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 :)

Mission: For Bajor!
Posted on Sun Oct 19th, 2025 @ 6:51pm by Commander Jenna Ramthorne
The Nausicaan snarled as another coded message blinked unanswered across his console. Orders. Delays. Excuses. The Bajorans bickered, the humans stalled, and all the while the skies poured mercy on a world that did not deserve it.
He slammed a fist against the armrest and rose from his chair. Enough waiting. If the others were too weak to finish the job, he would finish it himself.
Moments later, his ship’s engines roared to life, a guttural growl that shook the docking clamps loose. The Nausicaan’s vessel tore from orbit, cutting a path toward Deep Space Nine like a thrown blade.…

Mission: For Bajor!
Posted on Sun Oct 19th, 2025 @ 6:27pm by Commander Jenna Ramthorne & Lieutenant Commander Bonnie "Bon-Bon" Durnell & Commander Dean House & Lieutenant JG Micheal Stevens & Lieutenant JG Ameila Montana & Ensign Kitiuas Thenis ie-Jia'anKahr & Commander Jennifer Baldric
The next morning, the Sunfire team gathered in the Replimat, having all been released from the Infirmary at varying times over the last 12 hours. Dean had only just been released, and if Baldric knew the man at all, she knew he would be craving one of his famous Deanwich sandwiches, apparently a meal for any time of day and any occasion. She had gathered the team to debrief and also to strategise, trying to determine who did this and why. The coffee was hot, and Baldric was determined.
Kit came into the Replimat gingerly. Her lungs still hurt, and…

The Celestial Temple was quiet.
Not the kind of silence that follows an explosion, Patin knew that kind too well, but the deep, weightless hush of something waiting to be understood.
The Prophets had not summoned her like this before. The space shimmered with more formality than usual. They appeared not as their usual swirling lights but as patterns—circles within circles, shifting geometry that implied presence without revealing faces.
You have spoken of loss.
Patin blinked at the slow, deliberate unfolding of light. “Yeah,” she said. “Lesson forty-seven, subpart C. A real crowd pleaser.”
We would offer perspective.
Her eyebrows…

The Celestial Temple felt heavier that day. Not physically, the air still shimmered like molten glass, the clouds swirling in slow, deliberate spirals — but heavy in the way silence can be when it carries memory. Patin hovered at its center, her multipocket jacket looking oddly human against the shifting gold and violet light, a spectral cigar clutched between fingers that had seen too many sparks.
“Alright, you lot,” she said, voice low, “Lesson Forty-Seven-C. The Shape of Loss. Don’t get all dramatic on me, I’ve already done enough crying for one eternity.” She smirked, though the edges of her…

The Celestial Temple pulsed like the inside of a storm, the clouds folding over one another as if embarrassed by how much they’d just felt. Patin hung there in the center of it all, arms crossed, boots dangling in empty air, her spectral jacket puffed with pride.
“Alright,” she said, exhaling light instead of smoke. “Lesson Forty-Seven-B. This one’s about loyalty, or, as I like to call it, love with a death wish.”
Loyalty.
The echo filled the chamber, resonating like wind against mountain stone.
Patin snorted. “Yeah, yeah. You say it like it’s some holy word. Where I’m from,…

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…

Alright, here it is. Quinn's final request before I ship out. A personal log. I’ve never seen the point of one of these. My memory is, and always has been, perfect. But I obliged. As I always do with him.
I'm packing now. Or, what passes for packing. The reality modulator is humming, folding my few possessions into pocket-sized singularities. A few tools, my meditation sphere, the memories. The memories are what feel heaviest.
It's strange, but the thought of this new post on the Sunfire brings everything back to the beginning. Or, rather, the end. My end. I still…

Personal Log, Stardate 49011.4
Admiral Quinn asked for a favor, and I've accepted. He feels I'm the right fit to serve aboard the USS Sunfire, an Akira-class vessel. They're short two officers: a Strategic Operations Officer and an Assistant Chief Engineer. Given my skills, the operations post is the natural choice.
The Sunfire is currently en route, and I'm to meet them at Deep Space 9. I've always admired the Akira-class design—sleek, powerful, and built for a fight. Serving on one, even temporarily, is a welcome opportunity. I’ve packed my gear and am looking forward to the challenge. I'll make…
