[USS Chimera] SD240911.03 ||PROJECT LOS ALAMOS|| Duty Log, Cdr Rick Rodgers and Trevor Wright
=Janus VI=
"OK, it's not just the fact that I abhor this weapon, which I do in ways you can't possibly imagine," Rick said as he and Trevor Wright had a section of the TechEx open.
"Uh, huh," Wright said annoyingly, wearing a large pair of magnifying glasses that covered half of his head, closely studying the wiring.
"Aren't you concerned in the least that the Romulans, or some other power will develop their own device and, oh ... I don't know ... use it on us."
Wright simply said, "No."
"Why not!"
"I'm just not," Wright said. "Hand me that micro-optic drill."
Rick handed Wright the requested tool.
"You're not worried that someone else will use such a weapon against us?" Rick asked.
"No," Wright answered as a drilled a small section of plating with the most minute of holes.
"Really? Why not?"
"Oh, for heaven sakes, Commander," Wright put down the drill and removed the glasses. "Do you want to know why I'm not concerned?"
Rick crossed his arms and nodded.
"This device is so far ahead of anything the Romulans, or any other race in the known galaxy has, that by the time they figure it out, we'll have the means to counter it."
"You're so sure of that?"
"Yes, I am."
"Oh, I forgot. I'm in the presence of the greatest mind in the history of ... well ... everything. There's no way the Rommies can have a genius on nearly the same level as you."
Wright sighed, "Commander, I'm starting to regret bringing you in on this project."
"Good," Rick replied. "That's been my goal since I arrived here."
"You know, Rick. After word got out on the existence of the Genesis Device, there was a panic that the Klingons, Romulans or someone would soon develop their own version and use it on the Federation. But, as you are well aware, that is not the case. There was also a fear a couple hundred years ago that cloaking technology would allow the Romulans or Klingons to place ships in Earth orbit to attack us at will. That, too, hasn't happened."
Wright grabbed a glass of water and took a long drink.
"Besides myself, you are the only one who knows enough about this device to replicate it. Well, at least you would have a pretty good start. I haven't shown you everything just yet. The plans are not in any computers, nor will they be. When we are finished, Starfleet R&D, Intel, or anyone else will not be permitted access to the device. If we use it, it will go straight to a ship for deployment. If it isn't used, I will have it dismantled right away. But I assure you, what we know, no one else will."
Wright took another sip of water.
"And you know something else ..."
"What?" Rick asked.
"I am more intelligent ... way more intelligent than anyone the Romulans have."
Rick wondered if Wright was being serious. The elder engineer/scientist had been known to be arrogant from time to time. The one thing was for certain was that Wright seems awfully certain of himself.
As Rick wondered about the elder man's words, he caught a smile from Wright.
"OK, enough BS talk," Wright said, putting on his glasses. "Lets get this rewiring done so we can run some dry tests on the device in the morning."
Rick nodded as they went back to work.

Rangi told Shane about the three crewmen exhibiting the same symptoms as the Breen hostages and advised quarantining the two ships. Shane was not so sure and said he needed more proof that the outcome would be the same. Research was ongoing and Rangi had no proof to provide, so it was agreed that the Wayfarer and Scavenger be advised to limit contact with other ships and bases.
Jade arranged the first simulation with the help of Louis but experienced the beginnings of a headache. She decided to meditate for a few minutes but began to instruct her first
class.

- Quotes of the Week (by Ixus)
-------------------------
Change his rank to Sapper?
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.
RAdm. Shane 'Tunnel Rat' Guzman
**************
All Russians are optimists!
"Major Walters by this date the world has already started to go
rotten." Nikolai responded.
Col. Nikolai 'Happy Thoughts' Ivanov
************
Don't think that strategy is in the handbook!
"Starfleet Command will not be as forgiving I fear." Richard said. "I
lead an invasion of a Romulan critical world, and blew it."
MGen. Richard 'Bold Options' Sharpe
************
Reading things out of context is funny :D
The Major out of energy was in no shape to resist and soon found
himself back in the bed that he had just stumbled out of. Gazing over
at Fisher he realized what he had done. "I'm sorry" he managed to say
before his eyes began to feel too heavy too hold up and he once again
drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Maj. Richard 'Bedhead?' Cortez

* 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).

[USS Chimera] ||UNITY|| SD 240911.02 Duty Log, RAdm. Shane Guzman
<<OOC … I am well behind reading logs, so I just hope I am
not contradicting to anything>>
====== CO's ready room, USS Qashqai
=======
Thinking about it, it is rather the usual image of me.
Sitting behind a desk, doing some paperwork or just thinking
about some trouble or another. Today is of no difference as
I am really quite troubled about the recent events.
It all began just recently, when I was invited for a top
important meeting at Starfleet Command on Earth. Not unheard
of, but surely uncommon to call officers from deep space
back to Earth just to attend a meeting. Since there was
hardly time to delay, I took the Qashqai and made it to
Earth with max warp. There were in fact two meeting, but we
get to that later.
The first meeting was a large one, flag officers involved in
the current Romulan war and a bunch of Starfleet Command top
Admirals. The meeting was a lengthy one and more then one HQ
brass had has a speech, but the general outcome was that
Starfleet Command isn't much pleased with the current
situation on the Romulan fronts. Well, there was some truth
in that, Starfleet had to take some embarrassing defeats
lately, but on the other hand, we gained quite a foothold in
Romulan territory with the Quorum space operation. Our
efforts were not much worth in he eyes of the top brass and
the audience was told that the war seems to be drawing
towards a long and exhausting one.
The attention then was drawn upon me and a few other
officers from sectors around SB 234: UNITY. It was presented
that our findings on Padassa station indicated that Romulans
were receiving some sort of support from parallel universe
… possibly more the one. Together with the appearance of
Thalaron cruisers (who are really an formidable weapon)
Starfleet Command came to an conclusion that a new tactical
element was to be introduced soon. We were not told what
that element should be, just informed that wherever
possible, emergency supplies or food, water and basic
resources should be prepared and in special cases our local
forces will be called for support.
"Support what?" I asked and been told that I shall be
informed about everything necessary in due time. That made
me raising en eyebrow, cause I am not used on such blurry
pieces of information, but there was nothing else to do then
to obey and remain silent.
The other meeting was a more casual one, more rich on
information, but far not that pleasant. In the end I left
Earth with the impression that I was talked down. Of course,
it was not done in a bluntly way (cause an Admiral is not
talked down), but the effects were no different. It took
some half en hour to get to the root of the matter and
learned that some HQ Admirals expressed their doubts about
my decision to dismantle a weapon of mass destruction
recently found on the USS Detector in an abandoned shipyard.
I objected that I strictly followed Starfleet regulations
and general objectives. Weapons of mass destruction were
never used by Starfleet … rather the opposite - a lot of
legal documents forebode the use of mass destruction weapons
for whatever cause.
"That just shows how a small frame you do see" I was told by
an elderly Admiral.
At the end of the meeting, I left with the impression that
some devilry is cooking in the Starfleet Command pots,
something like the Pegasus accident decades ago, where
Starfleet Security and Starfleet Intelligence try to employ
a cloaking device when the peace treaty signed with the
romulans explicitly forebode the usage of a cloaking device
on a Starfleet ship (in alpha quadrant). Quite a mess
happened around this accident and it took Admirals Picard
and Riker (Captain and Commander) at that time to cut
through the case.
I am no Picard or Riker and there just was no way how to cut
the case for me. I was just told that under a warrant from
President Spock himself a special operation was running and
that I shall find several agents on UNITY or within SSF
Forces under my command that have been given full authority
to acquire all necessary crew and resources for this
project. Saying it bluntly, there were some guys running up
my station that could ask for everyone and anything and I
was supposed to deliver that to them without a single
question.
I tried to ease the situation with a joke saying that "I am
not giving my pillow to anyone even under the pain of
death", but from all the facial expressions of those old
Admirals, it wasn't taken very well.
So there I am, sitting in my CO's ready room on the way back
to UNITY pondering about the future.

[USS Chimera] Sd 240911.02 SB Unity. Duty Log : Cmdr Summers / MGen Sharpe (Part 1)
Part 1 )
*** Main Hospital. SB Unity ***
"This is USS Montgomery to Starbase Unity, we have a
priority one medical emergency, request immediate transport
for one patient straight to sickbay."
In the main hospital the call was passed to the head nurse
Lucy Fleming who immediately alerted the team on call in the
emergency rooms.
Three people materialized into the middle of the hospital
reception area. Doctor Borvan was holding up a sachet of
plasma as his nurse was trying to keep an oxygen mask on the
patient.
"Details" Lucy said, wasting no time on pleasantries.
"This is Major General Richard Sharpe, male, aged 50,
he's bleeding out internally, but we can't isolate the
source. He's not responding to treatment and he's
slipped into cardiac arrest twice prior to beam down."
Doctor Borvan reported.
"Straight to the sensor suite." Lucy directed although the
team needed no second telling. " ..and contact Doctor
Summers." she said to the duty nurse who nodded and put
through the call. Anyone of high rank was routinely seen by
the CMO whether or not in an emergency.
"How long has he been like this?" Lucy asked walking
extremely quickly to keep up with the trolley and the trio
engaged in keeping the patient stable.
"Just shy of an hour." Doctor Borvan said. "He'd recovered
from his
initial
injuries in sickbay, but he broke out of sickbay, then this
happened."
"When were the injuries...how long ago?" Lucy demanded as
they entered the brightly lit suite.
"Coming on eight hours now." The doctor said.
On the count of three, the Generals body was transferred to
the bio bed and immediately a surgical support frame was
lowered across him.
The nurse was back. " The doctor will be here in a few
minutes." she said.
"Good." Borvan said, just as Richard once again went into
cardiac arrest.
"Damnit! He's coding!" Borvan moved towards the General.
"Don't you
dare die
on me you old fart!"
The 'clamshell' support frame had an inbuilt
cardiostimulator and it was this that stabilised Richard
'though it took a few minutes.
"Whats happened?" Rangi asked as she hurried into the room
and Lucy explained about the previous injury, the cardiac
arrests, the internal bleeding and how Richard had
"...broken out of sickbay." glancing at Borvan as she ended.
Rangi looked sharply in his direction. " Broken out of
sickbay?" she asked.
"He was in a state of emotional distress." Borvan said. "He
refused
to
return to bed, despite repeated requests. He kept blaming
himself for the
failure of the mission, so Sergeant Harper took him
somewhere to try and
cheer him up, then a few moments later, called for help, as
the General had
collapsed and was spewing blood from his mouth."
Rangis lips compressed into a line of annoyance for she had
just left her previous patient who was blaming himself for a
failure which in all probability he couldnt have avoided
either.
"Let's see what he's done." Rangi said taking Lucys place at
the side of the bed, her eyes scanning the multitude of
results made possible by the sensor array above them.
Borvan waited patiently for Rangi's assessment of the
General.
"That's it." Rangi said and looked across at Borvan. " Youve
never treated him for a duodenal ulcer?" she asked.
"A duodenal ulcer?" Borvan said, with a look of mild
surprise. "No, we
were
dealing with combat triage, we dealt with what we could see.
We were
remarkably short staffed, so it is conceivable that a common
alement went
unnoticed."
" I take it he never complained of it then?" she said,
already suspecting the answer would be 'no' She had had
dealings with marines before and was of the opinion that the
vast majority of them felt that seeking medical advice was
tantamount to laying down their phasers in the face of the
enemy.
"I'm not his regular physician." Borvan said, narrowing his
eyes. "I
was
just on duty in the recovery room when the General woke up.
His physician is
the MEF Chief Surgeon, Colonel Veronica Fletcher. But no, he
mentioned
nothing about an ulcer, and it wasn't in his file."
"Then he's probably put up with the discomfort...possibly
for some time." Rangi replied. " he could ofcourse have been
self medicating, taking non prescription drugs to ease
things...he wouldnt be the first to do that."
"With all due respect doctor, this speculation isn't helping
to stop the
bleeding." Borvan said, flatly.
"We wouldnt have to speculate if we had up to date medical
histories." Rangi stated and ignoring Borvan, requested Lucy
to prepare the surgical tools she needed.
"You may observe if you wish." she said looking at Borvan
again and accepting the exoscalpel Lucy held ready, waited
only a moment for his reply.
Borvan shrugged. "I've got other patients to deal with. I
assume I can leave
the General in your charge then?"
"Most certainly." Rangi replied and to Lucy added: " Let's
begin."
