USS HAMILTON
Captain Antonio Leeds
GM: Janet Gist
*********************

As HAMILTON's shore leave approaches, everyone makes plans and CSO 
Mercedes McCarter comes up with a great get-to-know-one-another plan 
for the senior staff. Karaoke! CO Antonio Leeds excuses himself from 
the singing shindig and invites Mercedes instead to a poker game 
between himself, FO Judah Gibbons, and a few of the other senior 
officers. Mercedes first time dockside turns a bit sour when her ex-
fiance, who she just wrote a gently-closing-things-off-between-them 
letter to, finds her in the crowd and kisses her passionately just as 
her new boyfriend, OPS Zac Bentley arrives! Zac disappears into the 
crowd before Mercedes can explain.

---USS DESIRE (USS HAMILTON Command Graade Training)---

Mister Mallorn, the infiltrator they have in the brig, continues to 
insist that the Orion mother ship is actually a mildly intelligent, 
space-dwelling creature reminding CSciO Sudak of Gomtuu whom the USS 
ENTERPRISE investigated. The HIROSHIMA arrives and several DESIRE 
crewmembers board the support vessel to rescue the remaining nine 
prisoners. After they return, the Orions launch 25 interceptors to 
destroy the HAWKING and let no one have it. DESIRE and HIROSHIMA 
destroy or disable 13 before ten more are launched as reinforcements. 
The space creature, with insufficient guards to hold it, emerges from 
the nebula and destroys 1/4 of the fighters and disables many more 
with a single blast. The remaining Orions flee the area and the 
creature flashes complex light signals to the SF vessels before 
slipping back into the nebula. The mission essentially over, CO 
Joanne Carters and FO Jill Landon-Leeds are left with paperwork and 
their duty to their fallen comrades, but, after leaving them to their 
solemn duty for a while, their HAMILTON CO Antonio Leeds ends the 
simulation and orders them to go nowhere near their offices for three 
days.

USS HORIZON
Captain Tergin
GM: Ruud Visser
***************

(The Horizon is currently investigating a dark matter anomaly in the 
Katarian sector.)

Or'Nonya tells Tergin what he knows about dark matter nebulas, and 
Tergin decides to hold position, rather than going for the center, as 
suggested earlier by the 'ghosts' from the nebula. After a talk to 
his holoprogram, CMO Bill Patton visits CSciO Melody Cuen. He 
suggests to look for a way to convert the dark matter into normal 
matter. Hoping to get a better understanding of the situation, CNS 
Jay McMadeth talks Maggy into showing him what it is like inside the 
nebula.

On the Dakota, Leyson Ayden's plan is carried out despite objections 
from the ship's CO. Using neutrino emissions, the ship starts firing 
a corridor through the anomaly to where they have calculated the 
Horizon to be. Their actions result in Tergin and Maggy collapsing. 
>From what Maggy is able to tell and from what Tergin has heard from 
his mate, the Horizon crew concludes that someone is still alive on 
research station Arkon, deep inside the nebula. Whether his 
intentions are good or bad remains to be seen. On the Dakota, they 
have found the Horizon on sensors, as well as what appears to be RS 
Arkon.

USS ATHENE
Commander Krwn
GM Kathy Ruether
****************

On the decision on who should go along for the away mission, Lt. 
Sands decides on the Dr. Morit to be ready for casualties, the 
Hollander twins, Lt. Shawn Day, Ensign Jorden for her abilities 
in science, and Ensign Jur for his negotiation abilities.  The 
Hollander twins will be used as a secret weapon against the Talosians 
because of how they confused Admiral Evers.

Ab calls Jorden in for a check-up since she has not already.  Morit 
is infatuated with the FCO and ends up rambling while Jorden drifting 
in and out of their conversation.  He asks for Jur to come to sickbay 
in order to return Krwn back to his real body by keeping him 
occupied.  Azelda Blei soon to be Dr. Azelda Blei is also to help out 
in the telepathic part of the process.  It is then decided that Jur 
and Azelda are to combine abilities to transfer Krwn's mind to his 
body.

DS 101
Captain Alyza
GM Don Ratliff
**************

Dr. Villeray completes a preliminary report on Ensign Knicks' 
condition.  The tests show massive tissue damage, the cause of which 
will have to wait until the HIKARU's return to DS-101.

Captain Alyza and her away team (Lt. Cady, Dr. Villeray, Ensign 
Goose) arrives on the planet's surface to be greeted by President 
Akamai.  The President informs Alyza that many years ago the Gortu 
had reclaimed vast areas of land from the sea to provide swampy 
living areas.  It was these areas which sustained most of the 
earthquake damage, with the sea reclaiming the living spaces.  The 
increased swamp lead to an increase in the methane concentration in 
the atmosphere and damage to the ozone layer.  Cady gets an 
introduction to a local welcoming ceremony, The Bringing Cake.  The 
USS ZAHAL, commanded by Lt. Cmdr. Batya Bitzalel,  arrives in-system 
with the ATLANTIS to lend assistance.

Back at DS-101, the USS LEGACY and Lt. Cmdr. John Roberts returns 
after an absence of several months.  Lt. Cmdr. Roberts is severely 
injured some time prior to arrival and is taken for medical 
attention.  There was an open arrest order for Roberts and the crew 
for desertion and they are placed under Security's control.  The 
LEGACY's arrival causes a subspace tunnel, through which the LEGACY 
traveled from Xu'sorfian space, to remain open.  No one knows what 
happened to the LEGACY while it was gone.  But the possibility of war 
exists because of what happened with the LEGACY on her voyage.

USS NIGHTINGALE
LtCmdr Pol Canon
GM Mistie Smith
****************

~~Still in orbit of the planet~~

Payl'n is slightly over whelmed by all that is happening. Finding the 
captain in gone and now Cannon is in charge, that there is a new 
counselor he has to meet, having Romulan patients, an overzealous CSO 
and also having to be at a Formal evening in twenty mintues. The 
captain gets ready, he is met by an old friend Abigail and together 
they join the formal evening.

One by one, the rest of the crew get ready for the dinner and 
arrive.  Meeting old friends and making new ones. The new counselor, 
having not yet uploaded her holographic nanny, finds a sitter for 
Jaden and also attends the dinner. The dinner party is going on just 
lovely, but unknown, 400km away from Tallen City, on the planets 
surface. A man in a virus growth labratory, unwittingly tears his 
containment uniforma and infects him and many, many more with the 
deadly virus.

As the party rages on, on the Nightingale. On the planet one is about 
to begin....

Cocoon Fleet Situation Intelligence Report (by Adm. Elisabeth Davies)
*********************************************************************
UPDATED SD 13.0120

The Federation/Na'Chem Ceasefire is still in effect.  Although, the 
Na'Stiu faction continues with efforts to upset the Ceasefire.  
StarFleet vessels have been dispatched to attempt to negotiate with 
the Na'Stiu and provide peacekeeping defense.  The USS SELEYA is 
currently pursuing negotiation efforts while the XERXES and ZEUS have 
been patrolling areas of intense Na'Stiu activity.

Diplomatic relations with the Juun are still considered to be in 'a 
tense period' and talks have been initiated to resolve the 
situation.  Captain Mara Nemec, Juun StarFleet officer, has been 
assigned to the Juun homeworld to attempt to repair the situation 
which has recently escalated after riots in the Vu'rain province and 
the trial of several doctors believed to be responsible for the 
Genetic Experimentation scandals.  This news comes only 10 months 
since a team led by Captain Alyza of DS 101 uncovered evidence that 
the Juun Union was indeed developing a weapon of mass destruction.  
The lives of many Seekers were lost during the investigation which 
ended on SD 12.0501.

The recent temporal anomalies prevalent in the Cocoon seem to have 
waned, although official reports are still unavailable at this time.

Recent departure of Admiral Fergal McKewan has caused restructuring 
in the Cocoon Fleet Command.  McKewan has been replaced on interim 
basis by field-promoted Fleet Admiral Fuschia Tino.  Captain 
Elisabeth Davies, recently made Head of Cocoon Fleet Intelligence has 
been given a field promotion to Admiral and named as interim Fleet 
Executive Officer.  All Squadron Commander positions are currently 
unfilled and the interim brass is in process of searching for 
successors.  Captain Ardeous Brockman will be in command of the 
continuing clean-up of SFIntel in the Cocoon and Commander Foster 
Ryan has been assigned as new Chief Training Officer for the Fleet.

Amgine Sector Report (by Lt. Alac Nond)
***************************************

DEEP SPACE 101 has seen much activity as its engineering capability's 
are undergoing a major upgrading. Also facilities for accommodating 
its new role as a secondary command centre in the event of 
catastrophe befalling SB OMEGA are in the process of being added.  
Work progresses slowly but the facilities are nearly completed.

OP108 has completed installation of its orbital docking platform and 
commercial and Fleet activity continues to grow in the area.  Recent 
disappearance of the ships in the area has prompted Fleet Command to 
send the USS COCHRANE, now cleared of framed treason charges, to 
investigate the space around OP 108 and the Andromeda wormhole.

The Noo'ach Peace and Trade Conference was extremely successful, 
resulting in many new trade and diplomatic relations being 
established with several new races.  Although a mobile anomaly 
appeared in the area, nearly causing the destruction of the USS 
HORIZON, USS HIKARU and a Hetgarot vessel, the conference was spared 
any turmoil.  The Hetgarot concerns about the recent elevated 
activity near OP 108 has been eased due to the success of the 
conference.

Beyond the Portal (by LtCmdr. Eli Meyman)
*****************************************

Relations with the Klingon Empire have improved steadily since the 
completion of the New Khitomer Concorde.  The Cardassian Union 
continues to make no official comment on the situation, but 
intelligence shows military activity at a minimum within the Union.

Fleet yards across the Federation have been putting in extra efforts 
and brought the capacity of Starfleet's Fleet's back up to what they 
were. The ship yards are now slowing their production of starships 
and focusing on developing new designs that require less personnel, 
as what Starfleet lacks now is the personnel to staff the ships.  All 
Starfleet Fleets have regained their strengths.

The new Tecumseh-class battle cruiser, the first ship to be produced 
exclusively in the Cocoon has been retitled the USS ATHENE, in honor 
of the previously destroyed ATHENE.  Although the ATHENE's current 
mission is TOP SECRET, Command has confirmed that the majority of the 
mission will take place outside of the Cocoon.  All eyes in the 
Federation are awaiting results of the Tecumseh-class' maiden voyage, 
as production may begin at non-Cocoon shipyards.

Recent activity on the Tholian border has resulted in increased 
monitoring. No military threat is perceived at this time.
