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 :)

The Parting Glass

The transporter room aboard the Sunfire carried its usual rhythm of efficiency. Technicians moved between consoles while the familiar hum of energized systems filled the space with quiet purpose. Bonnie stood on the transporter pad with her satchel resting against one hip and stared at the destination coordinates displayed on the nearest monitor.

Dublin, Ireland, the final stop.

Chief Rourke glanced up from his console and offered her a polite grin. "You know, Lieutenant, I can put you considerably closer to your registered destination."

Bonnie looked over. "I know you CAN..."

"Absolutely, I can. Front door delivery,…

The silence that followed was different from the silences that usually inhabited the Temple.

The mist drifted through the stars in slow currents while the timelines above continued their endless weaving, but there was tension hidden within the motion now. A current beneath the current. Something ancient drawing inward.

Patin saw it immediately. “Oh, don't start that,” she said, pointing upward. “You don't get to go all mysterious and omniscient after I finally ask the right question.”

The stars dimmed slightly.

The future remains in motion.

The future is not fixed.

The answer influences the answer.

Patin rolled her eyes…

Dust in the Wind

The transporter shimmer dissolved into thin mountain air so clear it almost felt sharpened. Bonnie stepped onto the arrival platform and immediately stopped walking.

The Andes rose around Cusco like something older than memory. Mountains stretched toward every horizon, their slopes layered in shades of green, stone, and distant blue. The peaks seemed large enough to challenge the sky itself while the sky responded by becoming even larger. Clouds drifted across an impossible expanse of brilliant afternoon light, casting slow-moving shadows that wandered across valleys carved long before anyone thought to record history.

She stood quietly…

Rhenora sighed as Remal's hands worked wonders on the tired muscles of her feet, easing the aches and knots that had been there for so long she had simply logged them as 'normal'. Had it been that long since they had 5 minutes to breathe in between chaos?

She closed her eyes for a moment, letting the relaxation wash over her, the wine, the rhythm of the waves, the soft lighting, Remal's hands as they worked her muscles. Somewhere along the line, his hands turned from masseuse to something more playful, dancing circles and exploring further.

"I think a relocation…

The Living Years

The following day, Athens greeted Bonnie with sunlight, sea air, and betrayal.

The transporter shimmer faded into a bustling plaza alive with voices, scooters, market stalls, and the distant cry of gulls circling somewhere beyond the rooftops. Warm Mediterranean air brushed against her face carrying the scents of salt, olive oil, fresh bread, and stone that had spent centuries learning how to hold sunlight.

This time Bonnie arrived with a plan, a real one. Her satchel contained journal pages from her father's old travel notes alongside several holo-photos she had painstakingly organized the night before. Certain landmarks…

Personal log, Lieutenant JG Rowan Hale.

Several weeks have passed since I reported aboard the USS Sunfire. The distinction between days has already begun to erode, replaced by duty rotations, alert tones, and the constant vibration of the engines through the deckplates. This is a familiar phenomenon. I have experienced it before. The recurrence is… notable.

Assuming the role of Chief Medical Officer has proceeded with fewer complications than anticipated. That does not imply the absence of scrutiny. Lieutenant Commander Aurora Vali has proven invaluable in both administrative and clinical matters. Her insight into crew psychology is precise and uncomfortably…


» USS Sunfire — Acting Command Log - Bajoran Satellite Transfer

Posted on Fri Dec 5th, 2025 @ 6:38pm by Commander Jenna Ramthorne

Commander Jenna Lee Ramthorne, Bridge

Orbital track remains stable over Bajor’s northern hemisphere. Power levels nominal, comm buoy array holding lock. Current duty shift cycling cleanly.

At 1427 hours, Deep Space Nine signaled priority contact. Colonel Kira Nerys appeared on main viewer. Her report was short and to the point: the replacement control satellite had passed all station-level diagnostics and was ready for handover. Requested Sunfire to retrieve, position, and complete final activation protocols. Authorization codes transmitted and verified.

Acknowledged the order and initiated retrieval preparations.

Helm plotted a straight-line course from our current orbital anchor to DS9 at three-quarter…

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…
