Chimerans!

Plot is crawling, but logs are flowing.

We're hitting the rapids this week, RL permitting. Again, I apologize if I step on any toes - but it needs to be done. See you in space.

Slow week with little in the way of plot development past the bare
minimum although much of the blame with that lies with myself and my
poor internet connection which has left me unable to get online 5 out
of 7 days this week.  I'm still having connection problems so I can
only apologize if I'm causing delays (hence the sim report) and I do
feel bad about it.  As always there is some real quality logs been put
in which deserve credit.  To motivate an acceleration in the plot I'm
setting the target of completing Charlie Groups part of the mission
within the next two weeks...ok Chimerans lets give it all we've got!

- Summaries (Rangi)
------------------------- 

Alpha - Bren

On Norris VII-A, Captain Spiers receives orders that the rest of Easy Company are to leave Norris VII-A and that First Platoon had achieved their objective in securing the communications station.

Beta - Rojac

The young Captain was teasing about the surrender thing, and instead staged a successful Picard Maneuver that left the Falcore as charred floating debris before jetting off into the stellar nursery once more - but not before the port impulse engine caught on fire. Major Cortez and the rest of the demolition team snuck through the peculiar station toward their target, but not without the experieced leader felling a little doubt in his upset tummy. The Eagle watched the Chimera's progress from stealthed safety - at least until they were caught on visual scanners and necrotized by a thalaron beam. Lieutenants Vaughn and Jones ran a flawwless operations department during a full fledged ship-wide crisi situation. The Rapier finally caught up with that Klinogn patrol, but not before finding a suspicious group of Romulan thalaron cruisers.

Charlie - Ixus

Nothing happened! ::Rap on the knuckles for Ixus::

Delta - Rik

Nothing.

Unity - Rangi

Shane reviewed the details of the investigation into the terrorists attack and had good news at last.Captain Trent was convinced a company based on Unity was a cover and had contacted the JAG department.

Rangi was making celebration preparations for Shane and herself when the housekeeper entered the quarters obviously surprised to see anyone at home. Seconds later a man materialised and pressed a knife to the womans throat.

George Pucker was present when Shane arrived in sickbay to check on Lieutenant Mumacik. Although he was recovering, he had an extremely short term memory loss.

Rick had better news when he checked progress for on the whole, things were going well.

- 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).

[USS Chimera] SD: 240909.8 ||Bravo|| Joint Duty Log || Major Cortez + Cadet Elbrums

Herman <herman.oliver@gmail.com> wrote to chimera@ucip.org:

=/-\= Romulan Station - Just outside the energy core =/-\=

Cortez took the right side of the entrance, while Rivers took the
left. The rest of the men lined up behind them and readied their
weapons for the breach. It had been relatively easy to get this far
and hopefully any Romulans behind this door would be caught off guard
and unarmed.

Andrus was finally starting to control the relentless drumming of his
heart. He was getting accustomed to the situation and found that
accepting his fate, his current position was really helping him in
relaxing. So far they had been lucky, lucky until either side would
shoot or an overeager romulan officer perform a lignsign sensor sweep
and realize they have visitors not fulfilling the romulan genetic
markers. He stopped thinking and focused on the door ahead of them.

Pushing the button Richard switched the door open and he and Rivers
swiftly moved inside. It was a large area with what looked like two
main exits/entrances. The Energy core was in the center of the bay
and several Romulans were scattered throughout. Luckily, it was only
one level except for a set of stairs leading up to a scaffolding
surrounding the core.

Cortez was spotted almost instantly by the Rommie that was closest to
the door, he began to scream alerting the rest of the room. The Major
was on him fast though and slammed the butt of his rifle directly into
the bridge of his nose instantly breaking it and sending him to the
ground knocked out cold. Moving to the next threat Cortez pointed
the muzzle of his rifle at the next closest Romulan. "GET DOWN ON THE
GROUND", his scream directed at all the Rommies in the room.

Seeing his comrade go down, one Romulan complied with Cortez' order
and dove to the ground, except instead of giving up he scurried behind
a console and attempted to sound an alarm.

As soon as his head popped back up for him to see what he was facing.
Andrus instinctively reached for his knife and flicked it at the
rommie. The inertia loaded weapon flew head-over-end making the
distance in a fraction of a second. The last thing the romulan thought
of was reaching for his comm unit, which never happened as he instead
grab futilely at the handle sticking out of his throat. In a matter of
seconds he choked on his blood as his lungs filled with the green
color liquid.

Honestly, Andrus was shocked. He had killed for the first time in his
life. He was frozen in place, arm still intended finger poised in
releasing the deadly knife, eyes unblinking, staring at death taking
the romulan away. Nothing matter for the moment, not in fellow
officers or the possible other Romulans in the room. He was now a
combatant. What scared him the most is that killing had come to him by
instinct.

Rivers and Jones quietly took down three more Romulans while Barnes
attempted to stop the last one from fleeing through the exit on the
opposite side of the room. Unfortunately he wasn't fast enough and
the last Rommie managed to escape before Barnes could stop him.

"Dammit", Barnes said aiming down the hallway towards the running
Romulan, but decided against firing as it would only sound the alarm
sooner. "One got away", Barnes warned turning back towards the rest
of the team.

Cortez was already unloading the explosives. "Jam the doors", he
yelled towards Elbrum who's face seemed to be very pale now. "You
know what to do", he said tossing a couple charges to Rivers and
Jones.

Andrus snapped out of it at the sound of the major. He moved to the
door and shut it. Once the metal frame came close before him, he fired
a few shots in the control panel. No use being stealthy at this point.
He then ran for the other door, it was still wide open. He leaned out
of it, to peek outside. It was clear for now, but alarms where
ringing. He closed it and gave it the same treatment as the first
door.

"Lets hurry it up", Richard yelled, "we'll have company soon".

It didn't take long for the two men to plant the explosives and
seconds later they both confirmed they were done.

"Ready to Go", Rivers said running back down the scaffolding that he
had climbed up to place an explosive.

"Same Here", Jones added.

"Doors are jammed sir." Andrus replied as he made his way to the
Major. No doubt at this point they where getting out by one mean
alone.

"Ok, then", Cortez said pulling out his communicator.

"Bravo Team to Eagle", he said with a grin. This wasn't too bad.

No Answer.

"Bravo Team to Eagle", he said again.

No Answer.

Jones began to get anxious. "Whats going on".

Cortez ignored him and tried one more time.

"Eagle, this is Bravo Team, do you copy".

Nothing but static.

Tossing the device to Elbrum, "Fix It".

Just then a loud bang went off blowing both doors leading into the
engineering bay open, followed by a hail of phaser fire.

Barnes was hit automatically and Richard watched as his arm dissolved
into nothing and he fell to the ground screaming. "TAKE COVER", he
yelled, instincts taking over. Ducking behind a computer console he
pulled Barnes with him and began to return fire towards the East
entrance. Jones and Rivers followed and after taking cover began
firing towards the West entrance.

Andrus ducked behind a console and crawled towards Richard. He aimed
down the corridor and fired, but he had no targets the hallway and
access point to their section was still filled with smoke. Two shots
barely missed him as he ducked behind his cover. Then he saw the major
was raining a hail of phaser fire on the romulans, he looked down at
the communicator he had caught a moment ago. With his tricorder he ran
a diagnostic of the thing. It worked perfectly, at least the way it
was meant to work.

He leaned to the major to yell at him his findings but was thrown back
as another volley missed him by too short a distance. "Major, nothing
wrong with your communicator." He yelled anyway, as he aimed his
tricorder and tapped for a visual image of what lay ahead with thermal
imaging to see through the smoke. The humanoid shapes popped up like a
single beacon in total darkness. "Two on the right side, behind cover.
Three on the other side, also behind cover, at corridor intersection."
He reported his findings.

They where in a stand of for now. Andrus did his best to aim and
shoot, seeing where his shots landed with the heat of his phaser shot
on the bulkhead.

"Damn", Richard said, shifting to the side to look at Elbrums and
reloading his rifle at the same time, "see if you can contact the
Chimera", he added knowing the chances of that happeneing were slim,
at best. There was no time to wonder why the Eagle didn't respond,
only that they hadn't and now they might be left stranded. Reaching
down he flipped off the stealth generator that had hidden him and his
team from the Romulans sensors so well, he then reached into the bag
by his side and pulled out the remote detonator for the explosives and
armed them. Holding it in his left hand he peeked back up from his
cover and fired back at the Romulans who would soon no doubt overrun
their position. "This is it Men, hold your ground", he yelled while
sending a volley of deadly energy towards the enemy. Cortez' aim had
never been more precise than at this moment and he took down four more
Romulans before he finally got hit himself, the blast sending him
flying to the ground. His armor took the brunt of it, but underneath
was left a scorching and severely burned chest.

Rivers turned just as the Major fell and moved to cover his position.

Richard opened his eyes after a few seconds, it took a few more to
regain his bearings. It was then that he realized that he was laying
on the ground, to his left Elbrums was ducking screaming into a
communicator while Rivers was firing madly at the nearby Romulans. To
his right, Jones was single handedly covering the opposite entrance
while Barnes lay lifeless next to him. Straining, Richard pushed
himself up, but fell back down under the sting of the intense pain
shooting through his body. Blinking he grinned, he knew exactly what
his duty was, his entire starfleet career culminating up to this very
moment in time. Everything he'd gone through, all the training all
the blood sweat and tears, everything had prepared him for this very
moment. Pulling his hand up in front of him he opened it to reveal
the detonator still locked in his grip. Flipping open the plastic
casing over the button he counted from three.

Three.....Two.....

[USS Chimera] SD240909.28 | Joint Log | MGen R. Sharpe (and staff) & 1LT T'Shal [NPC by DK]

=/\= Starbase Padassa =/\=

 

Strayer looked around at the makeshift briefing room that had been created by Starfleet Engineers. It reminded him of a classroom from Starfleet Academy, rather than a mission briefing room. It was a long, rectangular room, with no features on the walls' whatsoever. At the far end of the room was a small table which was the holo-projector, and a big black screen on the far wall for other projections.

Arranged facing the front were a series of chair-desk type things which had lifting tables, which were strangely reminiscent of university chairs from the 21st century. Having loaded the mission profile into the holo-buffers, he waited for the company CO's of 2nd Battalion to arrive.

The group of officers filed silently into the room, sitting next to each other in the fore-most seats. T'Shal was attending this mission breifing as the temporary commander of Easy Company, which was still working to recooperate from their recent mission. And even the Vulcan, who normally looked pristine in her uniform, looked a little ragged.

Strayer snapped "Ten-hut!" loudly, as General Sharpe, Sergeant Major Harper, Colonel Westman – the 1st Regiment CO, ad Brigadier Stirling – the MEF XO, entered the room. They walked to the front of the room, and as Richard made his way to stand in front of the arrivals, they fell back along the side wall. 

 

"As you were, people." He said.

The group of Lieutenants exchanged silent glances as they lowered themselves back down into their seats. Korgath of Fox Company sat to the far left (facing the front), with T'Shal next to him and zh'Thania of Gamma Company on the far end braketing in S'Valak of Helo Company.

 

"Alright, lets keep this simple and to the point." Richard said, clasping his hands behind his back. "In less than 24 hours, 2nd Battalion will launch one of the biggest all out assaults against a Romulan key world that has happened so far in this war. Our objectives are very simple; we are to secure the main colony, the outlying military base, as well as the orbital control facility on the ground, which controls all orbital weapons platforms."

 

While Korgath grunted in what sounded like a pleased fashion, T'Shal fought to keep her trepidation under control. If the General was sending Easy back into the fight so soon after the Norris Assault, then it was only logical that the Company had met the requirements and was viable. Otherwise they wouldn't be back into combat so quickly.

 

Taking a subtley quiet breath, she did her best to ignore the other company commanders, two of which the Lieutenant was aware had looked in her direction, and waited for the General to continue.

 

Richard activated the big screen at the back, showing a topographical view of a world. "This is the quaint outer-rim world of Anaxis." Richard said. "Whilst it in and of itself is not a very big planet, hardly bigger than its own moon in fact, it is a key producer of Dilithium for the Romulan Fleet, that is to say, it used to be. Recently, the production numbers have declined somewhat in comparison to newer facilities that now exist deeper in Romulan Space."

 

"That is not to diminish the value of taking this target however." Richard said. "This is a key world, with its own Senator back on Romulus. This world also is the gateway to the inner systems that define much of the older RSE, and must be controlled in order to facilitate landings on other worlds."

 

"Unfortunately, our intelligence on Anaxis is not as good as I would like it to be for such an operation, however, we have a reasonable picture of strength of forces and other important factors, however the intelligence is approximately a month old. It seems our operative on Anaxis was discovered and executed." Richard said.

 

It was S'Valak who spoke up, "And what do the numbers look like concerning the Romulan occupation? Even old data could still prove useful."

"In her last report, our agent determined that the Romulan's had at least a regiment stationed at the base with three squadrons of attack fighters at the space-port." Richard said.

 

"We can expect a company guarding the orbital defence centre, and a full strength garrison in the colony proper. The civilian population numbers in the hundreds of thousands, and the colony is approximately ninety square miles of real-estate."

 

"We will be drinking over their bodies by the end of the week, General," Korgath snarled from his seat. The other three spared glances in his direction, but didn't bother to speak up.

 

Richard smiled at the Klingon, and continued his briefing. "We will engage in an airborne assault at 0300 local time, for maximum use of darkness. Our job will be to secure the orbital defence control booth first, so that elements of 3rd Battalion and elements of the 92nd Armoured Brigade can effect a landing to secure the military base and the colony itself."

"Easy Company will take the orbital defence control building, whist Fox Company will secure the main road that leads back down to the colony. No hint of our arrival must get back to the colony, to allow them to form a resistance. To that effect, Gold Company will secure this comm. Relay eight clicks from the control building here."

"Lastly, Helo Company will land near the military base in an effort to cut their communications lines and power lines to prevent their base systems informing the RSE of our attack and preventing them activating their defence measures. Once all these objectives are secure, we will effect the main landing, and take out the military base and the colony."

The Lieutenants all nodded in response, understanding each of their objectives; however, no one spoke up.

"I won't deny that this'll be a tough mission." Richard said. "But if we pull this off, it'll be a massive blow to the Romulan's. Not only will we be depriving them of a key world, but we'll be showing the Romulan government that we can hit them in their homes, much closer than they think we can."

Again it was Korgath who spoke up, "It will be a glorious battle, General, and a very good day to die!"

 

Next to him T'Shal raised an eyebrow and looked at him rather curiously, "Indeed."

 

"You've got 24 hours to prep your companies for departure." Richard said. "I suggest you get started. Dismissed."

=/\= USS Chimera – Main Engineering =/\=

It was busy in engineering with repair teams coming through to pick up
more equipment or materials, Lt JG Walker, Gustav's newly appointed
DCEO was working hard to direct the teams to where they were needed
but for once the ship was in very good shape after an engagement just
a few blown EPS relays.

Gustav himself was busy in engineering making sure everyone there was
doing there jobs properly and efficiently when the warp core suddenly
flared up signalling that the ship had entered warp then stopped a few
seconds later confusing him.

A few moments later the warp core fared up again but at the same time
the hole ship violently shook and dropped back out of warp, Gustav
knew the ship had probably been hit and soon enough there was orders
for damage control to head to the port impulse engine, judging by how
hard the ship felt like it had been hit the young CEO knew it was
probably bad so he decided to head up the repair team.

Grabbing a heavy engineers kit Gustav pointed to two engineers that
went doing anything very important "you and you your with me" he
ordered, "Walker you have control of engineering while I'm away" he
added as he and the two other engineers stepped into the turbolift.

Arriving at the deck Gustav and the two other engineers (a Lt named
Hayate and a Technician named Jordan) headed to the right section, as
they got closer they saw more and more damage, they soon arrived at
the engine and the sight before them was one of pure destruction,
nearly every panel was blown off the walls and most of the interfaces
were offline but surprisingly not blow.

"Hayate I need you to get the secondary interface back online, Jordan
I want you to try and replace as many of the gel packs as you needed"
he ordered as Gustav started work on getting the main control
interface back online so he could find out the true extent of the
damage caused.

After about fifteen minutes Gustav managed to get the main interface
back online and he started to run a level three diagnostic, within
minutes he knew what was wrong, all the plasma manifolds were fused
and needed replacing.

Tapping his comms badge Gustav contacted Lt JG Walker.

+taps+ Kroitzer to Walker.

+taps+ Walker here Sir.

+taps+ I need you to send 2 additional teams to my current location,
have them bring enough replacement plasma manifolds to replace all the
manifolds in the port impulse engine.

+taps+ I'll get on it right away Sir, Walker out.

After Gustav had given Walker his orders, he sent a quick report to
the bridge stating that it will take at least 6 hours to get the
engine full operational.

"Right boys" Gustav said to Hayate and Jordan "Lets get to work, we
need to start removing all the plasma manifolds, we will have
replacements and more hands here in a few minutes but we might as well
get started".
