06.17.09 Agincourt Update:

 

TBS: 48 Hours

 

- The local Starfleet sector patrol has arrived to take custody of Harvey and the other captured terrorists. They will be further questioned by the local sctor Admiral for further details on the so called Soltan affiliation. Was Harvey really telling the truth? Or merely messing with us?

 

- Sciences has determined that "something" was done to the equipment at the research center. Further questioning of the suspects/terrorists may determine if they were in fact responsible, and what exactly they were hoping to accomplish by shaking up and looting their world.

 

- The Agincourt crew now starts the process of breaking down our Planetary Base Camp, finishing up at the Research Center, remanding any suspects over to the local starbase authorities for transport, and getting all personnel and equipment back to the ship.

06.24.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

TBS: Three Days

 

- It's an easy duty shift cycle as the crew tends to mundane matters such as reports, and general duty shifts.

 

- The Agincourt remains on a temporary patrol route while awaiting new orders.

 

- Engineering enjoys some cinnamon rolls rahter then donuts. CSEC Caine and OPS Collins have a conversation on the quiet bridge. SCI Bat Tay engages in a holo research program. MCapt Matthews finishes up interrogation reports. Colonel Harper is up to her neck in reports. Commander JoNs questions Gunny Sergeant Hefner on the concept of Marine "toyz".

07.01.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

TBS: Day and a Half

 

- The Agincourt has been dispatched to the dilithium manufacturing colony world of Corianis.

 

- The colony is experiencing internal problems such as labor strikes, and the situation has now progressed to full-scale riots.

 

- The local security forces are overwhelmed, and the colony administrators have turned to the Starfleet for some help with the rapidly deteriorating situation.

 

- Colonel C.E. Harper, Commander Kansas JoNs, and the crew of the 'Court are tasked with getting the dilithium flow moving again and the workers and situation quieted.

[Kansas 0]

07.08.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

TBS: 2 Hours

 

- The Agincourt has arrived and established orbit over the Corianis Colony; the bad feelings between the dilithium workers and the local colony administrators are still present.

 

- The Command Staff of both the ‘Court and the border patrol boat USS Jackrabbit will meet with both colony management and the mine workers to find out why the situation has gotten so far out of hand.

 

- Security will start to co-ordinate with the Jackrabbit personnel to send out roving patrol teams; all other ‘Court department personnel are to remain on standby for now.

07.15.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: I think the XO missed it.

 

- Agincourt Security (and probably the Marines as well) deployed to aid the security crew of the Jackrabbit with the planetary patrols.

 

- Engineering was dispatched to check over a site of a skirmish between mine workers and the local police.

 

- Tensions are high on both sides of the colony conflicts btw the miners and the police/administration.

 

- For now, other departments remain on board the ship. The CO perused through update reports regarding the situation, while the XO directly questioned workers out at one of the mine camps.

07.22.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: Very Short

 

- The crew stays busies with general day to day shift work as well as the matter of the colony issues. Security continues to patrol planetside regularly. They begin to consider covert ops to gather Intelligence.

 

- We welcome a new CMO on board, Doctor HRasha Trenral. She meets Doctor Socom and Marine Medic/Recon Gunny Hefner.

 

- Chief Engineer Kassem reports to Colonel Harper on the various blood stains and damaged equipment that marks one sight where a skirmish took place between the miners and police. The forensic and equipment evidence points to an accident, which is at the root of most of the conflicts between miners and administrative: unsafe working conditions?

 

- Our investigation into the Corianis Colony and its worker and management problems continues.

07.29.09 Agincourt Update:

 

Time Between Sims: 20 Minutes

 

- The Command Teams of the 'Court and the Jackrabbit beamed down to Corianis to meet with Santos M'Shin, representative of the miners. M'Shin claims that the decline in safety measures has been a problem for 6 months, and the riots are the resulting anger over that.

 

- Lt. Cmdr Kassem again beamed down to a mine site strewn with wreckage to investigate further for clues.

 

- The Bridge Crew (Salir, Tay, Shadow) discussed the various issues surrounding the world.

 

- Senior Engineer Lieutenant Murray headed down to Engineering, and found that Karrigan caught a cold from somewhere; the junior Engineering officer and went to see Doctor Socom and the new Doctor, Trenral, as well. Gunny Hefner was again deployed/on duty as Medic, just in case.

08.05.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

TBS: 20 Minutes

 

- The Chief Engineer bolted from her bridge watch posting to re-Investigate the previous skirmish and equipment accident area that Engineering had checked out, without permission from the command staff to leave the ship. Basically, she pulled a Kansas. But - Karma is always a fitting thing.

 

- Homemade bombs were tossed at the outer area/building windows of the conference room where the command officers from the USS Agincourt and USS Jackrabbit were meeting with miner representative, Santos M'Shin. And, the attackers were not the Protesters who were peacefully against the meeting and congregating outside the building.

 

- Powder from the homemade incendiary devices were detected by scans, shipside by the Engineering teams. Security and Medical Teams are on site.

08.12.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: 30 Minutes

 

- Tempers flared, the chaos continues, and this sim was a gas.

 

- After the initial issues with the first peaceful group of protestors, a secondary group among them were the ones who actually tossed the homemade bombs. This current sim had a third group/mob forming, angry about what happened and demanding some answers.

 

- Captain Calestorms people got a little excited per her orders: shuttles from the Jackrabbit did a low fly by on the third mob group, catching Agincourt personnel in the process with some nasty funny gas grenades.

 

- The powder used in the homemade bombs is very common and hard to track. Can this Corianis mission get any worse? And who or what is behind all the chaos?

[Kansas 0]

08.20.09 Mission Update:

 

TBS: Short

 

- The search for the actual perpetrators who launched the homemade bomb at the conference building continues. Security and Marine Teams (Caine/Messner and Matthews) are to patrol and set up roadblocks around a few block perimeter area. Colonel Harper tasked Cmdr. JoNs with locating the original problem group.

 

- The 'Court Bridge crew (Kassem, Murray, Tay, Julio) stay vigilant, tracking our planet side teams and the various comings and goings about the incident perimeter. Doctor Trenral attends to the people wounded in both the original attack and by the gas bombing ordered by Calestorm and carried out by Jackrabbit shuttles.

 

- After a "this ground situation is not being handled well" posturing session among the USS Agincourt and USS Jackrabbit senior officers and commanding officers, Calestorm threw the full mission control lead off onto Harper.

[Kansas 0]

08.26.09 Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: Half Hour to an Hour

 

- Security and Marine teams from the Agincourt moved in on the suspected target area/building. Local dissidents, responsible for breaking up the earlier peaceful protest, were in fact routed out.

 

- As the now on site lead after Captain Calestorm threw full control over to her, Colonel Harper recieves unwelcome orders from Admiral MKory: apparently, the Agincourt is to implement martial law at Corianis in order to get the dilithium production mines up and running again.

[Kansas 0]

09.02.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: One Day

 

- The 'Court crew begins the process of Martial Law implementation, per direct orders from Admiral Mkory of Fleet Command.

 

- In other news, a Soltan force attacked a convoy of ships carrying dilithium stores. It would seem the wolf is still at the door.

 

- The crew of the Jackrabbit is due back with reinforcements for the new implementation, and the Agincourt will then be on her way to our next mission.

[Kansas 0]

09.09.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

TBS: 2 Days

 

- The 'Court has warped away from the Corianis world.

 

- Ship and crew are on a temporary patrol assignment along a section of the Alpha Quadrant frontier, watching over the local cargo transport lanes and perimeter area due to the recent rash of Soltan attacks.

 

- Sciences and Security studied the data telemetry from the Soltan convoy attack battles that were released over the Fleet wireless. The Chief Medical Officer contacted ships command and requested that an order for new supplies be transmitted in order to re-stock ships stores. Engineering kibbitzed and went about minor repairs. The Exec had words with a Marine line officer, culminating in disciplinary action.

 

- We await new assignment orders.

09.23.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: 18 Hours, and we will be arriving at what has now become the front lines of the latest Soltan incursions into Federation space.

 

- The Agincourt is en route to the border where the Soltans are trying to establish a beachhead. A breakthrough is still imminent and the map is still forthcoming and we are still expected to reinforce the fleet.

 

- The CO and CSEC have a meeting to discuss the latest strategic tactical Intelligence on the Soltan with this new front line concern. The Soltans have unconventional weapons on thier side, in particular the "tunneling drive" that enables them to zip from one location to the other in a blink.

 

- The area of concern is located close to Romulan space, and out along the frontier of Federation space - colony worlds are still in danger. The entire area is slowly destabilizing as the Soltan presence keeps shoring itself up.

 

- The XO dealt with an internal disciplinary matter. Engineering discussed the concept of food.

[Kansas 0]

09.30.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: 18 Hours

 

- The Agincourt has joined the other Starfleet ships that have been sent to what has now become the front line of the Soltan skirmish in the Alpha Quadrant.

 

- Both the home fleet ships and the enemy incursion fleet maintain a "stare down" contest, and remain in a tense standoff with neither side making the first move. It is only a matter of time before the excrement impacts with the rotary oscillating device.

10.07.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: 10 Minutes

 

- The skirmish has begun. The Federation Starfleet forces enter into the fray after the Soltan Fleet ships make the first move over the established skirmish line.

 

- The Agincourt takes damage and internal Marine and Security personnel are also repelling Soltan boarding parties; Damage Control Parties are kept quite busy, while Engineering tries to keep it all together (literally).

 

- The blue skinned humanoid Soltans employ their subspace weapons and transporter abilities to get critical hits through the ‘Courts defensive shields.

10.14.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: 2 Minutes

 

The front line skirmish to hold the Soltan at the Alpha Quadrant entry point continues to rage. The Agincourt pulled back from the front lines after sustaining damage while internal Marine fire teams and Security patrols repelled the enemy boarders on Decks 9, 12, 14, and 16. Most of the breached areas have been reclaimed by the home team, Main Engineering has not been compromised, and Damage Control teams dispatched from Engineering roam across the corridors and attempt to repair the damage. Any enemy Soltan combat teams have been routed and are either dead, dying or have retreated to be beamed back to their ships.

 

1.) Damaged Areas

 

Alpha Section/Main Bridge: Equipment and structure damage, no danger of decompression, workable environment.

 

Aft (general Starboard area) Warp Nacelle Pylon: Metal is stressed, still functioning.

 

2.) Serious Injuries

 

Colonel C.E. ‘Medusa’ Harper: head injury due to impact from falling bridge strut on Main Alpha Bridge (currently in Beta Section/Secondary Sickbay)

 

Commander Kansas ‘Will’ JoNs: knife wounding to abdomen during NNC skirmish (currently in Alpha Section/Main Sickbay)

 

Note: Both command team officers are out of the action and sedated until further notice.

 

3.) Current Location of Personnel

 

Alpha Section:

 

Main Bridge: Science Officers ‘Sin’ Condacin and Tay, CB Messner at Tactical

 

Medical Bay: Doctor Hrasha Trenral

 

Beta Section:

 

Secondary Bridge: Lieutenant ‘Bulldog’ Mattingly (NPC)

 

Medical Bay: Doctor Vaughn (NPC)

 

Gamma Section:

 

Marine NNC (No Name Central) Command: SSgt. Valeri ‘Gus’ Officer Gustavson (NPC), Security Officer Farragut (NPC), and MCPO Keltex (NPC)

 

Main Engineering: Lt. Commander 'Flux' Kassem, Lt. (sg) Murray, Engineering Line Officers TLak and Karrigan.

 

Tertiary Bridge: GSgt. ‘Slick’ Hefner, and Lt. (sg) ‘Junior’ Caine, Marine Officer Pete ‘Rocky’ Petros (NPC)

 

4.) Tactical Notations:

 

Gamma Section /Tertiary Bridge, Alpha Section/Main Bridge, Alpha Medical, Tertiary Medical, Alpha Engineering, and Marine NNC Command all maintained contact with one another once the wireless signal for Internal ships communications was reestablished. Combat comms and squad to squad helmet comms also remain intact for now.

 

The various senior officers and line officers were in constant contact and made decisions on the fly with regard to the Agincourt’s precarious position in the front line skirmish. Going to the MVAM mode was nixed by the Engineering Department due to sustained internal and external damage, especially with the stress the separation would induce on the support pylon for the one warp nacelle.

 

The Agincourt has picked up Starfleet friends: two Defiant class shops that are protecting the ‘Court while the crew works to get the damaged exploratory warship moving again.

 

A risky assault plan has been decided on by the senior commissioned officers in joint combat command. The Agincourt will be going for a final attack run, with Tertiary Helm driving while the Alpha and Tertiary Tactical officers and bridge officers co-ordinate any attack patterns.

10.21.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

TBS: 2 Hours

 

- The Soltan fleet has pulled back from the Alpha Quadrant front lines. Harper and JoNs regain consciousness, though they are not happy campers. Engineering picks up the pieces, literally. The Marines, Security, and Sciences Departments all regroup as the pitched battle comes to a close and the officers all take stock of the aftermath situation. Medical continually deals with the wounded and patches them up. It's a good be that we have dead Soltan bodies littering the corridors and deckings on the breached areas, so everyone beware of that Soltan Species Turning.

[Kansas 0]

10.28.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: 4 Hours

 

- The cleanup continues after the pitched battle with the Soltan. Harper and JoNs are still down for the count, but conscious for the most part. Engineers Murray, TLak and Karrigan continue to work tirelessly to get the ol’ girl back up to speed, tackling the damaged areas themselves as well as directing Damage Control teams.

 

- On call Medical Doctor Stein, overseeing the internment of the dead enemy bodies into deep cold storage in one of the cargo bay areas, noted that the Agincourt crew, especially all the people in contact with the Soltan boarders during the fighting, might have been exposed both during and after the hand to hand and direct fire contact to whatever method the Soltans use to turn others species “Blue”.

 

- Lt. Commander Condacin, Lt. (sg) Caine, and Lt. Commander Kassem have a meeting of the minds on the bridge in order to figure out any possible solutions for the Soltan quarantine situation. Gunny Hefner shows the Marine ropes to new Private Karo during the clean up in the Marine NNC.

 

- The senior bridge officers zero in on possibly using the Transporter Decon Cycle as a cleansing/scanning option for any crew suspected of coming into direct contact with the boarding parties. It is decided to alert the medical staff and the CMO since the medical docs and nurses and techs are the ones that will now be employed for this ‘Front Line’ skirmish against this unseen Soltan turning bug.

 

- Ship wide concentrated and general scans will also be initiated as a preliminary precaution in order to detect anything strange (if possible) among the crew.

 

- For now, things are kept quiet so as not to panic the crew, and the senior officers who are aware of the situation will work towards containing any “Blue Effect”. And with regard to the Who’s Blue Question: the crew must wait and see.

[Kansas 0]

11.04.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

TBS: None

 

- The crew continues the clean up effort, and the quarantine remains in effect. So far, no crew is showing the systems associated with the Soltan Turning. The respective Dept Chiefs heads of Medical and Science have a pow wow regarding the quarantine procedures and the possible methods the Soltan turn others 'Blue'. The CO and XO are released from the medical bay on light duty only. Engineering deals with the many repairs as a result of the ship to ship battles.

[Kansas 0]

11.11.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: 36 Hours

 

- The Colonel, Commander, and Crew get some new marching orders: repair layover at a Starbase to deal with our Warp Nacelle damage along with the other things that were blown up all to heck, and then straight on into Romulan space for some sort of (we assume) sensitive mission. Next sim will start with the Agincourt reaching the border of Romulan space.

[Kansas 0]

11.18.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

The Agincourt continues forth into Romulan territory to investigate a possible Soltan presence with regard to activities and theft of Romulan property. The chief engineer has some doubts regarding her Rihan background and our mission; her senior line officer attempts to offer some comfort. A new private is slated to join Snoop Teams recon patrol squad. The Ships CO deals with the last minute logistical planning of our current mission while her XO jumps from command red to marine gray for a career change.

 

Note: Time Between Sims is a few hours. We will not be meeting on 11.25.09 due to the Holiday. The In Character scheduled senior staff/department head meeting will be Simmed on Dec 2.

[Kansas 0]

12.02.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: 3 Hours

 

The Agincourt begins the first stage of our new mission: tracking the disappearance of a number of Romulan warbirds from a scrap yard. The reason we have been 'asked" to undertake this mission? The Agincourt and her crew represent a neutral party - we can investigate what is going on without upsetting certain factions within the Romulan government.

[Kansas 0]

12/09/09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

Time Between Sims: Very Short

 

The manager of the Romulan scrap yard facility gives a tour to an away team consisting of the command team, engineering, and tactical depts; tentative plans are approached regarding tracking the missing warbirds. Some practical joke hijinks of the engineering variety ensue on the USS Agincourt, while a resident sniper questions the medical officer regarding Soltan anatomy weak points.

[Kansas 0]

12.16.09 Agincourt Mission Update:

 

TBS: One Hour

 

The away team continues to investigate over on the Rihan scrap yard port. The command team heads to a tactical planning meeting with the head of the scrap yard, while the Engineers and the CSEC head off on their own to try and stumble onto answers as to why 14 Rihan warbirds have gone missing. Ship side, it's business as usual, though the bridge staff seem mildly interested in a nearby nebula that registers on sensors.
