EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN IND. RANGER
We have arrived at Delta Maxia. Accompanied Capt. Rheis with the benamite... executive officer duty of pushing a grav cart!
Doctor Buphendra Khambatti seems very pleasant, his group will be upgrading Ranger with a Quantum Slipstream Drive. I have studied the literature on the QSD and feel confident I can train the crew to handle it.
Opportunity came to contact Mellisari, but she was on duty at the time. I recorded a message on How It Happened on Exodus and later Ranger, knowing she has the All Palms disregard for small details, I kept the message to a short, relatively undetailed recitation of three hours.

ON DELTA MAXIA
Delivery of Benamite complete. Dr. Buphendra Khambatti hsa taken charge of the 250 Kilos.... he seems pleased with the amount and purity. This has paid for an upgrade to my engine rooms, QUantum Slipstream Drive installing now. I should be aboard supervising, but the Captain has insisted I get some rest. Attending teleconference lectures and prowling manuals.
Dr. Khambatti has come up with a request. He wants us to proceed to Delta Quadrant and check out possible hostile build up by the VIdiians. Dangerous. The Vidiians are highly advanced and even our Ambassador class ship is outclassed by Vidiian warships... this is a mission for walking softly and running at need.
I have notified Operations to place the crew on ready status, we will beam up for tests and then the mission.
PERSONAL NOTE: I wait a return message from Mellisari... She is busy on a new assignment which is secret, my message to her was routed through Polaris, Vigilant, Central point station, and destination unknown.

CHIEF ENGINEEER / EXECUTIVE OFFICER LOG LT. COMDR MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN IND SS RANGER
Installation of QSD is complete, my crew is drilling on the system. Engine room back in order.
We have a mission, investigating a buildup of Vidiian ships. It is in the Delta quatrant, we shall be using the slipstream part way. Vidiians are warlike and likely outnumber us, we may need the drive.
Billibrew reports monatomic dust build up in injector channel, I have gone in to break it up. Will report to sick bay for dust inhalation and radiation exposure exam

ENGINEERING / EXECUTIVE OFFICER LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN IND. SS RANGER
Have left Delta Maxia to investigate possible build up of Vidiian forces. Ship repairs and upgrades complete.
Dr. Khambatti's crews have done a fine job intalling the slip stream drive, and returned my engine room to good condition.
BREAK BREAK
Test underweigh... quantum slipstream drive needing only minor adjustments. Power holding smooth, rerouting Peltier power to shields - it gives the engineers something to do.
Drive holds up well, repeated suggestions to Commanding Officer to see what we can do downchecked...
Reaching Vidiian border. Quantum drive to standby, I will stand by and monitor from the bridge.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER LOG SS RANGER LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN REPORTING
I have returned to the bridge, after dialing in the slipstream drive. Drive operating well within specifications. Engineering crew is competent to monitor slipstream drive with supervision from bridge, though I will maintain close watch. It is my opinion that promotions in engineering are in order.
We are approaching the coordinates in the Delta sector, will begin surveillance for Vidiian raiders. We are on our own here, we cannot call on Maquis and of course we cannot count on Federation back up.
YELLOW ALERT
Have sighted USS Ascension, have powered weapons array. Boosted sensors with rerouted warp engine power. No life signs. No battle damage. No other contacts. Marines will board. It is a mystery and not a good one, how could the crew of a Federation warship be taken off without battle... ? I will have the slipstream drive on standby, operations will monitor away team. I have accessed Ascension's computer, Capt. Rheis will begin the delicate task of getting it to talk to us.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN SS RANGER
Have accessed computers and sensor suite on Ascension. Crew taken off without battle damage. I am concerned for the safety of my captain and crew, if the Vidiians can take a Fleet star ship crew without battle, our ship could be easy meat. We do carry non standard torpedoes, but will we get a chance to use them? I fear we have stuck our collective tails in it this time.
Have detected warp trail thanks to Lon Stadi and Ken Miller, following. Have programmed Ascension to follow at one light year.
BREAK BREAK
Have found Vidiian cruiser. Towing cargo pod, human readings in pod. Stopping Ascension...
BREAK BREAK
Captain has used Piccard maneuver to attack Vidiians, we are successful! Medical personnel report Ascension crew in good shape, which is only reasonable as the Vidiians would want their donors healthy.
Returning Ascension crew to their ship, we hope to establish the method of the Vidiian attack. We may have to stay out here and investigate.
We are far from help, unless Ascension's captain chooses to back us up, and Star Fleet captains can be remarkably stiff tailed about helping independent crews...

EXECUTIVE OFFICER LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN SS RANGER
Reporting Ascension crew returned, minor injuries only. Have slipped out of their computer, which I was using to access logs, sensors and have the ship follow Ranger. My to Ennien sense of humor left the command channel with a bugle call to announce the captain coming on line.
USS Polaris has joined us, we now have a respectable force to counter the four Vidiian cruisers approaching.
Have talked with Amir Khambatti, Specialist on Polaris, and husband of my former Academy roommate Mellisari.
They are making me keep messages short.
AM now in contact with Mellisari, have passed suggestion along to her to offer organ cloning to the Vidiians, she has taken over negotiating on the communicator, I am doing my best to not bump her, but, I have an uncontrollabe urge to be involved.
I may know where to find restricted cloning devices... or know someone who knows someone.
Vidiians responding favorably.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN SS RANGER
IN FORMATION WITH ASCENSION AND POLARIS
Standing off four Vidiian cruisers. We have sufficient forces to prevail, though damage on our side is likely to be heavy.
Polaris has been in contact, I have passed the word about offering cloning organs to the Vidiians. Capt. Dantara and my former roommate Mellisari have been negotiating with the Vidiian force commander, though I have been encouraging for attack. I do not trust the Vidiians and I think they should be wiped out as quickly as is feasable.
I have listened in on the transmissions from Mellisari and Capt. Dantara, the Vidiians want somthing called kuvah'magh, I am alarmed to find they may want Mellisari's amniotic fluid. She should not go into a sharpclaw den...
Capt Rheis councils me to patience, I will listen

Word has come from the Polaris. My friend Mellisari and another aboard have volunteered samples of their amniotic fluid, hybrids, to try the cure for the Vidiians.
I have councilled Mellisari against it. I do not trust the Vidiians and think we should attack. Capt. Rheis wants to give a peaceful solution a chance.
The Vidiians too seem open to this, as their task force commander has fired on one of the Vidiian ships that broke formation and took an attack profile against Polaris.
I hope this kuvah'magh works. I do not wish my friend to be harvested.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN SS EXODUS
FOR NOW
An Envoy General from Diplomatic Corps has come aboard from USS Khitomer. She has offered us a ship, a job undercover infiltrating into areas of criminal activity... and Section 31. The Section is rutheless and powerful, it is not an enemy to engage lightly.
We will have sanction, ID to get us out of trouble with Fleet if accosted...
I have chosen to fly with Capt. Rheis. I am outlaw anyway, at heart.
On the brighter side... I have been paid 1000 bars of Gold pressed latinum for my modifications to our lost Ranger. Adm. Griffin had planned to sell my modifications. I do not know what Star Fleet will do with Peltier generators.
Our new ship is to be small and fast, a prototype from what I gather. I look forward to getting at her engines. We proceed to Central Point.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S LOG MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN SHIP UNAMED
I find myself shifting quarters again. Diplomatic Corps has hired us to infiltrate the Caribe section. We have been given a small ship, powerful! It has an AI concierge... Axis. Corps has incorporated my prefered modifications to engines and power curve. And I have been paid for my modifcations to Ranger. I have a budget.
We are to stage a raid on an automated freighter, appropriating it's load of Trillium. This will establish our bona fides with the black market.
I have an idea to further my image as a pirate... It amuses me.

PERSONAL LOG LT. COMDR. MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN USS EXODUS
We have left Kilimanjaro - the ship had not yet earned its new name - and have moved to the former Vigilant. Smaller, more maneuvrable, armored... we have been informed by the ships AI that my usual upgrades and Peltier generators are installed... I will get a chance to tear down the engine room and look.
Much of our old crew have returned to their home, taking advantage of the amnesty. We shall not be overcrowded.
I am ready to start my life as an undercover pilot, once we make a side trip for the crew's health concerns.
I have decided I need to enhance my image as a law breaker. What I plan to do is a health hazzard, but our doctor is skilled enough to correct any detrimental effects.

Medical attention has been given to Doctor.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER LOG LT COMDR MOONSHADOWS TO ENNIEN SS EXODUS
There has been battle, pirates (unidentifed) attacked USS Curie, a medical / science ship. Damaged Curie.
Attacked and destroyed pirates, shields were worn down slightly, regenerated.
The captain has decided this is a good opportunity to continue and enhance our image as pirate ourselves, at odds with the real pirates, and we have taken a cargo of medical supplies. My only real objection is that it crowds our holds with the cargo we already had to sell at the grey market base. My ship will not be as lively to maneuver.
BREAK BREAK
Bilogical contact. We have a stowaway. Identified as Mr. Stadi's sister, a betazoid. She may have been in telepathic contact with Lon Stadi, and know to much. Do we add kidnapping to to our resume'?

We have beaten a pirate (destroyed) ship in combat, pirate attacking Federation Med ship USS CURIE.
In line with our cover story as pirates, we have beamed off a cargo of medical supplies.
BREAK BREAK
This will teach me to engage biofilters on transporters. We have a stowaway. Captain Rheis and helmsman Stadi have gone to investigate. Curie towed out of asteroid belt, affecting own repairs.
I have the conn, have set course for Caribe IV warp 2 to sell our cargos. Am in text contact with Captain.
BREAK BREAK
Curie commander has hailed us demanding return of his kidnapped crew person, informed him crewman beamed over voluntarily, will be set free at Federation consulate on Carive IV.
CONTACT CONTACT
Sensors have detected three incoming. Ships seem to be lightly manned, heavily armed auxiliaries. Consider pirates. They seem to have detected our beaming the Curie cargo aboard, they are ignoring her and chasing us. On orders, I have directed Exodus into a cosmic dust cloud, reduced speed and engaged cloak. Changed course.
Captain has returned to bridge, I stand relieved.
On orders, we have launched a low speed torpedo mimicking our warp signature. Pirates have taken to chasing its tail.
Course for Caribe IV resumed, when there we shall see about selling our two cargos, and gather what intelligence we can.
PERSONAL NOTE: It seems cigar smoke is hard to get out of fur, licking will not do it. Must talk to AXIS about a deodorizing shampoo.
