USS HAMILTON
CO: Commander Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
A fashion disaster is averted shipboard as two of CSO Mercedes
McCarter's
officers catch her brother before he can add pink hair dye to FO Judah
Gibbons' shampoo. Yossarian McCarter's 'sleepwalking' landed him in
the
brig instead of allowing him to wreak havoc on Gibbon's coifure.
At this point, Captain Antonio Leeds inexplicably puts OPS/aFCO Zac
Bentley in charge informing Zac that he will be piloting CMO, the two
injured scientists she recovered, the CNS, and the counsellor's
security
detail up to HAMILTON in one of their two shuttles. While Zac is
passing
on the word to those still dirtside, he discovers something equally
befuddling. CEO Chandler T'krn and her team are no longer responding
to
their suit comms. While he and Mercedes are on their way to
investigate,
a Quert vessel suddenly launches ahead. The engineers' kidnappers, who
only want them to close the trans-warp conduit so the Ralvidans can no
longer plague them, chose the wrong ship, though, for it is missing
the
engine cooling system and, when they overheat, it begins to drop
earthward at an alarming rate. Zac maneuvers the remaining SF shuttle
to
physically 'catch' the Quert vessel and they both land very roughly.
As
it has been said before though, a successful landing is one that
everyone
walks away from and, with bruises and some bloody scratches, everyone
does.

USS HORIZON
CO: Captain Tergin
GM: Ruud Visser
******************
CSO James Mauler experiences the same dream reality OPS Blaze
Starsinger
was previously in. He recovers in sickbay.
Following tradition, the Horizon crew goes to the Mystery Bar at
Omega,
bringing their friends from Dakota along. Also present is Nathan Cady,
former OPS of the Horizon and now about to go on advanced tactical
training. A happy reunion takes place between Cady and the Horizon
officers. CMO Bill Patton meets the Dakota's attractive CO, Cmdr.
Sheila
Marevic. They have a wonderful night together, like Bill hasn't had in
far too long. Still lacking in social skills, CSciO Melody Cuen isn't
really enjoying herself in the Bar. Blaze, on the other hand, is
enjoying
the Bar and the company to the limit.
Back on the ship, the CSO finds out a transport dampening field has
been
laid over the location of the Bar. He replicates some Viridian
patches to
cut through the field, and joins the crew in the Bar to make sure they
can be transported out in case of a raid. Meanwhile, the Dakota's CEO
has
found a way to temporarily disable the dampening field. Melody is
getting
tired of all the drunk and half to completely naked people around her,
and leaves the Bar. She spends the rest of the night with the Dakota's
FO, ending with a kiss in the transporter room. Back on the ship, she
wonders if he loved her because of herself, or because of her
programming.
Captain Tergin and his lover, Meparchkan ambassador Or'Nonya Matala,
share a quiet meal in an Andorian restaurant on Omega. Or has just
heard
he needs to stay on Omega for a couple of months to work on trade
agreements with the Feronians and the Hetgarot. Tergin has received
orders to leave the next day, and they decide to make the best of
their
last night together.
Using the worm program he had prepared earlier, the Dakota's CEO
manages
to transport all party goers from the Mystery Bar to where they came
from. As an extra joke, most of the onstorming security teams are
transported to the holding cells intended for the Bar's visitors.
Ex-FCO Jarek Malaar and his wife, ex-CNS Trinity Layne-Malaar, depart
from the Horizon to head for Earth, where they will allow their as yet
unborn child to grow up in the absence of the dangers coming with
life on
a starship. 50,000 years old LtCmdr Phryn arrives aboard the Horizon
to
take his new assignment as FCO.
******************
USS ATHENE
CO: Commander Krwn
GM: Kathy Ruether
******************
While still being confined by the Talosians and after a talk between
him
and Miranda about why they love each other, Jur comes up with the
idea to
show them inkblots to distract them. The image of Rrrgth's comes to
help
the two out of their confinement as well as the others of the away
team.
After reaching the surface, the Athene is contacted and all are
transported back to the ship.
Now on board, the illusion of Ian is discovered. Even after trying to
shut down power in Engineering to get rid of him, the real Ian
disappears
from the group. Jouri proceeds to the holodeck were apparently both
the
illusion-Ian and the real Ian have been transported. After a short
questioning to determine which is the real one, Jouri shoots who he
believes is the false one, but it is found out that it was really his
brother he shot dead. Krwn decides against pressing charges against
the
aCSO for the death of his brother. Jouri, now mourning the death of
his
twin, goes to his quarters and hears someone or something knocking
against the bathroom door. It's Ian. The real Ian that is. The
whole
thing had been a test by the Talosians.
After talking to Rrrgth, Krwn decides against trying to save the
humans.
He gives the orders to destroy the crashed shuttle on the planet and
makes sure that a probe will be sent in three days. Tyler takes the
Athene out of orbit and into warp heading for Starbase 11. The Athene
has little over 8 hours until the self-destruct goes off. Hopefully,
they will make it in time.

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
*****************
Fischer, Dryden, Kersh, and Av'ern spend time sharing drinks and
conversation at Club 101.
Marta and Caesar's handcuff therapy is finally ended with positive
results. In fact, Marta likes the therapy so much, she initiates her
own
short handcuff session with Dryden.
Jel'ar arrives back at his shop. Fischer begins to investigate the
missing girl and the apparently smuggled archeological artifacts.
After
getting the forensic side of the investigation started, Fischer
interviews Jel'ar.
Roberts has his neuroprogram deactivated by the Rachet, Speeder.
Roberts
is determined to find meaningful work on DS 101 or else he will do no
work at all. He is tired and frustrated doing the "make-work" he has
been assigned. Ambassador Av'ern spends a few minutes in talk with
Roberts at Club 101 and asks for Roberts' help in arranging the
trading
details for Cait.
With the Command Grade Training done, Alyza attempts to spend some
time
with her family. However, duties continue to interrupt.

USS NIGHTINGALE
CO: Lieutenant-Commander Pol Canon
GM: Mistie Smith
**********************************
Lt Cmdr Pol Canons trial is proceeding very slowly, as his counsel
Ambassador Grayson finally finsihes his opening statement. Pol adds
his
own part saying that, whether or not his killed, is not the case, but
why. On the Bridge, Lt Danial Stuart sends a message to allert Lt
Cmdr Nathial of the increase in internal commincations on the Romulan
vessel. He also recieves a comincae from Starfleet operations,
informing
him, that he will begin command training at the conclusion of Pol's
trial.
On the Romulan vessel, McCuen and Ma'kauran notice that the Romualans
suspect McCuen is onboard and send a young Romulan (who is on the
Nightigale) to check whether he is still there, he see's McCuen and
Ma'kauran in sickbay and is satisfied. When he is gone, the EMH, who
had
been doubling as him, changes back. The real McCuen and Ma'kauran
talk,
keeping up their cover, but when Ma'kauran leaves, Selnan catches
McCuen
out.
In the trial, Kelen tries to call Pol to the stand to testify, which
results in Ambassador Grayson going on for 40 minutes as why he
shouldn't. By the end, most are rather tired and annoyed. Later a
security officer is caught by Nathial talking about the trial and the
fought that broke out during it. She asks the computer for where he
is,
only to be told, he is not onboard...
On the Romualn Vessel, Kelen and Vask relax and talk about the case.
Kelen asures Vask, that he knows what he is doing. Outisde the lounge,
Kelen hears a commotion, but is TOLD it probably has nothing to do
with
them. The case is called back to order. Pol tells the caught, despite
his
cousels objections, he will testify, on his own free will.

Cocoon Fleet Situation Intelligence Report (by Adm. Elisabeth Davies)
*********************************************************************
UPDATED SD 13.0313
The Federation/Na'Chem Ceasefire is still in effect. The USS SELEYA's
peace talks have reached an impasse, although efforts continue. The
USS
ZEUS and USS XERXES continue patrols and have managed to disable one
hostile cell's activities. The SELEYA is currently attempting contact
with another influential Na'Stiu cell.
Diplomatic relations with the Juun are still considered to be in 'a
tense
period.' Talks have resulted in an effort to disclose many possible
sentient rights transgressions by past Juun governments, although very
little has been turned up to date.
Actions to relegitimize SFIntel continue. Administration needs which
have stalled much of the progress are being handled, allowing for a
resurgence in these efforts.

Amgine Sector Report (by Lt. Alac Nond)
***************************************
OP108 has completed installation of its orbital docking platform and
commercial and Fleet activity continues to grow in the area. The USS
HORIZON has been assigned to continue the COCHRANE's aborted mission
and
investigate disappearances near the wormhole.
As a direct result of the Noo'Ach Peace and Trade Conference, the
Aldemiian race has been accepted as a probationary protectorate of the
Federation, establishing an embassy on Earth. Two other races from
that
conference are still being considered for Federation membership.
On a related note, the Federation might possibly become an
intergalactic
organization soon, as the Trasien race from the Andromeda galaxy has
applied for Federation membership. Negotiations for evaluation will
proceed soon.
*****************************************
Beyond the Portal (by LtCmdr. Eli Meyman)
*****************************************
The Klingon/Federation Officer Exchange Program has shown some success
and plans are in the works to expand the program. The Klingon Empire
and
the Federation have established a non-aggression pact that many
consider
the prelude to a new treaty between the two. Still no official
comments
from the Cardassian Union.
Recent investigations into Tholian border activity have confirmed that
there is no military objective. Fourteen new colonies have been
established within two sector's distance from the neutral zone, and
military presence on these colonies is considered very light. An
official assurance of peaceful intentions has been received from the
Tholians.
Romulan Ambassador Tultia and Vulcan Ambassador Skarov continue talks
of
Unification. Talks are expected to last several more weeks, despite
projections of failure.
