Lt. Cdr. John Lee Personal Log Star Date: 10509.11 Begin Log: The Republic crew seems to always have the knack of running into trouble every time we go on shore leave. The last time was when the crew fell under some illness; recently it was the incident on the Wadi station. That was an interesting mission, considering we were on shore leave in the Gamma Quadrant. It’s similar to a case that occurred on Deep Space Nine. Several officers on the senior staff were transported into some virtual reality of a Wadi game. Their fates would be decided by the players, which were Cdr. Kwai and Capt. Kawalas and several other Wadi personnel on the station. I had the fortune of walking in on the middle of the game. Watching the captain and commander playing this game, making sure that our fellow colleagues, our friends would make it “home” safe was not an easy thing to do. It wasn’t long before we figured out that the pieces on the board were the missing officers. We did what we could to get them out safely and quickly. We realized that we had to finish the game to retrieve everyone. As soon as the repairs were completed and everyone returned onboard, we departed the station and set course for the wormhole. An incident that happened while the crew was returning to the ship left my in command for the time being. I have to say, if it wasn’t for the Admiral being knocked unconscious, I probably would not have had the chance to be left in command, even if it was just to hold the fort for a while. Now I understand why people are so eager to become a captain, sitting in the center chair was an exciting experience. And the view was completely different in the command seat. I can’t wait for another chance at it. End Log:

Lieutenant JG. V’Ran Officer’s Log Star Date: 10507.05 Begin Log: With Security Chief Quark’s approval, I performed a mind meld Victor Images to obtain information that pertained to the event of his mysterious disappearance and reappearance near the station. Due to the current circumstances it was necessary to approve or disapprove any assumptions that would affect security of the station. Although Victor Images was frustrated with his confinement to the brig, he complied to verify his story. I must say, the meld was intriguing, as it was my first time performing one, but I had no doubt that it would succeed. I sensed much emotion, on a private level, which in respect for Dr. Images, I will not enter in my official log. From the report he submitted to Mid. Scotts, I can verify that what he claims to be his explanation for his disappearance to be true. Images reportedly went on leave to visit his home planet Kambana 6. Upon arriving at his destination, Images rendevous with Barry Lonsfield, his foster father, at DS9. Mr. Lonsfield is the captain of the merchant trade ship Hispaniola. He was returning from a trading business from the Cardassian border. According to Dr. Images, Lonsfield was smuggling Cardassian narcotics across the border. A report will be filed on Lonsfield and surrounding outposts will be notified of his crime. Upon his further investigation into Lonsfield’s dealings, Lonsfield suggested that Images continue to Kambana 6 in a pod which he would supply. As Images had left in the pod, Lonsfield activated a device located on the port side of the pod. Once this device was activated, the pod was subjected to a tachyon field which created a temporal fold in space enveloping the pod; disrupting the timstream within the field, which in a sense, stopped time. Further investigation of the device and it’s technicalities will be handed over to Chief Engineer Lt. Zhu. In conclusion of my report, I will recommend to Commander Quark that Dr. Images be released immediately and that he poses to security risk to the station. End Log:

Lieutenant JG V’Ran Officer’s Log Star Date: 10505.06 Begin Log: As I continue my task in providing security to incoming diplomats, political unrest is rising on the Cardassian front which will undoubtedly spread to the other powers within the sector. With recent attacks on Hutet and Cardassia IV, security measures on the station have been heightened. The security department has taken intensive measures to assure that the probability of an incident happening on the station is minimal at best. As we are currently dealing with the elections on Cardassia, which may be postponed according to Prime Minister G’Serk, a delegation from Rixia have come onboard the station seeking assistance from the Federation with their “Rixian Syndrome” as it is called. Apparently a virus that appeared to be insignificant in past years has proven to become lethal to their race. If a cure or a vaccine is not found, the Rixians may only have a few generations left in it’s life span. I feel that on part of the Rixians, there is much apprehension. Due to the part of their genetically enhanced race, their way of thinking is of superiority to all other races. They still believe that they are the “the center of the universe” so to speak. A belief that is common in the history of most civilizations. However I believe that they are an open minded people when the time calls for it; their ability to accept things that are not in accordance to their beliefs is skeptical at best. And with the political shake up on Cardassia Prime with upcoming elections does not help the situation. This could damage the relationship between the Federation and the Rixians as well as Cardassia. The events that will unfold will determine the future of this sector, if not, the quadrant.

Lieutenant j.g. V’Ran Officer’s Log Star Date: 10502.21 Begin Log: The even involving the ion storm has passed, with interesting situations. The major repairs on the station have been completed. Station life is beginning to return to normal. Almost immediately after the ion storm passed, political shakeup has risen on Cardassia. In relations to the current office elections, we are preparing for the worst possible scenario. I have been given the assignment of monitoring the elections and preparing for any possible terrorist attacks. I have taken measures to monitor political news traffic on Cardassia for any possible leads that will lead me to a possible attack. Aside from that, I have been given another task to safe guard a guest that has come onboard the station, however I have no other information on this guest, only that I know that he or she is here. In other news diplomats are reported to arrive on Aegis in the next few days. I have undoubtedly been given this task to assist in the safeguard of the diplomats, and to provide any services needed. Further security measures will be taken; the arrival of the diplomats will be an enticing target for any terrorist group. The security department is capable of taking this task; the probability of something occurring is quite high. End Log:

Lt. Cdr. John Lee Personal Log Star Date: 10501.13 Begin Log: It has been a strange journey of sorts. Most of the senior staff have, lets just say been bad. However I have been fortunate not to be involved in the situation for which the staff may be court marshaled for. It is not time to dwell on such, now it is a matter of repairing the shields and the structural integrity systems, the secondary systems will have to be put off. The struck has been struck by some pulse of immense power, capable of disabling our shields on the first shot. Luckily partial shields have been restored; structural integrity is almost back to full strength. I wish that we were to move out of the system, unfortunately there is a mission to complete. I doubt it will be a quiet one. End Log:

Ensign V’Ran Officer’s Log Star Date: 10411.19 Begin Log: The leading edge of the storm is closing in on the station as I write this log. Before the storm has even reached the station, we are already feeling the affects of the magnetic field it is emitting. Several systems on the station are constantly shutting down and turning back on. This will hamper our ability to sustain the brunt of the storm; with constant failure of the station’s systems I do not believe that our chances for survival are very good. However we are trying to adapt the station from the continuous disruption of power. Chief Quark, Lt. Andrews, and I are currently in security observing the events on the station; however the power in security and on the deck is offline. But I do believe I can adapt an emergency power cell to the security console, with the help of Lt. Andrews, I believe I will be able to bring the short range external sensors online and minimal internal sensors. It is expected that enough of the sensors to be able to monitor the internals of the station and the ion storm. Eng Log:

Ensign V’Ran Officer’s Log Star Date: 10410.29 Begin Log: I discontinued my work to analyze the movements of the Cardassians that were present onboard the station, to assist with the evacuation of the station. My assignment was to monitor and ensure the safety of the evacuation of civilians to the starship Vico. The evacuation proceeded as expected, aside from minor infractions. No doubt as the result of uneasy emotions, which several could not control. When the evacuation had been completed, there were no more than thirty officers remaining onboard the station. To which will respond to any emergency that will arise on or near the station. The station now is empty, with no civilians or other officers remaining onboard. It is quite uneasy to adapt to the vastness of the station without any other presence present, except for the thirty crewmembers remaining onboard. However the thirty crewmen onboard do not compare to the large population of people that evacuated. None the less this will not affect our abilities to run the station during the ion storm. End Log:

Lt. John Lee Officer’s Log Star Date: 10410.11 Begin Log: While traveling to the coordinates to receive the ingredients needed for the vaccination against the virus, we sustained damage when encountering a subspace fracture. Extensive damage to the port nacelle, destroying the bussard collector and overloading two of the warp coils. This being done, it was necessary to deactivate the two corresponding warp coils on the starboard nacelle. With four of the warp coils off-line, we are delayed from arriving at New Bajor as soon as we had hoped. Repairs are underway, hopefully we will be able to repair the warp coils without having the need to dock at a star base. End Log:

Ensign V’Ran Officer’s Log Star Date: 10410.06 Begin Log: As the ion storm closes its distance to the station, further protective measures have been taken to secure the civilians of the station and incoming ships, as well as the station itself. The station’s security department has run several diagnostics of the monitoring systems, as well as the identification programs to monitor the incoming civilians. I have also gone over the evacuation plans with Muon Quark, chief of security. In light of the emergency, I am confident that the station will survive. I am also confident in the performance of the crew. Another mission which will prove to be successful. End Log:

Ensign V’Ran Officer’s Log Star Date: 10409.26 Begin Log: The investigation concerning Ens. Scott has been halted temporarily, for the sudden concern is an approaching ion storm. The storm is on a course heading for the station, preparations are underway to ensure the protection of the station and nearby planets, facilities, and ships. My duty is to oversee the necessary evacuations procedures, in case the station needs to be evacuated. I have gone over the plans with Lt. Cmdr. Quark. As soon as the preparations are complete, we will wait for the storm and see what will happen. End Log:

Lt. John Lee Officer’s Log Star Date: 10409.13 Begin Log: Upon my return to the ship, I was directly ordered to return to my duties because the toll the virus had taken on the crew. As the ship was left with less than a skeleton crew, there was barely anyone to keep the ship’s systems functional. Unfortunately with the virus running loose all over the ship, we were left to work wearing environmental suites, which were very uncomfortable. However, in light of current events a cure for the virus has been discovered and implemented. Now that the cure is being distributed, the ship is returning to normal, except for the fact that the admiral is now in custody of the Yadernans. End Log:

Midshipman V’Ran Officer’s Log Star Date: 10409.3 Begin Log: I have been assigned the duty of investigating Ens. Scott Sabourin’s case, in which he is accused of harassing a fellow officer in Drankum’s Bar during which the aliens were still habiting several crewman. The accuser is Lt.Jg Jenna Schwartz, I first began my investigation my questioning her, but before I could and incident concerning an individual falling from the upper deck. Unfortunately the patient did not survive; I have heard that this incident may be related to a previous homicide case, before I was posted on the station. Before I questioned her I realized that she would be a difficult individual to question, from her remark of outranking me. Judging from her emotional reaction, I suspected deception. As I continued with my investigation she became highly emotional, illogical, but humans are an emotional people. Now that the questioning has concluded, I will look into her personal files, to search for any past incidents that may be similar. I also require Lt. Cdr. Quark’s account of how Lt. Schwartz reacted when the chief questioned her. Then after that has been completed I will question Ens. Sabourin. However I suspect that this case is not what it appears to be… End Log:

Midshipman V’Ran Officer’s Log Star Date: 10408.26 Begin Log: There has been little misconduct onboard the station. Nor has there been any “action”. Life on the Aegis has been a quite one, one of recovery. Now that things have settled down, Lt. Jg. Shawn Andrews gave me a tour of the station. This will surely assist me in adapting to the station surroundings. I have committed the station to memory; this will improve my efficiency as a security officer. End Log:

Lt. John Lee Personal Log Star Date: 10408.26 Begin Log: There has been no progress in the release of Capt. Ace. But we were allowed to return to the ship, but as we reached the docking bay of the ship, we were ordered not to exit out of the Yadernan shuttle. We don’t know why we can’t leave the shuttle, has something happened on the ship? Has the virus situation gone worse? Capt. Ace being retained on the planet is bad enough but if we have an epidemic on the ship, things will get worse. End Log:

Lt. John Lee Personal Log Star Date: 10408.22 Begin Log: Disturbing news… the Yadernans are holding Capt. Ace is being held in their custody to answer crimes during the Dominion War. The charges are against Adm. Blurox, but the chancellor is holding Capt. Ace in her place. The chancellor informs us that the Capt. will not be harmed, and that she will be released when the Adm. comes to take her place. Fortunately for the rest of the away team, we will not be harmed. But I feel uncomfortable about the situation as well as the rest of the crew. I can only hope that there is a solution to all of this. End Log:
