USS HAMILTON
CO: Captain Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
Momentarily paralyzed by the thought of 6 bombers heading toward CSO
Mercedes McCarter's location to dump their deadly loads, CNS Logaan
Woods shakes himself out of his reverie and begins speaking urgently
with Prime Minister Xark. Logaan's objective is to get him to halt the
attack on the race that shares the planet with Xark's own. Xark admits
that the payloads can be remotely detonated, but the death of the pilots
is something the HAMILTON counsellor wants to avoid. Logaan contacts CEO
Chandler T'krn-McCarter, who has been left in charge of the ship, and
asks if they can beam out the pilots. She replies that the planes are
made of the same sort of metal as the local buildings and are just as
invisible to their sensors. Beating his brain for more ideas on how to
remedy the situation, Logaan begins to feel a pang of helplessness.
Since the Away Team wouldn't even have a chance searching the city for
Malaka, Mediator Minuar Calvert's daughter, if they stayed together,
they decide to split up. Any split leaving only one officer with Minuar
would be less able to search effectively, however, so against her better
judgement FO Miranda Sands lets CSO Mercedes McCarter search alone.
Miranda, Minuar, and CSciO Jur Lehron the walk to and cross the city
square, lead by Minuar to a street where lost and orphaned children
live. Just as they are planning how they will search the buildings and
ask the children about Malaka, the Prime Minister's bombers arrive and
begin their assault on Kinaresh. A nearby explosion knocks the three
searchers off their feet and unconscious.
Mercedes, meanwhile, has been found in her hole by her earlier torturer,
the mind-invading artisan. As he looks hungrily down at her, she makes
it clear that she would rather rot in that hole than be pulled out and
taken anywhere by him. She is unprepared for the way he looks suddenly
away in alarm, jerks her from the hole, throws her over his shoulder,
and begins running. It is clear what made him so frantic though as the
plane bombardment rocks the city, freeing her from his grasp. Mercedes
is almost thankful for the overhead attack as she runs off into the
panic-stricken crowd.
Back aboard the HAMILTON, CNS Logaan Woods' ex-fiance has arrived and
pays a visit to Logaan's sister Sarah in Sickbay after dropping her
belongings off in her assigned quarters. Di Vinci mentions the
seriousness of Sarah's condition and Karen almost begs for a way to
help. When he admits that what she really needs is to be relocated to a
hospital in Wisconsin on Earth, Karen jumps at the chance to offer to
take her there. Di Vinci smiles at her eagerness, but reminds her Logaan
would have to ok it.

The crew relaxes at a party to celebrate the successful end of the
mission. Cady is reluctant to go, but after all but being carried in by
Arkanis, he actually finds himself unwinding a bit. He and Dr. Threin
spend most of the evening together, the CMO helping him to enjoy his
time. Captain Burke and his wife Kathryn are also present, as is Captain
Ingram from the Meade. He extends his thanks to Burke and his crew

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
and
USS NIGHTINGALE
CO: Commander Pol Canon
GM: Marc Boon
*****************
With Captain Alyza and Commander under attack from Juun Raptor-class
fighters, the HIKARU and NIGHTINGALE respond. The HIKARU makes a
strafing-run through the fighters, then heads in search of their
carrier-ship. Card and Goose launch HIKARU's shuttle to also engage
thefighters. Card is injured during the fight. Ensigns Zaxx and
MacKinnley, from the NIGHTINGALE, also press their attack. After a hard
fought engagement, the fighters are either destroyed or driven off.
Zaxx's runabout is fatally damaged, but he manages to beam aboard the
Deyhui freighter. The HIKARU finds the carrier in time to see it
withdrawing from the engagement.
Ens Zaxx, FCO NIGHTINGALE, discovers that the Deyhui freighter is badly
damaged - high radiation levels in most compartments and not much hope
of repair onsite. The Deyhui refuse use of the Transporter for their
rescue, so other arrangements are soon made. Goose and Card dock with
the freighter. Their shuttle is used to contact NIGHTINGALE. Medical and
Engineering teams are sent over and the evacuation begun. Enough repairs
are made for the NIGHTINGALE to take the freighter under tow to DS 101.
Meanwhile, back at DS 101 Roberts discovers that Alex Monee has been
transferred to INTEL's ship. Steven tells Roberts that INTEL has the
medical device to remove the neural program from Alex. Roberts,
convinced that INTEL does not know what they are dealing with, delays
their departure long enough to 'borrow' the medical device.
With the Deyhui rescued and transported to DS 101 aboard the HIKARU and
NIGHTINGALE, Alyza back in command, things settle back to a normal
routine. But 'normal' never seems to last long on DS 101. Lt Goose
delivers his report of the freighter incident to Capt Alyza, then
goes to Sickbay to check on Lt Card's recuperation The HIKARU and
NIGHTINGALE drive off the Juun fighters from the Deyhui freighter.
Surviving Deyhui are transferred to the NIGHTINGALE for passage to DS
101. Captain Alyza returns to the HIKARU and Commander Canon to the
NIGHTINGALE. Stuart brief Canon on the ship's situation. Ensign
McKinnley and Lieutenant Zaxx meet their Commanding Officer. Afterwards
Zaxx has a conversation with one of the Deyhui concerning use of the
transporter. McKinnley meets with his staff in The Swamp. Canon and
Ma'Kauran tries to talk Dr McCuen out of his decision to transfer once
the NIGHTINGALE arrives at DS 101. After dropping of her
passengers, the NIGHTINGALE spends a few hours re-supplying before
departing on her new mission.
