USS HAMILTON
CO: Captain Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
The explosion in the brig obliterated the imitators' bodies but their
true-selves as bright green energy balls were unaffected and left
immediately for Engineering. The three aliens shut down as many systems
as possible on their way, then enter and bring down the warp core as
well. That done, the three green sparks zip off to the nearest shuttle
bay and commandeer one of the craft. After demanding that CSciO Jur
Lehron (who was left in charge of the ship) to evacuate HAMILTON within
the next 10 minutes, the balls of emerald light abduct CEO William
Johnson. Lehron refuses to be dictated to and informs them that the crew
will not be leaving the ship. He then repeats his offer to peaceably
negotiate for whatever it is they are after, asking them to respond in
the next 6 minutes. Johnson awakens aboard the shuttle at approximately
the same time and begins watching the shuttle readouts to figure out
what his captors are doing. Soon he comes to realize the light globes
are preparing to slingshot the antimatterunit they set adrift straight
into HAMILTON. Valiantly Johnson decides to sacrifice himself to save
the HAMILTON crew and suggests that to the green lights that they tune
their tractor beam to 472.8 MHz to avoid feedback from the antimatter
unit's containment field. The aliens take his advice at face value, but
that frequency disrupts the containment field and blows the antimatter
unit, the shuttle, and William Johnson to smithereens, leaving them
adrift in the vacuum of space.
Meanwhile on the planet, CO Judah Gibbons and CSO Mercedes McCarter
decide to follow the boot prints at the bottom of the stairs they
descended. The discovery of the prints' owner is quite unwelcome,
though, when the Gorn scientist and his companions attack the SF
officers. Gibbons manages to phaser down all but one of the Gorn and
this one bites into his shoulder when McCarter stabs it in the eye. In
response to its attack on her captain, McCarter begins hacking at the
creature's knee with a fallen sword and it finally falls. The Gorn
bruisingly grabs her leg before death relaxes his grip. The Gorn
operation center contains several weapons, some medical supplies, a
monitor on the remainder of the Away Team, and a globe holding a green
light.

USS HORIZON
CO: Captain Tergin
GM: Ruud Visser
******************
After the Malvedian colonists have been taken aboard, Captain Tergin has
made up his log, and FO Leyson Ayden has returned to the ship, the
Horizon sets course for the colony. Ayden, whose cybernetic mouth piece
has been removed by Malvedian doctors, visits Sickbay for a check-up
byCMO Bill Patton. When he sees Sasha Kali, he takes the opportunity to
use his lips for something else than talking and smiling, and kisses her
passionately. Later, he stops by the Captain. Tergin is very pleased to
see his FO in such a good mood now that he has his mouth back. The CO
asks Ayden to head the investigation about last night's strange events.
CEO Dariale, recovering in sickbay from her flu, is amazed by the sudden
changes in Cmdr. Ayden. When Sasha asks her about her own dating plans,
she says she's never felt the need for a partner.
Dr. Patton sets aside his reluctance about working together with Ensign
Kathy Rhule, and asks her to help him treat some injuries caused by the
jippalomas being spacesick. Although he probably doesn't realize so
himself, their cooperation is another step towards a romantic
relationship.
After a talk with FCO Jarek Malaar and another appearance of Jay
McMadeth, CNS Bordaq expresses his wish to become a father to his
fiancee, Amy DeSantos. She wants to have children as well. The
investigation of Jay's appearance doesn't yield any results, and Bordaq
believes they're created by nothing more than his own mind. When
discussing the matter with the Captain, Tergin draws a parallel with the
voices guiding him, and advices Bordaq to seek this out by himself.
After enjoying each other's body on a holographic beach, Jarek has a
talk with his wife about their marriage. Their talk with Bordaq has got
him
thinking, but Trinity reassures him that she's happy with the way things
are going. Just when their bodies join a second time, Jarek disappears.
Almost five hours later, he reappears, without any memory of having
disappeared.

USS HERMES
CO: Commander Michael J. Halifax
GM: Grayham Tyler
********************************
With the arrival of Lt.jg Nadine Schmidt, the CSciO, Ens. Ss was working
hard to find the cause of the attack, on the USS TYNE, with a lot of
evidence giving him the conclusion that the Energy Weapon that was used
had Klingon signatures written all over it. Although some of the crew
of the USS Hermes disagree with the findings, the CsciO and his team,
determine that it would be near impossible to copy the signature, they
continue to figure out who the attacked the ship, and if it was an
assassination, killing the Defence Lawyer, Comdr. Hicks.
Hearing the news that the Comdr. was killed, Lt. Adex Ganston the
Special Prosecuting Attorney, didn't feel much remorse as he felt that
it would make his case a little easier to win. But as the Court
Marshall draws closer, Qoensals Defence lawyer starts preparing her
case, and all the inconsistencies that she has begun to notice, as to
Qoensals motives for committing the crimes he is being court marshaled
for.
Find out next week what happens to the Star Fleet Intel officer next on
the USS Hermes.

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza
GM: Don Ratliff
*****************
DS 101's Senior Staff is trapped in time. 1841. Earth. Wisconsin. United
States of America.
FO Fischer and the Queen of the Cingi discuss the situation. The Cingi
have a ship in Earth orbit, but no way to communicate with it.
Unfortunately the Star Fleet communicators still have not been repaired.
If they could be repaired they could be used to establish communication
with the orbiting vessel and bring it in for a landing nearby. After
making initial plans, Fischer is returned to his normal size and
re-joins his crewmates. The blizzard continued. A need for new supplies
arises. Mi'Ack and Fischer work on the COMM Badges. The Cingi
provide a few coins toward the purchase of new supplies. The snow
buildup causes the roof of the cabin to partially collapse. Captain
Alyza feels something is not quiet right about the Cingi story of
themselves.
Meanwhile back on DS 101, Katie, Bel Jackson and Nurse Jacki Liles talk
about the Senior Staff's disappearance. Nonac takes her first solo
foray about the station. The time-ship, Trax, is able to locate
themissing Senior Staff. Attempts at communication fail.

USS NIGHTINGALE
CO: Commander Pol Canon
GM: Mistie Smith
(SitRep by Paul Cannon)
**********************************
The Starship NIGHTINGALE continues to mediate discussions between the
Helnai and Praq, in orbit of the Helnai home world.
V'Vorn Choksha, the NIGHTINGALE's new Security Chief, continues to
search for Sej, a member of the Praq delegation now missing. The
Andorian/Betazoid introduces the idea of a honor "duel" to the Helnai
and Praq, a foreign concept to the war mongering race. About 30 ships
launch from Helnai, fighter heading for the NIGHTINGALE.
The Medical Frigate is no match for the fighters, and the situation is
worsened when the fighters activate a warp dampening field, rendering
the NIGHTINGALE's warp drive ineffective.
FO Stuart continues to speak with various delegates. President Horth
announces his planned retirement to Stuart. Receiving word of the
fighters' launch, the CO, FO, and President Horth and Tilira join the
other senior staff on the Bridge. President Horth and Tilira share what
they know of the situation and the NIGHTINGALE crew consider their
options. Commander Canon decides to move the NIGHTINGALE as far away as
possible.
Choksha decides to take several runabouts out to draw fire away from the
NIGHTINGALE and to destroy as many of the fighters as possible.
Included in the flight crew is Lt. Commander Marcol Narai, who visits
Dr. McCuen prior to the flight due to blackouts he has experienced
during his re-training. The flight teams are Ensigns Perr and Novak;
T'Cao, flying with V'Vorn Choksha; and Dr. McCuen, flying with Marcol
Narai. While the flight crews prepare for departure, engineering is
having a hard time keeping the shields from failing. In addition, the
NIGHTINGALE's new Chief Science Officer, a Vulcan named T'Mal, is
knocked unconscious when the main bridge science console explodes in his
face. The runabouts depart the NIGHTINGALE and engage the enemy
fighters. Several fighters are destroyed, but the NIGHTINGALE is still
being hammered hard. Mrell departs in his own shuttle as well, reaching
Helnai without major incident. With shields near failure, Ops Officer
Ensign Alex Thayer recommends a bold course of action - initiation of an
EM pulse. This would knock out all ships in the area... includingM the
NIGHTINGALE. Hopefully, the NIGHTIGALE's restart sequence would be
faster than that of the fighters.
Without warning, the EM pulse is delivered. The NIGHTINGALE, runabouts,
and fighters are all disabled. Unfortunately, a group of fighters is
still near to the NIGHTINGALE. Admiring the daring plan, and without
other apparent options, Choksha attempts to jump to warp, hoping the
concentration of subspace 'pollution' inhibiting warp drive is low
enough for a quick micro-jump into the fighters. Having left the
runabout in an escape pod, Choksha wonders if his tactic worked.

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.

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 constructed 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.
