Posted on Fri Jul 4th, 2025 @ 11:34pm by Captain Rhenora Kaylen in General News

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 notification arrived between two other matters requiring her attention. S’thenosis completed the first, opened the message, and found herself suddenly unable to recall the subject of the second. She read the brief announcement again, taking particular care with its final sentence, then placed the PADD squarely upon the corner of her desk, stood, and exited her office.

By the time she reached the observation deck, minutes later, she had composed three different versions of a suitable reply. Each expressed her condolences with sufficient dignity. Yet each seemed inadequate to the task at hand.

Beyond the adjoining arboretum, the deck…

One minute there was 3 people in the secret cavern; the next there seemed to be a lot more. Ethereal beings appeared from seemingly nowhere. Faceless, their bodies gossamer-like and not quite touching the ground.

"The Prophet of Chaos and Boom has interfered."

Patin slowly turned toward the gathering of ethereal figures, her expression shifting from surprise to irritation as their accusation settled over the chamber. She glanced at the nearest of them, then at the others materializing around the dais, their forms hovering just above the polished obsidian floor.

For a moment, she considered the sheer audacity of their…

Mess Hall

Bonnie had slept terribly. Every time she closed her eyes, she found herself back in the bathtub, staring up through the water at Dean's smiling face. Twice she had woken up gasping for air, and once she had nearly fallen out of bed trying to escape hands that weren't really there. By morning, she had managed perhaps three hours of actual sleep, and her mood reflected every miserable minute of it.

She sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the floor with a severe lack of enthusiasm. “Right. New day. Everything's fine. Nobody's drowning anybody.” She…

It can be said oftentimes that one does not know that something was missing until it is there. So too had Jacob Rosen found that his cohabitation with the entrancing T'Lar had fit like a well worn in pair of boots. As if the first morning they prepared for their normal work days together he had looked into her eyes across the bedroom and felt something akin to Ah, there you are .

It was in the small moments; the slight upturn of the corner of her lips as Jacob placed a steaming mug of her spiced tea as the…

Bajor had turned on a moody day, overcast and drab, the sun hidden by a thick layer of cloud as if those below were not worthy of it's heat. The waves crashed angrily on the shoreline beneath the cottage, matching the sky - not quite aggressive but with a tone that meant there was no-one in the water, and wouldn't be until it settled.

It was a fitting mood, given the particular day. It was Patin's birthday - and though the stubborn Bajoran had never chosen to celebrate them, it was a milestone that threatened to slip past un-noticed. Rhenora…

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…

Personal Log:
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…
