USS HAMILTON
CO: Commander Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
(Belated from SD. 13.0522:)
Just as the Away Team's shuttle was about to lift off from the planet,
one crewmember is registered as missing and the takeoff is aborted.
When
CNS Julianna Ward is recovered, the sight of her bloodied, shredded
radiation suit causes OPS/aFCO Zachary Bentley to advise the others
that
the little vessel is now an ambulance. As soon as they have docked,
CMO
Jill Landon-Leeds takes Ensign Ward into her custody, making two
high-priority patients making the trip back to OMEGA with them. The
Leeds
clan, Sudak, and Ward then being underway in the D-warp that brought
them
their new CNS, new CO Judah Gibbons issues Wounded Lion medals to the
two
injured officers then brings the loose ends of the mission back into
all
their rememberances. OPS is assigned effort coordination. Security,
with
Medical in adjunct, is assigned the transfer of personnel from
immobilized vessels of the Ralvidan fleet to fighter carrier GUAIAN
which
Engineering is assigned to strip of weapons and convert into a
personnel
carrier. Finally, to reduce the danger to the Querts' health and
safety,
Science is assigned the duty of finding a new site for Quert
settlement,
outside the range of the radiation contamination from the failed
Ralvidan
reactors.
With things more settled outside the ship, the crew settles back into
shipboard life. CSO Mercedes McCarter is informed, almost upon having
set
foot on HAMILTON's decks, that her brother is in the brig. Her twin
had
been discovered in the corridors near exFO-newCO Judah Gibbons
quarters
with a vial of pink hair dye. Undoubtably, the dye would have found
its
way into the commander's shampoo if the still mischevious half of the
McCarter twins hadn't been ambushed by Security. After a lecture,
Mercedes lets her brother out of his cell, then proceeds to rush into
writing her report to the captain so she will still have time to cook
for
her date with Zac Bentley. Plenty of edibles are ready when the time
comes, though, and her celebration of the anniversary of her decision
to
join Starfleet comes off without a hitch. Later, another pair has
reason
for celebration when Yossarian proposes to CEO Chandler T'krn and she
accepts. Perhaps married life will be enough to settle the more
boisterous of the McCarters. (Ha!)
The new CNS, Ensign Logaan Woods, reports in to Gibbons' readyroom
with
his sister and they are welcomed aboard. The captain makes a point of
warning the new counsellor of wavering morale aboard, both because of
deaths in the crew and the more recent gutting of the chain of
command.
The introduction to the CO taken care of, Logaan soon finds himself
becoming acquainted with the McCarter twins as well. First, Mercedes
comes in, not for a session but to schedule one for her brother and to
invite the new counsellor to call on her if he needed any help, then
Yossarian for the previously mentioned appointment. True to the
McCarter
spirit, Yossarian makes Logaan's first session... um, interesting.
(From SD. 13.0529:)
CNS Ensign Logaan Woods' first session onboard gets off to a promising
start, from Yossarian McCarter's point of view at least, when the
young
counsellor admits that he probably would have stolen a shuttle too if
a
sweetheart of his had been in trouble. The rambunctious half of the
McCarter twins even relaxes enough that they begin talking about their
sisters. Then, CEO Chandler T'krn, Yossarian's fiance, drops by
looking
for him and welcomes the new CNS aboard. Since the engineer has
appropriated his patient, the rather casual session comes to an
impromptu
end. As the espoused are making their way down the corridor, though,
Woods realises he made no second appointment and hurriedly asks they
arrange a mutually convenient time for a session with both McCarters
present.

USS HORIZON
CO: Captain Tergin
GM: Ruud Visser
******************
The Horizon arrives at OP108. Before proceeding into the wormhole to
the
Andromeda galaxy, the new CNS comes aboard: Lt. Darlene Houston. She
is
thrilled to be aboard and enjoys every minute of it. CMO Bill Patton
reviews the medical records from a recent mission, in an effort to
find a
way to counter the telepathic abilities from the beings that live
inside
the wormhole. Back on the ship after a tour on OP108, FO Leyson Ayden
is
visited by a frightened Ens. Maxon Fedds. Maxon is afraid of going
through the wormhole, because the last time he went through one
brought
some unpleasant surprises. Ayden assures him this wormhole won't do
something like that. As the new CNS reports for duty, an energy spike
moves from Blaze's console into the OPS officer's nervous system, with
no-one but Blaze's friend No'urdan noticing it. The spike has caused a
being called Chasm to take over Blaze's mind. After welcoming Darlene
Houston aboard Captain Tergin gives the order to enter the wormhole.
CEO
Dariale suspects the Purists, an extremist group that doesn't want the
Trasiens to join the Federation, are behind the disappearance of the
Hudson. She also thinks the Purists want the wormhole to be destroyed,
and she intends to do everything to prevent that.
FCO Phryn falls asleep in his quarters and has an erratic dream.
Suddenly, he finds himself waking up in the ship's lounge, apparently
having appeared there from nothing. He turns to the bar and sees a
reflection of his face. It has turned completely black.
FCO Phryn falls asleep in his quarters and has an erratic dream.
Suddenly, he finds himself waking up in one of the ship's shuttle
bays,
apparently having appeared there from nothing. He catches a
reflection of
his face in a computer console. It has turned completely white.
Captain M'treel Diak, held captured on a ship in the Andromeda galaxy,
takes his chances when only one guard comes to get him for yet another
torture session. He overpowers him and manages to escape in a shuttle,
wreaking havoc aboard the ship in the process.
******************
USS ATHENE
CO: Commander Krwn
GM: Kathy Ruether
******************
Shawn Day helps with the preparations of arriving on Melkot. He goes
into the holodeck to see what the procedure of flooding the warp
chamber
with gaseous chriontrium would be like on the ship since it hasn't
been
done on a class of since like the ATHENE. The warp chamber vibrates
when
the gas is released. Ian suggests using forcefields to reinforce the
chamber.
USS ATHENE finally reaches Melkot. All members of its crew are
permitted
to go to the planet for shore leave. One of which is an identical
recreation of the OK corral and Tombstone Arizona as presented to the
original Federation contact group. Twelve Melkots are beamed aboard,
but
end up engaged in a fight with a Talosian, who takes control of the
ship.
All twelve and Krwn become unconscious. After the Talosian gains
control
of weapons and fires at the planet, Day and Sands try to manually get
the
impulse engines going and soon do. Ian comes up with a computer virus
that shuts down all systems onboard including life support. The
Talosian
is taken care of and the twelve Melkots and Krwn are taken care of by
Dr.
Morit.
Meanwhile on the shuttle, Perry Jones tries to avoid not getting
Admiral
Evers and himself killed by phaser beams coming from or being bounced
off
the planet. A "bomb" is found aboard the small shuttle and Jones
tries
frantically to contact the ship. Finally, contact is made and Evers
and
Jones are transported onto the Bridge, where Miranda Sands has a
difficult time trying to convince Jones that it is the ATHENE he is on
and not Hell since he believed the shuttle had blown up when he was
transported.
After many scans of the shuttle and the shuttle not actually blowing
up,
security finds out that the "bomb" was actually just an alarm clock
that
looked like a bomb. Because of this, Jouri decides to play a little
joke
on the new OPS officer by bringing the "bomb" into the Lounge where
Perry
is having drinks with a few of his new crew members. Realizing it's
all
a joke, Perry sheepishly crawls from behind his chair.

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
*****************
Before the Staff meeting, during which Alyza and Foley find themself
in a
subspace bubble, Alyza and Ambassador Av'ren share a conversation.
They
speak of Roberts and his new role as Trade Representative for Av'ren's
people. Av'ren defends Roberts strongly, insisting that he is the
perfect man for the position; since Roberts was being wasted as a
'consultant'.
Alyza and Foley are located in a realm of subspace several sublayers
distant from DS 101's space/time continuum. Their bodies remain in
the
current continuum. It was determined that whatever snatched away
Alyza
and Foley was also responsible for the sudden appearance of the
HIKARU.
A subspace tunnel is suspected. The tunnel opens just inside DS 101's
shields. The Hetgarot is the only know Cocoon race to use a 'tunnel
drive' and they are very reluctant to share that technology.
A Class II Probe is prepared to explore the subspace tunnel. It
discovers a ship of unknown design and origin. The ship is speeding
down
the tunnel for DS 101.
Jel'ar and Rouge enter Jel'ar office at the rear of his store. Rouge
informs the trader that because of the inconvience the price has now
doubled. Jel'ar refuses to pay the increased price, makes payment of
the
initial agreed price. Upon learning from Rouge of a new communication
blocking prototype that might be in the smuggled crates, Jel'ar
quickly
gets Rouge out of his shop. Rouge leaves with warnings of a future
meeting.
Goose comes up with an experimental two-man fighter to enter the
tunnel,
scan the ship while remaining undetected and return with the
information.
This would give DS 101 a tactical advantage which might prove crucial.

USS JOHN GLENN
CO: Captain Richard Murphy
GM: Adam West
**************************
CEO Joshua Ryan begins repairing the damage caused during the
explosion,
and makes it to the Bridge in time to inform the Captain that scans of
the planet's moon is emitting multiphasic variances that will cause
the
ship's core to breach. Though many of the crew want to search the
moon
for Cochrane survivors, the Captain nixes the idea.
Dr. Zelith Waynes finishes his preparations and opens a wormhole that
will give the Talonid access to the space above the planet, making it
much easier for them to destroy the Cocoon. Unfortunately, he and his
staff are killed by the planet's military immediately afterwards.
The JG
crew tries to stop the wormhole from opening, but to no avail.
Likewise,
Perry and his Marines look on in horror as the portal opens, but not
before they launch nuclear warheads to completely destroy Dr. Waynes'
research base, quite likely escalating the civil war on the planet to
annihilation levels.
Capt Murphy charges Ryan and CSciO Martin to close the wormhole and
appro
ves Horne's suggestion of an away team to shut down the 'renegade'
Marines they believe are causing all the problems. Horne takes
Greene,
Kess'rith and ace-in-the-hole Dr. Kelsi Biaret in hopes of putting a
final end to the madness.

Cocoon Fleet Situation Intelligence Report (by Cmdr Seth Forster)
*****************************************************************
UPDATED SD 13.0516
The USS SELEYA, XERXES and ZEUS continue peacekeeping efforts and
patrols
among Na'stiu cells. The Seleya's most recent contact has agreed to a
ceasefire contingent upon other cells agreeing to the same. The Zeus
recently escorted a convoy of Ebmanok freighters through the Na'stiu
tension zone with no incident.
Diplomatic relations with the Juun are still considered to be in 'a
tense
period.' Talks continue with no advancement.
Actions to relegitimize SFIntel continue. The current Fleet
Administration has stabilized, allowing for more investigation into
past
Intel actions. Captain Ardeous Brockman was promoted to Head of
SFIntel
in the Cocoon following the reassignment of Vice-Admiral Elisabeth
Davies.
Several deaths due to shuttle accidents have caused great loss in the
Cocoon area as well as outside the Cocoon. Although there is
currently
no explanation for the sudden increase in shuttle accidents, SFEng and
SFSec are investigating the problem. Among those lost in the Cocoon
area
in the last few weeks are LtCmdr Viviane Taliesen of SB OMEGA, OMEGA
quartermaster Aleta Fehrahr, HORIZON Special Operative 5 of 13 and Lt
Tek, formerly of the USS HERMES. Perhaps the most saddening loss is
that
of former acting Fleet Administrators Admiral Fuschia Tino and
Vice-Admiral Elisabeth Davies, whose shuttle breached as they were
being
transported to their new assignments at SFHQ. These officers will
all be
missed. Memorial Services will be announced to Commanding Officers.

Amgine Sector Report (by Lt. Alac Nond)
***************************************
OP108 has completed installation of its orbital docking platform and
commercial and Fleet activity continues to grow in the area. The USS
HORIZON is en route to investigate the nearby wormhole to the
Andromeda
Galaxy. The USS HUDSON, which had disappeared while investigating the
wormhole is still missing.
Peaceful cooperation with races in the Amgine Sector continue to
increase
in the aftermath of the Noo'Ach Peace and Trade Conference.

Beyond the Portal (by LtCmdr. Eli Meyman)
*****************************************
The Klingon/Federation Officer Exchange Program has shown some success
and plans are in the works to expand the program. The Klingon Empire
and
the Federation have established a non-aggression pact that many
consider
the prelude to a new treaty between the two. Still no official
comments
or noticeable military movement from the Cardassian Union which is
beginning to cause concern over what, if anything, they might be
planning.
Unification talks between Romulan Ambassador Tultia and Vulcan
Ambassador
Skarov on Bajor have met an impasse and ended without success.
Ambassador Skarov made a public statement saying, "The Vulcan people
will
continue to work for peaceful cooperation with our Romulan cousins.
This
is but a first step and trust between us has grown." The Ambassador
did
not comment on any plans for a second meeting.
