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 :)

On:

Sickbay

Michael started to slowly open his eyes with blurred vision, lying on a bio-bed. He struggled to sit up, pushing both hands on the sides of the bed. Suddenly, he could hear the soft voice of one of the nurses call," Doctor, Lieutenant Stevens is awake."

Michael asked," What the hell hit me?" glancing around the room as he realized where he was, as he wondered how the Commander was and she was ok.

"Type 14 shuttle", Baldric replied from the biobed next to Michael's, the bruise on her forehead still present. "You want me to get the…

Following Aurora's release from Sickbay, Savar had prepared a nice light meal for her as he did not know how she would tolerate a regular meal and he had no desire to see Aurora back in Sickbay. he prepared some mint tea for her and Vulcan tea for himself. He also prepared a meal of some greens and veggies sprinkled with some chicken.

He walked into the living room where Aurora was resting on the couch and handed her, her glass of tea. "Mint tea Aurora." Then added, "I have prepared a light dinner for you if you feel up…

Sickbay

Back in Sickbay Tarsis and Zh’Vareth were finalizing Sarah's treatment plan when the transporter deposited two bodies in centre of Sickbay. One was the very much awake and alert Lt Stevens. The other was a semi-conscious Commander Baldric who slumped over the moment the transporter released them.

"When it rains..." Tarsis grumbled and grabbed his kit, heading over. "What happened?" He asked Stevens.

Thalek was already in motion as the transporter beam dissipated, taking in Baldric's collapsed form and immediately noticing the swelling head wound.

“Let’s get her on the bio-bed,” he said quickly, already moving to assist. He…

Shuttles

"Bridge," Jenna relayed information. "Beta Captain's shuttle has entered a steep decent into the upper strata of the storm cell. I am attempting to reach them in time for either a lift maneuver or quick extraction. Be advised, it sounds as if Baldric is injured. Have a medical team on standby." And then she closed the channel so that she could focus on catching up with Baldric's falling shuttle which was already entering the thick cloud layer and sensors were starting to scatter from the storm. Right now the only thing worse would be for lightning to strike either…

Jenna stood at the edge of the bay, a force field the only thing separating her from the sky outside the Sunfire. They were above the clouds but below the horizon line, splitting like a line in the sky. Above, the cold, peaceful, vastness of space. Below, gray cumulonimbus clouds billowed with occasional streaks of purple and white lightning. The storms had picked up their roll across the depth of the field.

Nodding her head, she turned and tapped her badge, "Ramthorne to all teams, Mount up, it's time to move out. Flight Captain's relay, let's move." She closed the…

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…

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…
