=A= Aegis Mission Brief =A= 22 August 2388 - Stardate 2388.228 The time is 16:00 (4:00 pm) local Personnel have been aboard Aegean for four days and are ready to return. Deke Slayton and USS Missouri remain in the area. Admiral Groden has assisted Doctor Pavilion, Doctor Sandero, and LtCdr Duelle Tarisa. The Station has returned to normalcy as though nothing had ever happened.

The 27th Season begins on the 18 th of August in the year 2388 On the 18th of August in the year 1985, Starbase Aegis was born. Then located in the Canar System, it has since undergone two incarnations: Deep Space Aegis, and the present Sky Harbor Aegis. The station and its crew have endured the Dominion, the Klingon Empire, and the Cardassian Wars, plus countless other threats from within and outside the bounds of Federation space and the Joint Allied Powers. As we begin the new season, the date is 10 August 2388.223. Aegis itself is a strategic base that stands watch between known and unknown areas of space. Led by a powerful group whose resources and abilities have yet to be revealed, the Alien Alliance is building bases on asteroids and planetoids within a string of nebulae that allow them stealth passage from their space to that of the Joint Allied Powers. Their aim is to form a cordon around the Joint Allied Powers, take over Aegis, and use it as a staging ground to conquer the Federation and the Joint Allied Powers. The Alien Alliance has yet to take charge of the Joint Allied Powers, though they continue to try. The Joint Allied Powers are always watching... And they will endure.

Mission Brief | Sky Harbor Aegis | 14 January 18 August 2388 - Stardate 2388.224 The Deke Slayton remains in the area. For reasons unknown the USS Missouri has entered the area in stealth mode. The strange disturbance in space curled around Aegis then moved to another area. Security and Science keep watch in case the disturbance returns. Admiral Groden has chosen Tarisa to control a science mission. Otherwise personnel on station have returned to normalcy as though nothing had ever happened. =/\=BEGIN SIM=/\= =/\=BEGIN SIM=/\= mimipavilion: ::in medical:: Dacia Sandero: ::working in the sickbay:: Chirakis: ::sitting outside her office paging through information she'd never been able to before:: Tarisa:::Enters CnC, PADD in hand as she moves to her console for the moment.:: Alexis McFarland::;with Miana and Annisha:: Cptn d'Ka: :::steps out of Kirel's office:: Anything I can help you with?

Annisha: At first I just thought he had some mental break, but the doctor's confirms it's there. Dacia Sandero: Hm. Yeah, I wish we knew of a way we can separate you both safely. ::flips closed her scanning device:: Well, the check up is complete. You're both in good health and are cleared to continue your duties as normal. Chirakis: Groden> Good Be sure you have the gear you need and come to Deck Seven. Dacia Sandero: Is there anything else we can help you with? Nijil tr'Korjata: No, but... I feel there's something gnawing at my thoughts... like I am searching for something. Can't shake it. Tarisa: Yes Admiral. Chirakis: Admiral Groden, are you familiar with Commander Coleridge? Dacia Sandero: I can sense that too, but I'm also at a loss of how to process it. Unfortunately, that might be something you both will need to figure out for yourselves. But, we're willing to help you out with that as best as we can. Chirakis: Groden> Ah, yes. One of the best in the area.... or so I have heard. Tarisa: ::Exits CnC. She packs the necessary gear when she gets back to her quarters.:: Alexis McFarland: Yeah, I can sense that too.

I'll make another note in your records approving your continued duty as normal. I wish you luck in that. Nijil tr'Korjata: Time off would be nice. :: he winked :: Ah well, worth a try. Cptn d'Ka: :::moves into Kirel's office and listens outside the area::: Scott Coleridge: I'm intrigued by the mission you've requested Tarisa for. Dacia Sandero: Would it really be time off though? You'd probably have more responsibilities taking care of your baby after all. Nijil tr'Korjata: We have hired someone for that, but yes, you are right Dacia Sandero: Oh.. that's good at least. Cptn d'Ka: ((I must leave the area and enter the Missouri)) Chirakis: ((Understood)) Tarisa: ::Finished packing, and eventually makes her way to deck 7.:: Chirakis : :::thinking::: Indeed. ::turns to Scott:::: Aboard this mission, she is more than she realizes Scott Coleridge: What do you mean?

USS Missouri, USS Iowa, and USS Nimitz have left the area. The Duke Slayton remained to monitor the region. USS Missouri has docked on Aegis to monitor the area. Most Missouri personnel are aboard; others took turns on monitoring the ship and Aegis. Those aboard Aegis enjoyed relaxing on the commerce area. Children played games in the park while their parents relaxed on the grass and stared into space. Many walked leisurely through the commerce deck, gazing into windows and trying to decide what they should buy. Above that level several relaxed, drank, or leaned back to listen to those below. The level above was more expensive, especially Chez Antonio and Drankum’s Bar. A cascading waterfall gave a cool breeze to those who were close enough. Children were allowed to splash through the water as long as their parents were present. Most adults sat at a table away from the falls, knowing what might happen if there was too much splashing and playing. Unfortunately—or perhaps fortunately—the children watched Kirel, Je’rit, and Scott sit down close to the waterfall to relax and enjoy the evening. Whispers among the children didn’t seem unusual until Kirel and Je’rit were pulled into and through the waterfall. Parents gasped and began to pull the officers out, but they were already playing with the children. Soaked from head to toe, and glad that their uniforms would endure it, they eventually pulled themselves out of the water. Yes, it was time to go.

Dacia Sandero: ::checking in on things around sickbay:: CdrBrown: @::shakes:: gravitational waves are hitting us.... compensating with inertial dampeners and thrusters. mimipavilion: ::gets up and strolls over to Chirakis:: Chirakis: :::knowing what might happen, she stands in silence, waiting::: mimipavilion: ::whispers:: You alright Captain. Scott Coleridge: @ACTION> Aegean's sensors detect changes to the phenomenon, showing that its extent is shrinking but it has not entirely dissipated. Nijil tr'Korjata: @ Gravitational waves can be very intense. If it increases in amplitude we could rip the station apart. Tarisa: @ ::Verifying:: The anomaly seems to be shrinking. Chirakis: :::focusing on CnC, she says nothing but::: No problem, Doctor. Allow me to focus . Scott Coleridge: @::Nijil:: That's a good point ::Tarisa:: That's encouraging. CdrBrown: @::Nijil:: so are we replacing field size with intensity? mimipavilion: ::nods and backs off, knows somethings up; still keeping an eye on Chirakis:: Nijil tr'Korjata: @ No, just a grim statement. Chirakis: ::without turning:: You may stay, Doctor, but say nothing. mimipavilion: ::stays and nods:: Scott Coleridge: @ It looks like the pulse had a positive effect. The field has shrunk considerably, but it isn't completely gone. CdrBrown: @::Scott:: more power? maybe get one of the other ships to hit it as well? Scott Coleridge: @ I'm concerned that if we try the pulse on a smaller volume, it will have an inverse effect on the resulting gravitational wave... bigger wave, that is. Nijil is right. We don’t want to risk that. Scott Coleridge: @ We’ll need to come up with a different approach to deal with the remnant. Scott Coleridge: @ACTION> The phenomenon stabilizes at approximately 40% of its original volume. Now outside the field of effect, Aegean's warp engines come back online. CdrBrown: @::Sees his console readouts:: ::outloud:: Good news, warp drive is back online. Scott Coleridge: @ We put a bandage on the wound, but we haven't healed it yet. Chirakis: Lt Slater> :::turns::: Starfleet Command is asking for a report. mimipavilion: ::watches Chirakis:: Chirakis: ::without turning::: Say nothing, Lieutenant. Lt Slater: Yes, ma’am. Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Hears the voice in his head ask soo many questions :: mimipavilion: ::concerned:: Nijil tr'Korjata: @ What is the field strength now? Scott Coleridge: @::Tarisa:: Have the readings changed in any aspect other than size? Scott Coleridge: @::notices Nijil is on a similar train of thought:: Lt Slater: Aye, ma'am. Chirakis: ::very quiet and without turning:: Dr Pavilion, if Starfleet Command sends something to you, ignore it. They have no idea what we're dealing with. mimipavilion: ::quietly:: Understood. Tarisa: @ They do appear to be weaker for the time being. Scott Coleridge: @ Fascinating. So the pulse initiated a contraction throughout the subspace domains... but the energy...hmm ::looking over the sensor readings himself, pondering face:: mimipavilion: ::now ponders Medical Regulation 121 section a:: Scott Coleridge: @ Oh, of course, I'm so slow today. Scott Coleridge: @ The gravitational waves. Cptn d'Ka: ::listening and using her language, she sends information to Cdr Lei'ri:: Scott Coleridge: @ Yes, it all makes sense now... CdrBrown: @ So, if we continue to close it, the gravitational waves will persist at greater intensity? Scott Coleridge: @::nods at Brown:: If we aren't careful. See, the field is like a battery. It has been soaking up potential energy from subspace and storing it as it expands. Our torpedo didn't work; it fed the field energy, and that's why the field grew. Our deflector pulse caused the battery to discharge its energy in the form of those gravitational waves, but only partially. Scott Coleridge: @ So we need to find a safer way to discharge it the rest of the way, because we can't just go about setting off gravitational waves willy-nilly. I'm not *that* irresponsible. CdrBrown: @ So, we either need to do things slowly, or have something with the ability to handle the energy. Scott Coleridge: @ We need a controlled demolition. CdrBrown: @ What if we positioned multiple ships around the epicenter and use lower yield pulses.... We can use the Deke, Missouri, Iowa, and Nimitz. Scott Coleridge: @::waits for others to weigh in, knowing that as the commanding officer he might sway the conversation too early:: Tarisa: @ That could work. Chirakis: ::considers Cdr Coleridge's thoughts::: mimipavilion: ::while keeping an eye on Chirakis, wonders if this anomaly is affecting the Captain:: Scott Coleridge: @ We'll need to coordinate through Aegis. Cptn d'Ka: @ :::steps up::: Commander Coleridge, all these ships are extremely useful for that particular situation. CdrBrown: @::totally forgot d'Ka was hiding in the corner:: Scott Coleridge: @ Agreed. Scott Coleridge: @::Brown:: Inform Aegis of the plan and request that they coordinate with the other ships. CdrBrown: @::Coleridge:: Aye CdrBrown: @+Aegis+ Aegean to Aegis. Scott Coleridge: @::Tarisa:: Determine the optimal positioning of each ship and forward that information to Aegis ops. Chirakis: +Aegis here. Go ahead.+ Scott Coleridge: @::Nijil:: If you have any shield modification ideas to reinforce us and Aegis against the worst of the gravitational waves, this would be a great time to pull those out. mimipavilion: ::watches and waits:: CdrBrown: @+Aegis+ the field has reduced to approximately 40%. To combat the gravitational waves, we are requesting the Deke Slayton, Nimitz, Iowa, and Missouri assume positions around the epicenter along with us, to deliver lower intensity pulses. Chirakis: +Aegean+ These ships are powerful, but they must be notified through Cdr Coleridge. CdrBrown: @+Aegis+ He has requested permission to have them tasked to this maneuver. Chirakis: +Aegean+ Very well. Proceed. CdrBrown: @+Aegis+ Thank you. We will update when we are ready to initiate Nijil tr'Korjata: @ What? Sorry sir. Tarisa: @ ::Makes her adjustments, and sends the coordinates to Aegis.:: Chirakis: +Aegean+ Understood. CdrBrown: @::turns to Scott:: Aegis says the fleet is your's to direct. Scott Coleridge: @::Nijil:: Shield adjustments. For gravitational waves. Scott Coleridge: @::Brown:: Oh, more power. That's not going to go to my head at all. Nijil tr'Korjata: @ There are not really ones, more IDF CdrBrown: @::smirks:: If you need, I'll help you keep it in check...... Scott Coleridge: @::Brown:: Inform the ships of our plan. We'll need some time to coordinate everything. Chirakis: ::turns to Slater::: Lieutenant Slater, send this information to those ships. Do not inform Starfleet Command. CdrBrown: @::Coleridge:: of course. Sending messages to the ships. CdrBrown: @::sends notice to the Deke, Nimitz, Iowa, and Missouri that we are taking lead on this maneuver, and directs vessels to their designated coordinates.... additional info to follow:: mimipavilion: ::questions the Captains judgment call by not informing Command:: CdrBrown: ((what would Mirror Universe Mimi do?)) mimipavilion: ((bad things)) Chirakis: =/\==/\=PAUSE SIM=/\==/\= Chirakis: =/\==/\=PAUSE SIM=/\==/\= Chirakis: Thank you Chirakis: Very well done. Tarisa: ::paused:: Chirakis: In remembering that these ships must shift around and come together with the problem, our time will be... :::looks at Scott::: Chirakis: Four hours will do to get everything ready. Agreed, Number One? Scott Coleridge: Yes Chirakis: Very well... TBS will be 4 hours. Chirakis: Thoughts for the crew, Number One? Scott Coleridge: Nope Chirakis: Ideas, thoughts, etc, from the crew? Chirakis: Seeing none... Chirakis: Crew dismissed. Be well. Be Safe. Don’t forget your towel.

= /\ = Aegis Mission Brief 10/10/21 = /\ = 12 August 2388 - Stardate 2388.225 TBS is 1 hour. The time is 09:00 (9:00) Aegis Local Aegean personnel continue to investigate the phenomenon around Aegis. USS Missouri, USS Iowa, and USS Nimitz work on a cordon around the area. The bubble surrounding Aegis remains stable. The Aegean will attempt a wide-beam deflector pulse in an effort to invert the field on itself. Aegean is turned about and initiates the deflector pulse. What comes next we do not know.
