USS HAMILTON
CO: Commander Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
After bringing back a sample of the odd 'smelling' water, FO Miranda
Sands and CSO Mercedes McCarter go on a second dive to more thoroughly
investigate. The first thing they discover is the undertow Jolie
McCarter, Judah's diving partner and Mercedes' sister, mentioned. As a
matter of fact, they wind up caught in the undertow and swept into a
mostly vertical cavern with an underwater enterance. When they swim up
to the surface, they find themselves in the secret base of Basler and
Tino Winston. The two ladies see Judah lying on the rocky cavern shore
just moments before Basler discovers him as well and has Tino haul the
unconscious HAMILTON captain away to a lab elsewhere in the facility.
Once the beach was deserted, Miranda and Mercedes emerged from the water
and stripped off the most cumbersome portions of their diving equipment
and tracked the Winston twins to a door down the righthand tunnel.
Basler answers a polite knock at the door only to find
nothing but a comm badge, lying on the tunnel floor. Whenhe steps out of
the lab to retrieve the device, though, Miranda and Mercedes trip him
and Mercedes knocks him out. After running through the same routine
with Tino, M & M tie the twins securely to each other in an out-of-sight
alcove further down the tunnel. They then retrieve Judah from the lab
and take him back to the cavern shore where they wash the strange
gray-brown goo off of him. At the same time, the Winston twins reawaken
and cooperatively lever themselves up off the floor. Basler then
activates the retinal scanner that will open the door to the secondary
control room the girls had left them in front of. Once inside, he
switches on the bacterial defenses for the main cavern area and Miranda
and Mercedes blackout. Fortunately, the HAMILTON had regained
communications just moments before and OPS Zachary Bentley hailed them.
When they fail to respond, the belleagured heroines and the captain are
beamed straight to the HAMILTON Sickbay. The doctor has to protest when,
upon awakening, Miranda and Mercedes both want to return immediately to
the surface to bring the bad guys in, but a protest is all he gets,
though they maintain a constant transporter lock and keep an open comm
channel. M & M sneak up behind Basler and Tino back in the cavern and
put a headlock on each before calling for beamout. That brings the total
of people in the brig awaiting interrogation to three, with Chandler's
'father,' Kevala. Miranda and Mercedes then finally listen to their
bodies' cries for sleep and return each to their own quarters.

USS HORIZON Situation Report SD. 13.0715 - 13.0819
SOO Arkanis takes a shuttle to find out what has happened to Captain
Diak. Bordak reports to engineering, where a warp core breach is about
to occur. After the former CEO has explained his situation, FO Ayden
places him in command of avoiding the breach. On the bridge, Captain
Tergin gives the order to prepare for saucer seperation. OPS Starsinger
interfaces with the computer to battle the virus that is apparently
causing the core breach, but he's knocked out before he can report his
findings to Ayden. As if there isn't enough to be concerned about, CSciO
Melody Cuen experiences an identity crisis. She thinks she's a Q again,
and is confused as to where her powers have gone.
As it turns out, Ayden and Starsinger aren't able to stop the core
breach. The ship separates, and the drive section jumps to warp to take
the explosion away from the saucer. The core is ejected in mid-warp, and
the ensuing explosion hurls the drive section into a nebula. As the
surviving crew soon discover, they have sustained extensive damage,
including propulsion and main power.
In sickbay, CMO Patton has his hands full with the numerous casualties.
Among them is Cmdr. Ayden, whose abdomen has been cut to pieces by a
part of a console. The injuries are too severe for Patton to do
something, but fortunately the FO's cybernetics seem to be doing a good
repairing job. When he awakes some time later, he immediately wants to
return to work. Despite the good doctor's efforts to convince him
otherwise, he pushes through and leaves sickbay. On the battle bridge,
CSO Mauler gives him a report of the situation. About the only systems
working are short range sensors, the viewscreen, and life support.
Bordak has reported the ship as being unsalvageable. All over the ship,
the fighting spirit soon makes place for a feeling of defeat.
In the meanwhile, the saucer has picked up all escape pods and sets a
course to find the drive section. Suddenly, the USS Mauritania appears,
and opens fire without warning. After a brief exchange of fire, a
shuttle departs from the ship, carrying two Trasiens and a human. At the
same time, the Mauritania stops firing.

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
*****************
This week on Star Trek: DS 101:
The HIKARU sets out to investigate the sudden appearance of three stars,
where there were none. Lt Fischer searches the data bases for any
previous information. He is particularly interested in previous Hetgarot
descriptions of the area.
asst CSci Ens Perrin Jones goes to the holodeck seeking to satisfy his
coursity about what would happen if he 'blew-up' DS 101.
Cmdr Roberts, ordered aboard the HIKARU, expresses his dismay to Capt
Alyza about why, after all this time, she chooses him for official duty
on the mission. Alyza explains that she is dissatisfied with Roberts
only doing things that appeal to him, avoiding every official
assignment.. Despite his past actions, Roberts is still a member of
Star Fleet and he will contribute
The Yawetag rehabilitation vessel THREE RIVERS also experiences the
after-effects of the star's sudden appearance. One of it's passengers,
Htide (being treated for Eintocin addiction), has a very vivid dream
foretelling the event. The THREE RIVERS finds itself in orbit around
one of the newly appeared planets. It 'crashes' and the occupants finds
the ship embedded inside a giant cave. Htide makes contact, of sorts,
with an intelligence. He is asked to find 'the sphere', just what that
is...he is unsure.

USS NIGHTINGALE

(SitRep by Scott Bradley)
**********************************
The USS Nightingale: what it was, what it is, what it will be.
This week, the crew finally meets up with the Helnai and the Praq, who
demand that the Nightingale leave their system. After a confrontation
with the commander, they back down and agree to escort the Nightingale
to their planet, and Paly'n observes a shift in the biology of the two
species that may indicate that the Helnai and the Praq are one and the
same: a schizophrenic race.
As Stuart prepares to lead an away team, he bumps into Mrell, and the
two get into another verbal scuffle, this one over the risks involved
on the Nightingale. As they wrap up their little tiff, Stuart is
surprised to see that Mrell will join him on the away team that is to
report to the Helnai
homeworld. Also joining the away team are Ensign Thayer and Ensign
Kennala. Ensign Kel is told to remain aboard the Nightingale in order
to work on a solution to the Helnai-Praq's schizophrenia.
In his ready room, Commander Canon sees a vision of his lost love,
Abigail, which shakes him enough to snap at Stuart. Later, Dr. McCuen
checks in on him and offers a listening ear whenever Pol may need it.
Paly'n then leaves the Commander to meet Lieutenant Melani Wral, the
Nightingale's new Ship's Counselor. The pair discuss the situation
between the Helnai and the Praq, and Melani joins the away team before
she even has time to unpack.

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 contstructed
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.
