[Conference Room - Deck One - USS Chimera NCC 96899-C]

"Borg." Rojac steepled his fingers and rested them on his bearded
chin. His gaze was locked on the Erassian Colonel to his right. "Well,
they are certainly a force to be reckoned with; but you said they're
only one of the enemies that you face now." He leaned back in his
chair and crossed his arms, "Can you tell me, or does that violate
some kind of temporal law, Colonel Ivanov?"

"Only a bureaucracy like Starfleet creates things like Temporal
Directives. The Erassian Alliance does not now or in thirty years
indulge in creating red tape for itself. Besides you are looking for
a name which will mean nothing to you yet so me telling you such names
will be of no benefit to yourself. That those enemies were cause to
build a Tyrant Class Warship like the Samson should be warning
enough." Nikolai replied.

Anya decided to enter the conversation properly. "We are getting away
from more immediate concerns. What is the likelihood of the Romulans
and Muhareem sending more reinforcements through the gate? Do they
have anything nastier than the Thelaron Cruiser you took out upon
arrival? And finally what are the chances of us receiving more
reinforcement ships from Starfleet or the Alliance in the other
dimension?"

Nikolai turned to her and fixed her with a piercing gaze.
"Romulan/Muhareem reinforcements are highly likely. There will likely
be an evacuation convoy attempting passage through the gate shortly
and they'll be escorted by the bigger and nastier war cruisers. As
for friendly reinforcements you can forget about those. The
Federation is gone, what little remains of Starfleet has retreated to
the Delta Quadrant where the Borg are picking them off. The Alliance
has fallen, Erass herself has been burned to ashes and the remaining
two Tyrant Class Warships EAS Market Garden and EAS Overlord have both
gone silent so we can likely assume they are dead also. No help will
be forthcoming so we need to destroy that gate as soon as possible."

"Agreed." Rojac replied. "We will do so soon enough. When will you be
returning, Colonel?"

Nikolai was equally amused and appalled at the idea. "Returning? You
expect me and my people to go back to that slaughterhouse? No
Captain, I will lend my services to the Alliance in this realm. They
may not welcome us with welcome arms but they wont kill us out right."

"Starfleet could pay you quite well" Anya put forward.

"My loyalty is not for sale Major." Nikolai replied.

"Good Colonel. At least you have your priorities in order." Anya replied

Walters interrupted a question of his own. "Can you at least tell us
when the world starts to fall apart? When it all starts to go wrong?"
If he at least had a timescale he could work to that was something.

"Major Walters by this date the world has already started to go
rotten." Nikolai responded.

"Is it as bad as I've imagined?" Walters asked suggesting upon his
tactical papers he had published for the Defense Committee and his own
Research & Development superiors.

"Worse by far Major. You are dealing with an enemy far more capable
and far more prepared then you ever expected." Nikolai replied.

Rojac uncrossed his arms and stood from his reclined position. "Well,
sitting around isn't going to help out our gloomy situation. Walters,
get to the bridge and have Operations access the detonation frequency
for Major Cortez's detonator - if they haven't been disarmed by now.
As a back-up, have Commander Levison load out the torpedo tubes with
our best stock."

"Yes Captain, may as well get our kicks while we can." Walters said.
He rose and nodded at Colonel Ivanov. "If you'll excuse me Colonel."

Rojac held out a hand to the Colonel. "Thank you again, Colonel
Ivanov. You are welcome to enjoy the fireworks on the Bridge if you
wish."

"Tha.." Nikolai stood to take the proffered hand when he was
interrupted by a beep. He raised his hand to his right ear and drew a
line in the air towards his mouth activating a sub-dermal comm device.
What followed was what looked like a one sided conversation.
"Ivanov, go"

"How many?"

"Just the one. What Class?"

"Sheiss that was far too quick. At least we've got range on them.
Okay ready the main cannon, I'll beam over in a moment."

Nikolai turned back to Captain Rojac. "There's a Romulan Heavy War
Cruiser coming through the gate. We'll lay in some long range fire on
them to slow their advance. I need you to finish the job of
destroying that gate Captain."

Anya stood "I'm coming over to your ship with you Colonel. I want to
see what the Romulans are sending against us. There may be the chance
there have already been others come through the gate." Nikolai nodded
and moved his hand and in a green flash with a sound like a mini
thunderclap left Rojac alone in the Conference Room.

[USS Chimera] SD240910.28 ||PROJECT LOS ALAMOS|| Duty Log, Cdr Rick Rodgers and Trevor Wright

=Janus Research Station=
=Janus VI=
 
The miners on Janus VI had grown accustom to seeing people coming and going from the local science facility that they took no notice when a new group arrived with a small security escort. When Rick arrived with Trevor Wright, it was business as usual.
 
Wright had gathered a small team for what starfleet was calling Project Los Alamos. Only three scientists and two engineers, other than Rick and Wright, made up the team. In fact, there was more security personnel than people actually working on the weapon.
 
Before he left Unity and right after he had spoken to Wright, Rick informed his brother that he was being temporary transferred. To say that Trent was not pleased would be considered an understatement. When Trent inquired why, Rick said it was classified.
 
Trent had gone to Shane to ask why their CEO was being taken away at such short notice. Less than an hour later, Trent was told to let it go, not by Shane, but by Admiral Janeway. So, the argument that Trent had prepared was torpedoed right away. Of course it didn't make the XO any happier.
 
Like Trent, MaiKai was also upset that Rick was being sent away on such short notice. She could give birth in the next month or so and Rick might not be there. He wanted to tell Wright to go to hell, but Rick knew it would do no good. He was a part of this project whether he liked it or not.
 
So, now, he found himself almost on the other side of Federation space from Unity where he would work on this contraption that he despised with all of his being. Just the idea that he was working on the TechEx made him ill to his stomach.
 
Rick decided to introduce himself to the rest of the team, which had already been hard at work for the past month or so.
 
The first two people he met were Doctors Lana Jalawaski and Tomma Richter. They were experts in the field of tachyon particles. Rick had learned that the two had worked together for quite sometime on various projects. After talking with them for a few minutes, Rick realized that they had no idea what they were actually working on. Rick just passed it off as Trevor not getting around to telling them.
 
The next person Rick met was a vulcan scientist by the name of Valvok, who's field of choice was energy dissipation. Like with Jalawaski and Richter, Valvok had no clue what he was actually working on.
 
The same held true with Lieutenant Kokamoto and Harv Luck, two engineers who were working on the delivery device.
 
After speaking with the engineers for about a half an hour, Rick marched into Wright's office.
 
"They don't know, do they?" Rick asked, not even bothering to knock on the door.
 
"No,. They don't," Wright said as he was standing behind his desk, going over some paperwork.
 
"Why not?"
 
Wright finally looked at Rick, "Would you want to know if you already didn't?"
 
"That's not the point."
 
"Yes it is. That's exactly the point. They're working on a device that could result in the deaths of hundreds of millions ... likely more. Their minds right now, including Doctor Valvok's, needs to be on their respective tasks. We don't have time for any of them to deal with their consciences."
 
"So, you and I are the only ones around here who know?"
 
Wright nodded.
 
"They're going to know, eventually," Rick said. "Like when news breaks of the device being used against the Romulans."
 
"Maybe. Maybe not. There's a chance the TechEx will not be used. If that's the case, then they will have no idea. They may even be able to sleep better at nights."
 
"You really believe there's a chance this damn thing will not be used."
 
Wright shrugged, "One could only hope. But until then, it's best they know only what they need to know."
 
Rick rubbed his eyes and shook his head at the same time.
 
"If you want to tell them, then go ahead. I won't stop you," Wright said.
 
Rick stared at Wright for a good thirty seconds.
 
"No," Rick finally said. "Let them have a peace of mind for now."
 
Rick left Wright's office questioning a great many things, including serving in a starfleet that would promote the use of such a device. It made him feel uneasy in his own uniform, one that he at one time was proud to wear.

Lt Dior made some comments about the relative calmness on the Chimera's bridge after the Samson's arrival. Rojac, Walters and Xerxes met with Colonel Ivanov in the Conference Room.

Charlie - Ixus

...Watch this space.

Unity - Rangi

Rick and Trent Rodgers discussed the threat to Trents life but he insisted he could take care of himself. He excused himself when informed that a package he had been expecting had finally arrived.

The 'package' turned out to be Chloe Uttleys family, who had a brief but poignant moment together with her.A security officer asked Trent why he had rescued them and Trent replied that something good had to come out of the war and that it was also repaying a debt to a friend whom he had been unable to help in the past.

Rangis plans for an early end to her day came to a juddering halt when she read a report  informing her that three crewmen onboard two ships were displaying the same symptoms as the hostages recued from the Breen freighter.All three had worked at the medical research unit.Rangi contacted Shane to tell him of the potential problem.

-------------------------

- Quotes of the Week (by Ixus)

------------------------- 

How do you miss a ship about the size of Manhattan?

Science couldn't find an EAS Samson anywhere in the database. Dior
hadn't really expected them to however - it had come from an alternate
dimension.

Lt. Rayna 'Lookout' Dior

**************

Guess he doesn't know what's coming next?

"Because deep down, I believe that there has to be something decent to
come out of this damn war. With so many people losing their loved
ones, maybe, just maybe, we can save a few."

Capt. Trent 'Awww' Rodgers

**************

Even in Starfleet, penmanship counts!

Anything from the + Medical Research Intelligence. Biogenic
Unit +  did not make good reading when eating biscuits

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

-------------------------
- 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] ||UNITY|| SD 240910.26 Joint Duty Log, Cmdr. Rangi Summers & RAdm. Shane Guzman

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

======= Shane's office, SB 234: UNITY
====

Engaged in the endless paperwork surrounding the position of
task force commander, Shane found it impossible to fight the
huge workload. All he could do was to retaliate the best he
could and hope not to get buried under all the PADDs,
requests and orders coming his way.

It was the usual 'read-a-PADD' followed with
'curse-the-sender' and then 'contact-the-sender' coming
along with
'thinking-how-the-hell-am-I-supposed-to-solve-this' when
Pakosii contacted him over internal comm., suggesting that
an important matter was on the other line. Shane knew his
aide and trusted into his abilities to filter most of the
less important business so he better accepted the
communication.

It was Rangi who appeared on the other end of the screen.
"Shane?" Rangi said calmly. "We have a potential problem."

Shane raised an eyebrow. It was not usual for Rangi to state
something like that without immediate explanation. "What
happened?" he asked.

"You remember the six rescued hostages from the Breen
freighter?" she asked, knowing that he was unlikely to
forget.

Shane nodded and Rangi continued.

"They had a little girl with them too and they were all sent
to the Medical research unit on Aphos?" She filled in the
details giving him time to recall it all.

"Yes, I remember them" he answered wondering why Rangi was
mentioning them now.

"Two of them died en route and the others didn't survive
long. Well, I've just been told that three crewmen are
exhibiting the same symptoms but the strange thing is that
all three worked in the unit."

Shane frowned: "That does not sound good to me. Where are
those crew members now?" he asked.

"Two took posts on the USS Scavenger...CMO and CScO...the
third one is on a different ship..the Wayfarer." she
replied. "I've asked ops to find the exact date they boarded
the ships and whether or not they've been in contact with
anyone else. There's no mention of anyone on Aphos having
problems but it's too much of a coincidence that three
persons should have the same thing."

Shane nodded: "I agree. That doesn't looks like
coincidence. What do you suggest?" he asked.

"Quarantine." she replied immediately. "The three are
isolated in sickbays but I'd advise both ships be put under
quarantine."

"Hmmm" Shane said, "that's really a radical way to go. To
be honest I am not fond about putting two ships out of duty
and quarantine them."

He was looking at her steadily from the screen and she had
adopted the same pose as he with arms resting on the desk
and fingers interlinked. Now she gave a slight shrug." I
know." she said "...and I understand it's not ideal but I
'do' think we need to be very careful."

"You still do not have a proof that those three crewmembers
have the same disease as those poor souls from the Breen
freighter, do you?"

"No." she answered quietly and shook her head. "It's just
that there are too many coincidences. I think it's
potentially very serious."

Shane nodded: "I do take the situation as serious, but
unless you have proofs that the disease endangers the crews
of USS Scavenger and USS Wayfarer, I am not willing to put
those ships under quarantine. Bring me the proof, and I do
as you suggest."

"Well that's just it." Rangi replied. "There is no actual
proof as yet but I'd err on the side of caution simply
because the biogenic research is on going."

"As for now, you can advise both command teams on Scavenger
and Wayfarer to minimize contact with the outside world but
let's keep it as advise only for the time being. Do you
agree?"

She had frowned and met his steady gaze with uncertainly.
"Very well." she replied" I'll do as you suggest but it's
with reservation. There's just something......." She left
the rest unsaid because in reality she had nothing more of
hard fact available. The three crewmen had been in contact
with the rescued hostages but had done so under the
strictest precautions. The hostages had died and no others
had become ill. She told herself that perhaps she was over
reacting and that perhaps it was all a coincidence. "Sorry
to have bothered you with it." she said, giving him a small
smile.

Shane smiled back at Rangi and said: "Do not apologize. I
can understand your point of view very well. You would be a
poor medical advisor if you would not care about such
events. It's just that I need more evidence before sending
whole crews into quarantine. Please keep me updated"
