USS HAMILTON
CO: Commander Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
Rescued from toxic sludge and the Winston brothers, CO Judah Gibbons now
has to survive Jolie McCarter's bedside vigil over him. Weakened and
ashen-skinned from the ooze he encountered during their dive, he gets
nothing but shushes from Jolie and none of the medical staff seem
available to come to the rescue.
aCSO Chandler McCarter however does come to the rescue of the Treehouse
Lounge staff, rescuing them from her husband's drunken caterwauling.
After surreptitiously injecting him with something to sober him up,
Chandler lets Yossarian know that his nemesis, the captain, was
recovered alive, but he refuses to let that get him down, commenting
that they are still on their honeymoon and that's plenty to celebrate.
The next day, FO Miranda Sands makes a discovery worth celebrating.
Having snuck into Tino Winston's office, she hacks into his and his
brother's messages, finding evidence that the twins are raking in the
dough by illegally dumping toxic chemicals for an out-of-system company.
Feeling a bit under the weather from her progressing bacterial
infection, Miranda goes to the HAMILTON lounge to order a particular
drink from her uncle (the bartender) that tends to make her feel better.
CSO Mercedes McCarter is there, feeling the affects of the same
affliction, and the FO asks her uncle for two doses of the restorative.
They wind up making their order to go though, when the doctor arrives,
chasing the two "medicophobes" from their haven to a new hiding place in
the quarters of Mercedes' Texan friend, Carter Gillespie, who is still
planet-side.

USS HORIZON
CO: Captain Tergin
GM: Ruud Visser
******************
The heavily damaged drive section launches a probe to attract the
saucer's attention. aCEO Bordak comes up with the idea to use the
combined warp power from the shuttles to tow the drive section from the
nebula. However, as the aCSciO finds, it would take them over six months
to escape that way. Preferring to be home sooner than that, FO Ayden
decides to pack the remaining crew in a shuttle and a runabout. After
setting ten torpedoes to destroy the ship, the two crafts leave. Hours
later, they are picked up by the saucer. What none of the crew knows,
however, is that the drive section has been saved from destruction by
their adversary Thylassa Korian.
CEO Dariale escapes her kidnappers and returns to the Horizon. When the
SpecOps team has also arrived back aboard, the journey home begins. The
USS Mauritania sets course for the wormhole connecting the Andromeda and
Milky Way galaxies, the Horizon's saucer in tow behind her. As things
settle down a bit, Bordak discusses his situation with Captain Tergin.
The CO tells him he has to forget about his counterpart, and live his
own life. In the lounge, Ayden and Captain Diak have a talk about losing
crew under your command, and the need for everyone to have company. The
FO ends up inviting Diak to join him for a holodeck exercise the next
morning, and the Andorian captain gladly agrees. Shortly later, the
saucer exits the wormhole, and the crew is back in the Cocoon.

*****************
Kersh and Dryden find references to the Three Stars in Hetgarot fiction,
a tale of star-crossed lovers. The story hints to the presence of a
fourth star, as yet unfound.
Somewhere else in the universe a being awakens from his stasis unit.
This being, who calls himself 'The Instrument', awakens now because the
'One' has been found. He begins his subspace voyage to the area of the
Three Stars. As his ship emerges from subspace, it collides with the
HIKARU, breaks in half. One half falls back into subspace, the other
breaks apart. The Instrument is rescued by the HIKARU. Although
severely injuried, he response to Dr Poynton's treatment and relates his
engimatic tale to all. He relates no that 'The One' has been found, the
'Great Work' will be completed. He, himself, does not know where 'The
One' is, nor what the 'Great Work' will be. Not knowing quiet what to
make of the Story, Fischer agrees that 'The Instrument' may accompany
the HIKARU on their investigation of the Three Stars. A Security escort
is provided and 'The Instrument' is shown about the ship.
Capt Alyza and Cmdr Tuvar are injured in the collision. Alyza
fortunately has only a mild concussion and is soon up and about. Tuvar
remains in Sickbay, stable but unconscious.
Roberts and the Ratchets begin repair damages sustained in the
collision.

USS NIGHTINGALE
CO: Lieutenant-Commander Pol Canon
GM: Mistie Smith
(SitRep by Scott Bradley)
**********************************
The away team, consisting of Stuart, Thayer, Mrell, Wral, Kennala, and
redshirt Boman (which I believe is ancient Greek for "cannon fodder" -
or would that be "Canon fodder?"), arrives on the planet. Unknown to
them, the Helnai president has alterior motives, and has set some kind
of mysterious plot into motion against the Nightingale and her crew.
Mrell, in search of information, vanishes and reappears minutes later,
in search of "the lavatory." Hmm. I didn't know Cardassians did that
sort of thing. Anyways, the rest of the away team, uneasily assessing
the situation, conclude that something is amiss with the Helnai. Mrell
returns, and the negotiations commence with little progress.
Back on board the Nightingale, McCuen discovers that the psis onboard
the ship have been afflicted with visions that they believe are the
ghosts of loved ones lost. These visions seem to accompany a fatigue in
those afflicted, which include Commander Canon. Pol, told by Paly'n to
rest, does so and gives Paly'n the bridge. Stuart and the away team,
convinced that the Helnai are stalling, report the negotiations' status
to the Nightingale, and Stuart plans some late-night reconnaissance
planetside. Heh, heh.
Ensign Kel, working on a cure for the Helnai's schizophrenia, comes
across what seems to be a meeting of the ship's psis, who appear to have
been transformed physically, and are planning an attack on the ship. The
"darkling" Canon attacks Kel, and the CSciO seals the psis in as he is
struck by a phaser. After awakening in sickbay, he and Paly'n discuss
the situation, and Kel, in Astrometrics, discovers that the Nightingale
may be trapped in a spiderweb ot sorts. He discovers that the Helnai
have telepathic abilities, and discovers what he believes to be a
cloaked array concealed behind a nearby planet. McCuen tells him to take
a shuttle to the planet, as the away team may be in some sort of danger.

false.

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.
