Mission:  Death in the Shadows
Day: 5
Stardate:2446.02.05

(USS Illuminar-- Deck 1 --  Ready Room -- CO -- Captain Sekal -- 1130)

"Captain's log stardate twenty four, forty six, zero two, zero five. The
events of the preceding three days unfolded quickly after the murder
attempt on my person by crewman Sanchez. While I was in the healing trance
the ship received a distress call by the Freighter Edmund Fitzgerald.

 Commander Verin who had assumed command due to my incapacitation responded
to the distress call to find the ship beset by three pirate vessels of
Orion origin and being manned by predominantly Orion crews.

Commander Verin made the correct call in engaging the enemy in order to
save what remained of its crew. Four surviving crewmen were subsequently
recovered. Lieutenant Gregory also performed admirably.

During the battle the enemy used missiles of unknown alien origin against
the ship. One penetrated our shields and caused severe damage. One marauder
ship was destroyed in the battle, one captured and the third fled the
field. Two of those missiles were recovered from the captured ship and are
being studied, one of which is being sent back to Mars for official study
via the USS Protector which arrived later on the scene in support. The
Protector will also be towing the freighter back to Mars for repairs and to
deliver the materials earmarked for use in the Fleet expansion effort.

Lieutenant Alyl was injured during the battle and is in a coma. Crewmen
Sanchez was poisoned after capture and has expired but not before our chief
medical officer extracted possibly vital information from him.

Ship repairs are almost completed due to assistance from the Protector and
Commander Nesmith. We will be enroute to Sigma Draconis six in
approximately two point five hours where we expect to find the source of
these new weapons and shut it down.

Roanoke is active amongst the crew and in the Fleet. It is to be hoped that
the evidence we tentatively expect to find in orbit around Altair six will
unmask those who are hiding amongst us. In the meanwhile the StarFleet
Intelligence agent aboard will be attempting to uncover those in our
immediate midst.

The new officers are settling in effectively and in the event of my loss I
know Illuminar is in capable hands.

End log."
