Mission Brief | Sky Harbor Aegis | 19 February 2016

6 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.037

 

TBS was 2 hours.

The time is 1600 hours, 4 pm Aegis local.

 

Captain Ramson has returned to duty. The concern that she could have been a spy has brought up a poignant and valid issue regarding spies. She and Commander Coleridge discussed the lack of concern that Starfleet seems to have regarding this area of space. They also discussed the possibility of forming alliances with some of the newer, more friendly species that have recently appeared, citing that “if Starfleet isn’t going to back us up, we need to build better bridges with the neighbors.” The new leadership on An-Ward is being considered as a possibility, along with strange new species that has found refuge in the engineering section.

 

To that end, Commander Coleridge has returned to engineering to investigate that strange entity. It continues to sap energy from one of the reactors and periodically appears as a mist, or fog. It sometimes takes a humanoid shape and has succeeded in producing a few intelligible words, especially the words “positive” and “negative”.

7 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.038

 

TBS was 13 hours.

The time is 0600 hours, 6 am Aegis local.

It is the beginning of Alpha Shift.

 

Cpt Ramson has found out that her double, built by the Treevians, was a good likeness but did not fool the crew completely.

 

Concerned that the entity in engineering might be a problem during an emergency, Captain Ramson has called for station drills to test how it reacts.

 

Dr. Pavilion, LtCdr Lawliet, and Lt Tarisa visited the entity in engineering. It is communicating in rudimentary Federation Standard.

The time is 1700 hours—5:00 pm Aegis local.

 

Captain Ramson ponders keeping or destroying our "guest". She decides to set reactor 3 to the entity’s preferred energy output and restrict that area to essential personnel.

 

SubCommander tr’Korjata is in sick bay, recovering from having inadvertently touched the entity.

TBS was 16 hours.

The time is 1000 hours (10:00 am) Aegis local.

 

Previously on Sky Harbor Aegis:

 

Captains Ramson & Chirakis discussed the Alliance fleet and their options for protecting the station. Special consideration is given to the possibility that Starfleet &/or the Federation will not be in a position to come to our aid, and we may have to fend for ourselves.

 

Our resident “guest” attempted to get the “don’t touch” point across to Commander Coleridge, Lt Tarisa, and LtCdr Lawliet. We will see if it succeeded.

 

SubCommander Korjata awoke hungry. He is now at home, recuperating.

8 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.039

[This is an unofficial sim due to the holiday weekend.]

 

TBS was 1 hour.

The time is 1200 hours (noon) Aegis local.

 

The USS Byron, a Zumwalt Class Stealth Destroyer that was monitoring the area around An-Ward, has stopped transmitting. A debris field has been detected in the area of their last reported location.

 

Captain Ramson has received a preliminary plan for independent defense of the station.

 

Shadow makes contact with Lt Tarisa. He calls himself a “seeker” and asks for Tarisa’s help in learning about biologicals.

8 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.039

TBS was 2 hours.

The time is 1500 hours (3:00 pm) Aegis local.

 

Command is continuing to assess the defensive capability of Aegis if they must defend themselves alone when attacked. So far, their best bet is to rely on Aegis’ own defenses, bolstered by a “homegrown militia”: the defensive fleet that Nero and his mining consortium have amassed to protect their mining claims.

 

The debris found near An-Ward has insufficient mass for a starship and is not standard Federation material—therefore, it cannot be the USS Byron. A probe sent to investigate the debris more closely mysteriously disappeared.

 

A Mithraan delegation has arrived to conduct the final phase of Lieutenant Tarisa’s Keywah.

8 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.039

 

TBS was 30 minutes.

The time is 1630 hours (4:30 pm) Aegis local.

 

Previously on Sky Harbor Aegis:

The search continued for the USS Byron, the Zumwalt Class Stealth Destroyer that disappeared while monitoring the area around An-Ward. Data from the probe still active in that area showed USS Byron passing through an asteroid as if the asteroid was not there. Information gathered seems to create more questions than answers.

 

At sim end, Cdr Coleridge suggested stirring the pot a little. The powerless probe still in theater has been rigged to self-destruct to see if that draws anything out to investigate.

 

In other news:

In their quest for assistance in the event of an attack, Nero (and his considerable armada used by the mining consortium in the asteroid field) has vowed, in a cryptic statement, to defend the station and sector from the yikh. Dr. Nagi, chief archaeologist on TKR-117, is reluctant to establish a base on that planet and will rely on the planetary shield for defense. RES Praetor, Joint Allied Forces, has not replied.

 

The Mithraan delegation has settled into their VIP quarters.

9 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.040

 

TBS was 12.5 hours.

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

 

The mystery of the USS Byron continues. They were on a set patrol route when they failed to check in. Are they or are they not in danger? If they are, is Aegis in a position to assist? If they are not, and are running in stealth mode, would we be compromising their mission? In answer to these questions, we know that we do not have the technology to find or defend such a technologically advanced stealth destroyer. Also, pulling our already-thin defense resources away from the station puts the station in immediate danger.

 

Several devices—both military and private—on Aegis are experiencing low level interference. Engineering has determined that the interference is coming from an external source. Investigations continue.

9 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.040

 

TBS was 5 hours.

The time is 1200 hours (noon) Aegis local.

 

The probe sent into the An-Ward system to investigate the disappearance of the USS Byron brings disturbing news. Ships of the Alien Alliance fleet—some we have seen and some we have not seen—orbit the planet.

 

An-Ward sits within Nebula 236A, one of a string of nebulae that form an easy clandestine path through Joint Allied space to the former Breen Confederacy. The Breen demise has left a power vacuum, in which several previously-unknown species have formed an alliance and ventured into Joint Allied space.

 

To compound the issue, Science and Engineering have pinpointed the source of the low-level interference that has been plaguing audio devices on the station. It is within Nebula 236A, near the planet An-Ward. Two main species—the Guild and the Horta—are in a rivalry gridlock. The Guild has had representatives on Aegis for six weeks, presumably negotiating a treaty.

 

The Nei’rrh is being readied for a trip toward An-Ward to investigate.

10 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.041

 

TBS was 17 hours.

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

 

SubCommander Korjata, Lieutenant Commander Lawliet, and Lieutenant Tarisa have departed in the Nei’rrh. They are bound for nebula 236A, tasked with finding Starfleet’s Zumwalt Class stealth destroyer, USS Byron, and retrieving any information the USS Byron has on what the effect, weapon, or whatever was used on them.

 

At sim begin the Nei’rrh will be 3 to 4 hours away from the last recorded location of the USS Byron.

 

Starfleet Command considers the crew of USS Byron lost and has ordered Captain Ramson not to expend additional resources should the Nei’rrh meet a similar fate. To this end, Ramson has followed the letter of the orders exactly—and given Captain Chirakis and Commander Coleridge the task of developing a resource-less rescue plan.

Nei’rrh is entering nebula 236A, tasked with finding Starfleet’s Zumwalt Class stealth destroyer, USS Byron, and retrieving any information they can regarding what disabled it and how.

 

Starfleet Command considers the crew of USS Byron lost and has ordered Captain Ramson not to expend additional resources should the Nei’rrh meet a similar fate. To this end, Ramson has followed the letter of the orders exactly. Captain Chirakis and Commander Coleridge are in the process of developing a resource-less rescue plan.

 

Captain Ramson has received highly classified information from an unspecified source, but one whom Captain Chirakis trusts “above all others”.

 

The Administrator of An-Ward has been found dead in his VIP quarters. The two remaining members of the delegation are missing. The station is on lockdown. A full investigation is underway.

TBS was 1 hour.

The time is 1200 hours (noon) Aegis local.

 

SubCommander Korjata, Lt Cdr Lawliet, and Lt Tarisa are aboard Nei’rrh, searching Nebula 236A for signs of the stealth destroyer USS Byron. The fate of the crew is unknown, but Starfleet presumes them dead. Since Starfleet will disavow any connection to the SAR and Captain Ramson has been ordered to send no rescue ships from Aegis, a “resource-less” rescue plan for Nei’rrh is taking shape.

 

Investigation into the death of the An-Ward Administrator and a search for the two other delegates is ongoing. So far Dr. Pavilion has found broken vertebrae, a skull injury caused by a blunt object, no evidence of drugs, a strange powder residue around his mouth and in his bloodstream, traces of an odd DNA sequence, and traces of an unknown metal. A blood sample from the scene did not match the Administrator’s.

 

Security on scene reported that a frontal attack was apparent and there was no evidence of struggle, suggesting that the Administrator might have known his attacker. There are no security cameras in VIP quarters, and the security cameras outside were blocked from recording.

 

The station is on lockdown. No one may leave. Inbound ships are either turned away or in a holding pattern.

TBS was 30 minutes.

The time is 1330 hours (1:30 PM) Aegis local.

 

Chaos breaks out on the station. So far, an escape pod launched from a civilian area of the station; a power surge similar to a transporter was detected from the pod; a shuttle is missing from the bay; something piggybacked on the security team’s transporter signal to the freighter Afikts Jaundil; and a fighter broke from the squadron and went to warp outside the asteroid field.

 

We can assume that most, or even all of these events are decoys. We should expect more decoys and separate the decoys from the real threat.

 

Nei’rrh continues to hunt for the stealth destroyer USS Byron in nebula 236A.

The time is 1500 hours (3:00 PM) Aegis local.

 

Chaos continues. Whoever compromised the station has a powerful, but limited ability. The bypass that caused escape pod launch, shuttle bay security failure, and fighter malfunction was set approximately two weeks ago, the time when the An-Ward delegation came aboard.

 

The fighter that was drawn off course is now back on the station, as is the pilot.

 

The two missing An-Ward delegates have not been found. Investigation into the An-Ward Ambassador’s assassination is ongoing.

 

The Nei’rrh has found the USS Byron dead in space, not far from An-Ward. A chroniton explosion has rocked the craft, source or origin unknown.

11 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.042

 

TBS was 14 hours.

The time is 0600 hours (6:00 AM) Aegis local.

 

Under cloak near An-Ward, Nei’rrh has found USS Byron dead in space. To covertly inform Aegis of their status, they have launched a probe that will send the music for “At Last” and “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for”, minus the lyrics.

 

Aegis command is investigating several strange occurrences, especially a fighter that acted on its own but was in pilot control the entire time. The pilot insists that she “had to” but she has no idea why. A shuttle is also missing, as is an escape pod that launched by itself.

 

Because there were severe disagreements among the An-Ward delegates, it is suspected that one of the missing delegates murdered the An-Ward Administrator and that they are both hiding. A search of remote areas of the station is now underway.

TBS was 10 minutes.

The time is 0710 hours (7:10 AM) Aegis local.

 

Having found the USS Byron dead in space, the crew of Nei’rrh boarded her and found a computer-like device controlling it. Nei’rrh’s crew escaped just before the computer completed its programming and left the nebula, its course set for Aegis. With Nei’rrh’s engines and communications damaged by the Byron, Nei’rrh was neither able to pursue or warn Aegis.

 

Commander Coleridge is preparing the Aegean for use in tracking suspicious activity. He and Commander Cayne are searching the more nefarious areas of the station for the two missing An-Ward delegates.

 

In other news, our youngest Mithraan, Miana, has overdosed on junk food and is paying the price.

LtCdr Kital experiences her first command.

The USS Byron has been detected en route to Aegis, but not in stealth mode. We find this strange because Nei’rrh, that was sent to find them, is nowhere to be found.

 

Commander Coleridge is using Aegean’s more powerful sensors to scan Aegis in an attempt to find the missing An-Ward the delegates, one of whom is a suspected murderer. They have not found the delegates, but they have found some interesting leads.

 

Dr. Pavilion has begun to examine Lt Chron. Since the pilot has not slept since taking her fighter away from Aegis, she is given a sedative.

TBS was 8 hours.

The time is 0400 hours (4:00 AM) Aegis local.

 

USS Byron is bearing down on Aegis; fighters have been dispatched to intercept. Because the Byron is a highly classified stealth vessel, her access codes are not available. The Byron has complied with Captain Ramson’s order to alter course and rendezvous at certain coordinates.

 

Nei’rrh is in hot pursuit of USS Byron at warp 9. Their propulsion systems have been repaired, but they are still without communications, and unable to contact Aegis.

 

On Aegis, the speaker on the USS Byron reported seeing a small, agile craft, and debris of Romulan origin in the nebula, leading us to believe that Nei’rrh has been destroyed.

 

USS Missouri has altered course to intercept USS Byron at Captain Ramson’s designated coordinates. At sim begin, Missouri, Warren, and Tsinghua have rendezvoused and are holding position.

12 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.042

 

There was no TBS.

The time is 0500 hours (5:00 AM) Aegis local.

 

Mission Recap:

The USS Byron, one of Starfleet’s stealth destroyers, was reported missing in the vicinity of An-Ward in Nebula 236A. The ship was hit by something that incapacitated it and knocked it into a phased state.

 

Nei’rrh was sent to investigate Byron’s disappearance. Their probe detected the ship’s presence, after which the probe was phased. Byron eventually unphased, SuCom Korjata and SrLt Tarisa boarded, the crew was missing, and the ship was commanded by an AI. Shortly thereafter the Byron left on a direct course Aegis. When detected, Aegis deployed fighters to intercept.

 

When Nei’rrh attempted to stop the Byron, Nei’rrh’s engines and communication systems were disabled by a strange burst of energy. The engines were soon repaired, but communications were still inoperable when Nei’rrh pursued USS Byron at maximum warp.

 

At the request of Captain Ramson, USS Byron agreed to rendezvous with USS Missouri. Missouri was preparing to board Byron when Nei’rrh dropped from warp and attacked the Byron. With the Nei’rrh unable to receive or transmit communications, they have been declared hostile until proven otherwise.

 

At present:

Nei’rrh is attacking the Byron.

Byron is retaliating against Nei’rrh, Aegis’ fighters, and Missouri.

Missouri and Aegis’ fighters are defending Byron against Nei’rrh’s attacks.

USS Warren, that accompanied the Missouri, is coming to Missouri’s aid against the Nei’rrh

The heavily armed frigate, Tsinghua, is standing by, ready to respond at Missouri’s call.

TBS is 1 hour.

The time is 0700 hours (7:00 AM) Aegis local.

 

USS Byron has exploded its chroniton bomb on the edge of Aegis space. USS Warren, the majority of Aegis’ fighters, the defense grid, and the asteroid field have been phased by the chroniton bomb. Aegis is without major defensive capabilities.

 

USS Missouri is on high alert, en route to Aegis, due to arrive at sim begin. SubCommander Korjata, Sr Lieutenant Tarisa, and LtCdr Lawliet are aboard, as is Nei’rrh. Lt Col Anastis’s Nightmares have picked the Nei’rrh apart, and were unable to find anything that could be a threat to Missouri or Aegis.

13 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.044

 

TBS is 24 hours.

The time is 0800 hours (8:00 AM) Aegis local.

 

There is a gaping hole in Aegis’ defenses due to the Alien Alliance’s chroniton bomb that phased Frontier Task Force ships, Aegis’ fighters, and most of the asteroid belt, which housed the defense grid. As the Alien Alliance closes in, USS Missouri has assumed a defensive position and plans a diversionary attack to buy the station time. Captain Ramson has acquired a complete list of qualified pilots and available craft to bolster that defense, and several allies have offered their assistance.

 

In the meantime, engineering, science, and medical are collaborating to get the Starfleet craft dephased. Anyon emitters, known to neutralize chroniton bombs, are being installed around the station. SubCommander Korjata cautions that the anyon grid is only effective when the entire grid is engaged. Otherwise, partial phasing of the station can occur.

 

At sim begin, Captain Ramson will be addressing those on the station.

The time is 1000 hours (10:00 AM) Aegis local.

 

Commander Coleridge is the Officer in Charge while Captain Ramson confers privately with an unknown source.

 

The Alien Alliance fleet has inexplicably stopped short of Aegis space, and well short of USS Missouri and her fighters. In preparation for the attack, anyon emitters have been deployed around the station to guard against the aliens’ chroniton bomb. Aegean, 2 Aegean Class starships, Nei’rrh, and Aegis’ remaining fighters are ready. High Elder Danu has summoned the Mithraan fleet to assist.

 

At sim begin, Captain Ramson will address the crew.

The time is 1115 hours (11:15 AM) Aegis local.

 

All resources available have engaged the Alien Alliance fleet: 16 ships of different design, along with 50 fighters.

 

Everyone who is able to assist in defending the station, all flight-qualified personnel, and all available spacecraft have been conscripted. Anyon emitters to guard against chroniton bombs are active.

 

The Mithraan Defense Force is en route. The RSE has deployed a task force.

 

Lt Cmdr (Dr) Pavilion is in command of Aegis.

Captain Ramson is aboard Aegean with SrLt Tarisa.

Lt Cmdr Kital commands Aegean Alpha; SubCommander Korjata is XO.

SubCommander Jorahl commands Aegean Beta.

13 February 2388 - Stardate 2388.044

 

TBS is 10 minutes.

The time is 1225 hours (12:25 PM) Aegis local.

 

Aegis fleet engaged the Alien Alliance. The odds were in their favor until Missouri was able to destroy to Alien starships with a powerful torpedo-like weapon that requires the access codes of two line officers.

 

Previously phased starcraft and asteroids began to dephase during the battle, making it hard for Aegis' fighters and starships to maneuver around them as they suddenly appear in the line of fire. The unphased craft are without power and unable to maneuver until refueling by Aegis’ shuttles. USS Tsinghua has taken up a defensive position.

 

At sim begin, the Alliance fleet is moving toward Aegis. The Aegean, Alpha, and Beta have taken up trailing positions to fire on the Alien Alliance six. Aegis fighters attack their 12. But still they come.
