EXECUTIVE OFFICERS LOG LT. COMDR., MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN CHIEF ENGINEER / XO UMF EXODUS
EN ROUTE: Omicron Sigma II
ALERT: GREEN
We have battled the Imlubari with the help of the Sigman ships. We took damage, but not severe... evacuation of Milantheus successful. Milanthean colonists will be transported to Omicron Sigma II.
Repairs under way, we should be ships shape in two solar days.
The holographic ship crews did a marvelous job in battle, as did Exodus crew.
Imlubari fired on the abandoned colony out of sheer meanness.
Spirits are high, no casualties

VIA TRICORDER: SURFACE OF OMICRON SIGMA II
We are laying over while the holographic entities replicate repairs for the Exodus. Things proceed nicely, 93% repairs complete.
Authorized shore leave for Alpha Shift command staff, will see if we can get the crew some down time.
Have joined Capt. Rheis in the caves below the surface. We have investigated only part of one level of the great machine.
Have found holographic record revealing original inhabitants ancestors had battled the Borg, and had created the "planet killer" weapon of last resort dealt with by Capt. J. T. Kirk (Enterprise NCC 1701 A). Neutronium hulled device shaped like an irregular cone, firing a particle beam capable of destroying a planet, tractoring in massive chunks and digesting it.
Omicron Sigman power source may be a Total Conversion reaction... we must not let the technology fall into the wrong hands.
Must program planetary defenses to repel all but chosen space craft.

VIA TRICORDER SURFACE OF OMICRON SIGMA II
After a close encounter with a slashback, and a Terran tiger, I have seen multiple manifestations of the level of holographic / replicating / mind reading technology of this world. Needless to say, I called out for firing on the slashback, which I now feel would have offered no harm.
Certainly the tiger was civilized enough in his behavior.
This planet MUST be protected from encroachment by unscrupulous peoples. I suggest a planetary defense system be replicated and the command section of the main computer code worded...
This seems a good world for the new colonists, I certainly would not mind visiting here again, though the wilderness is tamer than I would be used to... dangerous thought. I trust myself to survive an iniquitous wildlife, but not the colonists.
The replicating function of the Delta Sigman machine gives me an idea... being an engineer means getting dirty, and one has no choice but to get wet. I think a multi access rotating powered brushing device can be designed and installed on Exodus... for scrubbing and fur maintenance.

IN ORBIT: OMICRON SIGMA II ALERT STATUS: GREEN
We have established that the Omicron Sigma machine devotes much capacity to holographic / replicator technology. The holograms (in spite of my worries) assure us they can protect the technology and new colonists from incursion by the wrong people. I am not sure.... Mental discipline is not easy to maintain, example of fish and things appearing.
BREAK BREAK ALERT STATUS: RED
Report from bridge, ship entering system. Have returned to ship and taken command, Federation ship Renegade (NCC 34707) has come into system. Alpha crew returning. Shields and weapons charged, engines coming online.
Incoming ship identifies itself as here to move Milantheuns, a patently false statement as this class of ship (New Orleans class hunter / killer) is incapable of transporting large numbers of passengers.
Ship commanded by cadet captain Randall... refuses to authenticate Star Fleet orders on relocation, has threatened to open fire. His firepower is good, shields average. Exodus can take her, and if she fires on us, I am certain the Sigman holopeople will take a hand. Possibility that officers of Renegade have been supplanted by cadets...
I have ordered battle stations gun / torpedo action, alpha crew is taking stations. Returning command to Capt. Rheis

AT STATION XF 14 VIA COMM LINK
Report ship 96% repaired, we can see about cosmetic damage later. Engines, weapons, shields and ships services running normally.
We have docked at another of the ubiquitous private stations, this one on the frontier of Kzin space (FX 14). I find Kzinti uniformly unappealing for fellow felinoids. No accounting for tastes, they may dislike the appearance of Sivaoans...
Have found a place to eat, not prepossessing in appearance, but clean and the steaks smell right. Bloody charred meat... it has been a while, must see about extending the menu on our replicators. Perhaps we could dedicate some hold space to foodstuffs and put on a galley staff.
I wish to return to Omicron Sigma II and upgrade our replication facilities.
Approached by a Federation official, an officer in mufti by his bearing. He has offered us a job transporting a Federation ambassador from Beta Taranaga... I think we could use a non stress run... but not till I have had my steak and ice cream.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S LOG UMF EXODUS LT. COMMANDER MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN CHIEF ENGINEER REPORTING
MOORED SB 214
Capt. Rheis has accepted a commission form the federation, to transport a diplomat from Beta Taranaga to sector 001. Taranagans have just developed warp technology and have no suitable ships.
Capt. Rheis has called this a milk run, which my philology subroutine says means easy trip. Yet, the Kzinti do not want this diplomat to reach 001.
I do not relish tangling with Kzin, they are fierce fighters and do not understand sportsmanship. Come to think of it, neither do most enemies of the humanoids...
Ship prepared, casting off

EXECUTIVE OFFICER LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN ON STATION (UNIDENTIFIED)
VIA TRICORDER
We have lost Exodus... the Kzinti males have caused us to self destruct my ship. Crew safely beamed off, on unnamed station. Here I find the Maquis have stored an old ambassador class ship. We take it as our own.
I have lost my usefuls, my knife, my scratching post, my brushing machine. They can be replaced. I have lost my home - again. First, Sivao, then Star Fleet...
I am already making plans to install Peltier generators in the new ship, I hope it is fueled and supplied. Engineering team working to power up station, and pre-launch the new ship. I suppose Deck Dept. will have to paint a new name on it, the All Palms are as invested in object names as Sivaoans are in their own names. I will take a party aboard to prep the ship for flight. It is a newer hull than Exodus, though the weapons and shields have not been upgraded by my team.
I have ideas already for modifications.

XO LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN ABOARD USS RANGER TO BE RENAMED
WE have taken possession of a hidden asteroid base, with a "mothballed" Ambassador class ship (Former USS Ranger). Loss of my Exodus has not made me happy. I was not able to download my files before leaving Exodus.
Repowered and rearmed Ranger... life support on ship coming back to life. It will be a larger ship than Exodus, but the automation on an Ambassador is superb.
No major problems with the ship, save a flux in the Bodner lines. I have a crew on it, repaired. I want a month to install Peltiers and check out the ship, but I did not get it... we move out to engage the Kzin.
I have contacted my Friend Mellisari, the Orion Science Officer now aboard USS Polaris, via a covert routing, to intercede on the behalf of he cadets of the Renegade... I hope she can help them. Maybe Mell and I can meet again, though it could cause her trouble with her carreer to meet with a known Maquis...

CHIEF ENGINEER'S LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN ABOARD USS RANGER
I have found the ship in good order, there were plenty of supplies at the highly automated Maquis asteroid base. Ranger stocked and fueled, I have had time to operate on low speed on one engine at a time and get Peltier generators installed. Life support has cleared the stale air, inertial compensators and artificial gravity in 4.0 condition. I want time to get into the temoral contaction compensator. Tactical reports weapons and shielding up to her standards, we are light on crew for a ship bigger than my old Exodus, but Ambassador class ships are mostly automated anyway.
Turning Engineering over to my able crew, returning to bridge.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER LOG
I have returned to the bridge, to find a Galaxy class accosting us - USS Khartoum. Captain seems to need a good cuffing. He has attempted to arrest the crew, and impound my new ship -- sent boarders. MACO Capt. Brekke has returned the compliment, boarding the Khartoum and taking her Engineering section. One trooper on our bridge taken out our boarders. I wanted a good fight, they angered me.
Arrival: Admiral Helm. Aboard a Sovereign class. He does not seem upset that we have taken the Khartoum.
As soon as protocol is finished, we resume course to 001 and Earth... maybe shore leave? Star Fleet central may not like us being in their front yard...

EXECUTIVE OFFICER LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN USS RANGER
We have left Star Base 1. Leaving Earth system at speed. The ambassador has been safely delivered.
The meeting with Adm. Helm was... confusing. I almost thought he was offering us commissions with Fleet again, and I still have my fur in a ruck over my court martial.
I think I have figured out what Adm. Helm was offering... he wants us to be agents for him, while maintaining our status as renegades so we are not bound by Federation rules. I am not comfortable being hunted by Fleet, less so working for them. This seems to be the consensus among the officers of Ranger.
We left 001 with good speed, my compliments to the engineering crew, they had us up in 2.5 minutes and ready to move. Three ships detected, I THINK we have escaped clean. WE will take a circuitous route back to Milantheus, and mine as much benamite as we can in a short time.
WE should be able to refuel at the Omicron Sigma base, the holograms will protect the system from hostile incursion. We can use Omicron Sigma for a base.
I wonder if I will be able to return to Sivao, if the Federation declares me outlaw I will be in danger of being turned in and taken to a penal colony.
I must get time to repaint the name on the hull. USS is not appropriate for us, and many of the crew races see some equivalent to christening as necessary for "good luck."
Our crew is smaller than I would like, but the automated systems will be treated with constant watching.

ALERT: GREEN
We have left Star Base 1 (Sector 001) and an unhappy admiral, returning to the Milantheus area.
Hunting for benamite, I did not sign on to be a meteor miner, but the ship must be supported. We are scanning for benamite, have found amethyst in large amount.
ALERT: YELLOW
Have detected large number of Imlubari ships, Long Range Sensors indicate their weapons powered up, no opponent found,
Amethyst deposit beamed aboard, making preparations to obtain a deposit of benamite, method under discussion

We have succesfully retrieved a large amount of benamite from the asteroid in the Malentheus system. Used worker bees on remote. Bees recovered, ore is high grade yielding 87% or better benamite.
Imlubari ships massing on border. Holograph of Sovereign class ships prepared. Maybe we can bluff our way out.
Must inform Star Fleet of impending Imlubari incursion.

EXEC. OFF. LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN IND RANGER
We have collected a large amount of benamite. Federation ships detected approaching the Imlubari fleet. Possible we will engage from rear.
Second force Federation ships detected. Peltier generators online, linked to phaser accumulators.
Inspite of my spoken objections, battle engaged... Imlubari ships dispersed, most destroyed. We lived!
Federation ship disabled, we are moving in to tow. That should stir up some hostility.

EXEUTIVE OFFICER / CHIEF ENGINEER LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN IND. RANGER
Have successfully engaged and disengaged from Imlubari hostiles. Heavy damage inflicted on Imlubari, Star Fleet engaged and winning.
USS Maywether damaged by Imlubari fire. We moved in and towed her out of the way, captain ungrateful stiff tailed fuzzbrain seems our bridge consensus.
Rengaged Imlubari ship. Quantum torpedos effective, captain ordered firing of one of the "vampire bat" torpedos. Biomolecular acid is an atrocious weapon.
I hope Star Fleet does not decide to try and confiscate the vampire torpedos. I hope Star Fleet just goes away.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN IND. RANGER
Have cleared battle zone, most battle damage repaired. Will hire port facilities for remainder. WIth our cargo of benamite we can afford it.
Have set course for Delta Maxia... I am informed it is a paradise for humans, I personally do not see the attraction to the ocean... I do not swim for fun, though I have passed the Star Fleet water safety course.
Perhaps I will take in some of the lectures the captain suggested. Or perhaps I will bake in the sun. I like basking.
Capt. Rheis has told me we are to meet a Dr. Khambatti... He is related to my friend Mellisari's husband, I can perhaps contact her from his comm unit and not cause her problems.
