Ship News
USS New York 71868
The New York remains in the grip of a mystery. The second body has yielded very few clues except to all a new element. A Lyran connection which was found by a strand of fur with root structure. And was further proven later as they were engaged in a minor battle with 4 Orien pirates, two were shot down and two ran off, and a Lyran battlecrusier that was shadowing them.
It seems this battle was intended as a diversion activity. The reason was to retrieve the assassin from the New York cargo bay. It was an ingenious plan using our own technology. But why have these races come together?
With only seven hours until they reach Aldebaran II science outpost. They have increased security and continue to work at resolving this.
USS Aryes NCC 81204
The Aryes has returned to and found the necklace Q wanted in exchange for leading them to the lost orb. Captain Sowren Tirina has some answers and may find more as they continue to Bajor to return the lost relic.
A scientific investigation was conducted on the metals. The chain was gold and the stones were, a large central diamond, and 3 sets of seven crystals surrounding the central stone. The necklace seems to have more of a religious significance
When Q left she told them to take care because whatever the orb gives you it will extract a personal toll. And that the Orb was originally held by the Bajorians until it was stolen. Just like the necklace was stolen. But by who?
101 st Marine Pathfinders
The rebellion is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
USS Pegasus NCC 25347
The Pegasus left the Drake Testing facility and went to rendezvous with the USS Gray Hawk a type 12 heavy personnel shuttle. They towed the Gray Hawk to the Supply Depot Zed-12, in the Qualor system. The Supply Depot orbits Qualor III.
The Gray Hawk is position and now the lady is ready to begin the well earned rest she deserves. A final inventory is being complied and while there, the surrounding ships are being inventoried as well.
USS Frontier NCC 11385
The Frontier reached her destination of SB 12 and the crew is on general leave. One which is well deserved and earned. The Klingon Prisoner Kah'lea was transferred to station security after being lead off the Frontier.
The same Klingon CO who visited the Kah'lea in the brig of the frontier was on the station. She looked in his direction and speaking in Klingon she was suddenly transported off the station. After reviewing station security it was found she had challenged the Co. Thus allowing her to die in combat or in winning her freedom for a time.
Once the repairs are finished they will be begin the next mission.
Board Sims
USS Vindicator NCC 16052

Which will resume.
USS Terrasect NCC 70000
The Terrasect remains close to the Romulan Neutral Zone. The Admiral after investigating the debris field on the Romulan side has turned around and is returning to the Terrasect.
They were unable to shed any light on why the person they are supposed to meet there is so long overdue.

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 Pvt Ga'lar of the 101 st Marine Pathfinders on the hot seat.
Jenina Weslynes1 [9:05 A.M.]: Good morning Ga'lar
Druidsummerhaven [9:06 A.M.]: ahh well General Weslynes a pleasure to see you. what can I do for you this morning?
Jenina Weslynes1 [10:09 A.M.]: Your assigned to the 101st Marine Pathfinders. The Marine ground sim. What are your impressions of the 101st?
Druidsummerhaven [10:11 A.M.]: Well General for Terrains and federation officers they are a sharp bunch keen eyes and good studies. always sharp with PT FS Stalling's and the others are always working to help. us all adapt improvise and over come as is the saying.
Jenina Weslynes1 [10:12 A.M.]: Why did you join the Marines?
Druidsummerhaven [10:14 A.M.]: Well after the Various Occupations and Military operations run from cardassia prime and several months of thought after the fall of the empire I discovered a simple truth. at heart I'm a poet a warrior and a politician ::chuckles thru the cigar smoke:: and well the other two weren't paying.
Jenina Weslynes1 [10:15 A.M.]: Many Marines specialize, have you done that? If not why do chose to remain as a combat Marine?
Druidsummerhaven [10:17 A.M.]: I have considered taking special heavy weapons training but combat marines have a special bond a comradery and closeness you don't seem to find with specialized divisions the ranks of combat marine is a brotherhood. Reminds me of home.
Jenina Weslynes1 [10:18 A.M.]: What do you bring to the Marines and what do you hope to take with you when you leave?
Druidsummerhaven [10:22 A.M.]: well general I bring with me of course my disrupter cannon and years in the field pride respect a sense of self worth.my own personal flair and combination of skills. As far as what I hope to take with me from the 101st discipline structure a new feeling of pride in knowing that what I'm doing with my life is now making a change in the eyes of cardassia and the Federation. bridging the gap and healing injuries and wrongs we have committed the only way I know how .
Jenina Weslynes1 [10:23 A.M.]: What do you hope to achieve before retirement within the Marines?
Druidsummerhaven [10:26 A.M.]: I would hope to firstly run a small division on cardassian arms perhaps research and development of new systems and technologies. to leave things better than when I found them. Rank is never of importance safety and leadership from within these things are key I hope I can help change the Federations opinions of their Cardassian friends.
Jenina Weslynes1 [10:27 A.M.]: What interest and hobbies do you enjoy? And do these help you as a Marine?
Druidsummerhaven [10:29 A.M.]: I enjoy art and science music and culture. as far as its applications to the Corps I believe that music and the arts calm the heart and steady the hands thus creating a focused and disciplined warrior combined with the sciences these are both valuable tools to a marine yes.
Jenina Weslynes1 [10:29 A.M.]: 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?
Druidsummerhaven [10:31 A.M.]: ::smiles:: General there is a Gril back home you could say I'm seeing a lovely young Cardassian lady her father is in the political scene and her mother an accomplished musician.but its nothing to serious.
Jenina Weslynes1 [10:31 A.M.]: One final question is there anything you would like added, changed, or removed from the United Forces?
Druidsummerhaven [10:33 A.M.]: viewing the United Forces in their current light. taking everything into account I would say its a fine fleet diverse and wide reaching truly the best the universe has to offer I wouldn't change a thing
Jenina Weslynes1 [10:34 A.M.]: Thank you for your time and I wish you well in the 101st. Stay safe out there, and that's an order. ::laughs::
Druidsummerhaven [10:35 A.M.]: yes Ma'am safety is key thank you for speaking with me do enjoy your next umm victim General

Alien Corner
Bolian
Bolians are a humanoids race from Bolarius IV, they have blue skin and a mid facial ridge beginning at the back of the head. They have blue blood and cartilagenous tongue linings. Sexual relationships with Terrans are not advised, since the Terran suffers from several ill effects, for example fatigue, joint pains, headaches etc.
They joined the Federation in 2322 since then they can be found thought out the Federation. However not many have not chosen to serve in Star Fleet. But where ever they are they are very hard working, known as workaholics. An example of this can even be seen in the education system where the work load per semester is so intense few non bolians will last a year.
Family is very important to them and many will consist of 10 children. In addition, they have the capacity to love more than one mate. Which leads them to have several partners calling the first one wife or husband the others co wife/husband. Their race is sea faring since there is very little land and large oceans and seas between land masses. As a race they tend to be in team centered pursuits rather then individual ones.
