Personal Log for 2nd Lt. Chell Reno Marine Fighter Pilot. Service Number 23874-09365 May 10, 2375.

 

I cant believe there dead. Its been a full week and I still cant accept what has happened. Ever since this God forsaken war started I've seen plenty of people die. plenty of people I knew and served with die. but they died in line of duty. They died for there freedom and there government but...... this..... is different. Its just so difficult to lose the people that you have trained and lived with ever since BT. and now there gone simply because of a....... I just cant accept it. However, JAG has ordered me to record the events leading up to there deaths for the investigation. So I guess the best place to start is the beginning........

 

Flight Officer 2nd Lt. Chell Reno stepped out of the Turbo Lift as the doors parted and onto the flight deck. It was crowded with flight crew and personnel getting ready for the patrol that was about to take off to do some scanning for Dominion patrols in the area. Chell walked half the lengh of the deck and approached the flight CO M Captain Marcus Lern and 1st Lt. Daniel Clark flight XO, "Sir, we almost ready to take off?" Marcus turned from a crewman and faced Chell. "Yeah, Chell. and were is Dana and Fred. I told them to report here 10 minuets ago." Chell smirked. "Well you know those two boss. They couldn't be early for a flight if the grand marshal himself were the mission CO". Lern cracked a smile. "you've got that right." Daniel also grinned. The turbo lift doors opened and out came the two tardy officers. Fred was still struggling with his flight suit zipper. Fred finally prevailed and joined the group with Dana in tow. "Well at least you two wore a flight suit this time." Marcus said. Fred smoothed out the top half of his uniform. "Sorry Cap'em, Time flies when your having fun." He winked at Dana. She gave him a disgusted look then folded her arms over her chest.

"Well don't let it get in the way of duty, Is that clear Pilot?"

Fred straightened "Perfectly sir."

"Good, now lets get to our ships. we cant keep the Admiral waiting with those sensor reports."

The group scattered to there respective fighters and climbed up the flight ladders. Chell hopped into his cockpit and pulled down the hatch. He started to go through the pre-launch sequence when something near Freds fighter caught his eye. A small portion of what looked like distorted space right near the left primary power coupling panel on Fred's bird. It resembled something like what space looks like around a half cloaked ship. Chell shook his head and rubbed his eyes and looked back. The distortion was gone. "Must be my old age." Chell chuckled forgetting about it, started up his engines and requested flight clearance. It was granted and his flight group lifted off.

"This is Flight Leader Lern, How we doing over there boys?" All the ships signed in as all green. "good, form up on me and lets get to work." After about 2 hours of normal scanning Fred's fighter started to ease out of formation. Lern signaled the group comm. "Lieutenant, whats going on over there? Your out of formation." A bit of static buzzed over the frequency but was replaced by Fred's voice. "having some problems with my left power coupling Cap'em. I'm bypassing the power flow and rerouti.........."

There was a sudden tremendous explosion. Fred's fighter spiraled out of control and crashed into Dana's who was starboard. both fighters exploded in bright orange, yellow, and blue. The resulting explosion instantly disintegrated Lerns fighter and caused both Daniel and Chell's fighters to spiral out of control. After of few seconds Daniels fighter also exploded due to a ruptured power conduit. Chell's fighter continued to spiral. Having suffered a severe head wound due to banging his skull against his control panel when the shook wave hit and in utter shook at what just happened Chell slipped into unconsciousness......
