CO: Captain Judah Gibbons
GM: Janet Gist
***************************
With his FO semi-obediently in Sickbay, CO Judah Gibbons turns to his
other doctor-avoiding officer. After getting her to (in the line of
duty) admit that there is no current need for her at Tactical, he tells
CSO Mercedes McCarter to report to Sickbay as well. Naturally, she
resists at first, but ends up going "to humor him." Her burns treated,
McCarter is at a loss how to occupy her time. As she passes the
counsellor's office, she decides to pop in on him and talk to her
friend. She notices him rubbing his neck and offers to give him a
massage, making him quite uncomfortable. Counsellor/patient relations
are not supposed to go where he finds himself wanting their relationship
to go and the pangs of his conscience drive him to make Mercedes stop
the massage. Just as he is explaining his discomfort, Captain Gibbons
drops by. Already nervous and embarrassed, Woods leaps to attention and
bangs his leg on his desk. Gibbons smilingly cautions the counsellor,
then asks to speak with McCarter and they leave him, mercifully leaving
Woods to his bruised shin.
When FO Miranda Sands is cleared for duty again, Gibbons asks for a
second opinion on ship status. She agrees with his assessment that the
ship is capable of continuing, but it would be very risky. Sands
volunteers to check with each department individually to get a
finer-tuned
perspective from which to decide if they should make some
information-gathering runs before leaving the area or if they should
return to OMEGA for repairs right away.

******************
CSciO Melody Cuen dreams of being banished from somewhere, and
throughout the day she continues to have difficulty concentrating on her
work. CSO James Mauler gets trapped on the holodeck due to the blackout
caused by the mutated virus, but manages to escape. CMO Bill Patton
slowly recovers from the flu infection and remains under the care of his
girlfriend, Ensign Kathy Rhule, for the next several hours. OPS Blaze
Starsinger interfaces with the computer in order to rid it of the virus,
which is slowly wreaking havoc aboard the ship.
CNS Bordaq (Tal) and his fiancéée Amy (Human) ask Patton if it's
possible for them to have a baby. To their joy, they hear it's
possible - although it's a rather complicated process. Later, Bill takes
another step towards a relationship with Kathy, and invites her for
dinner. Just then, CEO Dariale runs into sickbay with the good news that
she's found a cure for the flu virus. They take it to Starsinger, who
brings it into the
computer systems to battle the digital virus as well. Just as everyone
and everything starts to recover, Ensign Electra Threin arrives via
D-Warp. Although Patton doesn't know yet, she'll be taking over from him
as CMO.
Dr. Wednesday, the man who twice abducted FCO Jarek Malaar into another
reality, has somehow appeared aboard the Horizon. He's taken into
custody, but soon escapes. A search party is sent out, which will
hopefully lead to some answers about him.
On Kindela, Starsinger's homeworld, a scientist is looking for
volunteers to take a trip to a number of alternate realities - or
alternities, as she calls them.
Arkanis, Cady and the rest of the SpecOps team respond to a summon from
Chug, a bully from Cady's youth. Shortly after their arrival, Garal, an
old enemy from the Horizon, and a couple of Trasiens take on the
likelinesses of the SpecOps members and make their way to the Horizon.
There, Garal wants to take revenge on Cmdr. Haynes, former FO, who is
visiting the ship. With the help of Ambassador P'Nehbuddar, Captain
Tergin succeeds in spoiling her plans. In the meantime, Cady has to
fight Chug to be reunited with his boyfriend Madwyn. Cady can keep Chug
from killing Madwyn, but Chug manages to escape Cady's rage. Not much
later, he returns to kill Madwyn after all. Just when Cady is about to
kill Chug, D'Art shoots the boy officer unconscious. Using the Horizon's
old stardrive section - which Garal had procured for her plans -, the
SpecOps team returns to the Horizon just in time to save Tergin,
P'Nehbuddar, Haynes and Garal from the new stardrive, which Haynes had
set to self-destruct as revenge on Garal.
The next day, Tergin announces he has been promoted to Admiral and will
leave to take command of Emerald Fleet. Dr. Patton will also leave;
he'll be transferring to the USS Yorktown. Fortunately for him, Kathy
can come along as his head nurse. When the staff meeting is over, Bill
asks her to marry him. She happily says yes.
At the Utopia Planitia Shipyards, LtCmdr. James Burke receives orders to
pack on move to the Cocoon. He'll become the new CO of the USS Horizon.

********************************
Omega Star Base:
With the trial of Qoensal still under way, Ganston the prosecutor starts
off quite strong, but as soon as Nadine Schmidt takes the floor, the
proceeding then shifts again as she produces her star witness Ensign
Ch'Iv Ss, who brought into the trial some of his own experiences that
he had gone through, during the times the Intel Officer was tortured by
the Jem Hader.
After a few comments being thrown back and forward, from Lt. Ganston and
Lt.jg Schmitd, Qoensal starts having some sort of attack, falling to the
ground, with his temperature rising so much, Rentarian burnout, filling
the room with smoke, blowing his defense lawyer almost 10 feet away
from him, as she was doing her very best to try and keep him cool but
to no avail. Moments later, McKendrick was spotted, by Nadine Schmitd,
pointing and looking throw the smoke filled room, and knows that he has
something to do with what just went on.
USS Hermes:
Thinking that he is going a little senile, Ensign N'Borga (CEO) had his
first encounter with Newton an AI program which introduced itself, but
due to the nature of the CEO, didn't believe what was going on and went
to Sickbay, to make sure he wasn't going crazy, only to find out that
everyone does know about Newton.
The arrival of the ships new XO, LtCmdr Joshua Ryan arrives.

DS101
CO: Captain Alyza

*****************
Ensign Goose is able to determine the LEGACY's course to the Degrad
System. Marta recovers in Sickbay and accepts Dryden marriage proposal.
Foley's and Nonac's evening is interrupted by a visit from her
prospective employer. Foley negotiates a better deal before agreeing to
her working at a new gaming establishment.
TRAX is launched with LtCmdr Fischer, Goose, and Poynton aboard to stop
LEGACY's attack. Upon interception, TRAX cooperates with a Degrad Fleet.
Speeder is able to open a hole in LEGACY's shields and Fischer, Goose,
and Poynton beam aboard. The LEGACY is equipped with the Xu'sorfian
planet-buster weapon, all it needs is the interface program in Roberts
head. It is being prepared to fire. Fischer, Goose, and Poynton
materialize on LEGACY's Bridge. A few well placed phaser shots takes
care of the opposition and Axalon is back in control of the ship.
Unfortunately the planet-buster weapon is still set on automatic and
unable to be stopped. Axalon drops all shields. Roberts, Fischer, Goose,
and Poynton beam back to Trax. All ships open fire and destroy the
LEGACY and Axalon before the planet-buster fires.

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.
