USS HAMILTON
CO: Commander Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
HAMILTON's cleanup activities in the Querts' home system are rapidly
nearing completion. The projection for survival of the planet's
ecosystems is reassuring and two potential sites for Quert resettlement
are being discussed. One is an island off the ocean shore about 3000
kilometers from their current dwellings. The island has less exposure to
radioactive contamination, but a paucity of arable land. The nearby
coastal location also being considered has an abundance of farm-friendly
plots and greater risk of significant impact through concentration of
contaminants put off by the nuclear plants. Potentially, the Querts
could be split between the two locations; young, mothers, and elder
females to live on the island and workers, bachelors, and aged males to
live in the coastal settlement. To help the Querts get started, the
Science department has recommended that they give them a colony startup
kit (custom configured, of course) and raw materials from the Ralvidan
hulks in the system.
Engineering has completely finished converting the GUANIAN for its more
mundane roll as a passenger carrier. The weapons from the ex-fighter
carrier are awaiting transport to the SF vessel under the watchful eyes
of HAMILTON's security staff just as the Ralvidans retrieved from the
crippled war ships are about to begin transferring aboard. Back aboard
the HAMILTON, the engineers scatter, some to shower, some to catch up on
shuteye, some to other relaxing pursuits. CEO Chandler T'krn has a bit
more excitement left in her day, though, for Yossarian
McCarter, her fiance, has planned a celebration of his release, complete
with chili shaped like a bouquet of flowers by multiple forcefields.
CSO Mercedes McCarter has some excitement of her own when an escalated
version of her same old nightmare gives her a premonition of impending
catastrophe. The feeling bears some fruit almost right away, too, in the
form of a message from someone claiming to be her mother's killer and
threatening to visit her in order to reclaim a valuable he believes is
in her possession. The subject is sailed over CNS Logaan Woods' head in
the McCarters' joint session via twinspeak until they settled down to
describe their relationship as siblings in appropriately colorful terms.

USS HORIZON Situation Report SD. 13.0624
Over a cup of coffee, CMO Bill Patton muses on the recent events. He
hypothesizes that perhaps there's a Trasien infiltrant aboard,
responsible for the simultaneous overload of all hand weapons in the
ship's armoury.
On the bridge, CSciO Melody Cuen uses the recently discovered ion trail
and lifepod to trace back the last position of the USS Hudson. When the
Horizon arrives on the scene, all they find is debris. CNS Darlene
Houston comes to the bridge, hoping for a chance to talk with Ayden,
Phryn and Blaze about the Nameless, only to find everyone is busy.

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
*****************
This week on Star Trek: DS 101
The party for Captain Alyza gets under way in Morwenna's Vulcan Coffee
Shop. Harkon finds himself locked in his quarters because it is
suspected he has come down with the flu. Dr. Poynton comes to his
rescue and unlocks the door. So, Harkon gets to attend the party after
all,
but under doctor's orders to abstain from alcohol. Crew members from
the USS NIGHTINGALE also attend the party. Ensigns Poynton, Thayer and
Azin (from the NIGHTINGALE) have their own little reunion. This has
been the first chance for the trio to get together since their time at
the Academy.
Ensign Foley, after deciding not to attend the party, discovers the
cause of he power drain. Ensign JV Tel'drak discovers 'sensor spots' at
the sites of the thefts previously discovered by the CSO. Goose and
Tel'drak discuss the new findings, which points toward sabotage.
**************************
USS JOHN GLENN
CO: Captain Richard Murphy
GM: Adam West
**************************
CSO Greene manages to liberate Sickbay from the TogDrel with the help of
a small team of security personnel. With Sickbay secured, she begins to
form plans for retaking the rest of the ship. Meanwhile on the Bridge,
Murphy is beginning to convince the TogDrel leader to hunt
down the remaining Talonid when intruder alarms sound multiple beam-ins.
The lifesigns indicate Talonid. Far Master Echinkal prepares to hunt
down the insectoids, forgetting her anger at the JOHN GLENN crew
momentarily. FO Horne takes that opportunity to inform Murphy that
someone is tapping into the computer core remotely, although they can't
tell who it is. In the deep of the remaining hidden Talonid ship, Galen
Simms manages to escape his storage pod and hide from the investigating
Talonid at the urgings of a telepathic girl who has witnessed his
exodus. He vows to save her, even though he is unarmed, unclothed and
unaccompanied.
**********************************
USS NIGHTINGALE
CO: Lieutenant-Commander Pol Canon
GM: Mistie Smith
(SitRep by Scott Bradley)
**********************************
Hey out there,
Greetings, fellow travelers. Until Mistie is able to take over the GM
duties once again, I'll be filling in for her. So sit back, grab a
quality beverage product, and join me as we cruise the spaceways...
Okay, from the top, or whatever passes for the top these days. The
NIGHTINGALE is docked at DS101. However, being dissatisfied with
Stuart's performance on the Prophet's Tears CGT, Canon sets up a retest
for him. A search and rescue mission to find the kidnapped Commander
himself, the new scenario includes live participants this time.
Ma'kauran, Paly'n, Alex, Kari, and Azin join Stuart as his team for the
sim. Stuart's group, after discovering that these Romulans are likely
the ones who were present at Canon's trial, plows its way through a
guard house. After Alex rigs a tricorder to operate despite the
interference, Stuart sees Canon's image on the device, surrounded by
Romulans. The group gets into another skirmish with the enemy as they
attempt to reach the Commander, who appears to have been drugged.
Ma'kauran narrowly avoids a serious injury, and the team regroups.
Devising a plan of action, Stuart leads his team fearlessly into battle.
Phasers blazing and bodies flying, they overcome the Romulans and seek
an escape route. Unfortunately requests for beam-up go unanswered and
the team must face the last of the Romulans. As the team advances, the
sim is changed and Stuart must face his nightmares. Facing his fears,
Stuart courageously confronts the beast and the test abruptly ends,
leaving him shaken.
After the CGT, Paly'n, seeing Stuart shaken by what he has faced, stays
behind. Although he didn't see the final confrontation, Paly'n
understands the dynamics of this type of test and confides in Stuart,
sharing a secret of his own. After years of service as an assassin,
thinking he was avenging the deaths of his parents, Paly'n learned that
his parents were nothing more than memory implants. He had been created
in a lab as the perfect assassin. Rather than reject these implanted
memories, Paly'n chose to embrace the memories of a family he never had.
After the CGT, many of the NIGHTINGALE's senior staff attend a party for
DS 101's Captain Alyza.
LtCmdr Kelen, on OMEGA, carries out his plan to rid the threat to his
daughter...the Romulan Officer Vask. While the TIRIX is being repaired,
Vask keeps a paranoid eye on Kelen's actions. Enjoying the mental
cat-and-mouse game, Kelen gives his tails the runaround, driving Vask
into a frenzy of paranoia. Kelen's actions finally drive Vask to have a
heart attack brought on by the strain and fear...with some help from a
Romulan CMO (and friend of Kelen's).

Cocoon Fleet Situation Intelligence Report (by Cmdr Seth Forster)
*****************************************************************
UPDATED SD 13.0615
Na'stiu and Juun relations continue to be tense without progress from
assigned diplomatic teams.
Activity has been reported in the Holack sector, despite the Veil's
blockage of subspace communication. The USS HERMES has been sent to
investigate.
Reports of Talonid invasion into the Cocoon have been determined to be
false.
The USS JOHN GLENN has reportedly found debris from the destruction of
the USS COCHRANE. Search for survivors continues, but none have been
found at this time.

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 constructed 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.
