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.

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…

Captain Kaylen Rhenora stretched her arms high above her head, releasing the tension stored in her upper back with a series of cracks and pops. She sighed, releasing the posture and relishing the temporary relief it had offered. Ronson had appeared some time earlier, depositing a pot of coffee and a light meal, knowing she would be working late.

The black screen was filled with text from her interim mission report, about to be sent to command with the series of log entries she had already recorded over the last few days. She sipped the coffee, reahing for whatever morsel…

Being in isolation made Aurora feel the need to call Savar, he was her beloved husband and if anything happened to her she needed to hear his voice before it did. Requesting to speak with Savar she waited for him to respond.

On the planet's surface, Savar was surprised by a call from Aurora aboard the Sunfire. "Aurora, I am pleased as always to hear your voice. However, I am puzzled as to why you are calling." He replied and paused as he felt something 'off' in the bond they shared. "What is it Aurora?" he questioned.

“I just…” Aurora…

The fungus began to retreat from the shuttle, allowing the team to begin repairs from their rough landing and weapons exchanges.

"How is it looking out there?" Baldric called from inside the shuttle as she ran through the systems checks.

Bonnie, already hard at work on the nacelle, raised her thumb in the air to show progress was being made and then just as quickly returned to her work. Jenna queued up her comm with a chuckle and replied on Bonnie's behalf, "We'll be done soon. Stay warm and I'll let you know when to fire her up."

Savar entered…

» 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…
