USS HAMILTON
CO: Commander Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
Departure time has arrived and Jolie McCarter says a loving goodbye to
CO Judah Gibbons before the general McCarter fairwell to CSO Mercedes
McCarter. Perhaps with most of the McCarter clan gone the ship will be
a slightly safer place to be?
aCMO Lt Ian Rogers and FO Lt Miranda Sands both say hello to
promotions at the all crew briefing on the flight deck. When his yeoman
shows him a message notifying him of his promotion from Commander to
Captain, Gibbons says to keep that under wraps for now to keep from
stealing the others' thunder.
At the dinner and discussion in the captain's quarters, LtCmdr Sands and
CNS Logaan Woods are assigned the task of handling diplomatic relations
during their new mission. CEO William Johnson and CSciO Jur Lehron are
put in charge of the search for the downed vessel and
technology assessment. CSO McCarter and FCO Tom Slater are given the
task of making the initial contact with the marooned crew and developing
a rescue plan. After handing out these assignments and granting CEO
Johnson's request to analize the actual distress call, Gibbons dismisses
all but Lt McCarter. After everyone else has exited, Judah removes his
rank insignia and asks for Mercedes' help with his relationship with her
sister.
From his trepidation at her clinginess, Judah knows he isn't ready for
as serious a relationship as Jolie seems to want and isn't sure he ever
will be. Since Mercedes is one of two of the longest standing officers
besides Judah himself, he feels closer to her than the new CNS and wants
to use her as a sounding board and get her suggestions for how to deal
with the situation. Mercedes promises to make herself available to
listen
when he wants to just talk and offer suggestions when he wants help. In
the meanwhile, she recommends that he do whatever will make him happy
and congratulates him on his promotion. When he asks in surprise how she
found out about it (since it wasn't going to be announced until
the next day), she just answers that she has her ways of finding out
about things.

USS HORIZON
CO: Captain Tergin
GM: Ruud Visser
******************
The Section 31 ship USS Infinity joins the battle and does some severe
cutting down of the enemy numbers. On the Horizon, CMO Bill Patton hears
they will return to their own timeline shortly. He can hardly they'll
abandon the people from the timeline they're currently in, and rushes to
the bridge to beg Captain Tergin not to leave. Most of all, Bill doesn't
want to loose his wife, who's still alive in this timeline, a second
time. Tergin denies his pleas and Bill is taken back to sickbay. When he
wakes up again, he comes close to committing suicide. However, some
telepathy from Q makes him realize his death would only bring more pain.
Back on the bridge, Captain Diak tries to change FO Ayden's mind about
re-entering the wormhole. However, his words don't have the desired
effect. Bordak, who is actually from this timeline, joins his alter-ego
(who belongs to the same time as the Horizon crew) on the Inifinity.
When OPS Blaze Starsinger comes to terms with his feelings about his
suicide mission and, effectively, returns from the death, the crew is
ready to return to their own time.

USS HERMES
CO: Commander Michael J. Halifax
GM: Grayham Tyler
********************************
Forcing Halifax(CO) off the JUGGERNAUGHT and beaming on to the USS
MISSOURI, Agah(FO) and Peranzules, dealt with the situation of healing
the CO and resuscitating the dead MISSOURI FO. While Malfoy the
MISSOURI's CO inquired about dealing with Lt. Qoensal, who had killed
the FO. to Halifax, he was stuck in a bio bed, but still managed to
coordinate with some of his crew, that were on board the USS MISSOURI,
to once again board the Jugganaught, and locate the remaining members
and get them to back to the MISSOURI. Qoensal was given different
orders, he was to locate and recover the missing HERMES ship.
Mean while some of the crew were trying to locate their ship, the USS
HERMES, Agah, using the MISSOURI scanners, had a good idea where the
ship could be as it indicated as the last scans indicated that a
Juggernaught shuttle was towing the ship to where they had located the
MISSOURI. Back on the HERMES, Col. McKendrick was up to something,
setting the stun level on the phaser to maximum, and making his way down
to the brig, releasing the acting commanding officer, before giving him
access to a load of weapons, they then made there way to the HERMES
Bridge.
What are they up to, find out next week on the USS HERMES.

CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
*****************
On the Sphere:
Foley, Roberts, and Speeder investigate a dilithium mine on the Sphere.
Foley interrupts the rape and assault of a native woman, Nonac, in a
hut near the mine. Shortly after this rescue, Foley sees a dozen of the
Fischer's native forces enter the mine, heading deeper to the location
of Roberts. After a short fire-fight, the Federation personnel are
captured. Speeder manages to escape detection by hiding in the crannies
of the mine. Speeder contact the other Rachet aboard the HIKARU, who
informs Alyza of the Away Team's fate.
Kersh, Dryden, and their Away Team are also taken prisoner. Htide, aka
'the One', is informed of the captures. Despite the fact that 'the One'
is in charge, he leaves decision up to Fischer (the Instrument).
On the THREE RIVERS:
Doctor Poynton recovers from his broken leg in the Yawtagean Sickbay. He
reviews scans taken of Lieutenant Fischer, before his defection to
the sphere and discovers that Fischer's brainwave patterns have been
overlayed by the brainwaves of the INSTRUMENT, now dead. Doctor Poynton
proposes a Neural Polaric Induction to set the FO right again. There is
only one problem, Fischer is currently unavailable for treatment.

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.
