Having returned to Starbase 46, Excalibur is undergoing repairs to its computer core. Initial leave for commissioned officers has been put on hold as command staff has ordered them to complete mandatory re-training on either first contact procedures (medical, science, security) or protocols for working with alien technology (operations and engineering).  However, Swain and Stanton were called to an early morning meeting aboard the station, and rumors are circulating we will once again be shipped off to who knows where.

Excalibur has been docked at starbase for several days while station engineering assisted in untangling their computer core. After a brief delay and some retraining, the crew was given 24-hours of leave. With the exception of a certain Ensign in science, who may never be allowed to leave the ship again. We pick up with the crew being recalled and a senior staff meeting scheduled to discuss new orders.

Excalibur is arriving in orbit of Tolen IV, where we'll get our first good look at the planet. A reception has been planned for later this evening, with heightened security measures.

Excalibur has arrived in orbit of Tolen IV where they are to help mediate a settlement between the government and a group of individuals who wish to take the planet in a more independent direction. To engender ourselves to them and show we can be neutral, we have arranged for a diplomatic reception to be held aboard. As we left off, the dignitaries we were beginning to arrive.

Excalibur is in orbit of Tolen IV where they have been hosting a diplomatic reception ahead of further diplomatic talks on the planet between the government and separatists -- however, William, Maryse, Irene, Rex, and Indura have been pulled out of the reception suddenly for a briefing.

A team from Excalibur has been selected to head up a check on/rescue mission of an archaeological team that has missed two check ins. As we pick up, the crew, aboard the Captain's yacht, are about to cross the neutral zone, because there's always something isn't there.

The Away Team is approaching the planet and preparing to land.  Once they land, Chief Rex has ordered them to split into two teams to search for the missing science group.

Excalibur's away team has arrived on the cold, damp planet searching for a missing science team. Team Rex is headed to the base camp, while Team Irene is headed for the dig site.

MISSION BRIEF: To everyone's surprise, because y'all don't trust me apparently, the Excalibur AT has found the science team in alive and well. Science nerds are helping out, while Medical tends to a wounded science team member and engineering attempts to help with some battery and latrine issues.

The "rescue" team has found the science team remarkably intact, but they do need some help! Will, Maryse and Rex are working at the man camp to help with a battery problem. Indaura and Irene are working with the science team on samples while Reynolds makes repairs to their transmitter.

On the planet, we have a new situation. -- the shuttle's power supply is seemingly having the same problem as the science team's battery. Meanwhile, Irene and Indura are going on an adventure.

So, things are not going exactly according to plan, but you know when has an Excalibur mission actually gone according to plan? 2006? Anyway, Rex is returning for the possibly crippled shuttle to see what's next while Team Irene continues their adventure. Also Maryse has continued to be the Good Doctor and has been treating one of the science expedition members who broke their leg digging a latrine. Questions?

The science team discovered some woo-woo crystals that deff used a good chunk of the budget; meanwhile the other team is working to find out what is causing the electrical storage systems to fail. Maryse and security, while getting our supplies from the shuttle, found a cache of supplies left by Captain Swain.

Excalibur's away team has continued to work to find the reason behind the energy drain to batteries, which seems to have also affected the yacht's power systems. They did, however, find a cache of secret supplies stored aboard, likely, by the Captain. As evening has enveloped the planet, Commander Rex suggested an old fashioned campfire with the science team, as it looks like all of us could be here a while.

After a fun night around the campfire, the Excalibur team has awaken to a lovely, damp, cold day on what is rapidly becoming a 2 hour tour of an away mission. They now must focus on trying to find a solution to the power drain on the yacht an other electronics, as they have no way of knowing if their message for additional assistance made it out or not.

The engineering team continues to work on the shuttle too see if they can determine how to prevent further battery drain; while science and medical head down into the crystal caves.

The team in the caves have taken several samples of smaller crystals back with them to the surface, while on the yacht engineering has made some preliminary steps towards reversing the loss of power, in particular towards being able to restart the warp core. Meanwhile, Lt. Cmdr Rex has continued to nap.

Excalibur's "rescue team" -- now in need of rescue of their own -- have devised a plan to use crystals from the planet's cave system to re-energize their yachts systems. Will it work, or will they become residents of the cold, foggy planet?

The away team has been rigging a system using crystals on the planet to restart the yachts warp core while also working repair the science team's communications array.  As we pick up, the team is preparing to attempt the restart.

Having concluded their diplomatic mission and recovered their away team from their mission to the neutral zone, Excalibur is en route to Starbase 37 Tango for a short layover and "refill" before they are to embark on a patrol of the Agape sector along the neutral zone. Sparsely populated the Agape sector is of strategic importance due to the presence of a secret Federation long-range listening post.

Excalibur is underway for a routine patrol of the Agape sector along the neutral zone, where there have been few reports of anything of remotely interesting value for nearly a year. Science has been tasked with coming up with a list of interstellar phenomena in the sector to study, while everyone else is getting time to put away all the crap we got at starbase.

Excalibur is beginning it's patrol of the Agape sector where things have been relatively quiet as of late. Science has made a wish list of systems for us to check out while we're here, and we're headed to the second one on the list as we pick up -- a lovely class III gas moon in orbit of an unpopulated M-class world. The moon has been identified as a possible source of tavana gas.

The Excalibur's patrol of the Agape sector has been sidetracked, with the ship being redirected to route to Dourup IV, a mostly Tellarite colony near the Romulan Neutral Zone. The colony is suffering from an outbreak of d’kar fever, a potentially lethal disease; medical is working produce enough anti-viral for the colony, while security is working on plans for relief efforts.
