Fleet Sitrep for SD 13.0812 Cocoon Fleet News Service www.holoworld-startrek.org ********************************************************* Fleet Commanding Officer ~ Fleet Admiral Erin M. O'Connor ********************************************************* Fleet Executive Officer ~ Admiral Anna Karsten ********************************************************* *************************** Antelope Squadron Commander *************************** (currently vacant) *************************** *********** USS ARTEMIS *********** NO REPORT SUBMITTED/CURRENTLY DRY-DOCKED *************************** USS HAMILTON CO: Commander Judah Gibbons GM: Janet Gist *************************** CNS Logaan Woods and CSO Mercedes McCarter make their way down to Sickbay for some tests that may give them further insight into his seemingly spontaneous periods of irrationality. Instead of a few calm moments, being injected with dye, being scanned, listening to the doctors hmmm over the results, they (and everyone else aboard) are knocked to the floor by a telepathic scream that slices through their minds just as Sarah is being injected. Moments later, they have the added task of reassuring their crewmates that the shriek was not actually cause for alarm and that they should go back to whatever they had been doing. The captain, most likely still a bit worried about the goings on in his ship's medical bay, heads down to the planet with FO Miranda Sands to deal with feathers ruffled there over the question of jurisdiction in the earlier fiasco at the wedding reception. They successfully resolve the issue and Miranda, after being hit on by the official, escapes back to the ship while Judah heads off to meet Jolie for their scuba date. Since he has fully functional gills, they only have to rent one diving outfit before going out. The marine flora and fauna they discover is beautiful and amazing and they nearly go further out than would be wise, but they start back early enough. Until they come across a patch of water Judah calls 'funny-smelling.' When Jolie looks around to see where exactly he is, she spots Judah limply sinking into darker water. She swims after him, but he drifts out of sight before she can catch up. Several minutes of searching turn up neither hide nor hair and Jolie surfaces as rapidly as is safe to report the incident to the HAMILTON and the local authorities. Almost immediately, search teams arrive. Mercedes splashes in the instant she finishes donning her gear and FO Sands calls after her to wait for a team to go with her. Rather than listen to more reason, Mercedes turns off her communicator and makes her way to the coordinates Jolie had carefully recorded. She then takes a sample of the 'funny-smelling' water to be analyzed for abnormal chemical content, natural neurotoxins, or anything else that would explain what had happened. ********* USS SAGAN ********* NO REPORT SUBMITTED/CURRENTLY DRY-DOCKED **************************** Beaver Squadron Commander **************************** Branch Admiral Cathal Aguiar **************************** ****************** USS HORIZON CO: Captain Tergin GM: Ruud Visser ****************** ****************** USS ATHENE ****************** NO REPORT SUBMITTED/CURRENTLY DRY-DOCKED ******************************** USS HERMES CO: Commander Michael J.

A trade contract between the Cait and Vurtedions was signed. Before returning Roberts made a side-trip to Earth, something that Star Fleet had forbidden him to do. In the neutral area of space in the Amgine Sector, a three solar systems, complete with planets sudden appears. These systems disappeared 2000 years before and have just as suddenly reappeared. Capt Alyza prepares the HIKARU and staff to investigate the situation. All Senior Staff, including Cmdr Roberts, are ordered to prepare for departure. ************************** USS JOHN GLENN CO: Captain Richard Murphy GM: Adam West ************************** ********************************** USS NIGHTINGALE CO: Lieutenant-Commander Pol Canon GM: Mistie Smith (SitRep by Scott Bradley) ********************************** The Nightingale gets underway, planning to arrive at the Helnai homeworld within a day or two, and Stuart gets the ship underway in a very, ahem, novel fashion. (Alf voice) Ha! McCuen and Kel, researching the Helnai, find some medical information on the species that shows strange brainwave readings. These readings, however, were taken from spotty equipment and may not be entirely accurate. ***************************************************************** Cocoon Fleet Situation Intelligence Report (by Cmdr Seth Forster) ***************************************************************** UPDATED SD 13.0615 Na'stiu and Juun relations continue to be tense without progress from assigned diplomatic teams. 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. **********************************************************
