CO: Captain Judah Gibbons

***************************
At the top of the stairs revealed by the torch-lever, CO Judah Gibbons
and CSO Mercedes McCarter find a giant door standing open into an
ill-lit passageway. McCarter hears a rumbling and won't budge until she
figures out where it is coming from, even when her captain continues
forward a step. Gibbons stops when she freezes in her tracks and in that
moment something flashes past the opening he was about to step through.
When they look down after the object (for the passageway turns out to be
a sloped, recessed chute) they see that it was an enormous boulder
rolling at high speed. McCarter's wariness saved Gibbons from being
crushed. The two use their torch-is-a-switch trick again to open the
doors which released the big rock and head up the drop channel.
Near the top of the pyramid, FO Miranda Sands and CNS Logaan Woods
struggle toward the pinnacle. A short distance from the very top, Sands
stops Woods from taking anotherstep and warns him that he was about to
tumble through the tangle of vegetation that gave the illusion of solid
temple wall and into the depths of the hollow structure. When he asks
how they are going to safely get down inside, Sands
directs her light between leaves and vines to examine the floor far
below then replies that they won't be going all the way down. The
chamber floor is covered with poisonous snakes. Leaning over to take a
look, Woods pushes a stone which pivots under him.
Another switch?
Back aboard, CSciO Jur Lehron, left in charge of the ship, receives a
report that a huge container of Caspian nuts has broken open in the
cargo bay and zillions of the tough little treats are rolling around the
floor. Lehron sends the grumbling Lieutenant at the Science station to
gather volunteers and clean up the escapees. Meanwhile, Lehron takes
over the Science station and gets close to sending a message to the Away
Teams when he is interrupted by another attempted jail-break. The
imitators of the CO, CEO, and FCO mix together the contents of capsules
secreted on their persons to form a volatile goo which they smear on
their cell wall. The brig duty officer manages to render them all
unconscious before the side of the cells blows, though, so they are on
their way to Sickbay (if anything is left of them) rather than headed to
freedom.

USS HORIZON
CO: Captain Tergin

******************
OPS Blaze Starsinger makes some suggestions to CMO Bill Patton about
removing FO Leyson Ayden's implants. Although his ideas have potential,
Ayden prefers to visit the Malvedians' advanced cybernetics laboratory.
On his way there, he notices that he receives no stares at his
cybernetics, something which happens all too often with other races.
Even more, he comes across a shop offering "goods for the cybernetic
enthusiast". After a talk with the owner, he agrees to come back if the
ACL can't help him.
Back on the ship, Nathan Cady is introduced to parenthood by Trinity
Layne-Malaar. Although baby Zadie is "da pwettiest ittle ting" he's ever
seen, changing her diaper isn't something he likes doing yet.
CEO Dariale enters sickbay with what she calls a little cold, but is in
fact an unfamiliar type of influenza. As Patton begins work on an
antidote, another victim comes in.
The Malvedian scientist investigating Ayden's cybernetics notices
they're made of a material that, as far as the Malvedians, Federation
and
Hetgarot know, only exists on Malvedia. Combined with the fact that the
cybernetics are far more advanced than what they can do now, this leads
him to speculate Ayden got his implants from Malvedians who came from
the future.
Ensign Luchrist Papalamos, a linguistic specialist from OP108, continues
to be interrupted in her work with Arwin Blackblade by the ship's
anthropologist, Lt. Garret Yudel. She ends up pointing out his
incompetence and is later called by CSciO Melody Cuen, presumably to
answer for her insubordination.

USS HERMES
CO: Commander Michael J. Halifax
GM: Grayham Tyler
********************************
Qoensal, Ruby and Jynn head down to engineering to sort this Omega
particle problem out once and for all. Jynn wasn't overly convinced
that SF Intel officer could be trusted knew that Qoensal was needed.
But before the three could do anything, they had to work a way to get
the systems they needed back from Newton who had almost gained access to
all of the ships systems, and seemed to be getting in the way,instead of
being a help to the crew. Within minutes Newton had managed to regain
communications.
Every crew member knew that containing these Omega particles would be
risky, as the two ships, the USS Hermes, and the USS Missouri, find
themselves working on different ideas to contain the particles. As
communications came through, they realized this, using the Missouri's
plan as a back up, as they agreed to follow the plans of the Hermes.
Everything seemed to be in place, as Ruby and Jynn, once again explained
what the out come would be for Qoensal, if this plan of theirs didn't
work. Within the allocated 10 minutes, they released the three billion
Tachyon particles, which was hoped to leave the OMEGA particles dormant,
but it had done more, in dissolved all of the remaining goo, and left a
slight subspacial rift, and as the rift closed, the Particles
disappeared with in it.
But before any of the Hermes crew could relax, Captain Malfoy hailed
them, seeing Qoensal and ordering his arrest, Rentarian Officer, was to
be court martial, under general order # 21 sub Para 3.5.6- endangerment
of SF crew, and then for MURDER. Know what he has done, and attempted to
do, Cpt. Halifax, although feeling a little guilty, ordered Jynn to
place the SF Intel Officer under arrest, surrendering his sidearm, he
and Jynn headed to the Brig.
Capt. Ardeous Brockman from the Omega Starbase, contacted the CO of the
USS Hermes to inform his that there will be a ship sent out, also
informing Cpt. Halifax that Commander Braxton Hicks, will be defending
Lt. Qoensal the Intel Officer.

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
*****************
DS 101's Senior Staff is trapped in time. 1841. Earth. Wisconsin. United
States of America.
Doctor Poynton returns with the supplies from town. Once again the
light, a satellite perhaps, is seen traversing the night sky. Kersh is
anxious about his son, who is still on DS 101. The return of Poyntonand
infusion of fresh supplies leads to a night of story-telling around the
campfire. Roberts thinks that Trax, the time ship, might come looking
for them. For the first time, Roberts opens up some. He express sorrow
at his actions that resulted in the death of billions. He apologies to
Alyza for failing her trust, but he cannot remember Alyza's name.
Apparently the mental deterioration continues. Fischer studies the
Statue. It has become hot to the touch, but does not melt the snow. As
Fischer is holding it, the Stature slides off into the forest. Fischer
follows. Led by the Statue he finds a tree with a push-button disguised
on its trunk. Fischer summons the crew. After all had gathered, Fischer
pushed the button and was reduced in to a size of about 20 cm.
Meanwhile back on DS 101 Nonac searches for Ens Foley.

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.
