Mission Brief | Sky Harbor Aegis | 27 February 2015

17 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.017

 

TBS was 40 hours.

The time is 0800 hours, Aegis local.

 

Commander Brown returns to join Aegis as Intelligence Officer.

 

Commander Ramson has taken Aegean, accompanied by USS Byron and USS Imahara, to investigate the Horta’s home world and the nebula that surrounds it. At sim begin, they should be approaching the nebula.

 

Joint Task Force Aegis has spotted and is tracking the USS Vladivostok, which is under non-Starfleet control in another nebula far from Aegis space. Information is streaming to Aegis.

Mission Brief | Sky Harbor Aegis | 6 March 2015

17 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.017

 

TBS was 3 hours.

The time is 1200 hours (noon), Aegis local.

 

Aegean, trailed by USS Bryan and USS Imhara, is tracking a transport ship in the nebula. A HALO team will drop from Aegean onto the surface of the transport as it enters the planet’s atmosphere. The team will ride through the worst of the atmosphere, break away to make a standard jump to the surface, and set up a transporter beacon. Two teams of three will jump. Away Team members Cdr Ramson, Cdr Marx, and Lt Cdr Harada hope that the planet has a solid surface.

 

At sim begin, the HALO team will be ready to go.

 

On Aegis, Cdr Brown experiences the joy of intelligence reports, Mr. Roberts contemplates “Casual Sundays,” Dr. Pavilion warns Cdr Brown about trips to sick bay, Ens Jackson thinks about pastries, and the children stay out of trouble.

Mission Brief | Sky Harbor Aegis | 13 March 2015

17 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.017

 

TBS was short ~ 5 minutes.

The time is 1305 hours (1 PM), Aegis local.

 

The Aegean has tracked a transport ship to a planet within a nebula that we suspect is a center of trafficking in various goods, including Hortas. The young female Horta that is now on Aegis was rescued from a Pakled ship that passed through and stopped at this planet.

 

Aegean’s away team has made a HALO jump into the planet’s violent atmosphere. Cdr Ramson, Cdr Marx, LCdr Harada, Cdr Coleridge, SLtn Sandero, and Ltjg Tarisa were drawn into a thermocline/jetstream with shearing winds that threw them off course and scattered them across the harsh, windswept terrain. Some equipment has survived, some has not. Given the atmospheric conditions, it is possible that communication is difficult or nonexistent.

Mission Brief | Sky Harbor Aegis | 20 March 2015

17 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.017

 

TBS was short ~ 15 minutes.

The time is 1420 hours (2:20 PM), Aegis local.

 

Aegean’s HALO-jumping away team was caught in a thermocline/jetstream and scattered over the surface of a tempestuous planet. Communication is difficult, if there is any.

News of the Day:

  • Cdrs Ramson and Marx have found each other.
  • The weapons container was destroyed in the landing.
  • Tricorders are functional but not picking up anything.
  • The communication system is not working.
  • The surface is “rumbling” and unstable; cause unknown.

On Aegean, SubCdr tr’Korjata, LtCdrs Kital and Lawliet discussed ways to fix the ground-to-ship communication problem. They finally settle on modifying the main deflector to emit a saturation pulse into the lower atmosphere to create a storm that would mask the entry of two Type III probes, one close to the surface, and another above the interfering clouds, to be used as a communication relay. The down-side to the plan (ah, yes, the down-side) is the potential for a massive storm.

Mission Brief | Sky Harbor Aegis | 27 March 2015

17 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.017

 

TBS was short, 10 to 15 minutes.

The time is 1535 hours (3:35 PM), Aegis local.

 

Aegean’s away team is still scattered on the remote, unforgiving nebula planet. Probes sent to the surface by Aegean to enable ship to surface communication have initiated a severe thunderstorm that is now bearing down on the team.

 

Cdrs Ramson and Marx have dropped into a 5 km wide vented metal hole and are now investigating a Horta-sized vent. Ltjg Tarisa is investigating a cave that is occupied by workers, some miners and some menial laborers who are servicing the cave’s lighting and vending machines. Dr. Sandero has also found a cave and was using it for shelter from the storm when she found a door.

 

The rest of the away team are still scattered. The ground is rumbling, cause unknown, and a starship of unknown origin has warped into orbit and scanned the area, but it does not spot the Aegean.

  • Communications are still iffy.
  • Aegean’s sensors are 80% static, and the away team’s communicators are a faint blip in the noise.
  • The away team's weapons container was destroyed in the landing.
  • Tricorders are barely functional.

Mission Brief | Sky Harbor Aegis | 3 April 2015

17 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.017

 

This is an unofficial game.

 

TBS was 20 minutes.

The time is 1555 hours (3:55 PM), Aegis local.

 

Aegean’s away team is on a remote nebular planet to investigate the possibility that it is a way-station for trafficking and other illegal activities. Wind, torrential rain, hail, and tornadoes forced them into a subterranean labyrinth of rail cars that are operated by an extensive mining operation. Mistaken for workers, they rode swiftly through dark tunnels and emerged into a vast open geofront containing a massive city.

 

Quoting Commander Ramson, “I think we missed the tornado, but this ain't Kansas for sure.”

17 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.017

 

TBS was <1 minute.

The time is 1656 hours (4:56 PM), Aegis local.

 

Aegean’s away team, led by Cmdr Ramson, is in a large underground city on a remote nebular planet, investigating the possibility that this planet is a way-station for trafficking and other illegal activities. Their transporter beacon and the sensor module were damaged during the HALO drop, so the team is looking for repair parts. The population they encounter is diverse. The tunnels are Horta-shaped, but they have seen no Horta.

 

Aegean, still in stealth mode, has evaded the strange alien starship in orbit. Aegean has not yet established communication with the away team.

 

On Aegis, Mr. Roberts has left suddenly, called back to Caledonia for an unspecified reason. The ranking officer, Lt Cmdr Pavilion, has taken command. As soon as she took the conn, a fuzzy image of a strange ship was intercepted from social media. Ens. Jackson has been called to trace its origin.

17 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.017

 

TBS was 30 minutes.

The time is 1730 hours (5:30 PM), Aegis local.

 

In the absence of Cdr Ramson and Mr. Roberts, Lt Cdr Pavilion is in command of the station. Aegis is picking up chatter on an odd frequency in a language that is not recognized by the UT. They believe it to be connected with a totally alien craft that is the most recent hype of social media.

 

In a large underground city, on an unstable planet within a nebula, Aegean has finally made contact with Cdr Ramson and the away team, but the contact led to their discovery. Now chased by the group that detected their signal, the team is hiding in a tailor shop.

 

Cdr Cayne and Cptn Chirakis, engaged in reconnaissance in Aegis space, have detected an unknown ship and are presently tailing it.

TBS was 1 minute.

The time is 1830 hours (6:30 PM), Aegis local.

 

The tailor has furnished the away team with valuable information about the Horta. They relayed a short update to Aegean and are now following that lead. At sim begin, they are in the jeweler’s shop, giving new meaning to the word “bling” and extracting information from the jeweler despite his superior attitude.

 

Drakkor followed the alien ship through a nebula close to Aegis space. The ship stopped at a planetoid where it exchanged cargo pods with a Pakled ship. The Pakleds moved in one direction, the alien ship moved in another, shooting through the nebula and away from Aegis. Lt Cdr Pavilion, Officer In Charge, is relieved.

Mission Brief | Sky Harbor Aegis | 1 May 2015

18 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.017

 

TBS was 11 hours.

The time is 0730 hours, Aegis local.

 

The away team is in an immense city beneath the planet’s surface, and making progress in their investigation. Hints of pre-Breen occupation of the city have come from several contacts. Their mission to assess threats to the sector and those under the protection of Aegis and to discover the origins of Aegis’ resident Horta is slowly coming together.

 

The away team’s check-in transmission to Aegean was intercepted by a stealth craft the size of a fighter. Conversely, the fighter in orbit has detected a cloaked ship and identified it as the Aegean.

 

On Aegis, the situation is normal. Aegis normal, that is. The image of the “Frankenship” is still circulating, probably having gone around the galaxy several million times.

18 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.017

 

TBS was 2 hours.

The time is 1030 hours, Aegis local.

 

Drakkor intercepted another transmission from the away team and took note of their transport problem. Since Aegean’s mission is not within Drakkor’s mission parameters, Cayne and Chirakis are sitting tight with the freighter they are watching.

 

Commander Ramson will be meeting with the vehicle dealer’s “friend,” looking for information on the Horta. The rest of the away team will be gathering information from the locals and keeping the beacon ready for beamout. They are considering the possibility that these unidentified ships could have something to do with the Breen power vacuum.

 

Another alien ship, this time a transport, is sighted moving through a nebula on the outskirts of Aegis space. Sightseers and media are beginning to flock to that area, putting themselves in danger. Lt Cdr Pavilion sends an alert to SFHQ, requesting the presence of Aegis Task Force.

TBS was 1 hour.

The time is 1230 hours, Aegis local.

 

USS Missouri is tracking the same alien ship that has been lurking in a nebula just outside Aegis space. Captain d’Ka made a brief visit to Lt Cdr Pavilion.

 

Cdr Ramson was to meet with someone who might have information about the Horta. Her last transmission to the away team was, “I’ll contact you when I….”

 

Led by Cdr Coleridge, the away team enters a seedy bar looking for unusual work. After some discussion, the barkeep hands them a brown bag, saying, “Take this to Garny, on Q Street. Don’t open it. Don’t lose it. Those that fail this test won’t get a second chance. At anything.”

 

While monitoring a freighter from orbit, Captain Chirakis and Commander Cayne intercepted Ramson’s last transmission to the away team and are concerned.

Mission Brief | Sky Harbor Aegis | 22 May 2015

18 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.018

 

TBS was 10 minutes.

The time is 1340 hours—1:30 pm—Aegis local.

 

Clearing the Cobwebs:

 

Aegean is on a mission from Aegis, to determine the connection between a Horta that is presently on Aegis and its point of origin: a planet within a nebula just outside Aegis space.

 

Drakkor is on a mission from Rendezvous October, a covert Starfleet Intelligence base. Piloted by Chirakis and directed by Cdr Wyatt Cayne, Drakkor’s mission is to find and follow alien ships that have been cruising through nebulae in Allied space, and to determine their destination and purpose. Cayne and Chirakis just happen to have followed one alien freighter to the same planet Aegean orbits.

 

Aegean is cloaked; Drakkor is in stealth mode.

Aegean knows that there is a fighter close by, but they are not aware of its identity.

Drakkor is fully aware that the cloaked vessel in orbit is Aegean.

 

USS Missouri is on a mission to rescue the captured crew of USS Vladivostok, an Oberth class science vessel that was hijacked over 3 weeks ago while investigating strange signals—emanating from a nebula. Missouri is following a lead given to SFIntel by an escaped crew member. Their ETA is 4 hours.

 

Aegis is on its usual mission of staying in one piece. In the absence of Chirakis, Roberts, and Ramson, Lt Cdr Mimi Pavilion is presently in command. Because of the strange freighter that was lurking—in a nebula just outside Aegis space— Task Force Aegis has been stationed close by.

 

Do we see a pattern here?

 

Moving Forward:

 

Aegean’s away team is on the “Horta planet” hunting for a connection between Aegis’ kidnapped Horta and its place of origin. Having just passed a “test” given to them by a person of questionable character, they now hope to meet a mysterious person who will give them information. The team leader, Commander Ramson, has not been heard from since her morning meeting.

 

Aegean was cloaked and in orbit when Lt Cdr Kital suddenly went missing. Lt Cdr Lawliet and SubCommander Korjata have not been able to locate her and now must decide if they should jeopardize their mission to find her.

 

On Drakkor, Chirakis and Cayne detected a massive energy burst, origin and type unknown. Upon scanning Aegean for life signs, they noticed one crew person missing but could not determine the identity. Not knowing Aegean’s mission, and concerned that the energy burst could be part of their mission strategy, they have not contacted Aegean or the away team.

TBS was 10 minutes.

The time is 1450 hours—2:50 pm—Aegis local.

 

CDRs Ramson and Kital are being questioned by a planet administrator, who asks them why there is a cloaked Federation ship in orbit. He calls their planet An-Ward and said that the Horta left of their own will or face punishment for their crimes.

 

LTN Sandero and LTjg Tarisa are being held at gunpoint by a mysterious person called “Garny,” who became alarmed when they asked about special mining equipment shaped like rocks.

The time is 1800 hours—6:00 pm—Aegis local.

 

Drakkor is docked with Aegean. The alien freighter they are watching is shut down on the planetary landing strip.

 

The away team has received conflicting stories. The Guild Administrator told Ramson and Kital that the Horta have broken the law and are facing justice. The Horta, Garny, has told Coleridge, Sandero, and Tarisa that their species is fleeing genocide.

 

The away team has returned to Aegean. Cdr Coleridge is watching closely to prevent another unwanted beam-out.

19 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.019

TBS was 12 hours.

The time is 0600 hours—6:00 am—Aegis local.

 

The crew of Aegean, along with Cayne and Chirakis, met to discuss findings from their planetary adventure. Tension between the Horta and the Guild was discussed, as well as the possibility of a third party interference.

 

What we know:

  • The technology used to beam LtCdr Kital from Aegean used a dimensional fold, leading us to believe that it might have been taken from the Breen.
  • There is a large, organized city beneath the surface. Their technology is borrowed. Black market is suspected.
  • The Administrator says the Horta are criminals. He has made an overture for relations with the Allies.
  • The Horta believe they are being exterminated and are asking for asylum.
  • The alien freighter on the Horta planet is difficult to scan, adding to the suspicion of third party interference.

TBS was 4 days.

The time is 0600 hours—6:00 am—Aegis local.

 

Aegean is still in orbit of An-Ward, a planet with a large, well established city below the surface. Two vying groups among a varied population have come to the fore: the Horta and The Guild. The away team has made contact with both via the Horta, Garny, and the administrator of The Guild.

 

Commander Ramson has formed a second away team to beam to the planet for further investigation. Commander Coleridge is in command of Aegean. While Commander Cayne, SI-6, goes with the away team to investigate the presence of an alien ship, Captain Chirakis will stay on Aegean to keep Commander Coleridge company.

 

The USS Missouri has rescued the crew of USS Vladivostok. They are presently en route to Aegis, their home base and the closest base with a medical section capable of treating Vladivostok’s crew.

[This is an unofficial game. Attendance is not mandatory.]

 

TBS was 3 days.

The time is 1800 hours—6:00 pm—Aegis local.

 

The Aegean has been back on Aegis for 12 hours. The crew is settling back into a routine.

Captain Ramson is in Command.

Captain Chirakis and Commander Cayne are aboard until further notice.

 

The Guild delegates are settled into their quarters and are receiving the “full guest treatment.”

 

With the expertise of Aegis’ medical staff, several of Vladivostok’s crew have shown significant progress in recovery. Most will be released in a few days, but will remain under psychiatric care. Alexis McFarland and Annisha t’Korjata have been released and remanded to their parents’ strict supervision.

 

Dr. Pavilion has asked for assistance from the science department to determine what types of flora and fauna made the crew ill. Admiral DeJariov has returned to Starfleet Medical Headquarters on Earth with her report.

27 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.027

 

TBS was 17 hours.

The time is 1200 hours—12:00 pm—Aegis local.

 

It is our first full day back on Aegis and things are unsettled, with command changes, the possibility of contagion from the crew of USS Vladivostok, and new people joining the crew.

 

Captain Ramson is settling into her new position as commanding officer. Commander Coleridge is reeling from the shock of his new assignment as executive officer. Captain Chirakis has decided that, for once, SI-5 has shown some wisdom in charging her with the security of a strategic base on the edge of nowhere.

 

In other news, LtCdr Lawliet and Drs. Pavilion, Sandero, and Schawnsee are examining the alien “food” brought to the station with the crew of USS Vladivostok. Their main objectives are to determine the exact content, find out how and why the crew was affected adversely by it, and hopefully determine its origins—with the ulterior objective of finding where the aliens came from.

 

With SubCommander Jorahl stationed at the shipyard and Commander Coleridge as executive officer, SubCommander Korjata is OIC of engineering. That, along with the shenanigans of his daughter, Annisha, and you have the makings of one stressed-out engineer, so please — no one break anything.

29 January 2388 - Stardate 2388.029

 

TBS was 48 hours.

The time is 1300 hours—1:00 pm—Aegis local.

 

Captain Ramson is preparing for negotiations with the Guild representatives from An-Ward, keeping in mind that they may try something because of the Horta on board, whom they consider a wanted criminal. The Guild representatives are receiving the VIP treatment and the Imahara was left behind to monitor activity on their planet.

 

LtCdr Lawliet and Ltjg Tarisa have been testing the substance that caused the Vladivostok illness. They are investigating the possibility of an allergic reaction to a virus-like substance in the alien food. From USS Missouri, we know that the crew is not contagious — good news for Aegis personnel.

 

With the shift in command, SubCommander Korjata is now Senior Officer and Officer in Charge of engineering. As if things were not complicated enough, Captain Chirakis informed him that Annisha’s parents are alive. She cautions him that, for her safety, he should not to tell Annisha or anyone else, and that Annisha should place the amulet of her Rihan house in a “place of honor” instead of wearing it.

Representatives of the An-Ward Guild are preparing for negotiations with the Federation. Dr. Pavilion is formulating a plan to move the Horta quickly and safely in case the Guild decides to claim her as a fugitive from justice.

 

LtCdr Lawliet has delivered the test results of the Vladivostok virus to Dr. Pavilion.

 

A sealed area of cargo module Alpha:section 25 has been unsealed. The area is on lockdown. A security team is enroute.

Two supposedly inactive mining droids broke seals on their cargo pods and began exploring. They are equipped with plasma torches, are heavily shielded, and have no “off” command that we know of. Attempts to vent them to space resulted in one droid attaching itself to Aegis’ outer hull, and the other exploring the corridor outside the cargo bay. Cdr Cayne, his security team, and an engineering team have escaped the area.

 

All cargo bays in the vicinity are on lockdown and confinement fields are up. Shipping lanes have been cleared; all vessel traffic to and from Aegis is temporarily suspended.

 

In the meantime, Drs. Pavilion, Sandero, and Schawnsee are preparing to move the Horta and her egg to a safe location, specifically out of the reach of The Guild. They have a plan ready and are waiting for approval.

It has been one full hour of tension as we continue our quest to contain two rampaging droids.

The station is at yellow alert.

The Guild are now suspect for several reasons.

One droid focused its attention away from the station and shot beyond the fighters. Could it be moving toward the Nei’rrh, where Dr. Schawnsee is transporting the Horta and her egg to safety?

We are on the alert—watching and waiting.
