Today we assembled in the main shuttle bay to observe the memorial services
for Rose the Entire crew was their. ComoKnight Said Some Very Deep and
emotinal words and one by one the crew began to cry I was the Last to start
to cry My Vulcan side not able to hold back my over flow of human Emotions
for Rose.
Renne Slipped her hand into mine and we stood next to each other listening to
his words then Renne but her Head on me and all I could to to help comfort
her wa sto hug her gently and hold her. I know my powers to Feel the thoughts
of others is limited but I felt the pain of the loss of Rose from every one
but you need not have any powers th red thoughts all you had to do was look
around.
Then Comoknight with his eyes filled with tears SALUTES As the Coffen is
raised onto the Shuttle The Entire Crew Saluted as the Coffen was loaded onto
the shuttle and the shuttle departed ::Shighs ::
After The Memorial we were to go back to our normall Duties...I asked Renne
if she was ok she said Yes i'm ok and she walked of... Then LCmdr Sela left
me in charge of engineerin as she was too upset to work. then I walked into a
TL "Engineering" and got off at engineering and sat down.
I had a feeling that Dalinn wasn't "ok" as she had said so I activated the
Computers Auto-Engineer and procced to Find her "Computer Locate Lt Dalinn "
<computer> "Lt Dalinn is heading to Deck 5" Then I walked to a TL "Deck 5 "
and arrived and began to walk to Renne's quarters and just stood in front of
the door as to not activate the Door Chime...I wasn't sure if I should go in
or not...But then the door opened and we saw each other and...

{S Tap} Shuttle Abbeylaine to USS Federation. First Lieutenant Rogue
Quodlibet requesting permission to come aboard.

{S Tap} USS Federation to Shuttle Abbeylaine. Welcome aboard, sir. Proceed
to shuttlebay one.

{S Tap} Acknowledged. Thank you, Federation.... proceeding to shuttlebay
one... ::::Rogue expertly piloted the shuttle towards the designated bay,
doing a small roll over the nacelles...::::

{S Tap} We saw that, sir...

:::Rogue grins as she recognizes the voice::::

{S Tap} Ah, well.... it's been a long journey, Federation.... :::smiles:::

::::Rogue pilots the shuttle into the bay, and runs system shutdown routines
as the bay repressurizes:::: She can see Edenic broadly grinning behind the
glass of the control booth:::

:::As soon as the shuttlebay has returned to normal, Rogue disembarks and
runs over to hug her twin brother:::

"I volunteered to escort the new CMO to her quarters," he said laughing.

Rogue grinned back. "Well, in that case, Lieutenant, get my bags and let's
go."

"Oh, sure, pull rank on me, sir." Edenic chuckled, but he got her bags and
led her out to the hallways.

The pair got on the turbolift, and Edenic called out the floor number. As the
lift moved towards its destination, he smiled at his sister.

"You know who's XO aboard, don't you?"

Rogue nodded, looking at Ed. "Ariell Johannson, yes?"

Ed arched an eyebrow. "She's about ready to wring my neck. I won't tell her
anything."

She laughed loudly. "And if I know Ariell, she's about ready to blow a blood
vessel, trying to figure you out."

He laughed too. "That's an understatement. I am just trying to avoid her."

They stepped out of the turbolift and headed down the hall towards Rogue's
new quarters.

"I wonder what she's going to think about you coming aboard as CMO?"

Rogue rolled her eyes. "I can just imagine it now."

Edenic keyed the pad outside her new quarters, and the doors slid open. He
carried her bags in and put them by the bed. The doors slid shut behind
Rogue.

"I'm starting to feel like a porter," he grumbled. "Where's my tip?"

Rogue laughed again. "You're Starfleet security. It's not just a job, it's an
adventure."

"Oh, thanks."

"Hey, I put in my time in Security. And I loved it. You'll grow to love it."

"It's just weird being back in regulations. Not just IN them, but enforcing
them."

Rogue thwapped her brother on the arm. "Yeah, you always did have a problem
with rules, you little Maquis, you."

He grinned. "Ariell thinks the Maquis are about to take over the ship. I
don't have the heart to tell her any differently."

Two pair sat down on the bed and laughed til their sides hurt.

"Oh... stop it.... I can't stand it.... anymore...." Rogue laughed. "Arie's
my friend, and I love her, but... oh, this is going to be one tought
explination!"

Causing it, But we Cont. To Lose Power and Cmdr Sela went to the Bridge to
Help corridante with them.
This left ME in engineering by myself <Not that I don't like to be by

more problems. Then the Ship was hit by Something What I'm not Sure <the
Probe did it as far as I know> when I fell I hit the Aux Power button which
engaged Aux Power this wasn't a bad thing just that I
wasn't told to but it turned out to be a Good Thing it Stabilized power for

heard Fst Lt Rose was also injured <Rose is(Was) Chief Medical Officer>.
Mean While Lt Edenic assisted me in Stabilizing the power Flow to the

Today was a slow day Cmdr Sela was not present...Ensign Phil wasn't around
either.. not that I mind... I decided to go to the bridge-No one in
engineering- so I got to the bridge Glanced at Dalinn...Nodded to the Cmdr
and Como and took the Egineering Station on the bridge...I also watched what
was happening on the bridge- since I don't often get a chance to go to the
Bridge-we were near a planet Curel 3 I believe near the DMZ on the screen I
saw a Jem`Hadar warship but it had no crew... Cmdr Ariell
wanted to beam down to the planet and I was on the AT, Cmdr Areill, Dalinn,
and others
Their we NO signs of life nor the Colony I was looking around and saw a
Cave appear after an earthquake which moved a giant bulder...we bagan to
investagate when an little animal appeared I moved closer as Dalinn aimed at
the little creature as did another Officer <Sorry I can't remember everyone
who beamed down> I was more courious on how, what it was then another Quake
hit and the ground fell in and before we knew the whole AT was at the bottom
of the sink whole but their was a field which was
stoping the Ship and us from getting out...I looked at the field and decided
I could disable it with my gear ... someone asked if they could fire at the
field but my scans showed if he'd fired the field would do one of 2 things 1
absorb the phaser fire 2 bounce off the field possibly hitting someone either
way it's not a good idea to shoot it.

Duty log
Stardate: 9611.4

We have just recently arrived at the Federation colony of Curel
3 all contact with the settlement near the cardassian border
had been lost 2 weeks ago and so Starfleet sent a ship to
investigate.
As we arrived at Curel 3 It was clear that all was not as it
should be. The colony was utterly destroyed, and the debris of
many ships orbited high over the planet. At first there
appeared to be no intact ships anywhere in orbit. a few seconds
later however I discovered a small Jem'Hadar escort hiding in
the dark side of the planet's electromagnetic field, the small
ship was almost totally destroyed, life support totally
non-existent and all the Jem'Hadar on board killed.
Because of the lack of life support on the ship sending an away
team was impossible. Using the tractor beam might be an option
but the first order of business was to search for survivors on
the planet's surface.
No survivors were found, but the away team found a small single
celled life form of unknown type.
After the away team beamed down to the surface, A Galor class
warship approached us at high warp, hailed us claiming we were
in violation of their space and opened fire on us slightly
damaging our long range sensor grid. We returned fire damaging
their warp drive.
this whole mission isn't making much sense but hopefully It
will all be clarified very soon.

We are on our way to Curel III which us near Cardassian space. The
colony did not respond to the Federation for a couple of days, so we were
sent out. After five minutes we reached Curel III. We found a Jem'Hadar ship
but no life signs. Commander Ariell decided to lead an Away Team to the
surface, I am part of the Away Team. I also told Ariell that I detected low
level ion radiation on the planet, probably from a ship's engins. When I
beamed down I detected a small building of some sort on a
mountain. Dar detected a cloacked building of some sort. There seems to be
alot of earthquakes on the planet. We found a cave and headed for it. The
entrance was very huge.Then we detected caverns below the surface.The ground
beneith us is gone and we fall. Dar then said that the people use Ditrililum
to shake the planet.

The runabout Nile that transported me from my brief stay on the Odyssey
rendzvoused with the Federation and left me at my new posting. It has
returned back to its point of origin.

I was greeting by the Commanding Officer, Commodore Knight. He approved the
beam over and I waited in the transporter room until Knight sent an officer
to retrieve my belongings and me. I was a bit surprised that he was trying
to allow me some settling in time. I expected to be wisked away to the
Bridge.

The officer that came to take my belongings was a Lieutenant Edenic.
::Ariell pauses to remember the look on Edenic's face when he saw Ariell:: I
am not sure why Edenic is here, but I think that it is my duty to inform the
Captain of a few things. I am reluctant though because of the nature of our
past.

Things picked up considerably on the Federation because before I could get to
my quarters I was asked to report to the Bridge. I stopped the turbolift in
mid cycle and redirected it tot he Bridge.

Upon exiting the turbolift I was blinded by a brilliant flash of light. It
was painful to my eyes. On the view screen I could see something very
strange. I am still not totally sure what it was that I was seeing. It
appeared to be a probe of some kind, but scanners showed proof that it could
have been a living being or organism. It showed signs of life.

The ship was jerked in many different directions as beeams from this probe
hit us. Crew members were tossed about the Bridge and in other parts of the
ship. I turned to assess the situation only to find injured crew members.
The Federation's Chief Medical Officer, First Lieutenant Rose was requested
to the Bridge. She arrived post haste and began tending to the injured.

After a few more jolts of the ship the lights went completely out. It was an
eery silence that lay over the Bridge as a scramble was made to restore at
least emergency lights. I tried to feel my way around the railing, but
thankfully the lights came back on.

I looked up to see a couple of downed crew members. One was Rose. I had not
been introduced to the rest of the crew so I do not have an idea of who she
was. I do believe I heard someone say that her name was Sela.

Rose was injured herself, but she endeavoured to give medical attention to
Sela. After Knight pointed out her injuires to her, Rose tried to remain
stubborn and work on Sela. Rose then collapsed form her injuries and was
beamed to sickbay along with Sela, and another doctor. I do believe her name
was Beeg.

Commodore Knight seemed very distraught at Rose's injuries. He left me in
charge of the Bridge and headed for sickbay immediately.

I have a request to make. I have noticed that there is a door that leads to
an adjoining room to my quarters. I will your permission to use the
adjoining room as an addition to my quarters.

I am sure that this seems like an unusual request, but I assure you that I
have a reason for it. My family will be arriving in a few days to live with
me on the Federation. I need them to be in the room next to me, as I can not
see to thier care if they aren't.

Today was still a sad day for the crew of the Federation. Commodore Knight
hels a memorial service for First Lieutenant Rose. Rose's coffin was loaded
into a shuttle to return to Trill. The arrangements passed by my desk.
Although Rose was half Klingon and half human, she lived most of her life on
Trill. She is to be buried next to her recently passed away mother.

The crew was visually effected by the loss of their fellow crew member. I
noticed that First Lieutenant Wingnt and Commodore Knight were the most
effected. I have made a note that the Counselor shoud visit each of them
soon.

Commodore Knight has granted my request for the dual position of Counselor
and First Officer. I have moved Knight and Wingnt to the top of my list of
people to see as the Counselor.

I have so many things to catch up on as the First Officer. The previous XO,
Commander Mason, left many weeks ago. There are many things that went undone
in the absence of a First Officer.

The Commodore seems open to my suggestions so far. I am encouraged by this.
I know this crew is a fine one and has the potential to go far. I think that
all of us just need a little something to light our fires. I can only hope
that I can create enough of a diversion for the crew to do so. They deserve
no less than my utmost attention, respect, and sincerity.

The USS Federation rendezvoused with our new Chief Medical Officer, First
Lieutenant Rogue. Rogue has reported to duty to sickbay. Lieutenant Junior
Grade Michlach is her assistant. Whenever I get back I am going to request
that Michlah be promoted to the position of Assistant Chief Medical Officer.

We headed to Curel 3 after we picked up Rogue. Starfleet stopped receiving
transmissions from them over amonth or so ago. When we arrived around the
planet it appeared that we had encountered a Jem Hadar ship. I have NO idea
why a Jem'Hadar ship would be this far from the wormhole and the Gamma
Quadrant. I am sure that the Federation officers will investigate the
prospect.

I lead an away team to the planet to try to locate the colony. First
Lieutenant Rogue and First Lieutenant Mike were part of that away team.
First Lieutenant Dalinn, Lieutenant Junior Grade Dar and Lieutenant Maarek
also joined the team.

The tricorders picked up some sort of cloaked type building. The terrain was
rocky and rough. The ground began to quake. All of tricorders told us that
the occurance was not natural.

We tried to communicate with the ship. From what I could tell the ship was
under attack. I am not sure if it was from the Jem'Hadar vessel or another
vessel. Communications were difficult with the ship.

As we head towards the cloaked area it seemed like the quakes got longer and
more violent. At one point the ground opened up in front of us. We had to
catch each other so that we didn't fall in.

The safety was not to be savoured because not long after the quake that
opened in front of us came, we had another one. The ground beneath us seemed
to just open up and swallow us. We all hit the ground under the Earth.
There are caverns or caves beneath the surface.

I tried to crawl up to the opening, but there seems to be some sort of field
above us. My hand just bounced off the surface. I slid back down the cavern
wall to join the rest of the away team.

First Lieutenant Rogue was trying to see to the wounds of the group. Dar and
Dalinn were trying to recompose themselves so that they could see to the
security of the group.

Computer, define "DITRLIUM"

Computer> Ditrilium is a rare crystalize mineral. Dense structure and high
tencil strength. Melting point: 72824.6 degrees Kelvin, Freezing point: 2
degrees Kelvin. Found in the crust layer, in extremely low quantities. It
causes tectonic instability in the crust, even in small quantities, due its
low resonance frequency. With the introduction of radioactive Xenon (223)
isotope Ditrilium can be converted in to Dilithium. The relationship of this
interaction is 1 to 1. This interaction yields 2
grams of Dilithium for every 1 gram of Xenon and 1 gram of Ditrilium

Thank you, Computer.

Computer, please locate LtCmdr Wingnut
Computer> LtCmdr Wingnut is in Science Lab 1.

Computer, please send the Ditrilium information to LtCmdr Wingnut, Chief
Science Officer, along with this note.
While at the Vulcan Science Academy, a colleague of mine was working with
Ditrilium. His studies focused on using Ditrilium as a substitute for
Dilithium. He discovered that Ditrilium was stronger and focused energy
better than Dilithium. The only problem was that Ditrilium has a tendency to
require more anti-matter at high warp velocities (warp 9.2 and above), six
time more and causes a reflux of energy though the main EPS. Ditrilium is
also very rare and is found in very small quantities and
that just finding the substance is difficult When this was discovered he
lost his funding from Starfleet and dropped all research. It appears that
the Cardassians have found a large deposit of Ditrilium on Curel III and are
mining it. Do you have any other information regarding Ditrilium?

Stardate 9611.06
USS Federation
Chief Tactical Officer / Tactical Engineer
LCmdr Joval, reporting

The Federation has been dispatched to Curel system to investigate a
colony on Curel III which has been out of contact for over a week. The Curel
system is on the edge of Federation space and boarders Cardassian space.
Once we arrived in the system we encountered a badly damaged JemHardar
warship, with no life signs aboard. LtJg Jaw has done a full tactical scan
of the ship. The scans revealed that the ship was engaged in a battle and
was nearly destroyed. According to scans, all hands were
lost. Life support is at minimal levels and most systems are down,
including offensive and defensive systems. I'm debating whether to suggest
sending an AT to the ship or just tow it to a nearby starbase where it could
be properly secured. I will inform the Commordor of our options.
Once in orbit of Curel III we also encountered a Cardassian, Galor
class, vessel. The Cardassians report that this planet is in Cardassian
space and are ordering us to leave. There is no evidence that this planet is
in Cardassian space, and that we were in violation of Federation/Cardassian
treaty. The Cardassaian have taken no provocative moves at this time but
remains in orbit with us.
The Galaor class ship is a modified version. The armaments and weapons
systems were increased and their warp capability was decreased. After doing
a detailed scan of the ship we discovered a crystline element known as
Ditrilium. It was in the hold of the ship and in high quanities. Scans have
also revealed Ditrilium to be present in the crust layer of Curel III. The
Cardassians maybe mining the substance and converting it to Dilithiun. This
would account for the instability in the planets
surface.
Cmdr Ariell is currently leading an AT on the planet surface to
investigate the colony. We have been try to keep a lock on her position but
we are encountering some artifical interference. We have lost our
transporter lock on the AT.The TR is trying to re-establish the lock, but to
no avail.

Currently we are in orbit around Curel III. After a series of earthquakes on
the surface, we have lost our lock on the away team: Cmdr Ariell, FstLts
Dalinn, Mike and Rogue, Lt. Maarek and Ltjg. Dar.

We also have company -- a modified Galor class Cardassian ship, which is
claiming that the planet is within its territory. :::grits teeth at memories
of the Cardassians::: Lt Cdr. Joval has reported that the ship's holds
contain large amounts of Ditrilium, which apparently is also present in Curel
III's crust.

If these Cardassians are using this planet as a mining source, we could be in
for a battle to get our AT back.

Computer Open Duty Log

Self diagnostics are now complete, I returned to duty just in time to receive
a promotion. I have subsequently reviewed the computer logs, files and
recordings of the events that transpired while I was off duty and unable to
interact with other crew members. I am concerned about the status of the
away team who seem to have fallen into a rift on the planet surface. I am
also concerned about the fact that ditrilium was found in quantity on an
alien ship. Though it can be converted to dilithium it is
also a volitile and dangerous substance to work with and needs to be handled
with care.
Computer End log
::Memo to self, make sure and discuss ditrilium with LCmdr Joval:::

[Return to Archives | Return to Listing ]

LCmdrJoval,

Thank you for your information on the ditrilium and for "brining me up to
speed" on our status since my being off duty and running my self diagnostics.
While ditrilium is useful it is also as you know, dangerous. Yes it can be
used when processed properly to dilithium. I personally feel the Cardasians
are fools or geniuses for using it. They must have developed new mining
techniques since the time when research on ditrilium was last abandoned;
which would make them geniuses. However if they are using the old mining and
processing techniques that caused the loss of life of so many, then they are
simply fools. Though an android, my data base is only
as current as information that the Federation has, so I can not add to any
knowledge you already have access to, but I would be happy to work with you
on any way we can handle this find. If the Cardasians have developed new
ways to work with ditrilium, this is too valuable a find to pass
up...however, in previous dealings with the Cardasians, we all know they will
not be willing to share any information with us willingly. It may be not
only a scientific matter, but a military one, especially
considering what has happened to the colony on the surface. I only hope
they weren't so stupid as to sacrifice a whole colony for the sake of the
ditrilium.

We started out on our way to Curel 3 near Cardassion space to find out whats
the problem there. When we got there things started to get strange first we
found a Jem'Hadar ship just sitting there defenseless with no lifesigns on
board. I went on an away team to go down to the planet. I was equipped with
a phaser rifle. When we beamed down there we looked around a bit and I ran
into some sort of invisible wall. There was also some major seismic activity
on the surface. The earthquakes kept getting
bigger and bigger. There was also some sort of creature reaming around us
who later we found out were shaking the ground by using ditrilitium. '

Still trapped on the surface I can't think of anything to do. A person
looking a bit like a Cardassian approaches us. The person starts talking to
me and Dar. The colonists are allright, the person motions to folow. His
name is Adam. We still have trouble communicating with the ship because of
the force field. He showed us were the colonists were, it was some type of
cavern. There were lots of people. The people placed the force field sp they
would not fight. Then Dar and I detected a pulse beam.
There was a small power source 600 meters ahead. We detected ditrium near
the beam. The pulse starts to get stronger and the ground shakes. We are
going to try to lower the power step by step untill it is low enough to turn
off. Also Dar, Rogue, and me are going to gather up the colonists. Maarek
did it, and the force field lowered. We returned to the ship.

We were able to access the computer of the Cardasian ship carrying the
ditrilium. First Sela and her crew disabled it with a proton pulse through
our deflector dish. Then Seth was able to send a carrier wave and Pike was
able to randomize their shield frequency just enough that we got through.
They also disguised our download as a malfunction on their computers part.
So while they were busy trying to locate their problems of a disabled ship
and computer we were able to download some very important
data. I was prepared to go over and access their computer directly if
needed but due to the ingenious work of our two ensigns that, fortunately,
was not necessary. The away team all made it back safely as well, I look
forward to reading the logs of what was going on down their while we were
fighting the Cardasians up here. One more very important note. LtCmdr Joval
reported just as we finished downloading the Cardasian computer info that his
scans showed there was no longer any ditrilium on board
their ship. This is disturbing and will have to be further investigated as
well as a complete study done on the information downloaded from the
Cardasians regarding their handling and mining of the ditrilium.

the shuttle Aurora and make up a believable "magic show" for the away team.
They were investigating a new, pre-industrial civilization; one Starfleet has

they can make things appear and disappear of their own free will. But
somehow, people have been vanishing. Just disappearing.
"Well, it looks like the away team can be added to their list of missing
persons. They beamed down to the surface dressed to blend in. We were able
to communicate with eachother, so at the appropriate times, I performed a few
"tricks" for them. I made some pots and beads appear in their hands for them
to sell. They entered a bar of some sort and were intending on
eavesdropping, but suddenly they vanished.
"Some kind of energy surge was found on the planet. A perimeter alarm

left. Lt Maarek has been put in charge of devising a way to track the aliens

We had just finished investigating the loss of contact with the
federation colony on Curel III when we were reassigned to
observe the planet Retari IV, the inhabitants of which were
reported to be exhibiting strange psychokinnetic powers. The
hidden federation research station on Retari IV also reported
that large numbers of the population had been disappearing with
no explainable cause.
When we arrived at the planet I detected high levels of
Psinetic radiation on the surface; normal for any planet with
that many psychokinnetics on one planet, they didn't seem to
pose any threat to the ship or away team though, (Psinetic
radiation is a type of rare radiation produced in tiny amounts
by the brain certain species with almost non-existent to highly
advanced telepathic/psychokinnetic abilities, including **but
not limited to: Vulcans, *Romulans, *Klingons, Talosians,
Rigelians, Mintakans and Excalbians.)
The odd thing though was that the Retarian's brain is incapable
of psychokinnetic activity let alone emitting Psinetic
radiation. Yet there it was all the same.
An away team was then sent down to the planet's surface to
investigate this mystery more closely.
While I was left on the bridge at tactical, a Psinetic flare of
some kind was building in the planet's upper atmosphere.
undetectable until it was too late, the flare of Psinetic
radiation hit the ship, I was apparently the only one on the
ship affected by the flare. I collapsed, entering a weird dream
state <<Aren't they all>> I think that some aliens who were
possibly the ones making the Retarians disappear, were creating
the weird dream state that I kept going in and out of. I
couldn't tell much from the dreams, save the fact that I think
the aliens really want us to leave.
Thankfully the dreams seem to have ended at least for now,
Chief medical officer Rogue is still confining me to Sickbay,
so there hasn't been much else for me to do than just sit
around all day.

It had been a fairly quiet day in Sickbay until this evening, when Ltjg. Jaw
was sent down from the bridge, where he had collapsed. Scans indicated heavy
neural activity, similar to increased neural stimulation associated with
strong telepathic ability. Jaw's medical records do not indicate such
abilities in the past, so we are currently trying to diagnose what may have
triggered his latent abilities.

Brain synapse activity levels are much higher than safety parameters permit,
so we have sedated him to enduce lower levels.

LtCmdr Joval, reporting

I'm currently leading an away team on a planet called Retari IV, the
inhabitants of which were reported to be exhibiting strange psychokinetic
powers. Starfleet has a concealed Federation research station on Retari IV.
The station has noticed that large numbers of the population had been
disappearing with no explainable cause.
The current evolutionary level of these people is the same as the
Nomadic tribes of ancient Europe. Other than their extraordinary
psychokinetic abilities they appear to be quite primitive.
Our AT was sent here to investigate the strange disappearance of
natives. The AT consisted of Sela, Wing, Dar, Drew, Dalinn, and myself.
Currently our efforts have drew some attention because we have been
unwillingly transported to some type of holding area. We have lost all
communication with LtCmdr Sela, who was on the shuttle monitoring our
situation and allowing us to look like natives, with the aid of the
transporters. LtCmdr Wing has found a ventilation duct. This seem to be our
only way
out. I believe that I will morph into a gelatinous form and find a way out
of the holding cell. Once I'm out I'll free the others...

inhabitants of Retari IV. They were supposed to be a simple pre-industrial
race yet seemed to be have psychokinetic powers. We were sent to investigate
the fact that large numbers of people had been disappearing without any
apparent reason. Upon our arrival I followed Joval (in charge of the

the shuttle in orbit creating the illusion that we too had the ability to
make things appear and disappear. We then met up with Dar, Drew and Dalinn
to find an eating establishment both to swage the crew's hunger and to try to
pick up some news about the disappearances or about any contact they had with
any other races. Before we could eat we suddenly found ourselves in a dark
cell of some sort with no apparent doors or windows. We have lost all
communication with Sela on shuttle and have lost all

I began to wake up... and finaly got up and sat up on the Bio bed and I said
" where am I .... Sick bay... Hello Rogue am I ok" My mind was refocusing on
what I had known and I was fully Conscious. Rogue Final gave me the AOK to go

my way back Feklhr asked if I was ok I told him I was "Fine" and CmdrSela
wanted to know about the Deflector Dish I again
said " It's working fine".

It was a very confusing day today. First of all those red eyes that no one
else saw grabbed me and threw me in to another cell. Why? I do not know.
Anyways i got carried away into another dark cell. I walked around that cell
and heard voices. Voices i was getting close to. I heard the conversations
of fellow crew members and joined them in their talk. I heard them through
the vent. It seems that the ventalation system makes fairly loud echoes so
it is very easy to hear someone who is far away
from you. Then I started to somehow be heading away from the voices.
Eventually when i was walking I tripped over a rope I picked it up in case it
would be useful in upcoming events. Meanwhile my crewmembers were talking to
me thinking i was unconsious since I was not talking at all. I also heard
sneezing. I assumed it was Dalinn and she was in a shaft. I entered the
shaft and followed the sneezing and ran into Dalinn. We came to a room with
light!!! Oh glorious light!!! It took awhile for our
eyes to adjust but they did. We heard voices. Who they were from? I don't
know. I heard a voice say use the rope. I looked up and there was an
opening so we threw the rope up and climbed it and went outside. I tried to
contact the ship but was unsucessful. We came to a door and now we are

I'm finally back on regular duty again, after being in sickbay
for a while. I haven't had a relapse of dream state and CMO
Rogue couldn't find any abnormal readings.
My final relapse however was quite enlightening as to the
identity and motives of the Aliens or the Telek~na as they call
themselves, they were apparently worshiped as gods on Retari
IV. They had granted the powers to the Retarians in exchange
for "Tribute" which is almost definitely the reason the natives
are disappearing. It's doubtful however if the Retarians ever
entered into this agreement in the first place, the link with
the Telek~na seems to indicate that in their "godlike" wisdom
they decided that this was the best plan for them and went
ahead with their plan to slowly enslave the residents while at
the same time being worshiped as gods and attracting less
attention from Starfleet than a full frontal assault on the
planet would.
The Telek~na also seem to want us to pay tribute to them too,
their huge egos still see us as small pitiful beings waiting to
be enslaved too, although they do seem to perceive us as
substantial threat also.

was wrong with Maarek, but it was obvious that X was...orally voiding. I
tried all kinds of hypos without success. I even tried an old Klingon cure
for indigesion that works on all species except some Ferengis (it usually
makes their ears ring). Nothing. He kept vomiting. Suprisingly, I didn't
join him.
I did get promoted to Assistant Cheif Medical Officer at this time. I am
spending much of my free time in sickbay looking for new genetic immunities
with hopes of finding new cures for incurable diseases.

Well I must say this day turned out to be full or interesting
happenings.
-Engineering-
I entered engineering and procceded to do my normal duties When Commodor
Knight Came over the COM and Said "We are Changing Course to intercept the
Borg with the Rest of the Fleet......." Then Commander Sela Had all Duty
Shifts Report And Prepar the Ship For an Attack.... ComoKnight "We are going
to Seperate the Ship" So Sela and I got ready for the Seperation. Cmdr Sela
took the Battle Star Section and I got the Saucer Section which all so has
warp capiblities.
-Engineering Station on the Saucer-
As soon as I got onto the Saucer we were just about in weapons range. I
procced in checking the Modulations of the Shields and Phasers I didn't want
to miss anything. they all checked out ok. The Battle Beigns. We had engaged
the Borg. Well I was abe to keep the Saucer toghter ::Makes Note: Send a
Bottle of Ale to the Work crew who built this ship:: It wasn't to hard there
were so many Federation Ships. We had a few Problems though the shields
weren't Modulating quikly enought which aloud the Borg to
get our shield lower than I would like >55%< at one time but I quikly
Compinsated. We also had a minor problem with the Phaser Bank #2 but all
other phaser Banks are working. Overall we sustained Moderate Damage to our
systems. Currently we are doing ok with power we haven't had to many problems
There although A few of the Engineering crew weren't paying attention to
what they were doing and ran into each other I'd say we had a pretty
::thinks:: Fun Filled Day. Note: at last Check Shields at 70%
Weapons power was a little on the Low side and Aux Power has been engaged.

There is a borg threat to the planet earth yet again. We were sent to help
in the defenses. We also had many new officers on the bridge that were from
other ships that were sent to help. To prepare I assigned security officers
to parts of the ship that need defense. When we reached the borg ship we
seperated the ship into 2 parts. I was at tactical at this time on the
Saucer Section. I targeted a power fluctuation on the borg ship. But I was
not succesful in destroying the power fluctuation.
While I did weaken the fluctuation it kept coming and coming and changing
the frequencies of the beam. I suspect that is a weapon of some sort. Also
the USS Liberty was destroyed there were many escape pods jettisoned. We
have already retrieved some of the pods but I don't know how many more we can
get without causing serious damage to our ship.

Maarek's and Dalinn's twins when, what happens? We go to red alert. So,
like any good warrior and doctor (can you use those words in the same

The next thing I know, I feel the ship beginning to shake. Separation
time. I heard from someone in the hall that we were attacking the Borg. For
some reason, I decided to kick out the access panels...just in case. While
I'm looking around for other weapons than my dagger, phaser and phaser rifle,
Knight orders me to the bridge. When I arrive, I see a LCmdrADF on the floor
with severe electical burns to his face. While I was treating him, he
mysteriously disappears. While I was trying to figure out that magic stunt,
Knight and Dalinn both fell on the floor with injuries and unconsciousness.
I attempted to treat them among utter and total chaos.

The USS Federation was ordered to go to Earth. Our ETA is 4 minutes
until we reach the battle site. Knight and Ariell have decided to separate
the ship. Ariell has command of the Saucer Section. Knight has command of
the BB, I'm on the BB. Earlier before I created a program to monitor the
ship's key systems during a battle, that system in activated. We had a burn
out of bank 5 of phasers. I rerouted it to another bank of phasers.

We have just been reassigned from our previous investigation of
the Telek~na aliens, to the fleet defending Earth form the
latest Borg attack.
We intercepted the Cube ship and two of the three assimilated
borg drones at 21:17 hours, I was assigned to Ops/Helm on the
saucer when we initiated saucer separation.
We sustained moderate damage from the Borg's attacks and so I
pulled us away from the cube ship and out of weapons range, the
battle seems to be going our way, but the Borg are quickly
adapting to our weapons. We need some new weapon to finish them
off. I have proposed a new weapon to be used in tandem with Lt
Cmdr Wingnut's idea of using a titanium projectile.

Supplemental
Stardate: 9612.6

Planned matter phasing cloak weapon:

During the weeks after my defection to starfleet. I still had
access to several key Romulan security channels. One message I
intercepted was about a romulan encounter with the starship
Enterprise-D regarding a matter phasing cloak <<In layman's
terms; something that lets you pass through solid matter>>.
Starfleet had been developing a cloak in violation of the
treaty of Algeron, the secret romulan report also detailed the
suspicion that Starfleet had another such cloak hidden away.
Then, clandestine scanning of Starfleet databases indicated
that this was indeed true, <<Don't worry, section 55.75.893 of
the federation revised counter-intelligence code absolves me
from any guilt in these matters ;-) >>.
I also discovered plans for an Intrepid class USS Pegasus-A, to
be launched on the date that the cloak clause of the treaty of
Algeron expired.
Therefor when I saw that the Pegasus-A was involved in the
battle with the borg I began to have this idea of how to use
this cloak to our advantage.
I believe that by loading a shuttle with the cloak and
Trilithium explosives we would be able to send the shuttle to
the center of the borg cube ship, and then, simultaneously
phasing in and detonating the explosives at the same time, as
the cube is being bombarded with Lt Cmdr Wingnut's titanium
projectiles. That this would either destroy the Borg or cripple
them enough to be able to end the battle with more conventional
weapons.
Obtaining the cloak would involve: beaming over to the crippled
Pegasus, and retrieving the cloak.
Blowing up the borg ship would involve: reconfiguring a shuttle
for the cloak, loading the shuttle with explosives and sending
the unmanned shuttle to the center of the cube ship.

Please tell me what you think of these plans ASAP

LtCmdr Joval, reporting

The Federation looks to be in great shape. According to the logs I have
missed quiet a battle. There is not much to mention on the tactical end of
this report. I must note that Lieutenant Jaw did a excellent job in keeping
tactical in order. As of late there has been may changes on the ship. The
Commodore has officially resigned his commission. Commander Ariell has been
promoted to Captain and has command of the Federation. LtCmdr Sela has also
resigned and has gone back to Vulcan. We are
currently missing a Executive Officer and a Second Officer. The captain
will be rotating these positions until permanent replacements can be found.
The crews seems to be handling the changes quite well. They seem ready
for change. The captain has scheduled a training mission for the crew. I
believe this will help the crew understand their position more and work
better as a team. We not been on a training mission for sometime now. It
should be interesting.

Today has been a very long day. Yesterday I was informed that Commodore
Michael Knight was resigning his post on the USS Federation. His resignation
became effective as of this evening. Starfleet Command gave the Commodore
permission to promote me to the rank of Captain and Commanding Officer of the
USS Federation.

Farewell ceremonies were held for Commodore Knight before he departed for his
home on Earth in a shuttle. We are currently in orbit around Earth. It
appears that Starfleet has some meetings and such planned for me. I assume
that it is to familiarize me wtih the procedures of this step in command.

I have planned a few training exercises for the crew as they continue to
repair the ship. I haven't been posted to the Federation long as its First
Officer. I hadn't totally had the time to familiarize myself with the crew's
abilities. This will assist in being able to find out what they are capable
of.

After the training mission I will grant shoreleaves to Earth for those that
request it on a rotational basis. I will also grant down time to the
departments. We are still trying to recover from our part in the battle
against the Borg. I think that the crew needs the time to relax.

I was surprised that Starfleet promoted me to Captain. It was not expected
so soon. Commodore Knight gave a fine farewell speech to the crew. He seems
to feel that I am up for the job. There were others there that honored the
Commodore in the farewell ceremonies. A few of his former shipmates that
were in the area visited to say their farewells. Different members of the
crew also had some fine words to say about the Commodore.

The Federation is a good crew, and I look forward to continuing to serve with
them.
