CO: Commander Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
After receiving a message informing her of her almost-
romantic-interest-definite-friend Lt Michael Pachuco's death by suicide,
CSO Mercedes McCarter actually (porcine creatureszipping around in the air
here) sought out CNS Logaan Woods to talk about it. Logaan does manage to
comfort her somewhat before she snaps out of her trusting, vulnerable state
and notices his spots. She takes him straight to Sickbay (after putting on
some sunglasses to disguise her from the doctor and hide her puffy eyes)
where her diagnosis of chicken pox is confirmed. FCO Tom Slater no sooner is
excused from Sickbay after recovering from deadly injuries than he also
contracts the disease and returns to Sickbay scratching all over. aCSO
Chandler T'krn-McCarter and Yossarian McCarter come down with it as well,
but manage to persuade Doctor Rogers to make house calls to their honeymoon
cottage rather than subjecting them to the "horror" of Sickbay.
CO Judah Gibbons is still being treated in Sickbay when Jolie McCarter comes
for their promised dinner bringing a loaded picnic basket. As they eat, they
discuss Jolie's always interesting family and her plans which reminds her to
invite him to the party the McCarter twins
are each giving the other. Judah's admission that Jolie might not get
clearance to stay aboard leaves her very unsettled, but he promises to do
what he can. Their basket emptied, a worried Jolie leaves the captain to his
briefing with FO Miranda Sands. Sands reports all well with the ship, though
they still have Slater's doppelganger to deal with and Gibbons decides they
will request new orders from SF the day after Mercedes and Yossarian's party
to give everyone a chance to slip back into the saddle gently.

******************
In An Alternate Time-Line:
At SB Omega, the USS Sojourner-Truth gives everything she has, but the enemy
is too strong. Along with her crew, she dies a hero's death.
CSO James Mauler uses the information provided by his alleged father to
increase phaser power. aCEO Bordak and SOO Arkanis enjoy their pre-war
workout on the holodeck. Afterwards, Bordak ponders about his current
situation. He decides that in times of war, you just have to forget
everything around you and fight. FCO Phryn follows a hunch and looks up info
about Ensign Drell, one of the junior officers in his department. He can't
find anything to satisfy the feeling that he'd met Drell before coming
aboard the Horizon. Then Phryn remembers he did indeed once know a man
called Drell, but that was an Admiral. Later that day, the Federation fleet
assumes formation around OP108 and prepares to engage the enemy. The USS
Heracles has gone ahead and makes contact with the enemy well away from
OP108. Their subspace weapons destroy dozens of ships, but with still a few
hundred vessels remaining, it makes little difference. When the Herc is
about to be overpowered, the USS Integrity decloaks and joins the battle.
Destroying high numbers of enemy ships with ease, the top-secret ship paves
the way for the Herc's retreat to OP108. However, even the Integrity can't
take on 400 vessels on her own. After a final run, they cloak and head to
OP108.
In the meantime, OPS Blaze Starsinger is successful in infiltrating the
Romulan computer system. The cyberpath begins his secret battle, hoping to
strike some blows before the enemy reaches OP108.

Lt Fischer (FO), Ens Goose (CSO), Ens Poynton (CMO), and Ens Tel'drak (OPS)
beam aboard the THREE RIVERS to aid the Yawetag vessel during the crisis.
While they are away a tractor beam locks onto the HIKARU and begins pulling
them toward the cave entrance. The THREE RIVERS attempts to fire a torpedo
at the suspected source of the tractor beam. The resulting debris and dust
disrupts the tractor beam for a couple of seconds, but it re-locks and pulls
the HIKARU into the cavern. Fischer waits for the sound of HIKARU
crashing, but it didn't come.
The HIKARU crashes on the planet's surface, but not the planet of the THREE
RIVER's crash site. Instead they are on the Fourth Planet of the Legend.
HIKARU's dilithium crystals have vanished. In the distance, a burning city
is visible. A civil war is underway.

USS NIGHTINGALE
CO: Lieutenant-Commander Pol Canon
GM: Mistie Smith
(SitRep by Scott Bradley)
**********************************
In sickbay, Kel and Wral work on a captured Praq, studying the creature's
ability to transform and the link to emotional responses. Stuart launches
his plan to rescue the ship's psis from the Helnai camp, and split-second
timing and impeccable planning save the day. The psis are beamed aboard,
although Canon and some others remain comatose.
Mrell, acting on his own, beams down to the planet and uses his considerable
talents to rig a rain of destruction in the Helnai government house should
the species take over the Nightingale. Upon his return, the Cardassian and
the FO get into another heated discussion over Mrell's actions. Later,
Stuart goes through Mrell's files, revealing that the natural deterioration
of the species' dilithium crystal supply is wreaking havoc with their
socioeconomic system, leading to a possible clue to the Helnai's interest
in the Nightingale and her technology to regenerate the crystals.
Meanwhile, Paly'n tells an awakened Kennala of her condition, which she
responds to with considerable aplomb as the doctor copes with an inner
struggle dealing with his past self, which seeks vengeance, and his current
one, which sees no need for it. The Commander finally awakens from his coma
and gets settled back into the rhythms of duty, calling Stuart and Mrell,
with McCuen in tow, into his ready room to sort everything out.

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 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.
