Mission: Masimal

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…

The shuttle jostled as it left Federation Star Base Serengeti to rendezvous with the USS Sunfire, Astraea murmured and stirred in her sleep nestled against Kit.
"You sure you really want to return to active-duty status in Starfleet, it has only been eighteen months since Drauc was killed." inquired Kasso.
Kit smiled a bittersweet smile. The mention of her late husband still brought pangs of sorrow to her. His death by the Orion Syndicate also made her angry. As if sensing her mother's conflicted emotions, Astraea began to stir and murmur more. Kit began to rock her child back into…

Posted on Thu Jun 26th, 2025 @ 12:14am by Lieutenant Commander Bonnie "Bon-Bon" Durnell & Commander Dean House
Thankfully Dean was able to procure his car and get it transported to the family house. If they were going to do it, they might as well do it right. Standing outside waiting on Bonnie, Dean had gotten into the pristine black 1967 Chevrolet 4-door Impala after lovingly running his hand along the hood.
Starting it up and letting her purr. He knew exactly where he was going to take her.
Bonnie ran inside, picked a jacket out of the hall closet and spun it around and over her shoulders. At least she would be covered and comfortable while still…

Bridge
It was the end of a long day. Much had been done to preserve as much life as they could on the planet below. Segregating those not infected into a safer location, they were buying time until reinforcements arrived. Hopefully, within two days this region would be swarming with Federation aid. Worst case they had two ships coming and do what they could with them.
Rhenora stood from her desk, bone weary and only moving now that the shuttle were due to return.

Dr Tarsis rubbed his eyes and reread the last string of data again, hoping…

The senior staff were gathered outside the shuttle, nested safely within the shuttle bay and away from the pathogen that was influencing Sarah's behaviour. Captain Kaylen wanted a clearer picture of what was going on on the planet below before speaking to it and negotiating any agreements.
"So - tell me what was going on down there?" She asked the away team.
"That's what I'd like to know, given that Aurora and I are still stuck in here," came Dean's voice from one of the nearby consoles. He'd locked in on the Shuttlebay from Sickbay so they could still see…

» 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.
"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…
