USS HAMILTON
CO: Captain Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
*Tired of trying to regain the shuttle, CO Judah Gibbons orders the
vessel destroyed rather than leaving it intact in Jiev hands. After
making sure the nacelles in particular were completely destroyed,
Gibbons orders the HAMILTON into the atmosphere of the M-class moon
harboring the guarded COMBINANCE. Just as he is about to order the
allocation of the remaining power in the next step of his plan, he
pauses uncharacteristically then orders the ship back into space and out
of the system. FO Miranda Sands is perturbed by the sudden double-back
and, from other signals becomes more and more suspicious of their
captain as well as CEO William Johnson. To test her gut feeling, Miranda
asks Johnson an Engineering question, then makes a light-hearted joke
about his response. Her suspicions are confirmed when the fake engineer
smiles and laughs lightly, definately --not-- what the real Johnson's
response would be. Casually, Miranda asks CSO Mercedes McCarter for a
private word in the Observation Lounge. In private, M & M agree that
there is something fishy about their "captain" and "engineer." When
queried, the computer maintains that Gibbons and Johnson are not about
and, when questioned further, states that CNS Logaan Woods is gone too.
The two women return to the bridge and take "Gibbons" and "Johnson" into
custody rather easily. "Woods" kicks up a bit of a fuss, at one point in
a Mexican Standoff with M & M's security team back-ups, but is
bloodlessly taken into custody as well. Mercedes' interrogation of the
impostors kicks off with her reassurance that their appearances will not
keep her from slicing them to bits if they are uncooperative. At their
continued defiance, Mercedes hands them PADDs containing summaries from
her mental list of 1001 Ways to Die Painfully and Messily... so they can
choose how they will go. They begin singing like canaries, spilling
everything they know that might be useful.
Meanwhile, the lost originals are planetside treking through tropical
forest and looking for somewhere near drinkable water to spend the
night. A small cabin near a spring all but sends them an engraved
invitation and they thankfully begin gathering firewood and making
preparations to hunt & gather a dinner for themselves. While Johnson is
off gathering wood, Gibbons and Woods see a form almost solidify in
front of them but become clear and then vanish before the transition is
completed. Gibbons recognizes their almost-fourth as ex-FCO Tim
Anderson, and they savor the hope that HAMILTON has already begun rescue
attempts. Johnson's long absence worries them after Anderson nearly
joins them, and they go looking for the Engineer. When they find their
unconscious crewmate, his chewed hand and bitten ankle testify to what
happened and they prepare to haul him back to the relative safety of the
cabin.

USS HORIZON
CO: Captain Tergin
GM: Ruud Visser
******************
Cady and Arkanis engage in a zero-G battle to celebrate the young
officer's return. Either Advanced Tactical Training improved Cady's
battle skills, or Ark was going easy on him, because the match end in a
tie. Still, the large crowd had a good time, not in the least due to
SpecOps Agent Wolf's commentary. Despite the safety protocols, though,
Cady's shoulder ends up dislocated. While putting the limb back in
place, CMO Bill Patton is rather distracted by Ensign Kathy Rhule, the
woman he met in the turbolift the other day. On his way to dinner with
the Captain and Or, Cady literally runs into FO Leyson Ayden. Although
not known for his friendliness, Ayden can't hide the fact that he is
glad to have the young man aboard.
In the lounge, CNS Trinity Layne-Malaar has a talk with Triana, Ark's
girlfriend. Although Triana has been with Ark for months now, she's
never
asked how he feels about her, afraid his answer would disappoint her.
At the staff meeting, Arkanis hears the assignment for his SpecOps team
consists of guarding the Malvedians' jippalomas, big elephant-like
animals. Elsewhere, Galibda and Dedican, two young Malvedian zoologists,
share the unpleasant duty of gathering jippaloma diarrhea for analysis.
SpecOps Agent Luntas experiences a vivid nightmare about the death of
her family.

some glassy goo, unable board the ship, they attempt to contact Comdr.

Ensign Ss and Ensign Lafayette board the USS MISSOURI, and where Ens.
Peranzules is also trying to figure out a way to get the USS Hermes

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
*****************
Ensign Goose checks in at Sickbay complaining of a neck ache. Doctor
Poynton diagnoses muscle fatigue and tells him to take a couple of days
off. Goose pays a visit to Capt Alyza to try and get her to release him
back to duty. But Alyza stands by the CMO's orders. Before Goose
can return to his quarters he is called to a bar to quell a minor
disturbance caused by old acquaintance. Once he arrives at the bar he
finds his friend, a Bolian named Ty. They hardly have time to exchange
two words, before Ty passes out from the synthenol. Goose carries Ty to
his quarters and nurses his friend's hangover.
Capt Alyza begins a study of Earth history and asks Fischer what he
thought was the most representative period. Fischer's opinion is that
the Industrial Revolution was the most significant.
Later, the remains of the molten Statue is carried to the Science Labs.
The molten blob morphs in several different shapes. Ensign Perry lets
his sense of humor get a bit out of hand with all this 'shape-shifting'
and finds himself in hot water with the Captain. Alyza orders Perry to
undergo counseling evaluation and medical examination..
Kersh, meanwhile, is anxious to see Katie once again and tries to sneak
out of Sickbay. The Medical Staff puts that plan on the unsuccessful
pile. Luckily Katie pays him a visit and they have a picnic in
Sickbay. Kersh asks Katie to marry him... She says 'Yes!'.
Ensign Mi'Ack, newly minted from the Academy, arrives to assume the
duties of Chief Engineering Officer.
Kris goes to Roberts' quarters and surprised at his friends condition.
The neural program in Roberts' brain is slowly causing memory loss and
will eventually, perhaps soon, kill him. Roberts asks Kris to take him
to the LEGACY. There might be something on the LEGACY that would help.
Kris takes the request to Capt Alyza, who give official permission.
Doctor Poynton reviews the data from his recent exam of Roberts and
spots the decrease in neural activity. He immediately contacts Roberts
for a 'stat' re-examination.
Foley's court-martial is cut short on orders from Starfleet command.
Known to Starfleet, but unknown to Foley, is the fact that Foley is a
'communication conduit' with a race of beings that should arrive at DS
101 within the next six months. Because of this a full-fledged
court-martial, imposing the punishment required by Foley's breach of
regulations is not possible.
In the Science Lab, study of the molten statue continues. Alyza
vanishes while studying the artifact. At the same time all senior
officers vanish from DS 101. They find themselves in a forest clearing
on Earth, Wisconsin to be precise, apparently in the mid-19th Century.
The find an abandoned log cabin to spend the night and set about finding
water, wood, and food. Lt Fischer is attacked by a wolf, fortunately
the injury is something that Dr Poynton can handle. They find a small
amount of local money in the cabin. A list of desired equipment is made
and Dr Poynton sets out to find the nearest 'shopping center'.

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.
