaked vessel shadowing them within the limits of the Arkanis system. Lt. Bronwynn Sheridan, the CSciO, has been billeted to the position of First Officer. Upon the arrival of the Xerxes, a senior staff breifing was called. *** USS LOKI The two away teams on the planet's surface were reunited when Plitz Renard's truck carrying those from the mountain down into the forest and ran into the crew of the TRON. While it is unlikely that they would now be identified as offworlders, the team is still cautious. Meanwhile, the LOKI decended through the shield at a slow 10 kph and has established communication of sorts with Firestorm on the way team. The communication is limited to yes or no answers by Firestorm, as Spilling wants to take no chances on having the conversation overheard by whomever is driving the truck in which they are riding. Left hand means yes, right hand means no. ****** Beaver Squadron: Commodore Duncan Armax --- USS HORIZON The Horizon has picked up a body floating in space which has been confirmed to be Commodore Calvin DiFalco. While the Commodore was resting, he was atacked in sickbay. The reasons for his return are still unknown. *** USS KATANA No report submitted. *** USS SAGAN No report submitted. *** USS XERXES A party was held in 10 Forward for the newly promoted officers. Lt. Zahn, the new OPS officer, was joined there by the Captain for a drink. The partygoers were soon joined by Commander Davis and the new CSO, LtCmdr Magwa. Later, Captain Careth received a subspace transmission from LtCmdr Zar, who covertly warned him of a possible cloaked enemy vessel hiding in the Arkanis system. Captain Careth fully understood the message, and proceeded with due caution. Hours later, the Xerxes had successfully passed through the portal and arrived in the Arkanis system. However before they reach the rendezvous point, Admiral Johnathon Turner, the CinC of Starfleet himself intercepted the Xerxes in a specially designed runabout. Admiral Turner informed Captain Careth that he was aboard to personally oversee the negotiations. When the Clark and the Xerxes did finally rendezvous, Careth transported over the the Clark for the briefing. ****** Condor Squadron: Commodore Datun Yanten --- DS 101 Lt Taavek had passed through a holodeck simulation/test prepared by Cmdr Alyza to make him understand the importance of the chain of command. Lt. Zack Hogan had made a quick survey of El Sombra's shop, causing him some emotion, but not much trouble. Ens Hi'Wee, the CEO, was recalled on SB Omega, leaving behind CPO Romana Stewart as temporary replacement. Commodore Yanten has been informed of the destruction of USS Hector, somewhere in the vicinity of SB Omega. The Hetargot have brought more equipment and supplies for their Embassy. Tinkerbell has paid a visit to Lt Taavek just before his release from confinement, helping him understand the reasons why he is devoted to a man he never met. *** USS HECTOR The USS HECTOR was destroyed by a warp-core breach as it closed in on SB OMEGA - all but 15 crew escaped alive. The destruction is being treated as suspicious and is under investigation by OMEGA personel. The 'saucer' of the USS HECTOR has embedded itself within the rock of the asteroid on which OMEGA base is built...just a few kilometres away from the base itself - a assistant FCO was able to avoid direct colision with the base. *** USS CURIE The away team of Tlenax, Kelen, Wills and Noren are down on the planet. On the planet they found a girl that was chained to a tree. They freed the girl just as a huge beast known as a Darg was about to eat her. They hurried for cover behind a hill. Kelen and the others opened fire on the thing but didn't have much effect. They launched a grenade and took off a limb. The Darg spit fire at them before it was destroyed. Kelen fired on the girl saying that she was about to run. The away team has found themselves on a planet of ‘Evil Q'. They have found a child Q that is evil. They were put on trial, and are trying to prove that they are only explorers and not meanining any harm to the planet. The away team found themselves without thier weapons. They also found a place called the Sanctuary where the Evil Q have no control. The Captain and a select few are preparing to make their way down to the planet as well. *** USS HERACLES Ensign Kuvok, half Vulcan and half Klingon, has joined the ship as the new CSO. The Dergrad imposter which had replaced Lt. Evans has been sedated and is being kept under tight security. The Heracles' crew is now turning it's attentions towards completing the mission and locating the real Lt. Evans. ****** Intelligence Report for Cocoon Fleet - Commander Tulok Outside the Cocoon talks are underway to establish a Neutral Zone between the Cardassians and the planets occupied by the Klingon Empire. The hope is that such a zone will stabilise the region. Federation representatives are talking to both sides to encourage a treaty. Near the Portal, raids have been made on civilian transports. Food and materials have been stolen and entire ships (and their crews) have been destroyed. StarFleet is investigating the incidents but no evidence has come to light as yet. The raiders have so far avoided the detection of the USS LaFeyette, guarding the Portal. The USS KATANA has been ordered to investigate following the destruction of the USS DECKER, a THUNDERBOLT-class gunboat. The DS 101 area(the Amgine Sector) is currently stable; the presence of the new Fleet XO, Commodore Yanten seeming to offer a degree of security. How long this will last is unknown at this time. Na-Chem activity has greatly reduced recently. Respectfully Submitted, Tom Doyle, Fleet GM for Holoworld
