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 :)

Mission: Character Development
Posted on Wed Oct 15th, 2025 @ 3:12pm by Patin
The Celestial Temple pulsed like the inside of a storm, the clouds folding over one another as if embarrassed by how much they’d just felt. Patin hung there in the center of it all, arms crossed, boots dangling in empty air, her spectral jacket puffed with pride.
“Alright,” she said, exhaling light instead of smoke. “Lesson Forty-Seven-B. This one’s about loyalty, or, as I like to call it, love with a death wish.”
Loyalty.
The echo filled the chamber, resonating like wind against mountain stone.
Patin snorted. “Yeah, yeah. You say it like it’s some holy word. Where I’m from,…

Rhenora looked at Zio with a shocked expression. Not only had her calculation of the remote parts of the Northern continent been wrong, but wildly wrong. It took a few moments for her brain to catch up. "You got through the final relay. Well done. I shouldn't have pinged that they would bounce it off that tower," The Captain admonished as they headed back to the shuttles. The maintenance shuttle was still docked. Did they want to use it themselves? Undoubtedly, it would be devoid of any standard tracking systems, except the ones that would alert their quarry.
"Yitka, want…

The Celestial Temple shimmered that day like glass caught between storms — all edges and glimmer, spinning softly in dimensions that refused to stay still. Time hummed. Reality hummed louder.
Patin appeared mid-hum. One hand on her hip, the other holding a spectral cigar that didn’t smoke so much as glow indignantly.
“Alright, shiny folk,” she announced, squinting up into the infinite. “Lesson Forty-Seven—A, because numbering things helps the meatsacks feel important. Today we’re talking about love.”
Love. The voices answered as one — thousands of tones speaking from nowhere and everywhere. You have spoken this word before.
Patin grinned.…

The capital of Ashalla wept. Rain poured down in steady, silver sheets, washing soot from rooftops and whispering against the city’s ancient stonework. It was the first true storm in months — a sound Vekar Dane had not planned to hear again so soon.
Deep beneath the city, in a bunker of pale stone and black steel, Vekar Dane sat before a wall of holo-screens of Deep Space Nine rotated slowly — taunting him. The feeds displayed Deep Space Nine’s status reports, weather telemetry, and rows of financial projections now rendered meaningless by the downpour. He watched the blue lines…

The last of the holographic opponents dissolved into pale motes of light, leaving Rosa standing in the center of the training mat. Her chest rose and fell in tight, clipped breaths. Sweat ran in rivulets down her neck, darkening the collar of her black tank. Her knuckles throbbed, skin red and raw even through the protective wraps. The silence after combat was almost deafening — the crowd that had gathered drifted away in twos and threes, murmuring about her speed, her ferocity, her refusal to quit.
But not all of them left.
Sira lingered at the edge of the mat,…

Personal Log, Leo Da’Cinci — Supplemental
(Confidential. Not for official record. If ye’re readin’ this, put it back where ye found it, or I’ll throttle ye with me own spanner.)
I woke up this mornin’ to the bloody computer chirpin’ in me ear again. 0600 hours sharp, no mercy, no consideration. “Good mornin’, Lieutenant Da’Cinci,” it says, as though I’m about to spring out of bed with a smile. Ha! I roll over, mumble a curse or three, and slap the console ‘til it shuts up. Truth be told, if the ship herself didn’t need me, I’d never leave the…

Entry 2
The transfer to the USS Sunfire is still pending. The ship hasn't arrived at Deep Space 9 yet, and so I am left to wait. I've been spending my time in my quarters, staring out the window at the endless parade of vessels docked at the station's ring. My gaze keeps drifting back to my own ship, the Achilles-class I brought here, a testament to my own work. Seeing it so close only makes my current assignment feel more… ordinary.
I have been officially assigned the position of Chief Strategic Operations Officer. In a time of…

Kitiuas stepped into her new quarters, much larger do to the fact it was designated for family.
Kasso looked up from the kitchen nook 'Well you look like a warmed over korgasant." said Kasso as she stirred something in the Orion firepot in front of her. Kit could smell the rich spices and sizzling food and smiled.
Kit replied, "I feel like a warmed over korasant. I need to take a shower before I nurse . Where is Astraea by the way?"
Kasso nodded to the side of the counter, there was a small Orion rocker crib. "I finally got…

Alright, here it is. Quinn's final request before I ship out. A personal log. I’ve never seen the point of one of these. My memory is, and always has been, perfect. But I obliged. As I always do with him.
I'm packing now. Or, what passes for packing. The reality modulator is humming, folding my few possessions into pocket-sized singularities. A few tools, my meditation sphere, the memories. The memories are what feel heaviest.
It's strange, but the thought of this new post on the Sunfire brings everything back to the beginning. Or, rather, the end. My end. I still…

Personal Log, Stardate 49011.4
Admiral Quinn asked for a favor, and I've accepted. He feels I'm the right fit to serve aboard the USS Sunfire, an Akira-class vessel. They're short two officers: a Strategic Operations Officer and an Assistant Chief Engineer. Given my skills, the operations post is the natural choice.
The Sunfire is currently en route, and I'm to meet them at Deep Space 9. I've always admired the Akira-class design—sleek, powerful, and built for a fight. Serving on one, even temporarily, is a welcome opportunity. I’ve packed my gear and am looking forward to the challenge. I'll make…
