OUTPOST 108
There's a slight moment of tension among the crew as the Gryphon
passes through the wormhole leading towards the Andromeda Galaxy. The
CEO is convinced that he has been contacted by Wormhole Aliens. The
CsciO tackles him on this theologically dubious piece of reasoning.
The Gryphon arrives on the other side of the wormhole and begins to
reconnoitre the area while waiting for the arrival of the COCHRANE.
They
find no trace of the Federation ship or M-class planets in the
vicinity
but do detect an Ion storm heading for the two ships.

USS ARTEMIS
Following the events in which Captain Marshall was abducted by a
second
alien vessel and it's subsequent escape. the acting CO, Lt. Cmdr..
Paul
Simons, leaves the bridge to inform Cadet Janet Marshall of her
brothers
abduction. While there Simons assure the cadet he will be okay
Later on that day the aCO returns to the bridge and learns that the
saphusians have provided some information about the abducting alien.
The
information proves to be of little value as it is no more informative
than the ARTEMIS's own sensor readings. Again the saphusians become
suspect to doubt. Not soon afterwards a ship is detected and is
closing
at warp 1.5 and turns out to be the saphusians, who hail the USS
ARTEMIS.
Aboard the saphusian vessel, "Glorious Wind", is Regent Kamat and his
entourage. the aCO is greeted by the regal form of Kamat and is
invited
over to the ARTEMIS for a private discussion on the matter of the
captain's abduction by the second alien race.
As soon as communications are closed a large explosion is detected on
the planet to which an away team had been sent to recover more
information on the saphus.
Concern about the away team arises, but sensors readings indicate that
the away team was well away from the explosion which turns out to have
been from a charging weapon on the surface of the planet.
The aCO leaves the bridge to greet the regent and his entourage.
Making
his way, Lt. Cmdr. Simons decides that the saphusians do in fact use
"borrowed" technology, but rather than develop an understanding of the
principles involved or the theory on which it is designed they simply
replicate the technology and adapt it to their uses....

USS HORIZON
Ambassador Or'Nonya, called back to the Meparchkan Embassy on Earth,
leaves
the ship, and consequently, leaves Captain Tergin.
Meanwhile, the Tal virus continues to effect the crew in numerous
ways.
Crew continue to file into sickbay, with an almost unending list of
complaints. Ens. Layne, the new ship's doctor, makes progress on the
structure of the virus by taking a sample from Bordak, who is carrying
an
unmutated strain.
However, before the doctor can make use of her discovery, she finds
she is
not immune to the virus herself. Her emotional states become amplified
under the influence of the virus. Heading to the Ship's Edge where she
meets with Lt. Canon, Lt. Malaar, and Dr. T'Salek. Malaar finds
himself all too willing to assist the new doctor in any way possible.
In a moment of relative calm, Pol is awarded the Shafer Star of
Service.
And Lt. Munro collapses into a catatonic state, in the middle of the
bridge.
Lt. Hamelin's previous, ultra-logical state is diagnosed as his
human/vulcan hybrid mind's reaction to the virus. In an effort to save
Hamelin from suffering a complete mind shutdown, Canon enters a
"dreamscape", in which he can interact and help the Lieutenant. With
the
assistance of both Tergin, Suven, and Layne, Hamelin is saved.
Upon awakening, Hamelin sets out to work on a solution to the problem
at
hand. He is joined by the captain, and the two of them pool their
efforts.
At the same time, the doctor's condition deteriorates from mild dizzy
spells to a complete breakdown of her emotional state. T'Salek
diagnoses
her as suffering from the virus.
Ens. Arkanis, noting the doctors state, and seeming unwillingness to
deal
with it, initiates a kind of treatment of his own, restricting her
movements by planting a forcefeild around her ankles. Lt. Malaar,
trying to make the best of the situation, decides to ask Layne out for
dinner. The doctor accepts, though only on the condition that Malaar
retrieve a personal possession for her. A stone which allows her to
relax.
Lt. Suven's state deteriorates, and she sluggishly makes her way to
her
quarters, barely able to stand straight. Before she collapses
completely,
entering a dream-like state, she calls for medical aid.
Layne, now in possession of her family heirloom rock, is relaxed
enough to
be released from her invisible bonds. In a calmer state of mind, she
is
able to realize that the progress of the virus can be slowed, or even
reversed by tinkering around with the Pheromone levels of the ship.
***
USS ATHENE
While doing a routine planetary survey in the Dungata System, the
Athene
discovers the trail of one Joseph Crenshaw, the villain responsible
for
destroying the original Athene. Disobeying orders to the contrary,
Capt. Simms
orders the Athene to follow after Crenshaw and finds him onboard what
appears to be a Mercenary Ship.
***
USS KATANA
Though short a CEO, FCO, and CSO, the KATANA receives new
orders directing them to act as intermediaries between the
homeworld and mining colony of a race acquainted with the
Hetgarot. The mission will have a distinctly First Contact
flavor and Captain Thelek frets about especially about the
lack of a CSO. On the tail of that thought, Lt Asil Kurii
presents herself as the newly assigned CSO, to serve with
Thelek as CO as she had previously served with him. Later,
after having dropped off her belongings at her familiar old
quarters, Kurii startles FO Takoth by reporting for duty on
the bridge before word of her presence got out. When he had
recovered slightly from his surprise and pleasure at seeing
his old shipmate returned, Takoth dumped several waiting
tasks on the newly assigned CSO with a lighthearted, "Oh,
and did I mention, welcome back?"
In a lull in the effort to return the KATANA's hull to normal,
Ensign Krwn arrived to discuss their tactics in ridding the
hull of its abnormal green. Krwn rejects the automated barion
sweep Takoth proposes as ineffective and weakening to the
ship's skin. Instead he suggests 58 teams of 2 individuals
each to manually sweep the hull with isotone eliminators while
under a .8 milliwatt stasis field. Takoth had been unaware, as
had Krwn previously, of the presence of anti-mesons in the hull
which would make the more arduous proceedure necessary.

DS 101
Nevil, Brax and Crystal awaited the clearance from the docking crew,
as the
stripped/decommissioned Constitution class ship was delivered by a
Tellerite
shipping consortium. When the three boarded the ship it was in a
complete
mess. They headed to engineering, Brax suggested a Ferengi warp core
would
be perfect, but Crystal reminded the Ferengi that the ship was the
property
of Roberts. Crystal and Nevil started to clean up the mess.
Meanwhile,
Brax was in his office and an old acquaintance turned up, Nancy.
Back on the USS MANTA RAY, they arrived at the rendezvous point,
initially
no other craft in range. Out of the blue turned up a Galaxy Class
ship and
is identified as the missing vessel. Roberts with concern, advised
the CO
that two Degrad ship appear on the edge of Vurtedion space, along with
a
Vurtedion freighter. "Captain, I believe this whole rendezvous is a
set-up." Hogan expands on his thought.
Alyza hailed the Galaxy, but no reply is received. The Vulcan CO
warned the
approaching Federation ship, but again no reply. They had 20 mins
until the
Degrad Vessels arrived. Alyza authorised weapons free.
The Galaxy fired off a volley of torps and Hogan responded with his
own
volley. The MANTA managed to evade the weapons, but the Galaxy
sustained
damage to the saucer/stardrive umbiblical and shields were down to
87%.
Alyza ordered helm to put some distance between the MANTA and the
Galaxy.
The Galaxy fired off some more projectiles, but Hogan didn't recognise
the
objects. The MANTA managed to dodge the weapons again , but the crew
realised that they were not intended to hit the SF vessel but they
released
metagenic compound.
Hogan informed the captain that the projectiles were actually, Sentry
drones. Whilst evasion was on the MANTA crew's minds the Galaxy had
caught
up with them and managed to release some phaser and torp shots, which
hit
the MANTA. She'd sustained multiple hull breaches and her shields
were down
to 64%. The sentries were now fully surrounding the ship and it was
completely covered by a metagenic compound cloud, which would kill the
crew
if the shields failed....
***
USS CURIE
As the away team is confined to the holding cells on the Dergrad ship,
the Dergrad Lital, comes down and tells them that the Curie's computer
is infected with multi-fragmented virus. He also arranges for the
away team to have an escape opportunity by dimissing the guards for a
shot period of time. Meanwhile, the ambassador and his groups wait in
thier cells for somthing to happen.
Somehow, Lt. Mike is able to contact the Curie and arrange for them to
be beamed out, but the transporter is unable to distinguish which are
the away team and which aren't, so they take them all. When they
arrive, Lital in tow, the Captain gives permission for Lital to stay
under Mike's care. The invisible Galia walks up to her double on the
tran. pad and realizes that none of them can see her either.

Cocoon Fleet Situation Intelligence Report:
by Cmdr. Ilu
A ceasefire exists between the Federation and the Na'Chem. The Juun
have
made no official comment. Several Officials sacked from the Juun
government following the exposure of genocide committed against the
Na'Chem by the Juun have attempted to lure the Federation into a war
with
the Na'Chem. Starfleet is investigating these allegations of Genocide
against the Na'Chem heavily which may threaten the Juun's position in
the
Federation. Starfleet Intelligence Officers are on the scene and
investigating the reports of Romulan influence in the matter.
A small number of Na'Chem factions are refusing to acknowledge the
ceasefire. Calling themselves the Na'stiu, they continue raids
against
the Juun.
An area of space being dubbed the ‘Bermuda Triangle' has left Several
Starfleet vessels missing. A ship has been sent to investigate.
Amgine Sector Report:
by Lt. Serin Erl
Deep Space 101 has returned to it's previous location. The exact
circumstances of it's disappearance have been divulged to Cocoon Fleet
Headquarters.
Outpost 108's construction proceeds on schedule, it's support vessel
however has left on a joint mission with the Klingon vessel "Kahless'
Blood".
The USS CURIE has returned from the far end of the Cocoon.
A new HAWKING class ship has arrived to replace the aging FEYNMAN.
Beyond the Portal:
by Lt. Michael Walters
The Klingon Empire has established a Ceasefire with the Federation
following the exposure of a conspiracy between the Klingon Houses in
the
former Occupied zone and the Cardassian Union.
Peace Negotiations are proceeding slowly on Khitomer, several of the
Federation's top ambassadors have been sent and recent reports say
that
the Negotiations are nearing an end.
Fleet yards across the Federation are putting in extra effort to bring
the fleets numbers back up to what they were before the war. What
Starfleet lacks now is the personnel to staff those ships. Federation
fleets are regrouping and rebuilding following the recent war. The
eighth fleet, sixth and third fleets are the only fleets so far to
regain
their numbers to what they were before the war.
The wormhole at DS 12 has finally sufficiently stabilized for traffic
to
resume to the Gamma Quadrant.
Respectfully Submitted,
Tom Doyle,
Fleet GM for Holoworld
