Ship News
USS New York 71868
Already faced with one murder, a second murder was discovered in the cargo bay. First it was a Terran scientist they are escorting to Aldebaran II. He was found in his quarters with several knief wounds in his back. Forsenic evidence identfied some hair/fur as Ktarian.
The second murder was of a Nacusian. The security team has an additional problem in finding out how he was able to override security and not be listed as on the ship.
The Captian held a formal reception for the diplomatic guest on the ship. An Betazoid Ambassordor Rensor is being transported to Mizar. To settle a dispute with the Cor Carolians. The reception was cut short and all guest are confined to thier quarters until the murderer is discovered and apprehended.
They were also attacked by Orien priates the reason is still unkown. But it is thought to be connected to the Narcausian. A subspace message was detected and all it said was, "Phase one is complete. I think they are on to me."
USS Aryes NCC 81204
The Aryes has found the necklace Q Pefection sent them to locate and return. But at a heavy cost, there were Cardassians also searching for it and begin to fire at the search party. Fierce fire fighting took place.
The CO, and her party discovered the lost Orb beloning to Bajor. They experienced a return to occupied Bajor. More then likely it was was the same time period for all three of them.
They were transported back to the ship when the Aryes in orbit was attacked. Once back on board they were able to dispatch the Cardassian ship.
101 st Marine Pathfinders
The 101st have been holding onto SB01, they have gone against termondous odss and have prevailed. The FTA has retreated for now. Fleet Admiral Harsting arrived with the Terrasect and entered into a fire fight the FTA ships. And the fighter division of the 101 st engaged several fighters.
Durning the battle to hold onto SB01, Colonel Fox fired upon one of our own and contuined to fire several times. After this happened Lt Iverson ordered several Marines to secure intel on the incident. On the surface this looks real bad for Colonel Fox.
Most of the members of the 101st hold and maintain that something is wrong with this. That the surface is much deeper then the actual events witnessed.
USS Pegasus NCC 25347
The Pegasus has finished the testing at the Draken Testing Facilty. The ship and crew has passed with flying colors. The security department finished the ship wide search and found the only other things Q did was to leave some quarters in disarry.
The Pegasus now rid of Q will beable to resume her scheduled missions.
USS Frontier NCC 11385
While on the way to the SB12 for repairs. The Frontier was fired on by a Cardassian ship which used a volley of phaser fire and then warped out. The hit was directed at the hull near the brig. Its still not know why this happened but the Frontier managed to send return fire.
The Klingon prisoner was questioned at great lenght. She remaing uncooperative as expected. A Klingon BoP appeared, and spoke with Admiral Taylar. It seems they were searching for the prisioner. They demanded at first that the prisioner be returned. Adm Taylar granted assilym. After a debate with the Klingon Co, he was allowed to transport over and speak with the prisoner.
His message to her was to either return with him or to take her own life. He left behind a dagger for her to use. On examination, the only crime she committed was in having a genetic mutation that allowed her to have telepathy/empathy. Something that is akin to crimmal activity to thier society.
Board sims
USS Vindicator NCC 16052
The brave men and woman of the Vindicator remain locked in battle and the Lyran Forces are weakening and had a blow suffered when Capt Dorius and her team took down one of thier escaping ships.
Casulities and death among our Marines at Tolnac II remain low. A tribute to the skills of the command and medical personnel.
USS Terasect NCC 70000
While investigating the debris Admiral Harsting was able to confrim that the recent debris is not from the Captain Yacht of the person he's been waiting for. He is currently mapping the warp and impulse trails.
Meanwhile the Terrasect remains where she waiting for Harstings return. The ships senors has detected multipule tetryon distrubances. Several stations alarm systems have been activited.

Interview
This member who is chosen for this, is entirely at random and unknown to the member until my famous IM introduction of "your my latest victim lol".
This week we put Ensign Tyler W Baccus of the USS New York NCC 71868
Jenina Weslynes1 [3:18 PM]: Your assigned to the USS New York NCC 71868 What are your impressions of the ship?
Tyler W Baccus [3:21 PM]: The New York is a fine ship with a great crew. I enjoy serving with all of them. We have an excellent Commanding Officer in Captain Radaik, who certainly brings a unique but effective style of commanding to the ship. I also enjoy the diversity of the crew, It has helped me to learn about all of their races better.
Jenina Weslynes1 [3:22 PM]: You have the first Romulan Captain in star fleet. What would you say is the most unique aspect to her command style?
Tyler W Baccus [3:24 PM]: Well, I would say its her unique approach on things. She goes about doing things in a bit different style, which gives us an advantage if we come into a difficult situation.
Jenina Weslynes1 [3:24 PM]: Why did you join the Star Fleet? And what do you hope to bring to it and to take with you?
Tyler W Baccus [3:27 PM]: Both of my parents were starfleet officers and I was raised aboard Federation ships, so really its the only lifestyle i've ever known. I hope that I can be a successful crew member who brings pride to his crew, and I want to be able to be effective in doing all of my tasks assigned to me.
Jenina Weslynes1 [3:27 PM]: Your are the Acting Chief Security. What lead you to specialize in this field and what would you tell others thinking of entering security?
Tyler W Baccus [3:31 PM]: Well, I chose to enter the field of Security because I think I would go insane if I had to stand behind a console all of the time, I like to be out and about, and being in security allows me to do that. If you are thinking of entering the field of Security, I would say that it is a very fun, very rewarding field to enter, but it is also a very serious field, you are in charge of maintaing the safety of the crew.
Jenina Weslynes1 [3:31 PM]: What do you bring to star fleet and what do you hope to take with you when you leave?
Tyler W Baccus [3:34 PM]: I bring my experience with me to the fleet. Although I am just out of the academy and this is my first post, I have spent my whole life aboard a starship, and I know what is to be expected aboard a ship and how the ships function. When I leave starfleet, I hope that I can bring Honor and the knowing that I have served my country and starfleet proudly.
Jenina Weslynes1 [3:34 PM]: What do you hope to achieve before retirement within Star Fleet?
Tyler W Baccus [3:37 PM]: I would like to be a professor at the academy at some point during my career, but if I can keep my crew safe and serve my duties as expected of me, I think that would be a most rewarding and fulfilling achievement.
Jenina Weslynes1 [3:44 PM]: What interest and hobbies do you enjoy? And do these help you as a star fleet officer?
Tyler W Baccus [3:44 PM]: I enjoy participating in the old sporting events on my home planet of Earth, and I love to go exploring on the holodeck. I think that my love for exploring has helped me aboard the ship; I notice the lesser traveled paths and good hiding places, that most people have overlooked. I think this helps me in serving as a security officer.
Jenina Weslynes1 [3:45 PM]: On a more personal note, and I know our ladies will want to know. Are your married, or have a special someone in your life?
Tyler W Baccus [3:47 PM]: No, I am not married, but yes, there is now a special someone in my life.
Jenina Weslynes1 [3:47 PM]: One final question is there anything you would like added, changed, or removed from the United Forces?
Tyler W Baccus [3:49 PM]: I haven't seen anything that I would like to have changed. The only thing I can think of is that the Quiz is pretty danged hard right now. ::Laughs a bit::
Jenina Weslynes1 [3:49 PM]: You've done well. ::laughs:: Thank you for your time and have a good day.
The quiz he mentioned was the trivia on the main site.
