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 :)

Prophets’ Reflection: The Irreverent One

You are here. You were here. You will be here.
The path is not the path.
Others wait, silent. You shout.
We weave threads. You cut threads with fire.

She enters not in reverence, but in fury.
She says: “Take me, not her. Do it, you cowards.”
We are not cowards. We are eternity.
Yet we accept the bargain.
For the bargain was always.

A body burned, a womb gone.
Choice made in blood and flame.
The Gul takes once, never again.
She declares: “Mine. Always mine. No one owns me.”
The echo becomes permanent.…

Powder led Rosa through the softly lit corridors of the station, each step measured, deliberate. Coy hummed softly in her mind, a quiet murmur of approval. “Good… slow… savor the approach. She doesn’t know yet what she wants, but she will.”

Powder’s fingers fidgeted with the strap of her uniform, glancing nervously at Rosa. “I… hope I’m not being… forward,” she whispered.

Rosa smiled, brushing a strand of dark hair behind her shoulder. “Curiosity isn’t a crime,” she murmured. “It’s a privilege,” Coy added, quieter now, letting Rosa lead while savoring every subtle reaction.

They reached Powder’s quarters. Rosa paused…

Rosa leaned lightly against the edge of Powder’s table, letting her posture convey casual confidence. Her boots rested just enough on the floor to suggest purpose without intimidation.

“Busy night?” Rosa asked softly, her voice teasing, almost melodic.

Powder looked up, startled. She blinked a few times, then smiled faintly. “I… don’t usually… socialize much,” she admitted, fingers brushing nervously against her drink. “Just transferred from a frigate. Quarks, it’s… quieter than this usually.” A bag of service tools rested beside her on the seat, neatly.

“Good,” Coy purred quietly, approving. “She talks. You listen. Learn her rhythm, her hesitations.…

The Liberty was currently docked at Deep Space Station Nine after her latest mission, and Rosa was looking forward to some target practice. Technically, she had a test flight scheduled for the next day, so Coy had convinced her to go looking for what he called "A practice target".

Rosa’s boots clicked softly against the metal floor as she stepped into Quark’s. The bar smelled faintly of roasted synth meats, the tang of replicated ale, and the undercurrent of countless bodies pressed together in conversation and laughter. She inhaled, letting the hum of activity settle into her senses, each detail…

The USS Sunfire slid effortlessly towards the docking pylon arched high above the central core of the space station.

" DS9 has cleared us to dock, Captain Kira has requested a briefing on the repairs" Ops reported.

" Tell the Captain I'll be there in 10. After we complete docking procedures, you have your leave rotations. Enjoy your time off" there was a seriousness in the Captain's tone that wasn't there previously. She made eye contact with her senior staff and nodded to them, leaving those watching idley confused. Wasn't shore leave supposed to be happy and joyful?

Aurora looked…

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…

Personal Log:
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…

Posted on Sat Aug 9th, 2025 @ 4:00pm by Lieutenant JG Ngaza

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…
