The Draedan system sun unexpectedly went Super Nova today.  Sadly, nearly one-hundred thousand individuals lost their lives, including FNN’s very own Natalia Morrison, when Draeda V was destroyed. As Draeda V was the home of the just opened joint Federation, Klingon, and Romulan colony, the state of intergalactic affairs and the recent cessation of hostilities is now in jeopardy.

A handful of civilian ships escaped the devastation. In addition, a number of coalition ships led by the USS Gemini did what they could to evacuate some from the planet. All in all, approximately one thousand lives were saved. We now go to a live feed with the CO of the Gemini, Captain Sam Hansen.”

*awkward pause*

“What do you mean we don’t have the live feed?”

*pause*

“You are an incompetent boob. You had one job, get me Captain Hansen for an interview. I swear, this place is going to hell.”

*walks off set*

FNN- Please Stand By, we are experiencing technical difficulties.

We managed to get to Draeda V in one piece with no more mysteries. On the good side, we brought on our new Second Officer, Lieutenant Commander Bennett and it seems like she will be a good fit. I feel bad as I asked her to take on the Chief Science Officer role until Commander Jaeih’s replacement arrives.

On the not so good side, by chance most of the senior crew ended up at a bar on the planet. It was a decent bar by the looks. Some of us didn’t get to stay long as some Klingon’s got a bit aggressive with some of the ladies of the ship. My diplomacy could have been much better and I could have been a better example of a captain, except for the fact that I punched one of the Klingons.

After myself, Commander Kroqus, and Lieutenant Broderick were released from the local security offices I went to see Admiral McCormick. After I got a new ass chewed, I did run into an old flame of mine. The night got better.

Normally Ron would do this, but he was on a mission so the task had fallen back to her.

“It’s been almost six months since the station got activated here and I think we’ve almost completed settling in. We’re still looking for some people in key positions, but overall, all department have everything they need to run.

This week has been a bit slower due to a simple virus that somehow got through the filters and caused many crew to be sick and unable to work. Engineering says the filters have been fixed and medical reports most crew will be ready to work in a few days.

Most actions on the station are just normal activity of what you’d expect on a frontier station. The research department is working hard on finding a way to reverse the planets soil problem. Other then that the XO is on a away mission with a small team. The Sedna is on a diplomatic mission, they’re due back in a couple of days. The Canterbury is about to set of on its first big mission since joining Langley. They have a 3-month survey mission planned of the space surrounding the station.

That’s it for this month.” Next month’s update would hopefully be done by Ron, Kate thought. She hated jobs like this.

Commander West has taken an away team over to the USS Cressy, an old Excelsior class ship to salvage needed parts.  There’s an eeriness around here that needs no explanation but still has the crew on edge.  I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t affecting me as well.  So far the mission is going as planned but I expect some setbacks.  Working on pieces of starships in a graveyard where thousands of Starfleet officers lost their lives has to come at some kind of price. I hope it is one that the crew can pay.

So, Starfleet have assigned my team to a small civilian controlled station by the Typhon Expanse. It’s location seems key for my team having access to the northern powers of the Alpha and Beta quadrants.

My team is arriving slowly. I’m impressed with the talent that has been sent my way, however, the lack of military within the team leaves me worried. I’m sure it’s just early gitters, once we get working together I’m sure the team will begin to gel.

Our first mission will be a good test. We’re being sent into Romulan space to retrieve a Senator who has been feeding Intelligence information for a number of years. Seems simple enough but the location will be testing. A Tal Shiar resort for high ranking Romulan officials and military personnel.

We have a plan and a fall back. Hopefully the mission will be a success.

On a side note, I’m not sure why Starfleet have sent me a child as a pilot. We shall see if has what it takes…

We’ve arrived at the Draeda V colony in one piece, more or less. We did have a very, startling discovery though.

We had an unexpected rendezvous with Admiral Reskin of Starfleet Security and Romulan Commander S’Til. It seems, Lieutenant Commander Jaeih, was a member of an ultra-conservative Tal’Shiar group opposed to the new Romulan Government. She was involved in the bombing of the Romulan Treaty Ceremony 6 months ago. She also had been the individual who set the DNA bomb up for me. Then she further turned out to be some sort of bug like creature.

Doctor Fula worked with a Romulan doctor and scientist to perform an autopsy on the creature. Although there is more to be investigated, there is evidence to indicate that there is some Xindi DNA in the creature. It’s not much to go on, but a start.

For what was supposed to be a cake walk, this mission has given me a few more grey hairs.

OOC: A Message on Current Events https://16thfleet.com/2020/03/15/ooc-a-message-on-current-events/ https://16thfleet.com/2020/03/15/ooc-a-message-on-current-events/#respond Sun, 15 Mar 2020 21:53:44 +0000 http://16thfleet.com/?p=438 Good Evening,

The last few weeks on our world have truly been interesting times for all of us. We’ve seen examples of the best of humanity, we’ve also seen examples of the worst. We all have a common goal of ensuring that both our families and ourselves remain healthy and safe during these turbulent times.

Family is a source of comfort for all of us, especially during trying times. As we all work to protect our families, I want to reassure that our online families are just as important. Zodiac Fleet is more than just a collection of friends, we are a family too. As more and more of us enter into this undiscovered country, remember that your online community is here for you.

Let’s all take steps to help secure our online family. As more and more of us enter into a period of quarantine let’s do our best to keep our online community thriving with discussion and gaming to help keep ourselves thinking of happier times. Social isolation is a real concern for all of us. Please keep your online friends in your thoughts during these trying times.

For the time being I am placing a hold on our logo contest, but we will move forward with the mentor voting later this week. I appreciate all of you who took time to nominate your peers, and I appreciate all who were nominated. I also appreciate everyone who participated in developing logos for the contest. Rest assured this will be revisited.

Thank you all for being part of our family. Let’s all work together as we pursue happier times.

William

Captain’s Log, Stardate 47634.44, Captain Sam Hansen Reporting

We have rendezvoused with the USS Renfield and transported Ambassador Jin aboard. We will be transporting her and her team to Draeda V for the opening of the joint Federation, Klingon, and Romulan colony. Some are saying it will be Nimbus all over again. Hopefully they are wrong.

I seem to be moving up in the universe. Someone attempted to assassinate me. Why, I don’t know. We found a bomb with a genetic trigger, set to my DNA. Luckily the bomb didn’t go off. Commander Kroqus has assigned security guards to me. Although the guards try to be unobtrusive, it is a touch annoying. Lieutenants Scion and Qurick believe there is Tal Shiar technology behind it, they can’t be 100% certain.

Here’s to getting to Draeda V without any more incidents.

Captain’s Log, supplemental:

The Orion was scheduled to rendezvous with the USS Flying Spirit in order to transfer over new officers but we’ve received a garbled distress call from them. Someone or something has taken the Flying Spirit off course and possibly caused it to crash on a nearby planet. We have begun a search operation and have tracked down a weak ion trail most likely from the missing ship. Hopefully, we will be able to find some answers before it’s too late.

USS Orion

Capt. Logan Barrett
