I do believe it is Independence Day for my Northern living crew. I hope the day was filled with family and friends.

I also happens to be the 24th anniversary of this fleet forming. Yes we've been around THAT long, there are a handful of us who have been around since those early days.

Leaving thoughts of middle age and decrepitness aside, please see the below anniversary link..there's some cool stuff going on there :)

Jenna stood at the edge of the bay, a force field the only thing separating her from the sky outside the Sunfire. They were above the clouds but below the horizon line, splitting like a line in the sky. Above, the cold, peaceful, vastness of space. Below, gray cumulonimbus clouds billowed with occasional streaks of purple and white lightning. The storms had picked up their roll across the depth of the field.

Nodding her head, she turned and tapped her badge, "Ramthorne to all teams, Mount up, it's time to move out. Flight Captain's relay, let's move." She closed the…

Sickbay

In Sickbay Aurora was resting, she was reading one of her books with a drink and some nibbles to hand if she fancied them. She was grateful to be feeling more like herself again, she was hoping for some peace for a while after their mission was done.

After leaving Rhenora, Savar went to Sickbay to spent time with Aurora. She was recovering well but still not able to return to their quarters. Entering Sickbay he saw her reading one of her books. "Hello Aurora." He greeted her, "If this is an inopportune time, I can come back later."…

By the end of the shift things were looking decidedly more promising from all angles. One the ship Dr Tarsis had developed a working antidote and was now conducting more trials to ensure its effectiveness. Once complete he planned on turning into a vaccine to prevent those not infected on the planet from the pathogen. He awaited the medical ship with baited breath, wanting a second opinion on several key compounds before mass replicating the antidote for the population on the planet below them.

The shuttle had two more grids to scan before making their way back to the ship,…

Medical Lab

Dr Tarsis worked tirelessly for hours to save Dr Wilson, with only the Captain and Savar to assist. They couldn't risk any further exposure to the rest of the crew.

After a few moments, then a few minutes without any critical alarms blaring, the good doctor dared to breathe. "I think she'll be ok. It will be a while until she's out of the woods though."

Meanwhile Dean and Aurora were still behind the quarantine field, infected but naturally immune.
"Alright you two, let's get back to our antidote. I have a working trial serum and need a…

Captain Kaylen Rhenora left the ready room with the shuttles all on their way back and a plan to resume relocating the Masimal uninfected to clean zones in the morning. The shuttle crews had done an amazing job in scanning and picking up the locals, dropping them in a large camp that the engineers had set up, supplemented by medical and logistical staff. It seemed as though things were finally starting to go their way.

Heading down to the medical labs, she planned on reminding those there that there were rest regulations that should be adhered to. It was the…


Latest Personal Logs

» Back On the Sunfire

Posted on Fri Mar 28th, 2025 @ 2:50pm by 1st Lieutenant Freya Score

Freya stood at the viewport in her quarters, her gaze transfixed on the streaking stars that raced by as the USS Sunfire traversed through warp space. Each shimmering point of light reminded her of the vastness of the universe, yet the familiar hum of the ship's engines, usually a source of comfort, now felt unsettlingly distant. A soft chime from her PADD interrupted her thoughts—a notification indicating that her transport to the nearest starbase was ready.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Freya activated her personal log, her voice steady yet laced with emotion.

"This is 1st Lieutenant Freya…

Commander's log, situation report. The Sunfire was systematically attacked by an unknown, un-seen assailant. We are still searching the ship for a complete list of our missing crewmembers. They were able to pull us out of warp and transport over under some sort of personal cloaking system.

Speculation at this point is not helpful, but the only species I've met with that sort of cloaking tech is the Jem' Hadar. It churns my stomach to know how efficiently they were able to enter, take our people and leave. What's worse is that we do not yet know why, only guesses.…

Freya stood at the viewport in her quarters, her gaze fixed on the streaking stars as the USS Sunfire sailed through warp. The familiar hum of the ship, usually so comforting, now seemed distant. A notification on her padd broke her thoughts—her transport to the nearest starbase was ready.

Taking a deep breath, Freya activated her personal log.

Personal Log of Ensign Kitiuas Thenis on board the Thimmerand, a Wander-class blockade runner. We are making all due haste to the Kunar system. My cousin Tayshi D'hetr has decided, for the Thousand Gods known reason, to help in rescuing our senior officers. She has mustered a group of three other Orion ships: the Tokol, a Maraar-class Orion barge; the Vasrak, a Harmony-class Orion fast escort/blockade runner; and the Vaillun, a Wanderer-class Orion a Class V blockade runner. The Thimmerand is running cloaked, again the Thousand Gods only know how she acquired a cloaking device. The plan is to have…

"Personal Log, Lieutenant Junior Grade Montgomery Vala. USS Sunfire.

The intricate ballet of the stars outside my quarters contrasts sharply with the flurry of my own movements within. Unpacking possessions and stowing them in their assigned spots, I am struck by the quiet gravity of this moment. Just a mere corridor away, the heart of the ship—the people, the systems—hums with life, echoing the grandeur of the universe. And yet, in these moments of solitude, the overwhelming weight of memories floods in.

The soft hum of the Sunfire's engines resonates with the rich tapestry of my past. As I gaze…
