USS HAMILTON
Captain Antonio Leeds
GM: Janet Gist
*********************
CSO Mercedes McCarter is sent to her quarters when her third reprimand
sends her into hysterics. When she comes back to try to explain herself,
FO Judah Gibbons turns her back around and makes a career counselling
appointment for 1000 the next day. After the shift is over, CO Antonio
Leeds decides to take his daughter out on a "date" to cheer her up and
Mercedes is invited to join them when she enters the Officers' Mess in
search of dinner. aCMO Rogers and aCNS Brei consult about a pregnant
patient who may be the victim of physical abuse from her partner and
aCSciO Corina Riannalyn discovers that not only did their 10 Na'Chem
attackers most likely come from the lone system they scanned days ago,
but they also show signs of having travelled through the Cocoon Wall. The
HAMILTON shortly arrives at OMEGA and many of the crew begin leave or try
to decide what they will do when their turn comes. Meanwhile, HAMILTON's
new orders arrive.
-----USS DESIRE (USS HAMILTON CGT)------
After amplifying sensors against the nebula's interference, the DESIRE
retrieves all but 9 of HAWKING's crew, by count, before sufficient
interceptors are launched to deter them. Once outside the stellar cloud,
CO Joanne Carters questions an impostor who says he only saw Orions and
HAWKING crew. He then adds that the ship is an alien intelligence that
needs rescue too, casting doubt on the other information he has given. A
disruptive member of the HAWKING crew is found to have Post Traumatic
Stress Syndrome and becomes terrified when anyone tries to physically
move him somewhere or repeatedly assures him that they are his friends.

USS HORIZON
Captain Tergin
GM: Ruud Visser
***************
(The Horizon is currently investigating a dark matter anomaly in the
Katarian sector.)
Captain Tergin awakes in sickbay and secretly leaves, against the
doctor's advice, for the bridge. The medical officers break out from the
cargo bay and CMO Bill Patton checks on FCO/2O Jarek Malaar, who's
looking good given the fact that he spent five seconds in vacuum.
Or'nonya and No'urdan argue whether they should share information they
have with the crew, but Or says they can't because of the Meparchkan
Final Ruling, even if that would save their loved ones. No disagrees. OPS
Blaze Starsinger interfaces with the ship's computer and hears the good
ghosts from the anomaly. He is told that the only way they can escape, is
by sacrificing a number of the crew to still the hunger of the many death
in the anomaly. CNS Jay McMadeth talks to the mysterious Maggy again and
she tells him they have to go to the center of the anomaly to be free.
Cmdr. P'Nehbuddar awakes from the death and attacks CEO Dariale in
sickbay. With the help of a security team, Arkanis, and a protoplaster,
the former FO is stopped. In the science labs, a science officer is
briefly posessed by a good ghost who has him write down some complex
calculations to help the crew. After locking away P'Nehbuddar's remains,
Patton sees his late wife and still-born son. The temptation to accept
them is big, but his common sense wins and he refuses.
Meanwhile, the Dakota arrives at the anomaly and Cmdr. Ayden gives his
instructions to avoid getting trapped as well.
****************
USS ATHENE
Commander Krwn
GM Kathy Ruether
****************
Captain Anthony Reese and Lt. Suven are called back to Starbase 11 for
reasons that are pretty unclear. Krwn's rank of Commander is finally
reinstated back to him after a court-martial five years ago. Lt. Miranda
Sands is made the ATHENE's new XO though she doesn't feel ready for this,
but Jur helps make her feel better about it. Krwn is made its new Captain
though he is under investigation. His change of rank and bump to captain
takes many of the crew by surprise.
During the Admiral Evers' visit, he experiences some slight confusion
when meeting the Hollander twins. The Admiral goes to sickbay to settle
down and meeting CNS, Jur and 2O/OPS Miranda in the corridors does not
help his state of mind. Later the Admiral activates the self-destruct
mechanism, which will go off in three weeks if the ATHENE does not come
back to Starbase 11 by then. Only someone with Admiral clearance can
deactivate it. A silent countdown until one hour before has been made.
Dr. Morit informs Krwn that they have found a procedure to return him
back to his original body, which is currently in stasis. Krwn is asked
to go down to one of the MedLabs to get started. Also Krwn asks Miranda
on who should go on the away mission once they reach Talos IV.

DS 101
Captain Alyza
GM Don Ratliff
**************
On DS-101, reporter Daniel Sayer, has a dream that seems to portend a
communication from an unknown alien race. The dream warns of an invasion
or war.
Cady and Goose confirm sensor readings of a major earthquake on the
planet. Parts of the planet's northern continent disappear into the sea.
The loss of life is estimated at more that 600,000; with many times that
number injured. Captain Alyza considers the magnitude to the disaster
decides to communicate directly with the Gortu government and offer
whatever assistance the HIKARU can.
She speaks with President Akamai, the elected leader of the Gortu. Akamai
seems surprised when Alyza mentions that the HIKARU had received previous
requests for no contact from representatives of the Gortu government.
Indeed President Akamai welcomed any assistance that the Federation could
offer. Captain Alyza, Ensign Goose, Lt. Cady, Ensign Villeray, and a
small security detachment prepare to make First Contact with the Gortu.
On Chichoka II, as the Gortu world is called, there is disagreement among
those in high positions about this Federation contact. The Gortu had
previous contact with an alien race of small statue that was far from
beneficial for the Gortu. Agreement is finally reached among them to
allow contact, but to keep a close, covert watch on the Federation
representatives.
Meanwhile back at DS-101, Je'lar and Rouge make contact with a Ferengi
trading vessel.
Captain Alyza, Commanding Officer of Deep Space 101, is awarded the
Picard Medal of Honor for her long time service and dedication to
Starfleet and the Cocoon Fleet.

USS NIGHTINGALE
LtCmdr Pol Canon
GM Mistie Smith
****************
Ensign Stuart having just finished his report on the space port
investigation, waits in the transporter room to see in their new visitor,
Z'Dark, who was rescued from floating in space, after his shuttle
exploded.
Lt Cmdr Pol Cannon is sitting in his new captains chair, sipping tea and
studying the bridge crew. They pick up a ship on long range sensors,
which ends up being the Uss Elizabeth Blackwell. Who is there to assist
in the last stages of the vaccination, the clean up crew. Cannon invites
them to dinner, and orders all Nightingale senior staff to attend, formal
wear.
Marcol, Ma'kauran and Qoe are investigating what is possibly a federation
shuttle reckage. They find two dead starfleet officers (who end up being
Romulan) in the cockpit, at the back they are surprised to find two more
Romulans, who are alive but unconcious. Which they beam back to the
nightingale. Payl'n protects his 'patients' from Qoe who want to question
them now.
Lt Kate Brown, the new counselor beams aboard with her son, Jaden, and is
told about the formal dress dinner, and is met by the XO. The Dinner
begins, and the staff go about socialising with the crew of the Elizabeth
Blackwell.

Cocoon Fleet Situation Intelligence Report (by Adm. Elisabeth Davies)
*********************************************************************
UPDATED SD 13.0120
The Federation/Na'Chem Ceasefire is still in effect. Although, the
Na'Stiu faction continues with efforts to upset the Ceasefire. StarFleet
vessels have been dispatched to attempt to negotiate with the Na'Stiu and
provide peacekeeping defense. The USS SELEYA is currently pursuing
negotiation efforts while the XERXES and ZEUS have been patrolling areas
of intense Na'Stiu activity.
Diplomatic relations with the Juun are still considered to be in 'a tense
period' and talks have been initiated to resolve the situation. Captain
Mara Nemec, Juun StarFleet officer, has been assigned to the Juun
homeworld to attempt to repair the situation which has recently escalated
after riots in the Vu'rain province and the trial of several doctors
believed to be responsible for the Genetic Experimentation scandals.
This news comes only 10 months since a team led by Captain Alyza of DS
101 uncovered evidence that the Juun Union was indeed developing a weapon
of mass destruction. The lives of many Seekers were lost during the
investigation which ended on SD 12.0501.
The recent temporal anomalies prevalent in the Cocoon seem to have waned,
although official reports are still unavailable at this time.
Recent departure of Admiral Fergal McKewan has caused restructuring in
the Cocoon Fleet Command. McKewan has been replaced on interim basis by
field-promoted Fleet Admiral Fuschia Tino. Captain Elisabeth Davies,
recently made Head of Cocoon Fleet Intelligence has been given a field
promotion to Admiral and named as interim Fleet Executive Officer. All
Squadron Commander positions are currently unfilled and the interim brass
is in process of searching for successors. Captain Ardeous Brockman will
be in command of the continuing clean-up of SFIntel in the Cocoon and
Commander Foster Ryan has been assigned as new Chief Training Officer for
the Fleet.

Amgine Sector Report (by Lt. Alac Nond)
***************************************
DEEP SPACE 101 has seen much activity as its engineering capability's are
undergoing a major upgrading. Also facilities for accommodating its new
role as a secondary command centre in the event of catastrophe befalling
SB OMEGA are in the process of being added. Work progresses slowly but
the facilities are nearly completed.
OP108 has completed installation of its orbital docking platform and
commercial and Fleet activity continues to grow in the area. Recent
disappearance of the ships in the area has prompted Fleet Command to send
the USS COCHRANE, now cleared of framed treason charges, to investigate
the space around OP 108 and the Andromeda wormhole.
The Noo'ach Peace and Trade Conference was extremely successful,
resulting in many new trade and diplomatic relations being established
with several new races. Although a mobile anomaly appeared in the area,
nearly causing the destruction of the USS HORIZON, USS HIKARU and a
Hetgarot vessel, the conference was spared any turmoil. The Hetgarot
concerns about the recent elevated activity near OP 108 has been eased
due to the success of the conference.
*****************************************
Beyond the Portal (by LtCmdr. Eli Meyman)
*****************************************
Relations with the Klingon Empire have improved steadily since the
completion of the New Khitomer Concorde. The Cardassian Union continues
to make no official comment on the situation, but intelligence shows
military activity at a minimum within the Union.
Fleet yards across the Federation have been putting in extra efforts and
brought the capacity of Starfleet's Fleet's back up to what they were.
The ship yards are now slowing their production of starships and focusing
on developing new designs that require less personnel, as what Starfleet
lacks now is the personnel to staff the ships. All Starfleet Fleets have
regained their strengths.
The new Tecumseh-class battle cruiser, the first ship to be produced
exclusively in the Cocoon has been retitled the USS ATHENE, in honor of
the previously destroyed ATHENE. Although the ATHENE's current mission
is TOP SECRET, Command has confirmed that the majority of the mission
will take place outside of the Cocoon. All eyes in the Federation are
awaiting results of the Tecumseh-class' maiden voyage, as production may
begin at non-Cocoon shipyards.
Recent activity on the Tholian border has resulted in increased
monitoring. No military threat is perceived at this time.
