Fleet Announcements and Ship News

 

Recruitment was in full force for the month of August.  The Nelson and the Alliance have outdone themselves and also helped the Washington with a new member.  And it was remiss of me last month to skip the newest XO of the Washington.  There was no actual news announcement made I'm afraid.  But a warm welcome to Commander Andrew Keegan.  His personnel record can be found on the Washington's website.  Check out the pic...nice.  He has wrote well and steady since joining the Fleet.

 

Also, the Fleet Admiralty and Staff have asked and voted for a council of 3 candidates to address the PG-13 issue, when the need arises.  This council will review any post that the Command Staff of any ship feels may overstep the FPF PG-13 rating.  We want our Fleet to be accessible to all members.  If you are interested, please forward your request to Admiral Rook Mirtoh. 

 

The last thing that needs mentioning...kudos to all the CO's and their staff that helped in getting their information in early and allowing me to get the Newsletter out 5 days ahead of time.  Many thanks all.

Mission Summary

Following a refit of the Alliance, the ship was dispatched by General
McDermot a near legendayr Starfleet Marine to the Planet Vaeris; to
help the local government deal with some seperatists. However en-route
the Alliance was to stop and investigate Federation Research Station
Cerberus, a top secret facility who's reasearch is known to only a
select few.

Upon arrival it quickly became clear things were not as they should
be, the Allianc eitself was boarded by soldiers who had been teh
recipients of the stations research, The grafting of borg derived
cybernetic implants to enhance Federation soldiers, these people were
keen to capture Alliance crewmembers McCoy and May both had previously
been assimilated and were wanted for future experimentation.

During the exploration and conflict around the station, which was
itself destroyed they succeeded in capturing Lt.May. Unable to find
him initially the Alliance with new information showing that the
Vaeris separatists were scientists who had participated and were now
against the research.

Before the Away team headed by 1st Lt. Dubois hit the atmosphere
Commander Slaine, along with Ensign's Kuza and Tyr were able to
discern the location of the ship which had abducted Lt. May.
Unfortunately whilst onboard the ship, Commander Slaine was killed
fighting the renegade soldiers who had commanded it.

Now after the successful return to the ship of LT Dubois and his team
of Cole, Hasekawa, Matthews and Samar the Alliance is heading back to
earth to present their finding to the federations council. But they've
been followed, and now the fighters have been scrambled...

*Excalibur

Synopsis:  After successfully rescuing the temporarily abducted crew
members the Excalibur was sent on a surveying mission.  After several
weeks of mapping and surveys then crew began to get restless.  Finding
a suitable Class M world with no native intelligent life Shore Leave
was authorized pending the finding of a scouting Away Team.  Led by
Cmdr Chauncey, the team included Dr. Jantika, Lt Tyyne, Lt. Sterner,
Ens Otori, and Ens Rhys Andrews.

While performing the initial survey, Tyyne recognized a rock formation
as being similar to her homeworld.  As she got closer she realized it
was almost exactly like it save less wear and weathering.  She began
to explore more, purposefully leaving her commbadge on a rock inside
the formation.

Meanwhile a ion storm appears out of nowhere, caused by or pushed
along by a temporal anomaly.  It had already hit the planet and would
soon envelop it.  It was strong enough to kill the away team and had
already eliminated transporters and comms.

Logan had Trinity pilot the Imbri to the surface with equipment to
help them survive the storm.  The XO and the Dr went looking for Tyyne
leaving Sterner in charge of the base camp.  They found her past the
formation and she was adament on discovering if this was her
homeworld.  They accompanied her and eventually sought refuse in some
deep caves where they were isolated from the storm.  But the temporal
energies in the atmosphere also caused the baby in Dr. Jantika,
already affected by the time jaunt to the (now defunct) future
Excalibur, to be born early.  The premature birth places the new baby
in danger.

Will the storm pass in time to save the child?  IS this actually
Sieja's homeworld?  If so where are her people?  What does Adm Mirtoh
have in store for Logan when the Excalibur finally returns to SB25?
The answers to these and other exciting questions over the coming month!
