***************************
CSO Mercedes McCarter sends a thoroughly unrepentant Lt Pike to the brig
when she arrives on the scene of the attack on Engineer Paul Alday.
After Lt Alday is taken into the custody of the medical staff, Mercedes
makes a bee-line down to Security to bawl out her ex-aCSO, but he won't
listen, convinced that he should have been CSO instead of her. The
rebellious and resentful security officer doesn't have a long, boring
stay in the brig, though, for the force-field on his cell somehow
incinerates him. Security has not yet ascertained whether the incident
was
suicide, homicide, or sheer accident.
During preparations for the McCarter family dinner/party, Mercedes'
brother, Yossarian, sagely declares that CO Judah Gibbons' problem is
that he doesn't have a girlfriend. Mercedes is skeptical, believing that
the "problem" is all Yossarian's, but he has to leave for practice with
his
band before they can get into one of their "discussions." With Yossarian
gone, Mercedes' mind goes back to how oddly CNS Logan Woods was behaving
the night before and she asks for Sickbay to send someone to check up on
him. The medical personnel find Counselor Woods less than lucid;
disoriented, distressed, and aggressive by turns. With many cautious
encouragements and non-confrontational urgings, they take him to Sickbay
for a thorough examination.
The numbers at the McCarter shindig begin to swell. OPS Zach Bentley
arrives and is teased by Mercedes' father about having stolen his
daughter's heart. CO Judah Gibbons arrives in the middle of the mock
confrontation and is reassured by Mercedes. HAMILTON's captain
innocently shares a beer from one of the two packages he brought with
Mercedes' father Patrick, while her younger sister Jolie examines his,
um... physique. Just after Judah's arrival, FO Miranda Sands and CSciO
Jur Lehron make their entrance. Then, the darlings of the gathering
arrive. Yossarian and his fiance Chandler T'krn land right in the middle
of a curious bunch of McCarters who begin quizzing Chandler on her
background. When the queries dip into the uncomfortable realm of her own
parents' attendance of the wedding, Chandler makes a non-committal reply
then distracts her interrogators by mixing Spiritual Blood Brandies for
each of them. Just after they gulp what she describes as "not a drink
that you sip," the announcement of dinner's readiness further redirects
the attentions of those around the couple.

******************
CMO Patton returns to sickbay with CEO Dariale's scan results. Talking
to Captain Tergin and Dr. T'Salek, it turns out the second Trasien (who
incapacitated Dariale) impersonated Patton a few minutes ago, and is now
loose on the ship. Tergin proceeds to talk with Captain Diak, who
tells him how a Trasien infiltrated his ship and caused a warp core
breach. Their conversation is interrupted by the red alert klaxons, and
they hear a warp core breach is in progress. Ensign Bordak, who has just
appeared from the past, is beamed aboard and brought up to speed on the
situation. He heads to engineering, to help avert disaster.

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
*****************
Capt Alyza contacts the virus. As she gets to feeling worse, she locks
herself in her office. She collapses. Her distress is picked up
telepathically/empathically by her father on Vulcan, aboard a Kenary
ship, by Cmdr Hogan somewhere in the Cocoon.
First Officer Lt Fischer's infection with the Flu/Achilles Virus takes a
small turn for the worse and sends him to Sickbay. Dr Poynton soon has
his condition stabilized. Fortunately the deadly Achilles portion of
the virus remains dormant. Reports of others on DS 101 infected with
the
Flu continue to come in. To help combat the virus and determine it
origin, natural or sabotage, Dr Poynton request help from the USS
NIGHTINGALE, the Cocoon's medical ship docked at DS 101. A team headed
by Lt McCuen, NIGHTINGALE's CMO, is soon on the station. Ens Goose,
working on the sabotage theory of the virus's appearance, collapses at
his station...victim of the virus or perhaps something else. Tune in
next week to find out.

**********************************
Hello again, folks. Well, now that things have settled down a bit here,
we're back on track. So, this week you have a big ol' double scoop of
quality SitRep products. Yum!
As an outbreak of a mysterious flu begins to show its teeth on DS101,
Stuart reflects on his crewmates and newfound position onboard the
ship. Surprisingly, Mrell shows up in the midst of this reflection, and
the two speak as civilly as possible for the somewhat abrasive
Cardassian.
Meanwhile, Ma'kauran approaches Paly'n with a sensitive medical problem,
and the doctor, realizing the trust that he has earned, begins work on
her unhealing burns.
In the Swamp, the party continues. Thayer and Kel meet up with Ensign
Hiroki and Susan deWinter, and Stuart arrives and mingles with the new
crew as Molen again stirs the pot by approaching Captain Canon himself
with his concerns. Canon, a bit annoyed, tells Stuart to deal with the
situation, and Stuart does so in a friendly manner, courageously
overcoming the urge to strangle the little whiner.
On DS101, the situation with the virus is worsening, and Captain Alyza
herself appears to be infected. The call is made for the Nightingale's
assistance. Stuart coordinates the investigation between the
Nightingale's Science and Medical staffs. After a brief discussion and
the revelation that this virus may cause different reactions in
different species, McCuen takes his team over to the station to begin
their work.

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.
