Two of Keung?s Security officers took sentry position by the doors, staring ahead. Keung was proud of them particularly as they were keeping a sharp eye on the proceedings, not that he was expecting anything to happen. He glanced around at the environment of the hall..somehow reminding him of the interior of a castle. There was a long wooden table with a brass bell at the end and the walls were covered with faded banners. He slowly walked around, looking at the people sitting around the table and wondered what the banners represented. He then joined the others at the table. Several of the Sharlayans surrounded the table. They look harmless enough, thought Keung but he remained on alert, keeping quiet for the moment. He took a seat next to Captain Sekal. If anything did happen, his priority was to protect the Captain.

Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 18:38:10 -0500
NRPG - a little backstory and view into Gregory's Command Training.
Mission:The Uncaring Stars
Day: 1
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 1 COps Office ? COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory ?
17:00)
?Chief of Operations personal log.Stardate 2445.10.16. We are underway
on our next mission to help the Sharlayan generation ship find a new
home, one that has not been rendered uninhabitable.It is a perfect
diplomatic and scientific mission for the ship.Shakedown and the recent
war game demonstrated that the upgrades are fully functional and that
the Illuminar can pack a punch in case we need to.?
?I have completed the assessments for Command Training Program, and not
to anyone?s surprise, I need to gain more training and experience in
tactical and diplomatic areas, in addition to the standard training in
law, ethics and leadership.It was also recommended that I work on
unarmed combat skills, which was strange, but it is what it is.I have
asked the computer to create training environments to help me learn in
anticipation of the required simulations where these skills are
assessed, and the training modified based on progress.One thing I did
stipulate is to, wherever possible, create a non Star Fleet academy type
setting for learning.I?m not sure what it will spit out, but I did have
to take another test to help design these environments.?
?One thing that was highly encouraged was to start a consistent personal
log, so that when the time comes, I?ll be prepared for preparing regular
logs on the ships activities.?
Gregory paused, ?Computer, end log.?
He understood the need to journal and keep accurate logs.Heck he?s been
studying past missions from some of the great Star Fleet officer ?
Archer, Pike, Kirk, and others.Some of them had been required material
at the academy, but there was an added element now that he was looking
at, the leadership decisions that had been made and the rationale behind
them.
Tapping some keys on his console, he checked the schedule for the
holodecks and saw Holodeck 2 was free.He reserved it for the next two
hours and loaded the first of his leadership programs.
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 5/Holodeck 2 ? COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory ? 17:30)
Gregory approached the holodeck door, not knowing what he would
find.?Computer, open door.?
The door slid open, and there was sand every which way and a path
leading to a Tudor style house.He approached the house, and there was a
sign on the door, ?Enter and be ye not afraid.?
Pushing through the door, there was a table with a single light in the
middle. Four chairs surrounded the table.
Sitting down in the chair, he wondered what was up when he heard a voice
from behind him.?To become a leader so you seek?? came a throaty, almost
croaky voice.
?Yes, I am in the Command Training Program,? he replied without turning
around.
The speaker moved forward.The figure approached the table, barely over 2
feet tall. Green with whisp of grey hair, and large pointy ears.He,
Gregory decided, was dressed in brown, and walked with a cane.He
struggled up into the chair across from Gregory.?Much to learn you have.
Yes, hrrmmm.?
A bald, six foot tall balck man with a mustache and beard walked in.He
was dressed in a 20^th century US naval officers uniform.Glancing at his
rank, he was an admiral. He put a stoneware teapot on the table, and
filled three cups of tea.Passing one to the green fellow, one to Gregory
before sitting down and taking one himself.
?To be a leader of men, you first must learn to follow.I made sure I
knew what each job on the Aircraft Carrier was, so that I knew what my
men and women were doing when I gave orders.?
The door opened, and another man walked in.Dressed in a blue uniform
with red piping, he too sported glasses and was just under 6 foot, with
salt and pepper hair.?But you must not fear when making command
decisions.Your crew will sense the fear and hesitation in your voice, in
your actions.All the decisions, all your orders, you alone are
responsible for.?He pulled up the last chair and sat down.He quietly
poured a cup for himself as he looked at Gregory.
?To banish your emotions the first rule of command is. Fear, hate,
greed. Down the path to tragedy these all lead. Learn to control your
emotions you must. ,. Yrsssss.?The little one said.
?You mean like a Vulcan?Become cold and logical?? Gregory replied.
?No, because passion is equally important for success as a leader,?
replied the black man.
Gregory pondered the words.?How do you find the balance??
?Unlearn what you have learned, you must,? the green one said.?Named
must your fear be before banish it you can.?
?If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result
of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every
victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the
enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle,? the admiral
said.?Sun Tzu said that, and you will meet him on your journey.?
?This is your path, Lieutenant Dieter Gregory.We are here to guide you;
to help you learn along the way.Being a leader, an inspirational leader,
is not easy, but there is hope for you,? replied the other man.
?What?s next?? Gregory asked.

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge- CO, Captain Sekal- 0800)
Illuminar had just come out of high warp near the point in space projected
to be the location of the Sharlayan generation ship. Having left the
transwarp tunnel she was slowing in preparation for dropping out of warp to
impulse power. The doppler shift of oncoming and passing stars was still in
effect though they were coming up at a much reduced rate. Sekal was
currently at ease in the command chair and pulling up readouts on the small
monitor in tandem with the scans currently in progress. This retractable
unit could be and was being used to sift through the data coming from the
Astrometrics lab on deck 4 which fed information from ships sensors to the
bridge.
A proximity warning began flashing on the unit so he thumbed the yellow
alert button at the call from science.
(Reply:Alyl)
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf take us out of warp and prepare for evasive
maneuvers."
"Aye sir."
The starfield stabilized as the ship returned to normal space and Tempest
fired the impulse engines then began maneuvering the ship through a debris
field.
"Shields up."
(Reply: T'Mur))
The debris was not marked on interstellar maps but this area of space was
also largely untraveled though not unexplored and such a navigational
hazard could have been recently introduced.
"Lieutenant Alyl scan the debris field and route the location and expanse
to Starfleet command."
(Reply: Alyl)
Tempest picked a careful route through the zone which due to the route
Illuminar had traveled was no danger to the Sharlayan ship as its projected
flight path would skirt the field by nearly half a light year.
Several tense minutes followed however until the ship at a safe speed of
less than .2 impulse finally cleared the danger zone. Once clear Sekal
disengaged the alert.
"Shields down, return to normal operations."
(Reply: Any)
Sekal then turned to the science station. "The Sharlayan ship should be
within sensor range. Do you have a target?"
(Reply: Alyl)
"Long range scans Lieutenant in a 180? arc. Find that ship."
(Reply:Alyl)
Sekal turned to the main viewer, the Sharlayan asteroid generation ship
which should have been here was missing. Their star drive had been at
maximum output when last discovered meaning something had delayed its
arrival.
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf plot a course to intercept the Sharlayan ships course
then follow it back. Full impulse."
"Yes sir. Plotting course now." Tempest brought the plot up quickly and
fired the engines to their capped maximum.
"Mister Gregory monitor em bands. The Sharlayan ship uses radio
transmissions, if they are sending out a signal you will pick it up there."
(Reply: Gregory)
Sekal's head snapped around. "On audio Lieutenant."
(Reply: Gregory)
The signal was weak but strengthened as Lieutenant Gregory made
adjustments. It took only a few seconds before the universal translator
kicked in.
=^= .... off course. If any are available to help we request your
assistance. Repeat. This is the Admiral speaking. Our navigational
equipment is failing and our people are on the verge of starvation. Our
ship is off course. If any are available to help we request assistance.=^=
The message was on a loop and repeating itself.
"Isolate that signal and send it to navigation. Lieutenant Grey Wolf when
you have a course plotted go immediately to warp 3."

ILLUMINARRPG: (3-0801)- SO, Ensign T'Mur (repost)
From: amuir at sanjuan.edu (Al Muir)
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2021 23:41:24 +0000
NRPG: Reposted for your timeline entertainment. Sorry Charles, I get my post credit back.
RPG:
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge- SO, Ensign T?Mur- 0801)
The last two days of travel had given T?Mur more time to become familiar with the tactical station on the bridge. She had been appreciative of the opportunity to spend more time with the command staff on the bridge during the alpha shift. Ensign Lee had been an adequate instructor, but it soon became clear that he was more suited to his role as chief of security. His? temperament was better served in that role. T?Mur felt that he was almost paranoid at times. However, she had already used her own natural curiosity and self discipline to master what she had been shown, and even notice items that he had missed.
As they came out of warp at the proposed intersection vectors for the Sharlayan planetary ship the first thing she noted was the proximity alert. She had already moved to raise the shields as the captain had activate the yellow alert. The alert klaxon sounded and the yellow light began to flash.
The captain called for evasive maneuvers and shields, but she had already anticipated that order.
?Shields up captain,? she echoed.
The second thing she noticed was that there was no visual confirmation of the Charlatan ship, nor were they anywhere on their short range sensors. It didn?t take long for Lt. Gregory to find a transmission from the ship and their distress call. 2.8 minutes later he had discovered the source of the transmission and they had headed back to warp on a new intercept course.
Apparently nobody else was curious, but what was that debris field? She tried to scan the field as much as possible before they went to warp, and held the scan as long as possible until they were out of range. The debris consisted of both metallic, and other nonmetallic inorganic materials. Some of the material seemed like naturally occurring rock, but they were far from any previously discovered asteroid belt. The metallic substances were of a form that she was unfamiliar with. But then again, T?Mur was no scientist. She sent her readings to the science department.
She turned to Lt. Alyl, ?Lieutenant Alyl, I am sending you some some data from the scans of the debris. Hopefully you can make some sense of it. Some of the materials I am unfamiliar with.?
(reply Alyl)
It didn?t take long at warp 3 to arrive at the adjusted location. As they came out of warp T?Mur immediately began scanning the area.

Mission:The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 1/Bridge ? COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory 0803)
The Illuminar had dropped out of warp.From an operational standpoint,
things were well within engineering specifications.As the ship dropped
out of warp, Gregory watched the automated processes retune the power
flow based on the changing demands of a ship traveling at sub-warp
speeds.He tapped in a few commands to monitor processes and keep his
finger on the pulse of the ship.
Suddenly, the yellow alert sounded and the captain ordered the helm to
be ready for evasive maneuvers. The Illuminar had come out of warp in
the middle of a debris field.
~Great~ he thought as his fingers started working the station, rerouting
power for the shields and sensors.He activated recording the sensor
readings so a more accurate map of this region of space could be
generated.Astrometrics could use the data, and an updated map would be
critical if the Illuminar was going to be in this space for a while.
He watched as the Captain gave orders without hesitation.It was
something he hoped to learn in the CTP.His first simulation had been an
unmitigated disaster.He was still reviewing all his
mistakes.Fortunately, it was only in the holodeck so only electrons had
been injured, that and his ego.
?Mr. Gregory, monitor EM bands.The Sharlayan ship uses radio
transmissions, if they are sending out a signal, you will pick it up there.?
?Aye, Sir,? he replied as he turned back to his console and started
scanning the EM channel bands. There was always a lot of background in
the radio wave channels, which had a wide range of wavelengths.Listening
intently to the noise and watching the spectrums being displayed, he
narrowed into to a repeating signal in the K band, approximately 20 GHz.
?Sir, I found something on the K band.It?s very faint.?
The Captain turned around, ?On audio Lieutenant.?
?Aye, Sir,? he responded as he flipped the signal to the bridges
audio.His fingers worked over the keyboard as he applied various
amplification and filtration techniques to remove the static and other
background noise.Soon a clear audio was coming through.
=^= ?off course. If any are available to help we request your
assistance. Repeat. This is the Admiral speaking. Our navigational
equipment is failing and our people are on the verge of starvation. Our
ship is off course. If any are available to help we request assistance. =^=
The Captain ordered, "Isolate that signal and send it to navigation.
Lieutenant Grey Wolf when you have a course plotted go immediately to
warp 3."
Gregory got to work on the signal.Using the detectors from different
parts of the ship he started working on triangulating the signal.After a
few minutes, he called out, ?I have an approximate location based on
triangulation.I will keep monitoring and providing corrections as we
approach the area,? he called out as he sent the coordinates to navigation.?

Stardate: 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar - Deck 2 - Crew Mess - Security PO3 Hercules Devers - 0804)
With the Illuminar was space bound again, everyone was adopting to ships
time and ships routines.? The NCOs has started meeting earlier for their
joint training session, letting Devers and the others on second watch
get some time before watch started.? After watch, he'd go lift and spar
some more.
Tucking into his breakfast with gusto, he joined in the ribbing with the
other NCOs.? Nothing like building team spirit.? He looked over to the
challenge board.? He's have to work on his phaser targeting to move up
from 4th place, but he dominated in the unarmed combat ladder.
As he was bringing a piece of the buckwheat crepe filled with eggs and
ham to his mouth, the Yellow alert sounded.? Shoving the crepe in his
mouth, he stood up and deposted his tray before heading to his duty
station.
(USS Illuminar Deck 1 - Bridge - Security PO3 Hercules Devers 0809)
Devers stepped out of the turbolift, nodding tho the gamma shift
security guard.?? "Sitrep," he asked.
"Nothing yet.? We came out of warp and the ship we're supposed to find
ain't there.? Nothing but debris.? Looks like we're heading to where
Operations thinks the thing is."
"Copy that," Devers said as he assumed his place to the side of the
starboard turbolift.

ILLUMINARRPG: (3 - 0805) EngO Ens (jg) Tycho Alantar

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar - Main Engineering, Deck 11 - Engineer Ensign (jg)
Tycho Alantar - 0805)
Tycho saw the shifting warp core as it telegraphed the various speeds.
Nary a second, and he had pulled up the sensor data and noted that
they were out of warp and trying to get through an asteroid field,
even as the yellow alert klaxon sounded and the deck rumbled under him
with the shifting inertial dampers. Condition yellow lasted as long as
it had taken for him to pull up screens for damage reports. There
really wasn't much, whoever was at the conn knew their skills and an
asteroid field wouldn't phase them for a second.
Even so, he knew that part of his job was ensuring that any damage was
gone before they took more and compounded any problems, so he was
coordinating repair teams. He kept an eye on what the bridge was
using, where their power was focussed, and once they'd gotten to and
found the course they actually needed, Tycho saw the reaction in their
latitude and speed.
He called over to his cadets, since they were here, they could work. A
work-study semester was intended to get them in the muck and
experience a wide array of jobs to better help them decide their field
within Starfleet. There was plenty of opportunity to trial all types,
and these 4 would eventually roll out of his care, but for now, he
sent them in pairs to manually check the DOTS work. Menial, perhaps,
but everyone must be able to survive on board without full reliance on
subsidiary tech, that and it was gentle hazing. At least he hadn't
made them itemize self-sealing stem bolts.
Until there was further action, Tycho didn't have much to do, so he
grabbed his own tool kit and headed to one of the locations that
required some hands on fixing.

(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge- CSO Lieutenant (jg) Jaton Alyl - 0805)
Jaton was monitoring the readouts from the Astrometrics lab, making sure
the course ahead was clear and scanning for the Sharlayan ship. He took a
sip of the cup of tea next to him, and nearly spit it out all over his
monitor as he saw what was coming up ahead. The proximity alarm then began
to sound.
"Captain, you need to take us out of warm now. We're right on top of a
massive debris field. We're not going to be able to avoid an impact at this
speed."
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf take us out of warp and prepare for evasive
maneuvers."
"Aye sir."
The starfield stabilized as the ship returned to normal space and Tempest
fired the impulse engines then began maneuvering the ship through a debris
field.
"Shields up."
?Shields up captain,? she echoed.
The debris was not marked on interstellar maps but this area of space was
also largely untraveled though not unexplored and such a navigational
hazard could have been recently introduced.
"Lieutenant Alyl scan the debris field and route the location and expanse
to Starfleet command."
"Aye sir." He sent the orders onto the Astrometrics lab, to get as much out
of the sensors as he could.
T'Mur turned to Lt. Alyl, ?Lieutenant Alyl, I am sending you some some data
from the scans of the debris. Hopefully you can make some sense of it.
Some of the materials I am unfamiliar with.?
Jaton squinted at the data. "Some strange concentrations of heavy metals,
many of which don't seem to be naturally occurring. This could be from the
ship."
"Shields down, return to normal operations."
(Reply: Any)
Sekal then turned to the science station. "The Sharlayan ship should be
within sensor range. Do you have a target?"
"Not yet, but we do have some metal concentrations that don't match the
rest of the debris field. Could be from the ship if it came through and
collided with one of the asteroids."
"Long range scans Lieutenant in a 180? arc. Find that ship."
"Aye sir." Jaton turned back to the sensors and programmed in the sensor
sweep. After a few minutes, he turned back to the captain. "I think I have
it. Bearing 146 mark 75. Range approximately 100 AU. Those metal deposits
seem to be leading to that spot."
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf plot a course to intercept the Sharlayan ships course
then follow it back. Full impulse."
"Yes sir. Plotting course now." Tempest brought the plot up quickly and
fired the engines to their capped maximum.
"Mister Gregory monitor em bands. The Sharlayan ship uses radio
transmissions, if they are sending out a signal you will pick it up there."
(Reply: Gregory)
Sekal's head snapped around. "On audio Lieutenant."
(Reply: Gregory)
The signal was weak but strengthened as Lieutenant Gregory made
adjustments. It took only a few seconds before the universal translator
kicked in.
=^= .... off course. If any are available to help we request your
assistance. Repeat. This is the Admiral speaking. Our navigational
equipment is failing and our people are on the verge of starvation. Our

The message was on a loop and repeating itself.
"Isolate that signal and send it to navigation. Lieutenant Grey Wolf when
you have a course plotted go immediately to warp 3."

ILLUMINARRPG: (3-1124, 1207)- SecO- PO1 Steven Hammons
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 21:24:10 -0600
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 8? Astrometrics Lab ?SecO- PO1 Steven Hammons? 1124)
Steven had been making his security sweeps as noted on the rota Chief Lee
had assigned him to. He had stepped into Astrometrics to check as part of
that sweep and was amazed at the activity going on inside. The technicians
manning this "lab" were in a frenzy monitoring the data streams coming from
the ships sensors.
Streams of numbers and code scrolled across the wall mounted screen in the
central nexus beyond the holotable and the table itself had the asteroid
ship they had been seeking rotating on its axis above it. It looked just
like any other dad blamed asteroid he had ever seen though a bit larger and
was as tall as him reaching from the table to the ceiling.
Just like any other asteroid that is except for huge indentations in its
surface on one side that were showing radioactive exhaust with the isotopes
displayed in yellow along with the rate of exhaust in meters per second and
the pressure being exerted in metric tons.
As he stood gawking the senior technician jumped toward the screen.
"Isolate that data stream!" His manner was of intense excitement as he
pointed toward one of the dozen or so. Hammons had no idea what he was
excited about since the code was Greek to him.
"Got it!""
There was a sudden flashing on the holographic image and a small boxy
structure of red appeared on its surface.
The senior tech began crowing with delight. "That's it! I want to know
what's inside it."
"Thermal and spectrographic streams incoming."
The lead tech jumped to a terminal and began typing furiously. As he did
yellow and blue strings of letters and numbers were interposed on the
holographic image beside the structure. O2 was an obvious chemical
designation along with nitrogen, helium and argon.
Steven stood open-mouthed watching the scientific ballet and realized this
must have kicked into gear during the yellow alert when they came out of
warp near the debris field.
"How much coffee did you guys drink to keep up this level of intensity?"
They had been going surely for three and a half hours!
If they heard him they didn't pay him any mind, the techs were in their
element and he was only a spectator. He should have been gone already but
he couldn't help himself. Then a comm signal finally snapped him out of it.
=^= Alpha 1 Security, report to transporter room 1. Get to the Armory
first and sign out a phaser. =^=
"Hammons copies. Arming up, destination transporter room 1."
He ducked out of the lab without anyone noticing he had been there.
(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building-- SecO- PO1 Steven Hammons-
1207)
Hammons materialized hoisting a phaser rifle which chief Lee had assigned
him to along with his sidearm which was at his hip.
The Captain was calling for scans and he heard Counselor Trei calling the
ship but his eyes were on Lee who motioned for him to take up station near
the smaller door which he did along with another security officer.
Lieutenant Gregory was to the side and reporting a possible control access
but Steven wasn't paying much attention. He had his phaser rifle on heavy
stun leveled at the door and ready in case someone or something came
busting through. It was his duty to protect the away team from possible
threats and he wasn't going to let down his guard.
Doing that had gotten Galk captured during the war game and even though he
had won his honor back that was only an exercise, this was the real deal.
~Expect friendlies but be prepared for hostiles.~
A sudden grin came to his face at remembering the sound of unimaginable
mayhem Galk had been creating outside the jeffries tube before they had
been transported away.
Galk had downplayed what had happened after that, saying only that the
Commander of the Sisko had given him a worthy fight before he had reclaimed
his honor but reports had been flying after the wargame and Galk debriefed
then questioned about his role in it. It was well known from them that
Karnovskyy had come out of it quite the worse for wear with a broken jaw
and multiple contusions while Galk had sported his split lip like a badge
of honor and one side had been a bit tender.
~Damn I would have loved to have had a ring side seat to that!~
He pushed the thought away and came back solidly to the moment, they
couldn't afford for him to be lax. This was where a security officer earned
their pay and many their death benefits.

Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge- CO, Captain Sekal- 1125)
"Matching speed with the Sharlayan ship Captain." Tempest reported from the
helm.
The asteroids surface was irregular and it was not small being many miles
in diameter, the work of hollowing it out which this civilization had once
done had been immense. Added to that was of course installing the
machinery, life support and engineering systems that would keep the
colonists alive and give it propulsion. It was a testament to the will and
fortitude of a civilization that had been determined to spread its seed
among the stars. Whether that parent civilization still existed was
unknown, perhaps Illuminar one day would trace its flight path back to the
gamma quadrant in an attempt to make a determination.
The message was continuing to repeat and there was no way of knowing how
long it had been playing. It had been decades since first contact and the
colonists might have expired long ago. No life signs had been picked up as
of yet which could be due to the density of the surface crust or the
radiation from the propulsion exhaust which had been devilishly hard for
ships sensors to penetrate.
Sekal looked about the bridge. "The USS Holmgrim found a small building on
the surface that was used for an airlock to the habitable portions of the
ship. Find that building and send the coordinates to transporter rooms one
and two."
(Reply: Any)
"Can you verify there is a breathable atmosphere?"
(Reply: Any)
Sekal hit the intercom. "Doctor Solice, Assistant Chief Lee, Engineering
officer Alantar and Operations Chief Gregory meet me in transporter room
one with a security detail for primary insertion into the Sharlayan ship."
He gave a short pause to make a differentiation between the groups before
continuing. "Ensign T'Mur, Engineering Officer Matrix, Commander Peters,
Counselor Trei, Lieutenant Alyl and additional security assemble in
Transporter Room 2 to follow us down."
(Reply: Any, all named)
He then signed off and stood to his feet. Would they find any inhabitants
alive? Time would tell. They might need the numbers to make a full sweep
for a determination and if there were survivors it would be necessary to
affect repairs. He had the people necessary to cover all eventualities.
"Lieutenant move us to within two thousand meters and hold position."
Lieutenant Gregory was already turning over the operations station to his
relief. "Continue to hail the ship, if you get a reply notify the
Sharlayans we are coming aboard to render assistance."
(Reply:Any)
He turned his head to Sienna. "Commander Verin you have the bridge."
(Reply: Sienna)
(USS Illuminar- Deck 4- Transporter Room 1- CO, Captain Sekal- 1140)
The transporter Chief was standing ready, some of the officers called had
arrived before him and others were following closely behind. While their
intentions were peaceful regulations called for armament to be available in
the event of unforseen hostilities and as yet there was no way of knowing
what they would find aboard. Sekal took the phaser handed to him, verified
it was on its minimum setting and attached it to his belt. Phasers and
tricorders were also handed out among the other members of the away team.
He then took his place on the foremost pad and when the others had gotten
into position spoke. "Energize."
(Reply: All noted, any)
(Posted by Charles G)
(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building-- CO, Captain Sekal- 1200)
The building was expansive and dimly lit but the lighting brightened as
they completely materialized and their movements were picked up by internal
sensors. Sekal stepped away from the others and looked around. There were
no beings visible apart from his group.
Inset into one grey wall was a heavy valve that he surmised would open out
onto the asteroids surface. He turned to look past the party and saw a
lighter door that no doubt led into the interior. Both doors were ochre in
color. The floor was dusty but the air was fresh.
"Tricorder reading?" He asked those who were running scans.

Lee had spent a couple of hours working on the final version of next month?s rotas. It was an actually an enjoyable task but quite time consuming. It was now finished but he decided to not to send them out yet. He stretched and picked up his mug of tea to take a drink as he looked at the view of the Sharlayan ship from his window.
His attention was drawn to the sound of Captain Sekal on the ship?s intercom "Doctor Solice, Assistant Chief Lee, Engineering officer Alantar and Operations Chief Gregory meet me in transporter room one with a security detail for primary insertion into the Sharlayan ship."
?Lee to Captain. Acknowledge.? Said Keung. Putting down his cup, he turned to his monitor to check which Security officers were available on his rota before pressing his commbadge
?Alpha 1 Security detail report to transporter Room 1. Get to the Armoury first and sign out a phaser. Keung assigned himself to lead Alpha 1?
(USS Illuminar- Deck 4- Transporter Room 1- Assistant Chief of Security Ensign Keung Lee- 1144)
Alpha 1 arrived with Keung in the lead, who grabbed a tricorder and joined everyone else on the transporter pad.
(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building?Assistant Chief of Security Ensign Keung Lee- 1205)
Alpha 1 materialised into the building. Keung studied his immediate surroundings. His security detail took post and provided a discrete protective cover around the rest of the party There was one wall with a heavy value that he assumed led out onto the asteroids surface and saw a another door which probably lead into the interior. He ordered two Security officers to made their way over to the door and wait.

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge- SO, Ensign T?Mur- 1126)
T?Mur continued to scan the space around the Sharlayan ship. She was still not sure of what the debris field that they had originally gone through was, but she was certain that it was not part of a displaced asteroid belt. Too many of the elements in her scan were not naturally occurring. So her natural suspicion, although somewhat illogical, was peaked.
The captain announced, "The USS Holmgrim found a small building on the surface that was used for an airlock to the habitable portions of the ship. Find that building and send the coordinates to transporter rooms one and two."
T?Mur turned her scanners to the planet?s surface of the ship. What she was finding was a minimal atmosphere, and low level gravity. It did not read like a ship, it did not read quite like a planet. It read more like? from what she has been told and had explained? a ghost planet.
?Sir, I have located what is most likely the structure,? she reported. ?Most of the exterior or the ship has limited power readings, however there is a power spike at these coordinates.? She tapped in the coordinates and a bright red dot showed up on the view screen at the front of the bridge. ?Sending the coordinates to the transporter chief,? she said.
"Can you verify there is a breathable atmosphere?? the captain asked.
?There is a minimal exterior atmosphere,? T?Mur replied. ?It appears that there was, at one point of time, a more sustaining atmosphere, but the current status is that the atmosphere can support life for a limited time. I would not recommend spending an inordinate amount of time in it.?
The captain ordered the primary landing party to transporter room room 1. Then he ordered for a secondary team to beam down from transporter room 2. T?Mur nodded to the standby tactical officer who moved over to her location as she walked towards the turbo lift. She was joined by the Counselor, Lt. Alyl and Commander Peters. They all stepped onto the lift without a word.
(USS Illuminar- Deck 4- Transporter Room 2- SO, Ensign T?Mur- 1141)
When they arrived at transporter room 2 they were met by Matrix and a small security team of three, whom T?Mur recognized and acknowledged with a nod. She waited for Commander Peters to step onto the transporter pad first and then followed and found a spot. She and the security team made their way to the four corners of the pad, so that they were providing the most cover for the away team. Picard was one of the team and he handed T?Mur a phaser. She checked the setting and place it on her hip.
She looked over at the commander and nodded. She waited for any words of wisdom from the Second Officer, then on his command she could feel the tinge of the transporter effect begin.
(reply Peters)
(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building- - SO, Ensign T?Mur- 1201)
As soon as the team completed the rematerialization process T?Mur had taken out her tricorder and began to scan the planet. First for life forms, then for other possible threats. Other than the away teams, there was no sign of life on the ship?s surface. The temperature reading was five degrees celsius. It was, to use the vernacular, more than a little chilly. Although it was cold there seemed to be no sign of moisture in the air. The air was thin, as though they were at the peak of a mountain. They could sustain life there for a period of time, but, the humans especially, will tire quickly and could go into respiratory arrest if they maintained their place for longer than about twenty minutes, some longer, some less. T?Mur and Sekal would last the longest, but even their physiology would betray them eventually.
"Tricorder reading?? Sekal asked.
?No signs of life on the surface Captain,? T?Mur reported. ?The lighting appears to be automated, but there is no exact source of the power. Temperature is five degrees celsius. Air quality is breathable but thin. Air pressure is 0.315 of the air pressure on the Illuminar. Gravity is 0.9 standard. The only real, readable power source comes from that building there,? she pointed to a building about 20 meters away.

They all were gathered under the archway that seemed to lead to the power sources. T?Mur was monitoring the landscape. Just because there was no scanner reading for life, it did not mean that nothing dangerous was out there. She could feel her chest tighten just a little in the thin air, and looked at the landing party. Commander Peters was not looking so well.
"Before we do anything else," Lieutenant Alyl interjected. "I insist we all put on our oxygen masks. We can't afford anyone passing out or dying on this mission.?
At that moment, as if on cue, Peters dropped to his knees and folded into a neat pile on the ground.
"Get an oxygen mask on him now!? Seal ordered.
T?Mur, who had already started to move towards the 2O was there. She retrieved his breather and put it over his mouth and nose. The commander began to breath a little easier, but the lack of air pressure was still clearly giving him some discomfort.

Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 20:34:12 -0500
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge- COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory - 1127)
Gregory kept monitoring and readjusting his calculations as they got
closer to the Sharlayan ship.After a few hours, they finally came
abreast with the generational ship.
?The USS Holmgrim found a small building on the surface that was used
for an airlock to the habitable portions of the ship.Find that building
and send the coordinates to transporter room one and two,? the Captain
called.
Gregory, meanwhile was trying to get more information about the system
sending the signal.Finding the transmitter, he took a small part of the
scanners and did some scanning around the area.First blush suggested
some damage to the area around the transmitter.
Science verified the airlock had breathable atmosphere and the Captain
activated his intercom, "Doctor Solice, Assistant Chief Lee, Engineering
officer Alantar and Operations Chief Gregory meet me in transporter room
one with a security detail for primary insertion into the Sharlayan ship."
Gregory was surprised to be called.However, he was eager for an away
mission.Standing up, he grabbed his repair kit.?SPOTS, stay,? he said to
his robot companion.
Meanwhile, Ensign Sh?ash, a Caitian that joined at Mars stepped up.?Ms.
Sh?ash, you have operations.I?m just a com call away.Make sure to
monitor the power fluctuations this close to the generational
ship.Coordinate with science to scan the surface of the ship, see what
we can learn.?
?Yes sir,? she said with a singsong.
He walked quickly to turbolift, entering after the Captain.The doors
closed and they were whisked away to deck 4.
(USS Illuminar- Deck 4- Transporter Room 1- COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory)
Gregory took the phaser and tricorder offered to him.He checked the
phaser setting and clipped the holster to his side.Slinging the kit
across his back, he opened the tricorder to confirm settings as he moved
to his position on the transporter pad.
The familiar hum of the transport cycle filled his ears.Moments later he
found himself in a room.The lights increased in brightness as the team
moved away.Gregory immediately flipped open the tricorder and started
scanning.
?The asteroid is confirmed as a type S.I?m reading significant deposits
of iron and nickel, as well as the usual elements found in type S,? he
reported. As he started to walk around the room, on the wall with the
light-colored door, he stopped.
Staring at the wall, he noticed a faint straight line.Moving his scanner
to focus on the area, it appeared to be a metal plate, and there was
empty space behind it.With his hand, he gently traced the edge of the
metal plate.
?Sir,? he called out, ?I found what looks like an access panel.?

Standing watch was always an exercise in fighting boredom.Especially
when the ship was under warp.He watched on the screen as the Illuminar
came close to the asteroid they were chasing.
Orders were relayed and several bridge officers headed into the turbolift.
As the doors closed, his com chimed, ?Alpha 1 Security, report to
transporter room 1.Get to the Armory first and sign out a phaser.Keung
assigned himself to lead Alpha 1.?
Devers tapped his com ?Devers acknowledges.?Nodding to his partner, he
entered the turbolift and made his way to the designated transporter.?
The away team got assembled on the transporter pad and were transported
to the alien ship.
(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building?PO3 Hercules Devers ? 1206)
Devers put his hand close to his phaser and started scanning the area.He
didn?t see anything out of the ordinary.The air smelled stale.He moved
closer to the Captain, just in case something attacked.
Ensign Lee pointed to the other two security officers and motioned them
towards the door.
Devers nodded to his colleagues, as he listed to the reports coming in
from the officers scanning the area.

"Aye sir," Jaton said, turning back to the science station. "Ensign

joined T'Mur, Trei, and Peters at the turbolift.
(USS Illuminar - Deck 4, Transporter Room 2 - CSO Lieutenant (jg) Jaton

Jaton walked through the door without ceremony, checking through the bag
slung over his shoulder, making sure he had all the equipment he needed. He
looked up and nodded at the other members of the away team. He took his
place on the transporter pad, and looked towards Commander Peters to take
the lead.
(reply Peters, any)
(Sharlayan Generation Ship - Airlock Building - CSO Lieutenant (jg) Jaton

As soon as he rematerialised, Jaton immediately began gasping. Apparently
calling the surface atmosphere "thin" was an understatement. Luckily he
came prepared. He pulled out an oxygen mask from his bag and placed it over
his mouth. He then doubled over, allowing himself to actually catch his
breath. As he did, he looked over and saw T'Mur scanning the surroundings,
not having affixed her mask yet. It reminded him how truly robust Vulcans
were. She and Sekal both acted like nothing was wrong.
"Tricorder reading?? Sekal asked.
?No signs of life on the surface Captain,? T?Mur reported. ?The lighting
appears to be automated, but there is no exact source of the power.
Temperature is five degrees celsius. Air quality is breathable but thin.
Air pressure is 0.315 of the air pressure on the Illuminar. Gravity is 0.9
standard. The only real, readable power source comes from that building
there,? she pointed to a building about 20 meters away.
"Before we do anything else," Jaton said, standing back up, "I insist we
all put on our oxygen masks. We can't afford anyone passing out or dying on
this mission."

When Quinna returned, she was already in her office within 30 minutes of
her return. She gave herself just enough time to slip into her quarters,
drop off her belongings, and decide to go to sickbay. She avoided everyone
and headed to her office. Her usually open door was shut. And there she
stayed for a while. It had been a whirlwind of time away. She had left in
the middle of the night Now she was sitting in her office in sickbay. She
did not feel like unpacking and did not want to think about her grandmother
whom they buried. They had their differences as of late, she was happy
that the two were able to put their differences aside and be together.
There was much much more. Quinna was eager to find a friend and just
talk. (Though for the sake of not typing a lot, we will assume through the
miracle of story magic, she got there.)
Quinna looked up when an announcement was made. "Doctor Solice, Assistant
Chief Lee, Engineering officer Alantar and Operations Chief Gregory meet me
in transporter room one with a security detail for primary insertion into
the Sharlayan ship."
Quinna turned to her left. There she reached for her away mission medkit.

(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building-- EngO Ens (jg) Tycho
Alantar -- 12:04)
Immediately upon rematerializing, Tycho pulled his tricorder and
started getting readings. The lights had reacted to their presence,
that was obvious, but, where the reaction had started from and ended
could prove useful. He heard the conversations and commands as they
came, and kept his tongue until there was space. There were times for
being casual and lax, but an away mission required all of his
attentiveness and skills.
His gaze followed his scans as he found an energy line that led him...
?Sir,? Lt. Gregory called out, ?I found what looks like an access panel.?
...straight to the lieutenant.
Tycho moved over beside Dieter and continued scanning, adjusting the
tricorder to do a more intense scan around the found panel, speaking
as he worked, "I concur captain, I found an energy signature in the
floor and wall, lined right up to here, between this and the lights
reacting to us, we are very likely already known to the inhabitants."
(Reply any)
The captain would be the one to make final choices, but he had a job
that needed doing, so he kept working while adding to the
conversation, "The energy is on low power I suspect, sir, the lights
being dimmed would be a good indication of that. Why waste energy on
something you aren't using?"
Tycho tried communicating via the tricorder with the panel, in an
attempt to open the nearby airlock. He frowned, even though his
tricorder blipped positively, "Sir, anyone fluent in... well, whatever
this is?"
He offered the tricorder to the senior officers, showing the Sharlayan
language scrolling down the screen.

RPG:
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building-- CO, Captain Sekal- 1208)
Both away teams had transported down simultaneously and at his call for
tricorder scans they began snapping them off like a well choreographed
symphony. Sekal was impressed with the professionalism but unsurprised by
it. His officer corps had been hand picked by him including T'Mur and
Alantar though he had done so 'behind the scenes' in a manner of speaking.
Counselor Trei reported to the ship that she was detecting signs of life
aboard which was welcome news.
?No signs of life on the surface Captain,? T?Mur reported. ?The lighting
appears to be automated, but there is no exact source of the power.
Temperature is five degrees celsius. Air quality is breathable but thin.
Air pressure is 0.315 of the air pressure on the Illuminar. Gravity is 0.9
standard. The only real, readable power source comes from that building
there,? she then pointed toward an adjacent building through a window.
?The asteroid is confirmed as a type S. I?m reading significant deposits
of iron and nickel, as well as the usual elements found in type S,?
Lieutenant Gregory reported.
?Sir,? he called out, ?I found what looks like an access panel.?
"I concur captain, I found an energy signature in the floor and wall, lined
right up to here, between this and the lights
reacting to us, we are very likely already known to the inhabitants."
Ensign Alantar called out.
"Indeed. It is logical to infer that the automated sensors have informed
them of our arrival." The Captain agreed.
"The energy is on low power I suspect, sir, the lights being dimmed would
be a good indication of that. Why waste energy on something you aren't
using?" Alantar spoke contemplatively as he scanned the aperture.
Sekal walked quickly to the engineer. The security personnel for both teams
had split their duties with half standing guard at the door Gregory and
Alantar were working at and the others giving most of their attention to
the airlock.
"Sir, anyone fluent in... well, whatever
this is?"
"Before we do anything else," Lieutenant Alyl interjected. "I insist we all
put on our oxygen masks. We can't afford anyone passing out or dying on
this mission."
His words proved prophetic for as Sekal turned to him to agree and make it
an order Commander Peters folded unconscious to the ground. "Get an oxygen
mask on him now!"
(Reply: Any)
"Everyone put on their masks." Sekal snapped then put on the one he had
been issued and tapped his combadge. "This is the Captain, transport
Commander Peters directly to sickbay. After he regains consciousness I want
a full physical workup performed."
=^= Transporter Room one acknowledges. Beaming him up now. =^=
Everyone stepped back from Carson and he soon disappeared into the
transporter beam.
Sekal then turned back to the matter at hand, striding quickly to Alantar.
"We do not have the time for a delicate operation. Remove the panel to
access the circuitry directly and override it."
(Reply: Alantar)
Dieter Gregory was standing nearby so the Vulcan gave him his attention.
"Lieutenant Gregory I am placing you in command of Away Team 2. Should the
teams get separated you will have control and report to me directly."
(Reply: Gregory)
The Vulcan watched as the panel was opened and Alantar used the tricorder
to trace the circuitry, glancing away at intervals to verify there were no
other issues, everyone had put on their masks but the available oxygen
wouldn't last for more than fifteen minutes.
At last the door began to open but with a groan of protest. It stopped only
about three quarters open.
There was plenty of room though for Hammons and the other security officer
to slide through which they did then stepped to either side of the portal.
"All clear here Captain. It's safe to enter." Hammons reported.
Sekal motioned for Ensign Lee to precede him to take oversight of the entry
of the away teams.
(Reply: Lee)
Sekal slipped through while pondering the decrepit state of the systems
they had found so far. The asteroid ship was showing signs of advanced age
and breaking down which did not bode well for the inhabitants. This lent
further urgency to their mission.
They had stepped into a small access chamber that led to a staircase going
down into the asteroid ship. The lighting on the ceiling was intermittent
as though some segments of it had become inactive. It extended down for
approximately thirty meters to another door. Sekal motioned to the security
officers to precede him then waited for Lieutenant Gregory to come through.
"Try to get that door closed but don't take an inordinate amount of time in
doing so. There is an interior door but we have no idea how much strain the
gap may make on their life support systems. The airlock itself is
functioning at less than optimal levels."
(Reply: Gregory)
"Suggestions on how to proceed?" Lieutenant Trei had just come through the
door.
"Continue to monitor the life forms you are sensing Counselor. If you note
any changes advise Lieutenant Gregory."
(Reply: Trei iyw)
Having given the orders he began following the security contingent down the
staircase with Away Team one on his heels.

They all were gathered under the archway that seemed to lead to the power sources. T?Mur was monitoring the landscape. Just because there was no scanner reading for life, it did not mean that nothing dangerous was out there. She could feel her chest tighten just a little in the thin air, and looked at the landing party. Commander Peters was not looking so well.
"Before we do anything else," Lieutenant Alyl interjected. "I insist we all put on our oxygen masks. We can't afford anyone passing out or dying on this mission.?
At that moment, as if on cue, Peters dropped to his knees and folded into a neat pile on the ground.
"Get an oxygen mask on him now!? Seal ordered.
T?Mur, who had already started to move towards the 2O was there. She retrieved his breather and put it over his mouth and nose. The commander began to breath a little easier, but the lack of air pressure was still clearly giving him some discomfort.

Following Lieutenant Alyl?s warning, Gregory donned his oxygen mask. The
warning came none to soon as Commander Peters fell to the ground.
The Captain arranged for him to be transported to sickbay before coming
over to where he and Ensign Alantar were scanning the area around the
access panel he had found.The engineer had traced power conduits coming
to the panel.
?We do not have time for a delicate operation.Remove the panel to access

?Lieutenant Gregory I am placing you in command of Away Team 2. Should
the teams get separated you will have control and report to me directly.?
Dieter felt everyone?s eyes on him as the Captain placed him in charge.
Swallowing the fear that came over him, he nodded.?Aye, Sir.?
He quickly glanced around the room and made brief eye contact with the
members of Away team 2 including Ensign T?Mur, Ensign Matrix from
engineering, the Counselor and Lieutenant Alyl from science along with
three security officers.
He walked over to Ensign T?Mur, ?Your recommendations on security
distribution will be most welcome, Ensign,? he said softly.
(Reply T?Mur)
He kept his tricorder on, recording while Ensign Alantar finished
overriding the Sharlayan?s controls.The door opened with a groan, but
not fully.
Watching while the security team cleared the space before letting the
rest of the members of the away team enter the space.Gregory grabbed his
toolkit before proceeding through the door.
?Try to get that door closed, but don?t take an inordinate amount of

said.?Ensign T?Mur, can you do a scan of the area looking for any sort

(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building- SO, Ensign T?Mur- 1211)
T?Muir caught Gregory?s gaze and nodded back at him, acknowledging that she heard the captions orders. He walked over to her and spoke softly.
?Your recommendations on security distribution will be most welcome, Ensign.?
?Sir,? T?Mur paused for a moment. ?We are one to one ratio with security to personnel. I would have a security officer pair up with a non-security officer as a personal body guard, in case we get separated. Then my next course would, of course, to not get separated from the main party. If I may Lieutenant, are you aware of what our purpose for being here is? I am not speaking existentially sir. I am ? curious why we have such a large landing party for this, for lack of a better way of putting it, first contact.?
(reply Gregory)
The engineering team on the door managed to get it to open about three quarters of the way. Hammond went to work with two others to pry the door open further. It eventually gave way and slid open allowing everyone else to enter the airlock.
"Try to get that door closed but don't take an inordinate amount of time in doing so,? the captain ordered. "There is an interior door but we have no idea how much strain the gap may make on their life support systems. The airlock itself is functioning at less than optimal levels.?
?Copy that, Sir,? Gregory replied.
He turned to the remainder of the team left to close the door and said, ?Ensign Matrix, let?s see what we can do about this door.? Then he turned to T?Muir and said, ?Ensign T?Mur, can you do a scan of the area looking for any sort of sensors or other devices that might be of concern.?
?Aye sir,? T?Muir replied and pulled out her tricorder. As she scanned she could not find anything, until she discovered a small power out let, caked under layers of dust, grime and corrosion. She rubbed at the outlet until it revealed a blinking red light. Next to the red light was a green button and switch. Further removal of dirt revealed writing. There was something oddly familiar about the writing but she could not quite visualize what it was. Still, the light and the switch became the focus.
?Lieutenant,? she called over her shoulder without moving, ?I have something here. As she continued to clean away the grime from the crevice of the switch it moved. Without intention, she moved the switch and there was a hum and the sound of pneumatics working. T/Mur looked over at the door way and watched as it started to close.
Reacting quickly she reached out and pulled Picard out of the doorway as it started to slide faster. Then the door closed with a solid thunk. The overhead lights flickered and came on brighter than before. There was another hum, and T?Mur could feel the flow of air on her exposed skin. She scanned the air and pulled off her breather.
?Whatever I did, apparently started an air circulation unit,? she reported. The air pressure is regulating, and energy readings are showing up throughout the building.?

ILLUMINARRPG: (3 - 1212)EngO Ensign (jg) Tycho Alantar
From: loriwinterhoff at gmail.com (Lorenz Winterhoff)
Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2021 00:58:29 -0800
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(Sharlayan Generation Ship - Airlock Building - EngO Ensign (jg) Tycho
Alantar - 1212)
Tycho had watched the commander go down from the corner of his eye. He
wasn't close enough to catch him, and he had another job to do though,
so he kept his attention on the panel. Without being able to translate
what was feeding into his tricorder, he had little chance of getting
anywhere.
~Maybe if I say I'm a friend?~ Tycho's smile picked up one side of his
face, he'd still need someone who spoke the local language in order to
make himself understood, he somehow didn't expect the locals to speak
Elvish. He had only a short amount of time before his own stamina
would wane and he'd need to pause to actually put on the oxygen mask.
He'd heard the order to don masks, but calculated that he'd be more
use taking advantage of many physically gruelling hours of training.
He was no champion in the category of holding one's breath, but he'd
managed to stay standing with a Klingon Pain Stick in his side before,
so a few extra seconds without his mask before changing focus was
nothing.
The Captain came back over quickly after dealing with the fainted
officer, his tone brooking no challenge, "We do not have the time for
a delicate operation. Remove the panel to access the circuitry
directly and override it."
Tycho nodded, "Yes, sir," and, grabbing Lt. Gregory's kit, went ham on
the panel seam, quickly getting in with a multiphasic cutting tool.
>From there, the circuitry was fairly intuitive, almost simplistic,
like someone had followed the manual exactly. ~Feels like one of my
Cadets did this work.~ Tycho set that wry thought aside for later and
found the door circuitry. After a quick scan to check, he connected
the attachments that opened the door, which groaned with age and lack
of use, potentially even dust in the tracks.
For a second while the security team made their checks, Tycho tried to
take a few more readings and get a better sense of the tech, so the
next door would be easier to manage, it felt ancient in a way that old
castles felt ancient, and Tycho wondered where these people had been,
and the stories the might tell.
Once the access point was deemed safe, Tycho had finished his survey
as best he could, donned his mask and tucked his tools away in their
specific pockets. His phaser was holstered, but he took it out anyhow
and rechecked that it was at low power before returning it to his
side. Before they started moving his tricorder was back in his hand
and he followed the captain down the stairwell. Halfway down, he felt
the subtle shift of air movement as T'Mur, the Vulcan security
officer, tripped a switch.
Tycho beelined himself down to the panel, almost grunting out, "Thanks
for warning us," at the Vulcan. Her curiosity could have cycled them
all out with the atmo with the door unsealed, but he kept himself in
check. It didn't pay to get in a fight with a Romulan OR a Vulcan, one
would beat you with subversiveness, the other with plain bullheaded
logic. They weren't dead either, so he had no reason to stew.
(Reply T'Mur IYW)
He scanned the circuitry and looked back at the Captain, "Air
recycling, sir. Previously shut down. Likely same reason as the rest
of this ancient acropolis."
(Reply T'Mur, Sekal, any)
With nothing else special about that panel other than the covering of
ick, Tycho continued to the next spot his tricorder indicated. With
the air recycling working, he now had better lay lines to find access
panels. ~Happy accidents.~ He took out his phaser for a second and set
it to a wide beam, but only enough power to shear away the fuzz from
the screen and controls, revealing what looked to be a diagnostics
engineering station "Captain, This may be a good place to start."
Even before the captain made his way over, Tycho was already working
on the panel.

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 4? Sickbay? Nurse Kathy Miller? 1212)
Kathy had spent the morning in nervous excitement with little to do except
treat two cases of allergies that had cropped up. Having the doctor leave
the ship during mission wasn't unusual but it was certainly dramatic. She
didn't anticipate any problems and was determined to carry on as normal.
That was until she received the hail.
=^= Transporter room one to sickbay. I'm beaming Commander Peters directly
to your treatment ward.=^=
She slapped the comm on the terminal in near panic. "What's wrong with him?"
=^= No idea. Captain's orders. He wants a full physical workup after he
comes to.=^=
She immediately called for orderlies and rushed to the nearby ward where
transport was already in progress then stood stupefied as he appeared on
the floor of the ward wearing on oxygen supplement mask.
"Get him on a biobed and be quick about it!" She snapped as the two men
hurried in then sprang to do as directed.
Kathy was out of her element and she knew it, had she been otherwise minded
the nervous trembling in her arms and legs would have given it away. She
hovered over the orderlies as they picked him up as gently as possible and
moved him to the nearest bed and stretched him out on it then stepped back
to give her room.
She spoke without thinking. "Luma activate the EMH."
There was a shimmer in the air nearby which solidified into a balding man
wearing a teal uniform. His dark eyes went to Kathy after a moment. "What's
the emergency?"
"I don't know. Commander Peters was just transported here like this." She
pointed to him, her finger trembling.
"Everyone get back." He snapped at the orderlies who retreated then moved
to the biobed and activated it.
Kathy moved to the other side and watched nervously for a few seconds then
reached out to take off the mask. The Commanders breathing had settled but
was still labored.
"Stop!" The EMH snapped and she withdrew her hand. "The oxygen mask is
there for a reason and it won't hurt him. Leave it there until I can make a
determination."
She nodded and took a deep breath. The EMH was very lifelike, his eyes
watched as the monitor came online. His look was focused, severe and
perhaps a bit concerned.
Once the display came online various readings began cycling through as he
made adjustments.
"Blood oxygen level depressed but rising. Blood pressure low but coming up.
Heart rate dropping to normal level." His eyes snapped to Kathy.
"Apparently in an oxygen deficient environment. Should I be expecting more
patients?"
"I don't think so. If so I should have heard by now. The Captain has two
away teams down, Doctor Solice is on one of them."
The EMH looked back at the screen then down at Carson Peters. "If he is the
only one that succumbed then it points to the possibility of an underlying
issue."
"The Captain wants a full physical workup on him." She interjected.
"Then he isn't stupid. I concur." The EMH turned his full attention to her.
"I'm going to give him a completely monitored physical. I also want blood
drawn for the full gamut of tests followed by imaging. If there's a problem
I'm going to find it."
He took the oxygen mask off as the blood gases stabilized. "Get hopping
nurse. I don't have all day."
Following his orders Kathy rushed off to get the equipment for the blood
draw.

ILLUMINARRPG: (3 - 1214) Security PO3 Hercules Devers
From: dieter.gregory1701 at gmail.com (Dieter Gregory)

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(Sharlayan Generation Ship ? Airlock Building ? Security PO3 Hercules
Devers ? 1214)
Devers keep his head on a swivel, staying close to the Captain.Close to
act, but not smothering him.This reminded him of horror novels he?s read
in the past, a musty old room, no obvious occupants and things turning
on and off.
Of course, it could be due to the lack of oxygen.While wearing the
breather, they were only for short-term use, and if things got dicey, it
would run out really quick.He hoped the transporter room was keeping a
lock on the away team.
When Commander Peters went down, Devers whipped around looking for a
cause.When it was quickly determined it was probably the low oxygen
levels.He was beamed back to the ship.
In the meanwhile, the engineers got a door open and the away teams
passed through it into another room.
After a few moments, the Captain ordered the away team forward, down the
stairs.Devers looked to Ensign Lee, and made sure his body was in front
of the Captain. Phaser out in one hand, and his retractable baton in the
the other.
And down the stairs they went.

?Then my next course would, of course, to not get?separated from the

?Excellent, make it so Ms. T?Mur.Let?s pair up the team with security.As
soon as we finish here, well catch up to the Captain and away team one,?
Gregory replied.?As for why we have a large landing party, that is a
good question.The Captain didn?t share his thoughts with me, so I can
only speculate that he is anticipating the Sharlayan?s are going to need
a lot of help, which is why we have a pair of engineers to at least
assess the situation. You can feel the age of this system. Of course,
the show of force may be due to us being heavily outnumbers, and not
knowing what we?re walking into.?
Gregory looked around, ?Where is the Counselor?? he asked, ?She was
right here.?
The security officer next to him pulled out her tricorder, ?Sir, she
seems to have gone ahead with the Captain.?
Gregory nodded, ?Please let Ensign Lee know that the Counselor is with
the Captain?s party.Let?s finish up here and be ready to move forward.?
?Lieutenant,? he heard T?Mur call.He moved over to her as she continued.
?I?have something here.?
He watched as she cleaned the grime away from the crevice.Suddenly there
was a hum and the sound of pneumatics working. Gregory turned to see the
doorway was starting to shut.
A hum started and the air started circulating.?Whatever?I?did,
apparently started an air circulation unit,? T?Mur said.
Ensign Alantar moved over to where the crevice was, ?Thanks for the
warning,? he said to T?Mur as he bent down to start exploring the switch.
?Whatever?I?did, apparently started an air circulation unit,??T?Mur
repored. ?The air pressure is regulating, and energy?readings are
showing up throughout the building.?
Gregory checked his readings, ?Concur.Let?s see what other mysteries can
be revealed,? he said as Ensign Alantar took out his phaser and fired at
something.
?Ensign, a little warning please?? Gregory said.
His phaser blast cleaned up what looked like control station, as Gregory
approached, Alantar spoke, ?Sir, this may be a good place to start.?
Gregory nodded, ?Let?s get those panels off and see what we can find.?
Tapping his com badge, ?Captain, door is sealed and we found and

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(Kal'Shar- Entry Complex-- CO, Captain Sekal- 1218)
The walls of the staircase they were following down were rough hewn and
unfinished which was to be expected. Far more work would have gone into
preparing the asteroid for habitation than in such detail work.
Their steps on the rough steps were muffled in the thin air. The security
details had been set up by the assistant chief of security and while their
numbers were perhaps more than needed Sekal had deferred to him in that
matter, there had also been the question of using numbers to help find
survivors if any. The fact that Counselor Trei had sensed living beings was
encouraging.
Looking back he noted that the Counselor had joined Away Team 1 and his
engineer was missing. Looking farther he saw that engineer had stopped back
up the stairs and Away Team 2 was coming down.
=^= Air recycling, sir. Previously shut down. Likely same reason as the
rest of this ancient acropolis. =^=
Sekal activated the comm. "Acknowledged."
=^= Captain, door is sealed and we found and activated an air circulation
system. Ensign Alantar has found what looks like an engineering panel. We
are attempting to get it working to see what we can learn. =^=
Sekal pulled off his oxygen mask at that and could feel the movement of air
on his face. "Understood. It is logical to conserve power when not using
it, especially on such a long voyage. This ship gives evidence of great
age."
He glanced back, the door was not very far ahead. "We will no doubt find
the answers ahead of us. The Counselor has detected living beings. Their
engineering systems are ahead of us as well. They will be able to direct
us. Away Team 1 is continuing forward. I will expect you to catch up."
(Reply" Gregory, Alantar)
With that he turned and continued down the stairs.
(Kal'Shar- Entry Complex-- CO, Captain Sekal- 1225)
Away Team 1 was in a cavernous hallway. The doors had opened smoothly to
the security contingent who had quickly reconoitered. Steven Hammons was
looking at a tricorder he had activated, his rifle was hanging from a strap
around his neck and shoulders and could be quickly grabbed. He turned to
the right as he scanned.
"Life forms in this direction Captain, a lot of them, at least several
dozen in the immediate vicinity. About one hundred and fifty feet."
There was a large doorway in that direction that appeared to have a curtain
or tapestry drawn across it. The walls of this tunnel were finished and
smooth and there were a number of lighted panels inset into them. The
lighting in this tunnel was subdued and Sekal began to wonder if thay had
come here during the Sharlayans night cycle.
"Clustered together?"
"No sir. They are spread out and moving around. I'm reading four coming in
our direction."
"It appears our arrival may have finally prompted a reaction."
Sekal moved toward the curtain which was drawn to the side before he
arrived. The four Sharlayan natives moved into the hallway and spread out
facing him. There was some type of pistol grip device hung at their sides.
In stature they were only slightly taller than five feet, the tallest being
perhaps 5'6". Their hair were of the normal variety of hues but their eyes
were of particular interest. The pupils were the color of gems, ruby,
sapphire, carnelian and amethyst. Not what one would expect.
"You are from outside." The taller one spoke. It wasn't a question. The
universal translator had no trouble relaying the message.
"Yes. We picked up your distress call. I am Captain Sekal of the USS
Illuminar. I also have other business with your Admiral."
The four exchanged glances then the taller one spoke again. "A Captain?
Have you come to bring harm?"
"No. Our mission is peaceful."
The being looked beyond him. "Yet I perceive you have brought many weapons."
"We did not know what we would find here. Your distress call could have
been set long ago. We feared we may have been too late."
As the being considered his words his companions shuffled nervously. The
Away Team outnumbered the welcome party by a great deal.
"There is a table beyond the doorway. I would ask you to leave your weapons
there. I will not take you to our Admiral unless you do so." Having said
that he turned and disappeared beyond the curtain followed by his
companions.
Sekal followed into an expansive room that had once been richly decorated.
Its colors were now muted though having dulled over time. Flags and banners
hung on the walls were now only pale shadows of what they had once been.
The table in the center of the room was large and surrounded by many low
chairs. Sekal walked to it as he took the phaser from his belt and set it
down atop it then moved aside and began walking about the room as he
studied its accouterments.
The one who had spoken got his attention. "I am Rhyssa, I am of operations
in the clan of the Keepers. I will tell the Admiral of your desire to speak
with him."
The Sharlayan moved through another door which his three companions
stationed themselves before. They stood attentive and straight as the last
of the Away Team entered. Sekal returned to inspecting the various banners
and display cases of mementos.

"Life forms in this direction Captain, a lot of them, at least several dozen in the immediate vicinity. About one hundred and fifty feet."
There was a large doorway in that direction that appeared to have a curtain or tapestry drawn across it. The walls of this tunnel were finished and smooth and there were a number of lighted panels inset into them. The lighting in this tunnel was subdued and Sekal began to wonder if thay had come here during the Sharlayans night cycle.
"Clustered together?"
"No sir. They are spread out and moving around. I'm reading four coming in our direction."
"It appears our arrival may have finally prompted a reaction."
Sekal moved toward the curtain which was drawn to the side before he arrived. The four Sharlayan natives moved into the hallway and spread out facing him. There was some type of pistol grip device hung at their sides. In stature they were only slightly taller than five feet, the tallest being perhaps 5'6". Their hair were of the normal variety of hues but their eyes were of particular interest. The pupils were the color of gems, ruby, sapphire, carnelian and amethyst. Not what one would expect.
"You are from outside." The taller one spoke. It wasn't a question. The universal translator had no trouble relaying the message.
"Yes. We picked up your distress call. I am Captain Sekal of the USS Illuminar. I also have other business with your Admiral."
The four exchanged glances then the taller one spoke again. "A Captain? Have you come to bring harm?"
"No. Our mission is peaceful."
The being looked beyond him. "Yet I perceive you have brought many weapons."
"We did not know what we would find here. Your distress call could have been set long ago. We feared we may have been too late."
As the being considered his words his companions shuffled nervously. The Away Team outnumbered the welcome party by a great deal.
"There is a table beyond the doorway. I would ask you to leave your weapons there. I will not take you to our Admiral unless you do so." Having said that he turned and disappeared beyond the curtain followed by his companions.
Sekal followed into an expansive room that had once been richly decorated. Its colors were now muted though having dulled over time. Flags and banners hung on the walls were now only pale shadows of what they had once been.?
The table in the center of the room was large and surrounded by many low chairs. Sekal walked to it as he took the phaser from his belt and set it down atop it then moved aside and began walking about the room as he studied its accouterments.
The one who had spoken got his attention. "I am Rhyssa, I am of operations in the clan of the Keepers. I will tell the Admiral of your desire to speak with him."
The Sharlayan moved through another door which his three companions stationed themselves before. They stood attentive and straight as the last of the Away Team entered. Sekal returned to inspecting the various banners and display cases of mementos.

?Acknowledged Sir.? Gregory replied, before turning his attention to
Ensign Alantar.
?Ok, let?s see what we can learn Ensign,? Gregory said as he scanned the
console.?Can you get the power fired up to this Mr. Alantar??
(Reply Alantar)
While Gregory waited for Alantar to fully restore the power, he
continued to scan the panel, recording the internal structure, such as
it was, for later analysis.
?Ms. T?Mur, anything else out of the ordinary that you have seen or that
your scans are showing??

?That is interesting.Very interesting indeed,? he replied.

Penny had been assigned to away team two at the last moment. It seemed her recent transfer to Science had caused a few last minute hiccups.
She had quickly ran to catch up with the away team before they beamed down. But had not been able to speak with the away team leader. Until they had fizzled off the Illuminar and onto the Sharlayan vessel.
? Excuse me?? Penny said softly to Gregory

Gregory looked up and saw a young science officer in front of him.

(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building- SO, Ensign T?Mur- 1223)
T?Mur had been monitoring the conversations in the background as she continued to scan the room. She found another patch of text that was only slightly covered by years of neglect and grime. She cleaned off a section and recorded what she had uncovered. She began to compare it to the section around the switch that had closed the door and started the atmospheric generators. And still, in the back of her mind there was something familiar about it.
On Vulcan, as her parents were in the upper echelon of the Merchant?s guild, she had been exposed to many languages. The guild had recognized that she did have a talent for recognizing and decoding language structures and had her studying xenolinguistics. She had been exposed to several thousand different languages and their genomic representations. The Vulcan language, itself, was a complex language with an even more challenging written form.
Gregory had turned his attention towards her as she appeared to be focused on the wall.
?Ms. T?Mur, anything else out of the ordinary that you have seen or that your scans are showing?? he asked.
T?Mur shook her head, ?Not at this time sir, but I am starting to get an idea about this Charlatan language. I just need some more data to put together similar symbols that might help be create a primmer."
?That is interesting. Very interesting indeed,? he replied.
?Indeed,? she agreed.
Ensign McTaggard made her presence known and Gregory had ordered her to report to T?Mur, although she had no idea why. Technically McTaggard had been transferred to the science department. However, another body studying this technology could not hurt.
?Ending McTaggard,? T?Mur nodded to her, ?how are your linguistic skills? I am trying to decipher what this panel is for. You see this symbol?? She pointed to a symbol that looked like a squiggle line with a line through it and a symbol over and under. ?I saw the same symbol by the switch over there. I am certain that it is a power symbol. The question is, what is it delivering power to.?

When they made it to a group of Sharlayans, her empathic senses spiked a bit.? They were guarded against us which she understood , but she wanted to get to know them more.? She tried to send soothing vibes to the group so they might be willing to talk with her.? She kept her oxygen mask on until she could breathe freely.
"I am Ariel Trei the ACOUNS ACMO? LT JG on the Illuminar.? I am the counselor on the ship.? I am half Betazoid and Half Klingon.? I would like to talk with you about your culture if you let me."

ILLUMINARRPG: (3-1231)- Sec'or 2 of the Keeper Clan, Geehoff
From: amuir at sanjuan.edu (Al Muir)
Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2021 22:34:19 +0000
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(Kal-Shar Entry complex - open hallway - Sec'or 2 of the Keeper Clan, Geehoff ? 12.31)
Geehoff stood his watch with as much of an air of authority as he could muster. He was only a sector 2, but wanted to make sec'or 1 soon. His father had been sector boss and he knew that it would have brought him a sense of pride to see his offspring make it to that level. But Geehoof was still young and had plenty of time, but still he was anxious for his promotion. He had some difficult competition in the ranks felt that he could hold his own against some of the more experienced se?cor.
A strange wave cam over his mind. It was almost disorienting. The strength in his knees started to give way before he caught himself. He had never sensed anything like that before. At first it made him angry to feel a moment of weakness. Then he was curious as to the cause of the sudden sensation, blaming the outsiders. That started to make him angry too. But the wave kept asking him to relax and be calm. It was most disconcerting.
One of the outsiders approached Geehoff. It was an odd looking creature. Some of its features were much like their own. It was different from the others outsiders though. One of the others had a similar body type, making Geehoff wonder what the purpose of the body shape differences was. Perhaps they were male/females. Interesting distinctions. But this one was ever different in the face. Even though it was much taller than he was he felt it was not large for their species. It had dark hair and a darker complexion than the others. Much like their leader. Were they of a similar clan? But it had ridges on its forehead that the others did not. Did this make it inferior or superior to the others. His initial assumption was inferior, as the leader did not have them, and the other of similar body shape did not. Then it spoke.
"I am Ariel Trei the ACOUNS ACMO LT JG on the Illuminar. I am the counselor on the ship. I am half Betazoid and Half Klingon. I would like to talk with you about your culture if you let me.?
Then it sat down, which was an odd thing to do. Did it expect him to do the same? He needed to know more of these outsiders, so decided to follow her lead. He sat across from it look upon it with curiosity, and trying to remember the entirety of its name.
?Greetings Areltray of the Acounsacmo lootenantjg of the Illuminar clan,? he replied. Then he sat up proudly, ?I am Geehoff, Se?cor 2 of the Keeper clan.? The rest of the introduction was beyond his comprehension since he had no idea what a Betazoid or a Klingon was. And how were able to behalf of one thing and half of another. Did it hurt to get cut in half that way and put back together? However the offer for conversation was clear, and he had been ordered to find out as much about these outsiders as he could.
?I will talk with you,? he said, ?and then I can learn about your culture. What would you like to know?"
(reply Trei)

"My Name is Ariel Trei. You may call me Ariel. I was not cut in half and put back together. I am half Betazoid because my Mother is Betazoid. I am Half Klingon because my father is Klingon. The marks on my forehead are the marks of a Klingon warrior. All Klingons have various marks. The marks I have are softer because I am not a full blooded Klingon. The wave you felt when I approached you was an empathic wave. Betazoids are very skilled in Telepathy and Empathy. Since I am not a full Betazoid my telepathy skills are not that strong but my empathic skills are very strong. I grew up on Betazed. Betazed is a beautiful planet full of flowers and green fields. What can you tell me of your culture??
Geehoff listened intently to what the outsider had to say, and as she spoke had a growing feeling of concern. He had not mentioned to her his thoughts of her being half one creature and half of another. He knew there had to be a better explanation but would never have voiced such a concern without more information to back it up. Then the words she used, were so confusing. Betazoid? Klinger? What are these things? She said she had softer marks because of her blood. Although parts of her looked fairly soft he was certain that her soft marks were well covered by her clothing.
Then she mentioned this thing called telepathy and empathy. She was using some kind of weapon to control their minds and emotions. He jumped to his feet and reached for his weapon, all other words coming out of her mouth were ignored.
?You will cease your attempts at mind control and surrender you mind control weapon,? he demanded. ?Your leader,? he pointed to Sekal, ?claimed that you come in peace. You were asked to place ALL weapons on the table. Comply immediately.?

NRPG: Edward was taking a page from Riven's playbook here without having
his experience and when doing so we sometimes make mistakes. This is a good
lesson on when not to do this. Riven will not be influencing during the
negotiations, only reading the emotional states of those he is dealing
with. There are times you can influence and times you should not. First
contact and getting to know a race of people is the wrong time to try to
influence them. Use of that ability is very much situational. Just like
anything else it's learned over time.
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(Kal-Shar- Entry complex - Room of Remembrance ? CO, Captain Sekal- 12.32)
Sekal was looking at a medallion in one of the display cases which was
resting upon a background of plush red cloth. The case appeared to be
hermetically sealed so the color of the material was still vibrant. The
medallion itself was bronze in color and its bas relief depiction of a
space craft lifting off from the surface were highlighted by black.
He could hear the Counselor speaking with one of the natives, it was a
conversation which went sideways quickly.
?You will cease your attempts at mind control and surrender you mind
control weapon. Your leader claimed that you come in peace. You were asked
to place ALL weapons on the table. Comply immediately.?
Sekal turned slowly toward the two. The Sharlayan was brandishing its
weapon and the other two had hands on theirs as well. The situation could
escalate quickly if not handled delicately.
"We have come in peace as I said. The Counselor has no mind control weapon
on her. Counselor Trei please move slowly away from the Sharlayan and
return to the hallway."
(Reply: Trei)
Sekal continued to talk as she moved to hold the Sharlayans attention. "You
have my deepest apologies. The Counselor is the only one among my group who
can influence others from a short distance and her actions were not
carefully considered. My ship and crew have come to help your people and
your ship as friends and not as enemies."
(Reply: Sec'or)
"Our people have contacted yours once before many years ago. Thay came and
left as friends and this is also our intention. You have no need of your
weapon. We are not going to attack you." He saw Trei slip through the
tapestry to the hallway and turned back to the display case.

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers- Personal Quarters- The Admiral- 1235)
There was a light touch on his arm which didn't wake him initially. In his
sleep it felt like the touch of his mate and he smiled. It wasn't until
"Admiral" was spoken three times that he stirred and opened his eyes. His
hand automatically reached out to the side of the bed where she used to
sleep to find only cold sheets. Then his fogged brain remembered and his
eyes snapped open. He had lost her three cycles ago to a wasting sickness.
A figure was straightening up beside his bed back-lit by the open door. The
hand that had been reaching for his mate closed and he drew it back to him.
"What is it?"
"Admiral we have visitors from outside. Many of them. Their Captain wishes
to speak with you."
"From outside? And they chose the night cycle to visit." He grumbled and
shifted under the blanket. "Have hot chuka ready in the galley. And tell
our visitors I will be up shortly. Wake my son also."
"Yes Admiral, my pardons for disturbing you. Meeka is waking the Captain
now."
"Where are they now?"
"In the outer hall, the room of remembrance."
"Bring them to the room of decisions and have them wait. I will be with
them shortly."
Admiral Skeese turned on the light and got up quickly after Rhyssa left
despite his protesting joints which would warm up soon. His eyes drifted to
the other side of the bed longingly then away as he went to his closet to
change into his best uniform. Kal'Shar didn't get visitors often and he
wanted to look his best for the occasion.
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers-Galley- The Admiral- 1240)
He was bleary-eyed as he walked past several of his people who were buzzing
with talk until they saw him then quieted and straightened to stand stiffly
as he passed. He waved a hand at them in negation. "Go back to what you
were doing."
Those who had the night cycle saw him only rarely and that only when
something had gone terribly wrong during their tour. A few such accidents
had happened and they had been fatal. Skeese was at least glad this was not
one of these times.
He drew a cup of the bitter, dark brew as they began whispering among
themselves. He had been Captain the last time there had been visitors. It
had been a strange occasion and the tall beings had been very inquisitive
about Kal'Shar, even asking to get close to the engines with their small
boxes that made strange whistling noises. His father had of course declined
as there was much about Kal'Shar they could not be allowed to know.
He took a sip then forced himself to take another. The bitterness seemed
more pronounced tonight. He poured a little out and added water which
helped only slightly as well as cooling it just a bit.
If these visitors had come in response to his distress call how much should
he allow them to see?
"Father."
He finished the sip and turned to see the Captain enter. He also was
wearing his best. The three who had been in the galley slipped out so that
they could talk.
"Have they come in response to our call so soon?"
"So it appears." He replied.
"But how can that be? Distances in space are so vast. How can they move so
quickly?" Jeffe poured a cup of the brew for himself.
"I don't know. The last time I saw a visitor it was apparent their ways of
finding things out are far beyond us as well. Perhaps they will tell us but
I think not. Your grandfather asked them many questions they would not
answer."
Skeese thought about getting a piece of fruit to eat but decided he did not
have time. He didn't want to keep them waiting for too long so he took a
longer drink to empty the cup of the cooling brew then made another cup and
set off.

Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(Kal-Shar Entry complex ? Room of Remembrance ? Sec'or 2 of the Keeper Clan, Geehoff ? 12.39)
Geehoff saw a look of confusion go across this Ariel?s face. He did not understand her confusion. She had made an open act of aggression, and even admitted to it. He wanted her mind control weapon. Perhaps this was something that they could make use of.
The outsider layed her arms out and displayed her open hands. It appeared to be a gesture of openness, but it could also be a gesture of aggression.
"What you speak of is from my mind,? she said, her voice sounding sincere. "If you wish to talk openly, that would be the best way to continue.?
Little did Ariel know but she had just blown Geehoff?s mind. This creature had a weapon in her mind. How dangerous was she? And she looked so nice, almost pleasing.
Suddenly a voice came from beside them. It was the outsider?s leader. "We have come in peace as I said. The Counselor has no mind control weapon on her. Counselor Trei please move slowly away from the Sharlayan and return to the hallway."
(Reply: Trei)
Geehoff watched suspiciously as Trei made her way out of the room. He kept his watch on the closed curtain, concerned that such a method could be used, even from that distance.
Sekal continued to talk as she moved to hold the Sharlayans attention. "You have my deepest apologies. The Counselor is the only one among my group who can influence others from a short distance and her actions were not carefully considered. My ship and crew have come to help your people and your ship as friends and not as enemies."
Geehoff now turned his suspicious gaze on Sekal. ?I hear your words Captain Sekal of the Illuminar, and accept them as you are a Captain. This is a strange and wondrous ability, to be able to manipulate others with a mere thought. I accept that YOU come as a friend. But?"
"Our people have contacted yours once before many years ago,? Sekal went on to continue to reassure the Se?cor 2. "They came and left as friends and this is also our intention. You have no need of your weapon. We are not going to attack you."
Geehoff thought for a moment and then took a deep breath. He put his weapon in its place on his hip. ?I am familiar with the legend of the Holmgrim. It was before my time, and many believe it to be a tale that adults tell children when they have given up hope of ever getting to Haven. But I have studied this and seen the artifacts and know it to be true. The Holmgrim were our friends but that was a long time ago. And we do not know what happened, or why they never returned. Do you know, Captain Sekal, why they never returned??
(reply Sekal)
Geehoff thought about that response for a time. Then his mind went back to Ariel.
?I understand that Ariel Trei was not threatening,? Geehoff finally acquiesced. ?She is a young one, just like me. Perhaps I should speak with her, so we both have an understanding.?
(reply Sekal)
(Kal-Shar Entry complex ? Hallway ? Sec'or 2 of the Keeper Clan, Geehoff ? 12:43)
Geehoff stepped around the curtain and saw the counselor standing leaning against a wall. She did not look happy. He took a deep breath and stepped towards her.
?Ariel Trei,? he said formally, ?I understand you were not threatening me. A mistake was made. I would like to learn more about you, and what a Klinger is. Or even a Betazeder. I would like to understand. Please, come, let us talk more. But no more of this telephapy or emotional manipulation.?

Keung remain silent as he stood out of the way of the those present. There wasn?t anything really for the Security Officers to do as Keung perceived there was nothing on the threat board and he sent back the remaining members of Alpha 1 back to the ship but they were informed to be on alert. Alpha 2 were still out on the surface. He was quite impressed with the ship design. A lot of effort had gone into building the complex. He half paid attention to the conversation about him. There was a moment when one of the inhabitants had displayed a weapon and Keung was on alert the inhabitant - Geehof had replaced the weapon.

NRPG: I hope you don?t mind if I give you some words of advice as we write. Just some helpful tips. Notice that when I write I give information to the reader about what is going on in my character?s head. What they are thinking about above and beyond the actual moment of activity. This brings the character to life for the reader. In our heads we know our characters, but the readers do not.
Also, think about this, Geehoff left you with these lines:
Ariel Trei,? he said formally, ?I understand you were not threatening me. A mistake was made. I would like to learn more about you, and what a Klinger is. Or even a Betazeder. I would like to understand. Please, come, let us talk more. But no more of this telephapy or emotional manipulation.?
You may want to address the last thing said to your character. In your characters mind you completely ignored what they are saying. This would not lead them to a trusting relationship in which they would be willing to share their most intimate of thoughts. (Okay they might not share them anyway, but you get the idea.)
I might have addressed this from Ariel perspective, Check this out:
Ariel was leaning against the wall wondering what she could do to make the situation with the Sharalayan better. She had not meant any offense and had not realized how her actions were going to affect the conversation. She had a lot to learn still. Suddenly she noticed the curtain rustling and Geehoff stepped out. He moved towards her, but she could not sense any menace in his movement. In fact, she almost sensed friendship.
Ariel Trei,? he said formally, ?I understand you were not threatening me. A mistake was made. I would like to learn more about you, and what a Klinger is. Or even a Betazeder. I would like to understand. Please, come, let us talk more. But no more of this telephapy or emotional manipulation.?
She had to laugh as the Charlatan tried to work his mind around words that he had no comprehension of. She had to work and not chuckling.
?Oh I am so glad we understand each other,? she said softly. ?I made a horrible mistake and I promise I will not repeat it. I would love to talk more. And rest assured, there will be no manipulations of any kind.?
It adds so much to your characters? character. And readers will enjoy your writing so much more. It does take some time to learn this, but try a little more every time you post and you will find you enjoy writing a lot more. Anyway? time to stop being a teacher. Sorry I can?t help myself some times. Please let me know if you do not want any more advice. I am only trying to help.

(Kal-Shar Entry complex ? Room of Remembrance ? Sec'or 2 of the Keeper Clan, Geehoff ? 12.39)
Geehoff had expected some kind of formal apology, but it did not come. He thought it idd for a culture to readily insult another and not try to make amends. But clearly Ariel Trei wanted to just move past the moment, and at this point, Geehoff was willing to let. He led her back to the Room of Remembrance where they could continue their conversation.
They sat down at the table on two of the low chairs and faced each other. Geehoff could not get over how different she looked. It was almost mesmerizing. He wanted to reach out and touch her ridges, but that would have been quite rude. To be honest, he was starting to find the difference quite attractive.
"Thank you for talking with me,? Trei said. "You have my word of honor that I will not be using my empathic ability. I will start with what Betazed and Klingon is. Betazed is a planet I grew up on. People from that planet are called Betazoids. My mother is from Betazed. My father is from a planet called Quo'nos. The people from that planet are called Klingons. Tell me about yourself please.?
As she spoke he found himself trying to formulate the words Betazoid and Klingon with his mouth. Apparently they were off worlders of two completely different parts of the universe, and yet still they managed to come together and ? create young. He cocked his head to the side and began to wonder.
He realized that Ariel had stopped talking and it took has brain a moment to remember what the last words from her mouth.
?I do not have nearly the colorful genealogy that you do, Ariel,? he said her as if it had purpose. ?I am Geehoff, Sec?or 2. I am the son of Thad, who was a Sec?or Prime before his passing. My mother is Shaharoon, of the Gatherer clan. It was odd that their mating was allowed by the council, but it was, and here I am. I have been a Sec?or 2 for 5 full cycles, and hope to promote to Sec?or 1 in the next cycle or two.?
He paused, feeling that he was talking too much about himself. ?May I ask you about your? ridges? Do they hurt? Did it hurt when you got them? You are a female, are you not? Are you typical of ? half Be?ta?void and half Kling?on?? He paused again. ?I apologize. I do not mean to be so forward. My mother says I am too curious for my own good.?

Devers ? 1241)
Devers has been following the interactions between the Captain, the
Counselor and members of the Sharlayan. He was concerned when they were
asked to leave their weapons on some table.It went against everything he
was trained for, but he followed the Captain and Chief?s direction.
He tried to maintain a discrete distance from the Captain, ready to move
towards any threat.None came although it got a little tense there
between the Counselor and someone named Geehoff.
Fortunately, calmer heads prevailed as the Captain addressed the
Sharlayan?s.There was talk about another visit before the tension was
ratcheted down.They were now waiting for someone called the Admiral.
Time passed and the Chief came over to him, instructing him to return to
the ship.Devers shook his head, ?With respect Sir, I will remain to
stand guard over the Captain," he said softly.

Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers- Personal Quarters- The Admiral- 1244)
There was a light touch on his arm which didn't wake him initially. In his
sleep it felt like the touch of his mate and he smiled. It wasn't until
"Admiral" was spoken three times that he stirred and opened his eyes. His
hand automatically reached out to the side of the bed where she used to
sleep to find only cold sheets. Then his fogged brain remembered and his
eyes snapped open. He had lost her three cycles ago to a wasting sickness.
A figure was straightening up beside his bed back-lit by the open door. The
hand that had been reaching for his mate closed and he drew it back to him.
"What is it?"
"Admiral we have visitors from outside. Many of them. Their Captain wishes
to speak with you."
"From outside? And they chose the night cycle to visit." He grumbled and
shifted under the blanket. "Have hot chuka ready in the galley. And tell
our visitors I will be up shortly. Wake my son also."
"Yes Admiral, my pardons for disturbing you. Meeka is waking the Captain
now."
"Where are they now?"
"In the outer hall, the room of remembrance."
"Bring them to the room of decisions and have them wait. I will be with
them shortly."
Admiral Skeese turned on the light and got up quickly after Rhyssa left
despite his protesting joints which would warm up soon. His eyes drifted to
the other side of the bed longingly then away as he went to his closet to
change into his best uniform. Kal'Shar didn't get visitors often and he
wanted to look his best for the occasion.
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers-Galley- The Admiral- 1250)
He was bleary-eyed as he walked past several of his people who were buzzing
with talk until they saw him then quieted and straightened to stand stiffly
as he passed. He waved a hand at them in negation. "Go back to what you
were doing."
Those who had the night cycle saw him only rarely and that only when
something had gone terribly wrong during their tour. A few such accidents
had happened and they had been fatal. Skeese was at least glad this was not
one of these times.
He drew a cup of the bitter, dark brew as they began whispering among
themselves. He had been Captain the last time there had been visitors. It
had been a strange occasion and the tall beings had been very inquisitive
about Kal'Shar, even asking to get close to the engines with their small
boxes that made strange whistling noises. His father had of course declined
as there was much about Kal'Shar they could not be allowed to know.
He took a sip then forced himself to take another. The bitterness seemed
more pronounced tonight. He poured a little out and added water which
helped only slightly as well as cooling it just a bit.
If these visitors had come in response to his distress call how much should
he allow them to see?
"Father."
He finished the sip and turned to see the Captain enter. He also was
wearing his best. The three who had been in the galley slipped out so that
they could talk.
"Have they come in response to our call so soon?"
"So it appears." He replied.
"But how can that be? Distances in space are so vast. How can they move so
quickly?" Jeffe poured a cup of the brew for himself.
"I don't know. The last time I saw a visitor it was apparent their ways of
finding things out are far beyond us as well. Perhaps they will tell us but
I think not. Your grandfather asked them many questions they would not
answer."
Skeese thought about getting a piece of fruit to eat but decided he did not
have time. He didn't want to keep them waiting for too long so he took a
longer drink to empty the cup of the cooling brew then made another cup and
set off.

(USS Illuminar ? Deck 8 ? Astrometrics ? Pilot Ensign Vic ?Raid? Montero
? 12:45)
There wasn?t much for Vic to do at the moment and he needed to clear his
mind, so after lunch, he wanted over to the Astrometrics lab.There, he
hoped, he could check on the current navigational charts for this region
of space and get familiar with anything odd in this region.
The debris field, for example, that was encountered earlier in the day
was something that concerned him, and he needed to make sure that the
navigation data was updated on the shuttles, in case the Captain, or any
of the VIPs, wanted to take a trip in the Hillary.
The room was buzzing with activity, analyzing the data from this morning
sensors as the scientists worked on integrating the data.
?See here, there was something else here, not what you?d expect from an
asteroid collision or such,? one of the officers said.
?Yea, it doesn?t make sense, as the gravitational measurements from the
nearest star systems would never have been enough to create such a
field, and the previous surveys of this area didn?t indicate it.?
?Granted, those were a while ago, and they were fast scans.Not detailed
like we got today.?
Montero watched as the debris field was amplified on the Astrometrics
viewer.Space was beautiful, fascinating even ? when it was not trying to
kill you.
Looking at the color coding, he was attracted to the debris that
appeared metallic. Stepping forward, he pointed to the metallic pattern,
?That?s odd, any idea what it is.It looks like the results of an
explosion to me.?
The two scientists looked at each other.?Pilots always see
explosions.It?s not always the case.There are various natural causes
that can make things look like explosions.?
?Have you tried to do a regression analysis?? Montero asked.?You know,
use that fancy computer to project backwards a bit?You have a time frame
to work from, right??
?At a first approximation, perhaps.But we?d need even more detailed
scans than what the bridge provided,? the first one said.
?Come back in an hour or two, Ensign, and let?s see what is there.I?ll
bet you that it?s nothing.?
?You?re on.Oh, can you please make sure the Hillary?s navigation data is
updated too.? Montero replied and left the Astrometrics lab to find
Gunsmoke, see if she wanted to go on a bug hunt.

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(Kal?Shar Entry complex ? Room of Remembrance ? Sec'or 2 of the Keeper Clan, Geehoff ? 12.46)
Ariel smiled and her face lit up. It was so different than Geehoff was used to with the grey look of his own people. It was such a pleasure to be with someone ? different. He hadn?t realized that it was something he had been missing. Everything at Kal?Shar was so the same. The same people, the same work day after day, the same look. It was exciting to have something new, that wasn?t necessarily going to kill you.
"The ridges do not hurt,? she replied. "You may touch them if you like. I am pretty similar to those that are half Betazoid/ Half Klingon. The ridges are harder and more distinct in full blooded Klingon females. The males have ridges harder than that. I believe in you that you will achieve the goal you set.?
He couldn?t focus much after she had given him permission to touch her ridges. Slowly he reached out, his face like a child, unbelieving is opportunity. He touched her gently and then ran a single finger along the length of the ridge. The whole time he was aware of Ariel, and how she reacted. She did not pull away. She did not look the least bit uncomfortable. It was forbidden to touch another Sharlayan without expressed consent, and perhaps a days notice. The sensation was ? stimulating.
Suddenly there was a sound behind him off a throat clearing. It broke the tension of the moment and Geehoff quickly retrieved his had and assumed a more impersonal look. He wanted to know more about this Ariel Trei, half Betazed half Klingon, of the clan of the Illuminar. from the Illuminar. He hoped that they would have an opportunity later, but the ship was large, and he rarely saw people two days in a row, other than his mother.
"The Admiral has invited you to the hall of decisions,? Rhyssa announced.
Captain Sekal turned to answer, ?Thank you, we will follow.?
Ariel stood and moved to follow her captain, as she should have. Geehoff could not help but feel the disappointment though.
?Hopefully we will talk again, Ariel Trei,? Geehoff said as she moved away from him. Sadly she did not turn to respond. There was not time for that. He followed them down the hallway as the passed the Hall of Meals, and the Air Growth Room. Then he stopped short of the room of decisions. This was not a room for him. Not right now. He was not a maker of decisions, nor had rights for opinions.
Geehoff stepped to the side and stood guard as the outsiders went in. He could not help but wonder what decisions needed to be made, and what decisions would be made. It was his duty to make sure that the room was secure and safe. He would lay down his life to keep it so.

Stardate 2445.10.16
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers- The Hall of Remembrance- Ops'Car Rhyssa
and CO, Captain Sekal- 1249)
The Sharlayan of the caste of Keepers stepped through the doorway and
looked about. The table was well stocked with weaponry from their
'visitors' and several who were dressed in gold appeared uncomfortable
without them. The only outward equipment they sported were hanging by
straps around their necks and he wondered if they were like the famous
whistling boxes he had heard mentioned in the tales..
The one who had identified himself as the Captain appeared at ease while
most of those with him seemed uncomfortable, fidgeting around. The clothing
they wore was of several different colors and he wondered if those colors
denoted something explicit. It was known that at one time those of the
caste of Keepers had worn something called uniforms, qua'gse in the
Sharlayan language Now all that remained of those qua'gse were worn by the
Sharlayan Admiral and Captain for formal occasions. They had been patched
and recreated many times over as the original material had become nearly
impossible to find and emulate.
He cleared his throat to get the attention of those in the room who hadn't
noted his entry.
"The Admiral has invited you to the hall of decisions."
(Reply: Away Team 1)
Sekal turned to the Sharlayan. "Thank you. We will follow."
Rhyssa (Ree Sah) turned and pulled aside the curtain so that the guests
could follow then took the lead. The footsteps of the visitors was much
heavier due to their size and the tall boots that they wore. He had often
wondered what the visitors from the Grissom had looked like. Tales had been
spun to make them seem tall as mountains and though they were intimidating
in height they were not quite as imposing as they had sounded. But perhaps
these were shorter than from that ship, there did seem to be a variety in
their appearance.
Were they all from the same species? It did not appear so. One in blue had
ridges on her forehead and the Captain had ears that were pointed. He was
also the tallest of his group. There was also some variety in skin color,
some not far removed from that of his people.
The hall was long and took them past the galley and the hydroponics bays
where their food was grown. The hall of decisions lay just beyond. The door
to the large room was standing open and he stepped aside and motioned them
to continue then followed after them.
(Reply: Away Team 1)
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers- The Hall of Decisions- Ops'Car Rhyssa and
CO, Captain Sekal- 1253)
The long table could seat many of the Keeper caste and was made of wood
that had been cleverly stained and treated before Kal'Shar had set out.
Despite the passage of uncounted years it looked much the same. Heavy and
well built it was still solid despite the chipped corners and stains upon
it. There was what appeared to be a brass bell and striker set up at the
head of the table. The largest banner in the room was hung behind the chair
which was more ornate than the others.
The grey walls had more of the faded banners upon it, flags Rhyssa had been
told of the nation states upon their homeworld that had collaborated to
create Kal'Shar. The one that hung behind the head of the table was a
unified banner that had been created for their ship.
Two of the gold shirts declined seats but took up station by the door.
Rhyssa found this odd until he remembered that they had been the most
heavily armed. ~Protector clan perhaps?~ This made sense as one of them
always hovered near their Captain. ~So the colors do mean something!~ He
had hit on an epiphany and was quite proud of himself. Perhaps then the
Captains red with black edging marked him as command clan like his own
Captain and Admiral.
"Please make yourselves comfortable. I will have water, bread and fruit
brought in for those who are hungry or thirsty."
With that he made for the door to procure those items for them.
(Reply: Away Team 1)
Sekal stooped to sit in a low chair facing in the general direction of the
door and toward the center of the table to wait on the arrival of their
hosts.
Several minutes passed before two Sharlayans entered who were dressed quite
differently from the other natives they had seem so far. While the cut of
their clothing was not so lavish as that worn by the Federation
representatives they wore them proudly.
Sekal stood as they entered. They were not taller than the one identified
as Rhyssa but their air of authority was notable. They were followed in by
several more Sharlayans including Rhyssa who took seats.
The Admiral stood beside the chair at the head of the table and looked his
guests over gravely before speaking. " I am Admiral Skeese and I welcome
you to Kal'Shar. I am told you have come speedily to be of help to us. I
was Captain when the Grissom came to Kal'Shar as my son is now." His hand
indicated the other ornately dressed native who had taken the seat to his
right.
"You are much like them though different in ways. Have you come from
their..." he paused for an instant. "... Fed drashon?" His attempt to speak
the foreign word was noteworthy.

Two of Keung?s Security officers took sentry position by the doors, staring ahead. Keung was proud of them particularly as they were keeping a sharp eye on the proceedings, not that he was expecting anything to happen. He glanced around at the environment of the hall..somehow reminding him of the interior of a castle. There was a long wooden table with a brass bell at the end and the walls were covered with faded banners. He slowly walked around, looking at the people sitting around the table and wondered what the banners represented. He then joined the others at the table. Several of the Sharlayans surrounded the table. They look harmless enough, thought Keung but he remained on alert, keeping quiet for the moment. He took a seat next to Captain Sekal. If anything did happen, his priority was to protect the Captain.

(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building- SO, Ensign T?Mur- 1235.5)
?Engineering is down that way,? Gregory announced after consulting the downloaded map, "and the Captain was heading in that direction. Let?s take this pathway and meet up with team 1 there. Everyone keep their eyes and ears open, as it looks like our scanners may not be effective.?
T?Mur nodded her acknowledgment of the directive as the Lt. ordered Picard and Hendricks to take point. "Ms. T?Mur, you are with me. Ms. Taggard, you pair up with Mr. Matrix.?
T?Mur stood beside Gregory, and watched as the two security men went ahead, and then Matrix and McTaggard. She ushered Gregory into the stairwell and brought up the rear. As they started to descend the stairs the door behind them started to close. T?mir moved back to the door in time for it to clang shut. She looked around the door in the low light but could not see a way to reopen the door. She mused at it for a moment and then left it. This would be a problem for another time. Spending the time to see if they could reopen the door right now would only be a waste of time as they were going to keep moving down any way. Hopefully they would not have a reason to bid a hasty retreat. Then the closed door could be a problem.
(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Stair well- SO, Ensign T?Mur- 1241.5)
The trip down the stairwell was intriguing to say the least. It appeared that the internal structures of the ship were literally hewn out of the rock of an asteroid. It was not completely fabricated. They traveled for nearly five minutes in a steep decline until they reached a tunnel, also carved into the rock. Even T?Muir?s calves were starting to burn. She could only imagine how the other were holding up. But they kept moving. The air became warmer, warmer than one had expected, the closer they got to the engineering area. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, but not from exertion.
Gregory called back to her, ?Ensign T?Mur how far to the Engineering space??
T?Mur checked their progress on the map. Their six small dots showed up at almost three-quarters of the way there. ?We are approaching the engineering section soon, sir. In about a half a kilometer.? She checked her readings again and noted an increase level of heat the further in they got. Suddenly the signs in the airlock and at the doorway all came together. They were a warning.
?Sir,? she said, "look at these readings?
(reply Gregory)
He asked. ?Ms. McTaggard, are you picking up anything biological now??
As if on cue T?Murs security sensors began to beep. Without warning life signs started showing up on the scanner surrounding the away team. Before T?Mur could shout out her warning a figure stepped out from what appeared to be a solid wall. T?mir could sense the eyes of the others baring down on her. The group came to a sudden halt.
The small male in front of them brandished a weapon that appeared to be some kind of energy disruptor. He was dressed in a light brown uniform with markings on left breast of the tunic. He was not an imposing figure but carried himself with the air of authority. His flat yellow hair fell across his grey face, which was not a happy looking face. Fortunately Picard and Hendricks had the presence of mind to keep their weapons holstered.
?I am Jo?Dan, Se?cor 1 of the Keeper clan,? the figured called out with a strong voice. ?You are outsiders, and should NOT be here. Why are you here??
(reply Gregory)
?This area is not safe,? Jo?Dan said. ?You have put yourselves, and us, in danger just being here. Did you not see the warnings. This is the death zone now.?
?We did see the warnings,? T?Mur said, ?but did not understand them until just now. I am still learning your language.?
Jo?Dan shook his heads as if he were talking with children. ?You are to come with me. Look, already one of yours has already contracted the sickness.?
They looked as Hendricks swayed a little then fell to his hands and knees. Jo?Dan pointed at two of his men and to Hendricks, who was slipping down to the ground. ?Get him, and bring him with us. The rest of you flow me. Hurry before we all perish.?
With that Jo?Dan turned and led them through a doorway that was nearly invisible through its camouflage. It was almost like a hall of mirrors. The passage ways were difficult to distinguish if you did not know where you were going or did not use a map. The pace that was being set, there was no time to consult the map so they had to trust the judgement of their? host.
(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Room of Healing- SO, Ensign T?Mur- 1250)
Before long they stepped through another doorway and wound up in another corridor that more resembled the corridor of a ship. There were more doorways and lighting. Jo?Dan led them to a room. As they stepped inside the lights flickered on. There were chairs around the edge of the room and two narrow tables in the middle of the room. The tables were covered in white cloths.
The Sharlayans picked Hendricks up and placed him on one of the tables. It suddenly dawned on T?Mur that this was some kind of medical room. Perhaps it was the antiseptic smell, or the smell of decayed flesh, both equally strong.
?Wait here,? Jo?Dan ordered. ?I will fetch a healer for your friend, and for yourselves.?
With that Jo?Dan left the group with Sharlayans guarding the exit.

Jordan was strolling through deck 8 as he had become totally oblivious to
what the engineering team was currently working on. He noticed that his
fellow recent transfer Alantar, along with other key engineering
personnel had left the shift and for what he was not aware.
In his walk he passed the Astrometrics lab just in time to catch another
ensign exiting.
"Hola," Jordan said, smiling in the direction of the ensign.
(reply Montero)
Jordan examined the person who he had just initiated a conversation with.
"What do you do here?"
(reply Montero)

NRPG: I know it's short and sweet but Jordan missed ( actually I did) the
away team assignments show this was the only post I saw of someone still on
the ship. I would have jumped in as one of the scientists but need to
concentrate on the PC posting first.

Penny felt scared. It seemed her first few hours in blue. Would be her last. When Gregory had asked her if she was now picking anything up. Her tricorder started beeping like a trapped mouse.
Then the Sharlayans turned up not looking happy. Penny had been correct. Those symbols were new! Keep out Danger. But they did not know that then and descended those stairs anyway. Now they were sick. Penny did not feel anything slowly eating it?s way through her immune system.
Well as she was not about to sneeze her small intestine out her nose. Penny decided to look around. The age old smells of flesh and antiseptic. That hung over all Sickbay?s be they Fedaration or ancient Alien. Gave this place a unique smell identifying it as a medical area. A Sharlayan watched her as she looked around. Putting a hand out to stop her touching. What looked like a stone basin covered in dark stains.
Penny moved to T?Mur.

(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Hall of Decisions- Se?cor 1 of the Keeper Clan- Jo?Dan - 1254)
But the time Jo?Dan had found that all of the house commanders were meeting at the Hall of Decisions he was already afraid that it was too late for one of the outsiders. They had been entering the hall when he caught up to Genesee of the Healers and pulled her aside.
?You dare,? she said, wide eyed at the horror of the unforewarned touch. It was an unacceptable breech of personal contact.
?Forgive me Healer,? Jo?Dan begged, ?but it is of utmost importance. I would not have otherwise.?
Genesee sighed heavily. She knew Jo?Dan. He could be impetuous but never disrespectful. ?What is it Jo?Dan, that would keep me from the Hall of Decisions??
?Strangers, Healer,? he said softly. ?Outsiders like them. They were found wandering in the Death Zone. One is already failing. Please mistress, they need your tending.?
She paused a moment, and then with another deep sigh looked back at the Hall, and then back the way Jo?Dan had come. ?Very well, let the captain know of the situation and explain my absence.?
?Yes, Healer Genesee,? Jo?Dan replied and watched as the elderly healer moved swiftly and smoothly down the corridor. He turned to the Hall of Decisions and stepped inside.
He quickly found Rhyssa quickly, and moved around the wall of the room until he was directly behind the captain. He took one step towards the captain waiting for an acknowledgement, and then another. He moved slowly until he was certain that he had the captain?s attention.
(reply Rhyssa)
?Captain Rhyssa,? he whispered, ?forgive my intrusion, but Healer Genesee has gone to tend to some outsiders found in the Death Zone. I fear one is already too sick. She asked me to let you know of her absence.?

~I was going to need a shower and a clean uniform when I got back to the
ship,~ Gregory thought ~And a gallon of water.~
T?Mur reported there was about a half a kilometer to go to where the
engineering compartment was located, assuming that they were
interpreting the map correctly.
?Sir. Look at these readings,? T?Mur called.
Gregory moved over to look down at her readings.?Not good,?
?Ms. McTaggard, are you picking up biologicals now??
Before the science officer could respond, several figured appeared from
a solid wall. One of the individuals stepped forward.
?I am Jo?Dan, Se?cor 1 of the Keeper clan,? the figured called out with
a strong voice. ??You are?outsiders, and should NOT be here. ?Why are
you?here??
?I am Lieutenant Gregory of the USS Illuminar.We are here responding to
your distress signal and were following this map,? he said, showing the
map on his tricorder, ?to the engineering space and to meet up with the
rest of our team.?
At the mention of warnings and the area not being safe, Gregory looked
sick.This was not going the way he thought it would.
(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Room of Healing- ?COps Lieutenant Dieter
Gregory- 1254)
The newcomers grabbed Hendricks and led them down a winding path ending
in a corridor.Before they could get their bearing, they were led into
what passed for the Sharlayan sick bay.
While Hendricks was placed on one of the tables, the one called Jo?Dan
spoke, ?Wait here.I will fetch a healer for your friend, and for
yourselves.?
He left the away team in the room under guard.
Gregory pulled up the map and tried to get better understanding where
they were. Tapping his comm badge, ?Gregory to Illuminar.?
---- Static ----
?Gregory to Illuminar.?
---- Static ----
It was too much to hope that he would be able to reach the ship. Perhaps
he could get a signal to the Captain at least.Depending on how the
signals would bounce through the tunnels.
?Gregory to Captain Sekal?
While Gregory waited to see if the Captain would respond, he moved over
to Hendricks. The man looked unwell.?Ms. McTaggard, can you see about
getting a radiation dose reading on Hendricks, and the rest of the away
team.?
(Reply McTaggard)
Gregory shook his head.They would need to get to Dr. Solice for
treatment.The dosage was high, but within limits as he recalled them.Why
Hendrik was so ill was a concern.
?Mr. Matrix, can you please check the tricorders to see why we didn?t
get any alerts about the increased radiation levels until it was too
late,? Gregory asked.
(Reply Matrix)
?Well Ms. T?Mur, this gone balls up.?
(Reply T?Mur)
?I guess we wait.I hate waiting.?

Quinna bit her lower lip out of concern for her friend. Quinna knew that
Ariel had the best intentions. She turned back to the coming and goings of

T'Mur watched as McTaggard moved towards her. ?Judging by the smell and those dark stains on that wee basin. This is either the kitchen or their Sickbay. Do ya ken??
T?Mur found the accident and colloquialisms of the scientist? entertaining. The sound of her voice was almost musical, and not unpleasant. She found herself being drawn to the woman, even if she did not completely understand her. She had no idea what a ken was or if she even knew how to do it, so she decided it was best not to answer that question. However, her conjecture of the purpose of the room appeared to be quite logical.
?I would assume a medical room of some kind,? she agreed. ?They knew that we were in need of medical attention so logic would prevail to take us to their medical center or sickbay. However, I am not seeing much medical equipment laying around.?
She poked around on some counters and shelves, finding only some bandage material. Then she turned her attention to back to McTaggard. ?I find your pattern of speech to be most intriguing."
?Och I am sorry my Scots accent comes out more when I am nervous. I meant do ya agree.? Penny said
T?Mur was confused, ?I am not certain what you are apologizing about,? she said as she searched. "That was not a criticism but nearly an observation. I actually find it intriguing. I also wonder what they plan to treat our medical needs with."
?I hope they do not use leeches,? Penny replied.
T?Mur stopped and faced Mctaggard, ?Actually leeches have many positive medical purposes that are often overlooked by modern medical science. However, if you are referring to the old Earth medieval use of leeches and open wounds as a form of bleeding an illness out of a body, I do not find that likely. These people may not have out technological advancement but they are far from the Dark Ages. Besides, I am most certain that they do not have a barber on board this ship.?

"Yes we are from the Federation." Sekal was standing as was the Sharlayan.
The food and water had arrived and was being placed at strategic points on
the table along with plates and cups.
"And the Federation has sent us here on a matter of importance for the
Sharlayan people. We received your transmission shortly before we arrived."
The Admiral's face showed surprise as his son leaned forward with interest.
"So you did not come to help us?"
"That was not our original purpose but we will help your people and your
ship. I have brought people from my engineering crew who will be of use to
the people who repair your ship. Food for the colonists however is not a
simple matter as the resources of my ship are limited. For our
primary purpose here I have two people on board the Illuminar who are
prepared to speak with you about your future within the Federation."
Skeese's face had gotten grave, he moved to sit down in the chair and was
silent for a moment before speaking. "So you have an engineering clan
aboard your ship."
Sekal took his seat as well. "Yes."
The Admiral made a supreme effort to keep his eyes from falling to the
table, instead holding the Captains gaze. "Our engineering clan is no more.
Those who once operated Kal'Shar have been pressed into service to fill
that role but they do not have the experience or the expertise to operate
the fabrication machinery or to properly repair the ship. This is why we
were forced to send out a distress call."
It was the Vulcans turn to be silent for a moment at the unexpected turn of
events. How to move forward required more information. "How and when did
you lose your engineering clan?"
Skeeses' eyes showed pain. "Six solar cycles ago there was an alarm in the
engine room and the clan mobilized to handle the matter. While in the
engine room they sickened." He shuddered noticeably at the memory of the
cries coming from the most critical area of the ship, at the burns that
broke out upon their skin as they coughed up blood and tried to get out
through the doors he had ordered sealed. He could still hear their pleas
sometimes at night as he lay in his bed and stared into the darkness. It
hadn't happened often since his mate had left him as his thoughts turned
most often to her. Knowing that he had done as the most explicit directives
had stipulated did not keep the agony of that memory away. "I was forced to
open the compartment to space."
Sekal's eyes hardened at the realization of what had taken place and the
reason for it. "You have a nuclear drive. The radiation emitted by your
engines made that obvious. Why were they not properly protected?"
Skeese fidgeted under the intensity of the Vulcans gaze as his people
muttered in disapproval at the implication of the question. He looked at
them and waved them to silence. His son was the one looking at the table in
shame. The Admiral then turned his attention back to Sekal.
"There was protective equipment made to keep them safe when Kal'Shar was
launched and supplies to remake them when they broke down but it has been
so long ... the supplies were exhausted ... they used what they could but
it ... it was not enough."
"How long has your ship been traveling?"
Skeese had folded in on himself as he spoke but took a deep, steadying
breath and regained some of his former pride. "I am the thirty fifth
Admiral and Kal'Shar set forth some nine hundred and twenty cycles ago."
The timeline was astounding but Sekal needed more information. "What is the
current condition of your engines?"
The question that had been on Skeeses' mind now became a non factor. He
knew that for this being and his crew to help them he would have to reveal
everything. "Two of the fuel rods for our internal power will not seat
fully. The reaction is contained but it has been flooding the engine
compartment with radiation and the fuel rods are exhausting themselves. The
loss of power is crippling the ability of the colonists to grow food. As we
cannot enter the compartment the engines for the star drive will expend
themselves as well casting us adrift while we starve. This is our plight
and the reason I sent out the distress call."
This explained the reason for the radiation that had made it difficult to
get detailed scans of the asteroid.
Sekal turned to his Engineering officer. "Mister Alantar your thoughts and
recommendations please."

cannot enter the compartment the engines for the star drive will expend
themselves as well casting us adrift while we starve. This is our plight
and the reason I sent out the distress call."
This explained the reason for the radiation that had made it difficult to
get detailed scans of the asteroid.
Sekal turned to his Engineering officer. "Mister Alantar your thoughts and
recommendations please."
The Engineer looked thoughtful as he had been considering this very
question since hearing how bad the conditions were. He looked up, his
attention being directed to both Sekal and the leader of the Sharlayans.
"We have proper protective suits and equipment aboard the ship that we can
use and I've got plenty of people to call on who can do the job. This is
pretty low tech compared to what we use so it shouldn't be a problem
figuring out the system and making the actual repairs. Any material that
might be needed can be replicated on the ship if they don't have it
available." He gave Skeese his full attention.
"Admiral sir am I correct in assuming you have enough fuel rods in storage
for a complete refit? From the sound of it you need one badly."
The Admiral nodded his head. "There are still many in storage."
Tycho gave a quick nod. "In order to fix the engine for your internal power
we are going to have to shut it down completely then bring it back online
afterward and before I do that I'm going to need to verify all your systems
are sound. Once the work is complete we will have to decontaminate the
engine compartment as well. The work on the engines may take 3 days and
cleaning everything probably just as long. Before we can go in there though
we will have to set up a decontamination chamber on the outside and the
compartment will have to be repressurized."
He gave the Sharlayan a somber look. "Any bodies left in the compartment
will have to be disposed of, after being exposed to radiation this long
there is no way they can be brought back into the habitable portions of the
ship. They will need to be ejected into space."
The Admirals face was drawn as he gave a slow nod of his head. "I
understand."
Tycho turned back to Sekal. "I would say about a week then to do all the
work, less if conditions are ideal but I wouldn?t count on it."
Sekal leaned back in the chair and nodded. "I concur." He turned his
attention to Skeese. "My engineering and operations crew will see to
repairing your systems and navigation equipment which you mentioned in the
message and will train some of your people to keep those systems up until
you complete your journey."
The Admiral took a deep breath and closed his eyes for an instant then gave
a slight smile as he reopened them. Impending disaster had hung over them
for so long the very thought of a remedy abated the stress just a bit.
"Thank you. And what was the other matter you came to us for?"
Sekal would not delve deeply into that. "I have someone aboard who wishes
to discuss that with you whenever you are available. It may take some time
for you to work out the details."
Skeese relaxed a little. "I am available at his pleasure and he will have
the best of my available rooms to stay in while he is here."
Sekal gave an approving nod and took up a glass of water and a piece of
fruit. He knew that there were certain to be unforseen difficulties but was
confident his technical crew could handle whatever arose.

?Actually leeches have many positive medical purposes that are often
overlooked by modern medical science. However, if you are referring to the
old Earth medieval use of leeches and open wounds as a form of bleeding an
illness out of a body, I do not find that likely. These people may not
have out technological advancement but they are far from the Dark Ages.
Besides, I am most certain that they do not have a barber on board this
ship," T'Mur said in response to McTaggard's quip about leeches.
"Could be worse," Jaton said. "Ancient Trill doctors were big fans of using
sweat lodges to treat disease. And it takes a lot to make a Trill sweat
compared to most species. A lot of patients died of dehydration and
heatstroke back in the day. And I can only imagine the hallucinations."
His voice trailed off as he looked around. The room was sparse, but
professional. He took out his tricorder. "I'm going to take some scans and
see if I can find anything else. I suggest you do the same."

Stardate 2445.10.16
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers- The Hall of Decisions- CO, Captain
Sekal-1303)
Sekal noted another Sharlayan had come into the room. The bread had been
quite good, warm and crusty on the outside and grainy rather than
completely soft on the inside. The contrast of texture and taste was quite
pleasant to one who was used to a rather bland diet. There was one fruit
that tasted rather like a Terran papaya, several types of melons of varying
shades of colors and other more mundane fruits.
He found the Sharlayan concept of welcoming guests with food to be pleasant
as well. This was a concept ingrained in many cultures as a show of
hospitality and rightfully so as there was no better way to welcome a
visitor than to share your food with them. Even more so when that food was
in short supply. While Illuminar didn't have the resources to feed a
population of thousands much less tens of thousands they could do something
and an idea had occurred to him where more help might be procured.
Their hosts had been quiet as his officers were enjoying the food which had
been a boon since in the rush to beam into the asteroid lunch had been
passed over. There had been no time for such pursuits when speed was
required to determine the fate of a civilization.
He finished a bite of bread and was washing it down with chilled water when
a native entered and made its way to Rhyssa who had been their guide. She
stiffened as his combadge chirped.
=^= Gregory to Captain Sekal. =^= He tapped it in reply. The Ops Chief was
finally reporting in but there appeared to be some interference. The signal
was weak and he had to listen closely but it was legible.
"Sekal here, report Mister Gregory."
(Reply: Gregory)
Rhyssas eyes had grown wide as the Sharlayan was speaking to her and she
looked toward him.
"Understood. On my way" He rose to his feet and looked down the table
toward Quinna. "Doctor Solice there is a medical emergency, it appears to
be radiation poisoning."
(Reply: Quinna)
He turned toward Skeese. "Admiral if you will excuse me I have crewmen to
check on."
The Admiral looked up in surprise. "Of course what?"
Rhyssa and her messenger, Sekal and Quinna were already headed for the door
and being followed by Ensign Lee who had taken up the watch over the
Captain. "Mister Alantar and Counselor Trei remain here with our hosts, I
will return shortly."
(Reply: Quinna, Alantar, Lee, Trei)
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers- Medical- CO, Captain Sekal-1311)
The medical ward was primitive by Federation standards and who knew how
well advanced the Sharlayans medical knowledge of radiation poisoning
extended? For that matter what supplies could they have that would still be
viable after nearly 1,000 years? While it was possible there might be
something they could cultivate to synthesize a remedy from the Vulcan found
it unlikely.
He saw Lieutenant Gregory and made his way over as the Doctor hurried in
and pulled her medical tricorder to begin scanning.
"How did this happen Lieutenant?"
(Reply: Gregory, Quinna, any)
He looked about at Away Yeam 2.
"Their engineering section has been flooded with radiation for years from a
leaking atomic engine. Your team will need to be evacuated to the Illuminar
for treatment."

After boosting the signal through his tricorder, Gregory finally got
through to the Captain.However, there was enough interference he had to
repeat himself two or three times.
?Yes Captain, I repeat we have a medical emergency.Away team has been
exposed to high doses of radiation.?
=^= Understood.On my way. =^=
He walked over to the security officer, ?Hang in there Hendrik, the
Captain?s coming, and he?ll have the doctor with him,? he said softly as
he squeezed the man?s hand.
Gregory turned to the team, ?Captain is on the way.Any luck Miss
McTaggard on an estimated dose for us and for Hendrik.?
(Reply McTaggard)
?Thank you,? he said to the science office.
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers- Medical- COps Lieutenant Dieter

The Captain and the Doctor made their way into the room, accompanied by
the Sharlayan?s who?d left earlier.
As the Doctor started scanning the away team, the Captain stood in front
of Gregory.
?How did this happen Lieutenant??he asked
Gregory has been waiting for this moment.This was a huge failure on his
part, perhaps the Captain?s faith in him was unfounded.
?Sir, while we were exploring the airlock chamber, Ms. T?Mur discovered
a map of the area, and started translating the Sharlayan language.As we
were finishing our work, we managed, quite by accident, to open a trap
door.Based on the map we had, we determined it would be quicker to
follow the map to catch up with away team 1 in the engineering section.?
?Unfortunately, there was something blocking our tricorder scanners, so
we explored the area, until the Sharayan?s came and pulled us out of the
area, about a half kilometer from the engineering space,? Gregory
continued. ?That was when they informed us of the radiation issue.At
that time, Mr. Hendrick collapsed, and was assisted to this room.?He
glanced over at the officer that Dr. Solace was examining.
?I?ve asked Mr. Matrix to assay why the tricorders didn?t pick up the
radiation signal, and I was only able to get a signal to you after
boosting it through the tricorder, Sir.?

At the meal, Quinna continued to be the observer. She kept the palm part
of mer medical tricorder concealed in her hand. She wanted scans of
everything. She felt it was critical to keep noted and plenty of antacid
available if needed.
"Doctor Solice there is a medical emergency, it appears to be radiation
poisoning." Quinna nodded her head as the captain addressed her. She
swiftly arose and headed around to the captain.
When the two left, Quinna asked, ?Do you know which crew member??
(Reply Sekal)
Though it was going to be soon enough when they find out.

Upon entering the Medical area she saw Hendrick laying there. She pulled
out her tricorder and emergency medical kit. She needed to get a reading
on the radiation. At the same time, Quinna was trying to listen to the
conversation behind her.
As Quinna continued on trying to get some reading, she heard?
I?m sorry,? Genesse said, ?but the radiation sickness was too much. He is
no more."
?What?? Quinna said as she turned to the healer. ?No, it may not be too
late.? Quinna administered Hyronalin to the patients.
(Reply Sekal)
?Sir, we need to get them back to the ship. They need immediate antiproton
treatment.? Quinna said as she rushed to keep the crew alive.
After the orders to return to the ship she heard Genesse speak, ?If you
have technology or medicine that could help treat the sickness I must go
with them,? she implored. ?Rhyssa, it could only help our people. We have
no treatment for it as yet.?

Radiation. Why did it have to be radiation. Why couldn?t of been something else? Like a Phaser to the chest. That?s how Penny?s late Grandfather bought his ticket to heaven. But radiation why did it have to be that.
As instructed Penny scanned Hendrik and the away team. Once she had her readings she moved over to Gregory. Then speaking softly as not to worry Hendrik she spoke.
? It?s nay good sir. Poor Hendrik reads 10Gy and we read 8Gy.? Penny reported ? I?ll look into what level of treatment we will need.? Penny reported.
Walking around her fingers danced across the face of her tricorder. He faced creased in concentration as she worked.
Gregory turned to the team, ?Captain is on the way. Any luck Miss McTaggard on an estimated dose for us and for Hendrik.?
Penny tried to keep her eyes dry as she spoke. ? For Hendrik extensive doses of anti radiation treatment immediately. But I have to say his readings are failing. It may be to late. As for us unless we get treatment soon. We will be heading to the kirk yard our selves.? She finished.
?Thank you,? he said to the science office.

Keung poured himself a glass of water. It was a delicious lunch although he was somewhat vague in what he was actually eating and didn?t bother to ask what the meal actually was. He could taste some of meat and sort of recognised the various vegetables. ?Don?t question what?s been offered..just eat it!!? he was once told ?Medical will provide prescribed a solution? He picked up what looked like the equivalent of an Earth?s apple and bit into it. Mm it tasted akin to a rusket andi it was juicy. Throughout the lunch he hardly said a word mainly listening to the conversation around the table and especially to Captain Sekal and Admiral Skeese. The Sharlayn had realised that the Federation had not originally come to help them but the Illuminar?s had responded to their transmission so came to assist anyway. Keung was amazed that the Sharlayns had been travelling for so long whatever nine hundred and twenty cycles is and he had the impression that the Illuminar was the first visitors they seen!! Talking about having a sheltered life!. They managed to keep going even they have technical and radiation issues. At least the ships engineers will able to sort out things out and Keung wondered if his security expertise would be needed. He glanced at his two security officers standing on sentry duty who were doing a grand impression of being statures but their eyes were observing everything. He wondered how Alpha 2 were doing?

(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Room of Healing- Healer of the Keeper Clan, Genesse- 1313)
Genesse (Jen- es-SEE) was immersed in her study of the outsider on the table when Rhyssa and the captain of the outsiders came into the room. She did not stop to give greeting or even acknowledge their presence. She had seen this so many times before, but it had been time. Time enough for scars to have grown over those feelings of helplessness.
When Rhyssa finally got her attention tears had already started to form in her hers. She shook her head, put her hand on the outsiders face and gave him a silent blessing to send him on his way. Then the outsider expired. When she could no longer feel breath or warmth in the body she turned her attention to the other.
?I?m sorry,? Genesse said, ?but the radiation sickness was too much. He is no more."
She went to the wall and pressed a panel. It opened to reveal a large box and a device that was much like a tuning fork. This was their medical scanner. She waved the fork over the two females that were together and shook her head. It was odd that the one with the pointed ears seemed to be less affected by the radiation than the fiery haired one. But both had been affected. The fiery haired female was already starting to show signs of cellular degradation, but she does not know it yet.
The outsider?s doctor was doing her own scans over the yellow shirt strangers and and the other blue shirt. She went over to outsiders' Healer and tried to look over her shoulder and make sense of what doing, but it was not clear. What she could tell was that the life signs of the others were not where they should be.
(rely Solice)
Then she heard the yellow shirt explain the circumstances of their situation. He seemed to blame himself, but if he had no knowledge of the sickness how could he. Unless he knew. When she heard the captain say that they would need to be evacuated she looked up and moved over to the two captains.
?If you have technology or medicine that could help treat the sickness I must go with them,? she implored. ?Rhyssa, it could only help our people. We have no treatment for it as yet.?

(Kal'Shar- Room of Healing- CO, Captain Sekal- 1315)
The rundown on Away Team 2 was troubling but if the the body language of
all involved was accurate; true. And no one would walk knowingly into hard
radiation. Sekal himself had found out the danger in the engineering spaces
too late to give a proper warning. A failure on the Sharlayans part to
communicate the full extent of their plight and a possible systemic
equipment failure appeared to be to blame for the incident. Broadcast
distress signals could not be expected to be exhaustive however, they were
kept precise and short for a reason.
?I?ve asked Mr. Matrix to assay why the tricorders didn?t pick up the
radiation signal, and I was only able to get a signal to you after boosting
it through the tricorder, Sir.?
"He can look into the matter after he and the rest of the away team gets
proper treatment."
?Aye Sir. I am sorry Sir.? The officer replied.
?Sir, we need to get them back to the ship. They need immediate antiproton
treatment.? Doctor Solice interjected.
?If you have technology or medicine that could help treat the sickness I
must go with them. Rhyssa, it could only help our people. We have no
treatment for it as yet.? The speaker was one of the Sharlayans, perhaps
what accounted for a healer on the ship.
?I can certainly use the help.? Her plea was backed up by the doctor.
Sekal didn't have time to properly consider the ramifications of the matter
but the explicit instructions of his superiors needed to be followed to the
letter. While seeing the inside of sickbay would qualify as cultural
contamination it would be minimal in his estimation.
"Very well the Sharlayan healer may act as an observer. Permission granted."
(Reply: Quinna)
He turned to Rhyssa. "My team needs to return to my ship. Is there a faster
way to the surface?"
She nodded. "There is a device that is rarely used. A large box that goes
up through the walls once used to supply Kal'Shar before it set out we
think. It rises into a building on the surface and is not far. I will guide
them."
"A cargo elevator. Thank you." He turned to Gregory.
"Relay my orders to Commander Verin. The ship is to begin assembling
emergency rations for the Sharlayans immediately. I will be returning soon
to make other arrangements. After the members of the away team are fit for
duty they are to report to me for assignment. Now get your team to the
ship."
(Reply: Gregory)
More Sharlayans had entered the room and at the direction of the healer
they placed the unconscious security officer on a back board and carrying
it by the corners followed Rhyssa from the ward. The officers feet dangled
from the edge due its short length. He followed the team until they turned
down a side corridor and continued in the direction of the conference room.
The leisurely lunch was at an end, he had interrupted business with the
Admiral that needed to be concluded so he could return to his ship.

(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Room of Healing- SO, Ensign T?Mur- 1317)
As the Sharlayans came in the Healer directed them to put Hendrick?s body on a board. They then lifted the board onto a gurney. Kendricks was taller, by human standards, so compare to the average Sharlayan he was almost gigantic. The sheer number of Sharlayans, and the sight of the security officers limbs over sized for its transport struck a memory In the Vulcan.
She recalled her time roommate in the academy, who was an avid watcher of entertaining videos. Andrea had been particularly interested in what was late twentieth century musical comedies. There was a video that she would watch on multiple occasions, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Apparently it was derived from a novel. In this video was a future of diminutive humanoids called Oomp Loompas. Apparently the Ommpa Loompas would sing whenever they had a task to perform.
As she watched the Sharlayans move Hendricks? body she could not help but make that connection. She waited for the Sharlayans begin to sing, but they did not. But in her mind all she could hear was Oompa Loompa doompody doc, I?ve got another riddle for you.? At that point she began to giggle. The giggle quickly turned into a laugh that she simply could not control. She laughed heartily as she left the medical room following the parade of Oompa Loompa Sharlayans to the service elevator to the surface.
It was at this point that she realized that she was in trouble. Apparently the radiation had affected the portion of her brain that was already compromised. He mind reacted, at first angrily, and then she began to cry, inconsolably.
In the back of her mind all she could logically think of was, ?Please, make this stop.?
But she could not, and her emotions raged on. The Sharlayan Healer wrapped her arms around T?Mur and held her tight as the elevator rose. They stayed in this position until they reached the surface, and then transported to the Illuminar.

ILLUMINARRPG: (03, 1318) CSO Lieutenant (jg) Jaton Alyl
From: sbrownodowd at gmail.com (Spencer O'Dowd)
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 22:12:17 -0500
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(Sharlayan Generation Ship - Room of Healing - CSO Lieutenant (jg) Jaton
Alyl - 1318)
Jaton was feeling weak, but still part of him felt like he needed to help
the Sharlayans carry Hendricks towards the lift. He wasn't in charge of
this away team, but as one of the senior officers, he felt responsible for
what had happened. He got up from the exam table and began to walk towards
the group of Sharlayans, but quickly stumbled and fell over, weak from
radiation exposure.
As he tentatively picked himself up, he noticed splotches of red on the
ground where his face had made contact. He felt his cheek, and felt wet. He
hadn't fallen hard enough to break the skin, and came to one conclusion: it
was a lesion that had opened up since they'd arrived. He sighed, and sat
back on the table, looking for something he could use as a support.
As he did, another of the Sharlayans seemed to notice and came over to him,
offering one of its arms.
"Thank you, little one," he said as he rested his weight on the little
alien. He tentatively got up, and it was at this point T'Mur, also
following Hendricks out of the room, began to laugh. And a moment later as
they entered the lift, she began to cry. Her attending healer wrapped her
arms around her, trying to console her as the lift began moving.
"Courage, ensign," Jaton said through laboured breathing. "We'll get out of
this and we'll be alright. Just try and concentrate." He then offered her a
weak smile as they reached the top and the transporter sequence began to
cycle, bringing them back to the Illuminar.

ILLUMINARRPG: (3-1320)-Healer of the Keeper Clan, Genesse
From: amuir at sanjuan.edu (Al Muir)
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 06:21:25 +0000
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Transporter Room 1 - Healer of the Keeper Clan, Genesse- 1320)
Genes held onto the outsider as she apparently seemed to fall apart emotionally. She focused all of her attention on her to give support and use her own body energy to provide her body with support. All that ended when she felt the first tingle of the transporter effect. When the tingle went away she could still feel a slight wave of electrical impulses throughout her body. Her eyes were wide with a mixture of horror and amazement. That was when she realized that she was no longer on Kal?Shar.
She stepped away from the poor creature who crumpled to the deck and looked around the room. It was so small and so large at the same time. Then she notice the smell, or to be more accurate, the lack of smell. This was what she imagined that ?clean? smelled like. It wasn?t antiseptic, but it was not dirty either. And it was bright. She almost had to shade her eyes.
With a couple of banks she adjusted her vision, and her emerald irises contracted until the light was not so blinding. She couldn?t help but smile. This was another world. Well, another space craft, but it was like another world.
Then her medical instincts kicked back in. She turned her attention back to the outsider on the ground and helped up with the assistance of others. She heard a word- sickbay- and realized that this must mean their Room of Healing. With the help of the others she managed to get the one they called T?Mur to move. Now she was along for the ride. She had no idea where she was going, but her presence was necessary. She had, once again, made the connection with this T?Mur and made their way down a hallway to another door that opened automatically.
(USS Illuminar- Deck 5- Sickbay - Healer of the Keeper Clan, Genesse- 1323)
As she moved T?Mur through the door of Sickbay Genesse stopped in her tracks, leaving her ward to the care of the medical team that suddenly surrounded her. This gave her the opportunity to really look at her surroundings. Now was the antiseptic smell that she ad expected. There were a series of beds, for lack of a better term, around the room. Each of them held a member of the team that had gone through Kal?Shar?s engineering area. By the bed was a series of readouts, that were, no doubt, the biological readings of the beds? occupants.
Several of the monitors were giving alarms, and flashing bright red alerts. She went over to the bed that contained the female that she had helped. The readings showed to lines, one of the patient?s normal function, and one that was now. Most her body functions only deviated slightly from their norm. But her brain wave functions were far from normal. This did not seem to be the cause of solely the radiation. There was an underlying condition that had to cause this.
She looked around the sickbay for the one called Soliss. She was busy with the one called Hendricks. Soliss was hard at work, but Genesse knew that she was fighting a losing battle. Genesse had been in that battle many times over the years. She had to give the healer credit, she was not one to give up on a patient easily. Looking at the desperation in her activity she could tell that she had never lost a patient before. The end result of this fight was going to hit her hard.
Genesse had her own desperate desire to help, but she also realized that in this world, at this time, she would only be in the way. She decided it would be best for her to stand back and observe. Soliss knew she was there if she needed her. She would best serve those sick and dying by being a comfort and support to the one called T?Mur who had been taken to a different room. She walked over to the room, watched as she struggled to maintain her emotional composure, unsuccessfully.
As she turned to step away a voice called out, ?No!? It was T?Mur. ?Do not leave me alone. Please. I am so alone.? Tears started to stream down her face.
Genesse stepped into the room and went to the side of the girls bed, for at this moment she was a little girl. Reaching out the Healer took the girl?s hand. A surprising strength grasped back.
?I am sorry,? T?Mur said, realizing she had hurt her benefactor.
?I?m undamaged dear one,? Genesse assured her, although it was not completely the truth. ?Tell me what is going on.?
T?Mur breathed deeply, the strain of control obvious in her muscles. She looked at though she were working every muscle in her body. She looked at the ceiling for minute, silently, then closed her eyes. The shame of speaking of this to anyone was overwhelming, but to a total stranger? but then that might make it easier.
?I have a condition,? T?Mur admitted finally. A condition that can make it? difficult to control my emotions.
?Is that such bad thing?? Genesse asked.
T?Mur shook her head, ?For a Vulcan it is unbearable. We are a people who pride ourselves in our ability to use logic over emotions. Emotional displays are? unthinkable. To not have control over one?s self, is to have no control in your world. My condition cost me everything; my family, my friends? everything that is important. And now? now I have sunk to the depths of that lack of control.?
Tears began to flow freely, ?Please,? T?Mur pleaded, ?please,,, I cannot live this way. It is too much to bare.?
As Genesse listened she stood up. She too closed her eyes, and place a hand on her forehead. She concentrated and felt the energy in her body move. She felt the energy in her extremities, her finger tips, her toes, and drew that energy to her center. Then with a change of the pattern of energy she sent that energy back out through her hands. She felt the energy flow from her to her patients body. Their energies intertwined and she could feel the poison in the girl?s systems. In small amounts she could neutralize effect, but in the amount she felt in T?Mur was more than her system could withstand. However, she could give her a moment of peace.
?Relax sweet one,? she said soothingly. ?You are not alone. Fear not. You are stronger than you know. I will help you all I can, but right now, find peace and sleep.?
T?Mur?s breathing started to slow down and deepen. Soon is became a steady pattern. Soon after that came sleep. Genesse breathed as well and collected her energy before it became to damaged by the radiation. It had been years since she had pushed her abilities this hard and it left her spent. The relief would not last long, but it would have to do for now.
Genesse sat back in her chair and closed her eyes for a moment. The blips and bells from outside the room called to her attention and so she answered the call.

ILLUMINARRPG: (3-1306- 1320)- The Admiral
From: amuir at sanjuan.edu (Al Muir)
Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2021 15:18:10 +0000
NRPG: The part of Skeese will now be played by Al Muir. Just getting a feel for the character here.
RPG:
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers- Hall of Decisions- Admiral Skeese- 1320)
Skeese watched as the outsiders left to return to their ship. It had been the oddest meeting he had ever attended. Not that he had attended many meetings in the past few cycles. It was difficult for him to motivate himself to be around others He would grow close to them and then they would die. Genesse was the only one that had truly worked to maintain a connection with him, which had been a mixture of annoyance and relief.
Having these strangers come, when they did, couldn?t be simply chance. There were barely enough of them to fully colonize the New World. And even if they did, how many would be taken by the wasting death. How man had already been affected? Was he? The Healer caste had never been able to discover what had been the cause of these mysterious deaths. It was simply a slow, painful, debilitating disease that seemed to eat away the victims from the inside. Perhaps these strangers can help them with more than their failed engineering efforts. He will have to hear from Genesse when she returns.
He turned to the remainder to his son, ?What do you think Captain Rhyssa, are these the same ones who had come before? And where is the one who promised to return? And do we have a future, let alone with these people of the Federation??
(reply Rhyssa)

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers- The Hall of Decisions- CO, Captain
Sekal-1323)
The Vulcan re-entered the conference room and strode to the table but
didn't return to his seat, instead he stopped at the foot facing their host
who was looking concerned.
Skeese opened his mouth to say something but Sekal beat him to the punch.
"You have my apologies for leaving so abruptly Admiral but the other group
I brought down stumbled into the corridors leading to your engineering
section and were exposed to a dangerous dose of radiation. They are
returning to my ship now for treatment."
Skeese stood to his feet. "I am very sorry that they were exposed. Is there
anything that I can do?"
The Captain shook his head. "One of your healers is accompanying my party
to assist. I have a question before I take my leave." At the Admirals
assent he continued. "We would like to study your people, both Keepers and
colonists. If it is permissible I will be sending officers back to your
ship to do so. They will not interfere in your daily routine, we only wish
to learn about you."
Skeese gave a smile. "Considering what your people are doing to assist us
it is little enough to ask. I give my permission gladly."
"When might you be available to meet with our Federation envoy?"
Skeese glanced toward his son before speaking. "Later in the day, perhaps
twelve turnings of the hour."
Sekal then gave a slight bow. "Thank you for that as well as your
hospitality. I must be going but intend to return and I'm certain Doctor
Mias will wish to see you at that time." He turned to the rest of his
group. "Away Team 1 is returning to the ship."
(Reply: Away Team 1)
He then turned and left the conference room. There was no way of knowing
the complete route Rhyssa had taken to the cargo elevator and their
equipment needed to be retrieved before leaving so in company with two
Sharlayans they retraced their steps.
(Kal'Shar-Domain of the Keepers- The Hall of Remembrance- CO, Captain
Sekal-1330)
He picked up his phaser from the table then turned to Ensign Lee as he
attached it to his belt. "Doctor Mias will logically wish to visit the
Sharlayans as soon as possible. He is to have a security escort and not
stray from the safe zones here. I will leave the details and assignments up
to you."
(Reply: Keung Lee)
His eyes next went to the Engineer. "Once back aboard the Illuminar make
what preparations you need to repair the Sharlayans engines and you may
return here when those preparations are completed. Only make sure the
command crew is notified of the departure of yourself and any of the crew
you bring back with you."
(Reply: Alantar)
Having given the instruction and all their equipment accounted for he led
the way back to the surface moving quickly.
(USS Illuminar- Deck 4, Transporter Room 1- CO, Captain Sekal-1345)
They had barely solidified on the pad but Sekal was already in motion. He
stopped only long enough to give one final instruction.
"Counselor Trei, Doctor Solice may require your assistance in sickbay."
(Reply: Trei)
He gave a brisk nod to all then strode through the door. The Ready Room was
his destination as he had an important communication to make.
(Reply: Away Team 1, any)

ILLUMINARRPG: (3-1355)- CO, Captain Sekal and FO Commander Sienna Verin
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 22:42:34 -0600
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge- CO, Captain Sekal and FO Commander Sienna
Verin -1355)
He stepped from the turbolift and paused to look about the bridge before
continuing. The stars seemed almost stationary in space due to speed of
.283c the ship was maintaining due to keeping rigid pace with the Sharlayan
asteroid ship. Out of the corner of his eye he noted the engineering
officer manning the bridge stiffen as he turned toward him then straighten
in his chair.
(Reply: Transitor iyw)
That seemed to transit around the Bridge in a wave as Skashe Winters was
quickly followed by others. An eyebrow crooked then he moved toward the
command chair and stood by Sienna for a moment. The view changed to
Kal'Shar as new readings came online pinpointing possible access from space
to the engineering sections of the ship.
Sekal turned toward the Commander. "Were my orders relayed to you by
Lieutenant Gregory?"
Sienna had been spending her time overseeing all the ship while Sekal had
been operating as a diplomat. "Aye, Sir. I assigned the rations problem to
one of our engineering interns, Cadet Valar. She is close to becoming an
Ensign and I thought this might be a good final project. She has already
begun." Sienna crossed her wrists at the small of her back, comfortably as
they spoke.
"The Sharlayans engines are in need of repair, specifically the one used
for internal power. Their system stimulates their agriculture in some way.
I wasn't able to determine the exact means while aboard. Engineering and
Operations will be overseeing repairs and resupply of fuel to their
reactors."
"I had heard that it was atomic era power and that could be a problem. Our
people are not used to working in such hazards. I will make sure the repair
teams follow the correct procedures."
He turned his attention back to the viewscreen. "Away Team 2 stumbled
unaware into an area near their Engineering spaces and were exposed to a
high level of radiation, possibly lethal due to a damaged reactor and
emergency treatment is underway."
Sienna nodded, "I am aware and concerned. I have not had a follow up
report from sickbay. I do not want to badger Dr. Solice while she is
working on saving our unfortunate crewmember. "
"The Keepers themselves appear to have enough to exist though there is very
little variety to their diet. The colonists however are underfed. There is
no way of knowing yet how many have died already or will die due to a
shortage of supply. Illuminar cannot do much in light of the numbers we had
already been given but emergency supplies might save some until relief can
arrive."
"We have at least one cadet in each major branch right now. I would like
the cadets to consider the ship a group project. It would be interesting
information for the Federation to have. Lia Mirandez is a gifted linguist
and musician. She is based in medical. I thought putting her in charge
might work. The only real concern is diplomatic, Cadets are not exactly
First Contact material due to their inability to be tactful." Sy noticed
Sekal thinking.
His reaction was thoughtful. "I have an idea that someone we helped
recently might see this as an opportunity to show their appreciation." He
turned his attention to helm.
"Lieutenant Greywolf how far is Bajor from our current position at warp 5?"
Tempest had been giving the conversation her attention, glancing down only
occasionally to verify the automated controls and heading remained firm
along with the safe distance they were maintaining from the Sharlayan ship
"One moment Captain." She ran a course through navigation then inputted the
desired speed before answering. "Bajor is approximately two days and
eighteen hours away at warp five. Would you like me to input the course
sir?"
"No Lieutenant the route of travel I'm considering would be to our current
position and not away from it. Continue current operations."
"Yes sir." She smiled as she saved the coordinates just in case the subject
came up later, it would save her a little time. ~What are the chances that
we happened to come to this area under these circumstances so soon after
averting a civil war and bloodbath on Bajor? If there's anyone in this
galaxy who would owe the Captain a favor right now it would be the
Bajorans. It seems the spirits must have arranged this.~ Tempest hid a
small smile behind her stoic mein.
"Very good." He returned to Sienna's earlier comment. "By diplomacy I
presume you mean concerning the Prime Directive. Early enthusiasm often
drowns out orders to those not fully trained. Rather than spearheading
operations on Kal'Shar I would consider them planning, initiating and
following up the tasks to be excellent experience. Putting them in that
capacity without being in direct contact with the Sharlayans would be
profitable for their development."
"They will need access to the Sharlayan data." She pointed out quickly.
"But I want
Cadet Mirandez to accompany Dr. Mias so she can study their language." Sy
glanced over Sekal slowly as if realizing something. Her console chose
that moment to beep, "Cadet Valar has finished the research part of her
assignment and needs permission to use the cargo replicators to commence
the rations?" Since the Captain was aboard he had to give the affirmative
order to begin.
"Granted. I have a communication to make. You have the bridge. And as for
the Diplomatic party, Doctor Mias will be the one to make that call."
Sienna smiled lightly, a brief nod. She knew it was Bajor he was calling
and she hoped that the religious race would help. They were known for their
charity and kindness as well as being a stubborn race.
Sekal gave a brief glance in her direction and turned toward the Ready Room.

ILLUMINARRPG: (3-1403)- CO, Captain Sekal
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 04:11:09 -0600
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Ready Room- CO, Captain Sekal -1403)
He had settled into the chair, initiated the call and was awaiting a reply.
In the interim his eyes traveled over the sideboard which contained his two
mementos. Unusual perhaps for a Vulcan but no more so than the Anelurian
Crystal and display disk his father had carried with him during his time
with the fleet.
His gaze lingered on the phaser Mark II that was held up by a crystal
framework. The dark matter phaser looked like any other pistol grip phaser
in use in Starfleet except for the red striping rather than blue. It had
been gifted to him as a research object by Starfleet Intelligence
agent/officer Jaelle Foxglove upon finding a cache of them at the hidden
base on Mars. Stennin had taken it apart, disassembled it then re-assembled
the weapon after learning its secrets.
Stennin was gone from the ship having returned to Vulcan and Foxglove was
now dead. He had not been apprised of the death directly but had seen her
name among a list of casualties sent in by Will Alexander, CO of the
Exeter. Vulcans were not maudlin or emotional by nature and the memory the
thought conjured up was not due to regret, merely an observation.
The agent had won no friends among her peers and was alone, isolated and
being hunted by a faceless enemy. During the return from their successful
mission to Trill he had requested a meeting in the CSO's office which she
had accepted. There he had offered an olive branch, his friendship as it
were because he knew there would come a time when she would need allies.
After such a long life hers had been cut off mercilessly without him having
received an answer to the gesture.
=^= Captain Sekal already? =^=
He looked down at the monitor. The woman was still young, not yet forty
years old, brown haired and still pretty. She was now adorned as befitting
her station rather than the hurriedly replicated clothing or gown she had
been wearing while in sickbay when he had visited her in an effort to begin
putting the pieces together to determine who had been behind her attempted
murder. The omicron radiation emitted by the Bajoran orbs would have
successfully seen to her death had they been too late to intervene, even
wishful estimates had given her and her colleagues in the temple no more
than forty eight hours from their arrival. That hadn't been sufficient for
the plotters though who had introduced a Cardassian poison into her system
during treatment. Fortunately the poisoner had been unfamiliar with the
drug and the dosage had been too low, it had also left a residue in her
system.
With the civil unrest on Bajor and proof a crime had been committed he had
successfully broken the edict against her removal from the temple and
Doctor Solice had overseen the purging of the residue from her system.
After 3 days aboard ship and with the unrest defused she had been released
to Bajoran security who insured her safety after the attempted
assassination. Sekal was sure of the identity of the mastermind having
built a tantalizing circumstantial framework but there had not been enough
evidence to convict Dean Vedek Horavei.
"Kai Hetel you are looking well." The color had returned to her face and
her cheeks and eyes were no longer sunken. Her eyes were bright and
movement of her head and hands were precise and steady.
=^= I was surprised when I heard the Sekal who was calling was no longer a
Lieutenant Commander. It hasn't been a month yet. =^=
He shrugged. "The rank has changed but the duties and responsibilities
remain the same."
=^=And you're adorably non-chalant about the whole thing. =^= She smiled.
=^= I have to admit it's flattering to have a dashing young Captain asking
after my well being but I'm not empty headed. I'm assuming you have a
reason for this transmission. =^= The Kai was still unwed despite being
marriageable and no doubt having had her share of admirers. Her zeal for
the Path of the Prophets had consumed her life to the point marriage and
children had never been her goal. She was the youngest Kai chosen in 400
years having just passed thirty. That was seven years ago.
She had been a compromise candidate ostensibly but from the information he
had gathered Sekal knew that to be a facade, her enemies had planned to use
her to denounce the Oralian Way and roll back the reforms that had taken
place in its favor. They had not expected a woman of strong will who had
not only resisted their pressure but had been more progressive than those
who had served before her. And besides that someone who put the spiritual
needs of her people above political aspirations.
He nodded. "We are on a mission not far from Bajoran space."
=^= And what is this mission about? Classified I'm sure but beyond that of
a head of state?=^=
"A diplomatic matter for the Federation." He noted.
She laughed. =^= You're going to make me ask aren't you? I'm assuming
that's to insure you don't break any Starfleet directives. As Kai I also
exert considerable diplomatic influence for Bajor. Now that it is on the
record please continue. =^=
He cupped his hands on the desktop and leaned forward slightly. "A colony
ship from the gamma quadrant with their destination in Federation space.
I'm not able to give you further details on that matter. The power source
that influences their food supply is breaking down. We will make the
repairs but they are in need of aid to avoid starvation of the colonists."
Her mouth lost the smile. =^= How many?=^=
"Currently unknown. I estimate roughly twenty thousand, perhaps more.
Certainly not the thirty thousand we expected. The ship has limited
resources, we will provide what we can but it will not help more than
fifteen percent of that number and not for long."
=^= Any special dietary needs?=^=
"Unknown at this time but what they served us appeared to be standard fare.
We had no adverse reaction to it."
=^= Just a moment. =^=
She reached forward and spoke on comm for a moment then the screen split
with her to his left and another Bajoran on the right. The man showed
surprise for an instant.
=^= Minister Crede how many empty cargo ships do we have in orbit or at
dock?=^=
The man sputtered for a moment while mumbling the word strange several
times as he consulted his screen. At last he was finished with the
manifests. =^= Two Kai Hetel. They are due to be loaded before tomorrow.=^=
=^= I'm pressing them into service on a diplomatic mission. Are there
enough raw foodstuffs, grain and vegetables to fill them?=^=
He gave a shocked expression. =^= But Kai Hetel we have trade agreements!=^=
His hands were moving frenetically.
=^= Will be fulfilled with a slight delay. You haven't answered my
question.=^=
=^= Y..y..yes. There are four cargo vessels coming in three days to load up
on supplies for Cardassia. =^=
=^= Good! Load the two currently available and you will send two of the
incoming ships after them. In the meanwhile I want those four cargo loads
replaced and you will do what is necessary to get our agreements
fulfilled.=^=
He made a strangled noise.
Sekal hit the comm on the monitor. "Lieutenant Grey Wolf I need our current
location, course and speed sent to me quickly."
He heard a smile in her voice. =^= Sending them now Captain.=^= His facial
expression must have shown his surprise.
=^=Your crew is one step ahead of you Captain?=^= The Kai's voice was
teasing.
He didn't look up at her until he had forwarded the data that had come up
on his screen. The ministers widened eyes telegraphed that he had received
them and he started working on his interface.
"What is the speed of the cargo ships minster?"
The Bajoran looked up for a moment. =^= Cruising speed warp five with warp
six capability for short distances. =^=
Sekal nodded. "Thank you. How long to load the first two ships?"
=^= Three days at the most, possibly less. I will make sure the shipment
gets top priority.=^=
"Thank you minister."
=^= Don't thank me, thank Kai Hetel. Now I have to be going to get the
process started. =^=
The minister signed off leaving Sekal alone with Krevi on the channel.
"Thank you Kai Hetel."
Her smile diminished as she shook her head. =^= I would have sent two as a
matter of course but after what you and your crew did for Bajor and myself
four is the least I could allow myself to live with. Will that be enough to
get them through do you think? =^=
"I do not have that information as of yet. Once I know for certain I will
inform you whether it will be sufficient or not. Your first shipment should
be arriving within six days."
=^= I'll have Vedek Gele monitoring my communications so you won't have any
trouble getting through to me. =^=
Sekal remembered the Bajoran well, after recovering from the omicron
radiation he had asked for and received permission to take up a vigil
outside the door to her isolation room and had stayed there for the full
day until she awakened despite the presence of armed security. It was
Sekal's understanding the guards had become quite fond of him.

"Then congratulations are in order."
=^= You and your crew can convey them in person, you are all invited.

She laughed. =^= Goodbye for now and the Prophets watch over you. =^=
She signed off leaving him with remembrance of what had transpired upon
Bajor. The Prophets including Benjamin Sisko had long arms but he doubted
that their interest would be picqued by an event happening outside of
Bajoran space.

ILLUMINARRPG: Repost (3- 1403)- CO, Captain Sekal
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 04:37:01 -0600
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Ready Room- CO, Captain Sekal -1403)
He had settled into the chair, initiated the call and was awaiting a reply.
In the interim his eyes traveled over the sideboard which contained his two
mementos. Unusual perhaps for a Vulcan but no more so than the Anelurian
Crystal and display disk his father had carried with him during his time
with the fleet.
His gaze lingered on the phaser Mark II that was held up by a crystal
framework. The dark matter phaser looked like any other pistol grip phaser
in use in Starfleet except for the red striping rather than blue. It had
been gifted to him as a research object by Starfleet Intelligence
agent/officer Jaelle Foxglove upon finding a cache of them at the hidden
base on Mars. Stennin had taken it apart, disassembled it then re-assembled
the weapon after learning its secrets.
Stennin was gone from the ship having returned to Vulcan and Foxglove was
now dead. He had not been apprised of the death directly but had seen her
name among a list of casualties sent in by "Trip" Williams, CO of the
Exeter and twin brother to his first officer. Vulcans were not maudlin or
emotional by nature and the memory the thought conjured up was not due to
regret, merely an observation.
The agent had won no friends among her peers and was alone, isolated and
being hunted by a faceless enemy. During the return from their successful
mission to Trill he had requested a meeting in the CSO's office which she
had accepted. There he had offered an olive branch, his friendship as it
were because he knew there would come a time when she would need allies.
After such a long life hers had been cut off mercilessly without him having
received an answer to the gesture.
=^= Captain Sekal already? =^=
He looked down at the monitor. The woman was still young, not yet forty
years old, brown haired and still pretty. She was now adorned as befitting
her station rather than the hurriedly replicated clothing or gown she had
been wearing while in sickbay when he had visited her in an effort to begin
putting the pieces together to determine who had been behind her attempted
murder. The omicron radiation emitted by the Bajoran orbs would have
successfully seen to her death had they been too late to intervene, even
wishful estimates had given her and her colleagues in the temple no more
than forty eight hours from their arrival. That hadn't been sufficient for
the plotters though who had introduced a Cardassian poison into her system
during treatment. Fortunately the poisoner had been unfamiliar with the
drug and the dosage had been too low, it had also left a residue in her
system.
With the civil unrest on Bajor and proof a crime had been committed he had
successfully broken the edict against her removal from the temple and
Doctor Solice had overseen the purging of the residue from her system.
After 3 days aboard ship and with the unrest defused she had been released
to Bajoran security who insured her safety after the attempted
assassination. Sekal was sure of the identity of the mastermind having
built a tantalizing circumstantial framework but there had not been enough
evidence to convict Dean Vedek Horavei.
"Kai Hetel you are looking well." The color had returned to her face and
her cheeks and eyes were no longer sunken. Her eyes were bright and
movement of her head and hands were precise and steady.
=^= I was surprised when I heard the Sekal who was calling was no longer a
Lieutenant Commander. It hasn't been a month yet. =^=
He shrugged. "The rank has changed but the duties and responsibilities
remain the same."
=^=And you're adorably non-chalant about the whole thing. =^= She smiled.
=^= I have to admit it's flattering to have a dashing young Captain asking
after my well being but I'm not empty headed. I'm assuming you have a
reason for this transmission. =^= The Kai was still unwed despite being
marriageable and no doubt having had her share of admirers. Her zeal for
the Path of the Prophets had consumed her life to the point marriage and
children had never been her goal. She was the youngest Kai chosen in 400
years having just passed thirty. That was seven years ago.
She had been a compromise candidate ostensibly but from the information he
had gathered Sekal knew that to be a facade, her enemies had planned to use
her to denounce the Oralian Way and roll back the reforms that had taken
place in its favor. They had not expected a woman of strong will who had
not only resisted their pressure but had been more progressive than those
who had served before her. And besides that someone who put the spiritual
needs of her people above political aspirations.
He nodded. "We are on a mission not far from Bajoran space."
=^= And what is this mission about? Classified I'm sure but beyond that of
a head of state?=^=
"A diplomatic matter for the Federation." He noted.
She laughed. =^= You're going to make me ask aren't you? I'm assuming
that's to insure you don't break any Starfleet directives. As Kai I also
exert considerable diplomatic influence for Bajor. Now that it is on the
record please continue. =^=
He cupped his hands on the desktop and leaned forward slightly. "A colony
ship from the gamma quadrant with their destination in Federation space.
I'm not able to give you further details on that matter. The power source
that influences their food supply is breaking down. We will make the
repairs but they are in need of aid to avoid starvation of the colonists."
Her mouth lost the smile. =^= How many?=^=
"Currently unknown. I estimate roughly twenty thousand, perhaps more.
Certainly not the thirty thousand we expected. The ship has limited
resources, we will provide what we can but it will not help more than
fifteen percent of that number and not for long."
=^= Any special dietary needs?=^=
"Unknown at this time but what they served us appeared to be standard fare.
We had no adverse reaction to it."
=^= Just a moment. =^=
She reached forward and spoke on comm for a moment then the screen split
with her to his left and another Bajoran on the right. The man showed
surprise for an instant.
=^= Minister Crede how many empty cargo ships do we have in orbit or at
dock?=^=
The man sputtered for a moment while mumbling the word strange several
times as he consulted his screen. At last he was finished with the
manifests. =^= Two Kai Hetel. They are due to be loaded before tomorrow.=^=
=^= I'm pressing them into service on a diplomatic mission. Are there
enough raw foodstuffs, grain and vegetables to fill them?=^=
He gave a shocked expression. =^= But Kai Hetel we have trade agreements!=^=
His hands were moving frenetically.
=^= Will be fulfilled with a slight delay. You haven't answered my
question.=^=
=^= Y..y..yes. There are four cargo vessels coming in three days to load up
on supplies for Cardassia. =^=
=^= Good! Load the two currently available and you will send two of the
incoming ships after them. In the meanwhile I want those four cargo loads
replaced and you will do what is necessary to get our agreements
fulfilled.=^=
He made a strangled noise.
Sekal hit the comm on the monitor. "Lieutenant Grey Wolf I need our current
location, course and speed sent to me quickly."
He heard a smile in her voice. =^= Sending them now Captain.=^= His facial
expression must have shown his surprise.
=^=Your crew is one step ahead of you Captain?=^= The Kai's voice was
teasing.
He didn't look up at her until he had forwarded the data that had come up
on his screen. The ministers widened eyes telegraphed that he had received
them and he started working on his interface.
"What is the speed of the cargo ships minster?"
The Bajoran looked up for a moment. =^= Cruising speed warp five with warp
six capability for short distances. =^=
Sekal nodded. "Thank you. How long to load the first two ships?"
=^= Three days at the most, possibly less. I will make sure the shipment
gets top priority.=^=
"Thank you minister."
=^= Don't thank me, thank Kai Hetel. Now I have to be going to get the
process started. =^=
The minister signed off leaving Sekal alone with Krevi on the channel.
"Thank you Kai Hetel."
Her smile diminished as she shook her head. =^= I would have sent two as a
matter of course but after what you and your crew did for Bajor and myself
four is the least I could allow myself to live with. Will that be enough to
get them through do you think? =^=
"I do not have that information as of yet. Once I know for certain I will
inform you whether it will be sufficient or not. Your first shipment should
be arriving within six days."
=^= I'll have Vedek Gele monitoring my communications so you won't have any
trouble getting through to me. =^=
Sekal remembered the Bajoran well, after recovering from the omicron
radiation he had asked for and received permission to take up a vigil
outside the door to her isolation room and had stayed there for the full
day until she awakened despite the presence of armed security. It was
Sekal's understanding the guards had become quite fond of him.
"What is Jisel's status?"
Her smile went up several scales in intensity. =^= He is extremely happy as
am I. We are to be wed in two months.=^=
"Then congratulations are in order."
=^= You and your crew can convey them in person, you are all invited.
Without your intervention it would never have happened. It will be a formal
state affair unfortunately. I will send the Illuminar a blanket
invitation. =^=
An eyebrow quirked. "After the wedding I attended eleven days ago I assure
you that your wedding will be tame in comparison."
She laughed. =^= Goodbye for now and the Prophets watch over you. =^=
She signed off leaving him with remembrance of what had transpired upon

ILLUMINARRPG: (3 - 1600) COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory
From: dieter.gregory1701 at gmail.com (Dieter Gregory)
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 15:06:19 -0500
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar ? Deck 5 ? Sickbay ? COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory ? 16:00)
The team had returned to the USS Illuminar and under the care of Dr.
Solina and the team, were on the road to recovery.They would have to
report for daily scans and additional treatments, but the major damage
was already on the road to repair. He had reported to Commander
Williams-Verin the Captains requests
Around 1430, Dr. Solace came out from the isolation space where they had
taken Hendrick.She looked unhappy.Gregory flagged a nurse down, and she
told him that Hendrick had succumbed to his radiation injuries.He had
suffered more than double the normal lethal dose.He shook his head and
realized he would have to write a letter home to his parents, as
Hendrick died on his watch.That led him back to the question of why the
tricorders didn?t pick up the radiation.Once he was out of here, he?s
have to get someone from operations to interface with engineering to
solve that problem.
When 1500 rolled around, Gregory had finished his first draft of the
letter to Hendrick?s parents.Being buried in his PADD, he didn?t see the
Captain enter sickbay. He looked up from his PADD to see the Captain
quietly waiting, ?Mr. Gregory, I trust you are recovering??
?Yes Sir,? he replied. ?I have drafted a letter to send to Mr.
Hendrick?s parents.He suffered too much radiation for the doctor to save
him.?
Sekal nodded at his Chief of Operations.?That is unfortunate.?
?As soon as I can, I?ll get after figuring out why the tricorders didn?t
pick up the radiation,? he began as the Captain raised his hand.
?Mr. Gregory, that is important, yes and I will encourage you determine
that issue.However, as Chief of Operations, I am putting you in charge
of the Sharlayan repair mission.We are to repair their power and
engineering systems as well as provide resources to the inhabitants
while I work to get Star Fleet to provide additional aid. ?
?Sir?? Gregory said.
?Questions Mr. Gregory?? the Captain asked.
?Sir, no sir.?Gregory replied.
?Excellent.I will expect updates at to the progress of your work.One
final thing,? the Vulcan paused, ?Your actions must not violate General
Order 1. Make sure that the engineering teams partner with the
Sharlayan?s to train them how to maintain the operation of their
systems.You can provide them with appropriate tools of the appropriate
technical development.Likewise, make sure that everything is documented
and provided to them in a way that does not impact their development.?
Gregory nodded, ?Yes Sir, I will do my best.?
The Captain nodded and moved off to attend to other business, while
Gregory considered the task ahead of him.

ILLUMINARRPG: (3, 1605) CMO Lt. Quinna Solice
From: msklbailey2016 at gmail.com (Kris Bailey)
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 20:22:14 -0600
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar -- Sickbay -- Deck 5 -- CMO Lt. Quinna Solice -- 1605)
Quinna and the rest of the team materialized in sickbay. She started to
bark out orders. ?I need an iso room available yesterday. The away team
need inoculations. Put them all on a biobed and give them minimum doses of
Arithrazine.?
Quinna disappeared into isolation room 1. There she worked on Hendrick.
She had managed to find a weak heartbeat, but now it was gone. There was
nothing that could be done. ?Call it. Time of death ****?
Quinna tried the hardest she could, but a tear fell from her eye. She
managed to catch the rest. No one knew that this was her first death.
?Se...se,? Quinna was choked up. She cleared her throat and started
again. ?Seal the room. We will take care of Mr. Hendrick when sickbay
empties.? Quinna then initiated a stasis field about the lost crew member.
They exited the room and Quinna seemed to walk past everyone. In Iso room
2 was Ensign T.Mur.along the way she noticed that Ariel was in sickbay,
?All, Counselor Trei, I am glad you are here.?
(Reply Trei)
?I need to go into Iso Room 2. Ensign T?Mur needs treatment. The rest of
the team has also been exposed to radiation. I have ordered minimum doses
of Arithrazine.? Quinna started but then stopped.
(Reply Trei)
?Can you please monitor them? Do not let them leave sickbay.?
(Reply Trei)
Quinna felt relief when Trei agreed to help. ?Thanks, I owe you one.?
Quinna turned and motioned for Genesse to follow her. They entered the iso
room where T?Mur was in. She was still in agony, Quinna administered a
sedative, to help calm the Vulcan down. Quinna started thinking that the
radiation may have escalated T?Mur?s condition.
?Do you know the chemical composition of the radiation, Genesse?? Quinna
asked.
(Reply Genesse)
?The more I know, the better the treatment.? Quinna said and then turned
to the nurse, ?We need more intense treatment. We will start with an
antiproton treatment.?
Quinna turned to Genesse, ?How do you treat your people??
(Reply Genesse)

Penny lay on the bio bed. The picture of absolute misery. Her long red hair was untidy , long gone was the tight bun on top.She had made to look more intelligent.
The radiation treatment was making her head feel all fuzzy. Five minutes. Five minutes she had been a science officer! Then she had received a lethal dose of radiation. Although the nice Dr Solice had assured Penny. They could cure her. McTaggard had reverted to, frightened girly mode. Going into a fit of loud cries and sobs.
Captain Sekal would probably have heard and was now. Planning to have her taken off the Illuminar.
Maybe she could return to Earth? Penny need not go home to Edinburgh. Her best friend Susan owned a respected dress shop in Glasgow. True it meant having to put up with her annoying brother Rupert. Who was obsessed with porridge and his Scottish Terrier. But she had the Wee One. The Chihuahua would keep The Noble Mr Broad Paws at bay.
? Doctor. I dinna feel to well ? she said miserable.

ILLUMINARRPG: (3-1610)-Healer of the Keeper Clan, Genesse
From: amuir at sanjuan.edu (Al Muir)
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2021 04:25:44 +0000
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate: 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Sickbay - Healer of the Keeper Clan, Genesse- 1610)
Over the course of the last three hours Genesse had felt like a learner. She had never seen the wondrous medical tools that these people had available to them. They had tools that would heal broken bones in minutes. They had a device called a ?neural caliper? that could even stem death from affecting the brain functions. It was all miraculous in ways.
True to her original diagnosis, the one called Hendricks died. And as predicted, Solice, as she had learned her name was pronounced, took it hard. But she held herself together well and kept working. Some of the patients recovered quickly. They were stripped, scrubbed, cleansed and then medicated. Slowly but surely they seemed to recover. Others were not as lucky. The best that could be said was that they did not get worse, which was immensely better than she and her people managed. On the Kal?Shar the radiation poisoning was a death sentence.
Some others came into the ?sickbay?, what a strange term, but they do house their sick here, to help. Solice saw one that she seemed more familiar with and spoke with her briefly. The doctor turned to her and motioned for her to follow. Genesse nodded and followed the doctor into the room with T?Mur, who was, once again, suffering. A ?hypospray? delivered a sedative.
Then Solice turned to Genesse, "Do you know the chemical composition of the radiation, Genesse?? Quinna asked.
Genesse frowned, ?I am unaware of such things. This would be information that an engineering sect would have, unfortunately we have? lost those people. How would this technical information help us?"
?The more I know, the better the treatment.? Quinna said and then turned to the nurse, ?We need more intense treatment. We will start with an antiproton treatment.?
Quinna turned to Genesse, ?How do you treat your people??
Genesse looked over at T?Mur sadly. Her mind shifted back to screaming and moaning. Blood, death and panic as a whole sect of their community died slow and agonizing deaths. She did not wish to live through anything even close to that again. That feeling of hopelessness was exactly what Solice was going through with Hendricks.
?Our treatment was something less than successful,? Genesse admitted. ?We used a protein granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to promote the body to fight the sickness from within. We used a dye to bind to the radioactive elements that was supposed to help eliminate the radioactive particles. The problem was that they had absorbed so much radiation in such a short span of time that it was not possible to keep up with the damage that was being done, especially in so many? people.?
Genesse could feel her breathing grow rapid and her eyes began to burn as she fought back the tears that wanted to fall. She forced herself to control her breath, closed her eyes and focused on now. This was not the time to fall apart. She shook her head and opened her eyes. Looking at T?Mur reminded her that she was a healer, and this drug induced peace the girl was having was not going to be sufficient.
?You have so much more here than I had then, and especially now. What can I do to help you??
(reply Solice)

As Trei placed her hand on Jaton's shoulder, he felt a soothing feeling
emanating from her, but a growing feeling of dread was brewing up from his
stomach. He seemed to know what was coming.
"I am sorry to tell you the Hendicks has died. Do you need to talk about
it?"
Jaton withdrew from the counselor, and leaned on the wall, allowing himself
to slide down it until he was sitting on the floor, hiding his face in his
hands. He sighed.
"I know I wasn't in command of this mission, but I was one of the senior
officers. I feel like he died on my watch. He's the first officer to die
under my watch."

Then Solice turned to Genesse, "Do you know the chemical composition of the
radiation, Genesse?? Quinna asked.
Genesse frowned, ?I am unaware of such things. This would be information
that an engineering sect would have, unfortunately we have? lost those
people. How would this technical information help us?"
?The more I know, the better the treatment.? Quinna said and then turned
to the nurse, ?We need more intense treatment. We will start with an
antiproton treatment.?
Quinna turned to Genesse, ?How do you treat your people??
?Our treatment was something less than successful,? Genesse admitted. ?We
used a protein granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to promote the body to
fight the sickness from within. We used a dye to bind to the radioactive
elements that was supposed to help eliminate the radioactive particles. The
problem was that they had absorbed so much radiation in such a short span
of time that it was not possible to keep up with the damage that was being
done, especially in so many? people.?
?You have so much more here than I had then, and especially now. What can I
do to help you??
Quinna thought for a moment, ?I know this is very overwhelming, perhaps you
can help me check on the patients in the isolation rooms. But First, I
would like to give you an exam. In case you need to be inoculated
yourself.?
(Reply Genesse)
?I have to admit, having your physiology on record will also help us know
more about how your body works and how the medication will work best on
your people.?
(Reply Genesse)
?It won?t hurt,? Quinna said, hoping for an agreement.

This is meant more to the science department but is it possible to replicate a ton of environmental enhancers? to create a bio field surrounding the colony.? The field could cut the radiation down greatly and provide a better atmosphere.

Interesting idea, but IMO it violates General Order 1, using our
technology to interfer with the development of a pre-warp culture.
Our solution, to repair the current atomic pile will reduce the spilling
radiation that should help the colonists.? Once the pile is repaired, if
it is still spilling high levels of radiation, we'll have to come up
with Option B.

Edward,
It isn't a bad idea, and in cooperative (improv) writing, the general
rule is to run with things and never say no, which is what I try to do
in character.
OOC is where we discuss ideas.?? And it may become plan B or C or D,
depending on what we find.
Cheers,
Tim

"I know this is very overwhelming,? Solice offered. "perhaps you can help me check on the patients in the isolation rooms. But First, I would like to give you an exam. In case you need to be inoculated yourself.?
Genesse looked at the doctor quizzically and said the word slowly, ?In?oc?u?lated? I?m uncertain of what that is, but I can assure you that I
am in perfect health. However, it would give me an opportunity to observe your techniques so please, fell free?
She followed Solice to a boiled and sat down on it. The bed immediately sprung to life as the bed automatically began to take bio readings. Instinctively Genesse jumped off the bed and looked at it as all of the lights and sounds disappeared. Then she laughed, mostly at herself. ?You must think me such an ignorant physician.?
She sat back down and the bio bed came back to life. She looked in awe at the readings, recognizing some, but others were quite different. The machine was actually, was that her genetic code? She would have had to take blood and tissue samples to get that information. And it would have taken hours, if not days to get the accurate information.
?I have to admit,? Solice said, "having your physiology on record will also help us know more about how your body works and how the medication will work best on your people.?
Genesse had to agree. Having detailed physiology would, indeed, make treating her people much more efficient. ?I see what you mean. Having all of this information,? she pointed to the read outs of the boiled, ? ill certain help the process.?
?It won?t hurt,? Quinna said, hoping for an agreement.
?How does your machine get such detailed information without all of the invasive procedures??Genes asked.

"Wish I could tell you all the details of the device,? Solice told Genesse. "The sensors scan you on the inside and then it reads out on my device."
Genesse looked at the device Solice held as she turned it to face the Healer. Geneses?s mind was still going through what she had just heard. They had a device that could ?sense? their insides. However, considering what she had already seen, it was not really so magical. It was just another in a series of amazing accomplishments that she has seen.
?Notice it shows you are very healthy,? the doctor pointed at various points in the display. "As you said. But I find it interesting that you have been exposed to the radiation, but not any signs of Cellular degeneration.?
Genesse looked at the red makers on the readout, beginning to make sense of the data. ?Could it be that we have built up some kind, well, immunity to low levels of radiation? And does this mean that our shielding around the engineering zone is inadequate? It would explain the wasting sickness that had taken so many of our people.? ~Including the Admiral?s life mate.~
"I am willing to bet,? Solice sounded more optimistic, "between you and me, we can come up with something to help those who are still ill with radiation, that you, yourself can recreate."
?Me?? Genesse sounded less optimistic. ?Are you suggesting we treat this radiation sickness like a virus, and create an? anti-radiation vaccination? Is that even possible? If it, then I will do what ever I can, and give what ever I have. Let?s proceed.?

Jaton shook as he began sobbing silently. He didn't know why. He didn't
know the man well, but still it felt like a total body blow. After a minute
or two, he was able to stop. He faced Trei and did what he could to dry his
eyes.
"I'm sorry, counsellor. I don't know why I'm so emotional. I must've met
the man only a few times, but then again I was responsible for him. I let
him down."
He stood up slowly. He smiled a little bit, and continued wiping his tears
away. Partly because he felt like he needed to and partly because he didn't
know what else to do. And partly as a wince as the tears mixed with the
blood from the lesions on his face.
"Serves me right," he said with a little chuckle. "That's what I get for
crying before going through decon."

Quinna had finally gotten T?Mur to a state where treatment was being
administered and her body relaxed. She exited the exam room and looked
over at the biobed. Taggart seemed to be the newest occupant. She moved
over to Penny?s side. On the way, Quinna grabbed a quick glance at Trei
monitoring and adjusting medication to other patients.
? Doctor. I dinna feel to well ? she said miserable.
? I know you don?t. Can you tell me how??
? Tis me heed. It feels all fuzzy ? She said her eyes brimming with tears.
?Anywhere else?? Quinna asked as she could see a lesion appear on her
forehead, as a result of the radiation.
? Och. Nay it?s just me heed doctor. ? Penny sniffed
Quinna moved over to the closest med station and found a pain reliever and
a dermal refrigerator. She went back to Taggard and administered the pain
reliever.
?Hopefully, you should have some relief soon.? Quinna said as she ran the
dermal refrigerator over the lesion.
(Reply Taggard)
?Your body temperature is extremely high.? Quinna knew that was also a
part of radiation sickness.

After Gregory got dismissed from Sickbay after being severely admonished

to his quarters for a shower and fresh uniform before going to the
conference room.
Tea in hand, he sent a note to the Engineering and Operations teams to
meet at 1800 to discuss the mission.? There was a lot to do to get ready
for the meeting and he made the most of the time by reviewing the scans
that the Illuminar had been making of the ship.? He located what looked
like a large door.? The radiation readings from that door were pretty
high and based on T?Mur?s map that should be a way into the engineering
space.
He paused, and tapped his com badge,? ?Chief Lee, can I request that you
second Ensign T?Mur to Operations for the time being.? She has been
working on the Sharalyan language and we may need her skills to figure
out details as we affect repair to the ship.?
=^= Acknowledge.? Ensign T?Mur will be reassigned to Operations =^= said
Keung.? As I got enough issues with staff shortages, thought Keung.?
First Penny, now T?Mur
?Thank you, Chief,? Gregory replied? ?Perhaps you should join the
planning meeting so Security knows what we are doing.? Who knows what
might happen.?
=^= I would be happy to join the planning meeting but bear in mind I
know next to nothing when it comes to engineering issues.? What sort of
security issues do you envisage? =^=
?The famous Irish poet Oscar Wilde once said ?To expect the unexpected
shows a thoroughly modern intellect? Gregory quoted.? ?My concern from a
security point of view will be the distribution of supplies to the
people on the generations ship.? We don?t want to have our distribution
stations overwhelmed or people causing riots for food.?
?I see!? said Keung who never read anything by Oscar Wilde.? As far as
he work out, I need to have to some intelligence to deal with the
unexpected.? Still he was familiar with the logistics of the
distribution of supplies in crisis situations as it so happened in the
past when he was involved with emergency relief programmes.
Next, Gregory called the doctor. ?Dr. Solice, I will be holding a
planning meeting about our mission to help the Sharalyans, and having
discovered the radiation issue, if you or someone from medical could
come to the main briefing room at 1800 to discuss radiation protocols, I
would greatly appreciate it.?
Quinna tapped her commbadge to reply and the familiar chirp rang out,
?Understood, I will be there.?? Quinna kept things brief.
(Deck 1 - Briefing Room - COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory -- 1805)
Gregory waited at the front of the room as people filtered in.? On the
display screen was the Sharalyan ship rotating in three dimensions.? He
had to admire the engineering that these people put into developing such
a ship.? Now they were in distress and Star Fleet was here to the rescue.
Penny silently entered the room last. She had been told to attend. So
she could learn how missions are planned. Sitting as far away from
anyone as she could. McTaggard hoped no one would pick on her.
He looked around the room, ?Everyone at ease, this isn?t a formal
briefing.? Rather it is a planning event.? You see the Sharalyan ship
behind me.? We have learned they used atomic energy to power their ship,
and that started failing about 6 years ago.? I have heard they have been
traveling for over 900 years.? This is Operation A New Hope?
?We have a two-fold mission.? The first is to effect repairs on the
power plant.? This is complicated by General Order 1, and the fact that
the Sharalyan?s have no idea how to repair the damage.? That means we
can?t just pop in our technology.? So we have to repair an old nuclear
reactor, which is spilling high levels of radiation.? We also have been
asked to provide the Sharalyan?s with training on how to maintain their
system. ?
?The first complication is that the power system keeps the lights on, as
it were.? If we take down the pile, the ship is going to get cold
quickly. That is where this comes into play,? he highlighted part of the
asteroid.? ?This appears to be a large door and based on the maps Ms.
T?Mur was able to download,? he adjusted the image, and a pattern of
corridors and large spaces overlaid the outer edges of the asteroid, ?It
goes directly to the engineering plant.? We had not finished studying
the maps, but we didn?t find another power station.?
?So we need to figure out how to power the ship while we implement
repairs, else this is all for naught.?
?And with the levels of radiation, we need to follow strict radiation
protocols, which is why I?ve asked the Doctor to give us a reminder
briefing on radiation safety.?
?The second mission is humanitarian, in that we need to provide what
rations we can spare to help the people.? We don?t have a census yet,
but the goal would be to supplement what stores they have with what we
can spare.? The Captain is working with Star Fleet to try to get a
supply ship or three to come this way to help with the food crisis.?
?Dr. Solice, why don?t you review radiation protocols with everyone, and
we can brainstorm our next steps.?
?We are looking at some very intense radiation.? Even those working in
radiation suites will need regular innoculations.?? Quinna stood and
moved over to the console.? She showed a rough schematic of the area.?
The concentric circles are zoned off.
?As you can see, those working in the main leak area will have to be
inoculated every 30 minutes.? Since you will be wearing a radiation
suit, they will be programmed to auto administer the medication.? Next
zone out will be every 45 minutes.? So it will continue as an
exponential inverse.? Those in the farthest zone will not need suits and
will need to inoculate every 4 hours.?? Quinna sat but concluded, What
is important, those in the 2 innermost zones can only work for 2 hours
before then they must exit the zone and cannot return for 10 hours.??
Quinna took a deep breath.? She did not mention that she will be
traveling though all the zones so she can monitor the crew.
?Dr. Solice, how much protection do our worker bee?s provide for the
team?? The door looks large enough to get them in place.? Not sure how
large the engine space is, but even a single worker bee could provide a
lot of help in moving the radioactive pile??
Quinna bit her lower lip as she thought about it.? ?The Worker Bee could
provide more of a shield, however repairing the leak is probably larger
than a one man job.? We also have to consider how corrosive the
radiation will be on the worker bee.? We would have to monitor the Bee.?
Gregory nodded, ?Thank you Doctor. How is the ship stocked for the
necessary medications?? Will you require dedicated stores for
replication of them???We are already mass producing supplies to
innoculate the population, however, we are going to look at what they
have to produce some on the medicines that will work.? Hopefully with
the repairs, they will not have a need for it.?? Quinna said.
Gregory turned his attention to the Engineering team, ?The next order of
business is a plan to provide power to the ship while we are repairing
their systems.? I have here that Mr. Alantar is estimating a 6 day job
or so.? Hoping we don?t find any mysteries.?
?The first order of business will be to keep the lights on.? I am
proposing we use a shuttle to power the Sharylan ship while the repairs
are ongoing.? I?ve estimated it will take a full day to get that in
place, followed by the three days of repair to their pile.? That?s a lot
of work, especially within the parameters of what Dr. Solice has
established.? We will establish a decontamination site within Cargo Bay
1, and use transporter room 2 exclusively for moving teams to and from
the asteroid staging site, which will be by the shuttlecraft we are
using to power the ship.?
?What about that control panel we found?? Any thoughts on that Mr. Matrix??
?I think the repairs are obviously a priority. I can get the majority of
the tasks done in about 12 hours...more if I have help. I need to know
what priorities you want to address first...communications, defensive
systems, etc? I have addressed some of the routine repairs with an
automated computer routine...the computer will augment standard repairs
via voice command and availability. ?
Gregory nodded.
?We also need to figure out how to distribute the rations to the people
that are on the ship.? This will have to coordinate between Engineering
- I hear that Ms. Valar has been involved in starting that project -
Operations, and I?ll have Ensign Chifukukku lead that team.? Since we
can?t transport too deep into the ship, we?ll need to round up some
bodies to help carry the food to whatever distribution points we setup.?
We will need to talk to the Admiral to learn more about the people.?
?A quick look at our current supplies shows we have approximately 27,000
units of material in the replicator buffer which is enough for the crew
for 45 days.? As you know we recycle as much as we can which is why we
don?t carry more.? We also have an emergency supply of 3,000 units that
are not to be touched, unless the Captain declares an emergency.? With
the transwarp capabilities of this ship, we could be a resupply center
within 48 hours, so we?ll have to figure that out in our calculations.?
Ms. Valar, meet with Ensign Chifukukku and bring me a recommendation by
0800 tomorrow morning.?
Gregory turned to the CSO, ?Mr. Alyl, your thoughts on how to address
our communication issues between each other and with the ship??
Jaton thought for a minute. ?While the communicators are mostly shielded
from low levels of gamma radiation, the spikes of alpha and beta
radiation isn?t something that the rank and file of the Federation deals
with on a regular basis. As such, our communicators aren?t shielded
against it. I?d suggest that we bring along comm boosters and deploy
them every 300 meters as we traverse the ship. And move to within line
of sight of one if you need to make contact with the Illuminar. I?d also
recommend that all members of the away team be accompanied by at least
one other person at all times, should one commbadge go down.?
?That is an excellent idea.? I think we still need to learn more about
this radiation, and why it was not picked up by our tricorders.? Could
that radiation leak into the habitable areas without them realizing??
Even low doses could cause issues.? Do you think Science can follow up
on that??
?Again, it?s not something we?ve had to deal with in so long since
almost all spacefaring races ditched centuries ago. I wouldn?t be
surprised if tricorders just don?t scan for it by default. We?ll have to
remodulate them in order to detect the radiation.
?As for leaking into the habitable areas, it?s quite likely. I?d suggest
we do deep level scans of the entire ship and find out where exactly the
radiation has seeped into. I?d also suggest asking the healers if there
has been an uptick in rates of cancer and birth defects.?
The meeting continued as ideas were tossed out and analyzed.? Slowly the
group started to reach a consensus plan for the operation.? It was
ambitious, but it was a large project.? Everyone seemed enthusiastic,
but the brunt of the hard work was going to be the engineering teams.?
He?s second some of the Operations staff to assist, even if they
documented what was done so that a comprehensive manual could be
generated to allow the Sharalyans to complete their journey, to wherever
they could go.? The planetary survey and other diplomatic niceties had
to be completed stil.
As the conversations started to die down, ?Thank you all for your
thoughts, ideas and comments.? I will be putting them all together and
start releasing the final operational orders shortly.? I recommend
everyone get a good night's sleep, we have a lot of work to do.? Dismissed.?
Gregory stood by the door and thanked each person individually as he
ingrained their faces into his brain. ? He had a lot of work to do.?
This was no small task.

Day: 3

Five Minutes. 300 seconds. That is it. Tick. Tick. Quinna stood at the
entrance of her office. She looked. And it was dark. Tick. Tick. As she
had an old fashion clock in her office, she heard it tick in the dead
silence.
When she walked into the room, she ordered the computer to lock the door,
as she did not want to be disturbed. Quinna moved to the corner of the
room. The darkest corner as the clock still went tick, tick, tick, tick.
She slid down the wall and pulled her knees to her chest. Her arms wrapped
around her knees holding them closer to her chest as the clock ticked on.
Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick.
Quinna sat there emotionless. She had suppressed the feeling she had that
day. With every tick of the clock, she let her wall fall. Tick, tick,
tick. But on the next tick, a solitaire tear fell from her cheek. TICK.
All of a sudden the waterworks began and Quinna buried her face in her
knees as she started to cry.
The sobs were uncontrollable. They muted the tick so Quinna no longer had
a sense of time. She lost her first patient that day and it tore her heart
more than she let on. Quinna cried and cried until her throat hurt. She
let it go. She got it all out and then all of a sudden she could hear the
clock.
Tick, Tick, Tick.
Getting to her feet, Quinna wiped the moist cheeks. She moved to the small
restroom, where she managed to clean her face with a moist towel. When
she was done. She moved to the door heading back to sickbay. As the
office door behind her closed, she heard one last tick of her clock.
Tick

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 3
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar - Deck 1 - Briefing Room - COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory
-- 2100)
Gregory had taken copious notes during the discussions about the
mission, and now came the hard task of compiling everything, and getting
the orders out to various personnel.? Of course, he wanted to share his
thoughts with the command staff, because he was sure he was missing
something.? Of course, having lost Hendriks on his watch was something
he hadn?t fully processed yet, and he was damned sure that he was going
to do everything he could to prevent a second occurrence.
He began typing a mission outline.
Phase 1:? Repair of the Sharylan Power Generation System
Complications:
1.
High levels of radiation, see attached recommendations from Medical
2.
Based on radiation levels, short shifts, which will extend the
operation until the pile can be examined and safely contained
3.
Shutting down the power system will shut down essential functions
(life support)
Proposal:
1.
Use warp core power from a parked shuttle to provide power to
Sharalyn ship
2.
Effect repairs as expediently as possible, with first priority to
cap the leaking radiation
3.
Provide training to Sharylan engineers
Attached is the initial 4-day plan to repair the Sharlyan power pile?
(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Uo7bu9IP_0w06FsxrnIvhaxvtPqqKvS3AD6kzZ5R9A/edit?usp=sharing).?
A second plan, to deal with decontamination of the space and training
the Sharylan?s to repair their systems will be coming within the next 24
hours, based on the initial assessment of the damage.
Transporter Room 2 will be dedicated to this aspect of the project.?
Additionally, we will establish a decontamination suite in cargo bay 1,
on deck 7.? The CSO will be involved in monitoring the decontamination
procedure following the standard Star Fleet protocols.? All crew will
enter and exit via the large cargo door on the Sharylan ship, and be
transported from the surface of the ship to the first of the
decontamination spaces.? After proceeding through the three
decontamination spaces, they will be monitored before being released to
the disrobing space to remove their suits.? Upon being released from
decontamination, the crew will be escorted to sickbay for a review of
their medical status before being required to undergo a 10-hour down
check before they can return for another shift.
In parallel, and not noted on the project chart is Ensign Scott Matrix
will be involved in assessing and repairing command and control inside
the Sharylan ship.? He discovered what we believe to be the major
control panel for the system, so will have the honors.? This is outside
of the hot zone, so he will not have to undergo decontamination protocols.
Additional details to follow.? There will be a mission briefing of key
personnel at 0800 tomorrow, with an anticipated start time of 1000
tomorrow.
Respectfully submitted
Lieutenant Dieter Gregory, Chief of Operations
Gregory read over his work again before sending it to all department heads.
Looking at the time, it was 2300, and tomorrow promised to be a long
day.? With that, he headed back to his quarters to rest.

Day 4:
Stardate: 2445.10.17
(USS Illuminar - Deck 6 - NCO Quarters ? Security PO3 Hercules Devers -
0100)
Devers had volunteered to serve as security on the Ambassador's party.
His grandfather would be proud of him, as he'd served diplomatic
security for years.?? Looking at himself in the mirror, he made sure his
uniform was properly in order.? Boots polished and everything.?? Having
been over to the Sharlayan ship once already, he was aware that they
didn't want weapons.? At least visible weapons, especially energy
weapons.? Devers patted his side where his baton was.? Innocuous
enough.? Between that and his martial arts skills, the Ambassador should
be well taken care of.? He fought back against bringing at least a mark
1 phaser.? This was a diplomatic mission and it would be bad to cause an
incident.
Finally he put the earpiece in so that he could communicate with the
ship and other security without having to stop and tap his comm badge.
With that, he was off to the transporter room to meet the Ambassador.
(USS Illuminar - Deck 4 - Transporter Room 1 - Security PO3 Hercules
Devers -0201)
The door slid open.? Standing there was the Ambassador, in white and his
wife.? There was also some cadet looking terrified and excited at the
same time.? He nodded to the Transporter Chief and his fellow security
detail.
"Good Morning, Sir," Devers said to the Ambassador.? "I am Hercules
Devers Sir, and I look forward to an uneventful event."
He waited till the other members of the team introduced themselves
before taking his place on the transporter pad.

NRPG: Plenty of room to backpost events on the ship. I'm moving Riven
forward into the next day and pushing the storyline a bit. Don't think I'm
passing over the events in sickbay, I'm available to anyone if needed, most
especially engineering and science.

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 4
Stardate 2445.10.17
(USS Illuminar- Deck 4- Transporter Room 1- Federation Ambassador at Large-
Dr. Riven Mias -0200)
Riven had gone to sleep early but sleeping during the day wasn't something
he was used to and he had tossed and turned. The Betazoid was wide awake at
the moment but how long he remained that way was yet to be seen.
"How fun! I get the graveyard shift." He joked with a smile as he stepped
inside. He hoped the Sharlayans day cycle wasn't completely opposite that
of the ship, that would be completely disorienting. Once having talked with
the Admiral who was in charge he would know how the timelines stacked up.
His party consisted of his wife Michaella, a cadet who would be observing
and studying the Sharlayan culture. Rounding out their group was security
who would be in charge of insuring he remained out of trouble. Typical
precautions for an ambassadorial party and hopefully unnecessary. Riven had
never been attacked before, overtly threatened? Yes but not a hand had been
laid on him so far and Tellarite threats generally were taken with a grain
of salt. He smiled at the transporter chief as he made his way to him.
"Ambassadorial party present and accounted for."
"Good morning Ambassador. Security should be here any moment. If you would
be so kind as to wait then you should be down shortly."
"Of course, of course." The mind healer smoothed the white robe he was
wearing. Generally the color was inoffensive to other cultures, once he
found out where their tastes ran he could broaden his wardrobe. He leaned
against the wall to the right of the door with a pleased smile on his face
as he waited, a merry tune of flute music going through his head.

RPG:
Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 4
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge- CO, Captain Sekal- 0800)
Illuminar had just come out of high warp near the point in space projected
to be the location of the Sharlayan generation ship. Having left the
transwarp tunnel she was slowing in preparation for dropping out of warp to
impulse power. The doppler shift of oncoming and passing stars was still in
effect though they were coming up at a much reduced rate. Sekal was
currently at ease in the command chair and pulling up readouts on the small
monitor in tandem with the scans currently in progress. This retractable
unit could be and was being used to sift through the data coming from the
Astrometrics lab on deck 4 which fed information from ships sensors to the
bridge.
A proximity warning began flashing on the unit so he thumbed the yellow
alert button at the call from science.
(Reply:Alyl)
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf take us out of warp and prepare for evasive
maneuvers."
"Aye sir."
The starfield stabilized as the ship returned to normal space and Tempest
fired the impulse engines then began maneuvering the ship through a debris
field.
"Shields up."
(Reply: T'Mur))
The debris was not marked on interstellar maps but this area of space was
also largely untraveled though not unexplored and such a navigational
hazard could have been recently introduced.
"Lieutenant Alyl scan the debris field and route the location and expanse
to Starfleet command."
(Reply: Alyl)
Tempest picked a careful route through the zone which due to the route
Illuminar had traveled was no danger to the Sharlayan ship as its projected
flight path would skirt the field by nearly half a light year.
Several tense minutes followed however until the ship at a safe speed of
less than .2 impulse finally cleared the danger zone. Once clear Sekal
disengaged the alert.
"Shields down, return to normal operations."
(Reply: Any)
Sekal then turned to the science station. "The Sharlayan ship should be
within sensor range. Do you have a target?"
(Reply: Alyl)
"Long range scans Lieutenant in a 180? arc. Find that ship."
(Reply:Alyl)
Sekal turned to the main viewer, the Sharlayan asteroid generation ship
which should have been here was missing. Their star drive had been at
maximum output when last discovered meaning something had delayed its
arrival.
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf plot a course to intercept the Sharlayan ships course
then follow it back. Full impulse."
"Yes sir. Plotting course now." Tempest brought the plot up quickly and
fired the engines to their capped maximum.
"Mister Gregory monitor em bands. The Sharlayan ship uses radio
transmissions, if they are sending out a signal you will pick it up there."
(Reply: Gregory)
Sekal's head snapped around. "On audio Lieutenant."
(Reply: Gregory)
The signal was weak but strengthened as Lieutenant Gregory made
adjustments. It took only a few seconds before the universal translator
kicked in.
=^= .... off course. If any are available to help we request your
assistance. Repeat. This is the Admiral speaking. Our navigational
equipment is failing and our people are on the verge of starvation. Our
ship is off course. If any are available to help we request assistance.=^=
The message was on a loop and repeating itself.
"Isolate that signal and send it to navigation. Lieutenant Grey Wolf when
you have a course plotted go immediately to warp 3."

ILLUMINARRPG: (3-0801)- CO, Captain Sekal
From: amuir at sanjuan.edu (Al Muir)

Mission: The Uncaring Stars
Day: 4
Stardate 2445.10.16
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge- SO, Ensign T?Mur- 0801)
The last two days of travel had given T?Mur more time to become familiar with the tactical station on the bridge. She had been appreciative of the opportunity to spend more time with the command staff on the bridge during the alpha shift. Ensign Lee had been an adequate instructor, but it soon became clear that he was more suited to his role as chief of security. His? temperament was better served in that role. T?Mur felt that he was almost paranoid at times. However, she had already used her own natural curiosity and self discipline to master what she had been shown, and even notice items that he had missed.
As they came out of warp at the proposed intersection vectors for the Sharlayan planetary ship the first thing she noted was the proximity alert. She had already moved to raise the shields as the captain had activate the yellow alert. The alert klaxon sounded and the yellow light began to flash.
The captain called for evasive maneuvers and shields, but she had already anticipated that order.
?Shields up captain,? she echoed.
The second thing she noticed was that there was no visual confirmation of the Charlatan ship, nor were they anywhere on their short range sensors. It didn?t take long for Lt. Gregory to find a transmission from the ship and their distress call. 2.8 minutes later he had discovered the source of the transmission and they had headed back to warp on a new intercept course.
Apparently nobody else was curious, but what was that debris field? She tried to scan the field as much as possible before they went to warp, and held the scan as long as possible until they were out of range. The debris consisted of both metallic, and other nonmetallic inorganic materials. Some of the material seemed like naturally occurring rock, but they were far from any previously discovered asteroid belt. The metallic substances were of a form that she was unfamiliar with. But then again, T?Mur was no scientist. She sent her readings to the science department.
She turned to Lt. Alyl, ?Lieutenant Alyl, I am sending you some some data from the scans of the debris. Hopefully you can make some sense of it. Some of the materials I am unfamiliar with.?
(reply Alyl)
It didn?t take long at warp 3 to arrive at the adjusted location. As they came out of warp T?Mur immediately began scanning the area.

Science! Penny was very excited. In truth the only reason she had picked security. Was due to her late Grandfather Lcmd Butch Mc Taggard. Who was killed in action during the Dominion war. Maybe she should dye her hair? Flaming red hair went well with yellow. But blue?
"Excellent." Carson said, sitting up a little straighter. "Then for the forseeable future Ensign, you're to report to Lieutenant Alyl with in the Science department. He'll be able to suitably place you better than I, but I'd suggest with your academic record that Botany or Biology would be an ideal placement." he passed over a padd with her new orders.
Penny took the padd and smiled.
? Thank you Commander.? She replied smiling.
Carson nodded to her, "Dismissed, Ensign." he said as he stood up. As the door opened and she prepared to leave he noted, "Ensign.." he waited for her to turn to face him again, "I'd very much like you to keep your sessions with the counselor ongoing. Even with the move to Science, oh and you'll be needing a change of Uniform." he smiled and sat back down allowing Penny to leave.
? Aye sir.? She said.

?Situational awareness can be defined simply as ?knowing what is going on around us?. Scan your surroundings and identify cover points, possible ambush points and escape routes.? Wrote Keung as he worked on his email to all the Security officers. ?That includes those of you who will be on roving patrols throughout the ship, whether you have allocated to static duty to areas of strategic importance such as engineering and the Bridge, close protection duty of the Command staff. This is an opportunity to put into practice what you learned from the instructor. You will receive separation notification from your shift leaders of being arranged into strategic teams of four and what your duties will be. . Stay within your teams, work together, look after each other. This is especially important if we get boarded, Having blocks of 4 will be more efficient instead of individuals running around the place like a mad hatter. Throughout the war games, all Security Officers will be issued with hand phasers and phaser rifles only.?
Satisfied, Keung pressed the ?Sent? button on his screen, lifted his cup of coffee and drank deeply. He glanced down at a red folder which contained his strategic security plan. > He opened the folder to reveal his summary. He read it again outloud
?Security teams of 4 to be detailed throughout the ship at key points who can go into action if and when the ship is boarded
Pairs of security officers designated for close protection of the Commanding Officer, 1st Officer and 2nd Officer
Static security officers to be based in Engineering and the Bridge at every shift.
2 rapid response teams to be in based in transporter rooms or ?Go anywhere squad
The same response team can also be used for boarding a ship.

She listened to his answer and felt the anger he felt when he told of the holodeck? pilot being shot down.? Her intention was to explore his relationship with his best friend he called bulldog but the emotion at hand had to dealt with now.
"How did it feel when the holodeck pilot was shot down? "
The cowboy accent and vernacular was odd to her but she tried to keep up with the lingo.

"How did it feel when the holodeck pilot was shot down?" Trei asked.
Vic thought about it a minute.? The simulation has been going well,
until he picked up a bogie on his tail.
What was he feeling?
"I was in the moment, it was kill or be killed.? But it was a

?Ahh, Captain, Sir, Please come with me.?
Sekal followed the doctor to a biobed and sat down upon it as she began
checking him over. The abrasion under his chin wasn't bad but she used a
dermal regenerator to smooth it out.
?Want to tell me what happened??
An eyebrow lifted. "As it pertains to the injury I assumed the information
was not optional."
He waited until she was clear then took off his uniform shirt exposing the
extensive bruising on his chest which was decidedly stiff and sore and an
angry greenish yellow in color.
"The holodeck safety protocols in this simulation are enough not to cause
debilitating injuries however that leaves a great deal of latitude. My
chest had a forceful meeting with a rock ledge under Vulcan gravity which
is 1.6 earth normal. The bruising is stiff and bordering on painful however
I do not anticipate any cracked or broken ribs."
?OK, your wounds are not as bad as they look. I hate to see the other
guy.?
He cocked his head. "I assure you the rock did not appear to be unduly
troubled over the matter."
(Reply: Quinna)
As she worked he spoke. "I am here on another matter as well."
(Reply: Quinna)
He took a deep breath. It did seem to be easing some. "Ensign T'Mur came to
sickbay for a physical upon reporting in but there seems to have been some
confusion on the matter of the neurological damage she is suffering from.
In order to clear up any confusion on this I have made it clear she will
reporting to you to seek treatment. I wished to speak with you on the
matter and note that I will be issuing formal orders for her to report in."
(Reply: Quinna)
"Yes." He picked up the shirt as she finished. "Owing to the Vulcan
penchant for adhering to the letter of an order I am making it official
both by notifying you and following it up immediately upon leaving here. I
will also be communicating with Alaya Hammons upon her return. I will
expect a full psychological exam to be performed by her on Ensign T'Mur."

Mission: Decompression
Day 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1 - Main Bridge - CO, Captain Sekal- 0700)
The ship had just departed space dock after the refit and was currently
under impulse power at a heading to take it out of the system. Once past
the orbital plane of Jupiter it would be going to warp to intercept the
Sharlayan generation ship at the point it should be arriving at within the
Alpha quadrant.
Plans were to divert this asteroid ship to a suitable colony world for
settlement owing to the fact that the world they had been journeying to had
been rendered uninhabitable during their journey..
How long had this colony ship been en route to its destination? That was
unknown as the ship that had established first contact had not gathered
that information. Nor was its current status known.
Sekal initiated the unit at his hand on the command chair.
"Stardate twenty four, forty five, ten, twelve. Captain's log, Captain
Sekal reporting.
The USS Illuminar has left dock and is leaving the system to rendezvous
with the Sharlayan ship. During the trip she will be participating in a war
game set up by Star Fleet tactical and R&D in tandem.
The war game will test the ship to its limits against a mixed fleet with
three able commanders. The outcome I anticipate will be hard fought.
Doctor Riven Mias and his wife will be acting as Ambassadors to the
Sharlayan leadership to bring the Sharlayans to a habitable world if the
Eridani are satisfied with the result of the cultural survey.
This will be the last refit of the ship for the foreseeable future and I
expect that its upgrades will work satisfactorily. I was involved in the
final inspections and all appears to be in order.
End log."
He deactivated the unit and settled in for the ride.

The ship was away from dock and had passed the influence of Jupiter's
gravity well. They were well along and the ship was running efficiently as
expected. The mission would be coming up shortly but first there was
another detail to be taken care of. The Vulcan looked about the bridge,
pleased at what he saw. He was due to relieve the bridge to Sienna in one
half hour. Sekal had changed the bridge rotations to one that would give
him a greater degree of latitude during the day to deal with any issues
that might arise.
"Readiness Lieutenant Grey Wolf?"
" The warp engines are online and available sir. Course to rendezvous with
the Sharlayans is laid in."
"Warp factor seven and engage."
The hum of the engines increased as the ship leapt ahead and the doppler
shift kicked in.
Illuminar couldn't go too fast or she would bypass the enemy ships. They
were out there somewhere along their route waiting for her arrival.
Sekal had considered the capabilities of their competition and a
preparatory strategy to test how they planned to engage Illuminar. They
would pursue their battle plan as though they were facing just another
ship. The thing about Illuminar though was that she was not just another
ship. Other ships of her class were certainly but not this particular ship.
Admiral Haynes would have to throw out many of the results from the war
game due to the one-off nature of the ship.
"All departments report."
(Reply: Any)
Weapons and shields testing from readings taken on both sides though would
be useful.
He stood up as Sienna entered the bridge to take his place.
(Reply: Sienna)
"All systems nominal. We are on course to rendezvous with the Sharlayans at
warp seven which would take 25 days if continued. After the war game we
will utilize a subspace tunnel. That will cut 23 days off of the journey."
(Reply: Sienna)
"I will be in the Ready Room should you encounter the enemy."
He tapped the comm. "Lieutenant Jordaan please make your way to the bridge."

Finally, the day had arrived to leave space dock and start back on their
mission again. Operations has been conducting diagnostic tests on all
the new systems, and with Engineering had addressed some issues that
were missed by the UP engineering team. In his down time, he?d started
working through the CTP material that the Captain has assigned him.Now
that the Illuminar was underway, he?d be able to get some real experience.
Lieutenant Grey Wolf had masterfully taken the Illuminar out of space
dock.He admired her deft handling of the ship.He kept an eye on his
boards, everything was showing green.Operations team was ready.He
tweaked the sensors a bit, to compensate for warp travel, correcting for
the shift inherent in warp travel.
?Warp factor seven and engage,? he heard the Captain order.
Turning to monitor the power flux as the warp engines came on line,
generating the enormous power needed for warp speed, he admired the
developments that had brought about space travel.
?All departments report,? the Captain ordered.
?Operations reports all systems nominal.Sensors adjusted for warp
travel.No outstanding issues are being reported,? Gregory replied.

Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar - Deck 5 - Holodeck 1 - Security PO3 Hercules Devers - 0600)
The war games start today Devers thought as he got up.? While a
simulation, pride and bragging rights were on the line.? The Chief had
been drilling security through different scenarios, and Devers was the
last line of defense on the bridge.?? One of the NCOs had started taking
to call him Heimdall, the mythical watchman of the Bifrost - the rainbow
bridge.?? While the Illuminar was not Asgard, he vowed to himself to not
let the bridge be taken.
In the scenarios' the most damning was having the enemy come up the
emergency ladders from deck 3.? Operations could turn off the
turbolifts, but manual doors on those emergency exits was a concern.
Hopefully the Chief would assign a second guard to the bridge, but
security was spread thin defending major targets, while having a
reactionary force as well as a boarding team.
Those thoughts wandered in his head as he made his way to the holodeck
with the other NCOs for morning workout.? By consensus, they agreed to a
lighter workout than normal, knowing the war game could start at any
time.? Running on the sand helped keep him focused and working his core
balance.
Devers led the group through the ram muay, the traditional, ritualized
movements designed to calm and center a person.? Three times around the
circle.? While Devers performed the ram muay with moves from his Muay
Thai training, he knew each NCO followed it true to their own training.
That was one of the beauties of these morning training sessions.
At 0830, they broke up, hitting the showers before heading off to get
food in preparation of the day.? By 0930, Devers had reported in to
security for the morning briefing before going to stand watch. He
checked both his phasers were set to stun, before fiddling with his
extendable baton.? A fick of the wrist, and he had 18 inches of hardened
steel to help reach out and touch someone.
He felt the electricity in the room.? They wanted to win, but it would
be up to the Captain and tactical officer to get them into a position to
do that.? Until then, it was waiting time.
(USS Illuminar - Deck 1 - Bridge - Security PO3 Hercules Devers - 0955)
The turbolift opened and Devers stepped out.? The main viewer showed
they were under warp, but nothing was showing up on any of the
scanners.? The bridge crew was all professional, quietly going about
their duties.
Devers stepped over to the guard on watch, "You are relieved," he said
formally before taking his station in the recess reserved for security.
He wiggled his toes in his boots, getting comfortable, like a hound at
the slip.? Ready for anything.

(USS Protector ? Deck 1 ? CO Commander Jason Nesmith ? 1300)
Nesmith sat in his ready room, after he had met up with the Hamilton and
the Sisco the three captains had discussed tactics for the war game. To
win the war game, the Illuminar had to capture three bridges, while they
only had to capture the one bridge.
Since the Hamilton had the best, most sensitive sensors the attack force
would be relying on data from that ship to help supplement the Protector
and Hamilton?s own sensors.For a boarding party to get on the ship, the
shields had to be down on both ships.One of the strategies was to take
advantage of that window.
Of course, the X factor was the fighter wing.Nesmith had given Commander
Stewart free rein in preparing the squadron.Wiggins and Stewart had
spent some time scripting out some scenarios as well.
Nesmith tapped his Comm badge, ?Lieutenant Tracy, how soon will En
Passant be ready??
=^= Commander, En Passant is ready on your orders. =^=
En Passant was an idea where they would blow out debris and garbage to
increase the scanner clutter for the Illuminar to track.If they did it
right, the fighters could leave under low power before forming up into
attack position.To help sell the debris, small energy packs had been
added to some of the debris attached to repeaters to add to the noise.
(USS Protector ? Deck 1 ? CO Commander Jason Nesmith ? 1330)
Nesmith strode onto the bridge.?Bring us to yellow alert.Mr. Wiggins,
shields up, phasers to ? power.?
?Aye sir, shields at 50%, phasers to ? power.?
?Commander Stewart, fighter control is released to you.?
?Mr. Cobb, make ready to defend the ship.Have your boarding parties
report to the transporters.?
?Commander, Illuminar is turning its course to intercept us,? Lieutenant
Watne called.
?Mr. Tracy, signal the Hamilton that we are ready to initiate.?
?Ms. T?hrace, change course to 90 mark 45.?

He bolted to his feet as the yellow alert lamp began flashing and was on
his way to the door and out to the bridge before Sienna's hail had well
begun.
The air on the bridge was tense as he stepped off. Skashe Winters was at
science as he stepped onto the bridge and snapped off a report.
"Three vessels scanned at extreme range Captain straddling our course in a
delta formation."
"Get me the precise location of the Protector Mr. Winters." He ordered as
he moved to the command chair. Sienna moved to the chair on the right as he
approached. Vex'ahlia Jordaan was in the chair to his left as he sat down.
(Reply: Sienna)
All three vessels in the attacking force had their own strengths and
weaknesses of which the Vulcan was well aware. The Protector had the
greatest defensive and offensive capabilities. The Sisko was just behind it
with its pulse fire phaser system and greater maneuverability. Sekal
expected the Hamilton to be in the center of the formation and behind the
other two ships in the "delta" position in order to provide real time
intelligence and back up either wing once it was attacked.
The Hamilton was the weakest ship in terms of defense or attack but going
straight for it was foolhardy as the ships on the wings would fold in and
surround Illuminar.
The logical plan was to attack one wing. He had chosen the Protector, on
the surface the only logical alternative as to ignore that ship in the
beginning would invite its fighters to harry them in whatever attack plan
they chose. Get in, do some damage and take out some of its fighter
complement in the initial stage was the most sound course of action.
"Steamrunner class vessel on the right wing captain. Course 060 mark 1."
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf take us out of warp and execute course 060 mark 1 at
full impulse. Take the port side of the Protector, don't let her flank us."
"Course laid in now sir, executing."

reporting in status.

"Get me the precise location of the Protector Mr. Winters," Captain

taking the replicators in the mess offline.
"Steamrunner class vessel on the right wing Captain. Course 060 mark 1."
Winters called.
Balancing the needs of the shields with the offensive weapons, he
prepared power for the upcoming combat.
"All stations report secure," Gregory called out.
He started monitoring communication frequencies to see if he could find
what bands their attackers were using.? If they were smart, they were
going to be using short coded phrases to execute their maneuvers.? Those
would be hard to find, and harder to decode, but anything to give the

'Raid' Montero -- 13.24)
Vic was sitting around the pilots 'lounge', such as it was, drinking
coffee and reading.? Bebe Sheridan was there as well, looking antsy.
Both were still dressed in their flight gear.
"I'm bored.? Do you want to run a simulation Raid?" she asked.
Vic chuckled.? They had run two simulations today, with Gunsmoke as the
lead.? She was starting to really show the decision making abilities of
a top rated pilot.? She's not be a RIO forever, and he'd miss her when
she moved to the number one chair.
A yellow light started to flash and the Klaxon rang.? "Wonder what this
is about," Vic said.
The OOD looked up, "Seems the wargame is about to start." he called over
to the pilots.
Vic shrugged, "Not much for us to do at the moment then."
Bebe frowned, "You never know, they might want the Hillary to break off
and offer some additional support."
Chuckling, "Did you see the ROE.? Only have to paint a fighter to knock
it out.? While the Aerowing is as maneuverable as the Peregrines, it was
more a transport ship than a warcraft.
"Please Vic?" she asked
"I never even sent the memo to Lieutenant Grey Wolf.? And she's got her
hands busy now."
The OOD turned around, "Go, why don't you two.? There's nothing really
down here to do and it'll keep you both out of my hair."
(USS Illuminar - Deck 9 - Aerowing/USS Hillary -- 1336)
Vic and Bebe strapped into their seats and started going through the
standard pre-flight checklist.? That way they could be ready to go,
should the Captain decide to use them.
"He won't Gunsmoke," Vic said again.
"Better safe than sorry."
"All that practice is getting to your head.? I'm sure the win in the
simulation in front of Commander Metcalf didn't hurt."
"I learn from the best Raid," the woman retorted.

Mission: Decompression (War Games)
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Hamilton, Main Bridge - CO, Commodore Sherri Willet ? 1324)
Illuminar had come into their sensor range before the other ships were
aware of them, "Open a channel to the group." Sherri ordered. The ship was
already in yellow alert and the crews of all three ships ready to action
the plans that they'd put in place already. Commander Nesmith was the man
with the most combat experience, so she'd given him the job of planning the
initial assault.
"Comms open, Sir." came the response.
"Afternoon all, time to kick into action. Commander Nesmith initiate your
plans. Hamilton will begin augmenting your own ships sensors and providing
any weakenesses we see. The code word is "Rochambeau", dig me? If anything
goes wrong we'll be with you when it does Go lead your men we'll see you on
the other side'Til we meet again, let's go!"
"Hold formation until the Protector performs its Kings Knight opening. Once
it does follow-up with a Queens Gambit." she knew the Bridge staff knew
this, but Sherri enjoyed saying it anyway. She could feel her blood flowing
and a spike of adrenaline beginning to run through her.
"Initial scans coming through Commodore," Lieutenant Commander Jeff-erson
said, "Holy. the power output on this can't be real."
"Forward to my console, make sure both commanding officers are kept in the
loop."
"Kings Knight has been activated, Sir."
"Hmm that may have been a mistake now," Sherri thought out loud, "If the
Illuminar has this much power available to it, then we may want to keep a
distance. Bare that in mind CONN. Activate Queens Gambit."
The ship launched into a low warp and overshot the USS Illuminar by a
distance. "Stay out of weapons range and continue to look for weakenesses."
Sherri commanded. They were now in position.
"Protector is engaging with the Illuminar, shields holding strong for both
parties."

ILLUMINARRPG: (16-1325)- FSXO- Lieutenant (jg) Tempest Grey Wolf
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Fri, 1 Jan 2021 14:16:30 -0600
Mission: Decompression
Day 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1 - Main Bridge- FSXO- Lieutenant (jg) Tempest Grey
Wolf- 1325)
"Course laid in Captain. Executing." The Illuminar had dropped out of warp
and she kicked in the impulse drive at "full" power which wasn't actually
as fast as impulse would go. Impulse could actually get very close to light
speed at full power but was limited to .6c to avoid the worst of the time
dilation effects approaching light speed.
The Steamrunner class wasn't quite as maneuverable as this class of vessel.
The Discovery class was close being an older cousin to the Illuminar while
the Defiant class would be even more maneuverable than the others.
Of them all though the Steamrunner was the most formidable and Tempest's
orders were to take them into its strength. This was a gamble in her
estimation though knowing something of the Captain's plan she had to agree.
This class of vessel was possibly the most formidable in Star Fleet's
arsenal of light attack craft, outshone possibly only by the Prometheus
class. Against a similarly sized explorer craft it could be used to
devastating effect. Its contribution to Star Fleet defense had been
downgraded due to it seeing the most action against enemy vessels such as
the Galor class which were ships of the line, much heavier vessels in an
enemy fleet and their numbers had taken quite a hit.
Being over powered then in battle had been more of a testimony to the
enemies heavier hull plating and space frame than in actual attack potency.
In this simulated war game then the Protector was the one to be most
respected. Getting in and taking the ship down a notch was a calculated
gamble.
Her job during the battle while they were engaged with it would be to keep
it between Illuminar and the other ships until it was time to engage
another. Tempest had an idea of how the Captain planned to handle that but
until that time she would be busy maneuvering the ship to escape as much
damage as possible.
It wasn't going to be easy but she was up for the challenge. The Protector
was moving to cut them off but Illuminar was too nimble and Tempest managed
to position the ship to keep them from gaining an advantage until firing
commenced. At that point the battle became a blur. She was changing
positions constantly while giving tactical the best possible angles of
attack.
She also slowed the ship to one quarter impulse in order to keep from
flashing past the Protector and being quickly exposed to further fire from
the other two ships.
Once they cleared the Protector's stern the next part of the battle plan
would be initiated.

ILLUMINARRPG: (16-1326)- SO, Ensign T'Mur
From: amuir at sanjuan.edu (Al Muir)
Date: Sat, 2 Jan 2021 00:28:30 +0000
Day 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1 - Main Bridge - SO, Ensign T'Mur- 1326)
T?Mur had spent most of her shift on the bridge at the tactical station. It was far superior to wandering aimlessly through the halls of the ship on patrol. Nice they had left space dock there were fewer unknown personnel to keep track of, and to be honest, there were very few problems with the workers. The biggest issue that she had to deal with was a few incidents with crewmen who had over-indulged in their alcohol consumption in celebration in leaving space dock.
She had had time for contemplation and treatment for her medical issues and, according to Dr. Solice, was making wonderful progress, although she really couldn?t tell the difference. The good doctor tended to be overly optimistic, as most human doctors were.
T?Mur had spent most of the time configuring the power relays to the phasers and shields to make sure that they were at optimal performance capacity. She had gotten the power transfer to the phasers at 98.7%. She was working on where to find the other 1.3% when her concentration was distracted by the call for Yellow alert. She tapped the alert key and began to monitor the tactical readouts.
The three ships were in a typical Delta formation. This was not an advanced position, for three ships that had never worked together before was a most effective position to be in.
"Tactical, shields at full, target the Protector when we are within phaser range,? Sekal ordered . "Phaser power at one quarter."
T?Mur made the adjustments to the phasers and called back, ?Aye. Sir, shields at full, phasers at one 25%."
She watched as Lt. Grey Wolf adjusted their trajectory to take the Illuminar to the port side of the ship on the right wing. There were pinpoints on the tac that she knew were the fighters. She tightened her scan to see that there were a variety of fighters, including the Void Sphinx fighters that she had read about that had been discovered hidden on Mars.
~This should be interesting.~ There was no real intelligence to the capabilities of those fighters. They faster, strong and more maneuverable than the Makos. That was the extent of the database information.
"Have Luma target the fighters,? Sekal called out to Lt. Jordan. "Minimum power burst only. We only need to 'paint' a fighter to knock it out of action. Repeat minimum power burst only.?
She wanted to say something, but knew that the captain knew his ship and personnel, and she also knew that Luma was more than just a computer. She was also intrigued at what this Luma could do. She prepared to engage the larger ships. Clearly the captain had picked the Protector as his first target. Al that was left was to wait for the authorization to engage in combat.

"Has the Illuminar changed course yet?"? Nesmith called.
"Not yet Sir.? We are opening distance."
"Excellent, helm, plot a course to the Illuminar,? prepare for Kings
Knight opening."
If executed properly, the ship would jump to warp 1 briefly, which
should confuse the Illuminars sensors for just enough time for the ship
to move to a new position shifted to the right, and give them an open
shot with their phasers.
"Engineering, be ready on the warp drive," Nesmith called.
=^= Engineering is ready. Be gentle Commander. =^= came Penny's reply.
"Helm.? On Mr. Wiggin's mark, execute the the Kings knight opening."
"Aye, Sir."
"Three.... Two .... Mark."? Called the tactical officer.
T'hrace executed the commands, as the ship jumped to warp, hopefully
causing a sensor shadow for the Illuminar to deal with.
As the Protector came out of warp, she appeared amidship of the Illuminar.
"Foreward phasers fire," Nesmith called out as the ship entered normal
space.

Day 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1 - Main Bridge - SPC Luma'Lenai- 1332)
Luma listened to her Vex grimly and gave her assent. ::This one will do as
our Sekal said.::
There were many things that Luma could do and she was eager to help. She
didn't understand this idea of making battles and killing into a game,
making a sport of entropy but she did understand that their purpose here
was that no small ones were to die, either here or on the other ships.
The other ship released junk as far as Luma could tell since there were no
life signs aboard. She scanned them quickly and even though some were
giving off low power energy readings none of them had evidence of life and
these "fighters" the other ship carried meant there should have been small
ones aboard.
Since there were not Luma could only assume that these were meant to
distract her and this did not make her happy.
Luma was no stupid computer to fall for such things nor was she a small one
who was busy trying to take in too much information that she would make
such a mistake.
The small one called T'Mur was controlling the tactical interface with her
hands on it. This meant that Luma could communicate with her if she would
listen so she sent a thread of thought to that small one as she changed the
power output back to 1/4.
::Small one known as T'Mur. The small ones on the other ship are attempting
to confuse us but Luma knows better. Luma is giving you the controls to the
secondary arrays so that you may use two at once. If Luma senses small ones
in fighters she will take back control of that one so she can follow our
Sekal's orders.::

Day 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1 - Main Bridge - SO, Ensign T'Mur- 1333)
T?Mur?s fingers danced over the weapons controls making minor adjustments to the weapons controls to create the most amount contact with the opposing ships but causing the minimum amount of actual damage. She was tracking the Protector, as it was the only ship that seemed to be on an attack vector. Suddenly she felt a tickle in her brain. It was a familiar sensation, and horrifying at the same time.
::Small one known as T'Mur. The small ones on the other ship are attempting to confuse us but Luma knows better. Luma is giving you the controls to the secondary arrays so that you may use two at once. If Luma senses small ones in fighters she will take back control of that one so she can follow our Sekal's orders.::
Her mind got thrown back to a dark alley of Vulcana Ragar, with the tendrils of another mind invading hers. Her breath escaped her lungs and fear registered in her face. She jumped back from her station and withdrew her hands as if she?d been burned.
"No!!? she cried out. In the time it took the rest of the bridge to look round, comprehension wedged its way through the wave of fear. Luma. Luma. Luma was ?speaking? to her, telepathically. It hadn?t caused her pain, only caught her by surprise. She had meant to have a ?conversation with Luma over the past days, but found that she had little time with the needed privacy. Now was not the time.
~She was giving me control? The weapons arrays.~ She was able to shake off the shock and surprise and reengaged with the controls. It was at that exact moment when there was a blip on the sensors, and the Protector disappeared. T?mir had already been sweeping with the sensors to refocus herself and was able to see the Protector reappear with weapons firing. She had already made the shield adjustment to handle the phaser fire and returned fire with both arrays. One targeting their sensor array and the other targeting their closest warp nacelle.
The Illuminar rocked as it took the energy dissipated across the shielding. But T?Mur was able to maintain her focus and continued to fire a staccato of barrages across the Protectors hull, while maintaining fire on the nacelle.
She turned her attention back to the sensors to see where the other ships were.

Monty stood in the cockpit of the fighter, set to go. He looked across at the rest of his pilots. They were as ready as they were ever going to be. They had spent their flight time perfecting the maneuvers that Wiggins had sent them. Some were genius, others more unlikely to get used unless they were truly in a life or death struggle. He tapped the comm channel on his helmet.

?Direct hits, Sir,? Wiggins called out.
?Illuminar is returning fire.They are targeting our sensor array and

The ship rocked as the energy was absorbed. ?Battle computer reports

As the Protector started on its new course moving it up and across the
port side of the Illuminar, two class 1 probes were launched.
Meanwhile, Wiggins returned fire strafing the port side of the Illuminar
as it jumped to 0.9C.

(USS Illuminar- Deck 1 - Main Bridge - FSXO, Flight Ops/Conn- Lieutenant
(jg) Tempest Grey Wolf- 1336)
Tempest had been keeping the ship moving, twisting and turning so that no
shield emitter was taking the full brunt of the attack from the Protector.
She was aware of reports being passed back and forth along the Bridge. The
Hamilton had moved to what they thought was a safe distance and the Sisco
wasn't yet in play, being no doubt held in reserve for a flank attack or to
protect the lead ship.
Illuminar was giving better than she got with the two pronged attack on the
"enemy" ship. As the Protector dove beneath the Illuminar she activated
the vertical thrusters normally used in atmospheric flight mode to yaw the
ship to starboard and changed the pitch of the saucer impulse vents so that
the ship spiraled down and to starboard.
The Protectors phaser fire as Illuminar made the maneuver mostly splashed
harmlessly against the ventral shields as the majority of the energy missed
entirely.
Illuminar came out of the spiral and passed within 500 meters of the
Protector as both ships fired salvos again. Illuminar's phasers continued
to rake the Protector from bow to stern as the two ships passed.
Her orders were simple, keep the ship in position to punish the Protector
until something specific happened, she was waiting for that tipping point
and prepared for it. That tipping point was up to their enemy. Once that
happened they would begin the next phase of the operation.
Sekal was calmly watching as the plan played out and the ship was doing as
it had been designed to do. This wasn't poker.

her forward shields at 32%, her aft at 28 adjusted to account for the
reduced phaser output. Add 50% for her true shield strength. Her port
nacelle is her weakest point. Tactical has been ruthlessly pounding it.
Their command ship is at 130,000 kilometers from our position and
communicating with the other two vessels in short, coded bursts which we
haven't broken yet. The Sisko is at about the same distance and appears to
be held in reserve."
He was tapping out his entry code on the secondary terminal nearby. "The
Captain appears to be waiting for something, I don't know what he's
planning but so far we are more than holding our own. And watch out for..."
He grabbed the console to steady himself as Tempest executed another
maneuver that was barely within specified parameters for the vessel. "...
Lieutenant Grey Wolf's flying." He chortled as he pulled up the display and
began monitoring the Sisko which was still standing by with shields and
weapons powered up.

?Burst transmission from the Hamilton, Sir,? Lieutenant Tracy called
from Operations.
?Summarize,? Nesmith replied.
?Illuminar power output is higher than the specifications we were
working from,? he replied.
?Recommendations Tactical??Nesmith asked.
?Sir, pull back to outside phaser range.Bring shields to full power,
?cause our gambit doesn?t look like it?ll be accepted.Give us a moment
to regroup in plan for En Passant.?Wiggins replied.
?Make it so.Helm take us out of phaser range and keep us there.Science,
keep those probes closer to the Illuminar.Be ready to detonate on my
mark,? Nesmith called.
?Shields at full power,? Wiggins called out. ?Forward shields to 82
percent, aft to 78%.?
?They like the port nacelle,? Wiggins reminded the Commander.
Tapping the com button.?Engineering, prepare to shut down plasma flow to
the port nacelle.We?ll lose warp power, but it?ll prevent a destructive
feedback loop if they get a lucky shot.?
=^= On it Commander =^=
?Mr. Tracy send a burst transmission to Hamilton and Sisko. Mid-game is
about to start.?
Tapping his com, ?Commander Stewart.Data from Hamilton says Illuminar is
got more power than previously thought.We?re lining up for mid-game.If
you?re ready, we?ll do a flyby of the Illuminar and activate En Passant
as we flood the Illuminar sensors.That should buy your squad time to
line up for an attack.?
(Reply Stewart)
Nesmith looked around as the crew carried out the orders.The opening
gambits had been denied, so it was time for the midgame.Thinking about
the principles of the midgame, the Hamilton, their flag ship was still
safe, with the Sisko ready to strike.The mobility of the fighter squad
was about to be tested, and even with the new information on the
Illuminar, force remained on their side.
The Illuminar is a tough little ship, Nesmith thought.Too bad the
Sicilian was not open to them now.Those lines were closed.Endgame is
near and that is where the game was won or lost.

(USS Illuminar- Deck 1 - Main Bridge - SO, Ensign T'Mur- 1343)
The battle between the two ships was going as expected. What was not expected was the fact that the other two ships had not yet engaged. And even more so, the Protector handout yet deployed their fighters.
There had been no further connection with Luma, to which T?Mur had been immensely appreciative of. She had been left to make adjustments to shields and targeting the Protector. Although the power was at a minimum, it probably wasn?t doing the ship any good. Illuminator?s shields were still at 98%, and there was little to no deviation of power to the systems.
An alarm sounded on her tactical board and then there was a change. The Hamilton had moved.
?Sir,? T?Mur called out, ?the Hamilton has shifted position, but she is still not in an attack vector. She is sitting of our stern, out of weapons range.?
(reply Sekal)
Then it happened. Suddenly the Protector started pulling away from the battle.
?The Protector is breaking off,? T?Mur called out.

Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar- Deck 1 - Main Bridge - CO, Captain Sekal - 1345)
He noted the call from science that probes launched from the Protector were
following them and considered their purpose. An explosive detonation would
be illogical as that was prohibited by war game rules.
"What class probe configuration from the scans Lieutenant?" The question
was directed at the CSO.
(Reply: Alyl)
"Understood." A class one probe narrowed down the possibilities. That class
of probe was packed tightly with electronics with 256 multiband
frequencies. Its use in this instance could be extrapolated down to two
possibilities, an EMP burst or sensor jamming. EMP was extremely unlikely
unless they had received extensive reconfiguration beforehand. The use of
the probes spoke volumes of the kind of resolve the enemy commanders were
carrying to win "at all costs."
Use of the probes for such a purpose was extremely close to breaking the
rules of the war game and certainly bent that rule to a great extent. The
use of sensor blind probes was also highly dangerous in such a close
quarters battle. Why? Any panic on the part of the helm officer could lead
to a catastrophic collision between the Protector and Illuminar or any
other manned conveyance entered into the battle. The enemy was either
counting on the proficiency of his helm officer or more likely had not
given prudent thought to the kind of danger they could instigate in this
situation. Sekal would not let this maneuver go unchallenged. The enemy
commander would receive due disciplinary action for such reckless behavior.
The Vulcan had been waiting on the frigate to launch its fighters, an
eventuality Tempest Grey Wolf was well prepared for. It was logical they
would attempt to use the confusion caused by a detonation of those probes
as a screen to do so. It was indeed a game of chess, turning their phasers
from the Protector to take out the probes would give the other vessel a
respite, essentially taking a pawn while opening the board to give the
other player freedom to maneuver.
The Illuminar could easily break from the battle to outrun the probes which
would amount to the same.
The Captain was also aware that were this an ordinary ship the tactic would
be inviolable but there were elements of the Illuminar that were highly
classified, none more so that the entity that called the Illuminar her
"skin".
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf prepare to initiate the maneuver we discussed.
Lieutenant Vex have Luma prepare for a micro pulse jump to the Hamilton."
(Reply: Vex)
Tempest spared a moment to look back at him with wide eyes. "We aren't
going to destroy them?
"No." He looked from her back to the monitor. "It will cause them to change
their plans."
And several minutes later it began.
"The Protector is breaking off."
The voice of Luma'Lenai came over the speakers. =^= Luma is ready. =^=
The power to the engines increased, the whine rising.
"Now."
The ship lurched and disappeared from normal space just before the probes
detonated, their purpose spent.
The next instant the Illuminar appeared off the Hamilton's starboard bow
facing it. There was a moment of shocked inactivity from the Hamilton as
the Illuminar began to rain a phaser barrage upon it.
=^= Luma does not like these small ones. They tried to hurt her skin and
her small ones. =^=
Sekal only raised an eyebrow is assent.

Sekal turned his head to tactical. "Cease fire on the Protector, prepare to
target the Hamilton. Her shields are not fortified like those of the

aboard."
Then the micro pulse jump put them in a position to do just that.

"Lieutenant Alyl I need an update on this sector of space. Are there any
debris fields or anomalies they might attempt to escape to?"
(Reply: Alyl)
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf match the Hamilton's maneuvers, they may go to warp
in an attempt to escape."
"Copy that Captain, I'll stick to them like fly paper."
He didn't comment on the euphemism, it was self explanatory.
"Lieutenant Vex keep Luma ready in case we need to jump again and have her
watch for the fighters from the Protector, they will launch them now that
they are clear if they have not already. The next time we engage with the
Protector we will take the ship."
(Reply: Vex)
"What is the status of the Sisko? They will be bringing her into play now."

Sekal was going to be using the maneuverability of his ship in an attempt
to keep it out of a situation where the weight of numbers could wear its
shields down. Picking out the weakest from the herd and taking it down was
the preferred method of hunting for any predator and in this war game that
was the Illuminar's role.
The prey was the enemy ships.

"Cease fire on the Protector,? Sekal ordered, "prepare to target the Hamilton. Her shields are not fortified like those of the frigate, if we have sufficient surprise we might get a boarding party aboard."
There was a sudden lurch, and the ship was repositioned in space to attack the Hamilton.
"Take down her shields Ms. T'Mur."
?Aye sir,? T?Mur replied, and began to retarget the phasers.
She found the positions of the shield emitters and began to focus the phaser points there. The sudden lack of shaking from the Protector?s own barrage was a little jolting. But T?Mur did not relax her vigilance on the shield power distribution. The captain continued to give out orders, having Science look for escape/hiding places. Then he ordered Conn to match the Hamilton?s maneuvers.
"Copy that Captain, I'll stick to them like fly paper,? Grey Wolf replied.
T?Mur could not help but let that corner of her brain wonder why a flying insect that sole purpose seemed to be to consume non recyclable items would have a need for paper. And why would that paper be able to ?stick?? It seemed like a positive connotation phrase and one she?d have to investigate later.
"What is the status of the Sisko? They will be bringing her into play now."
T?Mur began to scan for the smaller ship but it had disappeared.
?It appears, Captain,? T?Mur announced, ?that they have gone into stealth mode and activate their cloak.?

?Aye, Sir? came the chorus of responses around the bridge.
It was time to take more full advantage of the speed advantage that the
Protector had, at least according to the specifications of the Illuminar
that he was privy to.Of course, that may be misleading as well, so not a
time to be over cocky.
The Protector turned around and began a run towards the Illuminar as the
class 1 probes were detonated.That should buy them a few seconds to
release the fighters.
As they arrived to the designated point, the material prepared for En
Passent was released.
?Sir, the Illuminar has moved to attack position on the Hamilton,?

?Stewart, abort launch, repeat abort launch.The prey has bolted.We are

Tapping the com again, ?Commander Stewart, we are going to castle with

The tension on the bridge was palpable.The Castle was one of the more
dangerous moves, but putting the Protector with it?s more powerful
shields between the two ships.
?Incoming burst message from the Hamilton,? Mr. Tracy reported.

The battle had commenced, and Gregory had been busy monitoring the power
use, rerouting extra power to the shields and phasers.? The Captain
remained calm and the tactics of the USS Protector continued to play out.
The two ships traded blows, and it appeared the Illuminar got better
than it gave.
He checked internal sensors again, making sure they were fully
operational.? But with the shields up, it would be impossible for the
Protector to beam someone through.? Likewise, with the USS Protectors
Phased harmonic shield, solving the problem would be impossible.
Gregory pulled up the schematics on the USS Hamilton.? As he thought,
they didn't have the same phased harmonic system.
An idea started to form in his head.? Checking the schematics again, he
ran some simulations, making one critical assumption.

?Go, go, go!?
The fighters launched and got into their initial team formations. They needed to see what they were up against. But it did not seem like anything was happening. He looked around at the exterior of the Protector and noted some markings on the hull around the nacelles that had not been there before. Interesting.
?All righty lads, we?ve practiced this long enough. Set yerselves up and stay in formation. Timber wolf and Hound Dog , yer wi? me.?

They had gained a decided and decisive advantage in the battle for the
moment. Despite the unexpected move on the part of his ship the Protector
was attempting to rejoin the battle. It appeared they were willing to
sacrifice a queen for their king and the bishop was under cloak.
There were a number of variables and ways this could play out but the Sisko
remained a constant. While it was in play and maneuverable they could not
relax their guard. If the Protector succeeded in interposing itself it
would gain the Hamilton only a brief respite. She was outgunned and slower
than the Illuminar. Whether the Protector fell first was of no concern but
they still had not released their fighters. The Commander rather than using
them to try to overwhelm this ship was holding them in reserve, possibly in
a last ditch effort.
Was Nesmith planning on launching them just before the Protector's shields
fell therefore keeping his vessel in play and using them to hold the
Illuminar's attention as he worked to get his shields back up?
This would lie within another grey area of the rules of engagement and the
Vulcan would not put it past him at all. The Commander had shown himself
more than willing to stretch the rules to the breaking point already. But
still that ships fighter contingent would gain him only a brief respite in
the end.
"Sir. I have a crazy idea." The call came from Ops and Lieutenant Gregory.
"Continue Lieutenant." Was his reply.
"Its tricky Sir. There are few reports of it actually working, but looking
at the Hamilton's shield profile, it might work. If we can figure out the
cycling time and frequency of their shields, we could beam an away team
over."
"And how would you handle the matter of the Illuminar's shields
Lieutenant?" Sekal cocked his head at the man as the battle continued to
rage.
"Yes, I know sir, but what we do is use a shuttle as a base of operation.
They are small enough that we could tractor them within our shield depth of
30 meters. Once we had the profile determined, we could push the shuttle
outside of the shield depth and initiate the transport."
The Vulcan steepled his fingers before him, the gesture could be indicative
of a number of mental components. Was it deep thought, disbelief or the
decision to make an important teaching point?
"That plan would still require the Illuminar to drop her shields Lieutenant
Gregory which with the Sisko unaccounted for would be an extremely risky
maneuver. Now could the Sisko decloak in time to transport a boarding force
onto the Illuminar? The chance is unlikely however that is the kind of
opening its Commander is looking for. The Sisko will be joining the battle
at some point regardless but at this time she is looking for any form of
weakness to capitalize on."
He leaned forward to emphasize his point. "While victory does indeed go to
the bold it seldom comes to the foolhardy."
"Yes sir, it's crazy like I said, but not something they would expect. If
we can't solve the profile issue, it's a non-starter. But if we could, we
could send teams of two to strategic points and take the ship
from the inside."
"Affirmative. I am willing to entertain the possibility as long as all
factors within the wargame are favorable. If you can verify with certainty
that you have accounted for all the variables and it may be done safely for
the boarding parties I am willing to incorporate it." He paused only for an
instant. "As long as I am able to account for all of the hostile parties."

Mission: Decompression (War Games)
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Hamilton, Main Bridge - CO, Commodore Sherri Willet ? 1354)
They'd known the possibility of Captain Sekal breaking off from the
Protector would be a heavy possibility, once he realised that the initial
tactic of the Hamilton would be to stay out of the way and use its superior
suite of sensors to the battle-groups advantage.
So when the Illuminar turned about and disappeared for a second to do its
micro-jump, the teams on the Hamilton jumed into action. They weren't about
to miss their shot. "Sir, micro-jump has been completed by Illuminar.
They're on top of us."
"and..?" Sherri asked impatiently.
"We got it, Sir. Relaying to Protector & the Sisko, we've got the
oscillation of their shield frequencies predicted. Phasers will be more
effective." Came the response.
"Exce.."
"Burst message from Protector, Sir. 'Castle.'"
"Received. Burst message to the Sisko. 'Tripwire.'" Sherri said. She was
smiling, this was starting to be fun. "Helm initiate full impulse, once
we're at distance initiate jump 2 and put us beyond their weapon solution
once again."
They'd kept the Hamilton facing the battle the entire time, so the
Illuminar was now facing the wrong direction. She knew, like the Hamilton
the Illuminar was incredibly manueverable but it'd still take them enough
time to turn and chase that the Hamilton would be at a safe distance to
initiate it's second jump and at that point the Protector would be bearing
down on them.
It would be down to the Sisko to decide when to initiate their barrage from
stealth. It had been planned that once they spotted any weakness either
from the sensor information from the Hamilton or their own they could use
their pulse phaser cannons at advantage to overwhelm the Illuminar's
shields.
"Jump complete. Shields holding steady at 80% Sir."
"Good. Release the hounds." Commodore Willet commanded.
The Hamiltons shields dropped for a few seconds as they released two
cloaked shuttles full of security personnel. "and begin planning jump 3.
Stay ready for rochambeau." It was a risk that had been calculated before
the battle. The Sisko not wanting to drop cloak to release the shuttles had
stationed them within the Hamilton's shuttle bay and they'd been filled
with Security personnel. The shuttles would stay at distance, cloaked and
ready to beam aboard the Illuminar if any of their gambits worked and took
down the shields however momentarily.

"Lieutenant Vex keep Luma ready in case we need to jump again and have her
watch for the fighters from the Protector, they will launch them now that
they are clear if they have not already. The next time we engage with the
Protector we will take the ship."
Her eyes still closed, she nodded to let the Captain know she'd heard her
and understood. Sekal she was sure had realised by now that we was unlikely
to get a verbal response from Vex unless something had or was going
seriously wrong. She was watching the entire 'game' play out through the
eyes of the ship, the eyes Luma used to understand and relate to everything
around her.
Not being particularly well versed with the tactics of war, she'd been
somewhat impressed with the initial collisions and planning the 'enemy'
commanders had put into the event. The Hamilton for example, was clearly
trying to direct the battle and not let the Illuminar with its superior
firepower corner it. Without Luma however they were unable to pull off
quite the same level of micro-jump that the Illuminar was and hence on its
second jump, jumped much further out that Illuminar would have had to do.
It did however seemingly leave the Protector exposed. Was that their plan?
The Protector was clearly the best suited out of the two of them for battle
and where was the Sisko, when were they going to rejoin the battle?

Keung had wandered into the Bridge to check the status of his Security officers who were guarding the Bridge. He heard the conversation about the idea of sending a shuttle with a couple of boarding teams. ?Excuse me, Captain. If you give the go ahead, I have two teams armed and ready for boarding. Infact I would like to go and lead one of the teams myself.? Said Keung.

Jaton Alyl, ACSec- Ensign (sg)- Keung Lee, SecO- Ensign (jg) T'Mur, COps-
Lieutenant Dieter Gregory- 1358)
?Excuse me, Captain. If you give the go ahead, I have two teams armed and
ready for boarding. In fact I would like to go and lead one of the teams
myself.?
Sekal turned his eyes from the small viewer that had risen from the chair
arm and he nodded at his assistant chief of security. "The Hamilton or
Protector are undecided on which should take the first honor Ensign. As
soon as the Hamilton's shields are down I will send you over. If that is
the Protector is not able to interpose itself between us."
?Aye? said Keung. He wandered over to the Security and Tactical station
where T?Mur was sitting. ?Inform Alpha and Bravo boarding teams to tool up
and make their way to the Hanger deck. They are on standby as of now.
Also alert the rest of the Security team to be ready for any possible
counter boarding measures?
?Aye sir,? T?Muir replied and moved over to the comm pad. She tapped in
the commands Lee had given her.
Jaton was monitoring sensors when he noticed something odd coming from the
Hamilton. ?Captain,? he said, turning around, ?the Hamilton is opening its
launch bay. I think they?re going to launch something.?
He then turned back, only to see the sensors reading the completion of the
Hamilton?s bay door cycle, with nothing else on sensors. ?Wait. The doors
are closed again. Nothing launched. At least nothing that I can pick up on
sensors.?
Sekal turned a questioning eye to the Trill. "The Hamilton opened its
docking bay for approximately twenty seconds? Do you believe that the ship
might have released a cloaked vessel or vessels?"
?I can?t rule it out, sir. That seems to be the most likely scenario,
unless it was some sort of glitch in their systems. We?re not launching a
cyberattack on them, are we??
"No." Sekal stood to his feet and looked about the bridge. The only
movements were precipitated by Tempest Grey Wolf and he could anticipate
them to some extent.
"Is it possible that the enemy commanders came into the scenario with
sensor blind probes and cloaked shuttles Lieutenant?" His voice was
contemplative while as yet disbelieving.
?It?s looking that way, sir. I can?t answer as to why they would do that,
but here we are.?
He shook his head again. "This is irrational. Capturing the flag on a
vessel is not the purpose of the scenario. It is to test the offensive and
defensive systems of this ship. If the enemy commanders have taken such
steps then they have missed the purpose of the wargame. Their actions are
illogical within the framework of the scenario." He paused for an instant
before concluding. "However it must be noted that such an illogical
recourse is entirely human."
He shifted his weight as the ship yawed to starboard for an instant then
back.
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf, discontinue pursuit of the Hamilton." It was
difficult to fathom at this point in time but the human commanders of the
enemy fleet had gone even further than anticipated. Not only had one put
his ship and personnel in extreme danger by attempting to rob his ship of
its sensors but they appeared to have taken the wargame to previously
unexpected lengths. "Winning at all costs" was well in force. Sekal was
stunned for only an instant. His ship needed his immediate attention. The
plots of the enemy were deep and he surmised he had sprung a trap. If
cloaked shuttlecraft were in play it was because they believed they had
found an entry onto his ship. Lieutenant Gregory had mentioned a similar
plot earlier.
"Return to our original course and prepare to go to warp. The enemy has
plotted their movements in tandem with great care and it's time to enlarge
the battlefield so they can no longer work as a cohesive unit."
"Aye sir. Bringing the ship around."
His next order was not directed at any single individual as multiple people
could get involved. "Remodulate the frequencies on the shield emitters
immediately. The phasers as well." It was now becoming clear why the
Discovery class vessel had taken its position. Not only were they
monitoring in an effort to aid the ships on the wings but also gaining
intelligence on the Illuminar's systems. Sekal wasn't particularly
experienced in such matters but he was a quick study and once taught a
lesson he never forgot it.
T?Mur ran her hands over the controls to the shields and began the
remodulation ordered.
Gregory pulled up a coding screen on his console. In short order he?d
typed in a quadrature amplitude modulation algorithm, which pulled in
random variables from the crew, tapping into their biosigns, changing every
30 seconds or so. ?Ms. T?Mur, I am sending a code to your station now,
this will automatically keep remodulating the shields and phasers every 30
seconds, so that there is no discernible pattern that the Hamiltion will be
able to deduce,? he said as he sent the code.
T?Mur received the code and she entered it into her own modulation
calculations for the shielding. She watched as the algorithm began to
automatically adjust. This freed her up to monitor the tactical sensors and
weapons arrays.
"Engage the warp drive.Lieutenant." Sekal sat down in preparation for the
warp jump.
=^= The skin will not go to warp yet. There are other little ones
destabilizing the warp field.=^= The voice of Luma sounded less than
thrilled. =^= They have just arrived and are snuggled up against our
shields and their shields are touching ours. This one sees their minds
clearly. The ship is not a shuttle. It is big but not as big as the others
and there are many small ones. =^=
"Recalibrate the warp field geometry to account for the increased mass."
Sekal snapped uncharacteristically.
"Aye sir!"
He turned to his assistant chief. "Ensign Lee it would appear you have your
opportunity. The Sisko is attempting to match their shield harmonics with
ours. Once matched they will be able to slip through. Get your teams to the
transporter room and beam over as soon as they are clear."
?Aye Sir? said Keung. He approached T?Mur who was at the Security and
Tactical station. ?Alert Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 boarding teams to tool up and
make their way to transporter Room 2.?
Sekal noted the preparations but they had little time, there was potential
danger to the ship they were towing and the matter needed to be resolved
with as much alacrity as possible. "Get into position quickly."
?Aye Sir? said Keung. Smiling to himself. Action at last, he left the
bridge
Devers listened to the conversation. As much as he?s love to go with the
Chief, he had a job to do here. He slowly cracked his neck and smiled. It
was almost time to play.

ILLUMINARRPG: (16-1359)- USS Sisko FO, Commander Alex Karnovskyy
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 12:54:37 -0600
Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko- Deck 1 - Bridge - FO, Commander Alex Karnovskyy ? 1359)
Sasha held his breath for a moment as he could feel the Sisko glide into
position in a, what had been termed as a ?soft spot? of the Illumnars
shields. It wasn?t really a soft spot, but more of a spot where the
subspace graviton fields overlaid each other the least. It was the easiest
point of entry for what they were attempting to do.
?Mr. Irvine,? Karnovskyy called out softly, ?you better find that doorway
quickly. We cannot just hang out here indefinitely.?
?Aye sir,? the scientist replied, his fingers moving in a blur.
Sasha had never met anyone that could manipulate a computer interface as
quickly as Irvine. It was almost unnatural. He fought the urge to lean
over the man?s shoulder to see what he was doing. It would not have
mattered as he was certain that he would not be able to keep up mentally
with the continually shifting calculations that were being made, and minor
adjustments to their own shield harmonics to match.
He sat forward in his chair rubbing his knuckles of his right hand into his
cupped left hand, closed his eyes and focused on breathing. There was
little he could do to help, without trying to make Irvine feel rushed.
?Sir?? came a question from Leal at Ops.
Karnovskyy literally jumped to his feet. ?Yes.?
?I?m not sure how to explain this but the Hamilton has opened its launch
bay,? Leal continued. ?Did they have something planned??
?Not to my knowledge,? he replied. Perhaps they were trying to buy them
some time by causing a distraction. They must see something that we
don?t. Forest for the trees,? he said more to himself. Then he finally
turned to Irvine. ?Not to rush you Mr. Irvine, but??
?Almost there sir,? Irvine replied calmly. ?And?. we?re?. There. Do it
now Commander.?
?Engage thrusters,? Karnovskyy said.
Slowly the ship managed to start passing through the shields of the
Illuminar. Too much power would send them crashing into the other ships
hull. Too little would cause a feedback that could have equally disastrous
results on themselves.
Seconds flowed like Verillon molasses, until finally Leal called out,
?We?ve cleared their shields sir. We are in.?
?Prepare to transport the boarding party,? Sasha called out. This was
where things would get interesting.
Suddenly a voice called out, ?Sir??
Sasha rolled his eyes. That questioning call was starting to irritate him.
?Go,? he replied.
?Sir, something is happening with the Illuminar?s shielding. It?s? it?s
increasing in size.?
?It?s what?? Karnovskyy asked, looking at the Ops officer. ?We?ve been
made. Shields. He tapped the shipwide comm channel on his chair.
?Attention all crew, red alert. We are about to be boarded.?
Then he tapped his comm badge. ?Queens Pawn Sacrifice.? He moved over to
the weapons locker on the bridge and picked up a phaser, making sure it was
set to 1. It was, after all, only a game.

"The Warp field geometry was tricky with that much mass but I've got it
realigned sir." The voice came from a backup science station. "It's going
to burn through 23% more fuel than normal but considering how lean this
ship is on burning anti-deuterium to begin with I don't believe we will
miss it much. It is also possible there will be fluxes in the warp field
that will take my undivided attention."
"Thank you Mister Winters. You are correct, our anti-deuterium fuel
reserves are more than sufficient to successfully conclude the war game,
our mission and more. Monitor the warp field closely." He faced forward
again.
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf take us to maximum warp."
The ship flashed into warp with the Sisko slung beneath it like a baby roo
in its mothers pouch.
The speed continued to climb. "Reaching cruising speed sir, warp seven."
"Continue."
Warp nine was soon reached and still the ships speed increased until it
passed warp 9.8. Ahead of the ship the subspace tunnel opened. Sekal
watched along with everyone else on the bridge as Illuminar lurched and it
was pulled into a tributary of the subspace river. Energy flickered along
the interior of the tunnel like flashes of lightning as they sped past.
"How long to maintain this speed sir?"
"Sixty seven minutes Lieutenant."
Tempest turned her head. "That will be almost three light years sir."
"Affirmative. At warp nine point eight it will take nearly six hours for
the Hamilton to make that distance. We will have dealt with the Sisko and
be on our way back long before then. The Protector will be much later in
arriving. Once we have dealt with the Sisko we will slow to release it then
return to deal with our other foes."

ILLUMINARRPG: (16-1403)- SecO- PO1 Steven Hammons
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 00:58:24 -0600
NRPG: Boarding action incoming. Since the main story is being written off
camera so to speak I'm going to add enough detail so that everyone knows
what is going on.
RPG
Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar - Deck 4- Transporter Room 2- SecO- PO1 Steven Hammons-
1403)
"Holy hell!" Steven swore as he took his place on one of the transporter
pads. This had not gone at all as planned so it was time to do things 'on
the fly' so to speak.
The red alert lamp was still active and the klaxon was sounding even though
the ship had gone to transwarp. Why?
~Whoever has been planning this has got the devil's own cunning.~
Word was filtering down that the enemy tactics had taken the CO completely
off guard but being presented with lemons he was making lemonade. ~The
Vulcan variety.~
The Illuminar had left the Protector to take on the USS Hamilton which
should have been at a severe disadvantage presumably. The USS Protector had
been taking a severe pounding but hadn't released its fighters as
anticipated, instead it had tried to take out the Illuminars sensors prior
to doing so. Anticipating this Captain Sekal had changed targets.
Just when it looked like the Hamilton was well in hand they appeared to
release something or somethings cloaked from their shuttlebay.
Sensing yet another trap Sekal had disengaged and attempted to go to warp
only to find out thanks to Luma'Lenai and her telepathic abilities that the
cloaked USS Sisko was in process of attempting to merge its shield
harmonics with those of Illuminar.
How was Hammons finding out all of this information? Alaya was relaying it
from Luma to himself through their bond.
The depths of the planning going into this wargame was staggering. The
enemy fleet knowing they had no chance ship vs. ship was trying to win by
capturing the Illuminar via stealth.
So what was the score at the moment? The warp field geometry had been reset
to include the Sisko and Illuminar had entered the transwarp tunnel with
the Sisko helplessly in tow.
It was now a matter of who could capture whos ship and Ensign Lee was due
in the transporter room any second to lead boarding teams to the Sisko.
Hammons had a hand phaser set on minimum stun. Anyone hit was 'out of
action' same as their team. He wasn't wearing his knife, Lee had banned the
use of bladed weapons despite the outcry from the Klingon and Andorian
members of the boarding teams. There would be no bloodletting. These
weren't enemies of the Federation they were fighting despite their
underhanded tactics.
"Everyone armed up?" His question was addressed to the other members of the
boarding team with him. Of course they were but due diligence was
necessary. "Phasers on setting one only."
(Reply: Any who want to play on the boarding team, Tamblyn, any)
The door opened and Keung Lee entered.
"Boarding team 2 ready sir, everyone present and accounted for."
(Reply: Lee)
Hammons had also heard some other things that were just rumors at the
moment but if they had any basis in reality the Vulcan CO had not only been
caught off guard but was practically incensed at the tactic of trying to
blind the Illuminar used by the Protector. There was no doubt that this
tactic was going to receive a scathing report from Sekal to the admiralty
due to the danger it could have caused to his ship and crew. Hammons wished
him luck, heads needed to roll over that tactic.

Ensign Keung Lee entered Transporter Room 2 followed by a anti grav trolley with a box on top. His hand phaser was attached to his belt and he had a phaser rifle slung on his back. He approached the six members of the Alpha 1 Boarding team.
Steven Hammons called out ?"Boarding team 2 ready sir, everyone present and accounted for."
?Thank you? Replied Keung ?Boarding team 2 call sign is now designated as Alpha 1 and we will be the team who will capture the bridge. Alpha 2 boarding team are on their way and they will be assigned to secure Engineering. I will be leading Alpha 1 and we will transport to one deck away from the Bridge as I suspect that the opposition are expecting a boarding party to appear on the bridge or at least in the locality of the bridge...which make us sitting ducks!! In the box here are flash grenades as well as handcruffs. So help yourself to them. Remember to set your phasers to low settings and then when your opponent are down, cuff them. Alright everyone on the transport pads?
Alpha 1 stepped onto the transport pad and Keung looked towards the transporter operative ?Energise?

?Captain, shields for the Illumnar are down. We have intruders,? Leal called out. Deck 2. Section D.?
?Track them,? Karnovskyy replied. It wasn?t unexpected. He tapped a button on his command chair. Then he smiled. ?Clear the area. Let them come. I want see what they?ll do.?
?Sir?? The questioning ?sir? was going to drive him insane.
?You heard me,? he repeated, ?let them come.?
He moved over to his chair and began to work at the controls, then he jumped up and moved over to the security station. Lt. Barnes stepped aside and watched. Barnes looked at Sasha and a smile came across his face. ?You have got to be kidding.?
?Never,? Sasha replied.
?They?ve split up,? Leal announced. ?One group has ? entered the Jefferies tubes between Decks 2 and 1.?
Karnovskyy changed his calculations and tapped in the commands. Barnes couldn?t help himself, as he let out a burst of laughter. ?That is too perfect? sir.?
Karnovskyy gave Barnes a wink and tapped the final execute key. There was a slight hum as power went out and level 4 security force fields were activated at both ends of the Jefferies tubes. The men inside were sealed in. With another tap, a security field went up behind to team that was still moving up the stairs and in front of the entrance to the bridge, trapping those men as well.
?I don?t think that went as well as they had planned,? he said. Then he went back to his normal serious demeanor. ?This is not over. I would expect more company soon. Let?s change the modulation of our shields to random, every 15 seconds. If they got through once it is only a matter of time they will try again. Let?s be ready.?

There was a sudden whine, and then a jolt. The unexpected momentum nearly
pulled Karnovskyy out of his seat before the inertial dampeners kick in.
?Govno,? he said under his breath. ?What in the hell is going on??
?Apparently the Illuminar has gone to warp? with us in their warp bubble.
They are taking us for a little ride.?
Irvine added, ?Because we did not initiate the sudden speed our inertial
dampers did not kick in. I was able to initiate the dampers before we all
were squashed.?
?Con?? Karnovskyy called out.
?We are currently? riding at Warp seven, and increasing speed.?
?Can we pull out of the warp bubble?? Sasha asked anyone.
?We could, but the sheering force of sudden deceleration would tear us
apart immediately. We would need to create a stable threshold. I?m pretty
sure we don?t have time for that.?
Sasha frowned, and thought. The strain of the acceleration was starting to
strain the hull of the Sisko. He could hear moan and groan of stress.
?Warp 8, sir,? Borag called from the Conn. ?We are going to have a bit of
trouble if the acceleration maintains.?
?We need options people,? Karnovsky urged. ?Get your brains to work.
?What if we go to warp while in the Illuminar?s warp bubble??
?The last time someone opened a static warp bubble inside a warp bubble it
caused an alternate reality,? reported Gorman, from the science station.
?I?m afraid we really are along for the ride on this one.?
?Warp 9,? Borag rang out. It was starting to get on Karnovskyy?s nerves.
Sasha sat down in the command chair then sat back. There was little else
they could do at this point except prepare for boarding.
?Warp 9.8, 9.9.?
Sasha knew that this could not hold up for long. And he could feel the
pressure build as the computer announced, =^=Hull pressure approaching
maximum levels.=^=
It might normally have recommended that they reduce speed, but they were
not actually ?moving? by the computer?s knowledge. .

Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Protector - Deck 1 Bridge CO Jason Nesmith - 1405)
In the fifteen minutes since they initiated the Castle maneuver with the
Hamilton, the board had changed dramatically. As best they could tell, the
Illuminar went to warp with the Sisko within their warp field. That alone
was a dangerous maneuver and required a lot of computational power and
speed to keep the field stable. There was no way the Sisko could break out
of the warp field either.
?Damn,? he said as he stood up from his chair. ?That was a Frank Marshal
move.?
?Wiggins, options.?
?Marshal won that game, Sir.?
?Don?t I know it,? Nesmith retorted. ?Helm, display the probable
trajectory of the Illuminar based on their last known bearing.?
?Aye, Sir.?
Ivonava spoke, ?He?s not going to stop till either he takes over the Sisko,
or vice verse. The Sisko can?t shoot him at close range in warp, and if he
drops out of warp, that gives the advantage back to the Sisko.?
Nesmith nodded, ?So he?s taken our queen. We need to regroup and replan.
Most of all we have to find her again. What was the Illuminar?s max
speed??
?Sir, the records indicate warp 9.975 for twelve hours. Normal cruising is
7.5,? Lieutenant Watne said from the science station.
?Of course, with such an extra load as the Sisko, I?m guessing they are not
making that speed. To do so would require tremendous power. Mr. Wayne, I
want you to make some projections, based on our incomplete information, as
to maximum speed the Illuminar could make. Then plot on the map that Ms.
T?hrace is generating.?
Nesmith sat down again and tapped his comm. ?Ms. Robson, what is the status
of the warp drive??
=^= Sir, the battle simulation computer says another 5 minutes to restore
full warp power =^=
?Acknowledged,? he replied. ?That was another mistake, X. A miscalculation
on my part. Illuminar was pounding the nacelle,? he said. ?It was a
woodpusher move. We will have lost about 28 minutes. The Illuminar will
have a good 10 minutes head start on us. Remind me to have Ms. Robson run
some drills. We need to find ways to improve those times.?
?We need to signal the Hamilton, we can?t go rushing there. Let?s game out
scenarios.?
?Mr. Tracy, put me through to Commodore Willet. I?ll be in my ready room.
X, the bridge is yours.?
Nesmith headed to his ready room while Commander Ivanova moved into the
command chair.?

?Motherfu??
?Language.? Came a quick sharp voice from behind her.
Rolling her eyes, she stood up. ?What just happened?? They hadn?t planned
for this.
?Illuminar has jumped away, looks like they?re about to reach high warp.
With their extra power they could be cruising at that speed for hours
before dropping.?
?But why?? The question this time came from her First Officer.
There was a silence around the Bridge before, ?They took the USS Sisko with
them. Enlarged their warp bubble and trapped them. Captain Sekal must be a
maniac.?
Sherri nodded in agreement with her Chief of Operations. ?I?d suggest the
term over-confident.? Sherri said in reply before she sighed. ?Take us back
to the Protector and have both ships begin to follow at full Impulse for
now. Get Commander on the horn??
The communications officer interrupted, ?Sir, Commander Nesmith is hailing
and would like to speak with you.?
?I?m sure. Put him through in my ready room.? She stepped around the
Bridge, nodding to the First Officer and as she walked off the Bridge she
could hear the chatter begin behind her,
?If either of those ships moves wrong??
?If Sisko tries to disengage??
?What a mess the whole thing will be if either ship gets destroyed..?

Alpha 1 led by Keung was on deck 1 where ahead of him was the entrance to the Bridge right now guarded by six Security guards who were clumped together talking to each other.. Crewman Rawlinson who was at the rear of the group heard the buzz of a force field suddenly appear behind him. Keung also heard the same buzz saw that the Sisko Security guards suddenly became aware of them! A stand off, was the first thing he thought of. Keung grabbed his phaser and dived to onto the deck ?Open fire? he ordered his team. At the same time, he had set the settings to wide dispersal. The hours of training of firing phasers in confirmed places looked like it paid off, as the members of Alpha 1 were quicker in firing their phasers at the cluster of the guards! Green beams struck the group who went down. The force field behind them was still operating. Keung glanced at the stunned bodies and turned to crewman Richards and Ling ?cuff them.
Keung saw the entry panel beside the doors. He went over and cautiously press the buttons on the entry panel but the doors did not respond. ?Rawlinson blow these doors? Rawlinson took out an explosive device from his pouch and affixed it to the bridge doors
He turned round, gave a thumbs up and joined the others crouching down. ?fire in the hold? he muttered to himself and pressed the denotator in his hand. The doors blew open. Immediately Ling and Richards lopped flash bangs granades into the interior of the bridge.
?Go..go..go? shouted Keung
Ling and Richards ran into the smoked filled bridge, firing rapidly at any figure who were straggling around as a result of the flash bang efforts. The rest of Alpha 1 rushed in with Keung in the rear. ?Clear!? shouted Richards and Rawlinson at the same time. It was over. The entire encounter, from first phaser blast to last, was over in less than two minutes.
Keung went to the Ops station and press the panel to switch off the force field. ?Secure these people and cuff them.? He pressed his combadge ?Alpha 1 to Alphas 2. Status report.?
Alpha 2 to Alpha 1. Engineering secured.?
?Alpha 2. Sweep the decks for any Sisko crew members and take them out? ordered Keung. He looked around at the bridge and the stunned bridge crew being handcuffed. He saw one prone man with the pips of the Captain on his label. Feeling satisfied, he pressed his commbadge ?Keung to Illuminar. USS Sisko is secured. I repeat USS Sisko is secured.?

Alpha 1 were crawling through the Jefferies tube when Keung heard a buzzing sound. That sounds familiar, thought Keung as he looked around at the source of the sound. Crewman Rawlinson who was at the rear of the group called out ?boss! A force field has been erected at my end?. Keung looked ahead of him and saw the shimming effects of a force field. He anticipated some obstacles but a force field in a Jefferies tube!!!
He signed and pressed his commbadge ?Alpha 2. Respond. We caught between two forcefields in the Jefferies tube on deck 2. What?s your status. Have you secured Engineering yet??
He waited for a response before looking back at his team. ?Any ideas of how we get through the force field??

Alantar - 14.11)
As an engineer, Tycho's job wasn't necessarily to do battle. His job
was dealing with the energy and physical depletion of the ship.
Normally. Today he was having fun cross-training. War games were a
good way to test the ship as well as yourself, and sometimes an
engineer was a good asset in the field, so he'd put in for a chance to
be on the boarding team and got lucky. At least that was his thoughts
on it.
Strapped to his leg alongside the standard equipment was a sheathed
blade, earned by trial of combat. A cherished tool of honor as he was
told by the ghojmoHwI' when it was awarded. The other leg had a
multitool and mini kit he'd designed for such situations. It hadn't
hurt to point out it needed some field testing to work out any kinks.
The shimmer of the fields was evident the microsecond they went up. He
chuckled to himself realizing they'd been tracked right into the tube
and to their current position, how else were they all in the same
section? Immediately, he started casting about for an access panel.
The ACSO called down the line for ideas, and he piped up, "If there's
any access panels, I can get us in." He pulled his tools and wiggled
them in the air.
(reply Lee, any)

NRPG: Just a small one to bring him into the situation. I can insert
him earlier in the timeline if you want, but otherwise assume he has
been with the team all the way.

?Commander.? Sherri said as she activated the screen and saw the man appear
on the screen in front of her. ?I?m unsure on where to begin. It seems even
the best laid plans can fail when presented with a foe who would rather
flee than fight.?
=^= Captain Sekal made an insane move, which complicates our options,? he
started. ?And with him at warp, carrying the Sisko, coming out of warp is
going to be very complicated. I?m not an engineer, but we might want to
get our crews talking in case we need to affect a rescue of some sort.=^=
?Agreed.? She paused, ?Dammit Sekal. This was meant to be a nice easy test
of the ships defensive and offensive capabilities and he?s gone and made it
into a high speed? THE highest speed chase he possibly could. I suppose the
Admiralty will want us to follow and not take Illuminar fleeing as a
secession. I see no need to jump straight in after them, unless you have
other thoughts. Neither ship can catch them now, so it?ll be a case of
planning out and figuring where he?s gone to hide.?
=^= That is a good point Ma?am. I have my teams working on the trajectory
the Illuminar left on to see if there are any natural places they might try
to stop. My science team is also trying to do some modeling about the
details of the Illuminar based on what we know from briefing and the data
from your scans.=^=
?My team should have provided the Protector with all the information we
gathered before he left. I do wonder what made him jump and to take the
Sisko with them in what would be a risky maneuver in an actual fight, never
mind a fake one.
=^= I don?t have a good answer Commodore. This war game has turned upside
down. Commander Wiggins is starting to game out some new tactics assuming
a three body problem. I don?t know if the Illuminar is expecting us to come
after her at maximum warp. Unfortunately we have to sacrifice the Sisko to
ultimately get a better position. I would recommend we configure some
class nine probes with enhanced sensor pallet. Perhaps with data from your
scanners, we can focus the sensors on specific bands. The class nine has a
12 hour duration at warp 9. I don?t know how long it would take to
configure them to output warp signatures similar to our ships. Might draw
out the Illuminar to investigate.? =^=
?That?s a clever thought Commander, I like it. I say we take the hour,
setup defensively in case Sekal decides to turn back and cross our fingers
that the Sisko manages to do some damage before they take them out of the
game. Have the class nine probes readied and we?ll look for any other
advantages we can gain. This time we take him together, any more trickery
and I feel Sekal will just run again.?

?Any ideas of how we get through the force field?? Chief Lee asked of the
group.
Steven chuckled as the klingon in their group growled in frustration. He
had pointed his phaser at the force field blocking them in but wisely opted
not to fire.
"Calm down Galk. I'm not an engineer but of all the places we could have
gotten hemmed in by a force field you're looking at the best. What do you
think jeffries tubes are for anyway?"
The Klingon turned his head and gave Hammons a glare. "They're for routing
power and EPS and isolinear access of course...." His eyes opened wide as
it hit him where Steven was going then the metal sashed Klingon gave a huge
grin as he emitted a deep growl. "Ah!"
Hammons grinned back, just not as ferally. "You see?"
"If there's any access panels, I can get us in."
Steven turned his smile on the engineer then jerked a thumb toward him as
he looked back at Galk.
"You see? This guy is and thank God he's here or I might have cut off life
support or anti-gravity by poking around with electronic modules or chips
at random."
"Hlja buy' ngop!" (Yes that's great news.) Galk replied then walked over
and slapped Alantar on the shoulder, since he didn't dislocate it the
gesture was obviously friendly.
(Reply: Any)
Steven and the Klimgon immediately thereafter jumped to helping the
engineer who was poking around looking for a plate he could shinny through.
Galk was the first to spot a likely suspect
"Maj! Here is one." The burly warrior had pried his fingers behind the
corner of a loosely aligned plate. Steven jumped over to help him and
together they pulled with all their might. It wasn't budging!
"Damn!" Steven turned to Tycho. "You don't happen to have a sonic
screwdriver on you do you?"
(Reply: Alantar)
"Never mind, that was long before our time. Are they still making episodes
of Doctor Who? I mean he would be in his 500th incarnation or something
wouldn't he?" Steven pulled himself back to the task at hand. "You know a
magnetic polarizer/depolarizer doohicky."
(Reply: Alantar)
Steven hopped to his feet to get out of his way and pulled Galk to the side.
"Let the man work, this is his arena of expertise."

Tycho grinned at Galk and punched back, not afraid to put some heft
into his fist. He wasn't part of a House, but he'd been around enough
Klingons to know it would be appreciated, "Chay' suvwI'pu'!" (Victory
needs many warriors.) Their search was short, and Galk was the one who
found their crack in the wall.
While the others tried to brute force the panel, Tycho pulled out
tools that would best suit. They gave a good go at the stubborn
hardware, but it wasn't going anywhere, even a badly mounted Starfleet
panel could stand up to someone being handsy. Waiting for them to stop
the show, he raised an eyebrow when the Security officer swore before
turning to him. "Damn! You don't happen to have a sonic screwdriver on
you do you?"
He shrugged, "Not sure what that is, The only old style screwdriver I
know of is called a Phillip's head."
"Never mind, that was long before our time. Are they still making
episodes of Doctor Who? I mean he would be in his 500th incarnation or
something wouldn't he?" Steven pulled himself back to the task at
hand. "You know a magnetic polarizer/depolarizer doohicky."
Tycho smiled, "Old Earth fiction is it? I'm more of a Tolkien man
myself. Even gone into the Holodeck for a good battle at Helm's Deep a
time or two. Nothing quite like being thrown into the enemies by a
tall Elf," he pointed at the sticky panel, "Now, if you don't mind?"
Steven hopped to his feet to get out of his way and pulled Galk to the side.
"Let the man work, this is his arena of expertise."
Tycho took his compact form down to the panel and tuned his multitool,
keeping the chatter up while his hands did the automatic work of
pinpointing the attachments he needed to dislodge. "As to the tool
you're talking about, normally, an EJ7 interlock is what I'd use. But
given this is a battle sim, I can't have the luxury of..." he grunted
and levered the last of the panel off, "ALL my tools."
(Reply any)
At that he handed over the panel cover and started getting into the
wetworks, making a quick assessment, "We have access to some gelpacks,
wait..." He started digging behind the GPs, his look of glee apparent.

Tycho grinned, "Oh hoho, I found the line for gravity on the bridge. I
can make them float. Qapla'."

Mission: Decompression
Day 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko- Deck 1 - Bridge - FO, Commander Alex Karnovksyy ? 1413)
Karnovskiyy knew that the Illuminar crew trapped in the Jefferies Tube were not stupid. They were easily as well trained as his people. But they did not know his ship. He also knew that anyone with half a brain would be looking for a way out, and since there were several fully brained people in there it wouldn?t take long to start poking around in an access panel to do something that would not bode well the Sisko.
He contemplated releasing Anistazine into the tube, but those tubes do not ventilate very well, so when they had to finally release the force field they would have some issues venting the gas out. They had to come up with a plan before those trapped managed some kind of counter-counter offensive. Those tubes did house some access to sensitive systems.
He turned to Barnes, ?I want to know what they?re talking about in there. Is there a way to tap into the comm systems??
Barnes shrugged, ?I?ll see what I can do.? He turned to his security station and began to work on the problem.
Then Sasha turned to the first two security officers. ?I want the two of you at the other end of that tube. I have an idea to at least thin out their herd a bit. I have a feeling that there are people at the entrance of the tube. I want to switch off the deck field, have you reach in and grab that man and pull him out. You?ll have about five seconds before we turn the security field back on. While you are causing a commotion down there, we will do the same thing up here and grab the one closest to us. We may have to? sedate them a little to keep them fighting back to much. Please stun them at a low level. Remember they are friends when this is all over.?
The question is going to come as to what to do with them after that, but he?d have to deal with that afterwards. The stunned members of the boarding team will not give them that serious of a fight. The two men left the bridge. A moment later he received the message.
=^=Jones to Commander Karnovskyy, we are in place.=^=
Karnovskyy nodded to the two guards closest to the tube entrance. They nodded back. He tapped his comm badge as he reached over to force field controls. ?In three? two? one.?
He tapped the button that turned of the field on deck two. All he could hear was the sound of a slight struggle, a dingle phaser round, and turned the force field back on. Then he tapped the button for the deck one field. He watched as the two men threw open the hatch reached in and grabbed someone, pulled them from the tube quickly, and he turned the field back on. The crewman from the Illuminar was being held against the bulkhead with a phaser pointed at him.
The commander went over to the scene. ?Easy tovasrisch, don?t make this worse than it is. How many are in your team?? Of course he already knew the answer from the ships internal scans, but he was just looking for some cooperation,

From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 13:26:38 -0600
Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar - Deck 1 Bridge - CO, Captain Sekal and SecO- Ensign (jg)
T'Mur- 1413)
Vex'ahlia Jordaan was coming around now. Sekal was unaware of what had
caused her collapse as well as the remedy since Luma had gone silent.
Counselor Trei had come onto the bridge and was in deep concentration, her
brow furrowed deeply due to mental effort she was exerting.
Ensign Lee had transported along with boarding parties to the USS Sisko and
reports were sporadic.
The Illuminar's engines were working at an unanticipated level of 83% due
to pulling the Sisko with them through warp at high speed but there was no
issue there, there was a sufficiently large safety margin to ensure there
should be no component failures. The warp drive had now been thoroughly
vetted and tested.
While waiting for further reports the Captain was considering what the next
moves of the other vessels would be upcoming. He had been unprepared for
the unorthodox tactics being employed initially against him but was
determined that such would not happen again.
The USS Protector had finally launched its fighters. Would they be in play
from the beginning of their next meeting? Sekal had originally anticipated
they would use them from the get go in order to throw overwhelming numbers
of targets at his ship but that CO had not done so. Rather than sacrificing
them early in order to pound the Illuminar he had kept them in reserve. His
tactic to shield them during the launch while reprehensible in form was
logical in the area of managing his resources no doubt hoping to use them
during the "long game" or perhaps the end game. Sekal had never spent much
time playing chess though he was familiar with it and many of its terms and
moves. The bulk of his time had been spent either honing his mind in the
sciences or his body through fitness training.
Anticipating their tactics was going to be far more crucial than he had
originally concluded, this war game had not been a slugfest but far more
cerebral in planning and execution. Had he been one of the enemy commanders
however such strategies would have been necessary since none of the vessels
they faced could legitimately stand 'toe to toe' with the Illuminar. He had
underestimated those enemy commanders, almost disastrously.
Sacrificing the Hamilton in their next meeting in order to gain an
advantage would be logical but also easily foreseen, they would not use
that tactic without additional layers of planning. The most likely tactic
would be to find a way to disrupt the power flow of the ship by using some
variation of an electromagnetic or tachyon field trap. Why? They could not
overpower the Illuminar through force of armament, making her defenseless
was their best available option. A sufficiently dense tachyon field could
disrupt the Illuminar?s shields leaving it open to boarding parties.
Logic dictated that such a maneuver should be expected. A tachyon or
similar field would be difficult for one or even two ships to pull off
effectively that were not already outfitted for it. Had they been already
prepared for such he surmised they would have used it in their opening
gambit.
They would need numerous platforms for such an attack and both ships had a
sufficiently large number of probes left with which to initiate such a
gambit. They couldn't expect the Illuminar to blithely blunder into such a
trap however and would need bait. This line of thinking brought him back to
the Hamilton? or the Protector. Either one could be used as a Judas goat in
such a scenario. Being the command ship he anticipated that the Hamilton
would be the one to spring the trap while using the Protector as the bait.
He turned to his CSO. "Lieutenant Alyl we need to be prepared for more
unorthodox attacks by the remaining enemy ships. I need a solution to a
possible attempt to destroy the Illuminar's shields by the enemy through
the use of a tachyon field. We need a method for defeating such an attempt."
(Reply: Alyl)
"Understandable. Nevertheless if we are lured into such a trap we will need
counter measures. Finding a workable one is your task."
(Reply: Alyl)
"What is the status of the USS Sisko? How much longer until the vessel's
hull begins to fail catastrophically?"
?So far,? T?Mur reported, ?the Sisko seems to be weathering the hull
stress. By my calculation they should be meeting a critical hull failure
in thirty-three point seven seconds. They may be able to prevent critical
failure by rerouting their warp power to the shields but that would only
aford them three point eight extra minutes and it would leave them
completely defenseless if the Illuminar comes out of warp before then.?
He nodded and turned to Sky. "Ensign Winters report on the warp field."
Sky didn't look away from the readings, his fingers were moving
intermittently on the controls. "Fairly stable Captain. I'm making constant
adjustments. Holding it at nominal is difficult but I can keep it within
tolerances."
The Vulcan turned in his chair. "And when we begin to slow down?"
"We can't drop out of warp suddenly or the warp field will collapse
completely and could easily destroy both ships. We are going to have to
take it slowly and in stages. Engineering and Operations are going to have
to work closely together with me to keep the power flow, warp field
geometry and engines completely in synch."
"Understood." Sekal turned his attention to Vex who had resumed her seat
and was holding her head tenderly. "What has been happening Lieutenant?"
(Reply: Vex)
"Ah. And Luma has partitioned your mind from the empathic broadcast then?"
(Reply: Vex), any)

Alpha 1 materialised on deck 2 of the USS Hamilton without any opposition. Keung immediately led the team cautiously along the passage
(reply anyone)
Keung made a V with his fingers and pointed at his own eyes, before making a pointing motion forward. He pointed to his ear and waved. Radio silence. Alpha 1 team stayed low and crept forward, phaser and rifles braced and level..
(reply anyone)
Keung waved the rest of his party forward.as they headed into other corridors. Progress was slow. The interior of the ship was a series of conduits and shadows, hidden nooks and darkened hatches,. Every corner could hide a foe and there was no shortage of corners there.
(reply)
Keung was checking their position on the ship's schematics loaded on his tricorder motioning silently for them to continue down the corridor. He was guiding them toward their destination, which was one of the Jefferies vertical access shafts which ran across all decks.
(reply anyone)
They came to an adjoining passage where there was a wide spiral metal staircase:leading to the deck 1 where the Bridge was located. Keung held up two figures and whispered ?two volunteers to go up first?

"Just ahead here," Keung said, gesturing to the bulkhead framing a single hatch. "The access shaft should be behind."
The hatch opened easily. Keung crouched and peeked inside. "Exactly as expected? he said to the others. ?The shaft goes up to the deck where we want." The hatch was connected to a short tunnel that opened up into a vertical passage
(reply anyone)
As they climbed, the air in the shaft was slightly stale, almost as if the life-support system had only created a viable environment in this limited space as an afterthought.
(reply anyone)
They finally arrived at the deck 1. There was again a short passage from the ladder shaft leading to the egress hatch, identical to the one decks below. Keung lifted up two finguers and pointed to the passage. ?Two volunteers?
(reply anyone)
In the passage, were six Security officers of the USS Hamilton guarding the entrance to the Bridge

ILLUMINARRPG: FW: (16- 1415)- Assistant Chief of Security ensign Keung Lee
From: Tsangjk at outlook.com (John Tsang)
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2021 17:34:29 +0000
Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko- Deck ? Jefferies tube- Deck 2 - SecO- PO1 Steven Hammons - 1415)
Keung checked the position of his team. Rawlinson was still at the back and O?Riley was covering the front of the Jefferies tube. He made an educated guess that sooner or later, the Sisko security officers will be arriving soon and they needed to get out. He watched with fascination as Hammons and Galk were attempting to prise of a grilled plate which covered an access panel.
"Damn!" Steven turned to Tycho. "You don't happen to have a sonic screwdriver on you do you?"
(Reply: Alantar)
"Never mind, that was long before our time. Are they still making episodes of Doctor Who? I mean he would be in his 500th incarnation or something wouldn't he?" Steven pulled himself back to the task at hand. "You know a magnetic polarizer/depolarizer doohicky."
The reference to Dr Who bought a smile to Keung. That was his time and he was a big fan.
(Reply: Alantar)
Hammons hopped to his feet to get out of his way and pulled Galk to the side.
"Let the man work, this is his arena of expertise."
"Gentleman. You better hustle..we?re running against the clock.? Said Keung ?We not going to get help from the Tardis.? He pressed his commbadge ?Alpha 2. Have you secured Engineering yet?

ILLUMINARRPG: (16-1417)- SecO- Ensign (jg) Galk, son of Jos of the House of Kor
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2021 04:17:41 -0600
NRPG: Surely StarFleet hasn't forgotten that anything less than full stun
has little chance of taking down a Klingon warrior? Tsk. Tsk.
RPG:
Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko - Jefferies tube, Deck 2 - SecO- Ensign (jg) Galk, son of Jos
of the House of Kor - 1417)
The Klingon drew himself to his full height and snarled at the two officers
who were facing him. They weren't Klingons but they WERE StarFleet officers
and they weren't stupid. There were two of them, they had backed away
several steps so he couldn't easily reach them and were standing several
feet apart.
Galk was not currently in a good humor, he had been caught off guard
watching the engineers gleefully digging into the guts of this ship rather
than watching the entry into the tube. He had been quickly knocked off
balance which meant he couldn't use his strength against them and had been
unceremoniously man handled and tossed against the opposite wall as one of
them snatched his phaser.
He was currently glowering at the one who has his phaser dangling
negligently in his left hand as he was pointing another at HIM. The other
man had him covered as well.
Galk stood well over six feet and was a head taller than the tallest human
but he felt shorter. He had been captured like a ghotl in a net and had
dishonored his house. His honor and the honor of his house had been stained
by his inattention. This shame could not be easily erased, it could be and
would but not easily. It would take great effort and sacrifice on his part.
He flexed the heavy muscles of his shoulders and arms as he growled at the
humans while showing his impressive teeth. The officers didn't seem
concerned, they were the ones holding the weapons here, they had the
advantage.
=^= Easy tovasrisch, don?t make this worse than it is. How many are in
your team? =^=
Galk didn't look away from the officer who was holding his weapon. The
voice had come from the speakers. The confident man was not here.
"Ptaq!" He spat on the deck at the officers feet.
Then he looked up.
"You would have me dishonor my house further by giving you answers?" His
shame was being replaced by a growing anger.
"I am Galk, son of Jos of the house of Kor! Iw bIQtIq jIjaH! I have
traveled the River of Blood! I have stood as a warrior among my peers!"
He seemed to gain stature before the humans who reflexively backed up a
step.
"I have shed the blood of my enemies! I have drunk bloodwine in celebration
of my victories!" He roared.
A pinkish haze was growing at the edges of his vision as he flexed his
fingers unconsciously as though grasping the hilt of the D'k tagh he had
been forbidden to bring on this exercise, this game.
He lowered his eyes once again to the man holding his phaser. Yes this man
was a StarFleet officer but he was not a Klingon, this was Galk's
advantage. A Klingon would be holding a disruptor not a phaser and would
kill. The phasers in this game were not set to kill. This also was to
Galk's advantage. And if his phaser was set to light stun as Galk's was
then he might as well have been holding a twig. Galk's legs tensed beneath
him.
He roared again. "I am a Klingon warrior!
tIgwIj Sa'angNIS (Today I show you my heart!)
And then he pounced.
The light stun shots didn't even slow him down. He roared as he grabbed the
first man under his shoulders and lifted him from the deck as he squeezed.
The human screamed in shock and sudden pain. Galk was a Klingon, he was a
warrior but he had been forbidden to kill this day.
He turned and threw the man into his companion. The impact threw them both
against the wall by the entry to the jeffries tube as Galk launched himself
into the tangle. He would cleanse the shame of this day by making the owner
of the insulting voice pay.

ILLUMINARRPG: (16, 1418) Commander Alex Karnovksyy
From: amuir at sanjuan.edu (Al Muir)
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2021 17:01:18 +0000
NRPG: To be fair, we did not know that we were going to pull a Klingon warrior out of our Jefferies tube. That sounds like a line my proctologist might use. "Damn Mr. Muir, I didn?t expect to pull a Klingon out of your Jefferies tube.?
Mission: Decompression
Day 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko- Deck 1 - Bridge - FO, Commander Alex Karnovksyy ? 1418)
Karnovskyy shook his head, not realizing that they were going to pull a Klingon out of his Jefferies tube. They might as well have pulled out a wounded Targ. He knew he had to move quickly before that situation got worse. He heard the tussle before he saw it and by the time he was able to intervene he came the scene of what appeared to be a feral wolf on a pair of fresh killed deer.
He quickly adjusted his phaser to level three. He knew it wouldn?t really hurt the Klingon but it would get his attention. He fired, hitting the Klingon that had called himself Galk directly in the middle of his back. The reaction was exactly what Karnovskyy had hoped for. He had gotten Galk?s attention. He roared and stood away from the mass of security officers that he had laid waste to.
?Mr. Galk,? he said in a loud, forceful voice, emphasizing each syllable. ?Ceases and desist.?
The growl that came out of the Klingon showed that he might need a little more convincing. Klingons were not known to willingly stop fighting without cause. He decided that further motivation might be required. He pulled himself up to his full 6 foot 4 inches and spread his broad Russian shoulders that 20 years of Kyokushin Karate had made muscular.
?Are you certain that you wish to fight me, Mr. Galk?? Sasha looked directly into the Klingon?s eyes.
In the back of his mind he was wondering what was happening in his Jefferies tube while they had this distraction. He really didn?t have time to earn Galk?s respect. He brandished his phaser and made a demonstration of turning up the power level.
?Why don?t I just vaporize your left foot. Do you think that might slow you down enough for the rest of us to overpower you??
(reply Galk)

NRPG: Al gets initiative. How much back and forth happens depends on his
time to post and my layovers between flights of which I have 2 (3.5 and 2.5
hours). If we are having hellaciously good fun with it we may backpost some
starting Monday.
On Monday the next mission starts and we will close out the war game which
will end in a stalemate. We can't finish it unfortunately because of the
limited time frame but there's been some fine writing and it's looking
great. Should players involved in the war game want to backpost to it go
ahead but the mission should be the priority.

Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko - Deck 2 - SecO- Ensign (jg) Galk, son of Jos of the House of
Kor - 1419)
?Mr. Galk! Cease and desist.?
Galk looked toward the sound of the voice and the growl he gave was deep
and vicious. His right hand was not in sight of the officer.
The two men crumpled on the deck he had taken down weren't as badly off as
they appeared. They were unconscious with their limbs spread out like
broken dolls but Galk had been relatively gentle with them; relatively
being the key word. He had followed his orders and not killed. They would
heal ... eventually and had learned a valuable lesson today they could take
with them into the future. It was a lesson that might save their life some
day.
Never underestimate your enemy: neither his capabilities nor his resolve.
The Commander who was facing him drew himself up as if to gain the Klingons
respect or display his formidability. Galk was not impressed.
?Are you certain that you wish to fight me, Mr. Galk??
Galk didn't turn his body as he stood to his feet, his face showed contempt
for the officers preening and challenge. He hadn't yet spoken; preferring
to test the others nerve and determine where the encounter would lead.
The stun shot hadn't been that painful. A brief vision of his rite
ascension passed before his eyes. The arbiter of ascension standing in
judgment before him some 10 meters away. On either side of his path klingon
warriors stood above his route. The channel between them that led to the
arbiter left no way to veer to the right or the left.
Once among them there was no going back. To do so would be challenged by
those behind and such cowardice would meet swift punishment. The only way
was forward to the feet of the arbiter. Four klingons per side, four pairs
dealing out torment with their pain sticks in two applications.
That was true pain. Pain that locked up your joints, dimmed your vision,
set nerves burning with molten heat and brought forth howls of anguish torn
from your innermost being.
Galk had undergone the rite twice marking him a full warrior and at no time
had he gone to the floor. He had fought through somehow to lock his knees
and stood resolute, triumphant as the very depths of his soul cried out in
rage and pain; blinding pain.
A phaser and a posing, strutting officer held no terror for such as him.
?Why don?t I just vaporize your left foot. Do you think that might slow
you down enough for the rest of us to overpower you??
The officer had made a show of dialing up his phaser which he pointed at
Galk's left foot.
Galk turned now as he brought his right hand up and leveled it at the
others chest. There was no way of knowing if the phaser he held had
originally been his but he had increased the charge while his hand was
hidden from the officers sight.
"If you take my foot I will take your life Ptaq." He snarled. "And the
lives of those with you."
He saw the man blanch as his attention was drawn to the focusing crystal of
the phaser. Not a disruptor certainly, it would not cause him the pain of
that weapon but the finality of death was the same.
"You hide behind your weapon while you strut and preen. You demand I
acknowledge your strength as you display your weakness." Galk spat upon the
deck in disgust. The voice and the accent were the same. "I know who you
are Ptaq. You wanted information from me but instead of my words you will
receive my blows. If that is you will put aside your phaser and face me in
honorable combat using no weapon."
(Reply: Karnovsky)
Galk's lips pulled back from his teeth in a sneering smile as the other
considered. To defer would show his cowardice. To accept would seal his
fate. The Klingon had vowed to remove the stain of his shame this day and
remove it he would... or die in the attempt. In victory he would achieve
his aim, in defeat he would be welcomed among the honored dead in
Sto'vo'kor. But that would not happen except by treachery.
He bent his knees to place the phaser on the deck in time with Karnovsky.
Both watched each other carefully then as they stood up and kicked their
weapons away. Both were of roughly the same height. Karnovsky looked
capable of giving him a worthy fight if he was well trained but he could
not match the Klingons sheer power and ferocity. Still his physique was
hardened. It appeared their match would be good sport.
As they closed the sneer left his face though the smile remained. This was
what it meant to be a klingon. He threw back his head and howled in sheer
pleasure of imminent combat.

ILLUMINARRPG: (16, 1420) Lt. Bohb
From: amuir at sanjuan.edu (Al Muir)
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2021 00:06:40 +0000
NRPG: I hope you all don?t mind me introducing, or rather reintroducing, another SPC for the Sisko. Lt. Bohb was a character I had played< I believe, on the Mithrandir. Bohb is a Magillan. He is fully sentient ape like creature. Think of him like you might a more evolved Planet of the Apes type character. Very smart, very dexterous, with the ability to use their opposable toes as their thumbs. He?s kind of fun.
RPG:
Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko- Deck 2 ? Main Engineering - CEO (Sisko) - Lt. Bohb - 1420)
There was a bustle of activity in main engineer, as one might expect. Lt. Bohb was busy working on two monitors at the same time. He was watching the readings of the warp core, which were inactive, and was odd as they were traveling at warp 9.87, and had been for the last twenty minutes. The other monitor was monitoring shield output and hull pressure, both of which were the danger zone.
?Boh to bridge,? he said tapping his comm badge, ?sir, our systems are getting critical. To paraphrase Captain Montgomery Scott,?
His voice inflection and diction changed to mimic a good scotch brogue, ?She canna take much more this. She wasna design to take this kind of stress.? His voice went back to his typical Magillan deep voice. ?End quote. I?d to perpetuate the miracle worker person of Captain Scott, but we are running out of options.?
He looked around at the four engineers who were bury working on trying to shore up the shields so that they could provide more hull stability. The four security officers made the small room feel quite full.
?Rogers, you can?t pull power from the warp core for that, it?s too much power.?
Suddenly he heard a sound at the entrance. The doors had been magnetically sealed when boarders were reported. There was a security field between the hall and the mag-sealed door. Whoever was out there would take a while to get into main engineering under the most unchallenging scenarios. They can do it, but it will just take a while.
An alert went off and he turned his attention to the power relays. Somebody was messing about with power couplings in Jefferies tube 2A. Well that just wasn?t going to do. They had rodents in that tube and he was going to have to do something about it before they did something that would take him weeks to fix. He leaped over to another monster and his fingers danced.
Shaking his head he said softly to himself, ?Don?t ? play ? with ? that.?
As he said ?that? he activated the transporter and transported every lifeforms out of the tube and into the cargo bay, that he had already erected security protocols around every doorway, with the exception of the bay doors. If they wanted to get out that way they were welcome to do so.

ILLUMINARRPG: (16, 1421) Commander Alex Karnovksyy
From: amuir at sanjuan.edu (Al Muir)
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2021 17:28:48 +0000
Mission: Decompression
Day 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko- Deck 1 - Bridge - FO, Commander Alex Karnovksyy ? 1421)
It did not appear that Galk was ready to back down as he replied,"If you take my foot I will take your life Ptaq. And the lives of those with you. You hide behind your weapon while you strut and preen. You demand I acknowledge your strength as you display your weakness.?
When Galk spat upon the deck all Karnovskyy could think of was that had to get cleaned up. And Klingon spit ended to be quite viscous.
"I know who you are Ptaq,? Galk continued his tirade. "You wanted information from me but instead of my words you will receive my blows. If that is you will put aside your phaser and face me in honorable combat using no weapon.?
Sash sighed heavily and shook his head. The comm chime sounded and he heard the voice of Bohb. First came his report on their current status. Sasha filed that information. Then a moment later Bohb called back.
=^=Bohb to Commander Karnovskyy, I have relieved the Jefferies tube of their vermin. I found a new home for them in the cargo bay.=^=
Sash nodded and tapped his comm badge. ?Acknowledged. Good work lieutenant.?
That freed his mind up to deal with this Galk. He had no idea what it was like serving on the Illuminar but the lack of self control of this officer was, to say the least, disturbing. Perhaps Captain Sekal had to earn the respect of his officers through trial by combat. Not that Sasha shirked an opportunity to defend himself and his crew, a lifetime of Kyokushin training gives you that itch once in a while, but timing was everything.
However, with the threat in the Jefferies tube handled, for the moment, he could deal with this. Talk was clearly determined to rescue his honor. The game had gone out of this war and suddenly become very real. Hugging this situation out was not going to be satisfactory. Karnovskyy watched the face of the Klingon while he place his phaser on the deck plating. He was willing to die, or kill, to settle this matter. Life and death battles were not unheard of in Kyokushin, although most would stop with a good beating. Sasha had delivered, and received plenty of them.
He tossed his phaser to Lt. Barnes who was looking on with concern. Justin hated when ever Sasha fought. This was different. This was for Klingon honor. Full contact was going to be called on. Sasha gave him a confident wink, although inside that confidence was not as high. He?d fought with Klingons before, for sport, for fun, but this had a totally different feel, and may lead to a different result.
He stretched his shoulders out and rolled his neck and stepped forward. The Klingon, focused, but still smiling. He nodded towards him in a short bow and got in his fighting stance. Light on his feet and bouncing.
The Klingon threw back his head and howled. Sasha responded. ?Osu, let?s start."
His light step allowed Sasha to easily avoid the initial flurry of blows from the Klingon. He assumed that he would initiate with an aggression that only Klingons posses. Kings and wild wolves. Then Galk threw a hard punch that might have crushed his ribs. Karnovskyy parried the blow, stepped to the side and delivered a right cross to his jaw. He knew this would not stop him, but wanted to give the Klingon something to think about.

ILLUMINARRPG: 16, 1423) aCEO, Lt. Vex'ahlia Jordaan
From: jonostf at gmail.com (Jono Bradley)
Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 20:55:10 +0000
Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar, Bridge - aCEO, Lieutenant Vex'ahlia Jordaan - 14.23)
For almost an hour Vex had waged war mentally against the struggles of the
ship. She knew Luma was doing her best and couldn't be to angry with her
but they had some serious work to put in if they were to be effective in an
actual combat situation. In a somewhat reverse of the normal situation,
Luma had the most experience in dealing with ship-to-ship battles so
perhaps Vex was being overly sensitive to the lack of seriousness she
seemed to have for the Wargame.
Whilst trying to help with the tactical side of the battle, Luma had
directly contacted the new Security & Tactical officer T'Mur. The
connection between Vex & Luma, made even more so the shock, horror and
disgust (or at least that's what they felt like to Vex) that Vex was
flooded with from T'Mur when she did so was only the starting point. Having
made a mental note to apologise to the Vulcan post-battle for Luma's
interference.
On reflection of the past few weeks, she wondered whether Luma had now
become too friendly and sure of which crewmembers she could easily speak
with uninvited had lead to this intrusion of the mind. She'd also asked her
to stop talking with Alaya during the mission and return her focus to the
task at hand, the counsellor had no need for a blow-by-blow. Luma was able
to focus on both, yes, but she, Vex found it irritating to have to keep
track of the conversation and everything going on around her in the Bridge.
Keeping an ear out in case Sekal passed her an order that needed seeing to.
Once they'd detected the presence of the cloaked ship and the Captain had
taken them to warp, Vex allowed herself to relax a little- it was a game
afterall, noones lives were actually at risk.
They both watched as the security teams boarded the USS Sisko. Vex & Luma
were now the first people who would know if anything went wrong whilst they
were aboard, Illuminars sensors wouldn't help them much mid-warp, so the
telepathic monitoring Luma was capable of now that they were close enough,
would allow Vex to tell the Captain if they'd been succesful in their
mission or not.
Raw emotion blasted into her mind from all sides. She hadn't been ready for
this. There had been no expectation that enemy forces would use telepathic
warriors to try and disable Luma or her. Was this within the rules of the
War Game? She didn't think it was within the rules of Starfleet. "Ahh." she
mumbled outloud and gripped the armrest of the seat. Closing her mind off
would mean shutting out Luma. This was the risk they had to take during
battles if Luma was to be as effective as possible, it left Vex exposed,
like a raw nerve to the outside world. The world she'd kept at arms length
for her entire life.
::Help me Luma to deter the boarders..::
Ariel? What was she... "Ahhhh." gripped the chair harder.
::Make it.. :: she cried out to Luma for help.
::To all those who try to board the Illuminar, feel the pain or war, feel
the crippling emotion of fear and loss as you continue this exercise. Have
the pain suffocate you until you are paralyzed in fear.::
Before she could bring up her mental defences, the message seeped through.
The lack of intention by Ariel to harm her meant nothing, the pain and fear
overcame the once well reasoned mind of Vex'ahlia Jordaan began to fail.
Automatic defences that she'd once held onto failed and the ship around her
became incredibly loud as she struggled to regain her composure.
Her entire aim was to open her eyes and when she did the Bridge seemed to
be swirling around her, the Captain looked like he was probably saying
something important, couldnt have been that important though otherwise
she'd be able to hear him. Had the Bridge always been so vibrantly pink?
The colour scheme she thought was incredibly vivid and there were strange
wiggly lines poking out of the Captain's face. She tried to grab one but
her arm went straight through it and she fell forward onto the floor.
(Reply all on Bridge)
(Posted by Jono Bradley)
NRPG: Think of Vex in this moment as effectively a Beta-conduit for Luma.
She's living entirely within the Lenai, being the voice of the being and
not in control of her own mental defences. When another telepath (empath?)
unexpectedly overwhelms her it'd be like cutting quite literally into her
brain.

The connection between Vex & Luma, made even more so the shock, horror and disgust (or at least that's what they felt like to Vex) that Vex was flooded with from T'Mur when she did so was only the starting point. Having made a mental note to apologise to the Vulcan post-battle for Luma's interference.
On reflection of the past few weeks, she wondered whether Luma had now become too friendly and sure of which crewmembers she could easily speak with uninvited had lead to this intrusion of the mind. She'd also asked her to stop talking with Alaya during the mission and return her focus to the task at hand, the counsellor had no need for a blow-by-blow. Luma was able to focus on both, yes, but she, Vex found it irritating to have to keep track of the conversation and everything going on around her in the Bridge. Keeping an ear out in case Sekal passed her an order that needed seeing to.
Once they'd detected the presence of the cloaked ship and the Captain had taken them to warp, Vex allowed herself to relax a little- it was a game afterall, noones lives were actually at risk.
They both watched as the security teams boarded the USS Sisko. Vex & Luma were now the first people who would know if anything went wrong whilst they were aboard, Illuminars sensors wouldn't help them much mid-warp, so the telepathic monitoring Luma was capable of now that they were close enough, would allow Vex to tell the Captain if they'd been succesful in their mission or not.
Raw emotion blasted into her mind from all sides. She hadn't been ready for this. There had been no expectation that enemy forces would use telepathic warriors to try and disable Luma or her. Was this within the rules of the War Game? She didn't think it was within the rules of Starfleet. "Ahh." she mumbled outloud and gripped the armrest of the seat. Closing her mind off would mean shutting out Luma. This was the risk they had to take during battles if Luma was to be as effective as possible, it left Vex exposed, like a raw nerve to the outside world. The world she'd kept at arms length for her entire life.
::Help me Luma to deter the boarders..:: ?
Ariel? What was she... "Ahhhh." gripped the chair harder.
::Make it.. :: she cried out to Luma for help.
::To all those who try to board the Illuminar, feel the pain or war, feel the crippling emotion of fear and loss as you continue this exercise.? Have the pain suffocate you until you are paralyzed in fear.::
Before she could bring up her mental defences, the message seeped through. The lack of intention by Ariel to harm her meant nothing, the pain and fear overcame the once well reasoned mind of Vex'ahlia Jordaan began to fail. Automatic defences that she'd once held onto failed and the ship around her became incredibly loud as she struggled to regain her composure.?
Her entire aim was to open her eyes and when she did the Bridge seemed to be swirling around her, the Captain looked like he was probably saying something important, couldnt have been that important though otherwise she'd be able to hear him. Had the Bridge always been so vibrantly pink? The colour scheme she thought was incredibly vivid and there were strange wiggly lines poking out of the Captain's face. She tried to grab one but her arm went straight through it and she fell forward onto the floor.
(Reply all on Bridge)(Posted by Jono Bradley)
NRPG: Think of Vex in this moment as effectively a Beta-conduit for Luma. She's living entirely within the Lenai, being the voice of the being and not in control of her own mental defences. When another telepath (empath?) unexpectedly overwhelms her it'd be like cutting quite literally into her brain.--

ILLUMINARRPG: (16 - 1424) COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory
From: dieter.gregory1701 at gmail.com (Dieter Gregory)
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2021 21:04:38 -0500
Mission:? Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar, Bridge - COps Lieutenant Dieter Gregory - 14.24)
From his position at operations, Gregory watched over the ship.? He had
let lose programs to monitor the internal sensors and alert him if
non-Illuminar crew made it aboard.
Of course, the bigger concern was the fact that they had the Sisko
within their warp field, and the engines were not rated for this weight
at this speed for long.? Engineering and navigation had their hands full
dealing with the intricacies of this flying.? He noticed lots of spikes
in the computer system.? He wasn't sure where the extra commands were
coming from, so he released his monitoring program, affectionately
called TRON.? Hopefully he'd learn more about them.? He had not noticed
them before, so the game was afoot.? Nor had the Illuminar received any
external signals, at least as much as he could determine.
Since the boarding party has left to capture the Sisko, there had been
sporadic communication from them.? Radio silence was always the hardest
to deal with.? However, he did have a ace up his sleeve.
"Captain," he called, "With your permission, I'd like to release my CLU
program.? If we can find a back door into the Sisko's computers, we can
help our security teams."
(Reply Sekal)
Suddenly SPOTS eyes started rotating colors, and there was the sound of
a thud as a body hit the floor.? "Master, Lieutenant Vex is hurt." the
robot dog called out as it moved over to Vex.? The robot started pushing
his head against her cheek.? "Lieutenant Vex." it started repeating.
Gregory tapped his communicator.? "Bridge to Sickbay.? Medical emergency
on the bridge.? Lieutenant Vex is down from unknown causes."
He grabbed the emergency medical kit from its position and knelt down
next to the Lieutenant.? "Damn, I wish I had paid better attention in
first aid class." he said as he looed at the collection of hyposprays
and medical monitoring equipment.

NRPG - I don't expect CLU to work, but it's worth a try. LOL

Devers was not a jealous man, but he was a man of action.? Right now,
the action was on the Sisko, but he hoped that would change.? Right now,
his role was here, on the bridge.? The last line of defense to hold the
line against the night.? From Thermopylae to the Alamo to Wolf men and
women fought with everything they had to stop the advancing enemies. His
thoughts when back to the story of the Chasseurs Ardennais, 40 men of
the Belgian army held off the advance German Army for 18 days.
While this was not like that day,? with only two security guards and
Ensign T'Mur at tactical, they would defend the bridge, that was sure.
He walked around, pacing like a caged tiger.? For what seemed to be the
100th time, he checked both emergency stairways that they anticipated
the boarding party would use.? It seemed an obvious ploy, but there were
only so many ways onto the bridge, and the other ways were already
secured, forcing their foes to follow a defined path into the 'valley of
death'.
From the command section of the bridge, he heard a body hit the floor
and that little toy of the Chief of Operations make some noises.
As he moved out from behind the bulkhead, he saw the COps kneeling next
to the Engineering Lieutenant, who was laid out on the ground.
His first thought was that the Sisko had some new way to attack the
crew, without showing themselves.? He flipped open his tricorder and
started scanning for residual energy sources that would indicate some
sort of transporter foul play was involved.
Senses heightened, he strained to hear anything out of the ordinary as
the tricorder was showing nothing.

ILLUMINARRPG: Repost (16-1426)- USS Sisko FO, Commander Alex Karnovksyy and SecO- Ensign (jg) Galk, Son of Jos of the House of Kor
From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling)

NRPG: Subject line time incorrect
RPG:
Mission: Decompression
Day 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko- Deck 2 - Corridor -USS Sisko FO, Commander Alex Karnovksyy and
SecO- Ensign (jg) Galk, Son of Jos of the House of Kor ? 1426)
The blow to his face didn't faze the Klingon in the slightest though he
could feel blood well from a split lip. His answering growl wasn't in rage
but in satisfaction. The one he faced was determined to give him a worthy
test. At no time did it leave his mind that he was facing a superior
officer and that he was forbidden to kill but his honor demanded it be
avenged.
Karnovskyy's bluff had been called and the ante raised. The officer had
wisely shown his cards. Now all that remained was to see who would take the
pot.
Galk's lips pulled back from his teeth showing the stain of blood upon
them. His blood ran hot and sang in his veins as he leaped forward and
swung a backfist that grazed his foes head as he spun away. Not a solid,
telling blow but one that Karnovskyy would remember as the bells it caused
in his ears faded.
The human was fast and skilled but Galk was testing him while noting his
style. At the proper time he would close and end the match.
Galk moved lightly on his feet, and gracefully. Karnovskyy could sense the
danger in his movements. He maintained his steady bounce and strong
stance. The last time he fought a Klingon it was for fun. He saw Gortag a
week later and he was still limping, but with a smile on his face. Of
course Sasha did end up with three broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder.
This fight, however, was a little more serious.
He maintained his defensive posture, avoiding most of Galk?s strikes, and
absorbing the ones that he could not. But he could tell that the blows
were not the Klingon?s full strength. The only possible reason was the
Klingon was trying to build in him a false sense of security, before he
attempted to hammer him. If this fight was going to get going he was going
to have to prompt a more explosive reaction. He took a half step back, and
as Galk followed he threw another cross, but it was half hearted as he
followed it up with a massive roundhouse leg kick, and waited for the
response.
The kick connected with Galk' side and he roared and exploded into the
human with a thundering slam of his shoulder to the officers sternum than
sent him reeling away. The Klingon then circled him. He was enjoying this
game of targ and rodent. Galk was indeed faster rather than the lumbering
behemoth the Commander of the USS Sisko had expected and one to approach
with caution. His side stung but it was less than nothing to one who had
traveled the river of blood. Rather it was a reminder of life and the
pursuit of glory.
He hissed as he circled the man then launched an attack. Karnovskyy
redirected the first punch that was aimed at his gut but caught a following
hook to his jaw that spun him around.
The whiplash from the blow hurt Karnovskyy almost as badly as the strike
itself. Momentum as much as self preservation carried him in a spin, and
stars flashed in his eyes. He?d been hit before, but this was a totally
different level. Sasha ducked under the next strike and made a swift step
to the side and a j-step, so that he was facing the left side of the
Klingon. His left immediately went to the jaw, but that was to set up the
recoil and the thundering upward shovel hook that caught Galk just under
his rib cage.
He knew that if he had hit most people with that shot there would have been
more of a reaction than he got from Galk. He almost seemed to enjoy it.
~Damn Klingons.~ He knew he had to press his attack, as the ache of his
surely broken jaw began to throb. A kick to the back of Galk?s knees gave
Sasha the desired reaction as the Kilingon?s legs buckled. A turn of the
hips and he brought his elbow round for a blow to the head.
Galk's knees hit the floor but he twisted his body away into a quick roll
beyond the follow-up attack. As he sprang to his feet there was an unholy
light of delight in his eyes. Yes this human was proving to be a worthy
opponent though his jaw had grown red and was already beginning to swell;
yet he continued to fight.
He used the spring to catapult him into Karnovskyy, his left arm out in a
clothesline attack across his chest that drove him almost to the wall
before he fell upon his back but he used the momentum to roll back onto his
hands and feet in readiness.
Galk then spoke for the first time as he began circling again. "You are a
worthy opponent."
Karnovskyy shook his head and nodded, ?You?re not bad yourself.?
His jaw ached. His chest ached. He was starting to think that his hair was
starting to ache. He could not keep up this level of ferocity much
longer. Still he filled his lungs as much as he could and brought himself
to his full height. His hands came to his face, ready to continue.
Galk's sudden bull-rush carried both into the wall with a resounding crash.
While Karnovskyy was stunned the Klingon lifted him into the air and
turned, holding him by his arms just below the elbows so that the human
couldn't strike at his ears.
Sasha thrashed wildly, fairly certain what was about to happen. His breath
had left him, and he started to pant to try and get oxygen to his brain.
He was unable to reach for any strike that would have any effect. All he
could do was close his eyes, relax his body, and absorb as much of the
impact as possible without passing out.
The Klingon roared as he spun Karnovskyy to a horizontal position then
dropped to his knees. His left leg was behind him, his right knee directly
in the path of the human as he was brought down.
And stopped just above that knee.
Galk then stood to his feet and released the officer then stepped back.
"This contest is over and honor has been satisfied. I place myself into
your custody as an enemy combatant in this exercise."
Karnovskyy had braced himself for the worst, and when it stopped
centimeters from disaster Galk had showed more control than he had appeared
to have. But he did have to admit, the Klingon had won this fight.
?I think,? he replied, straightening himself up and running his hand
tenderly over his swelling jaw, ?that if your honor is satisfied, that we
can dispense with the customary walk to the brig and rejoin you with your
crewmates in the cargo hold.?
His mind finally went to his captain, wondering what she would have
thought, had she seen this, and wondered how she was faring. Hopefully
without anything broken. He slowly walked back to the bridge, stretching
his back, and looking forward to a long ice bath.
Galk placed a hand over his side where he had received the kick, it still
stung and would no doubt ache later. He gave a smile as the transporter
beam took him to be reunited with the boarding team.

RPG:
Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar - Deck 2 - Sisko CO ? Captain Louise Wynn ? 1435)
Not for the first time in the past hour, Louise wondered how Sasha was doing on the Sisko. She loved Sasha like a brother and remember when he opened up about his feelings about Justin Barnes. She never felt that it was a good idea to have a personal relationship with a crewman that they were in command of, but she also knew that one could not control their heart. He was a good man, and fantastic first officer. He had the pulse of the ship in his hand, and seemed to hold a personal connection to every member of the crew. She would hate to see him leave when he got promoted to his own ship, but he had earned it.
Her mind returned to her own position. Her ten up the decks was not without peril, but the decision to go with a small party was the wisest. Granted, with a crew of 40 there wasn?t really many that they could have spared for this mission. On her own she could move faster, blend in better, and had a better chance of success, than if they had an assault team come with her. Her security team was one of the best she?d been with, but they did tend to have a? security mindset.
She recalled when she felt that nagging feeling in the back of her mind and recognized it as psionic manipulation. Louise had a particular talent that was not well known. She did not even know it until she was at the academy and her roommate, a full Betazoid, discovered that she could not ?read? her. She was what was called a psi null. Telepaths could not read her mind, and Betazoids, even the strongest, had trouble reading her feelings from her mind. It was not impossible but required intent.
So when she felt that tickle, and could almost hear the words, ::To all those who try to board the Illuminar, feel the pain or war, feel the crippling emotion of fear and loss as you continue this exercise. Have the pain suffocate you until you are paralyzed in fear.::
It was easy enough to battle this. She had learned early on that anything could be passed on to a telepath, if you truly believed it. The sky could, indeed, be red, if you believed it were red. So all she had to do was to believe that she belonged on the Iluminar. She was not a boarder, but a guest. Perhaps not by request, but a guest nonetheless. The good news was that that belief also allowed her to pass through the hallways almost undetected. The only problem would be if they scanned for a life sign that was not wearing a comm badge.
That was easily resolved as she was able to relieve an Illuminar crewman of their comm badge. She would simply have to hope that they wouldn?t think to call for the officer she had attained the comm badge from. That might become a problem.
She slowly made her way through the levels of the ship until she had arrived at deck two, officers' mess and senior officers? quarters. Throughout her entire voyage she was continually amazed at the sheer size of the ship. It was easy to get used to the close quarters of the Sisko. It did tend to create a bond with the crew. On a ship this size it was easier to pass yourself off as a crewman that they had simply not met, or just did not remember. However, now she was a little stuck. To gain access to the bridge she would have to have a comm badge that would give her access. The mess hall was her best bet.
She had already removed all but one of her pips, showing that she was a simple ensign, before she entered the mess hall. Even thought they were involved in a war game, and were traveling at high warp, with another ship in tow, people still needed to consume food. After all, in the end, they would all have to go back to work as usual. She went to a replicator and ordered a bowl of vegetable soup. What she was about to do was a dirty trick, but it should work. The hard part was picking a mark.
After wandering around the room for a minute she finally found what she needed. There was an ensign who had stopped off for a cup of coffee before delivering PADDs of reports to the bridge. She blithely walked towards the ensign and ?tripped.? As she tripped she spilt her soup on the the ensign?s uniform.
?Oh my,? she cried out, ?I am so sorry. She began to rub the ensign?s uniform with her napkin, in the process exchanging the com badge she had acquired earlier with the new ensign?s.
?Damn it,? the ensign cried out in surprise. Then seeing the other crewman?s concern and attempt to clean up, said, ?Don?t worry about it?? He looked at her questioning.
?Oh, Louise,? was all she replied.
?Yeah, Louise,? son?t worry about it. I?ll just go change before I take these up to the bridge.? He was clearly trying to impress Wynn.
?The bridge? Oh I am so sorry,? giving the ensign the impression he was looking for.
?Don?t worry about,? he said again. ?The captain won?t need these until after these war games anyway. Which by the looks of it should be pretty soon.?
?Why do you say that?? Wynn asked.
?Haven?t you heard,? the ensign replied, ?we have a couple of board teams on the Sisko, so they should be taken care of pretty quickly, and we totally hammered the Protector.?
?Oh my,? Wynn tried to sound impressed. ?I?ll be glad when it?s all over. I?m an explorer, not a warrior.?
The ensign chuckled, ?Yeah, it?s just an exercise. Always best to be prepared for the worst I guess.?
?I guess,? Wynn repeated.
?I?m Mike by the way. Hopefully I?ll see you around,? the ensign said as he made his way to the exit.
?We can live in hope Mike,? Wynn replied as she put the new comm badge on and headed down the hall to the turbo lift.
Moments later she stepped on, making sure she was alone, and called out, ?Main bridge.?
The turbo lift hummed as it started its short trip.
(USS Illuminar - Deck 1- Bridge - Sisko CO ? Captain Louise Wynn ? 1440)
Louise stepped off the turbo lift, looking and feeling as if she belonged. She scanned the bridge and was a quickly able to identify Captain Sekal. He was standing behind the ops station looking over the readings. The only person that seemed to realize that she had walked onto the bridge was a security ensign, and the ensign at the tactical station.
Wynn walked over to the captain with the PADDs in her hands held out. ?Captain Sekal??
(reply Sekal)
Wynn dropped the PADDs to reveal the phaser that she was holding on the bottom. ?Bang, you?re dead Captain. Captain Louise Wynn of the USS Sisko.?

Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar - Deck 2 ?- Sisko CO ? Captain Louise Wynn ? 1435)
Not for the first time in the past hour, Louise wondered how Sasha was doing on the Sisko. ?She loved Sasha like a brother and remember when he opened up about his feelings about Justin Barnes. ?She never felt that it was a good idea to have a personal relationship ?with a crewman that they were in command of, but she also knew that one could not control their heart. ?He was a good man, and fantastic first officer. ?He had the pulse of the ship in his hand, and seemed to hold a personal connection to every member of the crew. ?She would hate to see him leave when he got promoted to his own ship, but he had earned it.
Her mind returned to her own position. ?Her ten up the decks was not without peril, but the decision to go with a small party was the wisest. ?Granted, with a crew of 40 there wasn?t really many that they could have spared for this mission. ?On her own she could move faster, blend in better, and had a better chance of success, than if they had an assault team come with her. ?Her security team was one of the best she?d been with, but they did tend to have a? security mindset.
She recalled when she felt that nagging feeling in the back of her mind and recognized it as psionic manipulation. ?Louise had a particular talent that was not well known. ?She did not even know it until she was at the academy and her roommate, a full Betazoid, discovered that she could not ?read? her. ?She was what was called a psi null. ?Telepaths could not read her mind, and Betazoids, even the strongest, had trouble reading her feelings from her mind. ?It was not impossible but required intent.
So when she felt that tickle, and could almost hear the words,?::To all those who try to board the Illuminar, feel the pain or war, feel the crippling emotion of fear and loss as you continue this exercise.? Have the pain suffocate you until you are paralyzed in fear.::
It was easy enough to battle this. ?She had learned?early on that anything could be passed on to a telepath, if you?truly believed it. ?The sky could, indeed, be red, if you believed it were red. ?So all she?had to do was to believe that she belonged on the Iluminar. ?She was not a boarder, but a guest. ?Perhaps not by request, but a guest nonetheless. ?The good news was that that belief also allowed her to pass through the hallways almost undetected. ?The only problem would be if they scanned for a life sign that was not wearing a comm badge. ?
That was easily resolved as she was able to relieve an Illuminar crewman of their comm badge. ?She would simply have to hope that they wouldn?t think to call for the officer she had attained the comm badge from. ?That might become a problem.
She slowly made her way through the levels of the ship until she had arrived at deck two, officers' mess and senior officers? quarters. ?Throughout her entire voyage she was continually amazed at the sheer size of the ship. ?It was easy to get used to the close quarters of the Sisko. ?It did tend to create a?bond with the crew. ?On a ship this size it was easier to pass yourself off as a crewman that they had simply not met, or just did not remember. ?However, now she was a little stuck. ?To gain access to the bridge she would have to have a comm badge that would give her access. ?The mess hall was her best bet. ?
She had already removed all but one of her pips, showing that she was a simple ensign, before she entered the mess hall. ?Even thought they?were involved in a war game, and were traveling at high warp, with another ship in tow, people still needed to consume food. ?After all, in the end, they would all have to go back to work as usual. ?She went to a replicator and ordered a bowl of vegetable soup. ?What she was about to do was a dirty trick, but it should work. ?The hard part was?picking a mark.
After wandering around the room for a minute she finally found what she needed. ?There was an ensign who had stopped off for a cup of coffee before delivering PADDs of reports to the bridge. ?She blithely walked towards the ensign and??tripped.? ?As she tripped she spilt her soup on the the?ensign?s uniform. ?
?Oh my,? she cried out,??I am so sorry. ?She began?to rub the ensign?s uniform with her napkin, in the process exchanging the com badge she had?acquired earlier with the new ensign?s.
?Damn it,? the ensign cried out in surprise. ?Then seeing the?other crewman?s concern and attempt to clean up, said,??Don?t worry about it?? He looked at her questioning.
?Oh, Louise,? was all she replied.
?Yeah, Louise,? son?t worry about it. ?I?ll just go change before?I take these up to the bridge.? ?He was clearly trying to impress Wynn. ?
?The bridge? ?Oh?I am so sorry,??giving the ensign the impression he was looking for.
?Don?t worry about,? he said again. ??The captain won?t need these until after these war games anyway. ?Which by the looks of it should be pretty soon.?
?Why do you say that?? Wynn asked.
?Haven?t you heard,? the ensign replied,??we have a couple of board teams on the Sisko, so they should be taken care of pretty quickly, and we totally hammered the Protector.?
?Oh my,? Wynn tried to sound impressed. ??I?ll be glad when it?s all over. ?I?m an?explorer, not a warrior.?
The ensign chuckled, ?Yeah, it?s just an exercise. ?Always best to be prepared for the worst I guess.?
?I guess,? Wynn repeated.?
?I?m Mike by the way. ?Hopefully I?ll see you around,? the ensign said as he made his way to the exit.
?We can live in hope Mike,? Wynn replied as she put the new comm badge on and headed down the hall to the turbo lift.
Moments later she stepped on, making sure she was alone, and called out, ?Main bridge.?
The turbo lift hummed as it started its short trip.
(USS Illuminar - Deck 1- Bridge ?- Sisko CO ? Captain Louise Wynn ? 1440)
Louise stepped off the?turbo lift, looking and feeling as if she belonged. ?She scanned the bridge and?was a quickly able to identify?Captain Sekal. ?He was standing behind the ops station looking over the readings. ?The only person that seemed to realize that she had walked onto the bridge was a security ensign, and the ensign at the tactical station. ?
Wynn walked over to the captain with the PADDs in her hands held out. ??Captain Sekal??
(reply Sekal)
Wynn dropped the PADDs to reveal the phaser that she was holding on the bottom. ??Bang, you?re dead Captain. ?Captain Louise Wynn of the USS Sisko.?

Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Illuminar- Deck 14 ? Security office. Assistant Chief of Security Ensign Keung Lee - 1530)
Keung starred thoughtfully at one of the monitors in the Security Monitoring Centre as he watched the activities of the USS Protector. He wondered what their security people would be doing, What preparations have they prepared? Alpha and Beta boarding team at this moment was conducting boarding simulations in the Holosuite. Keung?s team of instructors had designed holo programs of the desk plans of USS Hamilton and USS Protector. The focus on these simulations was speed and agility with minimum interaction with the defenders on board the ships. Priority to capture and secure Engineering and the Bridge. Capture the Captain, Ist and 2nd Officers. This is exactly what the boarding teams of both Protector and Hamilton would be doing. Keung had considered equipping the boarding teams with the Battle suits but after reading the evaluation reports decided against them. The use of the Battle suits were not very effective in close confined spaces like the passageways of the ships. The battle suits were not particularly useful for close quarter and hand to hand combat.
Apart from the two armed Security Officers who were allocated sentry duty on the bridge, Keung had placed two other security officers outside the entrance who were patrolling the corridor. They would changed at every shift.
On the other monitors, Keung could see the Beta shift security guards scattered throughout the ship patrolling the decks. Everyone of them armed with hand phasers and some with phaser rifles, The Armoury was secured and in lockdown. The Brig was currently empty. Any captured intruders would be beamed straight to the Brig instead of being escorted there leaving the Security Officers to be engaged with the enemy. He manage to convince the Klingons and Andorian Security officers to avoid using bladed weapons..it was a war game..simulation..something that they could not grasped. Something about ?not being honourable.? They were ready as they could be. Keung decided it was time to go on a walkabout

ILLUMINARRPG: (16 -1419.5) EngO Ens (jg) Tycho Alantar
From: loriwinterhoff at gmail.com (Lorenz Winterhoff)
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2021 23:14:52 -0800
Mission: Decompression
Day: 16
Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko - Jefferies Tube, Deck 2 - Engineer Ens (jg) Tycho Alantar - 1419.5)
Tycho was still digging, trying to find something that would turn off
those damned fields. If he couldn't find that, any other fun things
they cooked up were practically worthless. He'd set the trigger for
Rodrigo's find to go through the system as soon as gravity on the
bridge was cut, then had gone back to the search for force field
emitter power. Every ship was the same, out of the shipyards, but once
they'd been in open water so to speak, they became unique creatures
with the individual print of the crew who worked her, one meter of
difference when replacing wiring in one location had a ripple effect
over time, and it made finding things without a guide frustrating to
say the least
He thought he saw something and was reaching it when the whine of
transport started. Eyes popping wide he shouted, "OH NO YOU DON'T!"
while his hands reacted faster than normally one would think possible
on a conscious level. They practically flew, grabbing his multitool in
one hand and the gravity plug with the other, yanking just before he
went incorporeal in the transport stream, or at least, so he hoped.
(Reply Bridge with your coin flip on that ;P )
(USS Sisko - Cargo Bay, Deck 3 - Engineer Ens (jg) Tycho Alantar - 1420.5)
Tycho rematerialized holding his multitool, and nothing but air in the
shape of the plug to the gravity generator. ~Doesn't mean I missed,
just that the plug stayed behind. I swear it moved in my hand.~
Even with his thoughts on the gravity line, his body moved with fluid
skill, short legs immediately dashed him to the nearest cover as he
swapped his tools into pockets while pulling out a phaser and loosing
his blade in its sheath. It was a sharp blade normally, but he'd made
a replica out of a safe material for combat sims, and it was
specifically not a normal colour composition for such a blade. It was
more like the Nerf gun of d'k tahg. The true blade was under lock and
key in his personal possessions locker, a cherished prize from his
youth competing in tournaments on all sides of the Romulan, Klingon,
Federation boundaries. Galk might balk at the copycat weapon, his
Klingon honour potentially offended by the desecration of an honorable
weapon perhaps, but he'd get back from the compact Tycho, and
hopefully that would be enough for him to get a chance sing the songs
of how he won the origin of this 'toy' blade.
In any case, it was deemed sparring safe for the purposes of training
exercises. He left it in the sheath, but opened the top fastening, so
it could be drawn quickly in the event of hand to hand combat. A
natural born fighter and trained in Fleet protocol, as well as many
years of melee combat study in multiple styles, Tycho - once he'd
secured his non-combat kit items - turned his attention to his
superior in the scenario and waited for instruction; low tuned phaser
in one hand, the other hand ready for the blade, but also helping his
teammates to pull behind back behind cover.

NRPG: OK I hope I didn't step on any toes here. Figured a transition
post with an open end was best, and the team lead can then have the
main timestamp 1421 immediately after.
Also, I'm assuming Tycho got permission for his pretend d'k tahg at
some point while Galk wasn't around. To be clear, Tycho has a real one
in storage, this one is the equivalent of a modern day plastic 3D
printed one, just better replication tech, so the handle is mostly
black, with silver accents, no house seal on this one though, he
wouldn't temp fate that much! But the blade is a purple plastic like
material that looks sharp but won't cut.

Stardate: 2445.10.12
(USS Sisko- Deck 2 - Corridor -USS Sisko FO, Commander Alex Karnovksyy and
SecO- Ensign (jg) Galk, Son of Jos of the House of Kor ? 1426)
The blow to his face didn't faze the Klingon in the slightest though he
could feel blood well from a split lip. His answering growl wasn't in rage
but in satisfaction. The one he faced was determined to give him a worthy
test. At no time did it leave his mind that he was facing a superior
officer and that he was forbidden to kill but his honor demanded it be
avenged.
Karnovskyy's bluff had been called and the ante raised. The officer had
wisely shown his cards. Now all that remained was to see who would take the
pot.
Galk's lips pulled back from his teeth showing the stain of blood upon
them. His blood ran hot and sang in his veins as he leaped forward and
swung a backfist that grazed his foes head as he spun away. Not a solid,
telling blow but one that Karnovskyy would remember as the bells it caused
in his ears faded.
The human was fast and skilled but Galk was testing him while noting his
style. At the proper time he would close and end the match.
Galk moved lightly on his feet, and gracefully. Karnovskyy could sense the
danger in his movements. He maintained his steady bounce and strong
stance. The last time he fought a Klingon it was for fun. He saw Gortag a
week later and he was still limping, but with a smile on his face. Of
course Sasha did end up with three broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder.
This fight, however, was a little more serious.
He maintained his defensive posture, avoiding most of Galk?s strikes, and
absorbing the ones that he could not. But he could tell that the blows
were not the Klingon?s full strength. The only possible reason was the
Klingon was trying to build in him a false sense of security, before he
attempted to hammer him. If this fight was going to get going he was going
to have to prompt a more explosive reaction. He took a half step back, and
as Galk followed he threw another cross, but it was half hearted as he
followed it up with a massive roundhouse leg kick, and waited for the
response.
The kick connected with Galk' side and he roared and exploded into the
human with a thundering slam of his shoulder to the officers sternum than
sent him reeling away. The Klingon then circled him. He was enjoying this
game of targ and rodent. Galk was indeed faster rather than the lumbering
behemoth the Commander of the USS Sisko had expected and one to approach
with caution. His side stung but it was less than nothing to one who had
traveled the river of blood. Rather it was a reminder of life and the
pursuit of glory.
He hissed as he circled the man then launched an attack. Karnovskyy
redirected the first punch that was aimed at his gut but caught a following
hook to his jaw that spun him around.
The whiplash from the blow hurt Karnovskyy almost as badly as the strike
itself. Momentum as much as self preservation carried him in a spin, and
stars flashed in his eyes. He?d been hit before, but this was a totally
different level. Sasha ducked under the next strike and made a swift step
to the side and a j-step, so that he was facing the left side of the
Klingon. His left immediately went to the jaw, but that was to set up the
recoil and the thundering upward shovel hook that caught Galk just under
his rib cage.
He knew that if he had hit most people with that shot there would have been
more of a reaction than he got from Galk. He almost seemed to enjoy it.
~Damn Klingons.~ He knew he had to press his attack, as the ache of his
surely broken jaw began to throb. A kick to the back of Galk?s knees gave
Sasha the desired reaction as the Kilingon?s legs buckled. A turn of the
hips and he brought his elbow round for a blow to the head.
Galk's knees hit the floor but he twisted his body away into a quick roll
beyond the follow-up attack. As he sprang to his feet there was an unholy
light of delight in his eyes. Yes this human was proving to be a worthy
opponent though his jaw had grown red and was already beginning to swell;
yet he continued to fight.
He used the spring to catapult him into Karnovskyy, his left arm out in a
clothesline attack across his chest that drove him almost to the wall
before he fell upon his back but he used the momentum to roll back onto his
hands and feet in readiness.
Galk then spoke for the first time as he began circling again. "You are a
worthy opponent."
Karnovskyy shook his head and nodded, ?You?re not bad yourself.?
His jaw ached. His chest ached. He was starting to think that his hair was
starting to ache. He could not keep up this level of ferocity much
longer. Still he filled his lungs as much as he could and brought himself
to his full height. His hands came to his face, ready to continue.
Galk's sudden bull-rush carried both into the wall with a resounding crash.
While Karnovskyy was stunned the Klingon lifted him into the air and
turned, holding him by his arms just below the elbows so that the human
couldn't strike at his ears.
Sasha thrashed wildly, fairly certain what was about to happen. His breath
had left him, and he started to pant to try and get oxygen to his brain.
He was unable to reach for any strike that would have any effect. All he
could do was close his eyes, relax his body, and absorb as much of the
impact as possible without passing out.
The Klingon roared as he spun Karnovskyy to a horizontal position then
dropped to his knees. His left leg was behind him, his right knee directly
in the path of the human as he was brought down.
And stopped just above that knee.
Galk then stood to his feet and released the officer then stepped back.
"This contest is over and honor has been satisfied. I place myself into
your custody as an enemy combatant in this exercise."
Karnovskyy had braced himself for the worst, and when it stopped
centimeters from disaster Galk had showed more control than he had appeared
to have. But he did have to admit, the Klingon had won this fight.
?I think,? he replied, straightening himself up and running his hand
tenderly over his swelling jaw, ?that if your honor is satisfied, that we
can dispense with the customary walk to the brig and rejoin you with your
crewmates in the cargo hold.?
His mind finally went to his captain, wondering what she would have
thought, had she seen this, and wondered how she was faring. Hopefully
without anything broken. He slowly walked back to the bridge, stretching
his back, and looking forward to a long ice bath.
Galk placed a hand over his side where he had received the kick, it still
stung and would no doubt ache later. He gave a smile as the transporter
beam took him to be reunited with the boarding team.

(USS Illuminar- Deck 1- Bridge- CSO Lieutenant (jg) Jaton Alyl - 0805)
Jaton was monitoring the readouts from the Astrometrics lab, making sure
the course ahead was clear and scanning for the Sharlayan ship. He took a
sip of the cup of tea next to him, and nearly spit it out all over his
monitor as he saw what was coming up ahead. The proximity alarm then began
to sound.
"Captain, you need to take us out of warm now. We're right on top of a
massive debris field. We're not going to be able to avoid an impact at this
speed."
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf take us out of warp and prepare for evasive
maneuvers."
"Aye sir."
The starfield stabilized as the ship returned to normal space and Tempest
fired the impulse engines then began maneuvering the ship through a debris
field.
"Shields up."
?Shields up captain,? she echoed.
The debris was not marked on interstellar maps but this area of space was
also largely untraveled though not unexplored and such a navigational
hazard could have been recently introduced.
"Lieutenant Alyl scan the debris field and route the location and expanse
to Starfleet command."
"Aye sir." He sent the orders onto the Astrometrics lab, to get as much out
of the sensors as he could.
T'Mur turned to Lt. Alyl, ?Lieutenant Alyl, I am sending you some some data
from the scans of the debris. Hopefully you can make some sense of it.
Some of the materials I am unfamiliar with.?
Jaton squinted at the data. "Some strange concentrations of heavy metals,
many of which don't seem to be naturally occurring. This could be from the
ship."
"Shields down, return to normal operations."
(Reply: Any)
Sekal then turned to the science station. "The Sharlayan ship should be
within sensor range. Do you have a target?"
"Not yet, but we do have some metal concentrations that don't match the
rest of the debris field. Could be from the ship if it came through and
collided with one of the asteroids."
"Long range scans Lieutenant in a 180? arc. Find that ship."
"Aye sir." Jaton turned back to the sensors and programmed in the sensor
sweep. After a few minutes, he turned back to the captain. "I think I have
it. Bearing 146 mark 75. Range approximately 500 AU. Those metal deposits
seem to be leading to that spot."
"Lieutenant Grey Wolf plot a course to intercept the Sharlayan ships course
then follow it back. Full impulse."
"Yes sir. Plotting course now." Tempest brought the plot up quickly and
fired the engines to their capped maximum.
"Mister Gregory monitor em bands. The Sharlayan ship uses radio
transmissions, if they are sending out a signal you will pick it up there."
(Reply: Gregory)
Sekal's head snapped around. "On audio Lieutenant."
(Reply: Gregory)
The signal was weak but strengthened as Lieutenant Gregory made
adjustments. It took only a few seconds before the universal translator
kicked in.
=^= .... off course. If any are available to help we request your
assistance. Repeat. This is the Admiral speaking. Our navigational
equipment is failing and our people are on the verge of starvation. Our
ship is off course. If any are available to help we request assistance.=^=
The message was on a loop and repeating itself.
"Isolate that signal and send it to navigation. Lieutenant Grey Wolf when
you have a course plotted go immediately to warp 3."

T?Mur continued to work with McTaggard, looking at their tricorder readings, and then having short discussions. Even though cryptology might not have been her area of expertise, she was able to make some good educated guesses at what things appeared to be. It was a wonderfully human ability to make huge leaps of logic without have all of the facts, and adding in what they believe to be correct inferences.
And to be honest, T?Mur was enjoying the woman?s lilting voice. It was as if she were speaking a completely different language, using colloquialisms that T'Mur had never heard before. It was a very colorful vocabulary, and she had to wonder how much of it was appropriate as the science officer often spoke to herself in a quiet voice that her Vulcan ears barely picked up.
As T?Mur was scanning a panel there was a beep that caught her attention. ?Ensign McTaggard, what do you think. It seems to me that this panel is a data transfer conduit.?
(reply McTaggard)
T?Mur made a few adjustments and began to interface her tricorder with the panel. Suddenly the device began to fill with the ships data. Her eyes went through the symbols as the tricorder continued to record. Then she recognized a symbol and isolated it. She turned to Greggory.
?Lieutenant, I believe that I have located a map of this ship,? she called. ?And there appears to be a secondary entrance into the lower levels? right ? here.?
Pushing a button on the panel she had been scanning there was a sound of pneumatics again and a second hole in the wall appeared with a groan of unused metal. Lights flickered and what appeared to be another stair well was lit up.

down there, Ms. McTaggard, scan for biologics.Ms. T?Mur, using your map,
see if we can integrate what you?ve found with what Ensigns Matrix and
Alantar.See if you can identify navigation and engineering sections.?
?Ensign Alantar, any more progress on that panel?Mr. Matrix, those
sensors, anything else we can tell about them?Can you tap into them??
?Let?s get some information together before we go jaunting around this
ship.?

Gregory?s eyes shined with delight as the door opened to reveal the passage way. He spoke quickly and somewhat excitedly.
"OK team, lets re-group. Before we go down there, Ms. McTaggard, scan for biologics. Ms. T?Mur, using your map, see if we can integrate what you?ve found with what Ensigns Matrix and Alantar. See if you can identify navigation and engineering sections.?
Immediately T?Mur moved over the Matrix and Plantar and began downloading the information that they had from their scans. Between the three sets of readings, four if you include Penny?s, T?Mur was beginning to see a pattern evolving on the Sharlayan written language. She was starting to recognized symbols and make connections to the systems that they had been scanning.
Gregory called over to check on Plantar?s and Matrix?s progress in deciphering the sensor readings, but without the primer for translation it would be doubtful that they would be able to make much more headway than they already had.
"Let?s get some information together before we go jaunting around this ship,? Gregory commanded.
?I believe,? T?Mur started, ?that I will soon have a rudimentary understanding of they Sharlayan written language soon. I recognize many of the symbols and note that the language base seems to be consistent with several other languages that I have come in contact with over the years. I can download this data and my ? hypotheses of the language to my UT I believe that I can have a reasonable idea of where things are in the ship.?
With that being said her tricorder pinged, and display reformatted to show the map, and most of the Sharlayan words were replaced by Federation Standard language.
?it seems that this entrance does not take us directly to an engineering section, however, the path to it appears to be more expeditious than the path the captain has taken.?
(reply Gregory, anyone else in the party)

Penny was still in a daze. So she was a bit slow off the mark when T?Mur asked her to look at the symbols. Mc Taggard needed transition time. To get used being in science. Before having to do anything with her brain.
As T?Mur was scanning a panel there was a beep that caught her attention. ?Ensign McTaggard, what do you think. It seems to me that this panel is a data transfer conduit.?
? Aye that it may be. But there be these wee symbols here at the bottom. They look more like late Sharlayan modern script to me.? She replied softly. After she said it Penny realised she may of been wrong over the age of the symbols. Hopefully her colleague T?Mur would correct her mistake. But just the same something about the symbols worried her.
Penny moved her head closer to the panel. So her nose was almost touching.she did not hear the rest of the sounds around her. Until a voice made her jump.
Looking up she was alarmed to see the opening before them.
"OK team, lets re-group. Before we go down there, Ms. McTaggard, scan for biologics. Ms. T?Mur, using your map, see if we can integrate what you?ve found with what Ensigns Matrix and Alantar. See if you can identify navigation and engineering sections.?
As if on que Penny pulled out her tricorder and scanned.
? I was looking at the wee symbols on the panel at the bottom there. They are much younger then the rest. It looks like some kind of warning. Och For some reason this scanner is nay working very well. There must be a natural dampening field down there. I kinna scan anything.? Penny warned
( Reply , Away team 2 )
? It?s nay good. Tis like the wee scans are a being bounced back.? She said shaking her head.

T?Mur was still thinking about McTaggard?s comment about how the symbol?s on the panel were ?younger than the rest?. Not the most accurate of statement but she got the idea. Those symbols did seem to have been added much later than the others.
"Och For some reason this scanner is nay working very well? McTaggard continued. "There must be a natural dampening field down there. I kinna scan anything.?
T?Mur turned to cover the same area as McTaggard with the same result. ?I concur. Our scans do not penetrate the dampening effect. It is not a generated field though. Something is blocking our scans.?
She wandered around the room and moved back to the new entrance.
?What ever is blocking the scans, it is down there,? she said with an air of finality. ?There is only one way to find out what it is.?

Gregory- 1233.5)
Gregory listened as Ensigns McTaggard and T?Mur talked about symbols.He
grew concerned when they raised the issue that they could not get
scanner readings from the tunnel.It was further disturbing that it
appeared to be something other than a dampening field.
There could be several reasons for that.Speaking out loud, ?Why would
that be?If it is not a generated field, it would suggest something more
primitive, but effective.Initial scans of the asteroid didn?t reveal
anything unusual and I don?t recall anything from the briefing or first
contact reports that would suggest anything unusual.?
Pulling up the map that T?Mur has worked out, ?Engineering is down that
way, and the Captain was heading in that direction.Let?s take this
pathway and meet up with team 1 there.Everyone keep their eyes and ears
open, as it looks like our scanners may not be effective.?
Pausing, he pointed to two of the security guards, ?Please take
point.Ms. T?Mur, you are with me.Ms. Taggard, you pair up with Mr. Matrix.?
(Sharlayan Generation Ship- Airlock Building- ?COps Lieutenant Dieter
Gregory- 1240.5)
Slowly the away team moved forward down into the passageway that should
lead to the Engineering spaces. The tunnel was rough hewn.There was a
layer of dust suggesting it had not been used for many years.I wondered
how long it took these people to hollow out and build the generation ship.
?Ensign T?Mur how far to the Engineering space??He asked.?Ms. McTaggard,
are you picking up anything biological now??
