Mission: Masimal
Posted on Fri May 23rd, 2025 @ 11:30am by Captain Rhenora Kaylen & Commander Dean House & Lieutenant Commander Aurora Vali

"Computer, origin of the transport" Captain Kaylen Rhenora snapped as she realised they may have a very big problem on their hands.

"Transport originated from Masimal' the computer intoned. Rhenora's gut clenched.

"Security lock down that section, full biohazard protocols."

In the Science lab Aurora was still going over the message when the alert claxon sounded. Staying in the lab she tapped the comms. “Vali to Bridge, what’s happening?”

"Someone from Masimal has beamed on board on deck 4. We're working to isolate them and contain any pathogens." Rhenora explained, watching the security teams sweep out of the bridge to…

"I'll, uh, yeah, get to work outside. See what sort of damage we're looking at." Bonnie said as she grabbed her kit. "Can someone cover me, you know, in case?" She asked as she placed the helmet back upon her suit.

"I will accompany you outside Bonnie." Savar spoke up and like Bonnie he refastened the helmet to his suit. "I will exit first to make sure the area is clear for you to attempt repairs." He pressed the door lock and it slid back smoothly. "Wait for my call Bonnie." As he stepped out into the cooler air.

Jenna provided cover as Savar helped Sarah, but in between firing shots she had somehow lost track of Commander Baldric. The horde was growing ever closer. "Bonnie, when I give the word, lift off and hover at 10 feet." A phaser shot struck the bulkhead to her left and she thought twice. "Make it 20." She was waiting for Savar and Sarah to enter.

"Aye Commander." Bonnie replied, the panic evident in her voice as she entered the calculations. "What if we take fire?"

"We'll burn that plasma when we get there." Jenna muttered back as she fired at the…

Savar stepped out of the shuttle first. His sharp eyes surveying their surroundings. There were large buildings around them and the fog of spores. No people had yet to move toward them. "Sarah, please collect what you need I wish us to be here no longer than necessary."

Sarah nodded and made a beeline for a corpse that was nearby, taking a multitude of readings before moving on to the next one. She really wanted to study the transfer of the pathogen but knew that wad probably going to be unlikely.

Savar looked out over the field as Sarah moved…

Savar sat in the co-pilots seat with Jenna in the pilot's seat. They had just finished their preflight check list and were waiting orders to launch. Bonnie, Sarah and Jennifer were seated behind them. "We are just awaiting orders to proceed." Savar told the others as an awkward silence had filled the shuttle but it was really unnecessary. They all knew what they were waiting on.

Between watching the scanners and peeking out of the window, Bonnie noticed the sky was filled with thousands of floating orb like objects, tiny balls of pollen. Each ball of mass sort of floated…


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…

Posted on Fri Jan 17th, 2025 @ 6:41pm by Commander Jenna Ramthorne

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.

"This is 1st Lieutenant Freya Score, Sunfire Marine Commanding Officer, final entry. Duty has always come first for me, but sometimes, life pulls us in unexpected directions. A family emergency requires my immediate attention, and though it tears me apart to leave…

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…
