[USS Chimera] 240905.23, [UNITY] Duty Log, Capt. Trent Rodgers and Cmdr. Rick Rodgers

=Tarangor/Aeran Shipyard=
=Aeran System=
 
"We're still looking at least another week and a half before we complete hull
repairs to the Honor," Lieutenant Proietti said during a brief meeting of senior
officers assigned to the shipyard.
 
"Any other ships scheduled for repairs here?" Rick asked.
 
"No, sir," an ensign spoke up. "The rest of the task force is still using alternate
facilities for the time being. Though that may change at a moment's notice."
 
Rick nodded, "Well, then. We should get fully running again later on this
afternoon. Until then, let focus on Honor. If not anything else, than meeting
adjourned."
 
The five other officers parted ways, leaving Rick alone in the office that was
also subbing as a conference room. As he looked over reports on a data PADD,
he barely noticed another person enter the room.
 
"Commander?"
 
"Commander, is it?" Rick said, not bothering to look up from the PADD. "When
you become so formal, especially around me?"
 
Trent took a couple of steps deeper into the office, looking around the room in
the process.
 
"So, I guess the rumor going around is true?" Rick asked, still focused on the
PADD.
 
"Unless you here for unscheduled social visit."
 
Trent didn't answer. He had a good idea what the rumor was.
 
Rick finally looked up at Trent.
 
"My brother get assigned to same starbase as me. Hell, he named XO. But for
some reason, he not tell me. Why that?"
 
"It was a last minute thing," Trent said.
 
"You were on starship for a couple of days. During that time, you not able to at
least send memo? Why not Sarah at least tell me?"
 
"Because I told Sarah that I had already talked to you about it," Trent said.
 
"Damn it, T! Other people on this starbase knew before I did. People that I not
even know. Why you not tell me?"
 
"Because I didn't want to make such a big deal out of it. I didn't exactly volunteer
for this job."
 
"Even so ..."
 
"I'm not discussing this with you, Ricky? Not now, anyhow. I just stopped by to tell
you that a new shipment for the shipyard has just arrived."
 
"I found about that on my own, too," Rick said.
 
Trent nodded. This was going to be awkward. There was no doubt about that.
 
"Well, I've got to get a few things in order," Trent said before moving to the door.
 
"You could stop by Mai and my quarters tonight. That is, if you can manage to take
the time."
 
"I might. Well see."
 
Rick nodded as Trent quickly walked out of the office. Moments later, the new XO
arrived in his office to find a message waiting for him on his computer from Shane.
 
"What in the ...?" Trent shook his head.
 
Just then, First Lieutenant Bannister, Trent's new aide/security detail entered the
room.

 
"Lieutenant, find out where the commodore is. I would like to speak to him before he
leaves the starbase."
 
Bannister nodded before leaving Trent alone again.
 
"Yeah, this job is going to be lots of fun," Trent muttered to himself before following
the marine out of the office.

[USS Chimera] SD 240905.24 | Quorum Space | Joint Log, Cmdr Summers (1TF Med) & Nicolas Harker

= Padassa Trading Station - Quorum Space (Romulan Annexed) =

The cell door closed behind Rangi as she was shoved inside
by the Romulan guards. She and Martin had been led by Harker
and his cronies to the lower decks of the station. They then
passed through an area that was clearly different from the
rest of the station, outfitted completely with Romulan
technology and looking almost as if it were a different
place.

When they came to what appeared to be a very secure area
with additional guards and personnel, the Romulans had
pulled Rangi and Martin apart.

"You..get in here." Rangis guard said roughly pulling her
towards a door that swung open.
She had little time to argue for the guard stood between her
and the child and pushed her towards the entrance hardly
giving her time to stumble in before the door was closed.

"Mummy!!" Martin cried as she disappeared from sight but
although he made to move forward, the intimidating guard had
turned to him and martin hesitated then stopped.

"Don't worry, Martin," Nicolas had said as the guards pulled
Rangi away, placing a hand on the little boy's shoulder.
"She will be just fine... just fine."

= An hour earlier =

For a moment everything was quiet inside the antechamber
where Rangi and Martin hid, when suddenly a blast knocked
open the secret doorway inside the alcove, revealing the
hidden pair. The silhouette of a figure stepped inside and
it was Nicolas Harker.

"There you are," Nicolas said calmly as he looked at them.
"I was looking for you."

Rangi, with Martin in the shelter of her arms, looked up at
the tall figure from her kneeling position near the now
damaged terminal. She got slowly to her feet looking past
Nicholas for any sign of the robed figures but the doorway
was filled by a Romulan guard.
Transferring her gaze back to Harkers smiling face, her own
expression showed her disquiet.


"I'm afraid you'll have to come with me, Commander. And I'll
have to tighten security measures a little, seeing as you
insist on trying to get away," he said, then motioned to one
of his Romulan guards to place restraints on Rangi.


"There's no need for this!" she exclaimed as a tight band
clasped around her wrists but resistance, as they say, was
futile. Martin stood close by, his eyes large and wary as he
took in the scene.

"There's every need, I'm afraid," Nicolas insisted. "But I
suppose I have to thank you for flushing out the traitors in
our midst. I knew this chapel was here but never before
considered that the Ruh'Bazeans would be capable of
something this covert...

"No doubt you were you trying to contact your people," he
said, looking at the old-fashioned terminal behind Rangi.

"It's dead," one of the Romulans said as he check the
terminal.

"Caught just in the nick of time then," Nicolas smirked. "A
few moments too late and you might have succeeded in
spoiling our time together. Now, let's get going."

"That didn't work...it's useless!" Martin exclaimed and for
good measure, kicked his foot against it then turned and
glared at Harker.

Nicolas looked at Martin taking out his frustration on the terminal
and then looked at Rangi. "Really?"

"There was no chance to send a message." Rangi replied
"...there's no need to worry about that."

"Good," Nicolas said, then motioned to his guards. "Bring them along."

[USS Chimera] || SB 234: UNITY || SD 240905.22, Duty Log, Commo. Shane Guzman

"shane.guzman@mojwap.sk" <shane.guzman@mojwap.sk> wrote to chimera@ucip.org:

====== CO's ready room, Ops area, SB 234:
UNITY ======

The comm. went suddenly alive:

+TAPS+ Werannis here. Shane, you better come here
immediately +

For a slight moment, Shane was puzzled. Only Rangi called
him with his first name and rarely through the comm. system.
It took him another second to realize that the voice
belonged to Terek Werannis, his Chief Science Officer.
Several years ago, the two man become friend while serving
on the Chimera and remained on friendly terms ever after,
calling themselves with first names when not official. Using
Shane's first name in through comm. was surely a sign that
something important happened.

+TAPS+ Be right there + Shane replied. Just half an hour
ago, he and Admiral Jefferson ended with a 'sightseeing'
tour around the UNITY. The Admiral retreated back on board
his ship for some rest and Shane returned back to the Ops
… only to be told by Terek that there is nothing new about
Rangi and Martin.

Arriving next to Terek in half a minute, Shane asked:
"What's new?"

Terek said nothing, but tapped two buttons instead …
playing an audio message:

"We're in Quorum space ..although I don't know the exact
location. Harker is the reason behind it. He has a Chameloid
take Major Varis' place....I have no idea for how long and i
dread to think what he might have accessed...but he's dead
.. killed in a fight and Martin and I are safe. There are
some people here who have helped us and..."

Turning back to Terek, Shane asked: "IS this message
genuine?"

"Well" Terek said, "I ran the voice scan on the
message and it really is Rangi's voice. The message came
from Romulan space, but if its saying the truth … I
don't know"

Shane nodded. {HARKER!} Shane said to himself. {Murderer,
traitor and double agent} went through his head {but I
thought he's dead!} Harker defected to the Romulan Empire
several years ago and now it seemed that the Tal'Shiar
finally got their revenge on him … kidnapping the ones he
loves. The news of a Chameloid in Varis'es place explained
a lot … but now was a new question opened … what
happened with the original Major Varis? For a moment Shane
thought of Bren and the news he will have to tell him when
he's back from his mission …

"What's a Quorum space?" Shane asked finally.

"Quorum space is located within Romulan Empire. Its
annexed territory and since its not one of the core words,
it does not fall under total control of the Romulan
military. The bad news is that the region isn't exactly
small and unless you know where to go, it might be quite a
trip to search it all …"

Shane nodded but nonetheless tapped his badge:

+TAPS+ Guzman to Pakosii +

+TAPS+ Pakosii here, Commodore +

+TAPS+ Lieutenant, I need the Qashqai ready to depart on the
double! In 30 minutes I want to see this station through the
rear window of that ship. Have a squad of security be there
as well as one ODA team. +

The Lieutenant did well do hide his surprise about the
sudden order.

+TAPS+ Understood, Commodore +

Shane looked back at Terek and said: "Please transfer all
data to the Qashqai. Please continue monitoring the area and
inform me immediately about any news."

Terek nodded: "Certainly".

Seeing the tall figure of Chief of fleet level security –
LT. Mumacik, he summoned him to come. "Lieutenant, I am
taking the Qashqai into Romulan space for a rescue mission.
You want to join?"

Much to Shane's surprise, Mumacik shook his head: "No,
Commodore"

"No?" Shane asked.

"No, Commodore" came the all-explaining reply.

"Why not?"

"I am assigned as Chief of fleet level security on board
Starbase 234: UNITY" Mumacik said, "My responsibility is
the task force area as well as the task force staff.
Commander Summers and Major Varis are just two members of
the task force staff, what means that the majority of my
interests are on the UNITY. Logic dictates that I stay here
and continue carrying our my duties."

Shane raised an eyebrow and asked: "What logic Mr.
Mumacik?"

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of a few" was
Mumacik's emotionless reply.

Shane pierced the Lieutenant with his stare for a moment,
but the grinned: "Right. Its great to see that not all of
us are affected by our emotions. You're the right man for
your job, Lieutenant. So stay here and guard my station well
…"

[Bridge - Deck One - USS Chimera NCC 96899-C]
 
The red lights flashed on the bridge, and the bridge crew hurried about in their endeavors to prepare for battle. Rojac sat in the center chair, Commander Ohmsford to his left and an empty XO seat to his right. The Captain acted as a conductor amidst a symphony of chaos, carefully coordinating the flurry of actions into one purposeful, and powerful, response.
 
"Reese, more power to shields and weapons. We need to hit them hard and fast to clear a pathway to the planet." Rojac called.
 
"On it Captain." Jade said starting to multitask the shields were almost done, but she was still working on getting the weapons more power pulling it from anywhere she could. She then also sent a small message to the ODCC to have them monitor the weapons while she monitored the shields.
 
Rojac nodded in response to the Marine Captain's response. Jade was efficient, he knew that first hand. "Bridge to Captain Xerxes."
 
Anya hit the accept button on the communications panel to her front left.  She had insisted on launching her fighters before the pursuit course was carried out and her counterpart from the Prometheus had done the same. "Xerxes here.  How can I help Captain?"

"Captain, we'll need air support once we drop out of warp. The Eagle will be going in for troop drops planet side your task will be to support the EAS Prometheus' fighter wings and to clear the airspace for the Eagle. Is that agreeable?" Rojac said, glancing over to Commander Ohmsford.
 
"It's agreeable Captain although you should know that the Prometheus only carries a single squadron of M-35A's.  After the General Wartime Release they had a squadron of the drone interceptors loaded aboard but those got transferred over to the EAS Hermes to replenish losses after the defense of the Rios System." Anya replied.

"If that's what fate throws at us, it's what we'll have to deal with, Captain. We don't know if Romulan fighter wings and warbirds will be waiting or not, but be prepared. Rojac out."
 
"One minute left till the fire, Captain." Lieutenant Dior called over her shoulder.
 
"Bridge to Jardan. Are your teams assembled?"
 
+Aye sir.+ Jardan replied over the com. +Alpha Team is ready in Transporter Room 1. Beta Team is in Transporter Room 2.+
 
"Stay hot." Rojac said. "Bridge out." He pointed to Zerphimi, who looked to be trying to get his attention. "What is it, Commander?"
 
"I'm getting distorted reading around the planet sir. Almost like some device is trying to block our sensors. Large amounts of antiprotons are being detected in the vicinity."
 
"Let me guess, you get a reading of the planet one minute and the next it's not there?" Bren said as he got up from his chair and moved towards the Science console.

"Yes, sir, how did you...?" Zerphimi started, but Bren interrupted him.

"I've seen this before," the Task Group commander said. "I suspect they're using a device to try and throw off direct scans of the entire planet. It's there on passive scans, but as soon as you take a closer look, it's not there. Problem is it emits massive amounts of antiprotons. I suggest we launch a group of probes emitting regular tachyon bursts. It will at least give us a window to record accurate data on the planet before the probes are destroyed. What do you think, Captain?"
 
"Do we have time?" Rojac asked, looking unsure.
 
"Fifteen seconds to drop, sir." Dior answered from the helm station.
 
"Class II probes are already equipped with tachyon emitters, Captain." Zerphimi, reported. "We can launch them as soon as we drop out of warp."
 
"Lock and load." Rojac said, swiveling his chair to face the viewscreen and the eminent battle awaiting them.
 
"Three... two... one!" Dior counted down the seconds to drop.
 
Waiting for them, with their type three disruptor arrays glowing with vengeance, were three Breen warships.

Mnemosyme watched as her dark figured seemed to park himself in the shadow of some kind of potted tree.  He leaned against the wall and opened up the like mini padd and began to either add something to it or study it intensely.  {I have to get my hands on that while it can't be secured.}
 
Thinking quickly Nym rushed on towards the potted plant and at the last second looked over he shoulder as if something caught her eye.  She slammed into the tree so hard it knocked into a very solid shadow, sending the mini padd skittering across the floor.  "Oh, Sorry about that ... wasn't watching where I was going," Nym replied hastily.  She made a quick retreat to where the padd had come to rest while her mystery man righted the potted tree. 
 
Unfortunately all Mnemosyme got to recognize was that the facial features were definitely male before he was try to obscure them from her view.  It was a poor move on his part because it was also the one thing that allowed her to get to the padd first.  Although she picked it up nonchalantly, Mr. Mysterious was not far behind her.  {Need to get where I can look at this and then decide what to do.}  She rushed on hoping to reach a secure area before Mr. Mysterious caught up to her.
 
Turning a couple of quick corners Nym thought she had been successful in loosing her tail.  She looked down at the padd and began to take interest in the information that presented itself.  Taking a quick look around but no longer feeling it was safe to dally any longer she stuffed the mini padd in a pocket and joined the general flow of traffic.  {Almost home free!} 
 
SMACK!
 
Mnemosyme was surprised by the fist to the side of her jaw.  She stumbled a couple of steps before regaining her balance.  In her couple of stumbling steps she not only realized that she was almost to a safe destination but that Mr. Mysterious had been waiting in the shadows that he preferred.  He step out of them now only to grab her arm and whispering menacingly in her ear, "Hand IT over!"
 
Nym gave him a surprised look like she didn't know what he was talking about and the grasp on her arm became more vice like.  Ignoring the pain, she pulled her arm down a back as hard as she could while placing one of her steps on his foot... none too softly either.  She had taken him by surprise and he lost his grip on second and tackled in the next.
 
"She's having a fit," he hiss as a woman skittered by them and he added, "But I have it under control now."  Mnemosyme worked on getting her feet kicked free and Mr. Mysterious worked on keeping his grip while hoping that the passing woman didn't go and get help. 
 
Nym's hand went to her phaser {its kind of ... public..}  Discarding her last thought, she worked harder at getting her feet free and finally with a burst of energy she kicked one foot free and caught the assailant in the chin.  A gasping sound from behind her; let know that her other foot was free.  As she got to her feet; Mr Mysterious pull a knife and plunged it into her upper leg and another person fell upon the scene.

[USS Chimera] SD: 240905.20 Personal Log LtJg. Kroitzer

=/\= Kroitzer/Hopeler Quarters =/\=

Mimi walked out of the bathroom into the bedroom with a towel wrapped
around her to find Gustav face down on the bed.  She quietly walked
over and sat on the edge of the bed.  Noticing how tense he seemed to
be; she began to massage his muscles.  "Bad day?"

Gustav let out a deep breath as Mimi started to work the tension out
of his muscles "not really bad… just busy and stressful, if it's not
one thing it's another nothings running smoothly in this nebula" he
said venting some steam.

"Any way enough of my troubles, how's your day been" he asked as he
turned his head around to look into Mimi's beautiful green eyes.

"It was busy... who would have thought the number of things that
people have to complain about when you enter a nebula and the chief
counsellor is away."  She gave him a wink as she moved to straddle him
to work the muscles of his back better.  "Would you like me to see if
I could find a glass of wine for you... I think there is some of that
one special bottle left?"

Feeling more and more relaxed by Mimi's skilled fingers Gustav said
"I'd rather you keep going than have wine but thanks anyway".

"Ok."  She tightened her towel back in place and then continued what
she was doing.  Her hands slid up his back and then she moved in a
circular pattern down to his hips.  She did this over and over;
finding a nice relax rhythm until she accidental brushed her fingers
over the place where his artificial arm was attached.

Gustav felt a short sharp electrical shock from his artificial arm
then felt light on his right side.

Thump!

He just looked down at the floor to see his arm laying there on the
floor "Don't worry about it… just leave it there for the moment"
Gustav said with a slight chuckle in his voice.

Mimi's hand flew up to her mouth cutting off her surprise.  She was
glad Gustav couldn't see the colour the crept up her neck and stained
her cheeks.  "Oops!,"  she tried and went back to the massage she was
giving; trying to find the rhythm that she had established only
moments ago.

Gustav started to relax again almost to the point of starting to drift
off to sleep until he felt
Mimi start to tickle him.

"This is starting to become a habit," she referred to his falling
asleep.  "Maybe I should just get dressed and leave you alone," she
suggested upon a second look at his exhausted face.

Sitting up Gustav reached down and picked up his arm and reattached it
"You don't need to leave, I'm just very tired, how about we go and get
something to eat at the mess hall" he asked.

"Well... maybe you should..." She hesitated and then replied, "Sure."

"Great I'll just get cleaned up and changed then we'll head".

Standing in her towel close by where he was she commented, "I suppose
I should pull something on as well.."  Her thoughts raced off to what
she should ware when a firm tug left her skin to cool as the towel
feel to the floor.

Gustav gave a slight laugh as he removed Mimi's towel on his way past
heading to the bathroom, locking the door behind him before she could
react.

{He'll pay for that later.. locking the door ... really.... He must be
very hungry and tired.}

Stepping out of the bathroom Gustav felt much more awake and
refreshed, heading to the wardrobe yelled through to the lounge "what
do you fancy for tea dear?" he was also wondering what Mimi was
wearing.

With idea of payback on her mind Mimi chose her outfit carefully to
get the maximum desired effect.  She decided on a black leather mini
skirt and an emerald green halter-top that showed off the new belly
ring she had gotten on their last day of R&R while Gustav was busy.
The halter was almost heart shaped at the top and then end in a very
ordinary hem at her midriff.  She put on the thigh high leather
stiletto boots that Athena had suggested completed the outfit when
they had discussed during some meeting or other.  She walked back into
the bedroom so she wouldn't have to yell and said, "I feel like
something spicy...  What about you?"  Her belly ringed seemed to wink
as the light caught the dark green stone.

Gustav had of course seen the belly ring before but never displayed
like this, in fact he had never seen Mimi dress like this before…. He
liked.

"How about on Indian then" he suggested as he pulled out some retro
Levis and a crushed white shirt short sleeved from the wardrobe "then
how about we go to the holodeck and visit an old 21st century night
club".

"Sounds like fun...But.... never mind.... that's fine."   She turned
to walk back out and wait for Gustav thinking {Maybe I didn't pick the
best outfit...} She looked down and smoothed the front of the top.  {I
don't think he likes it.}

Gustav finished getting ready, he styled his hair so it looked like
something that would have been fashionable in the 21st century, he
then stepped through to the other room where Mimi was waiting for him,
before heading out Gustav kissed her on the cheek and whispered in her
ear "I like the new look".

She hugged him tightly and ran her fingers through his new hairstyle.
"Thanks I was a little worried since I had some outside advice."

"You shouldn't be worried, you look good in nearly everything… well
apart from a Darth Vader costume" he said jokingly also realising he
was showing his more geeky side.

"Are you sure?  ... I look good in basic black," she responded giving his cheek a quick kiss as they walked out the door.

[USS Chimera] SD240905.18 Duty Log - MCapt COps Jade Reese

=/\= Bridge, USS Chimera C =/\=

Jade started running diagnostics and ordering the damage repair teams to areas that needed repairs she was hoping that they would've had a little bit of time to get repairs started on the sensors, but the Breen were ready for them. +taps+ Rufo to Jade. +taps+ The AOps officer said over the COMM.

+taps+ Yes Rufo. +taps+ Jade replied reading through the damage control team reports luckily they only sustained minor damage and most of it was from the damn storm and the nebula.

+taps+ Sensors should be returning to normal operating status, but we're still having issues with the shields and hull polarization we need at least two and half hours to correct the problem. +taps+ Rufo said sending the report to her, so she could read it.

After receiving the report Jade read over it and shook her head the nebula and storm did much more damage then she would've liked, +taps+ Alright let's have engineering deal with the hull polarization while we work on the shields. +taps+ Jade said getting the last few diagnostic readouts she sent copies down to the ODCC for them to look over and make any corrections while Jade worked on getting the shields to normal and anything else that needed to looked at.

+taps+ Copy that Captain. +taps+ Rufo said sending a message to engineering with the request as he was doing that he closed the COMM link, so he could also get into contact with the other AOps personnel.

Jade put the diagnostic reports to the side and started compiling the damage reports for Captain Rojac to look over and also what they've started on repairing, but she was finally glad that the sensors were finally fully operational and also that they were out of the nebula. With the compiling done she walked away from her station and one of the AOps step into her place to fill in while she spoke to the CO.

[USS Chimera] SD 240905.18 || Task Group Beta Log || "Introduction to Canna" ||

[Canna System]

The EAS Prometheus powered its way through space with its shields raised and interceptor guns running hot.  As was standard in an uncontrolled system there was also a flight of M-35A's flying a Combat Air Patrol around the ship.  Whilst Erassian capital ships such as the Prometheus tended to utilise stealth tactics lying in wait to ambush the enemy this 'active patrol' could prove just as effective as when the 'active' ship left any enemy hiding in the system tended to return to their activities allowing a second stealthed ship to get a fix on the enemys position.  In this case that role was filled by the four cloaked Starfleet ships.

As the Magellan and the other Federarion ships followed behind, Captain Mayo say comfortably in his chair. As he looked at his viewscreen, the only captial ship seen was the Prometheus.
 
"Keep an eye on those sensors, Ms. J'klock," Mayo said to his chief tactical officer. "I don't want any surprises."
 
"Aye, sir," the tac officer replied.
 
"Where are you bastards hiding?" Mayo muttered as he leaned forward, rubbing his chin.
 
As if to give the captain an answer...
 
"Sir, unknown vessels decloaking off our port side," J'klock spoke out. "They're Breen."
 
Mayo watched as the Breen ships attacked the Erassian vessel.

Hendricks said "Interceptors" and the Arclight capable interceptor guns burned a line through the advancing Breen Torpedoes.  "Raise power levels to Military, arm main guns and return fire."  The two large Arclight Plasma Cannons rose from the top hull of the Prometheus whilst a further two lowered from the bottom hull.  The cannons locked on the Breen ship opened fire with immense streams of plasma biting deep into the Breen ship's shields.

"Lets give our Erassian friends a hand, shall we?" Mayo said, sitting back in his chair. "Decloak and open fire on the nearest Breen ship."
 
J'klock gave no response, instead followling Mayo's orders.
 

On the small bridge of the Rapier, the same events unfolded as Commander Telson called for the ship's cloak to be dropped. 

"Pazla, take us above the Prometheus," he ordered his XO who sat at the helm console. "Tactical, target their disruptors and fire quantum torpedoes." 

The Saber-class ship swept up into position above the Prometheus and fired a volley of quantum torpedoes at the mammoth Breen warship. As soon as the torps were fired, Lt Dacour moved the Rapier out of the way, but smaller Breen ship targeted the ship and fired a bright green beam towards the Starfleet vessel that slammed into its shields.

"What the... our shields are dropping!" Tactical called out. "Incoming fire!"

[Bridge - Deck One - USS Chimera NCC 96899-C]

Captain Cropa Rojac watched in horror on the viewscreen as the breen warship's type three disruptors tore into the Rapier's hull. His heart wrenched, he knew officers aboard that vessel; and at least one he still cared for greatly.

"Dior, 85 degrees to port." Rojac ordered from the chair. He swiveled toward the operations console, "Reese, program the tactical deflector for the shield boosts program."

"Aye." Reese replied.

"Captain!" Ra-Zerphimi hollered from the science station. "The Rapiers shields are down to 5%!"

"The Breen have locked torpedoes on her, Captain!" Tactical reported.

"Prepare phasers, point-defense!" Rojac ordered to tactical, "Dior, get us there now. Reese!"

"I'm working on it, sir." The Marine Captain replied.

"Torpedoes away!"

Rojac watched the viewscreen as three green star-bursts exited the fore torpedo tubes of the breen warship, the Chimera's pulse phaser cannons launched a full barrage as the harbingers. Two of the torpedoes met early demises as the cannons found their marks, creating silent detonations in the vacuum of space, but one found it's mark.

The torpedo broke easily through the Rapier's weakened shields and struck the ventral aft section of the ship, causing a hull breach and completely shutting off main power. The small Starfleet vessel began to spin helplessly in space and one of her nacelles started leaking plasma, creating a whirling spiral of blue light as the ship spun around.
 
On the Magellan...

"Captain, two of the enemy torpedoes were intercepted, but one managed to get through. The Rapier is heavly damaged," the Mag tac officer said.
 
"Focus everything we have on that warship!" Mayo ordered.
 
A spread of torpedoes shot out from the Sovereign-class ship, followed by a volley of phaser fire, hitting the Breen vessel in several locations.
 
"Fire again! Lets finish them off," Mayo ordered.
 
Just as the Magellen's weapons let off another salvo, the Breen warship disappeared.
 
"Sir. Breen warship has gone to warp. Should we pursue?"
 
"Lay in a pursuit course, but hold for now. In the shape they're in, they won't get far," Mayo said.

On the Chimera's bridge, Commander Ohmsford kept a close eye on the tactical readouts that were flooding across the panel of his station. "Ohmsford to Magellan and Eagle, hold pursuit. I repeat, hold pursuit," he ordered to the two ships' comms officers.

"Zerphimi, give me a full scan on the Rapier." Rojac ordered. 

"It's not good, sir." Ra-Zerphimi reported, the joviality gone from his voice. "Shields are out, life-support is at fifty-four percent. She has severe damage to several decks and main power is currently offline. I'm picking up plasma leakage into space. She's dead in the water, Captain."

"Can we hail them?" Rojac asked aloud.

"I've been trying, sir." Montesque responded from the communications console. "Their communications must be down. There not responding, and I'm not even receiving their transponder."

Rojac turned to Natalia, "Commander, form a team and beam over. Take Dr. Rice and Mr. Kroitzer with you, along with anyone else you will need."

"Aye, sir," Natalia nodded as she got up and made her way to the Turbolift. She tapped her commbadge, "Trzetrzelewska to Dr Rice and Lt Kroitzer; meet me in Transporter Room 1 for emergency transport to the Rapier asap."

Rojac walked back to his chair, looking to Commander Ohmsford in the mission advisor's chair. "What's our next move, Commander? Shall we pursue the warship?" He asked.

Bren looked towards the science console where the Efrosian science chief was studying the readings, and for a moment it reminded of his days as Chief of Science on the USS Archer. "Commander Zerphimi, can you track the warship?"


"I've traced their trajectory toward the third planet." Ra-Zerphimi reported, "though they cloaked just after engaging warp drive."

"We can follow them," Bren said quickly to Rojac. "Scan for tachyon isotope emissions at high resolution on their trajectory, but focus on the low subspace ranges. We should be able to get a faint warp trail that's just enough to confirm their plotted course."

"Get on it, Mr. Zerphimi." Rojac called over to the science station.

"Aye sir!"

Colonel Hendricks looked to his Comms Officer "Message the Starfleet ships asking what they want their next move to be.  Inform them that we are willing to call in a repair ship with an escort to attend to the USS Rapier but urge them that the longer that we delay here the more time the Breen have to prep their defenses."  The Comms Officer nodded and sent the message.

"Commander, the Prometheus says they are willing to call in a repair ship to assist the Rapier, but Colonel Hendricks is urging us to hurry," the Chimera's comms officer reported.

"Tell Colonel Hendricks his offer is appreciated," Bren said to the comms officer, then turned to Rojac. "I'll order the Magellan to stay behind until the ship arrives; she's too much a target if left behind without support. The Eagle will accompany us and the Prometheus to the third planet; if there's any trouble we can call the Magellan in."

Rojac nodded. "Mr. Zerphimi, do you have the course?"

"Aye sir." The efrosian commander replied. "Transmitting to helm now."

"Got it." Dior replied. "Just behind the third planet's second moon."

A bridge officer at the rear of the bridge called out to the Captain, "Captain, Commander Trzelewska's away team has safely beamed aboard the Rapier."

"Montesque, tell the Commander that the Magellan will be staying behind. Contact Captain Mayo if she needs help." Rojac ordered. "Lt. Dior, signal the Prometheus and Eagle. Best speed to target."

"Aye sir!"

= Chimera Summary =

After a tiring day in Sickbay, LtJG Quicho returns to her quarters for some rest. She tries to contact her cousin, MaiKai, but communications are still down and nothing can go through.

In his Captain's Log, Captain Rojac reflects on current phase of the mission. The Chimera has reentered the Grand Banks along with its companions and are heading towards the Canna System. All ship departments are standing by to counteract any effects the dangerous nebula might have on the ship.

In her quarters, Athena drifts off to sleep but finds herself in a disturbing dream where a disturbing voice calls out to her and Viktor. In Sickbay, Dr Rice examines Lt Iresia who thought s/he might be suffering from effects of the nebula, but the reason for hir symptoms turn out be something else entirely. (By Bren)

Chimerans!

Slow week, but partly my fault - I will not lie. I've started a new internship this week which had me late on last week's report and consequentially got me a late start to logging. 

We're quickly pushing through phase II of the plot and are rapidly approaching the conclusion. If you have questions about what to log, or you need to run an idea by someone - quickly send a note to Chimera-command@ucip.org , we'll be more than happy to assist.

Congratulations to Muma and Rangi this week, for earning the organization positions of Genre Lead and Vice President, respectively. I wish you two luck, and much patience in your dealings with the organization-wide community - I'm sure you'll need both. It is comforting to know, however, that now there are respectable poeple in the top levels of the organization. Congratulations.


On report this week:
LtJG Tom Jardan
Cadet Jonas Archer
You two need to either log this week, or inform the command team as to the reasons of your absence. To neglect to do so increases the possibility of one being dropped from the simulation.

Greetings everyone,

Firstly I'd like to say congratulations to Rangi on her appointment as the new Vice President of UCIP. I'm confident that she and Frankie (the President) will work very well together in order to make UCIP a better place for all of us. 

Secondly, congratulations to Muma, who's been confirmed as the Trek Genre Lead for ISD.

Congratulations to all of us (the Chimera crew) as well for our Timmis Award that we earned for our 300th week as a sim!

Have a good week!

about the rumours that said his brother was to be the new
XO.
Nym, intrigued by a shadowy figure, followed him on the
promenade.

On the Padassa Trading Station, Rangi was given access to a
terminal and sent a message to Unity explaining all she knew
about the situation and her unknown rescuers but shortly
after the link  ended, there was a disturbance outside.

Meanwhile Shane was considering the lead Terek had
discovered, the news from the shipyard , working with Ivanov
and the Thalaron investigation.realizing that Admiral
Jefferson was about to arrive in company with the new XO,
Shane and Mumacik went to greet them.

Chisulo sent a report to Shane stating that the Beta Task

V'Tar. He outlined the main points of his mission and made
some suggestions which good be discussed fully on his
return.

* SUBJECT LINES/LOGGING GUIDELINES/WEBSITE NEWS/IRC INFO *
==============================================
-------------------------
- Subject Lines
-------------------------
Please remember to use the following format for your subject lines:
SD 24YYMM.DD, Duty/Personal Log, Rank Name
e.g., SD 240502.01, CO's Log, Capt Rojac
e.g., SD 240502.01, Personal Log, Cropa Rojac
The [USS Chimera] part of the subject is placed automatically by the listserv, so you don't need to include it.
Also remember to include your details at the end of your log
e.g.,
Captain Cropa Rojac
Commanding Officer
USS Chimera NX 96899-B
-------------------------
- Logging Guidelines
-------------------------
Logging:
The weekly logging deadline is at Midnight (12:00AM/00:00) GMT/UTC (19:00 EST); all logs received after the deadline will be counted for the following week. If you are pressed for time and would like a log to count for the previous week, but it is sent after the deadline, please send an email to the command team when you send the log so that we can make the corrections.
Please remember that all MAJOR plot changes need to be cleared with the command staff before a log goes through! You can do this by sending the command staff (chimera-command@ucip.org ) a log labeled with "Draft" tagged to the subject line. We'll typically let you know if it's approved within 24 to 48 hours, or tell you what might need to be modified before it's sent to the listserv.
When using other characters in your logs, please keep in mind that person's characteristics. Character information can be found on the UCIP website or the USS Chimera website (under CREW - just click on the Star Trek symbol next to the character's name). If you're still unsure how to interact with a character, then privately mail the person
involved, and I'm sure they'll be willing to help.
Conversely, if you feel that your character is being portrayed incorrectly by someone please contact them to try to work out an agreeable solution. Just keep in mind when logging to treat other characters the way you'd like them to treat you - with the respect due to any member of Starfleet who is a specialist in their field.
If you think your log may be going out of bounds, then please ask! If you are having problems finding things to write about or would just like some help with your log, please contact your department head or the command team. Remember, you don't always have to log about things relating to the main plot - logs that develop your character's
personality are encouraged! We're eager to help if you're having trouble; just email the command team (chimera-command@ucip.org).
