USS HORIZON
CO: Captain James Burke
GM: Ruud Visser
******************
*******************
Lt. Robert O'Brady, former OPS, is on Earth visiting his father in the
hospital.
LtCmdr. Arkanis, Lt Cady and their SpecOps team are reassigned to the
USS Renegade. They say their goodbyes and depart aboard the team's runabout.
Soon after, LtCmdrs. Davis Porter and Gendry Lockhart, husbands, arrive.
Lockhart will be the new ship's counsellor and chief diplomatic officer.
Porter, a scientist and part of the team that designed the Threin-class'
engines, is assigned as the new CEO. They meet with Captain Burke and
LtCmdr. Nova'Song. Porter befriended Nova'Song during their time together on
the design teams for the Threin class. After the meeting, Lockhart talks
briefly with LtCmdr. Einicrox about the security arrangements in place for
Ambassador Pendar and his delegation, and he passes by sickbay to meet Dr.
Biaret and get a quick physical. Biaret is still set on giving Starfleet
another try, but she isn't sure whether she'll succeed in her new
assignment. When her shift is over, she unwinds a bit in the garden between
the senior officers quarters. Nova'Song joins her and helps her take another
step on the way to a recovery from the pains of her past.
Porter heads to engineering and tells former aCEO Lt Reyan Jolan that he
can keep most parts of the job, since Porter has no desire to actually be
CEO. He'd much rather continue his research. Nova'Song knows this and offers
him the use of three of the science labs, as long as his research work
doesn't interfere with his CEO duties.
Jolan is afraid he won't be able to work with his new boss. Lt. Dayrider,
his only real friend aboard, consoles him a bit. Lockhart checks in with his
secretary, Alicia Breeze, and sets her to work on decorating the
counsellor's office and reception area to his style.
The Horizon arrives at Athel Loren II and LtCmdr. 'n Galeda fires up all the
ship's sensors. The Woodland Foundation's team's automatic sensors on the
surface remain unresponsive. The stasis field makes it impossible for the
Horizon's sensors to see anything of the team's camp site. Sensor readings
and communications from outside the system are also affected. No sensor
problems were reported by the Foundation's team. Porter, 'n Galeda and
Lt Greyhawk, the new chief of ops, discover that the sensor problems are
due to an interaction between the stasis field and the D-warp field from
Porter and Lockhart's shuttle.
Burke decides to send down several teams, setting up a base of operations on
an elevation halfway between the Foundation team's camp and the stasis
field. He will lead the away mission himself, while Nova'Song stays in
charge of the Horizon. Einicrox, CWO Walker, Ensign Davidovitch, Ensign
Tschobe and several other security personnel head down by shuttle to set up
the actual base--dubbed Valley Forge--and ensure its safety. 'n Galeda,
Greyhawk and Professor Arahan travel down in the Shackleton, the new science
survey vehicle. Porter follows with some bulky equipment in a cargo shuttle.
Burke, Ensign Ciate, Lockhart--who can hardly stand atmospheric flight--and
some additional personnel take the new multi-terrain/multi-role vessel.
Einicrox doesn't approve of Burke's leading the mission and she is
determined to let nothing happen to him. Biaret heads down in the equally
new emergency medical response vehicle Leonard McCoy. It is her first visit
to a planet in nearly six years.
Another new crew member arrives aboard the Horizon in the form of Ensign
Lucille Freeman, the assistant counsellor under LtCmdr. Lockhart. She
reports to the bridge, where Nova'Song just launched a communications buoy
because of the ongoing difficulties in getting anything out of the Athel
Loren system.
'n Galeda takes a preliminary scan of the stasis field and discusses his
findings with Porter. The CEO wants to get to work right away, but Einicrox
wants to secure the area first. Porter tells 'n Galeda he got permission
from her anyway. 'n Galeda doesn't believe him, but nonetheless accompanies
him and a couple of engineers to the first location where Porter will set up
equipment. Einicrox goes after Porter and wreaks havoc with his perimeter
alarms to make him think he's being overrun by wild animals. A generator is
damaged in the process and Porter is mad at Einicrox for proving her point
that way. He returns to Valley Forge. 'n Galeda thinks he is overreacting,
because the generator can easily be repaired. However, Porter doesn't want
to hear it. He flies back to the Horizon with a couple of engineers to get a
new one. Lockhart is just being treated by Biaret for his flight sickness
and he watches in silence.
Nova'Song moves the Horizon some distance away from the planet to
re-establish communications to outside the system. The Shackleton is put in
close orbit to act as a comm relay between the Horizon and the away teams.
She talks to Porter about what happened and tells him both he and Einicrox
were at fault. She says he can stay aboard if he wants to.
Burke tells Lockhart what happened and the counsellor offers to help seal
the breach between his husband and Einicrox. For lack of any further
counselling or diplomacy to do, he joins Biaret and Greyhawk in the MTMR to
take some samples from the nearby flora and fauna. Two security officers,
Ensigns Joanna Rickard and Ollie Llewpan, go along.
Einicrox oversees the rebuilding of the equipment camp near the stasis
field. The generator is repaired. Burke has a talk with her about her
actions against Porter, making it clear she was wrong and reminding her she
should stop acting on impulse. Later, Burke reassures Arahan the conflict
won't compromise the rescue mission.
One of the team members finds a PADD containing Dr. Naestra's science log.
'n Galeda breaks the password and gathers Burke, Einicrox and Arahan in the
EMRV to discuss its contents. The records relate the discovery of the stasis
field and the onset of trouble with the scientific and communications
satellites. Shortly after Dr. Naestra led a small team to the stasis field,
an earthquake struck. There were several signs that it wasn't a natural one.
The team entered a cave near the field, where they found a control centre.
The last log entry ends abruptly with an attack on Naestra and his team by
unknown forces.
Rickard is attacked by a flying dinosaur-like beast and it carries her up a
tall cliff, despite the injuries Lockhart inflicts with his phaser. The wind
is too strong for Lockhart, Biaret, Greyhawk and Llewpan to follow her in
the MTMR, so they have to climb up. A second dinosaur appears, drawn in by
the first one's cries of pain. It goes after Greyhawk. He falls down a
couple of meters, but is saved by the belay line. Biaret wants to climb down
to help him, but there's something wrong with the gear and no one can go up
or down anymore. She calls the base camp for help.
Ensign Abby Gibson, a forensic scientist, joins the officers on the planet
to investigate the Woodland Foundation's base camp and their camp near the
stasis field.
Burke takes the EMRV to the cliff. Einicrox and a medical team are with him.
He informs Nova'Song of the situation and asks for Porter to return, since
Arahan and 'n Galeda need his help on the stasis field. Porter does return,
but he beams directly to the EMRV because he's afraid Lockhart might be
injured. Biaret unties herself from the belay line and descents to
Greyhawk's location, where she ties herself in to his line. He is
unconscious and injured, but not critically. She stabilizes him as best as
she can. The first dinosaur picks Rickard back up and carries her into a
cave. Lockhart unties himself from his lines and climbs up the rest of the
cliff to go after her.

USS NIGHTINGALE
CO: Captain Pol Canon
GM: Doug
**************************************
The NIGHTINGALE unexpectedly receives a message from
the Frian Prime Minister expressing gratitude for
their recovery efforts, and with a sudden, and
suspicious, change of heart, invites the crew down to
the planet. He invites a diplomatic team to his
capital as well as medical/science team to assist in
transporting the wounded from the SILVER SWAN that
'GALE is carrying, to a military base hospital just
outside of the capital.
The SAR teams onboard the USS FLEMING and the USS
MAHONEY finish searching the wreckage of the STAR BIRD
for remains and return to the NIGHTINGALE to assist in
the identification of said remains. This is a massive
joint venture based out of the main Shuttle Bay by the
Marines, Medical, and Science. Unable to obtain
results that did not show mixtures by the computer
laser dissector instruments, they fall back onto older
fashioned manual chemical extraction methods, which
the new CSciO Austin is kind enough to prepare.
Unfortunately, he sends it off with the Marines with
no one to actually perform the extractions. Once
brought to his attention, he quickly corrects the
situation by sending one of his staff geneticists to
help.
Hanson, Syllis, Desmond, and Robert make preparations
for a diplomatic away team to beam down to the Frian
capital at the Prime Minister's invitation. All other
personal activities are put on hold by the team
members, and they make their way to the transporter
room having, once again, failed to extract any further
information from the two BERs. After receiving his
own personal communication, Canon unexpectedly joins
the team.
Once in the Prime Minister's reception, Canon, and
Canon alone, is invited into the Prime Minister's
personal office, much to the dismay of the rest of the
team. It can be hard to protect a captain, when he
goes off on his own.
