Simulation Forum USS Excalibur / excalibur USS Excalibur - Sundays 10:30 ET - Command Staff: (CO) Cptn Swain, (XO) CdrMirandaHawthorne Between 9/6/2026 9:34 PM and 9/6/2026 10:35 PM Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:34 PM MISSION BRIEF: Excalibur is about to have company in the form a Cardassian border security inspection team. They have asked to inspect our cargo as, per treaty, we are carrying sensitive technological items. 9:34 PM Questions, concerns? Comments? We don't have comment cards anymore. Last time we did I had to, uh, dispose of somsone but you know. Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 9:35 PM Are they coming by transporter or shuttle? Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:35 PM Transporter 1 COMPUTER BOT 9/6/2026 9:36 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== 9:36 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== 9:36 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== Cptn Swain Questions, concerns? Comments? We don't have comment cards anymore. Last time we did I had to, uh, dispose of somsone but you know. William Chocox 9/6/2026 9:37 PM (( I always wondered what happened to Tandaris. )) CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 9:38 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Waiting in the transporter room with the security team:: Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:38 PM On the bridge, making a cup of tea at the replicator. Helm, keep an eye on the Cardassians and have evasives ready to go. It's not that I don't, personally, trust them but that Glinn did seems a little big for his britches. Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 9:39 PM Wade is part of that team William Chocox 9/6/2026 9:39 PM William was still on the bridge. “He’s not suicidal, is he?” Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:40 PM ACTION> The transporter whirs with new effects because we haven't been using enough of or FX budget apparently. Five Cardassian officers in their new, much less uh, weird uniforms beam aboard. They all look to be young. Emek, the commanding officer is among them. CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 9:41 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Welcome aboard. ::He nodded to the newcomers:: I'm Commander Stanton. Irene Mincine 9/6/2026 9:41 PM “You don’t actually think they’d start shooting with that… thing, Cap?” Val at the helm looks back at the big chair. Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:42 PM I would hope not. 9:43 PM Emek> Looks over the Commander Commander. Please show us the way to your cargo holds. CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 9:43 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Of course. This way, please. ::gestures to the door and leads the way:: Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 9:44 PM Wade signals the security team to fall in behind. CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 9:44 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Is there any particular cargo you'd like to see first? Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:45 PM Emek> All of the cargo marked on this list hands Jalen a data pad These are treaty resitricted items, as I am sure you know. Irene Mincine 9/6/2026 9:45 PM Since it’s science equipment, Irene is down in the cargo bay ready to make sure the Cardassians don’t break anything. Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:45 PM I am more concerned, to be honest, about them thinking they're going to seize Federation property. William Chocox 9/6/2026 9:46 PM "That's fair. Do we have any legal experts on board?" Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:46 PM Where's a Joy unit when you need one. CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 9:46 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Of course. We have the list, as well. ::holding the lift for them:: Irene Mincine 9/6/2026 9:48 PM Val> “What would Cardassians want with equipment for cataloguing gaseous anomalies or whatever the hell’s down there?” William Chocox 9/6/2026 9:49 PM “Sell it?” Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:50 PM Or simply stick it to the Federation. After, what, a decade of more or less an occupation, the younger people aren't as excited about the status quo. William Chocox 9/6/2026 9:51 PM “I mean, none of us would be too happy if our home worlds were occupied.” Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:51 PM Emek>. Good lead the way. Glances to his colleagues We will need to visually inspect, and per regulations, holoimage all items on that list to assure they are in compliance. I hope you understand that I mean nothing personal by this, but as I am sure you can underatand, the Cardassian Republic must take all care. Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 9:52 PM Wade barely restrains himself from rolling his eyes. Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:52 PM Clark> None of us sold out the whole Alpha Quadrant and only switched sides when it was clear we'd lost. 9:53 PM Gives a sharp look to Clark. He wasn't wrong though,. William Chocox 9/6/2026 9:53 PM “And if your father had done so?” CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 9:53 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Naturally. You have our flight plans, as well, and know we are only traveling through. ::glances at them as they step out, heading into the cargo bay:: Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 9:54 PM Clark> My dad died at Second Chintoka. 9:54 PM Emek> To a former holding of the Cardassians, as I understand it, yes?

You were off already weren't you? 9:58 PM Clark> Flushes Yes, Captain. 9:58 PM Good. 9:59 PM Emek> Nods to his underlings to begin the inspection So, Commander, how long have you been in the Starfleet? Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:00 PM Wade's colleagues shadow the Cardassians to make sure they don't do anything they aren't supposed to do. Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:00 PM Looks over to Will after Clark leaves 10:00 PM Cardassian2> Picks upa box and looks to Irene This has a security seal on it. Please open it. CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 10:00 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::smiles thinly:: A while. And you? How long have you served?

Lot of people have strong feelings, still. 10:02 PM Val, how much longer do we have in Cardassian space? Irene Mincine 9/6/2026 10:04 PM Val> "Uh... considering we're not moving right now..." CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 10:05 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Many of us did, given the state of things back then. Irene Mincine 9/6/2026 10:05 PM Irene is trying her hardest not to look like she'd rather be doing anything else right now. "All right." She removes the security seal on the box. "Hope you like noble gases." CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 10:06 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::glances at the Cardassian team and the crates they're inspecting:: Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:08 PM Wade is watching the whole proceeding like some kind of space hawk Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:11 PM Cardassian2> Hmm, this item says it is a Type 7 Class B Scanner on your manifest, but this is clearly a class C. 10:11 PM Emek> Standing stone faced Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:12 PM Wade moves over "Hand that to me please." 10:13 PM Wade checks to see if the Cardassian is in fact correct William Chocox 9/6/2026 10:14 PM “Well, Val, once we get going again, how long are we going to be in Cardassian space?” Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:14 PM Cardassian2> Does so, confidently because there's a big ass label on the actual item Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:15 PM to Stanton "He's right, sir." CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 10:15 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> We'll make a note of it and correct any errors. Mincine, if you will. Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:15 PM Hands the scanner to Mincine 10:15 PM "Hmm" 10:16 PM Wade checks his padd for the appearance of such a scanner to make sure the one they're handling isn't mislabeled. Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:16 PM Emek> Technically, we have the right to confiscate it, but that seems reasonable. 10:17 PM Emek> As I told you Commander, I am simply doing due diligence. Irene Mincine 9/6/2026 10:17 PM Irene> "They're the same thing. It's got a different sticker on top and an extra button..." CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 10:17 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> And your grace is appreciated. ::nods:: Irene Mincine 9/6/2026 10:18 PM Val> "At warp 7, we'll clear Cardassian space in 36 hours." Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:18 PM Cardassian3> Returns to the group with a frown 10:19 PM Emek> Looks over Yes? 10:19 PM C3> I believe we have a problem, and not one the, Federation intended to create, sir. Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:20 PM "Logistics on the stations really needs to tighten up." Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:20 PM Emek> Looks over to Stanton, then to the non-descript uncredited actor Well? CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 10:21 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::raises an eyebrow:: Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:21 PM C3> There is a box labeled as containing isoliner data chips, per their manifest, but I beleive it contains an explosive. 10:22 PM C3> Hands Emek his scanner Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:22 PM The padd snaps in half in Wade's hands. 10:22 PM "Which one?" CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 10:23 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::He frowned:: That seems unlikely. We do have several shipments of iso chips as we were low. But explosives? 10:23 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> I'd hate to think they were mislabeled. Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:23 PM Emek> Frowns See for yourself. This does look like an explosive device. 10:24 PM Emek> Does not seem particularly surprised by this turn of events. William Chocox 9/6/2026 10:24 PM ((Not mine this time.) Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:24 PM "I recommend we raise force fields around the container in question." Irene Mincine 9/6/2026 10:25 PM Irene> "There should be some blasting caps for geology studies, but they're all accounted for..." Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:26 PM Emek> This appears to be an, improvised, explosive device. Not simply mislabeled cargo. CdrMirandaHawthorne 9/6/2026 10:26 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Jericho! (edited) Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:26 PM "Aye sir!" Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:26 PM Emek> His tone was surprisngly flat.

Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:28 PM to a nearby Cardassian "Does this happen a lot for you guys?" William Chocox 9/6/2026 10:29 PM Chocox taps away at his console. “No idea what’s going on, but forcefield active.” Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:29 PM Emek> Shrugs Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:30 PM +to Bridge+ "We have unregistered hazardous materials in the cargo bay. Working on it now." William Chocox 9/6/2026 10:30 PM “And would I be so daft as to leave something where they could find it?” Cptn Swain 9/6/2026 10:30 PM I would hope not. Wade Jericho 9/6/2026 10:31 PM getting himself into the costume department's idea of a futuristic EOD suit Irene Mincine 9/6/2026 10:31 PM Val> "Shouldn't the internal scanners have caught an unregistered hazardous material?"

8/31/2026 9:03 PM U.S.S. MANTICORE BRIEFING #1379 STARDATE 52608.31 Manticore remains docked at Starbase REDACTED enduring extensive repairs. Meanwhile, two teams have been sent out on crucial missions. Bren, Annika and Pilot have been sent to a civilian research base where they will attempt to retrieve Bren's stolen Ketracel White data. Upon arrival they noticed how eerily empty the facility is. But the amenities are 5-star! Angela Reed has presented Bren with the job of... finishing his own research. While Bren worked, Annika searched through the computer and discovered some unsettling work derived from Bren's original research. They completed their mission of destroying all the stolen data, or so they thought. Upon their escape they were captured by Reed only to learn she knew who they were all along. She took Bren aside to make him an interesting offer. He was asked to make a bioweapon which he was assured would only be used as a deterrent. Hoping for the best, Bren took the offer where he was compensated with some interesting information. The first of which needs to be acted on immediately as Starbase REDACTED is under attack. -- Faldek, Harnett and Kansas have been sent to a secret Section 31 station as they attempt to snuff out potential spies within the organization. Faldek and Harnett met with the station commander, Captain Kellerman, who would be working with them to find the spies. Through their investigation they were informed about the Ops Officer's off books spy operation and when they inquired about it they were met with the phaser rifles of nearly the entire station's crew. The team along with Kellerman were put into the brig. They escaped and recruited the snitch who told them about the spy cameras. She helped them get to a comms panel to contact Manticore for help but once they did Kellerman turned on the team. The three of them were put into a more secure Brig but were helped to escape by an unlikely ally. The team escaped the station but not unscathed. Now they're racing back to Manticore desperate to learn what trouble has been wrought. END U.S.S.

everyone's here... 8:02 PM Last time... 8:03 PM You figured out how to operate the diagnostic port of the massive computer system under the planet 8:03 PM and discovered that it at one time had access to an arsenal 8:03 PM (but it can 8:03 PM 't seem to get in touch with its supplier for resupply) 8:04 PM but it still has other similar locations and physical connections all over the planet 8:04 PM and someone (correctly but inadvertently) made a connection to earthquakes 8:05 PM you also discovered its sensor abilities, which are beyond the Orindans' current tech level and that it can see both Arcadia and the runabout 8:05 PM Any sim-related qs before we start? CDT Rek Gapol 8/30/2026 8:05 PM nope Lt. Cmdr. Dana Los 8/30/2026 8:06 PM none here Lt. Cmdr Arizhel 8/30/2026 8:06 PM none here Cpt Arphazad Lo'Ami 8/30/2026 8:07 PM ok then...

Cpt Arphazad Lo'Ami 8/30/2026 8:08 PM (( bingo! )) Lt. Cmdr Arizhel 8/30/2026 8:10 PM Is it possible they are still around? And was this device meant to control the population any time it got too close to space flight in case they were discovered? 8:11 PM also we need a list of all other sites capable of firing out of orbit, to make sure none are still armed Lt. Cmdr. Dana Los 8/30/2026 8:11 PM Quite possible...never rule out strange things happening to advanced civilizations, you know, but the fact their weapons are out of stock suggests that they've either died out or lost interest in this old installation. Cpt Arphazad Lo'Ami 8/30/2026 8:11 PM (( what? a few nukes won't do anything to Arcadia...)) Lt. Cmdr. Dana Los 8/30/2026 8:12 PM Oh, don't worry...these are very primitive weapons compared to the Arc. They'd be capable of leveling cities, but the Arc would shrug them off easily. Ensign Natell Jasad BOT 8/30/2026 8:12 PM "Is this technology largely human?" Lt. Cmdr. Dana Los 8/30/2026 8:13 PM It's hard to tell exactly what it was meant for...perhaps this was originally a penal colony, or maybe the Orindians originated as a slave race of some kind... Lt. Cmdr Arizhel 8/30/2026 8:13 PM Bayside, what happened when you got on the planet? Can you tell us more about your interactions with the locals before you ended up here? And what happened when you were in your runabout? (edited) Lt. Cmdr. Dana Los 8/30/2026 8:14 PM The tech? It's not dreadfully close to human or Orindian.

(edited) CDT Rek Gapol 8/30/2026 8:18 PM They seemed generally normal, but were slightly agitated when I talked about innovation. They also seemed to be iffy around topics such as paleontology and archaeology 8:19 PM While I was in the runabout, we received what appeared to be subspace static, but looking back it could have been a warning Lt. Cmdr. Dana Los 8/30/2026 8:21 PM OK, I've got a bit of technical documentation here...the UT is having a hell of a time with some of the tech jargon, but there seems to be a general guide to system operation. I'm going to keep digging. Lt. Cmdr Arizhel 8/30/2026 8:21 PM did your runabout get shot at by planetary weapons defense? Cpt Arphazad Lo'Ami 8/30/2026 8:21 PM (( -- Authored by Claude )) CDT Rek Gapol 8/30/2026 8:21 PM no 8:22 PM The warning could have been trying to inform me about their defensive system Lt. Cmdr Arizhel 8/30/2026 8:23 PM and do you think the locals you talked to had any idea you weren't orindian? CDT Rek Gapol 8/30/2026 8:23 PM Not to my knowlage 8:24 PM I was supposed to be a tourist from across the Castalyndi Ocean Lt. Cmdr. Dana Los 8/30/2026 8:24 PM I could probably establish a direct uplink to the Arc from here...the transceivers seem capable of it. We could probably get a much better analysis of this data from the Arc's computer. CDT Rek Gapol 8/30/2026 8:25 PM There were archeological digs there and a significantly larger number of earthquakes...which could be related Lt. Cmdr Arizhel 8/30/2026 8:25 PM can we cross reference the dates of the earthquakes they described with activity from this computer? CDT Rek Gapol 8/30/2026 8:27 PM According to one man, who seemed slightly intoxicated, there are crumbled and destroyed buildings under are feet that are the work of Endo. Lt. Cmdr Arizhel can we cross reference the dates of the earthquakes they described with activity from this computer? CDT Rek Gapol 8/30/2026 8:27 PM maybe Lt. Cmdr Arizhel 8/30/2026 8:27 PM I am starting to believe him 8:27 PM Dana upload the data that you can get to the Arc, and then i think it's time we talk to Endo CDT Rek Gapol 8/30/2026 8:27 PM The last earthquake was 32 Orindian days ago, which translates to 35 earth days (edited) 8:28 PM At least the last one I know of Cpt Arphazad Lo'Ami 8/30/2026 8:28 PM System activity log> :: is very, very long and never rotates :: 8:29 PM System activity log> :: one log with 64 bit timestamps that go back very, very far :: Lt.

Dana Los 8/30/2026 8:33 PM +Betty+ Comb through it for any information on the original creators...we're unsure if it's Orindian or alien in origin. Also cross-reference the language used in the technical documentation I found with modern Orindian...I'd like to know if the two languages are related and if so when they might've diverged. Cpt Arphazad Lo'Ami 8/30/2026 8:37 PM Betty> +Dana+ the UT indicates that the language in this not modern Orindan, although it is filled with technical jargon, terms of art, and references to system components that don't translate neatly. It resembles a log written by a low level systems programmer. 8:39 PM Betty> +Dana+ The UT indicates that language is related to modern Orindan, with 20% vocabulary conservation in simple words. Complex words and technical terms seem mostly unrelated except where they share common roots with simpler words. The grammatical forms in modern Orindan are much simpler than this language. Lt. Cmdr Arizhel 8/30/2026 8:39 PM +betty+ do you have a lock on us now? I'd like to try interacting with the system but we might need immediate extraction depending on how it reacts to our presence Cpt Arphazad Lo'Ami 8/30/2026 8:40 PM Betty> +Dana+ We do have a lock on you. The room you are in is far more clear to subspace than any of the other areas you have been in underground. Lt. Cmdr Arizhel 8/30/2026 8:41 PM Dana do you think we're ready to talk to thee machine who may or may not be Endo? Cpt Arphazad Lo'Ami 8/30/2026 8:43 PM Betty>+Dana+ The computer has identified references to the computer's main high level systems. There is an input terminal available through the diagnostic report. If these timestamps correspond to Orindan time the way we hypothesize, it was last used 10,432 years ago Lt. Cmdr. Dana Los 8/30/2026 8:44 PM I think so. CDT Rek Gapol 8/30/2026 8:45 PM Are the species the same? Lt. Cmdr.

8/24/2026 9:02 PM U.S.S. MANTICORE BRIEFING #1378 STARDATE 52608.24 Manticore remains docked at Starbase REDACTED enduring extensive repairs. Meanwhile, two teams have been sent out on crucial missions. Bren, Annika and Pilot have been sent to a civilian research base where they will attempt to retrieve Bren's stolen Ketracel White data. Upon arrival they noticed how eerily empty the facility is. But the amenities are 5-star! Angela Reed has presented Bren with the job of... finishing his own research. While Bren worked, Annika searched through the computer and discovered some unsettling work derived from Bren's original research. They completed their mission of destroying all the stolen data, or so they thought. Upon their escape they were captured by Reed only to learn she knew who they were all along. She took Bren aside to make him an interesting offer. He was asked to make a bioweapon which he was assured would only be used as a deterrent. Hoping for the best, Bren took the offer where he was compensated with some interesting information. The first of which needs to be acted on immediately as Starbase REDACTED is under attack. -- Faldek, Harnett and Kansas have been sent to a secret Section 31 station as they attempt to snuff out potential spies within the organization. Faldek and Harnett met with the station commander, Captain Kellerman, who would be working with them to find the spies. Through their investigation they were informed about the Ops Officer's off books spy operation and when they inquired about it they were met with the phaser rifles of nearly the entire station's crew. The team along with Kellerman were put into the brig. They escaped and recruited the snitch who told them about the spy cameras. She helped them get to a comms panel to contact Manticore for help but once they did Kellerman turned on the team. The three of them were put into a more secure Brig but were helped to escape by an unlikely ally. The team is now working to escape the station but not before getting a little revenge. END U.S.S.

So far it has been smooth sailing. 9:31 PM Questions? William Chocox 8/23/2026 9:31 PM Have you gone outside, turned around three times, cursed and spit? 9:31 PM For sailing “So far it has been smooth sailing.”?

Commander with security's...beeping noise" 9:49 PM note Wade did not say the words beeping noise CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/23/2026 9:49 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Glances back at Wade. Squints.:: Ah, yes. You were featured heavily in his log entries. Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 9:50 PM Clark> Finishes his game of solitaire and looks around the lounge, not realizing it had gotten so late in the evening Oh, hey Chocox. William Chocox 8/23/2026 9:50 PM William looked up from his book. “Oh, hey Clark. How’s it going?” Irene Mincine 8/23/2026 9:50 PM Val> "There's an old Cardassian destroyer approaching, sir." Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 9:50 PM Clark> Not bad, just thinking about getting something from the mess hall. You? Wade Jericho 8/23/2026 9:51 PM "Vasad class" Indaura Ryssan 8/23/2026 9:51 PM :: Gets the 'something's happening' alert :: William Chocox 8/23/2026 9:51 PM “You know, I should probably eat. It’s been a bit since I got off shift. Otherwise I’m doing alright.” Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 9:52 PM Clark> I am told that eating is good to do. Grins. How's everything going to down below? William Chocox 8/23/2026 9:52 PM “Oh, you know, we’re going. Nothing stays fixed forever, unfortunately.” Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 9:53 PM Clark> I get a lot of the initial maintenance reports through my work flow, unfortunately. Especially if it's software related. CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/23/2026 9:54 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Yellow Alert. Inform the Captain. William Chocox 8/23/2026 9:54 PM William looked up at the lights as they shifted to yellow. “That’s not good.” Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 9:55 PM Clark> frowns So much for dinner. William Chocox 8/23/2026 9:55 PM “I could probably get you some rations from my stash.” Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 9:56 PM Clark> Makes a face. I think I'll survive. William Chocox 8/23/2026 9:57 PM “You’re missing out.” William got up and started walking to the turbolift. Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 9:57 PM Asher looked up from his book at the change in the alert lighting and the message on his PADD. Frowning, he put his book down and ran a hand through his hair, checking his reflection briefly in the window before heading out to the bridge. Report. Wade Jericho 8/23/2026 9:58 PM "Vasad class destroyer on intercept course, Captain." Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 9:58 PM Haven't heard that in a long time. Glances over to Jalen. Have they hailed us? 9:58 PM Clark> Smirks and follows Will to the lift Irene Mincine 8/23/2026 9:59 PM Val> "I didn't know there were still any out there." Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:00 PM Calmly takes the center seat. Drop us to impulse. William Chocox 8/23/2026 10:00 PM William stepped onto the bridge and took his position at the Engineering station. “Captain.” Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:01 PM Clark> Follows Will out and takes his spot, quickly bringing himself upto speed. CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/23/2026 10:01 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> No hail as of yet. ::checks sensors:: No signs of aggression. Irene Mincine 8/23/2026 10:01 PM "Aye." Val takes the ship out of warp. Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:01 PM Probably just a patrol. 10:03 PM Tactical, keep weapons and shields on stand by but don't power them up or activate targeting sensors. 10:03 PM ACTION> Incoming hail as the Cardassian vessel drops out of warp nearby us. Wade Jericho 8/23/2026 10:05 PM "Aye sir." William Chocox 8/23/2026 10:05 PM “Wait, they still have Vasad Classes out here?” Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:06 PM Shrugs They're still rebuilding their fleet. Makes sense for a quiet sector. 10:06 PM Clark> Incoming hail from the Cardassians. 10:08 PM On screen. 10:08 PM GlinnEmek> +Excalibur+ This is Glinn Emek of the Cardassian Defense force to Federation vessel. Identify yourselves. Wade Jericho 8/23/2026 10:10 PM Wade pulls up schematics for the Vasad to locate the sensor array without scanning it. Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:12 PM Casts a clance over to Jalen. The Cardassian Glinn looked pretty young. Probably born during or after the war. Asher forced a smile. This is Captain Asher Swain of the USS Excalibur. We've filed our flight plan with Cardassian border patrol. Is there something we can be of assistance with, Glinn? CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/23/2026 10:13 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::tries to keep his best neutral command face:: Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:14 PM Clark> Quadruple checks to make sure they did, in fact, file a flight plan. William Chocox 8/23/2026 10:15 PM William looks over the systems on his console, checking to make sure they were good to go in case the Glinn got jumpy. Irene Mincine 8/23/2026 10:15 PM Val's calm, because what is an old destroyer going to do to the ship? Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:17 PM GlinnEmek> The Cardassian returned a thin, somewhat dispassionate smile. Yes, Captain, we've received your flight plan and the manifest. As I am sure you are aware -- the Cardassian defense force reserves the right to inspect the cargo of any vessel transporting items considered Classes IIIB or IVC under the joint-customs agreement. 10:17 PM Clark> Was not actually aware of that. Looks back to Irene, who had a better idea at least of all the crap they were carrying to the science outpost. Irene Mincine 8/23/2026 10:19 PM Irene has nothing to offer but a shrug. Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:20 PM Gives Jalen a "look" but clears his throat. Ah, yes. I assume you're referring to some of the scientific equipment we're conveying to Narranda IV? 10:20 PM GlinnEmek> Science equipment is it? 10:21 PM Refrains from rolling his eyes, somehow Yes. I suppose you'll want to conduct an inspection then? CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/23/2026 10:21 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> It is on the manifest. ::to Swain after confirming on his console:: Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:22 PM GlinnEmek> Yes, Captain. Prepare to receive our inspection teams. Emek, out. 10:23 PM Clark> Guess who's coming for dinner. Irene Mincine 8/23/2026 10:23 PM Irene> "I'm not a lawyer, my mother's a lawyer. Don't look at me." Wade Jericho 8/23/2026 10:24 PM "I'll put together an escort." Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:24 PM Jalen, care to baby sit them? 10:25 PM Everyone else, I expect you to be on good behavior. We're in their space, a little shakedown to show us they're still in charge isn't a reason for us to not mind our manners. Understood? CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/23/2026 10:25 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Aye, Captain. ::Stands and nods to Wade:: Have a small team meet us in the transporter room. No hotheads. Wade Jericho 8/23/2026 10:26 PM "Aye sir." CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/23/2026 10:26 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Jericho, with me. You can work while you walk. Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:26 PM Mincine, go with them in case they have any questions about the equipment. Wade Jericho 8/23/2026 10:26 PM Wade picks the most diplomatic and observant security members he can find on duty. 10:27 PM Only one of them has spent time in the brig for punching someone! Cptn Swain 8/23/2026 10:27 PM Clark> whispers to Val Didn't Stanton say no hot heads? 10:28 PM Will Head down to engineering to make sure it's all locked down too, in case they decide to take their inspection perogative a little too far. William Chocox 8/23/2026 10:28 PM “Aye sir. No illegal stills.” William stepped onto the turbolift to head to Engineering. Wade Jericho 8/23/2026 10:29 PM The team members meet them on the way to receive the Cardassians 10:29 PM "Remember, be polite, and don't let them touch anything they're not supposed to." 10:30 PM "Eyes open" Indaura Ryssan 8/23/2026 10:30 PM "They are not getting into my medical stores..."

8/17/2026 9:03 PM U.S.S. MANTICORE BRIEFING #1377 STARDATE 52608.17 Manticore remains docked at Starbase REDACTED enduring extensive repairs. Meanwhile, two teams have been sent out on crucial missions. Bren, Annika and Pilot have been sent to a civilian research base where they will attempt to retrieve Bren's stolen Ketracel White data. Upon arrival they noticed how eerily empty the facility is. But the amenities are 5-star! Angela Reed has presented Bren with the job of... finishing his own research. While Bren worked, Annika searched through the computer and discovered some unsettling work derived from Bren's original research. They completed their mission of destroying all the stolen data, or so they thought. Upon their escape they were captured by Reed only to learn she knew who they were all along. She took Bren aside to make him an interesting offer which he eventually accepted. But how will he explain it to the others? -- Faldek, Harnett and Kansas have been sent to a secret Section 31 station as they attempt to snuff out potential spies within the organization. Faldek and Harnett met with the station commander, Captain Kellerman, who would be working with them to find the spies. Through their investigation they were informed about the Ops Officer's off books spy operation and when they inquired about it they were met with the phaser rifles of nearly the entire station's crew. The team along with Kellerman were put into the brig. They escaped and recruited the snitch who told them about the spy cameras. She helped them get to a comms panel to contact Manticore for help but once they did Kellerman turned on the team. The three of them now sit in a more secure S31 brig looking for a way out.

Simulation Forum USS Excalibur / excalibur USS Excalibur - Sundays 10:30 ET - Command Staff: (CO) Cptn Swain, (XO) CdrMirandaHawthorne Between 8/16/2026 9:33 PM and 8/16/2026 10:34 PM Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:33 PM MISSION BRIEF: Excalibur is enroute to resupply a science outpost on Naranda IV in what was formerly Cardassian space. The Cardasians withdrew from the sector as part of the Bajor Accords at the end of the Dominion War. They were planning on diverting "north" of Cardassian space to avoid an ion storm, however the storm has shifted directions and going the "long way" around is no longer viable, meaning we will need to cross into Cardassian space. As we pick up, we are nearing the border. 9:34 PM MB 2: Only in the last few years have the Cardassians been allowed to start rebuilding their military, with one of their primary roles being, effectively the coast guard. It is likely we will encounter a few of their vessels in transit. 9:34 PM Questions? William Chocox 8/16/2026 9:34 PM How mad are the Cardassians? Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 9:35 PM Is there any sort of protocol for entering their space? Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:36 PM I mean it's like a decade since the Dominion War, and they're more or less beholden to the Federation for their larger defense so, mostly just chaffing on the edges. William Chocox 8/16/2026 9:36 PM Gotcha COMPUTER BOT 8/16/2026 9:38 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== 9:38 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== 9:38 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== Indaura Ryssan 8/16/2026 9:38 PM "This is so exciting, entering Cardassian space after all this time." :: she said to anyone within earshot on the bridge :: William Chocox 8/16/2026 9:39 PM “That’s one word for it.” Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:39 PM On the bridge, frowning, drinking tea. He had somewhat hoped to avoid any entanglements with the Cardassians. Helm slow us to Warp 5.5. Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 9:41 PM Val> "Aye, Cap, slowing us down." The helm console chirps and their speed decreases as they are getting close to the border. Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:41 PM Anything on sensors? Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 9:42 PM Wade stands by, ready for trouble 9:42 PM (I assume with rex absent that he's at whatever worf's station was called) Indaura Ryssan 8/16/2026 9:43 PM :: She doesn't often get time on the bridge, but things are pretty chill down there for now. :: Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 9:44 PM Irene> Hmmmm. "Border marker buoys at the moment. Expecting a welcoming committee, sir?" CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/16/2026 9:44 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::At his seat on the bridge, decidedly not excited about crossing into Cardassian space.:: Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:45 PM Shrugs I wouldn't be surprised. The Cardassians are trying to be more protective of their borders. They're, not incorrectly, concerned about the amount of black market goods that get in, Especially given that we've withdrawn a number of our forces from their borders. Indaura Ryssan 8/16/2026 9:46 PM "I have brushed up on Cardassian biology, just to be prepared." William Chocox 8/16/2026 9:46 PM “That’s some good planning.” Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:46 PM I'd prefer to take the shortest course through their space. Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 9:48 PM Val> "You don't say." She says with a chuckle. Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:48 PM Clark> This was his first experience in Cardassian space. He was barely a teenager when the war ended, afterall. 9:49 PM How long before we cross the border? Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 9:51 PM Val> "At warp 5.5, three minutes." Indaura Ryssan 8/16/2026 9:53 PM "Do they know we are crossing into their space? Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 9:53 PM Irene> "That's what the beacons are for." William Chocox 8/16/2026 9:53 PM “I would hope we gave them a bit of warning.” Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:54 PM We filed a flight plan. 9:54 PM Clark> Double checks to make sure they did. 9:54 PM (give me a number, irene, 1-20 )) Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 9:54 PM (4) Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:55 PM (( lol )) CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/16/2026 9:55 PM ( uh oh ) Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:55 PM (( don't blame me! )) Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 9:56 PM (I USED MY PURPLE DIE AND EVERYTHING) Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:56 PM Clark> His records did show they sent their updated flightpath. William Chocox 8/16/2026 9:57 PM Will putters around on his console, checking power readings and the like. Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 9:57 PM Well. Finishes his tea and walks over to the 'fresher How is everything shaking out with the repairs? 9:58 PM Clark> Looks back towards the tactical console I'd guess we'd be seeing anyone approaching us on sensors, yeah? William Chocox 8/16/2026 9:58 PM “I’m finally getting my settings back to normal.” Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 9:59 PM "Yes, unless the Cardassians have started equipping their ships with cloaking devices they're not supposed to have." 10:00 PM "Or they're trying to hide from us behind a high mass body." 10:00 PM "No reason to do that for border enforcement." Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:00 PM So turning all the safeties off? William Chocox 8/16/2026 10:01 PM “I would never sir.” Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 10:02 PM Val's covering up a laugh, quite poorly. "Not many things to hide behind in deep space, unless they're gonna jump us from behind a star 3 light-years away." 10:03 PM She's laughing at Will, not Wade, but answering Wade. Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:03 PM "Yes, it'd be quite difficult, and require them to go a lot faster than we've seen." Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:04 PM Looks at Will 10:04 PM Looks at Will with an eyebrow lift If you say so. William Chocox 8/16/2026 10:04 PM Looks back innocently. CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/16/2026 10:05 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Hmmm. 10:05 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::also skeptical:: Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:05 PM "Those limiters on the phaser bank chargers are very necessary and definitely installed to spec." (edited) Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:06 PM Security now too? 10:06 PM Frowns At least I know Mincine isn't running some clandestine operation down in Science. Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:08 PM "It's all very secure, Captain." William Chocox 8/16/2026 10:09 PM “You sure about that, sir?” Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 10:09 PM Irene> "I'm raising the tastiest gagh in our environmental science labs." Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:09 PM Walking back to his seat, looks over to Jalen Is there anyone on this ship not running a side hustle? CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/16/2026 10:09 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> Is that legal? Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:09 PM "It's not illegal." William Chocox 8/16/2026 10:09 PM “Are you sir?” Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:10 PM (( I blame Corizon )) CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/16/2026 10:10 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::puts up hands innocently:: Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:10 PM "I checked" Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:10 PM Extra shoreleave time for you then commander. Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 10:10 PM Val> "I'm just happy to be here, Cap." Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:10 PM You too. 10:11 PM Clark> I uh. I mean I haven't got the holodeck pool party thing together yet. 10:11 PM Yes, but I want that project done. Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:11 PM Wade shrugs his shoulders. He's not going to have time to go on leave for the forseeable future anyway. Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:11 PM (( we did decide on a tropical themed bar yeah? )) William Chocox 8/16/2026 10:12 PM (( Yes. )) Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:13 PM Clark> Sighs 10:13 PM ACTION> Excalibur enters Cardassian space. Weeeeee Indaura Ryssan 8/16/2026 10:14 PM "Well, the actual crossing did not feel like much." Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:16 PM "Well, it's just a stretch of void, after all." Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 10:17 PM Irene> "Yamok sauce for everyone." William Chocox 8/16/2026 10:17 PM “Same as any. And space is big.” Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:17 PM "I don't envy the diplomats who have to argue about it all." Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:18 PM You know I did at least find a variety of Kanar that I liked. CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/16/2026 10:18 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> I could use some extra shore leave away from... everyone. ::Sighs and glances down at his padd, still trying to fix security issues with no security chief.:: Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:20 PM You know that Kanar has become their number one export since the war? Apparently the Karemma acquired a taste for it was exported to the Gamma Quadrant following the Dominion takeover of the Cardassian Union. Indaura Ryssan 8/16/2026 10:21 PM "It's an acquired taste for sure." :: winces :: Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 10:21 PM Irene> "They had to go to a whole different quadrant to find another group of people who like the stuff." Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:21 PM Does anyone else like Bloodwine? CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/16/2026 10:21 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::wrinkles his nose:: William Chocox 8/16/2026 10:22 PM “Enh, depends on the vintage.” Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:22 PM "Yeah, it's alright." Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:22 PM Clark> Yeah but you like nasyy war rations. Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 10:22 PM Irene> "What's wrong with bloodwine?" William Chocox 8/16/2026 10:22 PM “What do you mean ‘nasty war rations?’” Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:23 PM "It's a little strong for some people." Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:24 PM Except for the taste, it's really not that bad. 10:24 PM Clark> I heard all about you eating old rations on our last mission, Will Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 10:25 PM Val> "Those things are nasty, come oooon." CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/16/2026 10:26 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> He didn't get sick from them, at least. William Chocox 8/16/2026 10:26 PM “There were discontinued flavors there!” Irene Mincine 8/16/2026 10:27 PM Val> "There's a reason they were discontinued!" Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:28 PM You know I wonder if Picard ever had these kind of conversations on the bridge of the Enterprise. Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:28 PM "...What were the reasons?" Cptn Swain 8/16/2026 10:29 PM (( two minute warning )) William Chocox 8/16/2026 10:30 PM “They were still good!” Wade Jericho 8/16/2026 10:31 PM "Well, they weren't expired, at least."

8/10/2026 9:02 PM U.S.S. MANTICORE BRIEFING #1376 STARDATE 52608.10 Manticore remains docked at Starbase REDACTED enduring extensive repairs. Meanwhile, two teams have been sent out on crucial missions. Bren, Annika and Pilot have been sent to a civilian research base where they will attempt to retrieve Bren's stolen Ketracel White data. Upon arrival they noticed how eerily empty the facility is. But the amenities are 5-star! Angela Reed has presented Bren with the job of... finishing his own research. While Bren worked, Annika searched through the computer and discovered some unsettling work derived from Bren's original research. They completed their mission of destroying all the stolen data, or so they thought. Upon their escape they were captured by Reed only to learn she knew who they were all along. She took Bren aside to make him an interesting offer which he eventually accepted. But how will he explain it to the others? -- Faldek, Harnett and Kansas have been sent to a secret Section 31 station as they attempt to snuff out potential spies within the organization. Faldek and Harnett met with the station commander, Captain Kellerman, who would be working with them to find the spies. Through their investigation they were informed about the Ops Officer's off books spy operation and when they inquired about it they were met with the phaser rifles of nearly the entire station's crew. The team along with Kellerman were put into the brig. They escaped and recruited the snitch who told them about the spy cameras. She helped them get to a comms panel to contact Manticore for help but once they did Kellerman turned on the team. The three of them now sit in a more secure S31 brig. END U.S.S.

It will simply invert the polarity of the atmospheric scrubbers and permanently lock down the blast doors. The air in this station will turn to toxic sludge, your automated turrets will identify your own comm badges as hostile targets, and this 'undiscoverable' facility will become your tomb. I don't need my uniform. I don't need a weapon. I only needed four seconds at a keypad, and your own staggering incompetence. So, you have a choice. You can drop this forcefield, let me and my people go to my shuttle, and perhaps I will be generous enough to halt the sequence. Or, we can stand here together, and see which one of us has the discipline to die for the State. The clock is ticking. Choose wisely.

I'm really confused on when it began and what's happening 1 10:13 PM I thought the cat person was an old friend or something, then it was a body swap, then it was time travel, and then I realized I was just confused 1 1 10:13 PM Now there are githyanki involved and I'm... I figured I'll just ask Captain McFly 8/10/2026 10:14 PM Yeah, it started three or four weeks ago? I'm sure he can describe it better but it's a throughline from his character on Aegis. It's a feline/humanoid creature, not unlike a caitian called the Yith, that has technology to switch consciousness with people across time and space. Lt. Thomas Harnett (S31) 8/10/2026 10:14 PM I think it had to do with that Cat chick that joined and then left after like two sims... but that is just a guess Captain McFly 8/10/2026 10:15 PM It actually worked out well when we had the new chick begin and she was a Caitian, it kind of fell together. When she left we made the pivot that Erich's telepathy caused us to hallucinate that character, because they're both cat creatures, but she was never really here. 1 1 Bren Faliver (RB) 8/10/2026 10:16 PM Ohhhhhhh ok ok ok 10:16 PM Their absence is what has thrown me 10:16 PM Ok, now my misunderstanding is really funny to me, with the behind the scenes explanation 10:16 PM That's a pretty funny way to retcon it you guys Lt. Thomas Harnett (S31) 8/10/2026 10:17 PM Well, I had a good guess there, lol. Captain McFly 8/10/2026 10:17 PM Yeah, her coming and going was a real person joining and then abruptly leaving. So to explain that moment in time it just so happened we have a telepath on the ship who was being possessed by another cat creature. It's very rare life works out as well as that did.

Simulation Forum USS Excalibur / excalibur USS Excalibur - Sundays 10:30 ET - Command Staff: (CO) Cptn Swain, (XO) CdrMirandaHawthorne Between 8/9/2026 9:48 PM and 8/9/2026 10:36 PM Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 9:48 PM MISSION BRIEF: Excalibur has completed her repairs at SB133 and is once again out boldly going where no one has gone before etc etc etc. They have received orders to resupply a science outpost on Naranda IV in what was formerly Cardassian space. The Cardasians withdrew from the sector as part of the Bajor Accords at the end of the Dominion War. (edited) 9:49 PM Questions? William Chocox 8/9/2026 9:49 PM Nope! Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 9:49 PM Nothing bad ever happens at a science outpost! COMPUTER BOT 8/9/2026 9:50 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== 9:50 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== 9:50 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 9:50 PM On the bridge, drinking tea and reading up on the sector of space. He didn't have the fondest of memories of Cardassian space. William Chocox 8/9/2026 9:51 PM William was up on the bridge, monitoring various things from the Engineering bridge station. “So, science outpost?” Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 9:51 PM ACTION> Wade has discovered that Lt. Commander Rex is, in fact, on long-term leave of absence. He did not leave a note. Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 9:51 PM At the auxiliary security station on the bridge, reviewing the latest on Cardassian activity and doctrine. 9:52 PM ((Who's next in line for head of security?)) William Chocox 8/9/2026 9:52 PM (( Congrats! )) Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 9:52 PM (( ENJOY THE PAPERWORK! )) Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 9:53 PM ((There was no one in before an Ensign!?)) (edited) 9:53 PM Scratch that, Wade is busy with paperwork 9:54 PM Good thing he'd been helping Rex with that already. Too bad he didn't know how much he WASN'T helping with William Chocox 8/9/2026 9:54 PM “Irene should be thrilled.” Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 9:55 PM Clark> Sitting at the ops console, looking over the requisitions for the supply orders 9:55 PM Looks up from his reading They're doing some interesting biological survey work on the planet. CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/9/2026 9:56 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::On the bridge, muttering under his breath about ungrateful officers and their hoarded leave time:: William Chocox 8/9/2026 9:56 PM “Oh? What are they surveying?” William chooses to ignore anything he may or may not hear about shore leave time. Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 9:57 PM Wade is researching how there's not a single qualified Security Lieutenant on board in between mission prep and regular duties 9:57 PM The pad stack is getting existential 10:00 PM "Okay see, we do have Lieutenants, I knew I'd met some." 10:01 PM muttering to himself "Why do they all have markers disqualifying them for command?" Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 10:02 PM The planet has a number of highly evolved rainforest systems that are interconnected and interdependent. The Cardassians exploited the planet for rich lutetium and tantalum deposits, but since they withdrew the ecosystems are rebounding quickly. William Chocox 8/9/2026 10:02 PM “Well, that’s good to hear.” Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 10:03 PM "The civilian government has disavowed all claims. But there's always someone with a grudge and a starship." CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/9/2026 10:05 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::He looked over at Swain:: You have plans for security? Or want me to handle it? ::he waved a data padd:: We're up to our eyeballs in declines. Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 10:05 PM Glances to Jalen with a slightly wry grin 10:05 PM I try not to have ideas. William Chocox 8/9/2026 10:05 PM “Since when?” 10:05 PM “Sir” Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 10:05 PM I didn't say I didn't have them. I just, try not to. William Chocox 8/9/2026 10:07 PM “That’s fair.” Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 10:11 PM Looking back through his notes. The Cardassians are apparently petitioning to allow settlers who had been on the planet during their control of it to return as 'independent' colonists. William Chocox 8/9/2026 10:11 PM “Oh? I don’t see how that could go wrong.” William was trying hard to not rolls his eyes. Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 10:11 PM Well I am glad it's not my problem. Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 10:12 PM "Will we be delivering the goods by transporter or shuttle craft?" CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/9/2026 10:13 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::sighs dramatically and goes back to his padd:: Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 10:16 PM Clark> Both. Frowns Some of the stuff they asked for is too delicate for transporters. 10:17 PM Glances briefly to Jalen before taking another drink of tea. I think we should take a slightly longer course to avoid that ion storm near the Cardassian border. It doesn't look too friendly. William Chocox 8/9/2026 10:17 PM “Fun…and I agree with that sir.” Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 10:18 PM Wade nods 10:20 PM And also wonders what the hell is too sensitive for a device that regularly handles their DNA 10:22 PM "Do we know anything interesting about the research they're doing down there?" Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 10:26 PM I believe they're studying how fast the planet is seemingly rebounding from environmental damage. Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 10:26 PM Makes a note of "probably not dangerous" (edited) Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 10:27 PM A number of water systems that were heavily polluted have largely returned to normal. William Chocox 8/9/2026 10:27 PM “Oh really?” Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 10:27 PM "That's really quick, isn't it?" 10:28 PM ((I got twenty on Sapient Ecosystem)) Cptn Swain 8/9/2026 10:28 PM Nods Yes. Remarkably so. 10:28 PM (( TWO MINUTE WARNING )) Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 10:29 PM "Well that certainly explains the urgent need for all the equipment we're hauling." 10:29 PM "I hope none of those petitioners wanted to get mining restarted." William Chocox 8/9/2026 10:30 PM “I’m sure some of them want to.” Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 10:31 PM "Hopefully not enough to cause problems" CdrMirandaHawthorne 8/9/2026 10:31 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> We'll be there if they do. ::half listening:: Wade Jericho 8/9/2026 10:32 PM "Aye sir."

9:03 PM U.S.S. MANTICORE BRIEFING #1375 STARDATE 52608.03 Manticore remains docked at Starbase REDACTED enduring extensive repairs. Meanwhile, two teams have been sent out on crucial missions. Bren, Annika and Pilot have been sent to a civilian research base where they will attempt to retrieve Bren's stolen Ketracel White data. Upon arrival they noticed how eerily empty the facility is. But the amenities are 5-star! Angela Reed has presented Bren with the job of... finishing his own research. While Bren worked, Annika searched through the computer and discovered some unsettling work derived from Bren's original research. They completed their mission of destroying all the stolen data, or so they thought. Upon their escape they were captured by Reed only to learn she knew who they were all along. She took Bren aside to make him an interesting offer which he eventually accepted. But how will he explain it to the others? -- Faldek, Harnett and Kansas have been sent to a secret Section 31 station as they attempt to snuff out potential spies within the organization. Faldek and Harnett met with the station commander, Captain Kellerman, who will be working with them to find the spies. They began their investigation, first by looking at the flight craft and now by beginning their interrogations. They were informed about the Ops Officer's off books spy operation and when they inquired about it they were met with the phaser rifles of nearly the entire station's crew. The team along with Kellerman were put into the brig. They managed to escape without notice and Faldek believes the previous snitch might actually be willing to help. END U.S.S.

7/27/2026 9:04 PM U.S.S. MANTICORE BRIEFING #1374 STARDATE 52607.27 Manticore remains docked at Starbase REDACTED enduring extensive repairs. Meanwhile, two teams have been sent out on crucial missions. Bren, Annika and Pilot have been sent to a civilian research base where they will attempt to retrieve Bren's stolen Ketracel White data. Upon arrival they noticed how eerily empty the facility is. But the amenities are 5-star! Angela Reed has presented Bren with the job of... finishing his own research. While Bren worked, Annika searched through the computer and discovered some unsettling work derived from Bren's original research. They completed their mission of destroying all the stolen data, or so they thought. Upon their escape they were captured by Reed only to learn she knew who they were all along. She took Bren aside to make him an interesting offer which he eventually accepted. But how will he explain it to the others? -- Faldek, Harnett and Kansas have been sent to a secret Section 31 station as they attempt to snuff out potential spies within the organization. Faldek and Harnett met with the station commander, Captain Kellerman, who will be working with them to find the spies. They began their investigation, first by looking at the flight craft and now by beginning their interrogations. They were informed about the Ops Officer's off books spy operation and when they inquired about it they were met with the phaser rifles of nearly the entire station's crew. The team along with Kellerman were put into the brig where they were attempting an escape. END U.S.S.

CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:27 PM MISSION BRIEFING: Excalibur is docked with Starbase 133 for extensive repairs. Station monkeys are on board. Crew is on leave. 9:27 PM TBS a couple of days 9:27 PM Questions? Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:28 PM Anyone else get themselves injured or killed? CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:28 PM Not yet 9:29 PM But there's time Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:29 PM Lets hope no one tries to steal the ship while only I am aboard and the rest of you are subjected to a talktaive commander at a party.

COMPUTER BOT 7/26/2026 9:30 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== 9:30 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== 9:30 PM ======== BEGIN SIM ======== Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:32 PM Thankfully, of the many things Asher can be accused of, "Horse Gay" isn't one of them, so he won't be going for his saddle. Instead, he's looking through a gift shop for something to bring Arden. Indaura Ryssan 7/26/2026 9:32 PM :: Brings a warm drink up to her lips, the vapors a mix of sugar, cream, and roasted bean juice :: Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:33 PM Wade is seeking out his fellow Ensigns for whatever game it was he promised to join. CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:34 PM Ens Talia> ::With a group of other scrubs in the bar, enjoying a drink. She raised her glass as she spotted Wade.:: Hey! 9:34 PM All the ensigns> Hey! Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:35 PM "Hey!" Irene Mincine 7/26/2026 9:35 PM Irene's at a Space Suncoast Video looking through racks of holoprograms on isolinear chips. Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:35 PM "Really glad I didn't get lost." Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:36 PM Rex> Packing his quarters up. He wasn't sure if this was good bye or just a going to be a long vacation yet, but gods knew he needed a break. He hadn't mustered up the courage to tell Stanton or Swain yet, either. He frowned.: Damn, I guess I gotta tell'em sometime, William Chocox 7/26/2026 9:36 PM William’s also looking through the holoprograms when he spots Mincine. “Oh, hey Mincine. See anything good?” Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:36 PM Rex> AWOL isn't exactly a vacation. CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:37 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::holding down the fort in his office, though he was listening to some old earth classic rock while he worked on reports:: Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:38 PM Rex> Frowning, he walked over to the small desk in his quarters and booted up the terminal. He had something in the neighborhood of two years of leave saved up, so it wasn't exactly like he had to decide right away -- about his career anyway. He didn't expect Swain to keep his seat open that long, certainly. CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:38 PM Ens Talia> Come have a drink. We're waiting on the last group to finish up in the game room. Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:39 PM grabs a drink from the replicator "So what are we playing?" Irene Mincine 7/26/2026 9:39 PM "New Vulcan Love Slave's out." She grabs a chip from the rack. "Other than that... not much." Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:39 PM Rex> He'd already got the leave paperwork ready, he just had to hit send. There was something cowardly, he considered, about not telling them directly. But, otoh, he really didn't know if he'd back or not. He'd put in for two months. Bitting his lip, he hit send on the requesti. Indaura Ryssan 7/26/2026 9:40 PM :: Looks at her cup :: "Did I order replicated or do they have the real thing?" CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:40 PM Ens Talia> You ever done one of those rooms you have to solve puzzles to escape? Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:40 PM Clark> In the main lounge of the starbase, spots Irene and Will Good afternoon. Or is it morning? 9:40 PM Clark> Looks a little tired William Chocox 7/26/2026 9:40 PM “That’s unfortunate.” He still kept looking. “What’s your favorite holoprogram?” 9:41 PM “Oh, hello Clark. You also looking for holoprograms?” Irene Mincine 7/26/2026 9:41 PM "Not the kind that they sell here. Oh, hey, Clark." Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:41 PM "Yeah, back during the Academy. Something like that then?" CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:43 PM Ens Talia> Yeah, but we're also battling another team at the same time with mock phasers and there's hidden traps in the course. Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:43 PM Clark> Shrugs I've been working on getting all the logs updated with Fleet. Apparently our little encounter with the jellyfish-thing or whatever scrambled all of our mission logs dating back months. Sighs What kind of programs we got here? They used to have a canoe program from the lake region of Betazed that was real nice. Pauses Oh. I guess none of you have been here before? I was stationed here for like two years before Excalibur. Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:44 PM "Wow. That sounds....really fun." Indaura Ryssan 7/26/2026 9:44 PM :: Hears the Captain, or so she thinks. Starts searching for the source of the voice :: Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:44 PM "Like all the fun parts of our jobs and none of the scut work." Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:44 PM Rex> Exhales and logs off his console Alright. My transport leaves in two hours. I can get packed up and not see either of them before that. William Chocox 7/26/2026 9:44 PM “This is my first time here.” CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:44 PM Ens Talia> Seriously. Some of us don't get to shoot people that often. ::she grinned:: Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:44 PM In the gift shop, looking through a selection of wines Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:44 PM "Yeah, me!" Irene Mincine 7/26/2026 9:44 PM "Glad I don't work in Ops. No, haven't been to this one. It's a nice change from that one with the annoying administrator." Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:45 PM ::he grins back:: 9:46 PM "Do we know who we're playing against or is it a bunch of random station personnel?" Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:46 PM Clark> Walks over to the jukebox like holodeck catalog Hmm. Lakes of Betazed isn't in station memory anymore, but they do have a Wild West Ghost Mystery from an old novel "The Ghost Mesa." CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:46 PM Ens Talia> Randos. ::she pointed to another group at the end of the bar. Looked like a good mix.:: 9:47 PM Ens Talia> Station crew, I guess. William Chocox 7/26/2026 9:47 PM “Oh? Have you heard of that one before?” Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:48 PM "Huh, unpredictable. Nice." Indaura Ryssan 7/26/2026 9:48 PM :: Walks around with the coffee in her hand. Surely some of the crew were in the lounge :: Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:49 PM Clark> "You take on the role of a team of paranormal investigators called in to the sleepy town of 'Ghost Mesa' by an old friend, Erik Hobart. Hobart was a scientist, inventor, and businessman who made a fortune in electronics. He was investigating a mountainous area in the Southwest, intending to build a secluded home on top of a mesa around which rumors had long swirled. His messages intimate that he is in deep trouble and desperately needs someone of your talents." CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:49 PM Ens Talia> Oh! Looks like they're done. ::Swivels to look at two groups streaming from one of the game room doors. They looked tired, but happy.:: William Chocox 7/26/2026 9:50 PM “Huh, I might pick that one up. Something new to me at least.” Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:50 PM Clark> It's made for three people. Smirks Irene? 9:50 PM (( lol now I am going to have to actually re-read that book )) Irene Mincine 7/26/2026 9:50 PM Shrug. "Well, better than standing around." CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:51 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::glances at his incoming as it dinged. Blinks.:: Two months?! What in blazes... Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:51 PM Wade drains the rest of the drink "Lets go blow those randos out of the sky." Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:51 PM Clark> Sweet. We should be able to get period costumes from replicators. William Chocox 7/26/2026 9:52 PM “Nice.” CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:53 PM Ens Talia> ::hops down and leads the way:: Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:53 PM Clark> Set in the 1950's. William Chocox 7/26/2026 9:54 PM “That is not what I was expecting.” Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:54 PM Follows doing that shoulder loosening motion CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:54 PM Phaser Tag Instructor> ::waits for everyone to filter in:: Okay, people! Gear up! Blue team weapons and vests are on that side. Red team on the other. Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:55 PM Clark> Smirks and heads over to the replicator and punches in his measurements. CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:55 PM Cdr Jalen Stanton> +Rex+ Stanton to Rex. Indaura Ryssan 7/26/2026 9:56 PM :: Thinks she hears Will :: Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:56 PM looks at both, shrugs, goes for the Red Team equipment Irene Mincine 7/26/2026 9:56 PM Nod. "1950s? All right. Were they still wearing petticoats?" Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 9:57 PM Clark> I don't think so. But it is the wild weird west. William Chocox 7/26/2026 9:57 PM William steps up. “Make sure you get my measurements right.” Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 9:58 PM "Remember to keep communicating even when the shooting starts. It's easy to clam up when the adrenaline hits." CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 9:59 PM Instructor> Here's the rules. Your goal is to solve all the puzzles in your area without dying. If you're hit, you must return to home base to respawn. The final puzzle will reveal a totem that you have to plant in enemy territory. First team to do that wins. 10:02 PM Instructor> Each person gets a phaser and light grenade. There are various other weapons hidden in the course, along with traps. The course is always changing. Any physical contact between players is prohibited and will result in default and immediate game termination. Questions? Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:02 PM Wade remains silent. Makes sense to him. CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 10:04 PM Instructor> Okay! Everybody get to your team's base. Thirty seconds to game start. ::another door opens to the course, which is extremely dark and foggy:: Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:04 PM "Watch your step." (edited) Indaura Ryssan 7/26/2026 10:05 PM :: Simply found another table to sit at, confusing the staff surely :: Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:06 PM Wade and his teammates take up position. He's happy to see everyone remembers basic phaser drill. William Chocox 7/26/2026 10:07 PM William looks at the clothing. “Was this actually comfortable?” CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 10:09 PM Ens Talia> So what's our strategy? ::after taking position with the others:: Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 10:09 PM Clark> Donning his gear I don't it seems pretty comfy to me. William Chocox 7/26/2026 10:10 PM Puts his own on. “Oh, it actually is.” Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:10 PM "Well, we can either focus on playing defensively and solve the problems as fast as possible, or we blast the other team so hard they can't do anything at all." Irene Mincine 7/26/2026 10:12 PM Irene looks pretty weird, a 6-foot jacked half-Klingon officer wearing a polka dot blouse. "I protest. I am not a Happy Homemaker." William Chocox 7/26/2026 10:12 PM “Good thing you’re a paranormal investigator?” Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:12 PM "Eh, screw it. Lets solve puzzles." 10:13 PM "A couple of us can keep the rest off us. We'll adjust as we go?" CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 10:14 PM Ens Talia> Sounds good. What position are you taking? Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:16 PM "hmm, I'll play defense. But I reserve the right to switch out and do puzzles." 10:16 PM "what about you?" Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 10:17 PM Clark> You could always dress in male costume. It's a holodeck program, not a time travel trip. CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 10:17 PM Ens Talia> I'll stick with you. I want to shoot some people. Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:18 PM "It HAS been a frustrating couple of weeks." CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 10:18 PM Action> Horn sounds as countdown hits zero 10:18 PM Ens Talia> ::jumps:: This is it! Irene Mincine 7/26/2026 10:19 PM Irene disappears into a fitting room, with the sounds of a replicator going. She comes back out in a tan suit. "You're right! Much better." Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 10:19 PM Clark> Getting his 50's paranormal investigator kit together from the replicator Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:19 PM "Lets go! Crack that deck plating people!" William Chocox 7/26/2026 10:19 PM “You do look dapper.” William grabs his own supplies. Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:20 PM Wade moves in aggressively to clear the way with Talia for his team. Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 10:20 PM Clark> nods CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 10:21 PM Action> The game was hectic. The other team came at them right away, trying to rush them. Talia hit three of them from a hidden position, sending them back to home. Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 10:22 PM Rex> finishes packing his stuff and heads out the door. his transport to Risa would be boarding soon. It was cliche, but a couple of days in the sun was first on his list. Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:23 PM "Nice!" Wade makes himself a wall between their opponents and the teammates working on their puzzles. (edited) Irene Mincine 7/26/2026 10:25 PM She ties her hair up again, and is ready to depart. "All right." Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 10:26 PM Clark> Punches in "Ghost Mesa" in the holodeck computer and after a few moments, the doors slide open. CdrMirandaHawthorne 7/26/2026 10:26 PM Ens Talia> ::takes out another before getting hit:: Ow! That frickin' hurts. Be right back! ::darts off toward their base, leaving Wade alone:: William Chocox 7/26/2026 10:26 PM “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts.” Walks in as the doors open. Wade Jericho 7/26/2026 10:28 PM "Guess the other team had no confidence in their brains." Wade dodges a shot and fires rapidly to suppress the other team until Talia gets back Cptn Swain 7/26/2026 10:28 PM ACTION> Inside the doors, the trio find themselves at a rustic roadside hotel off the fictional main Route 77 where they are supposed to meet up with Hobart. The room smells like stale cigarettes and mothballs, but its clean. An ice bucket sits full next a couple of glass bottle sodas on the dresser near a radio playing Patsy Cline.
