ILLUMINARRPG: (1-0735)- Dr. Riven Mias and Michaela Kirien-Mias
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2020 02:08:49 -0500
Mission: Decompression
Day: 1
Stardate: 2445.09.27
(Utopia Planitia-- Mars Base Grounds -- Federation Ambassadors at Large--
Dr. Riven Mias and Michaela Kirien-Mias-- 0735)
The man who was strolling from the shuttle pad nexus was not tall, standing
exactly halfway between five and six feet. He wasn't thin but had a slight
pot belly. He wasn't a particularly fast walker since he had slowed some
over the years and was now well into his sixties but then again he had
seldom needed speed. While he had certainly slowed a bit it wasn't by a lot
and he was perfectly capable of switching gears if needed.
He was brandishing a gnarled cane which he seldom used, it was more of an
affectation than a needed tool most of the time. He had used it for a while
after limping angrily away from the Spectre and against all reason had
taken a liking to the image he cut with it.
He was wearing a pristine white robe today that seemed to repel the red
martian dust that was in the air despite all odds. But that was its
intended purpose, the fabric had been created to be resistant to such
things, why else would he be wearing it in such a climate? The cloth belt
about his waist was a nutty brown in color.
His hair was long and white, trailing down behind him to the small of his
back and braided with silver charms which tinkled merrily in the gusts of
wind. The silver chimes tied to the tassels of his sandals likewise
announced every movement of his feet.
His beloved wife was upon his left arm as he looked about at the hustle and
bustle of the base with a pleased smile.
Michaela stood beside her husband. She had been offered a Starfleet
uniform but had declined, choosing to be clad in ambassadorial robes. Her
dark hair was twisted upwards and confined with tiny pins that added
sparkle against the inky dark.
"Alaya left Betazed for THIS?" Michaela Kirien-Mias gazed around in slight
confusion. Michaela tended towards being a bit judgemental in her
increased years. Nearing 60 herself, she was still beautiful and
accomplished. "Is the ship here we are to meet? I never got the chance to
meet Nessa's alien that wrecked her career." Michaela had always been
slightly jealous of Vanyssa Winters. Her tone was slightly cutting. The
biggest reason they were here was to assist the young First Officer of the
Illuminar. The Betazoid government was curious about Luma'lenai and wanted
her studied, and some of her vast history recorded. That was to be
Michaela's job.
She turned to her husband as the yeoman attached to them trailed with their
baggage. The young woman could have beamed them directly but she insisted
that if the ambassadors were walking, so would she.
Riven turned his head to her, his smile never faltering. His irrepressible
good humor had not waned despite his disagreements with the ruling enclave
within the temple of the goddess on Betazed over his repeated forays aboard
Starfleet vessels. He had served on four in various capacities, primarily
as Counselor, the Nimitz, Mystique, Hades and Spectre. The last had been
infuriating, he had offered his services after happening into their mission
and been soundly rebuffed by it?s Captain who had arrogantly offered to
take him aboard at a reduced rank. Riven had refused being demoted from
Lieutenant Commander to Lieutenant and limped away with a sore knee for his
trouble. That had been a fitting departure from such a sad ship. He would
have stayed aboard just to be of service to it?s crew and no other reason
had they only been willing.
"Now, now my sweet. Her former First Officer would hardly have demanded
oversight of the entity had he not seen something of worth in her. Vulcans
after all do not let emotions rule their thought processes and Nessa
herself never blamed Luma'Lenai for what transpired. Luma aided them as
best she could, it was the energy Vanyssa was conducting telepathically
that burned her out.You know that as well as I."
His eyes crinkled merrily at his wife. He knew she didn't like the environs
she currently found herself in.
"The Illuminar is scheduled to arrive this afternoon so I requested we be
assigned quarters on the base." He had looked over a map of Utopia Planitia
and knew where they were. To their left off of the concourse was the oval
structure containing general living quarters and closest to them on the
right was medical. Beyond it was the security offices.
The ten story tall administrative complex was next and in the center of the
base, before it was a paved oval walkway with the seal of the Federation
gleaming at its center. Since engineering took up part of the far side of
the administrative building the next was their storage and vehicle bay.
The last building was the science and R&D annex.
"I was told that the best quarters available were in the science annex so
that is our first destination."
He sensed the suppressed groan from the yoeman following them and turned to
her. "Young lady I would be happy to take a bag or two."
"Thank you sir but I've got this." Her reply was crisp and resigned.
?Kiella, you can beam directly there. We really do not mind.? Michaella?s
voice was kind and gentle.
?No Ma?am. I'm fine. In Ambassadorial Etiquette Class, they tell us it is
frowned on to do so. If our charges walk, we have to as well. And the VIPs
are not allowed to carry their own bags.? Michaela wanted to laugh at the
silly rules but chose not to. Poor yeoman. At least the young woman was
honest about things. She seemed to understand that the two wanted honesty
and that both being telepaths did not put up with attempted deception. Even
for politeness? sake.
It was a long, long walk to where they were going, but it was not terrible.
Soon enough they were passing through a large park filled with animals. A
small grey and white female cat came bounding over to them and rubbed
herself against Riven?s feet. Michaella looked around curiously. ?This park
is beautiful. A true labor of love for someone. I would enjoy picnicking
here with you before we leave, my dearest Heart.? It was truly a large
park and Michaella was overjoyed at the happiness that she sensed from the
animals around her.
He gazed down with mirth at the kitten that had begun by brushing his ankle
with her body. Quickly enough she grazed the chimes and started a merry
tinkle. The display of affection was quickly forgotten as she discovered
the new toys and began to play with them, batting at them with her paw.
He laughed and scooped her up after bending down then straightened quickly
with her in his arms. "I do believe I've found a new friend." The kitten
struggled momentarily.
::Calm down little one, you've gotten old enough to find a home where you
can be properly adored.::
She relaxed into his arms and he scratched under her chin which started a
contented purr. His mental communication hadn't been understood but the
soothing projection had been successful.
New prize in hand he then sent to Michaela. ::Perhaps you should make
yourself available my sweet. These animals are starved for affection.::
Michaella smiled in return, ::That is why I want to return here and spend
some time. There are many animals here that desire attention. You and a
cat.:: She seemed amused.
As they finished passing through to the housing section, she turned towards
Riven ::Do we need to report in to anyone? I?m not exactly sure what the
protocol is for visiting ambassadors.:: Riven had been an ambassador for
much longer than she had. She remembered one of the first times that she
had met him, when they were disguised as Cardassians and she had danced
with him in a bar, not knowing who he was, only that he was the most
intriguing person she had ever met. Later she had found out that he was the
person that they were supposed to be meeting and ultimately extracting from
the planet.
::After dropping off our things we are going to visit an old friend who
should have more information for us. As I understand it he has his fingers
on the pulse of things that are developing and not just on nerve ganglia
clusters.:: His eyes sparkled mischievously as he gave her a sideways
glance and he winked.
It was the moment her life had truly changed for the better and that the
grief that had plagued her with the death of her daughters? sire years
before. When they had left the Spectre, her daughters had joined the
Academy. Gabriella was a Commander on a starbase as the first officer,
Elizabeth was a Lt and enjoyed flying anything that had wings. Their Father
had been a pilot, and while Gabby took after her, Liz took after James
Wilson. And Liz had no desire to advance in rank if it meant that she would
get stuck behind a desk. She missed her girls, it had been almost five
years since she had seen Gabby, longer since Liz had been home. Her twins
while identical were anything but in personality and skill.
?Will we be seeing Admiral Winters while we are here?? Michaella asked her
Imzadi with a soft smile. While she was slightly jealous, and might always
be, but it would be good to see her.
"We will have more than enough time. Word came to me that the Illuminar
will have shore leave here." The change from telepathy to speech was made
with the idea not to completely exclude the yoeman from their discourse.
Her duty was onerous enough without feeling as though she was being shunned
or excluded.
A nod as they reached the quarters assigned to them. Michaella waited for
the yeoman to enter, then she and Riven entered as well. The kitten wanted
down to explore. ?I?m surprised there are so many animals here. There are
not just cats but dogs and squirrels and birds, hamsters
and...other..things.? She had sensed things that she did not approve of.
?But that park was truly lovely.? Michaella stopped and opened her larger
duffel, to take the time to change from her creased and travel worn
clothing. Ducking into the bathing room, she exclaimed ::They have a real
water shower?:: She was shocked and pleased by this development. It would
take her forever to get her hair dry again but it would be worth it. ::Care
to join me, Imzadi?:: Michaella had long ago learned to take the days as
they came, to enjoy the pleasures of the moment.
::Of course.:: He laid out a robe of midnight blue and gold and small
clothes to put on beneath it before removing what he had been wearing. His
feet did not have the benefit of protection so were dusty. His hair
likewise would take time to dry. He removed the charms and shook out the
braids, grabbed soap from the small travel bag and joined her. ::Easy on
the temperature now, you know I don't like it too hot. I prefer to steep
rather than boil.:: His laughter echoed through the apartment as he entered
the shower and gave her fanny a light slap.

1900)
They had arrived at Utopia Planitia space dock and would be disembarking
for Mars shortly. Illuminar had been scheduled for upgrades and would
receive them before the next mission. The UP engineering/dock operations
crew was scheduled to board at 0800 tomorrow.
Their first mission had been hard fought and draining but successful.
Sekal's commendations and promotion recommendations had been approved and
he had gathered the officers for one last meeting before leaving the ship.
He was standing at the head of the table with four small black boxes there
before him. He looked about at those assembled before speaking.
"StarFleet Command has set a preliminary target for our next mission but
before the orders come through the officers and crew have received
commendations for a successful mission to Bajor and been granted a five day
leave of absence while the ship is being upgraded. I have also received
permission for the following promotions. This is both a duty and an honor."
He picked up the first box on the right and opened it.
"Ensign Ariel Trei is hereby promoted to Lieutenant junior grade.
Lieutenant Trei please step forward."
(Reply: Trei)
As she stepped before him he pinned the black 'empty' pip below the solid
'full' one adding what was known as the 'Lieutenant's row' then shook her
hand. "Congratulations Lieutenant."
(Reply: Trei)
He placed the box to the side and picked up the next in line.
"Ensign Keung Lee is hereby promoted to full Ensign and Assistant Chief of
Security. Ensign Lee please step forward."
(Reply: Lee)
He removed the empty pip from his collar and pinned a full one in its place
then shook his hand. "Congratulations Ensign."
(Reply: Lee)
He dropped the empty pip in the box and placed it with the other then
picked up the third.
"Lieutenant Quinna Solice is hereby promoted to full Lieutenant. Lieutenant
Solice please step forward."
(Reply: Quinna)
He removed the empty pip and replaced it with the full one then shook her
hand. "Congratulations Lieutenant."
(Reply: Quinna)
He placed the empty pip in the box and set it to the side then picked up
the last box and exposed the full pip that lay within.
"Ensign Dieter Gregory is hereby promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and
Assistant Chief of Operations. Lieutenant Gregory please step forward."
(Reply: Gregory)
He pinned the full pip above the empty one creating the Lieutenant's row
then shook his hand. "Congratulations Lieutenant."
(Reply: Gregory)
After the officer had resumed his seat Sekal continued. "You are now
officially on leave. Quarters have been set aside for all at Utopia
Planitia base. Those who wish to depart Mars for leave are to return no
later than 0800 on the 2nd. Dismissed."
(Reply: Any)
As they began filing out he caught Sienna's attention.
"Lieutenant Verin I have received a communication that your presence is
required at the medical center. Doctor Riven Mias will be expecting you."

ILLUMINARRPG: (1, 1910) FO Lt. Sienna Williams-Verin
From: kelesiadesign at gmail.com (Melinda Gatling)

Mission: Decompression
Day: 1
Stardate: 2445.09.27
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Conference Room- FO- Lieutenant Sienna
Williams-Verin - 1910)
Sienna sat in her normal seat. The last week was relaxing. Not difficult.
Sure she had spent two days with her twin and his wife, both on the Exeter
and on DS9, and talked a lot of things out with him, needed things. She had
experienced a nightmare that left her screaming for help, and no help
arrived. And she had expected that when they arrived in Sol's system,
Sector 001 that Q's 'gifted' powers would go away.
Alas, that had absolutely not been the case. They were all gathered in the
conference room, and had received promotions. But several people that she
had recommended had not. Perhaps it was just that those had not had time to
go through. If anyone deserved a promotion during this fiasco, it was Vex.
Vex was exhausted. Alaya had worked hard as well. There were alternative
ways to reward service, Sy just was not used to them yet. She would need to
dig into the annals and see about ribbons and commendations.
The Bajor mission had helped forge a bond with the crew, and further
missions would absolutely do so as well. Missions that were not a crucible,
a forced forging by fire.
Sy smiled happily as several people that she counted friends received their
promotions. Especially Ensign Lee who had worked so hard in such a short
period. He truly deserved it.
When the crew were dismissed for leave, she had stayed sitting there,
thinking. She was unsurprised that Sekal spoke to her. She didn't think
that she would get out of some sort of psych eval this trip home. The lack
of sleep was showing.
"Lieutenant Verin I have received a communication that your presence is
required at the medical center. Doctor Riven Mias will be expecting you."
"Ah, Yes, Sir. I will report in later tonight. I have a few things that I
still need to take care of before I can leave the ship." She waited for the
Vulcan to dismiss her before heading back to her quarters to pack. She
needed to send a message to her parents, indicating that she would not be
arriving at the ranch on Earth tonight like she had originally planned.
What would her Father think or say when Duke Williams found out his little
girl was being remanded to psychiatric custody.
That did not bear thinking about. Maybe he already knew. Certainly no one
could keep secrets around her Mother.

ILLUMINARRPG: (1, 1920) Assistant Chief of Security Ensign Keung Lee
From: Tsangjk at outlook.com (John Tsang)
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2020 23:23:24 +0000
Mission: Decompression
Day: 1
Stardate: 2445.09.27
(USS Illuminar- Deck !4 ? Assistant Chief of Secuity office ACS Keung Lee ? 1920)
The Assistant Chief of Security Office located on Deck 14 was as far as Keung was concerned it designed to be functional. The environment felt clinical but he was impressed by the window view of the Utopia Planiia space dock. Keung walked over to the desk by the window and sat on the swivel high backed chair. Unfortunately he had his back to the window and he thought about the re-positioning his desk so he can have a view but he realised that he was facing the door. At one end of the room was a round conference table with room for six people to sit around the table. A monitor was attached to the bulkhead nearby. Keung was pleased to see a replicator by the door. He placed his feet on the desk and thought about his promotion as the Assistant Chief of Security. You done well for yourself, boyo...promoted in such a short time, thought Keung. But what a role that he has taken on. It was his job to interpret the Chief of Security policies and implement the security measures on a day to day basis. That include thinks like organising the rotas for security officers and allocating duty positions. Goodness me..how many were there serving aboard the Illuminar? He had to find out!! Perhaps after he would return from leave, he would set up a ?get to know you session?. He would have to organise the security detail for Away missions which meant also providing close protection for senior officers including the Captain. After what happened on Bajor, Keung considered setting up a training programme for the crew including his security officers. The armoury was next door to the office and he also realised that his role include looking after the administration of the armoury. He must have a good look in there but that too can wait after he returnede from leave. What else he has to do? He wondered if there was any paper in the drawer of the desk only to find there wasn?t any paper nor a pen!! But there was a PADD and he took that out, and switched it on. he jotted down his thoughts about his job and some ideas that could be put into place . There wasn?t anything physically he could do whilst the ship was in refit. However that didn?t stop him from doing any research whilst he was on Mars..do a bit of networking! Half an hour later he finished. It was too late to inspect the armoury and the firing range. He decided to find his new quarters on desk 3. .

(USS Illuminar - Deck 8, CSO?s Office - ACSO Lieutenant (jg) Jaton Alyl,
ASCRD Ensign Stennin, and ACEO Ensign Vex'ahlia Jordaan - 0921)
Jaton nodded. "That seems like the best theory we have so far. The question
is how we can block it, and in a way that is culturally acceptable to the
Bajorans."
Stennin frowned in thought. "There remains the issue of interacting with
the orbs." He looked at Jaton.
"I suppose there's no chance of us getting one of the orbs and it's
container onboard the ship?"
Stennin rose a brow. It was an unorthodox idea, but perhaps the only
possibility.
Vex spoke first. "Not a snowball's. Not unless we get the go-ahead from the
captain, the Kai, and the Vedek Assembly."
?I get the feeling that that would be a flat no- at least from the
council.? Vex said as she thought about the confrontation Carson & the
Captain had with the lead Vedek the day previously. ?Do we have the specs
on the containers here? How were they made originally, what are they made
of??
Stennin stood in thought for a moment as he reviewed his own notes on his
PADDs. "Our metallurgical scans provided no conclusive information. The
containers are made of an unknown, high-tensile and temperature resistant
alloy. Its origins are uncertain." He looked at Jaton.
?If we?re going to find that information anywhere, it?d be in the original
scans carried out on DS9 back in the 2370s. We?re going to have to find
them and see how they compare to our own scans.? Jaton replied.
Stennin nodded. ?It would be logical to assume that that data, however aged
it might be, holds some answers to our current ones. Lieutenant Dax has
been noted to have found some...unique information.? Stennin looked at his
PADD, and walked over to a console. ?Is it agreeable that we contact the
Science annex on DS9??
?That would be best in my opinion.?
Silence for a moment before Vex looked up from the screen she?d been
intently looking through, ?Hmm?? she looked between the two men as Luma
quickly reminded her of the conversation they?d been having. ?Yes. That
seems like the best course of action.? she replied nonchalantly. ?Sorry.?
Vex tacked on the end, ?How long will it take to get that information and
what can we be doing in the meantime??
"It should take a couple hours. In the meantime, I think the best thing to
do is take the data that we have already and start coming up with solutions
for shoring up the casings. We're going to want a series of solutions,
running the gamut of invasivity. That way the Vedek Assembly can choose
which is the best for them, taking into account the seriousness of the
problem while still respecting their religious views."

?Gunsmoke, you take the controls.I want to check on our guests and make
sure the cargo is secure,?
?Sure think Raid.Computer, transfer controls to Copilot station.?
[Affirmative]
Montero unbuckled and stood up.Moving to the crew cabin he looked around
briefly.?Thank you for choosing to fly with Montero Air today.Our ETA to
the Wormhole is a bit under three hours,?
Walking over to the replicator, ?Two coffees, pilot mugs,? he said as he
looked around.
?Hello Doctor, I trust our small sickbay will be sufficient.Not that I
expect us to have anything but a smooth flight.?
(Reply Solice)
?We?re all still getting used to the Hillary.She?s a great solution for
missions like this.Handles like a charm.Why Gunsmoke and I were doing
some atmosphere skipping the other day.If there is anything I can do,
let me know.If you want a better seat, come up to the flight deck, we
have a great view.?
(Reply Solice)
Vic took the coffee cups out of the replicator, and turned to the
science station, ?Hello Lieutenant, how is our cargo holding out??
(Reply Alyl)
?Lets keep a tight eye on it.In fact, if you wouldn?t mind Lieutenant,
we could use your help manning the scanners.That will let Gunsmoke get
some practice flying the Hillary and give us a second set of eyes.Not
that I?m expecting anything, but the Denorios belt can be tricky, with
those ion eddies that pop up.?
(Reply Alyl)
?Thanks Lieutenant.?
Vic returned to the flight deck, handing Bebe a cup of coffee. ?Here ya
go,? he said.?Some liquid energy.?
Bebe turned her chair to look at Vic, ?I got a question for you.How are
we supposed to transport the cargo and use the angular momentum to pitch
it into the wormhole.?
Vic sat down and leaned back in his chair.?That?s where I get balled up.
Hate for this to come to a cropper.?
?This is serious Raid,? Bebe replied.?Cut the lingo?
?Ok.I was waiting to cover that, but the Engineer is a bit busy at the
moment.I?m not sure, based on what I understand about transporters, if
they can cut off the angular confinement, but that?s about all I know.?
?So, let?s model a couple other plans.I?m thinking we transport the
object ahead of us and capture it with a tractor beam, so we can give it
a push.?
?Sounds good, I?ll keep flying while you work your simulation magic
there Raid.?
?Agreed,? Vic replied as he turned his chair around and started working
on a simulation.

(USS Hillary - Flight Deck ? Pilot Ensign Vic Montero and ACSO
Lieutenant (JG) Jaton Alyl - 0949)
Vic kepthis eyes on the controls, watching and waiting to react to
whatever the Dennorios belt would throw at them next.Glancing over, he
noticed that Lieutenant Alyl was in some sort of trance.His eyes were
fixed on the display screen.
Just as he was about to call the doctor, he ?woke up?.Eyes alert as he
looked at Vic, ?I know what we must do.Set a course.We?re going into the
wormhole.?
Looks like we are jumping to plan D or E.?Aye sir,? he said as he
tweaked the course every so slightly.
?You mind explaining your logic, Sir?? Vic asked.
?Bulldog.You must find the bulldog.? Alyl replied urgently.?The fate of
the Federation rests on that.That is what the Emissary said?
~Emissary~, Vic thought. ~If he?s got an in with the Emissary? Well we
do have an orb on board.Who knows what other freaky stuff may happen.~
(USS Hillary ? Flight Deck ? Pilot Ensign Vic Montero and ACSO
Lieutenant (JG) Jaton Alyl - 1025 )
The rest of the flight to the wormhole was uneventful.Vic kept wondering
about the bulldog.What the reference meant.It?s not like some Science
officer would have seen his personnel jacket.
?We are approaching the wormhole entrance,? he said.?Scanners at maximum.?
As the Hillary reached the edge of the event horizon, there was a sharp
uptick of neutron particles.The event horizon flashed open.The whirlpool
of color, of light fascinated Vic.In the background, he would swear he
was hearing some humming.
?Hillary is entering the wormhole,? Vic said as the Hillary began to
move forward.The swirling patterns, the cascade continued, and the hum
increased.
Alyl called out, ?The orb is pulsating.Radiation levels are
increasing.We must hurry.?
Glancing up, the scientist looked at the navigational chart.?The Ring
Singularity.We must stop in the Ring Singularity,? he called.
Vic quickly pulled up some calculations, ?We will reach that section in
2.3 seconds.I?ll have to do a hard reverse to try to stop the ship.
?Set the reverse to 0.56 standard,? Alyl said.?That will keep us there.?
Vic quickly entered the information that the Lieutenant provided.Not the
time to question him.He didn?t know the science behind it, but the ship
slowed to a standstill.The computer confirmed that they were at the
event horizon of the Singularity.
?Now what?? Vic said out loud.
Suddenly on the screen was a shuttle.No idea where it came from.He
magnified the name on the shuttle and sucked in his breath.It couldn?t
be.Clearly, he was going mad.
But Alyl said to follow the bulldog.He tried to get a lock on the
shuttle, but the radiation prevented him from establishing a lock.The
ship started to move, so Vic slowly increased engine power to follow.
The shuttle continued to move in an irregular pattern, which Vic quickly
adopted to.It was a test pattern he and Sheridan made up to test the
aerodynamics of a shuttle.The two shuttles flew in unison within the
event horizon.
Suddenly, the first shuttle stopped.The humming increased.
?We are here,? Alyl said.?Setting coordinates for transport.?
Alyl worked over the transporter controls and the familiar hum of
demateralization filled the shuttle.
The orb became particles and disappeared from the Hillary.The computer
suddenly started sounding multiple alarms.
[Warning neutro particle flux increasing.]
[Warning, Ring gravitational pressure increasing above shuttle rating.]
[Warning shields at 75%]
(USS Hillary ? Flight Deck Pilot Ensign Vic Montero and ACSO Lieutenant
(JG) Jaton Alyl ? 1027)
?Time to get out of Dodge City,? Vic called out.?Buckle up, it?s going
to be a bumpy ride I think.?
He flipped the shuttle about, and increased power and quickly brought
the shuttle back into the positive CTL region.The ship was vibrating
hard as Vic tried to outrun the pressure wave coming after them.?
[Warning Hull temperature approaching limits.]
?Computer, shut up.?
[Unable to comply.Warning neutro field increasing.]
Alyl looked up, ?Must go faster.Must go faster.Must go faster.GO! GO! GO!?
Suddenly the swirling lights appeared as the Hillary exited the cone of
the wormhole, shooting out into normal space.?Elvis has left the
building,? Vic shouted out.
Vic set a course to the Illuminar and began accelerating to home as the
wormhole collapsed and disappeared from view.
?Well that was anticlimactic,? Vic said.?Thanks Lieutenant, you?re
Ace-high in my book.?
[Warning subspace disturbance] The computer called out
?I?m getting damned sick of all these warn?..? Vic said as the effects
of the wave hit the Hillary.
Time slowed down? distances all seemed impossibly long.Vic tried to
reach the controls, mere centimeters from his fingers, yet they were
meters away? W??..H??..A?.T?..T?.H?E..? he begin.Each letter hanging in
the air in front of him?
After what seemed like hours ?. Space returned to normal.Vic?s fingers
punched the panel hard. ?Damn.?

Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar, Deck 1 - Conference Room ? Operations Ensign Dieter
Gregory -- 1125)
After he sat down, Gregory started making notes on his PADD on the other
reports.The science report was interesting, as the Lieutenant reported
yesterday there was degradation of the casings housing the orbs.While
not an expert in metallurgy, he knew particles.Pulling up the scans of
these housing, he started to run some simulations of what particles
might degrade the metal.
After sending another note to Murdok, he continued to listen as the
other departments reported in.
The Acting Chief of Engineering spoke about being overworked when
landed, which was true based on the reports he was seeing in
Operations.He had been helping devote extra resources to help
engineering out, as many of the operations staff had some training with
engineering and simple repairs, freeing up Ensign Jordaan?s team for the
more important work, like transporter repairs.
?A BIG thank-you to Ensign Gregory and Ops for lending a hand that
allowed us to get to everything that we needed to.?
Gregory nodded.?No worries Ma?am.?
She continued, ?I've also looked over the casing designs of the orbs and
have forwarded them onto Lieutenant Jaton & Stennin for their review."
~Have to get a hand on that report later~ he thought.
(USS Illuminar, Deck 1 - Conference Room - Conference Room ? Operations
Ensign Dieter Gregory - 1200)
The Captain had been quiet and thoughtful through the department
reports. Gregory watched as he stood to his feet.
?Ensigns Gregory, Jordaan, and Stennin will assist Lieutenant Alyl in
devising a solution for the deteriorating protective field of the orbs.
Unless their complete failure is averted, we risk losing Bajor. Forward
all recommendations to me as soon as they become available.?
Gregory nodded.?Aye sir,? he replied.
He half-listened to the other assignments before the Captain finished
with ?Those are your orders.Dismissed.?
Gregory stood, approaching Lieutenant Alyl.?Sir, where do you want me to
setup?I?m not a metallurgist, but I am pretty good at particle physics.I
started running some simulations on the data at hand already, but it?ll
need better input to tweak the parameters from science.?

Sienna was tired. Bone-weary tired. It had been an exhausting few days and
she was operating on not enough sleep. Sekal had spoken to her, asking her
to lead the medical portion. She stood and nodded towards Quinna. "Firstly,
Dr. Solice's crew did well in stabilizing as many patients as possible,
evacuating them from the Temple grounds and finally identifying the poison
being used on the Kai. Dr. Solice, would you be so kind as to update us on
the Kai's case and the statistics from the Temple, and then could Ensign
Trei speak to Ensign Taya's case?"
(reply Solice and Trei)
Sienna was not sure what else to say once the doctors had updated the crew.
She sighed softly, "I will be questioning the Vedek that came aboard to
monitor the Kai later today, once her legal representative comes on board.
Counselor Ravenstone has been assisting security with the questioning of
other suspects. Ensign Trei, could you please give us more details about
what you sensed and observed during the Commander's conversation with the
Dean Vedek?"
(reply Trei)
"Lastly... this is a personal observation. The Bajorans are very suspicious
of us and our motives. I have been attempting to get information from the
science and medical archives about the cardassian poison that was used
against the Kai and have continually run into walls that they throw up. I'm
not sure what the issue is, other than they are combatative as a people and
fiercely independent. Do they resent us being here? Oh yes. Why, I do not
know. The wormhole has brought untold, needed wealth and security to Bajor
since they joined the Federation in Sisko's time. I recommend that we
re-establish an embassy on Bajor as soon as possible and that the
Federation make an obvious effort to include them as the valued member
world that Bajor should be."
Sienna looked own at her PADD for a moment, "And one final thing. Crew
morale is low from the deaths we suffered on the surface as well as the
non-stop schedule we have had over the last few days. I recommend at the
earliest convenience that we run minimal ship operations for twelve hours
and have as many crew as possible on a mandatory rest period. Whatever
problem Q wants us to deal with here, I am not entirely sure it is solved.
We need our crew to be on point, not lagging behind from exhaustion."
Sienna was including herself in this, she had not been resting much or
well, choosing to spend her time working to avoid the nightmares. But she
had seen on her walkthroughs of the ship that everyone was tired.
"And we are going to need to settle Engineering while Ensign Taya's
recovering." Sienna kept her tone neutral yet hopeful that Taya would
recover. She knew the psychological wounds would be more difficult than
repairing her body. "Ensign Jordaan? Can you update us on the state of
Engineering please?"

ILLUMINARRPG: (20, 1129) COUNS Alaya Ravenstone
From: kelesiadesign at gmail.com (Melinda Gatling)
Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2020 01:43:21 -0500
nrpg: Tried to pick a timestamp not being used.
Mission: The Root of Decay
Day: 20
Stardate: 2445.08.20
(USS Illuminar, Deck 1 - Conference Room - COUNS Alaya Ravenstone -- 1129)
Alaya was late, late, late. She had gone to Security to help with an
interrogation, then found out from Lee's offhand comment about the senior
staff meeting. She had dropped a kiss on Hammons' lips and told him she
would be back after lunch to help with the interrogations, then took off at
a lope for the deck 1 conference room. She stopped outside the room and
calmed her breathing, then stepped inside after patting her blue hair to
make sure that it was still in place.
She smiled around the room, aware that Sienna and Quinna were speaking.
Without making a fuss, she moved over to where Quinna was sitting and sat
down beside her. She reached out and poured herself a glass of water, and
took one of the pastries and placed it on a napkin before her. She was
hungry. It felt like she had been on the go all day and the day wasn't even
half over.
Alaya blinked and gave Sienna a good looking over. Sienna looked much worse
than she had in the previous days. Had she slept at all? Alaya glanced over
at Quinna in concern, then gestured silently towards Sy with her chin.
Then Trei was speaking about Taya's condition and something to do with a
Dean Vedek that had been in a conference with the Commander. Alaya had
apparently missed that, so she paid close attention to Trei's impressions.
When Trei was done speaking, Alaya glanced around the room. The new
security officers, Lee and McTaggard were sitting together. She had just
met Lee a little bit ago and he did not approve of her. McTaggard was
interesting and Alaya would have to make time to meet with her. Sienna had
sent her a note the day before that she wanted McTaggard evaluated since
she was new from the Academy, a recent graduate.
Vex, Luma's bondmate, looked as tired as Sienna did. Alaya acknowledged
that it must be difficult when your colleague and senior officer was dying
in sickbay. Engineering was understaffed currently, and Operations was
helping with that until they could get some more officers. She would need
to stop by and check on her, although Alaya was sure that Luma was keeping
a very close eye on Vex, and caring for her in Luma's own way. A pause came
in the meeting and Alaya spoke quietly, "We should plan a memorial service
for the lost crew. The question I have is if it would be better to wait
until we rendezvous with the Exeter before holding it, as they served on
Mars and might have friends aboard that ship as well. It's important for
the crew to get a chance to say goodbye to their friends and colleagues. I
have already had an uptick in requests for counseling, and I expect it to
rise when the hectic pace slows and the crew give themselves a chance to
think and feel. I imagine that Dr. Solice and Ensign Trei are going to be
receiving appointment requests and that there will be an increase in
requests for medications to help with stress and sleep. We should plan for
several days of R&R once we conclude this mission."
Alaya had once tried a girl's only campout on Mars, she was going to try
something different here. Different, but fun. Something for the crew to
enjoy.
"I would also like permission to start a weekly event, rotating through the
different shifts, so that everyone gets a chance to attend. The crew has
not really had a chance to become a whole, integrated entity, they still
see themselves as individuals. I have several ideas as to what the events
could be, but something different each week. "

1130)
Sienna was tired. Bone-weary tired. It had been an exhausting few days and
she was operating on not enough sleep. Sekal had spoken to her, asking her
to lead the medical portion. She stood and nodded towards Quinna. "Firstly,
Dr. Solice's crew did well in stabilizing as many patients as possible,
evacuating them from the Temple grounds and finally identifying the poison
being used on the Kai. Dr. Solice, would you be so kind as to update us on
the Kai's case and the statistics from the Temple, and then could Ensign
Trei speak to Ensign Taya's case?"
?Getting the Kai away from the temple seems to help. Though she is
stabilizing, she is still in a Coma. I am hoping she will awake in the
next couple of days, Hopefully, more sooner than later.? Quinna
Reported. She turned her attention to Trei. She thought how whe wanted to
sit down and have a cup of coffee with her. She seems to have held her own
while Quinna was away.
(reply Trei)
Sienna was not sure what else to say once the doctors had updated the crew.
She sighed softly, "I will be questioning the Vedek that came aboard to
monitor the Kai later today, once her legal representative comes on board.
Counselor Ravenstone has been assisting security with the questioning of
other suspects. Ensign Trei, could you please give us more details about
what you sensed and observed during the Commander's conversation with the
Dean Vedek?"
Quinna had not been around while this happened as she was hiding the Kai in
her quarters at the time. She did hear about what happened but was curious
about the details.
(reply Trei)
"Lastly... this is a personal observation. The Bajorans are very suspicious
of us and our motives. I have been attempting to get information from the
science and medical archives about the cardassian poison that was used
against the Kai and have continually run into walls that they throw up. I'm
not sure what the issue is, other than they are combatative as a people and

- 1131)
She was at a meeting. Yes, that was right- the senior officers meeting
which had been called by the Captain to go through what had happened in the
previous few days. Or had it been weeks? Had they really only been on the
planet for a few days?
Stifling a yawn she looked around the table as Sienna chatted with the
medical and counselling teams. She wasn't really listening. She was too
tired and distracted to really pay attention to what was happening.
Luma was helping her stay together. Their relationship had flipped in the
last day, Luma now taking care of Vex. It was sweet, but once they were
past this she was sure she'd feel a little disappointed in how quickly her
mental state had deteriorated once Taya's disappearance and eventually
attempted murder came to light.
She could feel Carson's glances towards her as he continued to keep a close
eye on her. He'd been a rock through the entire venture and she'd really
begun to appreciate him in a completely new and different way.
Luma was helping to shield her. Due to her exhaustion her mental discipline
had begun to slip, so in situations like this meeting, where she was
extremely close to a lot of people she had allowed Luma to envelope her
consciousness. It had been something they'd practiced in the event of Luma
needing to take action through her. Because of it, Vex could see and hear
everything Luma was thinking.
Luma pointed out that Sienna had begun addressing Vex personally and
replayed what she was saying directly into her mind. ~And we are going to
need to settle Engineering while Ensign Taya's recovering. Ensign Jordaan?
Can you update us on the state of Engineering please?~
"Thank-you, Sir." Vex said to Sienna after a small silence. "You've pointed
out that morale could be a little low. I'm eager to report that now we're
back in space Engineering is in a much happier place. I'll be able to
shorten shifts and allow a little more off-time for the staff." she paused
again as she looked around the room, concerned that she'd forgotten
something. "A BIG thank-you to Ensign Gregory and Ops for lending a hand
that allowed us to get to everything that we needed to. I've also looked
over the casing designs of the orbs and have forwarded them onto Lieutenant
Jaton & Stennin for their review."

She got up from her seat and responded to the questions.
"Taya's situation is unclear at the moment. As far as what I observed from the conversation of Dean Vedek and Captain Sekal, I can comment on that. I observed that Dean Vedek was deceptive in his response to Captain Sekal's questions about the poison and Taya's situation. He shoved no remorse for his involvement. If you wish to read the report, you can request it from Captain Sekal before he sends it to Starfleet, but I can tell you I felt deception and no remorse from Dean Vedek..

Day 20

(USS Illuminar, Deck 1 - Conference Room - CO- Lt. Commander Sekal- 1158)
The presentations and reports were completed. The officers had made
themselves available where time permitted. There had been many astute and
precise observations. It was time to hand out assignments and close the
meeting. Sekal stood to his feet.
"Ensigns Gregory, Jordaan, and Stennin will assist Lieutenant Alyl in
devising a solution for the deteriorating protective field of the orbs.
Unless their complete failure is averted we risk losing Bajor. Forward all
recommendations to me as soon as they become available."
(Reply: Stennin, Gregory, Jordaan and Alyl)
His eyes turned to medical.
"Keep me informed of Ensign Taya's condition and if Kai Hetel awakens
notify me immediately. Counselor Ravenstone is to schedule and coordinate a
proper memorial service for those lost from action on Bajor."
(Reply: Trei, Solice, Ravenstone)
And then only security remained. "Safeguarding Kai Hetel is your primary
duty. Your orders are unchanged. No one is to come near her outside of
medical personnel and those officers or personnel who have the proper
clearance. The security ministry has requested those prisoners taken from
the hotel be remanded into custody at eighteen hundred tonight and we will
be transporting up two officers to take custody of them at that time."
Chief Saarsgard nodded then growled. "Aye Captain."
(Reply: Keung Lee, McTaggard)
Sekal's eyes then took in his command team. "Vedek Jael is not to leave
this ship until she is properly interrogated. The delays and obfuscation of
her legal counsel will not change that fact. Only after her interrogation
is complete and the vial has been examined as per my instructions will she
be remanded into Bajoran custody. Any attempts to force her off the ship
are to be directed to me."
(Reply: Sienna, Carson)
That done he nodded. "Those are your orders. Dismissed."

Quinna remained quieter than normal. She felt a bit out of the loop,
however, she was the one that did not keep in contact with the others,

"Keep me informed of Ensign Taya's condition and if Kai Hetel awakens

Mission: The Root of Decay
Day 20
Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 10 ? Main Shuttlebay Ensign Vic ?Raid? Montero ? 1200)
As Montero exited ?his? shuttle, the Katherine Johnson, he was startled
as Bebe slapped a PADD into his chest.
?Took you long enough Raid,? Sheridan said.?Got some orders, and your
wish.We?re to take the Hillary out for a shakedown.?
Montero looked at the PADD, ?This should be fun.You up to some SCM
Gunsmoke??
?You know it Raid.It?s soup to nut?s test, from startup to shut
down.Hoping the Chief and fenagle some targets for us to shoot at, but
we are in orbit, so that?s less likely.?
The two headed to the locker room, each changing into their flight
suits, before heading over to the Hillary.
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 10 ? Main Shuttlebay Ensign Vic ?Raid? Montero ? 1220)
After entering his clearance code, the door opened and the two pilots
walked inside the Aerowing.Whistling low, ?Its much nicer than the
simulation.Computer, recognize Montero, Vic.Security code Bulldog 2339.?
Bebe followed suit, ?Computer, recognize Sheridan, Bebe.Security code
Wingate lambda 12.?
[Computer recognizes Ensign Vic Montero and Ensign Bebe Sheridan]
The two headed up to the pilot?s cabin.While the ship could be piloted
by a single person, there was room for a crew of 6, which could be quite
useful depending on the mission.
Taking the pilot?s seat and Sheridan took the copilots seat.?Computer
begin startup checklist.?Montero said.
[Acknowledged.Starting up warp core.Be advised this will take 15 minutes
to complete initiation.]
?Cold start indeed there Gunsmoke, seems we have time for our own
checklists.?
The two officers settled down to work, checking off each item on the
startup checklist.Unlike the shuttlecraft, this system had a bit more
work to it.Of course, there was an emergency startup procedure, but that
was for another day.
(USS Illuminar ? USS Edmund Hillary - Ensign Vic ?Raid? Montero ? 1250)
?Warp core is online, Raid,? his copilot called out.
?Copy that Gunsmoke.Calibration of navigation systems complete.?
?Sensors are online.Weapons systems are online.Defensive systems active.?
?Initiating navigational systems.Loading system and ship information.?
?Looks like we are ready there Gunsmoke.Let?s buckle up and ride the
bronco.?
?Will you ever let go of the Cowboy references??
?Never.It?s part of my charm.?
The two pilots fastened their five-point harnesses.
=^= USS Hillary to Flight Control.Permission to depart. =^=
=^= Hillary this is flight control.Permission granted.Bring it back
clean and in one piece. =^=
=^= Hillary acknowledges.=^=
=^= Hillary, this is flight control.Docking clamps released.Happy
Hunting Raid. =^=
Montero activated the maneuvering thrusters, maneuvering the Hillary
away from, and above the Illuminar.
(USS Edmund Hillary - Ensign Vic ?Raid? Montero ? 1300)
?All systems nominal, Raid.Everything is within parameter,? Gunsmoke said.
?Excellent, let?s see how well she maneuvers,? he replied.
?Navigation shows empty space along vector 90 by 65,? Gunsmoke called.
?Copy, setting my course to 90 by 65.Impulse to 0.4.?
Montero took the ship to 0.4, ?Hold on Gunsmoke, time for some maneuvers.?
Taking control back from the nav computer, Montero started a series of
maneuvers to test how well the Hillary responded.Barrel rolls, inside
circles, rapid direction changes.
?Gunsmoke, this ship is as maneuverable as in the simulation.Better
even,? he said as he pulled rapid reverse.
?Raid, a Crazy Ivan?Seriously.?
?Got to get the feel.I?m beginning to fall in love.Sure, my fighter is
still my first love, but this might be in line to be my mistress.?
?You are certifiable Raid.?
?You know it, Gunsmoke.?
?Scan Bajor, see where there is some open space.We?re going to skip.?
?You heard control, no breaking the Hillary,? Bebe cautioned.
?Won?t happen.Unless the Engineers and Construction made shoddy welds.?
?Over the southern continent.Plenty of open space.?
Montero took the coordinates and piloted the Hillary to the area. ?This
looks as good as any.I?m going for three skips, and with the third,
we?ll loop and corkscrew to course,? he looked at his calculations, ?90
by 180.?
Bebe looked at the calculations, ?Copy your calculations are correct.You
really sure??
(USS Edmund Hillary - Ensign Vic ?Raid? Montero ? 1400)
?Starting run now?? Montero called out as he beganhis rapid descent
toward the Bajoran atmosphere.

approaching him. ?Sir, where do you want me to setup? I?m not a
metallurgist, but I am pretty good at particle physics. I started running
some simulations on the data at hand already, but it?ll need better input

ILLUMINARRPG: (20, 1230) Counselor Alaya Ravenstone
From: kelesiadesign at gmail.com (Melinda Gatling)
Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2020 00:38:23 -0500
Mission: The root of decay
Day 20
Stardate: 2445.08.20
(USS Illuminar -- Counseling Suite - Counselor Alaya Ravenstone -- 1230)
After the senior officer meeting that she had to run to, Alaya had returned
to her office in the Counseling Suite, and sat behind her desk. She had
seen Sienna and it had occurred to her that Sy needed a great deal more
help than Alaya was capable of providing. Sienna and Alaya had many long
talks, most of them unofficial since Sienna was afraid that she would lose
her place in command if the higher ups knew how she was truly doing. Alaya
had made sure that her notes were as kind as possible, but the meeting made
it very clear that something was more seriously wrong, and it was not just
Q's psychic abilities or the first deaths under her command. Those were
difficult of course, and it was something that all command officers had to
work through in their own time, and Alaya would of course recommend
official counseling for Sienna, perhaps when they reached Mars so that she
would feel easier talking to someone who wasn't on the ship. Maybe she
could enlist the Exeter's Counselor since Sienna did not know her.
No, Alaya could see the pain that Sienna was dealing with, and it was not
getting easier with time and distance. She needed to make a call, and it
was one that she had been debating doing for the last month or so. She had
hoped that she would not have to place this call, but her friend and
colleague needed assistance.
But first she wanted her partner, so she hit her comm badge, "Counselor
Ravenstone to Officer Hammons. Would you be interested in having lunch with
me before the interrogation this afternoon? In my office, alone?"
(reply Hammons)
After her quick conversation with Hammons, Alaya spoke quietly to the
computer, "Computer, sent a message to Betazed, High Priest Dr. Riven Mias
at the Temple of the Goddess." She waited for the computer to chirp in
acknowledgment and looked into the view screen.
"Hey Riven. I know I was supposed to call when I got to Mars but I've been
on the go since arriving. One of my colleagues has a problem that I need
some help with. She is a twin, of mixed human and betazoid parentage. Her
parents are both Starfleet admirals and before being assigned to the
Illuminar, she and her twin had never been seperated a day in their lives.
Her twin was assigned as the CO of the other new ship, the Exeter. As far
as I can tell, she is beginning to adjust to the absence of him, even
though she had severe issues when it first happened. The bond between them
is pretty deep, as such things go. Of the two, she is more Betazoid than he
is - he seems to resent his heritage from what I understand. He recently
married. The problem is that she has a one-sided Imzadi bond with her
Imzadi, who is now her twin's first officer. The woman is part human and
part bajoran and the three had been friends their entire lives - they
basically grew up together on Earth. "
Alaya rubbed her face with one hand, trying to keep the worry out of her
voice. "Her twin recently married the woman's half sister or some such.
Sienna has been having issues since then - she received permission to leave
Mars for the ship several months early because of the breakup with her
Imzadi and the marriage of her twin. The seperation from her twin seemed to
help, but she has told me repeatedly that nothing is helping with the
breaking of the bond with her Imzadi. She is in constant pain and rarely
sleeping without drugs, which is not acceptable for a First Officer. She's
stressed and worried that if anyone finds out about the strain that she
will lose her position. Our Vulcan Captain is not unobservant and is giving
her space to work through the issues so long as they do not affect her
performance, and I think they are beginning to do so. The Illuminar will be
doing a brief R&R at DS9 then will head back to Mars base and Utopia
Planetia. I will do my best to get you approximate dates and times if you
think that you could meet us either at DS9 or Earth."
Alaya wasn't sure what else to say to the man who had been her teacher and
mentor and in many ways was more a father to her than her adopted human
father was. "Or maybe if not you, one of the other mind healers from the
Temple. We have rescued Admiral Winters' friend, Luma'lenai and I think
that the Betazoid government would agree to the two of you coming aboard to
learn more of her history with the colonists that ultimately seeded Betazed
eons ago. Maybe that could be the official reason? Riven, please come.
She's my friend and she's hurting terribly. I'm not the mind healer that
you are - I'm just a diplomat. She's getting worse and I'm worried that
when the ships meet up again that any progress that she's made will be
rendered moot. There are other issues at play, but not anything that I want
to go into on an open frequency. Please get back to me when you can, to
tell me if you can come, or if you have other advice, anything that could
help. I'm the second strongest telepath aboard, outside of Luma's bondmate
and I don't know that Vex Jordaan knows anything about helping. Luma
suggested that we send for a mind healer when I asked her." Again Alaya
rubbed her left eye, which was dry and itching.
"In other news, I'm going to be married soon and it would please me if you
could officiate the ceremony in traditional Betazoid style. My partner is a
human security officer. You were right when you told a teenage me that when
the right one came along, that he would accept me for who and what I am.
Give my love to Michaella. I miss you and I really hope to see you soon."
She waved and tapped something on her desk, "Computer, save message and
send to Betazed - encrypted for Dr. Mias' eyes only - authorization AR
7762."
The computer chirped again and Alaya put her head in her hands and just
rested her aching eyes. For better or for worse, it was done. She hoped
that Riven could come and assist Sienna and she prayed to the Goddess they
both worshipped that she had not done her dear friend a disservice in
calling on the most gifted mind-healer in the last several hundred years.
Riven would come. He had to. If he didn't, she was going to have to go to
Quinna and they would need to relieve Sienna of duty and neither of them
would want to do that. For now though... Alaya tapped her comm badge,
"Counselor Ravenstone to Dr. Solice. Quinna, can you pop by my office in
about an hour or so? I need to talk to you about something confidentially."
(reply Hammons, Solice & Dr. Mias)

ILLUMINARRPG: (20-1235)-- Doctor Riven Mias
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2020 03:56:56 -0500
NRPG: You will note a discrepancy between the posted time and the
descriptions of the time of day on Betazed. The reason? To keep within the
posted timeline on the ship and not confuse the compile.
Also Riven was not originally my character so claims as to his prowess
didn't originate from me. *Cough* Melinda *Cough*
He became a part of me though.
Stardate on this post is correct.
RPG:
Mission: The root of decay
Day 20
Stardate: 2445.09.20
(Betazed -- Temple of the Goddess- Garden- Doctor Riven Mias-- 1235)
He looked about and smiled as he walked past the blooms of purple hued gela
irises. The perfume of the flowers was often compared by outworlders to a
cross between mint and jasmine. It was sweet as it hit the nose but as he
inhaled it the odor tickled his sinuses with a light, almost ephemeral
spice. The morning was cool as the sun had not yet cleared the short, domed
outlying buildings on the grounds that were used for personal reflection.
A gong sounded with sharp tones which descended to rounded reverberations
before dying off. It was repeated every two seconds for a full minute as
one of the acolytes blessed the beginning of the sun-kissed morning. Since
his last outing serving aboard a Starfleet vessel the high priests had
returned him over time to active duty. It was a field in which he had few
peers if any. He had been born to it as surely as the sun rose and set over
the lush temple grounds.
Blessed by the goddess with both telepathic prowess and empathic ability
that reached beyond ordinary bounds he had dedicated himself early in life
to reaching into scarred psyches and soothing the pain, mending damaged
minds and bringing peace where there was once tumult. A mind healer he was
and is along with his other duty upon which he was sometimes called. At
times the Federation needed another kind of troubleshooter and his
superiors did not quibble with this. Not like they had when he had been
gone for long periods quenching his thirst to see new worlds and experience
their splendor.
That new duty gave him a taste without the long absence and made use of his
considerable talents.
He had stopped at the beginning of the invocation and began walking again
as it ended. He had no appointments today so was meandering slowly on a
long route toward the main building where he would go the the meditation
chamber for prayers before moving to his healing chamber. If no one came he
would spend time in reflection with frequent visits to other parts of the
temple during the day.
It was a short time later that he got the call.
=^= Doctor Mias a transmission just arrived for you. You can access it in
your chamber. =^=
His voice had a gravely lilt in its undertone which some found mesmerizing.
"Thank you. Doreas. I am close now. Expect me shortly."
He picked up the pace. For a man who was past sixty he moved well as he
chose a more direct route. ETA three minutes.
(Betazed -- Temple of the Goddess -Healing chamber office-- Doctor Riven
Mias-- 1245)
He sat down at the desk and began the message.
=^=Hey Riven. I know I was supposed to call when I got to Mars but I've
been on the go since arriving.=^=
He smiled at the voice of one of his recent pupils. Alaya had been a
delight and was very close both to himself and Michaela. It was good to
hear from her... finally.
The news she brought wasn't good, at least not the first part of it. Either
of the two issues could be debilitating to anyone though the familial bond
could and did seem to be fading with time.
But a broken Imzadi bond was excruciating. Her suffering was too terrible
to allow and that she had made it this long as a command officer? That
couldn't continue and could easily swallow up not only her career but more
importantly her sanity.
That decision was easily made. He called up the high priestess.
"Decessa I have just been informed of an emergency situation by one of my
former pupils. It will require travel off planet, possibly to Earth. Do I
have your permission?"
Her face held grave concern. =^=What is the issue?=^=
"A broken imzadi bond."
=^= Can that one not come to Betazed?=^=
"She is a command officer in Starfleet. One must accommodate oneself to
their orders."
=^= How well I remember.=^= The tone of her voice spoke volumes.
He smiled then knowing he had a trump he hadn't shown yet. "Also my pupil
is being mated and wishes me to conduct a full ceremony."
Her face lit up instantly and she spoke in a scolding tone. =^=Riven why
didn't you say so in the first place? You did that deliberately didn't
you?=^=
He laughed. "Of course I did."
=^= Of course you may leave. I would have capitulated on the patient
eventually anyway even though we try to avoid going off plsnet when
possible. I really have to at least make an effort to enforce that you
know.=^=
"Yes I know."
=^= When will you be leaving? =^=
"Tonight. Michaella and I will need a fast ship."
She consulted her terminal for a moment. =^=There is a ship leaving for
sector 001 tonight, Mars. I'll have you both on it and send you the
details.=^=
"Thank you Decessa."
=^=One other thing Riven, I received a communique last night from the
diplomatic corps requesting your involvement. You are much in demand at the
moment. It's their ship that you will be leaving on.=^=
He huffed. "It looks like I wasn't the only one holding something back."
Then he smiled.
=^= I know how devious you are Doctor Mias and it feels good to trip you up
every now and then. Give my regards to Michaela. I expect you will be
unavailable for a while but please keep me informed.=^=
"I will Decessa, I always do."
=^= Recently.=^= She added then smiled before signing off.
Riven sent Alaya a message that he would be meeting her ship at Mars along
with his delight at performing her bonding ceremony before bounding from
the room. There was going to be a lot to do.

From: dieter.gregory1701 at gmail.com (Dieter Gregory)
Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2020 22:18:20 -0400
Mission: The Root of Decay
Day 20
Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 5 ? Sick Bay ? Security PO3 Devers ? 13:00)
Standing post was a necessary evil.And with such an important person,
the Captain had to take no chances.Even though he knew most of the
nurses, he followed protocol to confirm their identity before they
entered the isolation unit.
Boyles was the perfect companion.No chit-chat while on duty.Eyes moving
around, checking for threats.It was hard when you were on your own ship,
but this is why they trained and practiced.
He did wonder if Hammons got anything else out of those two thugs.Those
two attacked the Captain and Counselor.Devers hoped that the one who?s
arm he broke on Bajor was still in pain, knowing full well that the
medical staff had treated him upon arrival.
The main sickbay doors opened.Lannis and Alex Laurens, his sparring
partner, entered.
?Hey there Devers,? Lannis said, ?We?re here to relieve you both.Go get
some lunch and check in with the Chief.?
?Sure thing Lannis,?Devers replied, ?Computer acknowledge Security
Officers Lannis and Laurens are relieving Devers and Boyles.?
[Acknowledged]
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 6 ? Crew Mess ? Security PO3 Devers ? 13:15)
Devers entered the crew mess, which was pretty quiet with everything
going on.He grabbed his meal, today from his home town - Marmite
Dieppoise, a simple salad and fresh crusty bread.The only thing missing
was a glass of wine.
Off to a corner table, he sat down and pulled up the latest on the
interrogation.Sadly they were at a dead end.
He ate in silence as a few more crew came in to grab lunch.
Finishing his meal, he headed down to security to see if there was
anything the Chief needed.
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 14 ? Security ? Security PO3 Devers ? 14:00)
Devers entered the conference room, and pulled up the footage of the two
prisoners in the brig. Grabbing a coffee, he stared at their images for
a bit before beginning some research.
?Computer, please download Bajoran law to my PADD.In particular codes
around murder, sedition and treason.?
[Acknowledged. Requested information downloaded.]
Within moments, the information was on his screen.Taking a second PADD,
he began to make notes as to the requirements for guilt and penalties
that would be imposed. This would take a while. Perhaps there was
something there that he could use to break those two.? Get some honest
answers.

Jaton was working on compiling the proposals he and the team had proposed
so far, just to keep on top of it for whenever they might be able to get
through to the Vedek Assembly. He also was tacitly listening to Gregory's
progress as he was working.
[The correlation is now 97.32%]
?That?s close enough for Star Fleet,? Gregory said.
Turning around in his chair, ?Lieutenant Alyl, I think we have a problem.?
Jaton turned around and walked over to Gregory's station, looking over his
shoulder at the data on the screen. "What have we got?"
(reply Gregory)
Jaton frowned. "That's definitely not good." He tapped his commbadge.

?Sir, look at the cone the particles are forming.Does that remind you of
anything??
(Reply Alyl)
?Exactly Sir, it is almost a prototypical Morris-Thorne wormhole. Right
now, it is not complete, as the wave particle functions are not
following the Fluctuation-Dissipation theory.However, when we plot the
residuals and correct to balance the equations, this is what we get.?
Gregory adjusted the display to show a fully formed wormhole, centered
on the hall of the Orbs with the egress showing up in a different
quantum reality.
?Should this come to fruition, the amount of energy released would be
enough to destroy Bajor and most of the system, and who knows how it
would interact with the Wormhole.We only have theoretical calculations
for that, and I for one, don?t want to be part of the actual experiment.?
?If that is not scary enough, I did a more detailed scan of the
particles.They do not match this quantum reality.So whatever is
happening in the hall of the Orbs, whatever is causing the casing to
decay after thousands of years, is not from this quantum reality.And,
Sir, I think it?s trying to go home.?
Gregory watched as Jaton frowned. ?That's definitely not good."

him called for desperate measures.
=^= Ensign Matrix, please report to the bridge urgently =^=
(Reply Matrix)
A notice flashed on his screen.Tapping the controls, he looked at the
data.Pretty sure the day was going to get worse, rather than better.
?Captain, we have a big problem.?

?I?ve entered the reading that Lieutenant Alyl and his team took when
they were scanning the orbs.We need to get a team back down there for a

sensors.We need to have a team on the ground, and we?ll need to adjust
the scanner bands on the tricorders to measure the quantum reality shift.?
(Reply Sekal)
?No sir, we don?t generally scan for quantum reality shifts.I only
initiated a scan as that was the only way to make the equations work out
correctly.The tricorder by itself will not be able to measure at that
level.We?ll need to connect multiple ones together and concentration the
specific frequencies identified.That will let us properly triangulate,
what specific items are causing this.?
(Reply Sekal, any)
?I don?t know if I can answer that as particles are my thing.I can

Day: 20
Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 1 ? Bridge ? CO? Lieutenant Commander Sekal- 13:36)
?Captain, we have a big problem.?
Sekal saw the Ensign look over his shoulder and moved toward him. "Report
Mister Gregory."
?I?ve entered the reading that Lieutenant Alyl and his team took when they
were scanning the orbs. We need to get a team back down there for a closer
inspection, something in that hall is responsible for the quantum reality
flux and it?s not something I can easily pinpoint with our sensors. We
need to have a team on the ground, and we?ll need to adjust the scanner
bands on the tricorders to measure the quantum reality shift.?
"You are theorizing a quantum displacement? Based on what data?" He
studied the board closely then with a few deft finger strokes adjusted the
sensor scans for variable phase shifts due to quantum irregularities to
alternate between passive and reactive. This caused a sensor 'pulse' at
millisecond intervals that would cause little loss in 'real time data'
while allowing for the possibility of predictive models to test the theory.
While the computer adjusted and began the new model he turned his attention
back to the Ensign.
"Returning personnel to the vicinity of the orbs would be extremely
hazardous and the equipment is not generally rated for such a scan. It
would take specialized scanners to pick up such a phase displacement."
?No sir, we don?t generally scan for quantum reality shifts. I only
initiated a scan as that was the only way to make the equations work out
correctly. The tricorder by itself will not be able to measure at that
level. We?ll need to connect multiple ones together and concentration the
specific frequencies identified. That will let us properly triangulate,
what specific items are causing this.?
"That would be a possibility however rather than risk the personnel I will
have the Bajoran science ministry set up remote scanners outside the temple
and tie their scans to our own sensor input. Are you theorizing a
degradation of the casing itself around the orbs or a loss of protective
field strength?"
?I don?t know if I can answer that as particles are my thing. I can
speculate that if the particles are being attenuated by something in the
orb casings, that could, possibly, be the cause of what we are
seeing. After all, for all the research we?ve done on the Orbs, we don?t
know a lot. And Bajor continues to keep their information out of Star
Fleet hands. We could try to hack in to access??
"Negative. Hacking the Bajoran archives would be a direct violation of
planetary sovereignty. Based on your current working theory I will request
access to the information. Do you have a working deadline for a possible
catastrophic loss of containment?"
?What I can tell you is that if we don?t identify the source of these
particles, by my calculations, and these are so very rough again not
knowing how much power the other orbs could contribute, we have less than
24 hours before this goes critical.?
Sekal straightened and nodded as he looked at the golden field undulating
ever so slightly on the viewscreen. The Republic was due shortly and would
have to be warned to avoid it. If Ensign Gregory was correct the future of
Bajor was grim even beyond what had formerly been understood.
"Continue your efforts. I will contact Bajor immediately, perhaps your
conclusions will spur them to be forthcoming with the necessary data."

?Reporting as requested Ensign,? the man said.
?Thank you, Ensign Matrix.You were the only one free I could find on the

Gregory paused, ?On the main screen is a cone of particles, and based on

need to apply a quantum reality shift to balance the equation. When the

know that the cases that hold the Orbs of the Prophets are decaying, and
it appears that the formation of this nascent wormhole is centered on

He pulled up additional data on his terminal, ?My calculations suggest

between the different quantum realities.?
?Science is working on some theories now, but we need a way to pinpoint
the source that is causing this vortex formation, without getting to
close to the Hall of the Orbs.The Captain was going to see if Bajor
would setup remote scanners to help triangulate the problem, but that

?Sir, Ensign Matrix has recommended we launch three class IV probes to help
extend our sensor range and try to triangulate the source and give us more
information. I concur. It will require Bajor clearance, if you would like
me to work securing that. ?
Jaton nodded. "As do I. I would also recommend that we ask permission to
send a drone into the reliquary to see what effects the energy field is
having on the orbs and vice versa."

Mission: The Root of Decay
Day 20
Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Edmund Hillary - Ensign Vic ?Raid? Montero ? 1400)
?Starting run now?? Montero called out as he began his rapid descent
toward the Bajoran atmosphere.
?Gunsmoke, set the lower shields to maximum.I?ll coming in with a
20-degree angle of attack, speed at 0.4.It might get a bit warm in
here,? Montero said.
?Aye, shield at maximum, angled for the 20 degree AOA,? Bebe replied.
?Atmospheric contact in 10?? Montero started counting down.?2 ? 1??
The Aerowing hit the curve of the atmosphere at a 20 degree angle.The
ship started to vibrate as it interacted with the thinned atmosphere,
before shooting off into space again.?Woo-hoo, ride that bronc,? he said
as he stabilized the ship.
?Shields at 95 percent and holding,? Bebe said, ?Recalibrating for next
impact.?
Montero kept his eyes on the controls, ?Second skip coming now,? he said
as the Aerowing hit the atmosphere again, shaking a bit more than the
first time, before returning to space.?Ain?t this just Ace-high.Prepare
for the final skip and altitude change.?
?Copy that, Shields are holding,? Bebe said, ?All systems till
nominal.We?re getting hailed by Bajoran command.?
?USS Hillary, what the hell are you doing?? came the voice over the comm
channel.
?Not now control, a bit busy,? Montaro replied as they entered the third
skip.Hands on the controls, the Hillary bounced off the atmosphere. As
it returned to space, Montero increased speed and brought the ship into
a upward loop.With the ship ?upside down? he performed a corkscrew
maneuver before straightening out on the new course.
?Hillary, please respond,? came the voice.
?This is the Hillary, everything is copacetic here Bajor.We?re just
finishing some emergency test maneuvers here.Nothing to see, nothing to
worry about,? Montero replied.
?We were not notified of these maneuvers Hillary. We expect a full
report,? Bajor replied.
?Copy that, Hillary out.?Montero replied, cutting the channel.
?You?re going to get it Raid,? Bebe said.
?I?m sure the Captain will understand the need to make these tests.Its
Flight control I?m more concerned about.?
?I?m bringing the ship back in one piece and scratch free.The data we
just generated will help us plan for different insertion angles
depending on the mission,? Montero replied.?Make sure all of it is
uploaded for analysis.?
?Always Raid,? Bebe replied.
?Do you mind?? she asked.
?Of course not.Computer Bebe Sheridan has control.?
[Confirmed. Pilot controls turned over to Copilot.]
?Let see what you can do,? Montero said as he took over the co-pilot
functions.

Hercules tapped his comm badge.=^= Ensign Lee, PO3 Devers here. Can you
please come to the Security conference room.=^=
(Reply Lee)
=^= It is a bit urgent, Sir.It is in regard to our prisoners. =^=
As Devers waited for Lee to enter.He had an idea or two, not quite ready
to bring to the chief, but needed someone with more experience, more
training to bounce it off of.While he listened ? well half listened ? in
the enlisted courses on the law, he knew that officers had more
experience and training in that area.He also didn?t think it was time to
get the JAG officer, whoever that was on the Illuminar, yet.
As the door opened, Devers stood up.?Hello Sir, thank you for coming.I
wanted to run an idea by you.I have looked through the appropriate laws
in Bajor and the Federation rules and think we could do this.?
?I?d propose we go in and tell each of them that we transmitted their
information and what they told us through an open channel and how they
were very cooperative and collaborated each other?s stories.We could
further embellish by saying that the Vedek council wanted them to
testify in the death of the Kai.The hope would be they might ask for
federation protection, as I?m pretty sure whoever bankrolled them would
make sure they didn?t live to testify.?
?Is that legal Sir??

[Confirmed.Control returned to Pilot]
Vic took the controls, ?let?s go back before they miss us.Or Bajor files

?Too late for that Raid.I see a report in the flight logs already.?
?Well then, it is what it is.Time to RTB.?
Vic set in the course and the two worked in silence as they approached
the USS Illuminar.?It is a beautiful ship,? he said.?I do worry if we
are on ground ops again the lack of active air cover, or even a ready 5
cover.In space, the ship is powerful, on the ground, it?s a sitting duck.?
?Tell the Lieutenant,? Bebe challenged.
?I am not in the best graces with Star Fleet, so not sure if the
Lieutenant would actually listen to me.Depends on what he has heard, and
who?s reports he?s reading,? Montaro replied.
?Am I ever going to hear the stories of why you?re an Ensign at your
age, and with your skills??
?Only on the second Tuesday of the week.?Fraid it?s a bit complicated

a solid multitasking environment at times.

(USS Hillary Pilot Vic ?Raid? Montero ? 1435)
?Flyby is cleared Hillary.Keep it sharp,? came Grey Wolf?s response.
Bebe looked at Vic, ?I can?t belive she gave you permission.You better
not screw up.?
?Focus Gunsmoke.Scan the Illuminar, plot vectors based on sensor reading
for the ships shields and gravity well.We?re going to take an approach
and use it to slingshot us towards the southern pole. ?
Bebe started running the numbers, ?Got it Raid, loading the trajectory.?
?Excellent Gunsmoke,? he said as he examined the approach and
conditions.?It?s going to be tight.?
?Threading the needle Raid,? she replied.
?All in a day?s work.Drinks are on me tonight,? Raid said as he looked
over the flight trajectories one more time. Sure, a computer could do
this, but typically aborted the run as the two ships got too close for
regulations.
He opened a channel, ?Acknowledged Illuminar.Initiating flyby now.?
?Once more into the breach dear Gunsmoke, once more,? Montero said as he
adjusted his course and started the run.
Accelerating to 0.4, he pointed the Hillary at the sweet spot identified
by their calculations, just below the bridge, he would come at an angle
of attack of 37 degrees, and the forces there would pop the ship out at
307 degrees relative, and increase the speed of the ship to 0.5.
With laser focus, Vic kept the horizon set with the angle of
attach.?Match lower shields to the AOA, divert all power to the lower
shields.?
?Copy,? came Bebe?s response.
[Warning, imminent crash in 5000 meters]
?Stay on target,? Bebe said in encouragement.
Vic made a few minor adjustments, and adjusted the speed.?We are
matched, get ready to ride the wave.?
[Warning, imminent crash in 1000 meters]
?Computer turn off crash warning.?
[Unable to comply.Crash in 500 meters]
Vic?s eyes swept the control panels, everything was in order.
[Crash in 5 ? 4 ? 3 ? 2]
The lower shield encountered the gravity well of the ship, and lurched
to change angles, now heading away from the Illuminar.
?Course is 307 relative, Speed at 0.5, he said with glee.?We did it
Gunsmoke.?
?Scared the hell out of me Raid, lets not do that again.?Bebe said.
?Never know when it?ll come in handy.I used that move in the battle of
Earth ?? Vic?s face turned white as his voice dropped off.

Shaking his head, he opened a channel.?Hillary to Illuminar.Test flight

Mission: The Root of Decay
Day 20
Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 14 ? Security ? Security Officer Ensign Keung Lee ? 14:45)
Keung had left the conference meeting with the sense that he was the only person in the room who was not suffering from the traumatic effects of the circumstances on Bajor. He had sat next to Penny McTaggard who hardly said anything to him or contributed anything in the meeting. She was quiet and he could sense a feeling of bad vibes emulating from her. The thought had come to Keung..pstd symptoms!
He was in the turbolift with the idea of returning to his quarters for a while/
"Counselor Ravenstone to Ensign Keung Lee. Ensign Lee where are you and are you well?"
Keung pressed his comm badge. ?I?m in turbo lift 5?I am well. Why?? asked a puzzled Keung.
"Please refrain from entering your shared quarters until I give you permission. Thank you."
?Copy that.? Replied Keung. He wondered why? Was it anything to do with Penny? Whatever the reason, it wasn?t his concern. But shouldn?t the counselor involved with the interrogation session? He decided to go to the Holosuite for a while
?Ensign Lee, PO3 Devers here. Can you please come to the Security conference room?
?Can it wait, Mr Devers?? said Keung, feeling slightly miff.
?It is a bit urgent, Sir. It is in regard to our prisoners?
?I?m on my way.? Said Keung ?Deck 14.? He told the computer. Perhaps Devers have made some headway
Keung entered the Security Conference Room to see Devers sitting in front of the table reading from his PADD. He was alone?so where was that counselor? Devers stood to attention and Keung noticed this time he saluted.
?Hello Sir, thank you for coming. I wanted to run an idea by you. I have looked through the appropriate laws in Bajor and the Federation rules and think we could do this.?
?I?d propose we go in and tell each of them that we transmitted their information and what they told us through an open channel and how they were very cooperative and collaborated each other?s stories. We could further embellish by saying that the Vedek council wanted them to testify in the death of the Kai. The hope would be they might ask for federation protection, as I?m pretty sure whoever bankrolled them would make sure they didn?t live to testify.?
?Is that legal Sir??
We! Thought Keung. He had listened to Dever?s plan with some interest. That was the oldest trick in the book and it just might work. .
?Well Mr Devers.? Mused Keung as he rubbed his chin. He knew nothing about Bajor law and he was pretty sure that Federation rules would talk about fairness issues ?I?m not in a position tell you if its legal or not. You will have to seek the advice of the legal department. Remember we not law enforcement officers.? Pointed out Keung, deliberately avoiding the word ?we? From what I know. There is a limit to using deceptive interrogation practices. If you went ahead with your suggestion, that could be described as force cohesion. Do not forget there are cameras filming this. There is also an ethical issue here. Despite who they claim to be. they are life beings with rights! Plus putting their families in danger isn?t right. As for federation protection, it is not up to you or me to decide about that. Have you and Counselor made any progress so far?. Why isn?t the counselor here anyway??

=^=Hillary to Illuminar. Test flight complete we are returning to

She thumbed the reply button. "Permission granted. Aeroshuttle docking
sequence initiated."
That done she stood to her feet and motioned a relief officer over. As he
was sitting down she was already on her way to the turbolift.
(USS Illuminar- Deck 9- Aerowing shuttle dock- FSXO- Tempest GreyWolf ?
1453)
She watched from docking control as the tractor beam pulled the smaller
ship up into place, merging it seamlessly with the underside of the saucer
section. After it was secured the bay was pressurized. The entire process
only took a couple of minutes.
When the hatch doors opened she stepped out and moved to meet them.
(Reply: Montero)
Her face was unreadable as always when she stopped in front of them and
turned to the copilot. "Good work Sheridan. Take a break until your pilot
gets back then you can file your reports."
Her dark eyes then turned to "Raid". "Follow me Montero."
(Reply: Montero)
(USS Illuminar- Deck 10- Flight Control Operations Center- FSXO- Tempest

She had been silent since meeting the two except for directing the
turbolift. There were no shuttles active though they were on "hot" standby
and she was perfectly capable of manning the center. She spoke to the two
techs who were on duty as she and Montero walked through the door.
"Go to the officers lounge and get a cup of coffee. Be back in fifteen
minutes."
The two looked at her blankly until she jerked her thumb toward the door
then hurried out.
She then turned to Vic and motioned to a chair. "Have a seat. You and I are
overdue for a conversation."
(Reply: Montero)
She leaned against a console several feet away and crossed her arms. "I've
seen your record Montero. I'm well aware of how much experience you have

?Sir, I was not suggesting we actually transmit said information.I was
suggesting we tell them we did to see if they would provide more
information.They were directly involved in an attack on the Captain,
Councilor Ravenstone and Lieutenant Peters. I suspect they were also
involved in the attempt by Janus to blow up the temple, and the torture
of our Engineer.What life does our engineer have after what was done to
her? I?m not saying that we return to the dark ages with executions and
all, but there has to be a way to get more information out of them.?

Stardate: 2445.09.20
?(USS Illuminar- Deck 9- Aerowing shuttle dock- Pilot Vic Montero ? 1453)
Seeing Lieutenant Grey Wolf waiting at the shuttle hatch was
unexpected.Perhaps the Bajoran complaints were taking a life of their own.
?Howdy Lieutenant, what a pleasure to see you.I trust all is well??
Vic watched as Grey Wolf turned her attention to Gunsmoke.
"Good work Sheridan. Take a break until your pilot gets back then you
can file your reports."
?Thank you Ma?am,? Bebe replied and headed off, throwing a sideways
questioning glance at Vic.
The Lieutenant?s dark eyes turned to Vic, ?Follow me Montero.?
?Sure think Lieutenant,? he replied as they headed toward the turbolifts.
(USS Illuminar- Deck 10- Flight Control Operations Center- Pilot Vic
Montero ? 1500)
~Great, something must be up.~ Vic thought as Grey Wolf dismissed the
techs in the Flight Control Center.
Once they were gone, she motioned to Vic to take a chair. ?Have a seat.
You and I are overdue for a conversation.?
?Sure thing Lieutenant.What?s on your mind??
Grey Wolf leaned against a console, crossing her arms."I've seen your
record Montero. I'm well aware of how much experience you have and how
good you are. You're at least as good as I am and probably better. The
question I have is why? Why are you not commanding your own squadron?
What happened to sour you?"
~There it is, the elephant in the room~
?Well Ma?am, I appreciate you saying that.I?m a small craft pilot, not
sure I?d want your job of piloting ships of the line.A lot more riding
on your skills than when I?m flying a shuttle or fighter.?
Vic paused, wondering how to proceed.
?If you?ve read my file, I?m sure you?ve seen that I?ve been busted in
rank a few times for insubordination and failure to follow orders.I
believe there are some notes about arrogance and disregard for the chain
of command as well.?
?I?m not soured on anything except stupidity and timidity.?
Vic paused, deciding on his next course of action.
?Lieutenant, permission to speak freely??
(Reply Grey Wolf)
?Thank you, Ma?am.What my reports won?t tell you are the situations and
reasons behind those charges.I?ll also say I have some guardian angels
looking after me and my career.I?d admit I?m lucky that I haven?t been
bounced or had my flight status taken away.I?m also not one to chase
glory or command.You get too high in rank and the real flying is taking
away from you while you sit behind a desk and figure out how many flight
hours of training you can authorize, how much food are your pilots
eating or what is the uniform budget. Nor do I want to have to write
letters to the families of pilots have have been lost.I?ve done that
already, and still have the nightmares.?
(Reply Grey Wolf, if you want)
?However, back to the matter at hand.You asked a fair question
Ma?am.Like I said, my file is a contradiction.Do you remember the peace
talks on Casperia Prime?My best friend and Wingman, Bulldog ? err?
Sheridan Smyth and I were tasked to support the Federation diplomats who
were negotiating the peace between the government and the insurgents. It
was Stardate 2439.07.21 and we were asked ? really told to fly the
diplomats to another round of armistice talks. The head of the
delegation insisted, over the strong objections of planetary security
and myself, to fly by one of the insurgents strongholds, which was
supposed to be disarmed based on previous negotiations.?
Vic paused as he remembered the carnage.The fire.Struggling to reach
Sheridan.His best friend dying in his arms.
?Sufficed to say, it was not disarmed.In fact, they had heavy weaponry,
and we took fire. Bulldog took the brunt of the fire.While he tried to
find a place to land, I took out the camp before speeding back to my
wingman.He was a hell of a pilot, Bulldog, and brought that shuttle
down, heavily damaged with an engine overloading.The diplomats got out
but left him trapped in a shuttle on fire.?
?He died in my arms,? Vic said softly.?It is then that I laid out the
chief diplomat.Which is, as you can imagine, not very career enhancing.?
?Once I recovered from my injuries I got pulling Bulldog to safety, I
was demoted and sent off on assignments where it was thought I could not
get into more trouble.I did stay out of trouble but had a few harrowing
adventures that helped me earn my pip back.But those are for another day.?
He paused and looked at Grey Wolf.?Where were you on 2443.09.11?? he asked
(Reply Grey Wolf)
?I had been invited to the Academy as a guest lecture on squadron
tactics to the senior class of pilots.We were out on maneuvers,
practicing some of the theory in space when the Attack occurred.?
?We were out gunned, out manned.Out numbers and out planned.Someone in
the intelligence division was asleep at the wheel Ma?am.That battle
didn?t have to happen, and I think everyone knows that.Millions of lives
were lost.Hell, they are still rebuilding parts of New York and London
and Rio because of that attack.?
He paused, ?I?m sorry Ma?am, I digress.?
?I was ordered to bring the cadet squadron back to base.We saw what we
were up against, and to the credit of those young women and men, they
decided with one voice to draw a line in the sand.I was proud, for those
few hours, to be leading them.They were the most brave, dedicated pilots
I had the honor of flying with.?
?In the end, they took out three heavy cruisers and slowed down the
attack to allow our ships of the line to stop that prong of the
attack.However, the cost was high, over 60% loss of pilot lives.I
accepted full responsibility for the insubordination and accepted my
demotion to Ensign.So here I am.?
He paused again, ?I don?t hunt medals, or rank or have a death wish,
contrary to what some of the reports from Counselor?s I have seen may
say. I am just not afraid to do what is needed to get the job done. I?ll
give you everything I can Ma?am.I?ll give my all to this ship, Captain
and Crew.That?s how I am, I?m all in.I just need to know that you?ll
listen to me when I express my concerns, that and don?t ask me to come
to any Diplomatic functions.I?m pretty sure I am persona non grata.?
?I hope that answers your question Ma?am.?

(USS Illuminar ? Deck 14 ? Security Officer Ensign Keung Lee 1500 hrs)
Keung listened to Devers explaining his rational
?Sir, I was not suggesting we actually transmit said information. I was suggesting we tell them we did to see if they would provide more information. They were directly involved in an attack on the Captain, Councilor Ravenstone and Lieutenant Peters. I suspect they were also involved in the attempt by Janus to blow up the temple, and the torture of our Engineer. What life does our engineer have after what was done to her? I?m not saying that we return to the dark ages with executions and all, but there has to be a way to get more information out of them.?
Devers paused, ?I have been in Sickbay, guarding the Kai, since PO Hammons came down. I returned here after being relieved of guard duty and having lunch. Thank you sir for your opinion. I will, as you suggest, reach out to the JAG corp and see if they can provide clarity.?
?Very good, Mr Devers. Contact JAG corp. Keep informed.?said Keung. ?We still need the counselor in play for this interrogation. It seems she occupied elsewhere. There?s nothing more we can do right now. We leave the interrogation for a couple of days. Let them stew in the brig for a while?build a sense of suspense. Perhaps create a false sense of security in them.?
(reply Devers)

ILLUMINARRPG: (20-1503)- FSXO- Lieutenant (jg) Tempest Grey Wolf

Mission: The Root of Decay

Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar- Deck 10- Flight Control Operations Center- FSXO-
Lieutenant (jg) Tempest Grey Wolf -1503
?Lieutenant, permission to speak freely??
She gave a sharp nod. "Go ahead."
?Thank you, Ma?am. What my reports won?t tell you are the situations and
reasons behind those charges. I?ll also say I have some guardian angels
looking after me and my career. I?d admit I?m lucky that I haven?t been
bounced or had my flight status taken away. I?m also not one to chase
glory or command. You get too high in rank and the real flying is taking
away from you while you sit behind a desk and figure out how many flight
hours of training you can authorize, how much food are your pilots eating
or what is the uniform budget. Nor do I want to have to write letters to
the families of pilots have have been lost. I?ve done that already, and
still have the nightmares.?
She suppressed a sigh and let him continue. Some were fit for the job and
those that weren't either failed or took themselves out. It happened a
number of ways. Some stepped down, transferred out or in this case went
into a death spiral. No one ever claimed commanding a squadron was an easy
job. In her case the decision had been made by her spirit guide. She was
focused and stone cold enough to do it and excel but the spirits had other
plans for her. Shuttles and work bees weren't a squadron but there were
always risks that could never be foreseen.
He paused and gave her a measuring look. ?Where were you on 2443.09.11??
he asked
Her mouth tightened before she spoke. "My squadron was on patrol near
starbase 3 when the terrorist bomb was detonated under San Francisco. We
heard the report after millions died from the shockwave that spread over
half the planet."
She didn't mention the friends she lost or the people from her tribe in
Oklahoma on the reservation who had been killed.
?I don?t hunt medals, or rank or have a death wish, contrary to what some
of the reports from Counselor?s I have seen may say. I am just not afraid
to do what is needed to get the job done. I?ll give you everything I can
Ma?am. I?ll give my all to this ship, Captain and Crew. That?s how I am,
I?m all in. I just need to know that you?ll listen to me when I express my
concerns, that and don?t ask me to come to any Diplomatic functions. I?m
pretty sure I am persona non grata.?
?I hope that answers your question Ma?am.?
She was silent for a second as she observed him, he appeared sincere and
his look was open, hopeful. She lowered her hands to the console.
"It does. I was squadron leader in a fighter wing before transferring to
the Illuminar and I will say this. Play straight with me and I'll be fair
with you. That means no more stunts like you pulled on the return from the
rescue mission, spinning the shuttle in the bay with high profile
passengers aboard."
(Reply: Montero)
"No." She held up a hand. "I didn't hear it from the Captain but word gets
around. He's as straightforward as you will find, if there had been a
complaint you would have heard it from him. Stick by the book and we won't
have any problems. Work off steam when you're flying or in the holodeck.
Shuttles aren't fighters but you've got the skill to make them sing. Keep
your skills sharp though. You never know when they may be of use."
(Reply: Montero)
Her face softened just a bit. "Why am I piloting a starship now and not a
fighter? A fair question and it's not because I can't or won't, I had other
reasons. I love flying fighters. Maybe someday I'll tell you why but not
now. You're dismissed Montero, file your EOF report and unwind for a bit."

Ensign Matrix - 1610)
Scott had been exiled from engineering for as long as he could remember.
In fact, he couldn't remember what the duty stations looked like, nor
his access code. Jefferies tubes, power conduit calibration and general
maintenance had filled his days and weeks past.
~Someone's got to do it~ he thought.
Rubbing his shoulder, Scott took a moment to rest against the bulkhead.
His wounds had all but healed, but he was still sore. He'd seen the
doctor only a few days ago and was assured all was well. Perhaps it was
just crawling around in the lower decks?
=^= Matrix to engineering. Section A09 has been completed. Calibration
shows working in normal parameters. I'm moving to section A12. =^=
(Reply engineering, IFW)
Scott gathered up his toolkit and pushed himself out into the adjoining
corridor. Finally able to stand he stretched and reviewed the duty PADD
before removing the access panel on A12.

She turned her eyes to Quinna. "A lot of people are bitter but they don't
hate the Federation. They want things to be as they were. Even the church
has been impacted as there is less funds to allocate to needed projects. I
can't tell you how good it is to see a Starfleet ship at Bajor, we have
seen very few here for a long time."
?I am glad that we are here. Bajor, despite its history, is a very
peaceful planet.?
"As for what I remember from before and my memory is very clear. I had just
consulted the orb of the emissary when I passed out. I awoke in my bed with
the physician nattering about over me." She gave a small smile. "It got
worse after that though, every day it seemed the weariness got worse until
it was grinding me down into the ground. I fought it until I couldn't fight
it any longer and was confined to my room and in and out of consciousness.
And then a long darkness for the most part until I woke up here."
?You were more affected than the others. The important thing is that you
are getting better.?
"So how are the others? Are they well?"
?The others are recovering and those in the hospital are due to go home to
their families soon.? Quinna wanted to tell the Kai that she was being
poisoned. She wanted to reveal the plot to not only take her position but
also her life, but Quinna knew the Captain had the whole story where Quinna
only had one part. Quinna needed to find something to talk about until the
Captain could join them, ?Can I ask you something??
(Reply Kai)
?How did you become Kai? Was it a dream as a child, or something?? Quinna
was not interested in the Kai?s story.

?The others are recovering and those in the hospital are due to go home to
their families soon.?
Quinna paused for sa moment. It was one of those expressive pauses that
spoke volumes.
?Can I ask you something??
"Of course." Krevi couldn't help but wonder what the doctor had been
avoiding as she changed the subject. She also wondered how long she needed
to go without food, the Kai was ravenous and the Kava juice was helping
only a little.
?How did you become Kai? Was it a dream as a child, or something??
Krevi took another drink before setting the mug down. "I don't know
actually and I've wondered since. The Prophets only know what was in the
cloister's mind when they picked me Quinna, it seems I often have to herd
them to do what needs to be done and Vedeks can be extremely stubborn."
"Did I ever dream of it as a child?" She shook her head. "No, I just wanted
to serve the Prophets. Did it ever occur to me it could happen? Of course
but I didn't spend much time considering it and to be honest I've never
liked political gamesmanship."
She thought over the road since traveled. "But i hope the people have
benefitted from it, that has always been my first concern."
She gave Quinna a long look. "You seem troubled. I recognize that look.
Your pagh is heavy. Sharing the burden lightens the mind."

reached for her blood extractor, ?Now that you are awake, I would like to
take a new blood sample to compare to the last one taken while at the
temple.

Suddenly the Door opened and the Captain entered. She knew it was time to
leave, ?Looks like some of your answers have just arrived. I will come

the blood sample and left the room. She nodded to the Captian as she slid
past him.

ILLUMINARRPG: (20 - 1700, 1800) Security PO3 Hercules Devers
From: dieter.gregory1701 at gmail.com (Dieter Gregory)
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2020 20:50:01 -0400
Mission: ?The Root of Decay
Day: ?20
Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 5 ? Holodeck 1 ? Security PO3 Hercules Devers ? 1700)
It had been a bust of a day so far.The two Bajorans were still not
really cooperating, and after he talked to the JAG officer, he was ready
to give up on thinking and ideas.Strike first. Strike hard.No mercy.Yet
the Captain had ordered the men taken prisoner for interrogation.
Devers needed to work some thinks out, and he had just the program.The
Octagon.
After changing in the gym, he stood outside the door to Holosuite 1
wearing nothing but a pair of black and red shorts and black open
fingered gloves.?Computer start program.?
[Acknowledged.Enter when ready.]
Devers entered the room, and as the door closed behind him.In the center
of the room was the Octagon.An 8-sided ring where the battle royal would
be held.Eleven other fighters, each with random skills and experience,
would be fighting to take over his title of King of the Mat.
The crowd cheered as Devers starting walking down the hall.?And here he
is ladies and gentlemen.A fighter that needs no introduction.Hailing
from Ver-ser-Mer, France, and weighing in at 235 pounds, and not a
single ounce of fat.Current Master of the mat and America?s favorite
fighting Frenchman, the one and only cr?ne broyeur.SKULLCRUSHER!!?
He entered the ring, the two tigers on his back staring menacingly at
those lined up to try to take his title.
He went to his area of the ring, checked in with his corner team.He
slipped his mouthpiece in as the announcer finished introducing his
first opponent.
The fight commenced.Ducking low, Devers lashed out with a powerful
uppercut, which landed solidly on his opponent, eliciting a grunt from
him.Spinning around, he jumped out of the way of a wild roundhouse
before following it up with a series of fast kicks to his opponents? knees.
His foe charged, trying to get Devers in a bear hug, but Devers held is
ground and at the last second launched an elbow to the man?s face, a
classic Paksa Waeg Rang.Between the moment of the elbow and the man?s
own inertia, his foe fell to the ground.
Devers returned back to his corner grabbing a drink as the medical staff
helped the man off the mat.
He tried to stay loose as the next opponent was introduced.The next
round began ...
?(USS Illuminar ? Deck 5 ? Holodeck 1 ? Security PO3 Hercules Devers ?
1758)
?Security to Deck 4, Officers Lounge? came the order through his com badge.
?Computer, End program.? Devers said, ?Arch.?
As the arch appeared, he tapped his badge ?Security this is Devers, I am
responding to the call to deck four.?
He reached the turbolift, ?Computer, security override, Devers Omega
Alpha 127.?
As he entered the turbolift car, ?Deck 4.?
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 4 ? Officers Lounge ? Security PO3 Hercules Devers
? 1800)
Devers ran down the hallway towards the Officers lounge.As he arrived,
he saw the Captain completing the take down of an officer.
Pausing before the Captain, sweating and still wearing only his fighting
trunks and open gloves, ?Devers reporting as ordered Sir.?
(Reply Sekal, any other security)

Mission: The Root of Decay
Day 20
Stardate 2445.08.20
(USS Illuminar, Deck 5- Isolation Ward - CO- Lt. Commander Sekal and Kai
Hetel Krevi- 1710)
Sekal nodded to the guards stationed at the door before making his way
inside. Pieces of the puzzle were falling into place but there were still
many blanks. He didn?t expect that Kai Hetel would be able to fill them in
but perhaps she could provide background information for a base upon which
it could be constructed.
Krevi was sitting up and drinking from a mug as he entered. She was still
somewhat pale though her skin had colored noticeably and she was sitting at
ease with the pillow at the small of her back and her upper back and
shoulders propped against the wall. Her brown hair was cascading in waves
down to her chest. The blanket and sheet covered her to the waist and she
was dressed in a modest gown.
She lowered the mug. "And you are?"
"Lieutenant Commander Sekal."
Her eyes opened wider. "The Captain?"
At his nod she set the mug on a small table to her left and colored as she
pulled the covers up higher.
"I'm so sorry that you have to see me like this."
"If you wish I can speak to you later."
"No, no." She was obviously embarrassed. "Thank you for the offer I'm just?
I'm a little out of sorts. The last thing I remember was being in my room
and now I'm here. It's taking some adjustment."
"Understandable." He said emotionlessly. "I had hoped to ask you some
questions if you are able."
"I'll answer them to the best of my ability." She had no idea what
questions he had but him standing perfectly still with his hands behind his
back as he looked down at her was intimidating. "Please have a seat."
He nodded then pulled over a chair and sat down, he had been waiting for
either an invitation or a request for privacy.
"What questions did you have for me? Am I in some kind of trouble?"
"Hardly." He answered. "I was hoping that you could enlighten me as to why
some in your organization wish to hasten your death."
Her face registered shock at his words and she forgot her embarrassment
instantly. Her left hand found the mug and she took a drink of the kava
juice as she processed the question. Lowering it again she replied.
"You can't be serious."
"But I am." His head tilted slightly as he watched her. "At least one
attempt was made on your life since you were incapacitated and the Vedek
Assembly placed an edict on your movement to force you to remain in the
temple to expire while citing an inane demand for either your miraculous
recovery? or your death."
Her hands began to tremble so she quickly returned the mug to the table.
"If they placed an edict on my movement then how did I end up here?"
He crossed his right leg over his left and sat back. "Traces of poison were
found in your system proving that your continued presence there constituted
undue risk. With evidence that a criminal act had been committed my
superiors gave me permission to extricate you."
She sucked in a deep breath and held it for a second before letting it out.
"Then I have you to thank for being here? and awake."
He shook his head. "Negative, the officers and crew of this ship went to
extraordinary lengths to see to your survival, most notably medical. If you
desire to offer thanks it would be logical to give it to them."
She nodded then sighed. "I don't know why someone would try to kill me but
I don't have many friends on the Vedek Assembly either. I'm actually
surprised I was made Kai to be honest and I do things my own way. Some
label me a progressive and blame it on my age. Others think I'm drunk on
power." She waved her hand at his questioning look.
"The Way of the Prophets is just like any other religion in some ways,
steeped in past traditions and resistant to change. The strictures are
adamant and can't evolve. Which is not that they change but they grow."
She frowned. "It's a religious trap rooted in humanity, this idea that
things are absolute. While they are eternal they are also living and apply
to every situation as it arises but not always in the same way. The
Prophets don't change in any way but situations that arise necessitate a
difference in approach."
"Two examples, the pagh wraiths are evil and determined to destroy anything
devoted to the prophets so they may supplant them. It's in their nature and
absolute."
"The other is the Oralian Way, Cardassians who turned to the worship of the
prophets. According to interpretation of the old strictures Cardassians
were evil, beastial and beyond redemption. It was only due to the efforts
of Vedek Yevir that they were recognized and accepted into the Way of the
Prophets despite the brutality of the occupation and their alien origin."
Sekal waited patiently as the highest ranked teacher of their religion on
Bajor continued to do what she excelled at. While most of the information
she was giving was not germane to his reason for being here it was
establishing a possible motive.
Krevi leaned forward a bit. "We now have a Cardassian Vedek, unthinkable
only a few generations ago and not entirely accepted by all but in another
few generations it will be commonplace and another part of routine."
"And your disputed policies?" He prodded to divert her narrative.
"A natural progression of course. More funding and teachers for the Oralian
Way, support for the society they are rebuilding since their planet was
decimated by the Dominion. Bringing Prylars to Bajor for further education
and training. A visit to Cardassia a few years ago." She threw up her
hands. "The Prophets only know the outcry I got when I announced that."
Sekal nodded. "I understand your election was unforeseen."
Krevi sighed and slumped back against the wall. "No one saw that coming,
least of all me. I was the youngest Kai chosen in hundreds of years. There
were a number of candidates who had the experience and background to take
the position. They were far more qualified. When I was summoned to the
cloister and told I almost fainted."
Sekal's eyes narrowed. "Was there an ongoing dispute within the hierarchy
at the time?"
She gave a start. "Why do you ask that?"
His head tilted slightly to the left he answered. "For the purpose of
gathering information."
She paused for a moment before answering. "Yes, there were two strictures
in dispute at the time over interpretation."
"Have those disputes arisen again since?"
She gave him a startled look. "Yes they have actually and I've had to weigh
in on them."
"And what was the interpretation of the strictures concerning? What about
their application was in dispute?"
She gave him a puzzled look. "Concerning Cardassia."
"One last question. Did anyone try to pressure you to renounce the Oralian
Way or support the opposing interpretation?"
She nodded. "It was very intense in the beginning and there were some
heated exchanges over it both publicly and privately. I managed to stand my
ground though and it lessened over time. I refused to renounce Cardassian
believers no matter what threats I received."
"Threats?" An eyebrow lifted.
"Nothing physical but promises to undermine my authority just not presented
in that way. You know? 'I won't stand idly by while you do this' sort of
thing."
Sekal stood to his feet. "Thank you Kai Hetel, our conversation has been
most? enlightening. I trust that you understand it is in your best
interests to remain on the ship until my chief medical officer is satisfied
with your recovery?"
"Yes... yes I understand." She slumped back against the wall.
"I will however ask her if you might be transferred to a more comfortable
room in the interim. We have VIP quarters here that are spacious if you are
strong enough."
"Thank you Captain."
She watched as he turned to go.

She frowned. "It's a religious trap rooted in humanity, this idea that things are absolute. While they are eternal they are also living and apply to every situation as it arises but not always in the same way. The Prophets don't change in any way but situations that arise necessitate a difference in approach."
"Two examples, the pagh wraiths are evil and determined to destroy anything devoted to the prophets so they may supplant them. It's in their nature and absolute."
"The other is the Oralian Way, Cardassians who turned to the worship of the prophets. According to interpretation of the old strictures Cardassians were evil, beastial and beyond redemption. It was only due to the efforts of Vedek Yevir that they were recognized and accepted into the Way of the Prophets despite the brutality of the occupation and their alien origin."
Sekal waited patiently as the highest ranked teacher of their religion on Bajor continued to do what she excelled at. While most of the information she was giving was not germane to his reason for being here it was establishing a possible motive.
Krevi leaned forward a bit. "We now have a Cardassian Vedek, unthinkable only a few generations ago and not entirely accepted by all but in another few generations it will be commonplace and another part of routine."
"And your disputed policies?" He prodded to divert her narrative.
"A natural progression of course. More funding and teachers for the Oralian Way, support for the society they are rebuilding since their planet was decimated by the Dominion. Bringing Prylars to Bajor for further education and training. A visit to Cardassia a few years ago." She threw up her hands. "The Prophets only know the outcry I got when I announced that."
Sekal nodded. "I understand your election was unforeseen."
Krevi sighed and slumped back against the wall. "No one saw that coming, least of all me. I was the youngest Kai chosen in hundreds of years. There were a number of candidates who had the experience and background to take the position. They were far more qualified. When I was summoned to the cloister and told I almost fainted."
Sekal's eyes narrowed. "Was there an ongoing dispute within the hierarchy at the time?"
She gave a start. "Why do you ask that?"
His head tilted slightly to the left he answered. "For the purpose of gathering information."
She paused for a moment before answering. "Yes, there were two strictures in dispute at the time over interpretation."
"Have those disputes arisen again since?"
She gave him a startled look. "Yes they have actually and I've had to weigh in on them."
"And what was the interpretation of the strictures concerning? What about their application was in dispute?"
She gave him a puzzled look. "Concerning Cardassia."
"One last question. Did anyone try to pressure you to renounce the Oralian Way or support the opposing interpretation?"
She nodded. "It was very intense in the beginning and there were some heated exchanges over it both publicly and privately. I managed to stand my ground though and it lessened over time. I refused to renounce Cardassian believers no matter what threats I received."
"Threats?" An eyebrow lifted.
"Nothing physical but promises to undermine my authority just not presented in that way. You know? 'I won't stand idly by while you do this' sort of thing."
Sekal stood to his feet. "Thank you Kai Hetel, our conversation has been most? enlightening. I trust that you understand it is in your best interests to remain on the ship until my chief medical officer is satisfied with your recovery?"?
"Yes... yes I understand." She slumped back against the wall.
"I will however ask her if you might be transferred to a more comfortable room in the interim. We have VIP quarters here that are spacious if you are strong enough."
"Thank you Captain."?
?She watched as he turned to go.

Hetel Krevi- 1725)
"Captain wait."
He turned around. "Yes?"
"What was the reason everyone was getting sick? What has been done? I've
been given no answers yet."
The Vulcan returned to the chair and sat down. The Kai's pleading look had
forestalled him.
"The orbs are imbued with omicron radiation which is hazardous to life
forms. Had you remained it would have killed you. The casings have a
protective field installed to stop this but it is breaking down. Had it
failed completely before we arrived all would have died."
A distant look came to Krevi's face. "The answer lies within the orbs."
"What answer?"
She shook her head. "It came to me before I passed out the last time. The
answer to the sickness was in the orbs."
She frowned and this time it was her voice that was changed, distant,
deeper. "But not in the orbs you know."
Sekal's eyes narrowed. "Not in the orbs we know?"
She shook her head. "I don't understand but this is what the Emissary told
me."
He leaned forward with interest. "When were you told this?"
"Before I woke up." She pushed herself forward. "I thought it was a dream
at first but I remember the voice. There was no mistaking it. It was him."
"Captain Benjamin Sisko?"
"The Emissary Sisko yes."
"How could Captain Sisko have contacted you outside of the orbs?"
She threw up her hands. "How do the Prophets speak to us through the orbs?
I don't know but they do. Why does one preclude the other?"
"A logical argument." He nodded his head. "But you might have been
dreaming. The brain is a complex mechanism that has many ways of dealing
with issues, sometimes even those of which sentient species are unaware."
"No!" Her voice was firm, commanding. This was where she was in her
element. "I remember it vividly just as the Emissary said I would."
"If so then what would be an orb you do not know?" He wasn't convinced but
was willing to listen.
"There is a tenth orb. It was found and used but lost again shortly
afterward."
"Then you believe the tenth orb is the key?"
"I thought so but his answer was hard to understand, that is the way of
prophecy."
"What was his answer?"
"When I said the tenth orb he said it was but was not."
Sekal folded his arms over his chest. "The answer is illogical. How could
something be yet not be?" It appeared she had been dreaming despite her
protests.
"He also said something else. That it is coming to Bajor now. That at its
end the things that were torn would be made whole again."
His eyes opened wider as he compared this new information with what Q had
told Commodore Remae. His displeasure with being forced to hold the
interdimensional tears from being ripped open wider which would lead to
catastrophic destruction of the parallel universes. The timing of their
coming and then Q himself taking an interest in their ship. His words to
Sienna Williams-Verin.
And Commodore Remae was on his way to Bajor now.
Sekal sat bolt upright in his chair.
"What is it?" Krevi had been startled at his abrupt movement.
"Perhaps nothing." The Vulcan replied as he rose from the chair. "Perhaps
everything. Thank you Kai Hetel. I have a communication that must be made
immediately."
He was out the door quickly leaving her more confused than before.

ILLUMINARRPG: (20-1732)- Kai Hetel Krevi
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2020 20:26:00 -0500
Mission: The Root of Decay
Day 20
Stardate 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar - Sickbay Isolation Room - Kai Hetel Krevi - 17.32)
The Kai had been rocked by the revelations the Captain had given as to her
time spent unconcious. ~Poisoned? Condemned to die in the temple? Who and
why?~ His questions seemed to have satisfied his curiosity and once the
points had been dredged up it appeared to be convincing and damning. There
had been several in the beginning who had pressured her with one being the
most outspoken and he now led the assembly. The others also had very
prominent positions.
~Enough to demand my death?~ She had refrained from the political side of
her position before preferring to lead by example. It appeared now that the
vacuum this left may have almost killed her. Change would have to take
place and soon.
"Miss Krevi may I speak to you?"
Her head swung up at the entry of another female medical officer, this one
had a very prominent Klingon genealogical foundation.
"Of course, please just call me Krevi." She gave her a tired smile as she
picked up the mug before realizing it was empty.
"I am Ariel Trei. ACOUNS ACMO. I am the assistant chief medical with Dr.
Solice. I just wanted to check up on you. If you wonder of the ridges on
my forehead you are correct. I am half Betazoid and Half Klingon. I have
been told many stories of the conflict with Klingon and Cardassians.
Nothing involving Cardassians would surprise me. What can you tell me of
the visions the orbs told you?"
She hadn't seen the Betazoid clues to the others heritage but then again
she wasn't very familiar with that race of beings.
She motioned to the chair. "Please sit... it's Ariel isn't it? Or is it
Trei? Naming conventions of non Bajorans are different I've heard."
(Reply: Trei)
"Thank you Ariel and I apologize for my confusion. Today for me has just
started and it's already been extremely hectic and a little strange.
Indulge me please why you are curious about the orbs."
(Reply: Trei)
She smiled. "It started two months ago when I began my circuit of the orbs,
one per week. The visions became sharper and more urgent, warnings of
danger to come. Until I had come to the last one, the orb of the Emissary.
The visions are not like normal conversation you see, they are prophesies
and their meanings are unclear, meant to be understood at the proper time."

Penny shut her eyes bright angry lights danced on the darkness. When she opened them the lights faded. But returned when she closed them again.
? LEAVE MAY ALOON! ? she shrieked.
But once again when her eyes were closed. The lights returned. Penny lost her temper and pulled a knife from her boot.
? I?LL BLIND YER!? She shouted
What was she doing? Threatening to blind herself just because. Every time she closed her eyes. She saw flashing lights? Penny needed help.

"A fellow officer was inflicted by the same poison. I may be able to help
you work out your emotions over the conflict. While we do that, I may be
able to get information needed in the investigation. Shall we begin?"
Krevi smiled indulgently at the Counselor. So she was here in an official
capacity then. While the Kai would admit to being a bit confused by the
ordeal she hardly considered herself in need of mental therapy, she had her
faith which was unshakable. Despite that the young woman's concern seemed
genuine.
"How do we begin then and what do you want to know? I'm not sure what you
want from me."

ILLUMINARRPG: (20, 1740, 1743) COUNS Alaya Ravenstone

Mission: The Root of Decay
Day 20
Stardate 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar - Counseling suite - COUNS Alaya Ravenstone - 17:40 )
Laying on the couch in the counseling suite, Alaya had a dark, warm cloth
over her aching eyes. It had been a day and thankfully it was almost over.
She was off shift in a little over an hour, and she would have time to
spend with Steven when it was over. She was looking forward to that since
their lunch date had not occurred. She missed him intensely, and he was
not even that far away
=^= Mc Taggard to counsellor Alaya Ravenstone come in please. =^=
Making a soft groaning sound, Alaya groped for her comm badge without
removing the dark cloth from her eyes, "Counselor Ravenstone here." She
replied. "I submitted my report from the interrogation earlier Ensign." She
hoped that was what this was about.
=^= I need yer help. I think I am going bonkers. =^= Penny's voice
crackled out of her comm badge, forcing Alaya to sit straight up on her
couch, the cloth falling off her face and onto the floor.
Alaya wasn't sure what that meant but the tone of voice was pretty clear.
Before she could say anything, Penny spoke again, and the words caused
Alaya to trip over her feet.
=^= I need to see you urgent before someone gets killed. =^= Penny
replied =^= Please =^= The voice was begging her. Alaya was scared for a
moment. She hadn't really dealt with anyone in crisis before.
"I'm on my way, Ensign. Do not leave your quarters."
=^= Thank yer Taggard oot. =^= Penny sounded relieved. Alaya was
terrified. She made sure the connection was closed, then began to place
the needed calls.
"Counselor Ravenstone to Security. I need a senior security officer to meet
me at Ensign McTaggard's quarters please."
(reply Security)
Alaya did not leave her office yet, "Counselor Ravenstone to Dr. Solice.
Ensign McTaggard just contacted me and she is in crisis. I am going to need
someone from medical on standby in case of sedation needs. Actually, have
someone meet me there to scan her, but don't enter without me or security,
please. "
(reply Solice)
Protocol said that she was to notify the first officer as well, but that
was not a call that she wanted to make at this moment. Alaya took a moment
and took her blades out of her boots and locked them in a drawer. Protocol
said that she take nothing with her that could be used as a weapon. If
McTaggard had not threatened to harm other officers, none of this would be
necessary. She had Sienna's report that the woman had anger issues and that
was why Sienna had paired her with Lee. Well one of the reasons. Had she
hurt Lee?
"Counselor Ravenstone to Ensign Keung Lee. Ensign Lee where are you and are
you well?"
(reply Lee)
"Please refrain from entering your shared quarters until I give you
permission. Thank you."
(reply Lee)
As she sprinted out the door, Alaya called telepathically ::Luma, lock
McTaggard's quarters, keep an eye on her but do not talk to her, please.
Make sure she stays in her quarters. If she tries to leave, use the
transporter and put her in an empty brig cell.::
Luma sent a wordless burst of concern. ::Yes, 'Laya.:: Luma sent back,
turning her attention towards mcTaggard.
(USS Illuminar - outside McTaggard & Lee Personal quarters -COUNS Alaya
Ravenstone - 17:43 )
Alaya had sprinted to McTaggard's quarters after her calls, and was the
first to arrive. She could not enter until security arrived, and she would
not enter until medical did. One they were there, Alaya took a deep breath
and spoke aloud, "Luma, please unlock the door and open it."
The door whooshed open onto a dark room and the group entered. "Ensign
McTaggard? It's Counselor Alaya. We are going to turn on the lights, all
right? No one is here to hurt you. The Doctor is here to check you over, to
make sure whatever happened on Bajor is not contagious." Make it seem
physical, rather than mental. "The security officer is here to make sure
everyone remains safe. Can you please come out and talk to me?"
Two security officers lived in these quarters, there were likely weapons
everywhere. That worried Alaya. It was best to meet a client in crisis
where they were, rather than where you needed them to be.

Lieutenant Verin had bridge duty and so he had come straight to his office,
not stopping to answer questions. If what Kai Hetel had told him had indeed
come from Captain Benjamin Sisko, the Emissary Sisko to her, then it could
not only be the answer to the question of the orbs containment but possibly
other issues as well.
It did not escape his thoughts that the "prophecy" might also be the
product of a mind that was reawakening and processing its long absence in
light of the insight she had come to before losing consciousness. If so
they gained and lost nothing or as humans were want to say they were back
to square one.
At any rate it was the logical time for a report.
With the monitor active and him sitting at the desk he spoke.
"Luma open a channel to the Republic, Commodore Remae, standard encryption.
Beta 3, Ceti 5, blue level."
"This one has opened the channel. Hailing the Republic."
The monitor came to life and the Vulcan CO nodded deferentially.
"Commodore."
=^= Captain Sekal I hope you didn't mind us dropping in but we wanted to
give the new transwarp drive a test run and it seemed like time, situation
report, if you please. =^=
Sekal placed his arms on the desk with his hands together, the thumbs and
index fingers touching.
"Events on the planet have been largely defused. Kai Hetel Krevi and her
subordinates have been evacuated from the temple and are recovering. The
Kai herself has just awakened after twenty four hours on board and
treatment for the poison that was found in her system by the medical staff."
=^= Any suspects? =^=
"The Dean of Vedeks is under suspicion for her poisoning but as of yet
there is no hard evidence that he was involved that would be admissible on
Bajor. As a Bajoran matter we will introduce our findings to the Minister
of Security so that they may begin an investigation. That is however of
secondary importance."
=^= Really? What is of more importance? =^= Remae looked to his right and
Sekal noted that Admiral Bell was in attendance.
His lips were a hard line. "The receptacles for the Bajoran orbs are losing
containment resulting in the release of omicron radiation and it is
spreading in a cone into space with the temple at its base. The energy
field is extremely hazardous and it was this energy that struck down those
in the temple. Illuminar is currently in geostationary orbit outside of the
field and I will have the energy dispersal model sent to the Republic by
the science department so that you may avoid it."
"Lastly it is my conclusion that this is the key event which must be
overcome to avoid the civil war timeline you were shown. All of our efforts
are being bent to the end of defusing it however this is a technology of
which we know little and working in the vicinity of the orbs is potentially
deadly. There is something that has come to light however that may have a
bearing on the matter."
=^= Hmm, sounds like we need to continue this conversation in person. I think
I will come over, Captain, with your permission. Also, I would like to see
the Kai. =^=
Sekal nodded. "Affirmative. I will have the coordinates for the transporter
room sent over. You may beam aboard when ready."
The transmission ended and Sekal tapped the comm.
"Transporter room 1 send your coordinates to the Republic and notify the
bridge when Commodore Remae is ready to beam aboard."
=^= Aye sir. Sending coordinates now. =^=
He tapped the comm again.
"Lieutenant Verin please have the Omicrom radiation dispersal model sent to

to attempt a quick dinner before he arrives. Please notify me when he is
ready to transport aboard."

Penny was scared. More scared then she had ever been before. Because Mc Taggard had never in her short life felt this way. Even in training at the academy she had held her nerve. Out of a class of ten cadets. Penny and one other had been the only ones. Not freaked out in the Kobayashi Maru test.
But now she was frightened.
The doors swooshed open making her jump. She could make out figures in the gloom.
Mc Taggard recognised one of the security guards. His grip was not as good as it should be. She could easily take his Phaser. Even at high stun the weapon would be lethal.If pressed against her forehead.
Penny began to cry.
Alaya?s words seemed to sooth her.Slowly she came out of the shadow. Mc Taggard lifted up her tear stained eyes.
? Help me ...? She said softly.
( Reply , Alaya )
? He?s here..... the phantom piper......please.....don?t let him take me......? Penny said softly.

ILLUMINARRPG: (20-1744)- aCSec- Ensign (sg) Svend Saarsgard and SecO- PO1 Steven Hammons

Stardate 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar - outside McTaggard & Lee Personal quarters - aCSec- Ensign
(sg) Svend Saarsgard and SecO- PO1 Steven Hammons - 17:44 )
It was nearing end of watch when the Counselor had called and the message
had been urgent. Svend had immediately called Hammons away from his other
duties to meet him on deck 3.
They now stood with the Counselor and a member of medical outside the
personal cabin.
Alaya had given them a quick sitrep. Svend and Hammons would be the first
to breech and both had their phasers on light stun to avoid injuring
McTaggard if possible.
"I'm going in first, Hammons on my six. If this goes south we will take her
down. Hopefully that won't be necessary." He looked at the medical officer.
"Get your hypo ready."
(Reply: Medical)
"Counselor you will be the last in. Thanks for the call." He gave each a
long look. "Hopefully none of this is necessary and we can talk her down
but we have to be ready for anything."
(Reply: Alaya)
"Hammons don't fire unless you have no choice. I'll take right, you go
left."
"Understood chief, I've got your back." Hammons wasn't kidding now. This
was like during the callup of the MDP. The two sniped at each other
mercilessly at times but during times like this they worked as a team and
Saarsgard's word was law. This was the way it had to be.
"Go in low, I'll draw her attention."
Hammons nodded, Saarsgard was offering himself up as the decoy.
"And now." Saarsgard stepped forward and the door opened, no need to
override it. His phaser was still on his hip. He stepped far enough inside
the door that Hammons could slip in behind him, his phaser was in his hand.
He was moving low and fast to bracket the left side.
"McTaggard it's Saarsgard. Give me a sitrep Ensign." His voice was casual
and non-threatening.
? Help me ...?
"We are here to help Penny." He spotted her curled up on the bunk, her
hands were visible and empty.
? He?s here..... the phantom piper......please.....don?t let him take
me......?
"We won't let anyone hurt you lass."
He motioned for the others to enter.
? Help me.....? She was sobbing.
Hammons hung his phaser on his hip and moved to her left as Saarsgard moved
to her right. If she jumped up or dove for a concealed weapon they would
intervene.

"Let's start with the vision you received when you used the orb that
infected you. What do you remember?"
"What do I remember?" She sighed and closed her eyes. The vision was still
as clear as the day it happened.
"I was walking in an arid place and the sun was beating down on me from
directly above. It seemed as though the heat was sucking the energy from
me. I saw a tree ahead and its boughs were wide and tall and thick with
leaves so that beneath its canopy was well shaded. It looked cool and
inviting."
The corners of her lips upturned at the memory of the tree in its initial
state. It had been as healthy and vibrant as any she had ever imagined. As
a matter of fact it had been more so, an ideal rather than an actual
representation of life. The blue-green leaves seemingly radiated health and
vitality.
"I made for the tree to escape the sun but as I approached it the leaves
withered at an incredible speed until they were brown and lifeless then
dropped to the ground. Before I could reach it the tree had died and dried
up. There was no shade left. That was how the first part of the vision
ended."
Her smile had vanished as she recounted the death of the tree.

ILLUMINARRPG: (20, 1745, 1752) CMO Lt. J.G. Quinna Solice
From: msklbailey2016 at gmail.com (Kris Bailey)
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2020 21:17:22 -0500
Mission: The Root of Decay
Day: 20
Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar -- Personal Quarters -- Deck 2 -- CMO Lt. J.G. Quinna
Solice -- 1745)
Quinna sat back on her couch. She had a trashy novel that occupied her
time. It had been a while since she had some ?Me time.? The next few
weeks, she knew she was be busy with crew physicals. She was also planning
on talking with the Kai and perhaps taking the Kai around the ship. A
request for VIP Quarters had already gone through.
The silence of the room was broken as the chirp of the commbadge went off
like the rippling of water after a stone was thrown into it. Quinna put
the boo face down next to her and reached for her badge that she put on the
small table next to the couch.
"Counselor Ravenstone to Dr. Solice. Ensign McTaggard just contacted me and
she is in crisis. I am going to need someone from medical on standby in
case of sedation needs. Actually, have someone meet me there to scan her,
but don't enter without me or security, please. "
Quinna replied, ?I can meet you there is a few minutes.? Quinna then
looked at her book, took a deep breath and reached down as she slid her
boots back on. She smacked the combadge to her upper chest and left her
quarters, nut not before she grabbed her personal med kit.
(USS Illuminar - McTaggard & Lee Personal quarters -- CMO Lt. J.G. Quinna
Solice -- -COUNS Alaya Ravenstone - 17:52 )
Quinna waited outside the Quarters. She was not clear what was going on
but reached into her bag with a hypospray. She hoped that she did not need
it. Not knowing what she was getting into but she preprogrammed a
sedative, just in case.
"I'm going in first, Hammons on my six. If this goes south we will take her
down. Hopefully that won't be necessary." He looked at the medical officer.
"Get your hypo ready."
?Already ahead of you.? Quinna replied. Moments later the door was opened
and they were entering the room. Quinna followed the others in the room.
She was not real familiar with the Ensign and did not rush to approach.
She waited for a cue. While she waited, she glanced aroun the room. She
was not sure what was out of place.
"The Doctor needs to scan you. Is that all right?" Alaya asked, "And if
it's all right, can she give you a hypospray to help? Something to calm you
down and help you think clearer?"
(reply Penny)
Alaya brushed her dark blue hair back behind an ear as she stayed near
McTaggard. Alaya needed clues to deal with this, as she had never heard of
a phantom piper before.
"Can you tell me when you first started to feel this way?"
~ The phantom piper sits on the root of decay. Waiting for the valiant to
fall so he can pipe them to the next world. ~ The words seemed to grow
fainter as Alaya spoke.
Alaya thumbed on the lights. Penny winced. "Penny, Ensign Saarsguard is
here to make sure that the phantom piper will not harm you. Is he here? Can
you show me where?" Her voice was soft and gentle
? In here....? Penny said pointing at her head.
"The Doctor needs to scan you. Is that all right?" Alaya asked, "And if
it's all right, can she give you a hypospray to help? Something to calm you
down and help you think clearer?"
Quinna moved closer. She reset her hypospray for a milder sedative to calm
Mc Taggard.?
? Please... get him oot me heed.....please ? Penny said slowly raising her
arm. So they could give her a hypo.
?Can you tell me when you first started to feel this way?"
Quinna fan her tricorder over Penny. She needed to calibrate the dose to
give her. Quinna pressed the tip if the spray to Penny?s upper arm. With
the sound of the hiss had finished, Quinna removed the Spray and stepped
back. She needed to analyize the scan.
She could see the others tense. Penny began to sob. She was frightening
them and she did not mean to. All she wanted to do was be free of this
wretched feeling.
? What?s going on?? She asked
Quinna turned her head and she heard the change in the ensign. She let the
counselor handle the question.
( Reply , security, Alaya )
? I said what? ? Penny said shocked
(Reply, security, Alaya )
? The last I remember. We were on the planet. Waiting for Ensign Tara to be
beamed away. I went hunting for her antenna around that alter. They had
tied her to. Something beeped on my tricorder. Then....Here I am looking at
you guys. What happened to me? ?
she asked concerned
(Reply ,security, Alaya )
? I have no memory of any of this. I punched out a monitor? I am sorry.?
Penny said
(Reply security, Alaya )
? I?ll do anything to help. If something made me behave like this. It
could effect others. Whatever I can do to help.?Penny said
?To Help, I need you to come with me to sickbay. ? Quinna started. ?I
have some readings that I am concerned about, but then it may just be
nothing as well.?
Quinna did not want to say anymore, but she wanted to confirm what she
noticed.

was her superior officer. She could not approach until the security team
were in place.
? He?s here..... the phantom piper......please.....don?t let him take

seriously wrong with the young woman.
"We won't let anyone hurt you lass." Saarsguard replied.

move into place before she approached.
"Hammons, she thinks that she can get to your phaser." Alaya spoke, the
thought crystal clear as Penny thought it. "She wants to put it to her head
and kill herself."

"What were you feeling when the tree died in the vision?"
"What was I feeling?" She looked back to the Counselor and thought
carefully.
"Sadness to see such a beautiful and majestic tree die. Anger that my
source of comfort had been so abruptly taken away and frustration that I
could do nothing to stop it. From the beginning of the process until the
end took only a matter of seconds."
"What does the vision mean to you?"
Krevi sighed. "Nothing then of course but looking back on it now it's all
clear. The decay of the protection given to us by the Prophets against the
energy in the orbs threatened to kill everyone in the temple and may render
the orbs useless. And without the orbs how are we to communicate with them?
What will become of the Path? Will it survive or be fractured into many
opposing factions as has happened to so many religions?"

Penny was scared but this time it felt different. It did not feel like a solid wall. Pressing down on her squashing out the air in her lungs. She had heard Dr Solice voicing some concerns. But Penny felt calm , something had caused her to completely change character. Mc Taggard wanted to know the truth.
She thought back to when this had started. Yes it was after she had searched the alter. Mc Taggard knew that it would help Tara. If they could find her original antenna. She had seen a weird reading on her tricorder. It gave a strange noise. Then she could not remember anymore until now. There had been a few flashes. Pain in her hand obviously caused when she hit the monitor. But until they told her she had done it. Penny had no knowledge of doing it.
? Am I going insane?? Penny said aloud although more to herself.

He was scared. And angry. And daring. Courageous. Anger suffused him. His
vision was red. He felt like he was so strong, strong enough to take
control of this vessel. All he had to do was find the Vulcan and destroy
him. That was how one advanced here.
Part of him was shouting that this was a terrible idea. That the Captain
was good, that nothing good would come of this. But that part was tiny, and
it was being obliterated by the anger that suffused his soul.
He frowned as he felt footsteps through the deckplates. His enemies were
going to come and get him, stop him from disposing of the Vulcan Captain
and assuming command of the starship.
He snarled. This was the time of day that the Captain left the bridge and
headed for the lounge for his meal. A feral grin, the dagger in his hand
as he leapt out at the Vulcan's back, stabbing downward. Shouting in
romulan, "Die you Vulcan scum!"

ILLUMINARRPG: (20-1757)- CO, Lieutenant Commander Sekal
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2020 15:40:18 -0500
Mission: The Root of Decay
Day: 20
Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar - Deck 4- Corridor outside officers lounge-CO, Lieutenant
Commander Sekal- 1757)
He had just exited the turbolift and was on his way to the evening meal. He
routinely shunned the Captain's private dining room though it would no
doubt have its uses in the future. Until then he found it illogical to
insulate himself from the crew.
He had spoken with Commodore Remae then departed the bridge and headed
here after giving his report. Activity on the planet had been frenetic
until the launch which had not been lessened while in orbit but had been
redirected as physical effort gave way to more cerebral pursuits.
Finding a way to contain the omicron radiation was ongoing and the Kai had
been a veritable font of information, far more than he had expected. With
the background of the puzzle solidifying he was ready to begin assembling
the pieces.
The temporary breakdown of one of his security officers was an unknown
element, was it possible it could spread among the crew? Caution would have
to be maintained since it had been proven uncounted times in the past that
safety aboard a starship was not sacrosanct. Whether from stress, illness
or some other unknown reason starships at times were a simmering kettle
waiting to boil over. His own father had narrowly escaped death from a
saboteur planted bomb while commanding the USS Hades.
All of these things were on his mind as he walked toward the lounge, had he
been paying closer attention he would have approached the lone crewman
standing outside with more caution.
The man was bent over an open panel as though examining the circuitry
inside with his right hand turned and the object or tool he was holding
hidden by his arm.
** Cue the dramatic fight scene music**
It was noting this on a subconscious level that probably saved his life
because as the man cried out Sekal was instantly spinning to the right to
face him and backpedaling away as he lunged, the raised knife descending.
Starfleet officers were well trained in hand-to-hand combat but at Saleke's
urging he had also taken up Suus Mahna early along with his five kilometer
running. While not a master at the Vulcan fighting art he was well versed.
The blade which had been aimed to bury itself in his back instead sliced
across his left forearm, the sting of the cut was quickly buried. Because
the assailant had overcommited himself and was unbalanced forward the
Vulcan's right-handed chop missed the juncture of his right clavicle and
neck, instead grazing the back of his left shoulder. The man raised the
knife quickly and lunged forward with a growl.
Sekal sidestepped and turned to his left, the right handed chop caught the
assassin on his right forearm and the knife clattered to the deck and
skittered away.
He grunted and lunged at Sekal who stomped on his left instep and caught
him on the left cheek with his elbow. The attacker stumbled backward to the
wall which he rebounded from while stunned for an instant.
The Captain had a respite to slap his combadge. "Security to deck 4,
officers lounge."
(Reply: Security)
Jir regained his senses and yelled again but his run was stopped by a boot
planted in his stomach which catapulted him back against the wall.
The Romulan was more cautious the next time as the two closed on one
another. "I'll kill you, this ship is mine!"
Sekal gave a shake of his head in reply. "I think not. Stand down crewman".
Jir was close when he lunged again and the two grappled. Sekal caught his
wrists and clamped down on them painfully. He could feel the blood running
down his left arm but there was no pain, he had suppressed it.
Romulans as vulcanoids were stronger than a human but the race had left
their homeworld over a thousand years before. Their bones and muscles were
untempered by Vulcan's heavier gravity.
Sekal turned, taking a knee to the hip rather than his gut then avoided the
headbutt by slipping to his left before releasing Jir's left wrist. The
engineer gave a triumphant cry and threw a left hook which Sekal ducked.
Sekal pushed himself forward and the fingers of his right hand closed on
the nerve cluster above Jir's right shoulder.
With a gasp the Romulan sagged and was eased to the deck by the CO who was
holding his right wrist.

Day: 20
Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 4 ? Officers Lounge ? CO- Lieutenant Commander Sekal
and NPC nurse Kathy Miller? 1801)
Kathy had heard the call for security by the Captain and rushed out of
sickbay with an emergency medical kit that was well stocked. Ensign Taya
was over the worst of it though still not out of danger but at least for
now Kathy could be spared for other duties. When the CO called in an
emergency alert in that manner mountains got moved quickly.
She turned the corner and saw him speaking with a man from security she had
seen with an unconcious man at his feet. Her eyes though were drawn to the
green blood that was saturating his sleeve and running down his hand to
puddle on the deck.
?Devers reporting as ordered Sir.?
Sekal was speaking. "Have this crewman taken to medical and restrained. All
non-essential personnel are to remain in their rooms and on duty personnel
are to have another crewman with them when moving about the ship."
(Reply: Devers)
Kathy hurried forward and set the kit on the deck, removed a compression
bandage then rose and grabbed Sekal's wrist.
"Nurse..."
"I'll have none of that sir, you're bleeding heavily." She located the
wound and pressed the bandage to it. "Hold that tight."
Sekal complied.
Kathy grabbed the kit from the floor and with a hand on his right arm
pulled him toward the door to the lounge, entering with him in tow.

Mission: The Root of Decay
Day 20
Stardate 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar - Isolation Room - Kai Hetel Krevi- 1805)
The Counselor had left a bit ago, she was thirsty and starving and it
appeared no one was going to bring her food. Krevi didn't feel like
summoning someone to wait on her and tell the truth didn't want to wait.
There was also the issue of Captains springing into her room unexpectedly
which had already happened. If she was going to be forced to put up with
visitors by the Prophets she was going to have some proper clothes!
The Kai had regained some energy from sitting propped against the wall so
she swung her legs over the edge of the bed after removing the covers and
slid until her feet touched the floor, she almost drew them back.
"Cold!" She yelped but kept them there until her feet got used to it. She
then slowly pushed herself up. Wobbly! Her legs were like jelly at first
but she stiffened them and managed to stand erect.
Her feet were turning into icicles, if she was going to do this it had
better be now. She used the bed for support for the first few steps. Got
her courage up and wobbled to the replicator then steadied herself against
the far wall.
"Blouse and pants size six, blue and slippers."
The unit whirred for a moment before opening. She took out the garments and
tossed them to the bed then dropped the slippers on the floor and slid her
feet into them. "I should have specified the size." They were a little big
and floppy but at least the soles of her feet wouldn't freeze.
"A bowl of hot cereal and mug of kava juice."
She didn't recognize the contents of the bowl but oatmeal was close enough
to what she wanted. Bland, filling and nutritious. She lifted her hand from
the wall and tested her balance. "Good enough." It looked like she could
make it. She gathered the bowl and mug and turned toward the bed.
And almost dropped the bowl. She could see through the window to the
waiting area and Vedek Gele Jisel was sleeping in a comfortable arm chair!
She could also see a security officer outside her door.
~Didn't I ask them if there was a Vedek available?~
She had never gotten an answer. Perhaps security concerns were the reason?
~Ah well, it can wait.~
She managed to get her prizes back to the bed without spilling anything and
set them on the table beside it then changed as quickly as she could. In
the end she was in clothing that was a bit baggy. ~I must have lost more
weight than I thought.~ And oversized slippers.
"It will have to do." At least she looked partially presentable for company
and wouldn't be embarrassed.
Plopping back onto the bed she grabbed the bowl and spoon and began eating
slowly. It WAS hot and didn't taste terrible. In between bites she drank
more of the kava juice. She'd finish this off and have another one later so
as not to overload her stomach. If they weren't going to feed her she'd
take care of herself.

Stardate: 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 14 ? aCSec Office ? aCSec? Ensign (sg) Svend
Saarsgard- 1810)
Svend had been on the firing range burning down the last of his watch when
the Captain's call to security had come through, cursing he had run back to
his office to coordinate operations. He had been pacing the deck when the
communication came through.
=^= Chief, the Captain was assaulted. He subdued the attacker, who is now
in sick bay, under restraint, for monitoring. The Captain also said that
all non-essential personnel are to remain in their rooms, and on-duty
personnel are to have another crewman with them when moving about the ship.
=^=
Svend used some colorful language in the old Nordic tongue before growling.
"I copy that Devers. I'll grill that son of a ***** personally tomorrow. If
he can't prove he was possessed by Eric the Red's ghost he's going down
hard for this caper."
=^= With your permission, Sir, I?ll go keep an escort for the Captain. =^=
"Permission granted. Get back to him and stick to him like flypaper, don't
let him out of your sight. I don't give a damn if he gives you a direct
order to bug off. I want a full report on his condition later and I'll
cycle another warm body up there as soon as one becomes available."
=^= Copy that Chief. I?ll not leave his side until you send relief. =^=
Saarsgard cut the comm and cursed roundly. "Crewmen attacking the Captain
on my ship! The ******* nerve!"
He then went instantly into action, opening a ship wide comm to put the
CO's orders into effect.
"This is Saarsgard, chief of security. By order of the Captain operation
zebra is in effect. All non-essential personnel are to remain in their
quarters. Repeat, all non-essential personnel are to remain in their
quarters. No one moves about the ship alone, take a buddy with you. Anyone
found wandering the corridors alone will be held for questioning."
(Reply: Any)
He then slapped the closed security comm line only. "All off duty security
personnel are hereby mobilized immediately. Proceed to your assigned deck
check points and await further orders. Detain anyone for questioning who
doesn't have an escort."
(Reply: Security)
He then started pacing again. Operation zebra had undergone a change in use
since the old naval warfare days. Rather than preparations for a battle it
signified a siege from within. Contact with unknown space maladies or
threat from saboteurs had necessitated the evolution. Something here was
causing some of the crew to go nuts and until they found a way to stop it
Illuminar WAS a ship under siege..

Penny was a sad sight to see. Her long red hair was all over the place. Her eyes were red from where she had been crying. All in all if her Grandmother saw her , she would blush with shame.
? Och. My legs feel all strange. I kinna stand please help me ? ? Penny said softly

?It?s ok. Just take your time.? Quinna said as she helped the young lady to her feet.
? I think the hypo is running oot.? Penny whispered and seemed to shake.

What happened next seemed to happen in slow motion.Alaya and Quinna helped Penny to stand. Then unaided she moved forward.
But Mc Taggard stumbled and made to grab a side cupboard for support. The security team already over anxious and fearing she would attack. Took it as McTaggard was reaching for a hidden weapon. A beam of energy hit Penny making her cry out. She stumbled towards Alaya and Quinna. Another shot caught her in the back.
? Why? ? Penny said as the darkness embraced her and she crumpled to the ground.

Sekal-1818)
Sekal saw the security officer Devers enter as the nurse was closing the
outer epidermal layer.
The knife slice to the back of his forearm had been to the bone but had
done only superficial damage to the ulna. No major arteries or veins had
been cut as they were clustered on the inner side though it had bled
freely. The wound had been heavily sterilized before each pass and there
were a number of bloody towels on the table.
The procedure had stretched the limitations of the portable dermal
regenerator and she had worked from the inside outward using a number of
passes. The sleeve of his uniform shirt had been removed from just below
the elbow to expose the slash. He had sat through the procedure resignedly.
While Vulcans could enter a trance state to repair major damage the process
was time consuming and medical care was significantly faster. He was also
under a number of time constraints.
The security officer placed himself at a discreet distance and alertly
watched the few crew members remaining in attendance. The bulk of them had
left grumbling at the activation of ship lock down.
She finished the pass and used a clean towel to wipe the remaining blood
from his arm with a clean towel then released his wrist. "There you go
Captain, should be good as new."
"Thank you nurse." He flexed his arm experimentally and nodded then rose
from the chair. His window of opportunity to eat had almost certainly
passed.
"I'll clean up here Captain."
"When you are done call security to escort you to sickbay."
"Yes sir."
He made his way to the door and out of the lounge with his shadow following
closely. Next stop Transporter Room 1 to await Commodore Remae's arrival.

Sekal ? 1831)
There had been ample time to procure a new uniform shirt and change out of
the one with a half sleeve and spotted with blood... fortunately. No
self-respecting officer would be caught dead in such an abomination and
that included a Vulcan. Not only would it have been a grisly sight but
disrespectful as well to a higher ranking officer so his entire uniform had
required changing.
The wait had not been long though before word came from the transporter
chief. "The Republic is signaling ready."
Sekal looked to him, nodded then turned toward the pads as one began to hum
and the pillar of energy formed. It quickly began to take shape and
solidified into the form of Commodore Remae.
"Permission to come aboard."
Sekal saluted then stepped forward to greet him. "Welcome aboard the
Illuminar Commodore, permission granted. You mentioned wishing to see Kai
Hetel?"
(Reply: Ktell)
He tapped his combadge. "Medical please inform Kai Hetel that Commodore
Remae wishes to speak with her."
(Reply: Medical)
"Follow me please." As they began exiting the transporter room the two
security officers fell into step closely behind them. Sekal slowed so that
he and Ktell were walking abreast. "The security detail was necessary. The
ship has been placed on lockdown due to recent events."
(Reply: Ktell, Lee, Devers)
They came to the security checkpoint which was manned. Sekal nodded at the
man as they passed.
"Low level exposure to the omicron particles has caused abnormal reactions
in two of my crew so far including psychosis and aggressive behavior. I was
attacked after arriving at deck four by a crewman wielding a knife. You
will therefore have an escort while aboard to insure your safety."
(Reply: Ktell, Lee, Devers)
(USS Illuminar - Turbolift - CO- Lieutenant Commander Sekal ? 1836)
"Sickbay." He spoke after they had settled into the lift and it began
moving quickly. He then turned back to the Commodore.
"Patient recovery from long term exposure to the radiation has been
remarkably fast, no more than twenty four hours in all but a few of the
cases. It would appear that it was blocking certain biochemical and neural
processes rather than breaking down living tissue and the poison that was
introduced into the Kai's system was insufficient to cause lasting damage.
She was alert and talking coherently soon after waking. The field strength
has been increasing quickly however and all would have expired had they not
been removed from the temple. A fact that suspected conspirators to her
death appear to have been counting on due to the Edict against her removal."

~? oh yer deed are yer. Tell me was it a good death? Did yee suffer? Was yer blood gushing from a thousands wounds? Did yer die in hand to hand combat?Did yer die protecting yer friends from a vicious beastie? ?~ He asked
~? No it was an accident I don?t think they meant to shoot me. I turned when I stumbled ?~ She explained
~? So you were killed in close hand to hand combat?? ~ The man asked.
~? No. They came to keep an eye on me. Because I was having emotional problems.? ~ Penny replied
~ ?So yer did not die in combat. You were crying like a wee bairn. No doubt they shot yer out of disgust. Yer nothing but a wee lassie pretending to be something you are not. You think just because you wear yellow that makes you a warrior. The phantom piper only collects the brave and those. With a long good life but you have neither ?~ He replied.
~? I know.....?~ She said
~? You are unworthy to the name Mc Taggard. To think A granddaughter of mine should be just a simpering harpie. I weep...Och the generations of yer kin. The bravery of centuries whittled down into this red haired blubbering red haired coward a before me.?~ the man.

It was a rainy night, blustery and dark on the hill top which is how Keung Lee liked it. He slithered across the patchy grass to where he reached out to a gun case and unzipped it to reveal the three parts of a Dragunov sniper rifle. He forced himself to be slow and methodical as he reassembled it to its full four-foot length. He snapped in the magazine of rimmed 7.62 mm rounds. He then crawled moved to a low rock and rested his weapon on the surface of the rock. He looked through the 4x scope to see climbing up the hill in his direction, six heavily armed men with two barking dogs. They were in a straight line level with each other, several feet apart.
So far so good, thought Lee. They?ve still not seen him?which is just as well because that was not his intention for him to be seen. Selecting his first target, he squeezed the trigger. The sound of the shot exploding into the night.. Looking through the scope, he could see one of the armed men dropped. The others looked at their colleague shouts of alarm. Lee fired again and two more men went down. The remaining three shouting at each in confusing looking for the direction of the shooting.. The dogs barking in anger.
?Devers to Security. Request additional officer to Transporter room 1.? Keung heard on his combadge. Sounds urgent, thought Keung.
?Lee here. On my way?
Keung stood up and said. ?Computer. Save Lee Scenario 1. End hologram simulation.?
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 4 ? Transporter Room 1 ?Security Oficer Ensign Keung Lee ? 1840)
Keung arrived in the Transporter room to see the Transporter assistant by the controls with Petty Officer Hercules Devers looking serous for once standing by the Captain.

Quinna took a deep breath. It had been a long day and it was not over
yet. Picking up a PADD she wandered to the isolation rooms to check on her
most prolific patient, Kai Hetel. Quinna rang the chime as she did not
want to disrespect her privacy.
Upon approval to enter the room, Quinna slid into the room. ?Good Evening,
your Eminence. You look much stronger.?
(Reply Kai)
?I came to check on my favorite patient. I want to check and see if I can
release you from my care, soon.? Quinna explained her visit. Before
anyone can say anymore, Quinna?s commbadge went off.
"Medical please inform Kai Hetel that Commodore Remae wishes to speak with
her."
Quinna looked at the Kai, There seemed to be an unspoken agreement, ?Yes,
sir. She is able to see you now.? Quinna then closed the Comm. ?I am not
sure why the Commodore is here. Today has been so busy I have not checked
my memos.?
(Reply Kai, any)
Quinna pulled out her medical device, Quinna began to scan the Kai. She
figured she would get the evaluation done.
?Have you always been a fast healer?? Quinna asked.
(Reply Kai, any)

Stardate 2445.09.20
(USS Illuminar - Deck 4- Transporter Room 1 ? Security PO3 Hercules
Devers?? 1831)
Devers didn?t like the idea of anyone coming onboard during a lockdown.
Since no one knew why the crewman attacked the Captain, it was a
dangerous breach of protocol.
As the figure materialized, Devers read his rank.He came to attention as
the Captain saluted the Commodore.
Leaving the transporter room, Devers feel in step with Ensign
Lee.Nothing much to do but keep eyes open and alert. Head on a swivel.
"Low level exposure to the omicron particles has caused abnormal
reactions in two of my crew so far including psychosis and aggressive
behavior. I was attacked after arriving at deck four by a crewman
wielding a knife. You will therefore have an escort while aboard to
insure your safety,? the Captain said
Devers whispered to Lee, ?Sir, do you want to escort the commodore and
I?ll keep on with the captain??
(reply Lee)
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 5 - Sickbay PO3 Hercules Devers?? 1840)
The quartet entered sickbay."Patient recovery from long term exposure to
the radiation has been remarkably fast, no more than twenty four hours
in all but a few of the cases. It would appear that it was blocking
certain biochemical and neural processes rather than breaking down
living tissue and the poison that was introduced into the Kai's system
was insufficient to cause lasting damage. She was alert and talking
coherently soon after waking. The field strength has been increasing
quickly however and all would have expired had they not been removed
from the temple. A fact that suspected conspirators to her death appear
to have been counting on due to the Edict against her removal."
Devers noted the enhanced security in the area, and the guard around the
Kai had been doubled.

Mission: The Root of Decay
Day 21
Stardate 2445.09.21
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge - CO- Lt. Commander Sekal- 0700)
Illuminar was remaining at Bajor to monitor the omicron radiation flow. If
their theory held merit then the upcoming operation would shut it down.
The alter-universe orb formerly in Commodore Remae's possession was loaded
on the Edmund Hillary awaiting its final destination, the Bajoran wormhole.
Orders for the flight crew of the shuttle was to trigger the wormhole then
transport the orb close enough that its angular momentum would insert it.
The flight crew was ready and standing by awaiting orders. It was time.
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf launch the shuttle."
"Aye sir." She keyed the closed channel.
"Edmund Hillary you are cleared for launch."
(Reply: Montero, any)
The Aeroshuttle slipped from its berth and angled away from the ship as its
drive came online then changed course and accelerated away.
Video and sensor data was linked between the shuttle and ship so that
Illuminar had a birds eye view of the operation from start to finish and
was being entered into the ship's memory banks.
When the Hillary entered the Denorios belt it would have an extremely
interested audience.
He looked toward the science station, they would notify him if there was
any change in the field. Operations would be monitoring the shuttle as
would Lieutenant Grey Wolf.
He open a ship wide comm. "The Aeroshuttle is away. Estimated time until
operation conclusion three hours and twenty five minutes."
He then closed the comm. Now the waiting began.

Day 21:
Stardate 2445.09.21
(USS Hillary -- Crew Cabin -- CMO Lt. J.G. Quinna Solice -- 0800)
Quinna awoke early. Late in the evening, she received a message to report
to the USS Hillary. Quinna found herself in the crew cabin. She brought
a trashy romance novel to read. The paper was rough but the romance in the
story was rougher. She was not entirely into the story. It had a poor
plot, but she never quit reading the book.
?Hello Doctor, I trust our small sickbay will be sufficient. Not that I
expect us to have anything but a smooth flight.?
?Ahh, but never rely on expectations.? Quinna quipped. ?Sickbay is small
but well capable of handling what is thrown at it.? She added.
?We?re all still getting used to the Hillary. She?s a great solution for
missions like this. Handles like a charm. Why Gunsmoke and I were doing
some atmosphere skipping the other day. If there is anything I can do, let
me know. If you want a better seat, come up to the flight deck, we have a
great view.?
?Now that is an offer I cannot refuse.? As Vic moved to talk with Alya,
Quinna stood and placed her empty cup in the replicator. She then stashed
her book between her arm and her side and headed to the flight deck.
Quinna entered the flight deck and stood there. She was not sure where she
would sit as she found herself standing by the door, memorized by the
viewscreen.

Mission:? The Root of Decay
Day 21:
Stardate 2445.09.21
(USS Hillary ? Flight Deck ? Pilot Vic ?Raid? Montero -- 0930)
So far the ride had been uneventful. Gunsmoke had a handle on the
controls and they had worked out a few contingencies depending on what
happened when they tried to get rid of the orb.
The Doctor seemed to be enjoying the ride from the flight deck and
Lieutenant Alyl was busy working on the ?scienc-y? stuff that was going
to be the endgame of the mission.
Vic looked at the star charts.They were approaching the edge of the
Dennorios belt.Once they penetrated the belt, they still had about 30
minutes to approach the Wormhole.The sensors were showing higher than
normal levels of tachyons along their course.
As he started plotting an alternative course, the computer comm beeped
open.
=^= Illuminar to Hillary, Operations here.We are reading a surge in
tachyon eddies along the trajectory you are following.They are showing
up at 120 mark 280.Adjust your scanners to a frequency of 117 to better
image them. =^=
=+=Copy that Illuminar.We see them.Plotting alternative course to the
Wormhole.Estimates it will add about 10 minutes to the mission
completion. =^=
=^= Hillary, I will inform the Captain.Good hunting.Operations out. =^=
Vic swirled his chair around.?It might get a bit rough folks.I?d keep
your belts on for the moment.We?ll try to navigate through the worst of it.?
(Reply Alyl, Solice, IYW)
Vic let Bebe continue to pilot the new course while he confirmed the
path was free of ion currents.
(USS Hillary ? Flight Deck ? Pilot Vic ?Raid? Montero -- 0940)
The shuttle started moving oddly.?Gunsmoke?? he asked as he looked at
his screens.
?She?s getting sluggish, responding slowly Raid.?
?No tachyon?s around. Starting scan,? he replied.
The two pilots worked to get control of the ship, as it continued to
respond slowly.
Suddenly there was an explosion on the co-pilots panel.Sparks and shards
of glass flew everywhere.Bebe?s head snapped back from the force of the
explosion.
?Damnit,? Vic said, ?Pilot has control.? He said as he started fighting
the ship and space.Trying to gain control.
Seconds passed by, ?Gunsmoke, you ok?Gunsmoke can you hear me?? Vic
called out, as a second alarm started going off.[Neutrino particle field
ahead]the computer said as it added it to the display.
?Hold on everyone,? he called out as he started banking the Hillary to
the left to avoid the field.Following by a sudden descent to clear the
field.Knuckles white.Eyes focused.?Just about ?? he called out as he
increased power to the thrusters, and jerked the shuttle to the
right.?There.? He called out, lowering power.
?Computer run diagnostics,? he called out.?Doc, I can?t go to autopilot,
not after that last encounter.No idea what happened but Gunsmoke?s hurt
bad.?
(Reply Solice)
?Lieutenant, can you check our cargo?Make sure it?s not damaged.?
(Reply Alyl)
[Diagnostics complete.Damage to Transporter and Copilots station.Hull
integrity at 99 percent.Impulse engines are fully operational.Shields
down to 80%. Warp core integrity at 95%.]
?Well shit.?

Very slowly Penny opened one eye. Then she opened the other. Mc Taggard had no idea where she was. Slowly lifting her hand. She tried to get someone?s attention. But all the medical staff seemed busy. Giving a small sigh she looked up at the ceiling.
~ They all look cross something must be going on? I wonder were this is? Looks like the Isolation ward. Why would I be there? Maybe there was something around what Tara was tied to? I went looking for her Antenna.....maybe I trod in something?~ Penny thought
Penny lifted herself up. So she was sitting up on the bio bed. Which started to bleep out a warning. McTaggard looked around as people rushed towards her.
? Hey. It?s me. What?s going on? ? She asked

Prophets - 0949)
Jaton found himself once again in nothingness. Yet despite the fact that he
was surrounded by nothing but light, he felt something familiar. Like he?d
been to this void before. He looked around, taking stock of what was around
him, which wasn?t much. He lifted his arm, and saw that it still responded
and he could see it. Wherever he was, he was at least still somewhat
corporeal. Then out from the light some figures began to resolve
themselves. He spoke.
?Am I with the Prophets again??
?Your pah is troubled. The walls are thin, you have found your way back to
us, child.?
?But you carry the roots of destruction with you,? the figure of Jaton?s
father Ajur said as he stepped from the shadows.
Captain Eva Straton of the Paladin stepped forward ?One misstep and all
shall be destroyed? all shall be forgotten. Like you almost were. But
there will be no redemption if you fail.?
Jaton hesitated. ?I don?t understand. Do you mean in returning the orb? Are
we in danger??
?The danger is all around, a cone pulling all matter inside. The
singularity will destroy all matter around it. Opening a new portal to a
new realm,? the figure of Kasian said.
?You must return it to the sky castle from where it was stolen.? came the
voice of David, his Academy boyfriend, from behind him.
?Yes it is your task,? Captain Straton ?You must be strong, decisive.?
?Return the orb to the wormhole. That?s what we?re trying to do. But what
is it that stands in our way? Something from this other realm? How can we
overcome this threat?? Jaton asked his son.
"You must enter the wormhole. Trust your instinct to guide the ship. The
pilot will know. Tell him to find the bulldog," Straton replied.
The image of the Emissary came into focus "Save Bjorn. Save the Federation."
And just as soon as the vision had begun it faded once again. Once again he
found himself back in the cockpit of the Hillary.
He turned towards the pilot. ?I know what we have to do. Set a course.
We?re going into the wormhole.?
(reply Montero, any)

ILLUMINARRPG: (21-1028)- CO- Lt. Commander Sekal
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2020 00:12:32 -0500
Mission: The Root of Decay
Day 21
Stardate 2445.09.21
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge - CO- Lt. Commander Sekal- 1028)
The command officers were all present, Lt. Verin seated at his right and
Lt. Peters on his left.
Pilot Vic Montero had been dispatched in the Aeroshuttle along with
Lieutenants Solice and Alyl and the alter-universe orb. The orb was not
emitting Omicron radiation, its shielding was intact. It was theorized that
this orb had acted as a catalyst in their "prime" universe and its presence
was causing the degradation of the protective fields of the orbs here.
Perhaps it was destabilizing the barrier between alternate realities as
well, the interest of Q and the words of Captain Sisko would appear to
suggest this. As of yet they had only theories but once the duty was
complete they would know for certain.
Commodore Remae was on the left side of the main viewer. The right half
consisted of the picture of the Edmund Hillary as it neared the location of
the wormhole. The command crews of both ships had been watching the
unfolding tableau silently.
"Captain it's entering the wormhole." Came from one of the stations, the
Vulcan was intent on the swirling vortex in space and on his feet.
"Acknowledged."
There were no explosions, no fireworks. The wormhole did not disrupt or
stop. It did however collapse as the Edmund Hillary turned away and
accelerated back to the ship. That's when it happened.
"There's a shockwave coming from the wormhole."
His head snapped toward the voice. "What kind of shockwave?"
"I don't know sir, the readings are all over the place, they don't make
sense!"
"Yellow al?." Was all he got out just before it hit.
The ship didn't lurch or pitch, there was no crashing wave. People were not
thrown to the deck. Instead the ship and everyone in it seemed to stretch
and groan in protest as the wave passed.
Time seemed to slow until it almost stopped. Distances of a few meters
elongated to hundreds. The sound of shouts and screams seemed to continue
for hours in excruciating slowness.
Sekal felt his heart beat in exacting detail as it seemed to contract over
eons before reversing.
Movement was out of question though he tried, was he frozen in time or
moving so slowly it was imperceptible?
Then like a rubber band it snapped back. That's when the ship lurched and
the engines strained. When all those including Sekal who weren't strapped
down were thrown to the deck.
And then as suddenly as it started everything went calm.
Sekal stood to his feet and turned to see others doing the same.
"Captain we are holding our position." Came from Lieutenant Grey Wolf.
"And the Edmund Hillary?"
"Resuming course to dock with the ship."
He was turned away from the viewscreen when he saw his command team's eyes
light up in alarm.
There was the sound of exaggerated clapping behind him.
"Well, well. You figured it out. I was wondering when you'd get around to
it."
He turned to see Q standing before the viewscreen dressed in the simalicrum
of a command uniform. The look on his face was one of utter satisfaction
mixed with delight.
"Q." Sekal crossed his arms as he stood before the arrogant being. "Your
cryptic clues were hardly informative."
Q shook the index finger of his right hand. "Ah, ah, ah mon capitan.
Nothing in the universe is free, and one can't be properly tested if given
the answers to the questions."
Sekal advanced on him. "What was the shockwave?"
Q gave a gloating smile. "One thing less on my list of duties which frees
up time for more? interesting pursuits. For your limited frame of reference
however you might say things have reverted to normal which is spreading
across the universe at a speed which your feeble minds cannot possibly
comprehend."
Q lifted his hands as he inhaled with relish then dropped them. "And now
it's time for a holiday. Until we meet again. Au revoir."
There was a flash of light and the mercurial being was gone.
Sekal turned and looked out across the bridge then quirked an eyebrow. "I
find his absence curiously refreshing."

(USS Illuminar ? Deck 1 ? Bridge ? CO? Lieutenant Commander Sekal- 13:00)
Illuminar had left Bajor and was nearing the edge of the system. The ship
was currently at warp three and accelerating.
Sekal tapped a button on the chair arm and began speaking.
"Stardate twenty four, forty five, zero nine, twenty two.
Recommendations have been sent to the Minister of Security based on
findings into the investigation of the poisoning of Kai Hetel Krevi. She
was medically released from the ship in the company of planetary security
forces who have been ordered to see to her safety.
The disposal of the alter-universe orb has sealed the rift that had been
developing around the release of omicron radiation from the Bajoran orbs
and it is believed the temple will be reopened after a short quarantine to
verify there are no residual effects. How the wormhole denizens disposed of
it is an unknown however their assistance was invaluable. With the
reinstatement of the protective fields the orbs are now safe for Bajoran
use.
Illuminar has taken on and installed an upgraded flux capacitor in lieu of
the series she had been outfitted with that proved faulty during our
maximum warp sustainability test. We will be proving the design during the
return to sector 001 where the ship will be undergoing upgrades.
The officers and crew of the ship performed admirably during the mission
and my recommendations have been forwarded to StarFleet Command.
Lieutenant Commander Sekal, commanding officer, USS Illuminar."
He ended the log and spoke.
"Current location Lieutenant."
"Leaving the Bajoran system now sir and on course for Mars."
"Increase speed to maximum warp."
The ship accelerated quickly and smoothly until the call from Navigation
came back.
"Warp nine point eight five Captain. At maximum warp and still climbing."
"Continue Lieutenant."
Mere seconds later a "tunnel" through subspace opened before the ship.
Sekal's hands were set loosely on the chair arms as he peered at it with
interest.
"Warp ten."
With a slight shudder Illuminar entered the transwarp tunnel and leapt
ahead, navigating the tube of rippling energy with dizzying speed.
"Recalculating our time of arrival at sector 001."
He crossed his legs as he awaited the report .
"Our new ETA to Sol sector is estimated to be three days, four hours and
twenty minutes sir." There was awe in Grey Wolf's voice as she made the
report.
"Continue at speed while closely monitoring the drive systems."
(Reply: OPS, Engineering)
"Aye sir maintaining speed."
The jump to the transwarp tunnel had been negotiated without specialized
components such as were present on Republic and Exeter and the CO's theory
was that it was due to the tie of the new crystals to subspace which
anchored them in space/time unlike the older dilithium crystal drive. If
the system was proven to be stable during the trip back to base Illuminar
would now be able to traverse the quadrant and beyond at a greatly
increased rate.
The journey to Bajor had taken eighteen days, the return would be a
reduction of eighty three point three percent.
He settled back in the chair, there would be opportunities in the future
for senior members of the bridge crew to take watch, at this time his
presence was required if there was a component failure which he did not
anticipate. Once the technology was proven they would be called upon. Next
stop Mars.

Mission: The Root of Decay
Day: 24
Stardate: 2445.09.24
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 1 ? Bridge ? CO? Lieutenant Commander Sekal- 13:00)
Illuminar had left Bajor and was nearing the edge of the system. The ship
was currently at warp three and accelerating.
Sekal tapped a button on the chair arm and began speaking.
"Stardate twenty four, forty five, zero nine, twenty four.
Recommendations have been sent to the Minister of Security based on
findings into the investigation of the poisoning of Kai Hetel Krevi. She
was medically released from the ship in the company of planetary security
forces who have been ordered to see to her safety.
The disposal of the alter-universe orb has sealed the rift that had been
developing around the release of omicron radiation from the Bajoran orbs
and it is believed the temple will be reopened after a short quarantine to
verify there are no residual effects. Where the wormhole denizens disposed
of it is an unknown however their assistance was invaluable. With the
reinstatement of the protective fields the orbs are now safe for Bajoran
use.
Illuminar has taken on and installed an upgraded flux capacitor in lieu of
the series she had been outfitted with that proved faulty during our
maximum warp sustainability test. We will be proving the design during the
return to sector 001 where the ship will be undergoing upgrades.
The officers and crew of the ship performed admirably during the mission
and my recommendations have been forwarded to StarFleet Command.
Lieutenant Commander Sekal, commanding officer, USS Illuminar."
He ended the log and spoke.
"Current location Lieutenant."
"Leaving the Bajoran system now sir and on course for Mars."
"Increase speed to maximum warp."
The ship accelerated quickly and smoothly until the call from Navigation
came back.
"Warp nine point eight five Captain. At maximum warp and still climbing."
"Continue Lieutenant."
Mere seconds later a "tunnel" through subspace opened before the ship.
Sekal's hands were set loosely on the chair arms as he peered at it with
interest.
"Warp ten."
With a slight shudder Illuminar entered the transwarp tunnel and leapt
ahead, navigating the tube of rippling energy with dizzying speed.
"Recalculating our time of arrival at sector 001."
