  • "Luca, pt. 2." Lancaster marveled at his luck as he walked with Sheppard out of the infirmary. He had never in his life been struck quite so completely by another person, nor was he the type to ask someone out so impulsively, but here he …
  • "Luca, Pt. 1" // Early 2390 - Starbase 72 (Image) The Hisui Maru zoomed through space on the final few minutes of its weeks-long journey. Outside the viewport, Lieutenant Michael Lancaster could see Starbase 72 hanging like a glitteri…
  • "First Contact Day" // April 5, 2385 - Starfleet Academy, Earth (Image) Cadet Michael Lancaster stopped mid-run to roll his eyes. That was not an unusual gesture for him; he frequently found himself exasperated by his fellow cadets, e…
  • Week of May 30, 2021: "Increasing Tensions"[Starbase 72 - Runabout Hanger] Captain Mortcombe circled around the Danube-class runabout that had just returned to the starbase after a mission in the Former Demilitarized Zone. The Missouri Riv…
  • A single quantum torpedo arced out of one of the forward
tubes adjacent to the deflector on the Arcturus and impacted with the
center of the former research base, obliterating it in a blue haze of energy.
Once they’d evacuate…
  • When
the Klingons liked something, they stuck with it. With only minor variations
between the dozens of models produced, the B’Rel-class bird of prey had
remained a dangerous predator for over a hundred years. So far, its pre…
  • Week of 9 May 2021: “Butterfly Effect” 

[USS K’Ehleyr - NCC-80715] 
[Flag Conference Room] 

 
It had been less than a week since Rear Admiral
Belvedere’s triumphant arrival to Starbase 72 b…
  • The K'Ehleyr will accompany a KDF fleet to Archanis.
  •  The K'Ehleyr was racing along at well over warp nine directly into Klingon Space. Negotiations with the House of Rahtekk had been a complete waste of time. Even for such a weak and minor house, they should have been able to send some ships to a con…
  •  Alpha shift was still minutes away from starting, but arriving early for work had meant that Luca Sheppard already had his first patient of the day. The ship's Chief Operations Officer had been beamed in directly from a morning game of football on …

  •  The Mare Imbrium's warp coils threw a blue glow over the slender, white support arms of Deep Space Research Station A-35. It had taken the team a few hours to get a cable attached from the umbilical port on the runabout to a jerry-rigged adapter on…
  •  The sensor readings were plain as day: two-hundred seventy-three Orions occupied several compartments in the research station's central structure. The dampening field they'd set up to conceal themselves was relatively easy for the runabout's sensor…
  • //A Few Days Later Zeta Archanis was an obscure system just on the Federation side of the border with the Klingons. Along with a handful of gas giants, it had one terrestrial planet that careened between getting so close to the sun that its surface…
  • The Mare Imbrium was suspended far above the deck by a ceiling-mounted tractor beam as a long wedge-shaped module was moved into position by another tractor beam located on the bulkhead of the runabout bay. There was a clunk and then the sound of ma…
  • “Lieutenant Bowens, report to Rear Admiral Seagraves on the double.” The announcement floated in over the noise of the officers’ lounge, causing a few eyes to turn towards where the eponymous lieutenant was sitting at the bar. Bowens reveled in the…
  • The widest deck of the ship’s saucer section provided the best space for running on the Arcturus that was not a treadmill, holographic or otherwise. Down the center of the wide recreational gallery on the edge of the deck was a space made to mimic t…
  • (Image) Episode 2: Andorian En Garde With the opening of the Barzan Wormhole coming in just a few days, the Arcturus makes port at Guardian Station over Barzan II, where her captain and crew are both surprised by last minute orders from Starfleet: t…
  • // USS Arcturus - Main Bridge // Two Days Later 
The final checks to get the Arcturus ready for launch had gone flawlessly. Every system from the warp engines straight down to the holographic waiters in the ship’s lounges were ready and wa…
  • // USS Arcturus, Captain Lancaster and Doctor Sheppard’s Quarters 
 
The senior-most officers had impressive quarters located in the superstructure under the bridge, which, unusually for a starship, each spanned two decks. Fleet C…
  • Captain’s Log, Supplemental. Thanks to the swift thinking of Captain Lancaster and the intervention of the Atascadero, all four of my officers are now safely onboard the Arcturus. While Dr. Sheppard and Lieutenant Ohala have already been cleared for…
  • // USS Janice Rand, Bridge Sheppard was seated at the bridge’s tiny science station. They had sensors back online, but there was nothing of interest out their in the blackness. The helm console had been locked on a fixed course: directly to Epsilon…
  • // USS Arcturus - Main Bridge 
 
Hayden stood from her chair when she saw the burst of energy from the Ella Fitzgerald collide with the shields of the runabouts that Epsilon Indi Station had sent out after Pressman. His plot thwar…
  • //Waverider Ella Fititzgerald (NCC-84000-2) 
As the Ella Fitzgerald crossed the heliopause into the Epsilon Indi system, the cockpit controls locked out, simply displaying the words ‘Autopilot Engaged’ on every control surface within the ca…
  • // USS Janice Rand, Captain's Quarters Lancaster had been moody and distant after they sent the message through his biomonitor, so Sheppard had done his best to give him some space, but he’d been alone for nearly twenty minutes until he found him i…
  • // USS Arcturus, Bridge “Transmit a full report to Starfleet Security and Starfleet Intelligence,” Hayden ordered, locking eyes with Commander Alesser over Doctor Anjar’s shoulder. She was seething. The ship hadn’t even left port and they were face…
  • // USS Janice Rand, Bridge “You’re positive?” 
“Yes, sir. Visual inspection of the cargo hold confirms that a thousand kilos of ultritium were removed from the hold. Likely using the transporter enhancers we brought with us,” Evandrion repli…
  • // USS Arcturus, Sickbay In sickbay, Dr. Anjar was hard at work analyzing the lifesigns that were being sent intermittently and he was frustrated. These particular lifesigns didn’t show anything that was hugely concerning—just four beings who were …
  • //Waverider Ella Fititzgerald (NCC-84000-2) Meanwhile on the Ella Fitzgerald, Lieutenant Pressman was sitting in the pilot’s seat in the cockpit. The shuttle hadn’t been secured by command codes, so his normal Starfleet authority was enough for hi…
  • // USS Janice Rand, Ward Room When Lancaster came to, he was groggy and felt the immediate need to vomit: as sure a sign as any that he’d been struck by a phaser blast. His wrists and ankles were bound, and all he could see was light when he opened…
