USS HAMILTON
CO: Captain Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
The HAMILTON crew has entirely too much time on their and too many
mysteries on their minds as they make their way to the downed
COMBINANCE. FCO Tom Slater is having nightmares involving the new SFI
guy, the (discharged) mine, CO Judah Gibbons, and FO Miranda Sands.
After waking, his mind still won't let go of the mystery of why someone
would send a distress call through a mine. CNS Logaan Woods is
struggling with his feelings for CSO Mercedes McCarter. He gets half
drunk, visits the sim of her family's farm and looks at portraits of her
family, heads back to the Lounge for more booze when his thoughts turn
to his own past, then finally wanders to his quarters to crash.
Meanwhile, Gibbons and Sands finish up their discussion of the database
Sands looked over for him and about the SFI OPS, Tim Anderson. When
Mercedes arrived as requested, the security officer was added to the
short list of those in the know. Later, she returns to the bridge to ask
for a word in the ready room and, once in private, hands over a
transmission between Anderson and SFI that Security intercepted. After
offering to give her captain the original of the message as well,
Mercedes gives her initial reaction to the contents of the mysterious
database.
Mercedes' next stop is Engineering, to thank Chief Johnson for taking
Trey McCarter under his wing while he was aboard. Just as their chat is
turning toward the COMBINANCE situation, the computer completes its
analysis of the distress call and matches the OMEGA data Mercedes was
bringing on the COMBINANCE captain, Cmdr Garrison. Neither are from the
present or the past, leaving the future and an alternate timeline as
possibilities.

USS HORIZON
CO: Captain Tergin

******************
CMO Bill Patton is very much looking forward to the first cup from his
recently acquired coffee maker. Unfortunately, as the sickbay personnel
notices by Patton's colourful description of the beverage ("Barnyard
mud!"), the taste doesn't quite live up to the expectations created by
the aroma. In his ready room, Captain Tergin gives Bordaq a warm welcome
as the ship's new counsellor and promotes him to Lieutenant. Later,
after a passionate reunion with Or'Nonya, Tergin joins the rest of the
senior staff at a dinner with the two visiting agents from Temporal
Investigations. On his way to the dinner, Patton encounters a woman he's
never seen before. On the doctor, it has about the same effect as a
phaser set on high stun.
Meanwhile, Lt. Jessica McClure ("Fleet Traveler and General Trouble
Maker") and Ambassador Lamina Yrdnabsuh arrive at the Horizon for the
upcoming mission.

USS HERMES
CO: Commander Michael J. Halifax

********************************
Stuck in darkness and having that lonesome feeling, Ensign Ruby
Kennison, (CEO) has started to hear voices, not sure what, who or
even if it's her imagination, sarcastically goes along with the orders
it explains to her. Suddenly out of the blue the Williams (CNS) started
hearing a voice, searched the Bridge, but couldn't recognize the voice
with who was currently on the Bridge, she then heard the voice again,
which stated quite clearly, "Sydney, It's Ruby". Is Ruby leaning
telepathic skills, only the voices she is hearing can answer that.
Jynn continued work on a way to control the status of the ship, but with
the systems offline and just about all equipment working off life
support, he had no other choice than to take that long walk to the
computer core as he couldn't get an appropriate reading from the console
he was working on.
Still stuck on the Runabout, Qoensal (SF Intel) also had no power, and
that there was some sort of squeegee, gooey substance on the outer hull
of the Runabout, he quickly figured out a way to regain the power as he
was able to override the jets and navigate the Runabout manually, but
not without first realizing that he was carrying, a very deadly, and
explosive combination of chemicals.
What will happen next, find out next week on USS HERMES

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
*****************
Lt Fischer, now back in control of his actions, encounters a gang of the
Sphere's underground movement, demanding the release of the prisoners.
He confesses to these people that he was once under the control of 'The
Instrument' but not anymore, and was a Star Fleet officer. Under fire
from the crowd, Fischer moves himself, his fellow officer, the One, and
the underground representatives to a safer position. The meet up with
Poynton and his rescue team. All Star Fleet personnel are beamed back
aboard the HIKARU.
Sensors aboard the HIKARU indicate that the Sphere will destabilize
completely within less that 24 hours. Fischer realizes that with the
destruction of the Sphere, it's death, if you will; the 'Great Work' is
simply the survival of the people on the Sphere. The Sphere was built
to
transport the three factions of the population to the three worlds of
the system. But with civil war raging, the populations are intermingled
and the Sphere is not able to separate them well enough for
transportation. It was hoping to use the HIKARU and THREE RIVERS to
separate the factions. Prevented by the Prime Directive from
interfering and separating the populations, Capt Alyza decides to send a
message to them about the origin and function of the Sphere. The
Sphere breaks-up on schedule. City-by-city, pieces of the Sphere are
blasted towards each of the three planets, where the Sphere's
inhabitants had once lived. Each city makes a safe landing at its
destination. The remains of the Sphere disappears into subspace.
The Instrument returns to his body, vacating Fischer's consciousness,
and aided by Doctor Poynton is soon up and about again. Foley asked
the native Nonac to accompany him back to HIKARU...out of Love she
agrees. He manages to smuggle her aboard. Lt dal Starian, OPS, detects
her arrival and raises an Intruder Alert. Foley comes up with a plan to
temporarily 'hide' the presence of Nonac.
Lt Kersh has a heaven-sent experience with Heaven's Bureaucy before
being convince by 'Katie' to return to himself. LtCmdr Roberts has an
aftereffect caused by the 'weapon' inside his head.

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

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.
