notsonicekhan turned to unpleasant_ifix. The two officers were standing outside the hatch door to the shuttlebay. The door was open, and the passage was blocked by a transparent forcefield. The remaining contents of the shuttlebay were in disarray, indicating that an unplanned depressurization had taken place. Clearly absent was the normal contents of the shuttlebay, the ( Read more... )

The augmented iss_murgatroid had begun an orbit of Ishtar, my homeworld. We had deployed 4 destroyers and 120 attack sleds, who had englobed the planet. We had also discharged several mine-laying robotic ships, who were planting minefields in a randomized pattern across Ishtar's skies. Friend-or-foe systems were fully active and all weapons systems were ( Read more... )

The iss_murgatroid has successfully docked with the Death of Halkans. Umbilicals and docking clamps are engaged, and hatches mated to allow full access from each ship to the other. Structural Integrity and Inertial Dampening fields have been integrated with the synchronization of the two ships' computer cores. Command functionality has been transferred to the ( Read more... )

He has verified our identity and ordered the security officer to order weapons and patrols to stand down, and we are to approach at no more than one-quarter impulse. Deviation from the approved approach vector will mean we'll be ( Read more... )

We have the Death of Halkans on long-range sensors. Currently we are exchanging deeply-encrypted authentication codes over Empire-only subspace channels. When the political officer on the Annihilator-class hull is satisfied that we are who we say we are, he will inform the security officer to stand down weapons and patrols to let us dock.

Captain Jellico stayed in his quarters while we came out of warp and continued heading for Ishtar at impulse. We would be meeting up and docking with the Death of Halkans, an Annihilator-class hull with a long and impressive history. Annihilator hulls were neither dreadnaughts or carriers, but a combination of the two. They were enormous, and ( Read more... )

Inside the Revenge, I indicated to storvik that he should investigate the whistling while I sealed the hatch and checked the controls. With all controls active and all security protocols down, I was able to access the docking mechanisms and instruct them to release us -- without notifying the bridge or the iss_murgatroid's security chief. I activated all stealth ( Read more... )

Free of our captors,

I had just returned to my office from a short visit to the brig when my combadge beeped. Captain Jellico told me to report to him...in his quarters. A shiver ran down my spine. Many officers who reported to Jellico's quarters never returned...and some of those who did return, returned changed from before. A summons there was not to be taken ( Read more... )
