DS2 RPG General Status Report January 2010 Lorem The conflict between the Moeral and the Sermat will not easily be converted into peace. Christine Steichen takes the spirit of Ginoram the greatest worrier ever of the Sermat, to the crypt of Knolar, the greatest worrier ever of the Moeral. On her way Christine notices that she is followed. But her followers do not seem to have bad things in mind. They are Sermat. An hour later more followers appear, not in the forest anymore, but aside the open road. But these followers are Moeral. Strangely enough the Moeral do not attack Christine, but they do not attack the Sermat either. Another hour later Christine arrives at the crypt of Knolar. Without hesitation she enters. The Sermat and Moeral who followed her stay at the large gate. There is tension between the two groups, but they stay way from eachother far enough, not to make any provocations. Both groups now contain about thirty people. Once inside the crypt Christine opens Ginoram's device. "Thank you Christine. Leave my spirit container on the ground and leave now. Now it is my turn. Knolar! Knolar! I know you can hear me and I know you speak my language. We have a lot to talk about." A second later another spirit appears a few meters in front of Ginoram. "Ginoram. I don't know what you want but first the lady at your side has to leave before we go any further." Both spirits look at Christine and wait. Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 369 The USS Iceberg is on its way to Starbase 369 to help out the marines stationed there, under command of Lieutenant Holderman. At the same time the 369th fleet is also on its way to Starbase 369 to help out either to attack or for an immediate evacuation. At the same time things are looking bad for Starbase 369. Horkan the Ori Prior seems unstoppable. Still talking about the Book of Origin and the way to salvation, Horkan marches through the corridors of Starbase 369, trying to convince and convert the Starfleet personnel. But he does not have a lot of success to say the least. Instead of people calming down, the officers have started a fight against Horkan. But Horkan has the power of the Ori Prior and the security officers and marines do not seem to be able to break those defences. At last the USS Iceberg arrives in firing range of Starbase 369. There is a new report for Commodore Van Nieuwenhove from his Security Chief. "Sir, it is as if we are firing holographic bullets. we have tried everything. We cannot stop him. Damage is bad on the lower levels, life support, forcefields, they are gone sir. I recommend a total evacuation. We are not cowards sir, but the situation is getting hopeless." But Commodore Van Nieuwenhove has another trick. "Q where are you?" Commodore Van Nieuwenhove calls for Q, hoping he can help or at least get some answers about what is going on here. In a bright flash Q appears. "Mon Commodore. You called? Do you really need my help? Moi? I am honored. What can humble moi do for you?" Then the report comes in that the 369th fleet is only 10 minutes away from Starbase 369. Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt The blond woman visiting Commodore Mechels has a strange look on her face when the Commodore calls security. In a second four security officers enter the room. Commodore Mechels has some questions and some orders. "How did that woman get here. This is a Borg enhanced ship. This woman is not one of the crew. Put her in a holding cell and interrogate her with all possible tricks to let her talk." The loud objections of the blond woman do not help. The four officers grab her and drag her out of the room, leaving Commodore Mechels alone. The Commodore returns to his regular duties which is sorting out information from the Borg Collective. A few hours later Master One has a report about the blond woman called Caprica. "Commodore. We have obtained the information you requested. Apparently there was a software malfunction. It has been downloaded in our universe. That is exceptional and strange but possible. We can send it back any time we want." Chief of Security Tomar still has a question. "Master One you keep refering to this woman as it. Is this woman not human. I ask because on our scans this woman appears to be human." "Well Commander, I asumed you already knew, but apparently not. This is a machine. She appears to be human in all aspects, but it is not. Commodore, it has offered help in beating the Ori Priors, but I do not think it can help. It is a programmed machine. Maybe it can adapt and learn, but the only way to control it is assimilation. Of course we also could send it back were it belongs. That is just a matter of data transfer." Players: Helena Straetman,Caroline Keuleers,Willem Keuleers, Lieselotte Keuleers, Wouter Keuleers USS Walang In search of the maker of the Zolo artwork that both the Kirie and the Trsterts have recognised have lead the USS Strike and some scouts from the Scaton Federation to a planet where the people should know more about the Zolo. The only problem is that the entire population of the planet is in war. When three Kirie arrive they can only be sad over the war. As these people have been at war for thousands of years. The planet is called Devas. there are nine different kind of humanoids fighting eachother. It is unbelievable that there are still people on the planet who survived. Looking closer to the planet it becomes clear that all nine factions are fighting everyone else. none of them fight together. None seem to have a treaty of any kind. The Kirie explain that the fight is about ruling the planet, but no factions is big enough to do so. It started when one of them attacked another. That was thousands of years ago. They do not know what the war is all about. Most of the people live under the planet surface. there they live in peace. Only on the surface there is a devestating war going... Most of the fighting is conducted by robots and devices which are controled by remote control. The people themselves do not fight anymore. Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 202 00.32 The doublestar close to the USS Vertigo sends out an unknown radiation which interferes with the ship's systems. More and more systems fail. Day 202 10.17 Life support on decks 9, 10, 12 and 13 fail. Personnel on those decks are evacuated. Day 203 13.09 Chief Engineer Commander Tony Camero has found a way to reconfigure the shield harmonics to compensate for the radiation of the pulsar. One system after the other is back on line. With communications on line again the USS Vertigo receives a distress call from a ship also in trouble by the radiation of the pulsar. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg General Crow gives his orders; They are very clear. "We will get to Starbase 369. It is only an hour away. When fellow marines are in danger we go and help them if we can. So on to starbase 369 and in the mean time we'll plant a homingbeacon on to the Ori ships so we know were their going." The USS Iceberg is on its way to Starbase 369 to help out the marines stationed there, under command of Lieutenant Holderman. At the same time the 369th fleet is also on its way to Starbase 369 to help out either to attack or for an immediate evacuation. At the same time things are looking bad for Starbase 369. Horkan the Ori Prior seems unstoppable.

But Horkan has the power of the Ori Prior and the security officers and marines do not seem to be able to break those defences. At last the USS Iceberg arrives in firing range of Starbase 369. Atad reports: "Sir, we detect multiple firing on level 25. This Horkan Prior is surrounded by a shield our weapons cannot penetrate. It is worse than the Borg sir. Parts of the Starbase have been damaged: life support, forcefields, gone sir. This Horkan is making his way to Starbase operations. I suggest an evacuation and we should be fast with that... Sir the 369th fleet will be here in 10 minutes." Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington are missing. The USS Paladin is the only ship that has not given up the search... Aboard the USS Atlantis Day74 - five days on the planet Arilon Captain Walker is getting inpatient. The Elementals take their time. "Anakaa, what is the hold up, will they help us or not." "Captain these Elimentals need time. They are comunicating with all Arilons at once." "Sonak, can you clarify." "I would seem logical that the Arilons are a race of thinkers." "That is corect Cmdr. Sonak. They are thinkers, as soon they have alined their thoughs and made a link to eachother they will have an anwser for you." Then Ally Jones reports. "Captain!" "Yes!" "Heara is back!" "Thank you, cmdr. Heara! do you have an answer." "Yes Captain Walker, we will grant you, your reguest. On one condition, that you follow the path you are given. If you don't, we are not responsible for the consqences." Anakaa, responsible for the navigation of the ship... "What route have you chosen?" "The Antares sector, it is not the safest route but you have chance. The Eray is on the Outer Rim on the fith planet Aegenon." "Captain the Aegenons are not peacefull, they are wurshipers of vilance in all ways. They will not let you use the Eray without a fght." But Captain Walker has doubts. "What about the rest of my crew!" "Your crew will be returned to you. Have a good a safe youney." "Thank you Heara, peace and happiness to Arilons. Walker to Atlantis." "T'Lak here Captain, are you alright Captain!" "Yes, beam us up T'Lak." A few minutes later on the bridge of the Atlantis. "Helm, take us out of orbid, ahead warp 4." "Aye Captain, warp 4." Walker has some more orders. "Mr Sonak and Anakaa, look over the coordinates given by the Arilons. Check them over in Stellar Cartography." ------------------------------------------- Aboard the USS Elpaso/Arlington RED ALERT RED ALERT Yorlan reports. "T'lau, ship approching orbit of the planet ahead." "Yorlan, scan the ship." "Is not a Drafta." "That does not tell us much cmdr." The Drafta is an alien race that helped the Elpaso and Arlington with food and other ship suplies. Tonas reports. "No respons to our hail Captain." T'lau does not hesitate. "All hands this Captain T'lau, mand all battle stations we are being approached by an unidentified ship." Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier USS Alice Cooper On route to Starbase 781 the crew of the USS Alice Cooper-B returns to regular duties. But for ambassador Jas Stevens the world is totaly different. Not knowing what happens to him aboard the USS alice Cooper-B, ambassador Stevens seems to be in a totally different world. All kinds of strange visitors come by and talk to him. He seems to be in an institution or a hospital of some kind. But he feels better and asks why he is there. But there is no answer...

It is sure that they have already taken control over the Earth president and the Centauri emperor. Who is next? And will this end in the biggest civil war ever? There is a man fishing at a lake. He has just killed a creature who wanted to take over his body as one alike did with leaders not far from his planet. But this man does not care about Earth, Centauri, Minbari or Narn. This man only wants to relax and fish. But the Drakh have other plans. They launch a large assault on the man in an attempt to enslave him. It is a short fight with a large number of bodies in the lake. the fish in the lake welcome the extra food... The man still sits there at the lake... fishing as nothing had happened... Players: Steve Elliot DS2 RPG General Status Report February 2010 Lorem The conflict between the Moeral and the Sermat seems to last forever. Christine Steichen meets the two most fierce warriors of both species, Ginoram the greatest worrier ever of the Sermat and Knolar, the greatest worrier ever of the Moeral. Both of them are spirits now as they were killed thousands of years ago in battle. But their spirits remained. Both Ginoram and Knolar are now standing in front of eachother... At first peace seems farther away than ever for the Moeral and the Sermat. "Where were the days of glory Knolar? Will they ever come again? Or is it true that there can be peace between our peoples?" "You know Ginoram, we were not the leaders of our peoples. We are only soldiers who have taken orders and killed many..." "Yes Knolar, we killed many..." "But they come back these days Ginoram. They respawn somehow..." "So what is the point in continue the fighting Knolar?" Outside the crypt some of the Moeral are shouting at the Sermat. Some of them are already pushing eachother. A few minutes later Two large groups of Sermat and Moeral have regrouped and are standing in battleformation ready to attack. And then a few arrows disturbe the stand off. A few green and purrple lights fill the air... The battle has begun... Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 369 Things are looking bad for Starbase 369. Horkan the Ori Prior seems unstoppable. Still talking about the Book of Origin and the way to salvation, Horkan marches through the corridors of Starbase 369, trying to convince and convert the Starfleet personnel. Starfleet weapons do not seem to hurt him. But Commodore Van Nieuwenhove calls for help. He calls Q. Q arrives at Starbase 369 in his usual theatrical way, and without waisting time he is making fun of the Commodore. "Well well well and these humans were convinced they were ready for the universe. Are you now really. And when they are in trouble, they call... moi. What is it that this Ori prior does wrong. Don't you have all kinds of religions in the Federation? Why is this one not allowed. Maybe he is just misunderstood. Have you even listened to what he has said? No you just grab a gun ad try to shoot him. He isn't even armed... oh yes I forgot... your technology has not reached that level yet. Oh well, then this is the end of humanity and your precious Federation." It seems Q is not much of help, but then he says something which could change the power of balance. "I am not going to help you, but maybe someone else can. Someone else who has encountered the Ori before. No no no. Why are you people always thinking about the Borg. The Borg also have been whiped by the Ori priors. Good bye Commodore. Call me when you need me." A bright flash of light almost blinds the Commodore. Q is gone. On the console behind him a beeping sound calls the commodore's attention. He turns around and sees a set of coordinates: Sector 56567. On the display he sees a vague immage of Q laughing. Then it is gone. Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Commodore Mechels asks Master one to execute his order. "Use the blond woman by assimilation. Let the blond woman help us with destroying, killing, the capture of these Ori Priors who are destroying the Borg planets and other planets." "Understood. But there are no promisses in this case. It has only the information which it has received." Security Chief Lieutenant Commander Tomar does not understand. "Master One, you call this an it. Isn't she a person?" "Commander, what you see here is a machine. I can understand your confusion as it appears to be human, but it is not. Shall we begin the assimilation." Lieutenant Commander Tomar has learned to trust Master One and lets him proceed. Master One approaches the blond woman called Caprica. Before Caprica has any idea what is happening to her, two black tubes come out of Master One's hand and nanoprobes are transfered into Caprica's body. In about 30 seconds the nanoprobes have taken over. Caprica is now a drone. But after a hour it is clear Caprica is a very complex machine to look, walk and talk like a human. Even its biosigns are look human. It is now clear Caprica does know nothing about Horkan the Ori Prior or any other Ori Prior. The question remains why Caprica was here... Apparently this information is not available in Caprica's memory. But after some research Master One finds out that a certain trigger could activate Caprica's purpose. But there is only one problem. The trigger contains Caprica being attacked and where Caprica kills her attackers. The attacker has to be actually dead before the trigger is activated. Players: Helena Straetman,Caroline Keuleers,Willem Keuleers, Lieselotte Keuleers, Wouter Keuleers USS Walang In search of the maker of the Zolo artwork that both the Kirie and the Trsterts have recognised have lead the USS Strike and some scouts from the Scaton Federation to the planet Devas where the people should know more about the Zolo. But on this planet everybody is fighting everybody on a planetary scale. The people live under the ground and have robots do the fighting for them. Captain Hendriks, in command of the USS Walang speaks for all the others. "If the Zolo can be found we could bring them into contact with the Kirie who seem to have known them. Some mysteries maybe solved." The Kirie suggest to contact just one of the factions and try to findout more about the Zolo. The Trsterts agree. There doesn't seem to be another way. One faction on the planet Devas is contacted. But the result is not what everyone hoped for. The faction is called Laahn. Minister Frodse is very short in his communication. "Are you going to help the Laahn conquer the planet?" "We are only looking for the Zolo, the makers of this artwork." "Good luck then." The communication channel is closed. The communications with the next three factions are not very different, but then the faction of the Moohn are more friendly. Minister Ahnjg seems to be a nice man. "I see. That is interesting. We are a people of science and culture. We only defend ourselves with our war machines. But our people have continued to live like we used to. So let me see... That artwork seems to be familiar. I will show you some pictures of some similar artwork. You will see the similarity immediately. Let me see. I see indeed. These works have been made by a species called the Zolo. But we haven't seen a Zolo for a very long time. We did have contact with them after they had left. They moved to sector 133654, to one of the starsystems there. That is all I can tell you." Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 203 20.17 The USS Vertigo is recovering from the radiation of a closeby pulsar. A nearby vessel in distress is helped. This vessel is a Sjor vessel and the Sjor crew is very thankful. Day 203 21.23 The Sjor do not take any chances and leave the pulsar. The USS Vertigo stays, but after a few hours Chief Engineer Tony Camero reports the shields are weakening 2 percent per hour. Day 204 10.06 Shields are down to 74 percent. Commodore Slater decides to leave the pulsar and visit the Sjor home planet. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg Things are looking bad for Starbase 369. Horkan the Ori Prior seems unstoppable. Still talking about the Book of Origin and the way to salvation, Horkan marches through the corridors of Starbase 369, trying to convince and convert the Starfleet personnel. Starfleet weapons do not seem to hurt him. The 369th fleet is now in firing range of Starbase 369. But apparently the fleet cannot communicate with the Starbase anymore. Their communications are jammed. The 369th fleet is followed by the USS Iceberg. Atad has a new report. "Sir there is no communication possible with the starbase. Our scans are blocked. I presume the starbase is in a bad state. We cannot reach our marines on the starbase either..." Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington are missing. The USS Paladin is the only ship that has not given up the search... Unknown to Starfleet Command... The USS Atlantis has made contact with the elementals of the Arilons. and are now ready to leave them. The USS Atlantis is traveling at warp 4... But to where... Probably not home... ------------------------------------------- The USS Arlington and Elpaso have encountered an unidentified ship. No communications have yet been made... Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier USS Alice Cooper Starbase 781. There is a personnel change aboard the USS Alice Cooper-B. The medical services of the starbase are superior to those of the starship, but Captain Raz Kalee has not yet made a decision on what to do about Ambassador Jas Stevens. The Ambassador is still in a coma in sikbay. But for ambassador Stevens the world seems a little different... Players: Crew of the USS Alice Cooper Ovion (Hirogen/Ori Hunting Vessel) Things are looking bad for Starbase 369. Horkan the Ori Prior seems unstoppable. Still talking about the Book of Origin and the way to salvation, Horkan marches through the corridors of Starbase 369, trying to convince and convert the Starfleet personnel. Starfleet weapons do not seem to hurt him. Horkan has jammed all communications. He doesn't seem to have much success with converting people to the way of the Ori on Starbase 369. While Starfleet personnel is trying to stop him, Horkan has come to the conclusion that this is a hopeless case. If people do not convert, if they do not want to follow the path of enlightment, there is only one option. They will be destroyed... Players: Thomas van Rhee Earth Alliance Starship (EAS) Terradyne Are the Drakh taking over, or is it not to late to counter them. It is sure that they have already taken control over the Earth president and the Centauri emperor. Who is next? And will this end in the biggest civil war ever? A man who wanted to have a fine and easy fishing day feels this day is not for him to fish. after he has been assaulted there are to many of his attackers in the lake. He fishes for a while but then gives up. The fish have a lot of food now and do not bite anymore... The man gets a bit angry. These Drakh have ruined a perfect fishing day. That will not be unanswered... The man takes a small control padd and pushes a few buttons. From high up in the sky a small vessel approaches and lands closeby. The man gets in. a few minutes later the small ship is in space looking for a jump point... Players: Steve Elliot DS2 RPG General Status Report March 2010 Lorem The conflict between the Moeral and the Sermat has reached another highlight with the start of a battle in front of the crypt where Ginoram the greatest worrier ever of the Sermat and Knolar, the greatest worrier ever of the Moeral are discussing the future of their people. The situation seems hopeless. Christine Steichen decides to ask the other Lorem what to do. As on command or her whish Elder Sram of the Lorem appears right in front of her. The moment he appears time stops. It is a strange sight. Seeing the soldiers of the Moeral and the Sermat in battle without them moving, is like a painting. But it is real. "You know they respawn everytime they are killed," says Elder Sram. "except for some humiliation they don't even feel it. We have visited this realm a few times, but we lost interest. This fighting gets boring you know. What I suggest is what the Sermat and Moeral need as an external enemy. Why don't you be the leader of that army and force them to join eachother. Become this one enemy so the Sermat and Moeral will at least stop fighting among eachother. But you have to consider they will attack you and your armies. It is not sure this will work, but it is worth a try. Eventually you can go and leave them letting them believe you are still there and if they do not work together they are in danger of destruction..." But there is also another thing as Elder Sram explains. "Maybe the Sermat and Moeral can wait. Join me in the Garden of Lorem. We have a problem which I cannot explain. You have to see it yourself without any information. We are looking for a new fresh view on things." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 369 While Horkan the Ori Prior walks around on Starbase 369 talking about the Book of Origin and the way to salvation, Commodore Geert Van Nieuwenhove has received a hint from Q. Not knowing what to expect in sector 56567, the people on the huge starbase are evacuated to the ships of the 369th fleet closeby. Leaving the starbase the entire 369th fleet sets course to sector 56567 without looking back. The journey takes almost 2 days, within the crews prepare for the worst and think about how to stop a powerful being as the Ori prior. When the 369th fleet finally arrives in sector 56567, there is a small star with only one planet, M-class. On the planet is a pre-industrial civilization, conducting the first space travels. They have no warp capability yet. Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Commodore Mechels has new orders concerning the blond woman Caprica which turns out to be a machine. This machine will only reveal information if she is triggered by something threatening its exsistance. "Some volonteers attack Caprica to activate the trigger. When the attackers do not survive the attack, maybe Master One can bring them back to live with Borg technology... maybe..." The assault on Caprica is carefully planned. Six marines, fully armoured and fully armed are standing ready. They surround Caprica, but nothing happens. Then the Sergeant Major gives the order to attack. Apparently that does the trick. Caprica seems to block and falls down. Two engineers enter and connect Caprica with a cable to a portable stand alone computer. They start the download. There is only one important issue coming from Caprica: Destroy humanity... Players: Helena Straetman,Caroline Keuleers,Willem Keuleers, Lieselotte Keuleers, Wouter Keuleers USS Walang Minister Ahnjg of the Moohn, one of the factions on planet Devas has informed the Kirie and the Trsterts that they may find their common friends, the Zolo in Sector 133654. Captain Hendriks orders to Proceed to the coordinates Minister Ahnjg has given: 133654 to find the Zolo. But the journey to Sector 133654 is interupted a few times. The USS Walang has to change course and go around areas in dispute or stay on certain trade routes. But eventully they arrive in Sector 133654. A small starsystem seems to be host of an adanced species. The USS Walang enters orbit of the most populated planet. Before Captain hendriks can make contact, the USS Walang is contacted by the species on the planet. "By the gates of Borom. Kirie! Trsterts! It has been to long... you must remember me. I am Prost Ludor of Zolo. you must be Loki the Kirie." Prost Ludor of zolo especially looks at the Kirie, who clearly gets a little bit emotional. "I do remember Prost Ludor. I do... and you are right. It has been to long..." Loki the Kirie introduces ambassador Lam of the Trsterts, the ambassadors of the Scaton federation and Captain Hendriks representing the United Federation of Planets. Prost Ludor invites everyone to join the Zolo for a big feast. But he is suddenly silent when Ambassador Lam of the Trsterts shows him the artwork. After a few seconds Prost Ludor seems to find words for what he sees. "... A real original work of art master Vinde... I don't know what to say... He will be so excited..." It seems the Zolo are immortal. They have lived for thousands of years, like the Kirie. Master Vinde who made the artwork is still making art. But this one is one of his early works. It must be thousands of years old. A few minutes later the USS Walang docks in the Zolo space harbour. The delegates, Ambassadors, Captain Hendriks and her entire crew are welcomed with music, dance, food and beverages. But the music is stopped when master Vinde arrives. He recognizes the Kirie called Loki. But he also knows about the Trsterts. And he recognizes his artwork. He shakes his big head. "Oh... I was so young then..." Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 209 14.16 The USS Vertigo is escorted to the Sjor homeworld where commodore Slater and his staff is welcomed as heroes. The Sjor only have 6 starships and the crew of the USS Vertigo has rescued one of those. Day 210 12.00 Commodore Slater and his staff are having dinner with the Sjor King and his staff.Of course the Sjor King wants to know everything about Federation, but especially Starfleet and Starfleet technology. When the Commodore does not want to share technology, the king is very disappointed. Day 210 03.17 The staff officers are wakened in their sleep. Sjor soldiers have entered their hotel to capture the Starfleet officers to force them to share technology. Chief of Engineering Commander Tony Camero and Chief of Operations Commander Lex Harding are captured and put in a Sjor holding cell. All the others can escape back to the USS Vertigo. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg "Save all remaining personnel of Starbase 369." The order is very clear. While General Crow gives his last orders, the transporters of the USS Iceberg start beaming up personnel from Starbase 369. While Horkan the Ori Prior walks around on Starbase 369 talking about the Book of Origin and the way to salvation, Commodore Geert Van Nieuwenhove has received a hint from Q to go to sector 56567. Not knowing what to expect in sector 56567, the people on the huge starbase are evacuated to the ships of the 369th fleet closeby. A part of them ends up on the USS Iceberg. Leaving the starbase the entire 369th fleet sets course to sector 56567 without looking back. The journey takes almost 2 days, within the crews prepare for the worst and think about how to stop a powerful being as the Ori prior. But General Crow might have other plans... Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis Aboard the USS Paladin the crew is still extremely motivated to find the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington. But besides the search, sector by sector, grid by grid, there is not much they can do. The warp trail of the ships has ended abruptly as if they were eaten by a space monster. Good news is that there is no debris. The space monster could be a wormhole or another kind of rift in space. There are indications that a wormhole has been at the last known position of the three missing ships. But where could this wormhole have lead the three ships? Is there a way to communicate with them and how? Can they return on their own? These are still questions which do not have an answer. But there is still hope. Relay station 23 Beta has sensor data of the entire sector. but the data is very expanded and analysing the data seems to take forever. The resolution of the data is not that good either, so there is some guessing and speculation necessary to determine what exactly is seen. Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier USS Alice Cooper Wondering around in his own universe, Ambassador Jas Stevens, is in fact still in sickbay aboard the USS Alice cooper-B, docked at Starbase 781. The crew has returned to regular duties, while some have the oportunity to visit family and friends on the starbase or relax among other people than there own crew. Suddenly tension rises on the starbase as an unidentified ship approaches and does not answer any hails. Yellow alert is initiated. Players: Crew of the USS Alice Cooper Ovion (Hirogen/Ori Hunting Vessel) While Horkan the Ori Prior walks around on Starbase 369 talking about the Book of Origin and the way to salvation, Commodore Geert Van Nieuwenhove has received a hint from Q to go to sector 56567.

Leaving the starbase the entire 369th fleet sets course to sector 56567 without looking back. The journey takes almost 2 days, within the crews prepare for the worst and think about how to stop a powerful being as the Ori prior. General Crow in command of the USS Iceberg might have different plans. It is not certain whether Horkan will stay on Starbase 369 or that he will follow the 369th fleet. Players: Thomas van Rhee Earth Alliance Starship (EAS) Terradyne Various crews on various ships are at their posts and stations. The waiting is the worst part especially when it is known that the President and the Centauri emperor are the victims of the Drakh. Until now there has not been any changes in the policies of those governments, but especially the Narn do not seem to be happy with the situation. They fear that they could be next. And there are not many Narn left. At least two groups of Narn soldiers are discovered to have plans to resort to violent actions. But FMAR Draan Marr himself has initiated secret missions as well. Nobody knows what these missions are about, only the ones directly involved. FMAR Draan Marr is waiting for the first reports... Players: Steve Elliot DS2 RPG General Status Report April 2010 Lorem The conflict between the Moeral and the Sermat seems to be hopeless and Christine decides to leave the Sermat and the Moeral. She will certainly not sacrifice herself for their peace. Therefore she follows Elder Sram of the Lorem to the Garden of Lorem to help him out with the problems the Lorem face. The garden is huge filled with all kinds of trees, plants, flowers and grass as paths. There is nothing artificial in or about the garden. There is even a light wind. Then Elder Sram points to a small pit. In the pit there is a device. It is a device of unknown origin, even for the Lorem it is unknown technology. "There was an old huge tree here, but this device has destroyed the tree. We don't know what it is. Not knowing for the Lorem is very unusual. We don't know what this is except that it is from your old universe. It is nothing old. It is brand new. We don't know whether this is a spying device or an ataack or a gift. And we need help to find out. You are the only Lorem who is from that universe. Of all of us you know the most of that universe as you have lived in it. Will you help us to find out what this is? I am not sure whether the Lorem's safety is at stake, but we need to be sure." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 369 Sector 56567... One planet... Pre-industrial... Beginning space travel... Commodore Van Nieuwenhove gives his orders. "The prime directive prevents us to interfere in this society. We will stay in orbit and observe these people. Maybe we can learn something. We have to watch out that they do not discover us." The first reports from the scientists from the entire 369th fleet are coming in within the first hours of the mission. The study of the planet and it's population is of course much faster with so much resources. Apparently the children are the most active on the entire planet. They do the most of the communications and even science work. It is not clear whether they actually rule the planet, but it is clear that the children are helping the population to develope. And they are rather fast. even the young children are helping developing the space program. It is amazing. Another hour later the crews of the Federation ships are alarmed by the launche of a rocket from the planet. In the command center of the launching site there are only children...

Day 210 4.13 Nothing has happened yet. The attempts to contact the Sjor have failed. The life signs of the two captured officers are stable and scanners detect no immediate danger. Day 210 5.36 USS vertigo Chief of Security Lieutenant Commander Matz is already waiting for several hours to get the two captured officers out of their cell. She can beam them out any time.

Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis There are no more traces to the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington. But Starfleet does not believe it is a hostile alien action and not an action of the already well known Ori Priors... But aboard the USS Paladin, the crew is at the point of having a breakthrough in the search. An unstable wormhole has appeared out of nowhere. A few probes are sent through. The wormhole stays for 4 minutes and 54 seconds and then it is gone again. But with the data probes have sent, the scientists can calculate when the wormhole will again appear and where it leads to. If it is stable at the other side, it is very much likely the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington have been gone through it and there is a chance to find them. Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier USS Alice Cooper The USS Alice Cooper-B is stationed at Starbase 781 at yellow alert as an unidentified ship approaches. The ship has not made contact with the starbase itself but opens communications with the USS Alice Cooper-B. "I am Captain Hreslo of the Kraken. First I would like to apologize for our presence here in your space without asking permission, but we are running out of time. One of your people... Ambassador Jas Stevens...

Shouldn't we wait? I hear there are already agents of FMAR Draan Marr..." "What? Where did you hear that? If we can know the Drakh can know. remember what happened last time we did this? We cannot take any chances. I have to go now. We will meet again here tomorrow but three hours later." "All right. See you tomorrow."

Christine decides to help the Lorem and will investigate the device, which is not without danger. Looking at the device Christine recognizes some Federation signatures, but the device is to advanced and she does not recognizes anything yet. After a while Christine has no choice than to touch the device and turn it, not knowing what will happen if the device is moved. But the first seconds nothing happens and then... "Christine Steichen recognized. Hello Christine. How have you been?" There is a mechanical voice speaking. For a moment nothing else happens and then... "Diagnostic complete." Again nothing seems to happen and the device seems to be waiting. it is strange the device recognizes Christine Steichen. "Christine, shall I activate myself?" Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 369 Sector 56567... One planet... Pre-industrial... Beginning space travel... Apparently the children are ruling on the planet. The children launche a rocket or a missile into space. For a moment there is a panic in the 369th fleet, but Commodore Van Nieuwenhove does not hesitate to give new orders. "Apparently the children rule this planet. We should talk to them." While the rocket has entered orbit a communication chanel is opened to contact the children on the planet at the launche center. It takes a few seconds before the universal translator works, but one of the children, apparently the leader, appears on the main viewer. "Hello stranger. Please tell me who you are. I am not allowed to talk to you if I don't know who you are." Commodore Van Nieuwenhove identifies himself and explains he is a representative of the United Federation of Planets. He adds that there are problems and he is looking for someone who can help. "I am Lorry. I am the elected spokesman. If you can talk to me from out of space, and you have traveled a great distance, you must be from an advanced species. I don't know whether we can help you. We have just launched our first satellite in space. We have no ability to travel to the next star. So how can we help?" Commodore Van Nieuwenhove explains about the Ori prior threatening the Federation and that on advice of the omnipotent Q, he has come to this planet. But Lorry has not heard of Q. "We still don't know how we can help. We don't see what we can offer you. We have never heard of an Ori prior. We surely hope you did not bring the threat to us." Several other children have come forward and are standing next to Lorry looking ath their viewer. It seems most of them are very curious. One of them at the back speaks. "At least we should ask something in return for our help. Maybe one of their ships." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Starbase 369 is completely locked by 192 Borg ships. Between these Borg ships are two Federation ships, USS Thunderbolt, Commodore Guillaume Mechels in command and USS Recon, Commander Carl Summer in command. It is not certain whether the Ori prior Horkan is still on the starbase. Scans are not conclusive. It is also very wtrange that the starbse is completely deserted. after a few minutes the borg discover that the starbase personnel was evacuated due to the threat of the Ori prior. It is even more strange that the starbase was not self destructed... Players: Helena Straetman,Caroline Keuleers,Willem Keuleers, Lieselotte Keuleers, Wouter Keuleers USS Walang Captain hendriks has decided to stay with the Zolo, Kirie and the Trsterts on the home planet of the Zolo where the three species meet again after thousands of years. More kirie have arrived at the Zolo home planet and a few ships from the Trsterts arrive as well. On of the Trsterts is a very old male, Klosdon. He does not know himself how old he is. But his great great grandfather has told him about the Zolo. The stories were told as if klosdon's great great grandfather had actually met a Zolo. But that seems to be impossible... But a Zolo, by the name of Zamn steps out of the crowd and asks the name of Klosdon's great great grandfather. Klosdon has to think about that as he only knew him as Granddad. But after some research in the Trsterts database a name pops up: Harsdon the Explorer. Harsdon was one of the last real explorers of the Trsterts. The Zolo called Zamn who had stepped forward takes a portable device. On the device he shows a three dimensional picture of a Zolo and a Trsterts. The Trsterts of the picture looks identical to Klosdon's great great grandfather Harsdon. the Zolo of the picture looks identical to the Zolo called Zamn. Even the Kirie now do not make a sound... The Zolo called Zamn officially meets the great great grandson of Harsdon the Explorer of the Trsterts... Zamn and Harsdon have met on a planet called Hunanan where the Hunanan live. But it is a very long time ago. Zamn and Harsdon spent over a year together exploring the planet. Then they moved and went to different directions. The Zolo called Zamn invites the Trsterts Klosdon to join him to go to the home planet Hunanan where there must be Hunanan who still remember Harsdon. Zamn is very sure they wuold like to meet Harsdon's great great grandson... And then one of the Kirie rises and calls everyone to join. The Kirie also had a fine relation with the Hunanan. But that was a thousand years ago or so. And now that all these very old species are renewing their bonds, the Kirie want the Hunanan to be part of this.

After a senior staff meeting it is decided that the USS paladin will not travel through the wormhole when it appears again. Some crewmembers volonteer to take a shuttlecraft into the wormhole, but the plan is rejected. But part of the idea is good. An unmanned shuttlecraft is prepared. Once at the other side of the wormhole the shuttlecraft will start sending out messages. Now the only thing they have to wait for is the wormhole itself. The crew of the USS paladin is ready...

He transports to his ship and sets course to Sector 56567 where the 369th fleet is in orbit with the USS iceberg closeby. Observing from a distance Horkan see that apparently on the only planet in Sector 56567 the children are in charge. The children have just launched a rocket into space.

"I have looked into it again. There are indeed already agents of FMAR Draan Marr working on this." "So FMAR Draan Marr knows the President, the Centauri Emperor and some others are under the influence of the Drakh... What are his agents doing?" "Couldn't get to that.

When the device addresses Christine by name there are a lot of questions. "What is your purpose?" asks Christine. Christine knows that there must be a connection between her and the device as the device recognizes her. She will only allow the device to activate itself if it demonstrates that it is not a weapon or dangerous in any other way to Lorem or humans. "I am not a weapon Christine. I knew you would ask me that. I have seen it before." A few Lorem are watching. They do not take any chances and do not address the device directly. Instead they ask christine to do something. "Can you ask this device what that means." Christine asks the Lorem's question. "I know many things. I am programmed to recognize you, Christine, and respond to your questions, among other things." "What other things?" "One of those things is that I have to follow your orders. Shall I take you where I come from?" Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 369 Sector 56567... One planet...

Lorry, the elected spokesman doesn't think he can help Commodore Van Nieuwenhove. The Commodore knows that now is not really a good time to ask Q to help, but if one is really desperate... after all Q has given these coordinates without any explanation. But Q is helpful as ever. In a flash he appears, but he is a child, a mini Q... even his voice is that of a child. "Hello dear sir. Do you want to play. I am very good atr soccer. I can bring an entire team with me. Do you have a team?" The child Q looks at Commodore Van Nieuwenhove. "I guess you do not want to play. Well why did you call me then?" Commodore Van nieuwenhove asks more information. Why has Q send him here? What does he have to do? But as always Q speaks in riddles. "I don't know. I am only a child. I still have a lot to learn. I have nice teachers though." Nobody seems to understand. When the Commodore asks if Q can tell more... "I'll have to ask my dad first, won't I..." And Q vanishes... Again nobody understands, until Captain Sigrid Johansson comes up with an idea. "Maybe that's it. Maybe we just have to ask Lorry's dad or his teacher."

The drone walks straight towards its station but when it arrives, it hesitates, which is extremely unusual for a Borg drone... Drone 566 lifts its head and seems to be looking for something. The hesitation of Engineering Drone 566 is detected by the general grid. The link with drone 566 has been terminated. Two security drones are dispatched. When the security drones arrive at the station of Engineering Drone 566, they adress drone 566 vocally. "Drone 566. You are malfunctioning. Please follow us to maintenance so you can be repaired." But drone 566 doesn't seem to be willing to do that. Drone 566 waves his hand. "You will not take me to maintenance. I do not need repairs." The security drones reply. "We will not take you to maintenance. You do not need repairs." And they leave. At the same instance Master Two addresses Master One. "Master One, we could have a problem..."

Zamn is very sure they would like to meet Harsdon's great great grandson... Captain Hendriks and her crew are still watching and listening to the Zolo, the Kirie and the Trsterts renewing friendships, telling stories about how they evolved... When there is news from the expedition going to the Hunanan home planet, they will all hear about it. It becomes more clear the Zolo, the Kirie, but also the Hunanan are species who have an extreme long life span. The stories they tell are about things that happened thousands of years ago. And when a Kirie starts telling a story a few minutes later one of the Zolo remembers, and fills in the gaps in the story from the Zolo point of view. When the Kirie Lampa starts telling the story about the competion race through six systems, the Zolo Junarok remembers that he was one of the Zolo pilots in that race. it was a few thousands years ago, but he remembers as if it was yesterday. He tells about his very fast ship called the Lightning. But it was not as fast as that one Kirie called Lampa... everyone looks at Lampa. So the zolo Junarok had to do some upgrades during the race to keep up. He was already happy that he could keep the other Kirie in the race behind him. "That I cannot say of my zolo friend Kornarak, who kept behind... everyone else..." The Zolo Kornarak jumps up. "That was not my fault... Oh all right. It was my fault. That stupid capacitor didn't work. And I was so frustrated I hit it so hard that it failed completely." Kornarak laughs and everyone laughs. But Kornanrak continues. "I am sure that if we would do that race again, I would be better prepared." The Kirie Lampa and the Zolo Junarok look at eachother. there is a moment of hesitation. Then the kirie Lampa adresses the Zolo Junarok. "How much time do you need to prepair yourself?" Everyone laughs and the cheering is overwelming. One of the USS Walang officers asks one of the Zolo who won that race where the Zolo Junarok was talking about. "Both Kirie Lampa and the Zolo Junarok ended first. It was a great race with a lot of tension and excitement, especially for the public. That race was one of the last events the Kirie and the Zolo had together. Not long after the zolo had to move. But it seems to me the race is on again..."

It could be one of Qs games. but this receires a lot of explaining from Q. Knowing him there's something else going on. At the same time general Crow sends a team in to investigate undercover see what that gives. But Q is helpful as ever. In a flash he appears, but he is a child, a mini Q... even his voice is that of a child. "Hello dear sir. Do you want to play. I am very good atr soccer. I can bring an entire team with me. Do you have a team?" The child Q looks at General Crow. "I guess you do not want to play. Well why did you call me then?" General Crow asks more information. What is going on here?

Aboard the USS Paladin everything is getting ready to act if needed to launche the shuttlecraft into the wormhole. The shuttlecraft has already been launched and is now at starboard side of the USS Paladin. Aboard are still two engineers, Lieutenant Henry Dosh and Ensign T'Mok who is on his first mission on the USS Paladin. The Vulcan offcier is learning fast and is fascinated by the wormhole. Lieutenant Dosh is proud he can participate in such an important mission. But he is also in favour of a safe mission. The communication channel to the USS Paladin is open at all times. When the wormhole appears there will be little time to transport the two officers of the shuttlecraft back on board the USS Paladin. Hours pass but just when the two officers on the shuttle are ready with the installation of the suplmental sensor array the wormhole appears. Everything has to move fast now. On the bridge of the USS Paladin everyone is focused and ready. There is only one problem. "Captain... The interfernce of the wormhole sir. There is to much interference from the wormhole. We cannot transport Lieutenant Dosh and Ensign T'Mok from the shuttlecraft back to the ship... Sir... The shuttlecraft is drawn into the wormhole... We are at full impulse to maintain our position, but the shuttle's engines are not powerful enough."

Christine watches the device in front of her. It levitates and starts moving upward. "Initializing... Lorem space border... Set time indicator..." For a moment Christine can't see anything. She fells she is grabbed by some kind of force... A moment later she has her vision back. She is in a room without windows. A rather cold wind is blowing in. As she looks around she sees old furtinure. It is clearly Federation design. Someone enters. A female wearing a uniform. Christine does not recognize the uniform, but it is clearly some kind of Starfleet uniform. "Christine Steichen, I am Lieutenant K'Mir. Yes I am Vulcan. You are on a planet called New Earth. Things have changed since you have been away." K'mir does not really sound like a Vulcan. "The Federation as you have known it does not exist anymore. This planet is one of the last which has not been converted. Please follow me." Lieutenant K'Mir waves and steps out of the room. Christine follows her. She steps into the coridor. While Lieutenant K'Mir keeps walking she turns around. "Do you recognise any of this?" But Christine does not. Then she noticed the device that brought her here is hovering right behind her. "You disappeared 94 years ago. You came back every year exactly on the day you vanished for exactly one day. Every year we exchanged information. Do you remember?" But Christine does not. "I see. We were not sure how de device worked. That is the device behind you. During one of your visitis you gave us the blueprints. that was one of your lasts visits. In a 29 days you should appear again. But I am not sure whether you will as you are already here. If you have not been here after your disappearance it is possible you are in the beginning of that chain of events. Although I must say you have not changed in 96 years. We think time has passed for you in a different way than for us. We have to go outside. Please follow me."

After a few minutes of trying, an older humanoid male appears on the main viewer. "Good afternoon. I am Professor Liunor. How can I help you?" Commodore Van Nieuwenhove explains the situation. Professor Liunor nodds. "Hmmm. I see. As I understand it, our children have not damaged any of your property. That is good. You have no complaints, but you seek help with one of your problems, namely some kind of religious preast called an Ori Prior who is trying to convert your people against their will. Hmmm. Now you must understand that teaching children is one of our priorities. We let them develop themselves. Hmmm. So every generation is another evolution. By doing this we learn from our mistakes, get new ideas which benifit our entire species. It is possible one of our earlier generations has already met such an Ori Prior. One moment please." Professor Liunor turns and seems to access a computer. It takes a few minutes. "Hmmm that's interesting. There is a very small article in our Daily Gazette about an ori Prior talking about the way to salvation, the book of Origin, ascension... Hmmm. Interesting... Aha... He wanted to convert our people with force... Hmmm. That is not good. Everyone may follow any religion. That is one of our directives. Hmmm. I see. The ori Prior was put on trial. the judge decided to take away his abilities. And that was the end of it. After that the Ori Prior had a regular live among our people. He passed away at old age. Nothing special. Hmmm. I am afraid that is all I can find." Captain Sigrid Johansson in command of the USS Mexico jumps out of her seat. She seems very curious. "Professor Liunor, would it be possible to teach us how you stopped this Ori Prior? We have no way of doing that. And our federation is in danger..." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Commodore Mechels decides to try to find out where Horkan and Jotarn the Ori Priors are coming from. Assimilation is not possible. That has been tried before without success. So he needs another way... Master One and Master Two hurry to Engineering Drone 566 who has been disconnected from the collective. This should not be a problem, but drone 566 going by the name 5 of 6 seems to use the way of the force. When the two Jedi masters arrive at 5 of 6, he doesn't seem to be surprised. He turns. "Master One, Master Two. I feel a little strange. i have a lot to do, but I cannot remember what it was. I got myself out of the collective, but that doesn't help. What should I do?" Master One thinks for a moment. "5 of 6, Engineering Drone 566 you are.. what I would call become aware. Can you feel the energy flowing through your body? That is called the Force. Can you feel the Force?" "Yes i think I can. And I can use the Force. It is a good thing. But I have much to learn. Can you instruct me? Or am I to old?" Again Master One thinks for a moment. "Yes we can." Master One and Master Two take 5 of 6 to the bridge. Where Commodore Mechels gives his orders. "... anyone who has any detection of one of these Ori Priors report immediately." 5 of 6 reports. "The Ori Prior Jotarn has been active in the Palor System..." Master One is very pleased with his new Padawan. Players: Helena Straetman,Caroline Keuleers,Willem Keuleers, Lieselotte Keuleers, Wouter Keuleers USS Walang Aboard the USS Walang Captain Hendriks gives new orders. "We will join the Zolo, Kirie and the Trsterts on their search for the Hunanan. the more civilizations we got the better." And so it happens. The ancient species of this part of the galaxy many thousands of lightyears away from the United Federation of Planets are on a voyage to the Hunanan. After a few millenia, there could be changed a lot, but the Kirie explain that the Hunanan lived as long as the Kirie themselves. Some of the Kirie have some fun by the fact the Hunanan look totally different. When the Kirie first met the Hunanan, there was also an expedition team from the Zolo. The Hunanan are about 2 meters long and 2 meters wide. They are blue and green depending on whether they are male or female. Despite their form they move really fast and they are therefore excellent hunters. It is likely the large group will find a few Hunanan on a planet called Huna III, a hunting planet of the hunanan. But it is still a week before they get there... During that week more stories are told... Huna III... Finally... "Captain. We detect an expedition camp." The Zolo ambassador aboard the USS Walang recognizes the camp immediately. It is an Hunanan hunting camp. They have found them! But... A Hunanan Hunter seems to be in trouble. Although the hunanan runs at 120 kilomters per hour, the animal runs close behind him and seems to be winning... Some other Hunanan hunters are running behind the animal, but cannot get closer. They fire their weapons but it doesn't seem to help much. It looks like that one hunter is not going to make it... The Kirie called Bretol dives from space down to the planet at incredible speed. Bretol enters the atmosphere and without even heating up he enters the jungle not even a minute later. The hunters in pursuit see the Kirie flying over and start cheering and applauding. Bretol grabs the hunter in trouble just at the moment the huge animal jumps to get his prey. But the animal ends up with his face in the dirt. Bretol lands and puts the hunanan hunter on the ground at the side of his compagnons. The hunter looks at the Kirie clearly amazed. Then he shouts almost singing. "Bretol, Bretol is it really you?" The Kirie called Bretol seems to be less surprised. "Yes Krdo. It is me. It seems I still cannot leave you hunting by yourself... It has been to long my friend. I see your brothers are still putting up with you." It seems the Kirie have a large sense of humor. But so do the Hunanan. Krdo and his Hunanan brothers laugh aloud. Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 213 17.24 The Sjor ships cannot keep up with the USS Vertigo and have disappeared from the sensor grid. Day 218 14.12 The USS vertigo has arrived at the border of Lorianadan space. Three large ships are waiting at the border. It seems the Lorianadan are friends of the Sjor. Commodore Slater decides to take a route around Lorianadan space, but the three Lorianadan ships are soon on an interception course. Day 218 14.39 The USS Vertigo sensors detect six more Lorianadan ships on an intercept course... Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg Sector 56567... One planet... Pre-industrial... Beginning space travel... Apparently the children are ruling on the planet. The children launche a rocket or a missile into space. General Crow lets Major Bell continue the investigation. At the same time The USS Iceberg intercepts communication between the USS Mexico, Commodore Geert Van Nieuwenhove in command and an adult on the planet. "Good afternoon. I am Professor Liunor. How can I help you?" Commodore Van Nieuwenhove explains the situation. Professor Liunor nodds. "Hmmm. I see. As I understand it, our children have not damaged any of your property. That is good. You have no complaints, but you seek help with one of your problems, namely some kind of religious preast called an Ori Prior who is trying to convert your people against their will. Hmmm. Now you must understand that teaching children is one of our priorities. We let them develop themselves. Hmmm. So every generation is another evolution. By doing this we learn from our mistakes, get new ideas which benifit our entire species. It is possible one of our earlier generations has already met such an Ori Prior. One moment please." Professor Liunor turns and seems to access a computer. It takes a few minutes. "Hmmm that's interesting.

"Professor Liunor, would it be possible to teach us how you stopped this Ori Prior? We have no way of doing that. And our federation is in danger..." Then a new report from Major Bell. "General we have found some people here who are very advanced. It seems they live as easy as they can, but their knowledge and technology is much more advanced as we can see. We have received a device which neutralizes the powers of the Ori Prior. We have been instructed how to use the device and we are ready to beam back aboard." Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington are still missing, but the USS Paladin has discovered a unstable wormhole which is most likely the cause of the disappearence of the the Federation ships. The USS Paladin is on a search and rescue mission to find and help the missing ships. But the wormhole produces radiation that interferes with the transporters. The shuttlecraft, ready to enter the wormhole still has two officers aboard. It seems impossible to transport Lieutenant Dosh and Ensign T'Mok from the shuttlecraft back to the ship. "Status on the shuttlecraft?" "The shuttlecraft will enter the wormhole in 9 minutes sir." "Then we have 8 minutes to come up with a plan to get our men on the shuttlecraft back on the ship. I am open to all ideas even if they sound completely ridiculous." In the next few minutes, all kinds of ideas are offered, but none of them can be executed in a few minutes. Then one of the scientists comes up with a plan that seems the one that is going to be the only option. "Lieutenant Dosh. Listen up. There is not much time. You have to sgutdown your shields and engines. In fact, shut down all systems including life support. The shuttlecraft will be a dead object. We are going to try to transport the entire shuttlecraft back onboard." "But sir, then the shuttlecraft will not enter the wormhole." "That is correct Lieutenant. But the life of my officers is more important. We will have to wait for another oportunity. So do it now." All systems on the shuttlecraft are offline. Chief Engineer aboard the USS Paladin has activated the transporters. There is a moment of tension and then Carcobay 3 reports. "We have the shuttle sir. We are opening the door. They are alive and well sir. The transport was completely successful." On the bridge the officers and even the Captain are cheering and applauding. Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier USS Alice Cooper The Kraken are a species of good will and are a technological advanced species. Although they have a completly different way of exploring the universe, they have been doing so for the past 6000 years. After the welcome ceremony at the Federation Council, they are given a seat on the council. In his own strange world Ambassador Jas Stevens still has a conversation with Lieutenant Krolna of the Kraken... Players: Crew of the USS Alice Cooper Ovion (Hirogen/Ori Hunting Vessel) The Ori Prior Horkan is on his way to the next planet to convert, to tell the population about the Book of Origin and the way to salvation. But unknown to Horkan the Federation now has gotten its hands on a device that will take all the power of an Ori Prior away... And the net around him is closing... Players: Thomas van Rhee Earth Alliance Starship (EAS) Terradyne The two men stepped closer to eachother. "Any news yet?" "Yes." "Yes?" "Yes." "Then tell me what it is."

Players: Steve Elliot DS2 RPG General Status Report August 2010 Lorem Christine follows Lieutenant K'Mir outside. They stand outside a large building. It is clearly Federation design, but still different. The street is not crowded, but Christine recognizes Bolians, Vulcans, Humans... Lieutenant K'Mir explains. "This is not our main street. It is much more busy in the rest of the city. Our Commander prefers to live here in the calmer area. You will understand when you meet him." Christine follows Lieutenant K'Mir to a high tower. They enter but are stopped by a security officer. But As soon as he recognizes Lieutenant K'Mir, he also seems to recognise Christine. "Of course. You know the way Lieutenant." The two continue, enter the turbolift to exit a few moments later. they enter a small office, greet a junior officer and step into a bigger office. Behind a large desk a Vulcan officer sits and looks up. Although he looks a little older, Christine recognizes him almost immediately. The man behind the desk is her former First Officer Commander T'Lok... Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 369 Sector 56567... One planet... Commodore Geert Van Nieuwenhove realizes he has to try to convince Professor Liunor to share the technology to stop the ori. But Professor Liunor doesn't have a problem at all to share technology to stop a very dangerous threat. he doesn't even think about protesting. As the data is coming in on the USS Mexico the engineers already are looking at it with eager optimisme. After the datastream as ended, the engineers immediately start building the device as the instructions say. It seems to be very simple, but the engineers also want to know what exactly they are doing. And that takes more time. After almost a full day the device is ready. An engneering team of from the planet below and a group of children arrive to inspect the device. It seems the Starfleet engineers have done a good job. The device is ready to be deployed.... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Drone 5 of 6 seems to be a real talented drone. Trained by Master Three, he progresses very fast. It is as if he has done it all before.

It doesn't take long before the USS Iceberg marine combat engineers have produced their first device... Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis While the USS Paladin is continuing to make plans to contact the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso or the USS Arlington who have traveled through a wormhole, the three missing ships have their own problems.

Walker addresses the Elemental Anakaa. "Anakaa, do you know the route." "Yes captain, but there is a problem. The route will take us into Xcerses space, it is the fastest way to reach the comunication eray." Walker is not pleased to hear that. "Something you forgot to mention Aragorn!" But Aragorn is not easily intimidated. "This will put you to the test, to see how eager you are to gain your goal." "Walker to Atlantis, two to beam up." "Stand by." Minutes later, on the bridge. Sonak reports. "Captain message coming through from Aeigon." "Let's have it." Aragorn seems to be more helpful now. "Captain, my outpost tells me that another ship is searching for you." "Thank you! Cmdr Jones, prepare a com probe." Sonak has a question. "Captain would it not be best, to remain at our present course." But Captain Walker is sure there will be no problems. "They have found us, this far they will find a way to catch up with us!!!" Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier USS Alice Cooper The Kraken are an excellent addition to the federation Council. After their six thousand years of exploration their experience is much more welcome in the Federation than anything ever imagined. Although the situation of Ambassador Jas Stevens is still unclear, the Kraken have promissed to help.

"Oh yes you are. Think about it and report back here tomorrow." The other two man nod and leave. Players: Steve Elliot DS2 RPG General Status Report September 2010 Lorem Followed by the strange device, Christine leaves the office of Commander T'Lok. Christine has decided to stay until the 29 days have passed. If everything goes as it should be Christine should be able to meet herself coming from somewhere unknown. Lieutenant K'Mir sees to it that Christine gets a place to stay. During her stay Christine learns about this last planet is left of what once was the United Federation of Planets. Most planets are either destroyed or their inhabitants have left because of the Ori priors. Apparently the people of the Federation did not want to convert and follow the path to enlightment as written in the Book of Origin. The power of the Ori seemed to be much more advanced than thought. Even the Klingon Empire, Romulan Empire have failed to stop the Ori and their armies. There are rumors that even the Borg have been whiped out. But there is no way to be sure... On the 29th day Christine is woken up by Commander T'Lok himself very early in the morning. He is at her door already. When Christine opens the door She sees the Vulcan and... Christine Steichen, about her age. "Hi Christine. I have expected you. I send you the device to the Lorem. Let me explain in short. There is little time. I have made a deal with the Lorem to be able to come here on regular times, but only for one day. I took this planet because there are 39 hours in one day. I have done this for thousands of times. I am looking for a device that can stop the powers of the Ori priors who have taken over most of our galaxy. We have to chance history as we know it now. This time line has to stop. But I also want to get out of my own time loop. I only have found some fragments of plans so far. I have understood that there is a Borg fleet which has been able to escape from the Ori armies. But I still have not found them. They seem to know how to deal with the Ori. If you go back to your own time and try to find these Borg you will end in the same time loop as I. So that is not really a good plan. But maybe it is the only things that can be done. Doing the loop over and over and gather new and more information. In the end we will get what we need, but is is boring and time consuming. You have to call yourself again and then the loop continues. Here is what I have so far. I will upload it to the time device. The device is programmed to follow you as long as it is needed. If you go back and start the time loop again, you will have a head start. You have to know, I am the third Christine Steichen who does this loop..." Commander T'lok accompanies the two Christines around the city that has been build. T'Lok explains that the first step of the loop is to go back to the USS Earth, explain everything to Commander T'Lok and build this city where Federation refugies can come to. The planet has a dampening field around itr and is almost impossible to be detected. All the plans for the necessary technology have been uploaded to the time device... But Commander T'lok also knows time is passing and there are not yet any signs of those particular borg. Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 369 The 369th fleet has left Sector 56567. The orders given by Commodore Geert Van Nieuwenhove are very clear. "Let the hunt begin. We will search and try to find the Ori Prior. That is not going to be easy." Just when everyone is sugesting plans on how to catch an Ori prior, a disturbing message comes in from Starfleet Command, Admiral Zee. "Geert, I have some bad news. One of our scout ships, the USS Lambada, has detected a large explosion at the location of your Starbase 369 today at 12.35. The USS Lambada has investigated the explosion from a safe distance. There has not been a large investigation and the USS Lambada has proceded on its original course, but after the explosion there was nothing left of Starbase 369. It was completely destroyed. It was a good thing you evacuated your starbase. I cannot imagine how many casualties we would have had if you still would have been there. Although we will never be sure, we think that the Ori prior that threatened Starbase 369 also destroyed the station. I don't know whether you can find anything in the debris, but if you want to investigate further what caused the destruction of Starbase 369, you have my permission to investigate as long as you feel is needed. If you want to pursuit one of these Ori prior, there is some good news. One Ori prior, called Jotarn has been active in the Palor System. If you decide to try to catch thjis Jotarn or any other Ori prior you have permission to use all necessary means to stop them. I am sorry to bring the bad news like this, bu I have confidence in you and your crews of the 369th fleet. If you have anything to report, please do so. If you need any help, just call. Good luck Geert. Admiral Zee out." Before Commodore Geert Van Nieuwenhove can ask or say anything the channel is closed... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt At Starbase 369 which was deserted because of the visit of the Ori prior Horkan Commodore Mechels does not take any chances. An Ori prior cannot be assimilated, and as there is a chance this Horkan is still on Starbase 369. The small Borg fleet opens fire on Commodore Mechels' order. Only a moment later Starbase 369 is completely destroyed. After the destruction of Starbase 369, the advanced Borg sensors do not detect any life forms, but Master One is certain that the Ori prior Horkan has escaped. Sensors pick up a trail from one of the Ori ships. But there are a few problems. A second Ori prior has been active and it is not certain whether there are more Ori priors in the galaxy. Drone 5 of 6 has completed the first phase of his exceptional training. His abilities are much stronger, but he still has to study and learn a lot. When asked what should be done 5 of 6 answers that there is only one way to go... Players: Helena Straetman,Caroline Keuleers,Willem Keuleers, Lieselotte Keuleers, Wouter Keuleers USS Walang Captain Hendriks and her crew join the Zolo, the Kirie, the Trsterts and the Hunanan to the hunanan homeworld. It is the start of again very old stories and renewal of friendship between so different peoples, who thousands of years ago already met, but went seperate ways. Some things have changed, but most has stayed the same and it is as these species have left eachother only yesterday... Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 219 03.08 Lorianadan space... a small Lorianadan fleet is in pursuit of the USS Vertigo. Although these Lorianadan ships are no match for the USS Vertigo, Commodore Slater decides to initiate yellow alert. Day 219 11.03 The fleet of the Sjor has joined the Lorianadan fleet. It is now clear to the crew of the USS Vertigo that they are about to battle. The assembled Sjor and Lorianadan fleet is getting larger, but these ships are still no match for the USS Vertigo. Day 219 21.23 A new Lorianadan fleet is detected coming from the opposite side. Slowly the USS Vertigo is drawn into a net. If it comes to a battle, the Sjor and Lorianadan fleet will be destroyed. Commodore Slater cannot believe, they will be attacked, but he is open for other options than fight. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg The 369th fleet has left Sector 56567. The USS Iceberg has left Sector 56567. The orders given by General Crow are very clear. "Let the hunt begin. We will search and try to find the Ori Prior. That is not going to be easy. Major Bell, you will stay on the planet and investigate whether we can get more advanced technology from these people." When the away team under command of Major Bell has been send to the planet with two runabouts, the USS Iceberg is on its way. Atad has the first report. "A Starfleet scout ship, the USS Lambada, has detected a large explosion at the location of Starbase 369 today at 12.35. Probably the Ori prior Horkan who was there destroyed the starbase, but if we want to be sure, we will have to go there. Maybe we can find a trail and follow it to the Ori prior's location. There is another Ori prior called Jotarn. Jotarn's last location is the Palor System. We could go there and start our hunt from there. There are messages from several Federation Colonies about an Ori prior visiting them, but those are classified as panic reactions. Apparently when a ship enters sensor range of a colony the population thinks an Ori prior will be on their doorstep. Until now not one Federation planet or facility has been visited by an Ori prior except for Starbase 369. And we all know how that ended..." Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis Aboard the USS Paladin some of the engineers have come up with a new plan to try to make contact with the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso or the USS Arlington who have traveled through a wormhole. Unknown to the USS Paladin crew, the USS Arlington already knows the USS Paladin is trying to make contact. But Captain Tom Walker in command of the USS Atlantis has other priorities and the Captain of the USS Paladin is not ready to risk his ship and maybe get lost as well... Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier USS Alice Cooper Far away from any civilization Ambassador Jas Stevens is taken by the Kraken to their home planet. The Kraken live under their planet's surface. Or at least it seems to be... Players: Crew of the USS Alice Cooper Ovion (Hirogen/Ori Hunting Vessel) The Ori priors Jotarn and Horkan have their first conversation in some time. But there is nothing new. They have had more and more success to convert entire populations, especially because these populations are less advanced that they are. Jotarn and Horkan have decided to stay way from eachother as far as possible. Only known to Jotarn and Horkan there are two more Ori priors who have entered this galaxy. And those two have already started to teach of the Book of Origin and the Path to Salvation with success... Unknown to the Ori priors, Starfleet officers have gotten their hands on technology that will shut down the powers of the Ori priors... Players: Thomas van Rhee Earth Alliance Starship (EAS) Terradyne The three men stepped closer to eachother. "So have you found that Shadow in Narn territory?" "Well, I have to..." "Did you or did you not?" "I have found three..." "What? Is that a joke?" "No. It is not a joke." "We need more men. Tomorrow we will be on the hunt..." The other two man nod and leave. Players: Steve Elliot DS2 RPG General Status Report October 2010 Lorem Christine Steichen decides to stay with Commander T'Lok in his hidden city and help to complete the anti-Ori device. The next day for one Christine Steichen te time loop restarts and she will return after 29 days... Commander T'Lok assigns several of his officers to help Christine. A few of them search the Federation database to find out how this all started. At first there was one Ori prior called Horkan. He converted more than a few planets, but also destroyed a lot of planets. Apparently he was very powerful as he also destroyed some Borg planets. Shortly after Horkan's arrival in this gallaxy, a second Ori prior called Jotarn showed himself by doing the same as Horkan. People who would not convert to the way of the Book of origin and follow the path of enlightment were simply destroyed. Not that much later more Ori priors appeared at different locations. the number of Ori priors increased, not fast but rather slowly. There was a rogue borg fleet which was able to resist the Ori priors. But they became isolated... "Can you go back a little Lieutenant? It seemed a few Federation ships had joined that rogue borg fleet." "The USS Thunderbolt and USS Recon sir. My guess is that they made a deal of some kind with those Borg to save themselves. But that is speculation. But wait... I have found another Starfleet vessel which was succesful in fighting the Ori. It is the USS Iceberg sir, General Crow in command. Starfleet marines sir." "Did they have a device to stop the Ori Lieutenant?" "I am still looking sir. They must have had something, otherwise they couldn't have survived that long. The personal logs of the crew of the USS Iceberg is... Access denied sir... These Starfleet marines were probably special ops or something. Wait... The USS Iceberg was destroyed around 17 years ago. Wow... the Ori needed 14 ships to do that... Wait... there is a survivor of that battle. He was able to escape in a shuttlecraft before the battle began... His name is Atad sir... He is here sir. He is in our city. He joined us whith the other fugitives when we moved..." At that exact moment the door opens. There is a man standing there waiting to be addressed. the lieutenant looks at the door. "Can I help you?" But the man does not show any emotion. "The question is can I help you. My name is Atad. I think it is time." Commander T'lok and Christine are called and they hear Atad explain. "All time lines come together at this point. My calculations were correct. We were to late to do anything against the invasion of the Ori. there were only two devices to stop the Ori priors at the time. But after a year the Ori priors and there fleets were to much for the entire galaxy. But if we could get back in time and deliver the plans of this device to all species in the galaxy, we could stop the Ori... I had to wait until someone could go back." Atad sits down at a console and starts reproducing the plans of the device. Commander T'Lok is fascinated... "You seem to have some fascinating skills mister Atad." "That is how I was created. I am an android Commander. There, it is done. The plans are in the main computer. The only thing you have to do is build them, send them back in time and we should all be fine. Of course you should test them first." Players: Christine Steichen 369th Fleet Starbase 369 was destroyed. Of course Commodore Van Nieuwenhove wants to know what happens to his starbase, but it is likely the Ori prior horkan has something to do with it. The Commodore knows what to do. "There could be clues or trails of who did it and where they went." After a journey back to the remains of Starbase 369 most of the crew are getting emotional. Some have spent most of their lives on the Starbase, and now it is gone... But the engineers of the 369th fleet combine their efforts and after only three hours they are able to report they found a trail of unknown origin. 369th fleet Chief of Engineering Commander George Senden reports a trail has been found. it is weak, but it is easy to follow... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Aboard the USS Thunderbolt Drone 5 of 6 has completed his second phase of his training. Commodore Mechels has other things on his mind. "We will try to find where these Ori priors come from and stop them there. This is not going to be easy. Maybe we can have a Borg colony send out a signal to the Ori that they want to convert and live according the Ori Book of Origin. This way the Borg can infiltrate under cover into the Ori society. It is not certain this will work." It seems like a good plan. And so it is executed. A Borg planet is selected. The drones have been informed and reprogrammed. Everything is ready when the Ori Prior comes. And he does come. He presents himself as prior Dunee. the Borg drones are very helpful and convert easily. Three of the drones will accompany the Ori prior Dunee to become Ori priors themselves. They are transported to an Ori ship... Players: Helena Straetman,Caroline Keuleers,Willem Keuleers, Lieselotte Keuleers, Wouter Keuleers USS Walang Captain Hendriks and her crew have gathered with the Zolo, the Kirie, the Trsterts and the Hunanan to the hunanan homeworld. Of course the USS Walang crew is amazed and curious of how these species have lived for so long. But apparently it is a gift from nature. Especially the Kirie are extremely happy to find the other species again. The Kirie have lived in isolation for a very long time... Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 219 22.06 The Sjor and Lorianadan fleet are closing in on the USS Vertigo, which is very much superior. Commodore Slater is looking for options as he doesn't want to be labeled as the one who destroyed a huge fleet even if he was defending his ship and crew. Day 219 23.52 Just before midnight Chief Engineer Commander Tony Camero has boosted upi the warp engines which will give the USS Vertigo a short burst, giving it the speed of warp 9.999 for nine seconds. That should give the USS Vertigo enough speed to escape and leave all Sjor and Lorianadan ships far behind. Day 220 00.19 Commodore Slater has tried to contact the Sjor and Lorianadan fleet, but without answer. He orders to execute the plan to escape at high warp. The USS Vertigo jumps to warp. Speed increases rapidly. The ship moves through the Sjor line of defense and escapes. The the Sjor and Lorianadan fleet are not able to follow. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg General Crow has new orders. "We will go to the location of Starbase 369 and try to find who destropyed the starbase andwhere they went. One Prior at a time we will investegate and see were it leads us." The USS Iceberg is the first ship to investigate the debris of Starbase 369, but Atad has a report within 10 minutes. A trail of an unknown ship has been found, but there is something else... "Sir, we also have some Borg residues. There are small but they are there. It could be a left over from the Ori who had contact with the Borg. We know the Ori priors have had contact with the Borg so that could be the reason. It is not likely the Borg have been here. But I have not enough information. It is possible." Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis Aboard the USS Paladin the crew is waiting for the first results. But because Captain Tom Walker in command of the USS Atlantis has other priorities the communication of the USS Paladin is unanswered. Still the Captain of the USS Paladin is not yet ready to give up. A new plan is ready. Buoys are attached together with a cable. The chain of buoys will be dropped into the wormhole until the chain reaches the other side. If the chain will hold a permanent communication with the other side of the wormhole should be able to be established. Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier USS Alice Cooper Ambassador Jas Stevens has been taken by the Kraken to their home planet. The kraken live under the surface of the planet. When there is nothing heard about the condition of Ambassador Stevens in almost a month some Federation Council members start asking questions... Players: Crew of the USS Alice Cooper Ovion (Hirogen/Ori Hunting Vessel) There are now four known Ori priors in the galaxy teaching the Book of Origin and the Path to Salvation. Many more primitive worlds hvae been converted and their populations now worship the Ori. As the prime directive prevents the federation to intervene on those planets, the people on those planets are doomed to be the slaves of the Ori. Then two more Ori priors are recruited from the followers. And then there were six... Players: Thomas van Rhee Earth Alliance Starship (EAS) Terradyne The six men stepped closer to eachother. "How many Shadows did you kill?" "I got four." "Me... four as well." "I got three." "I got four. I tried to catch one alive, but my plan didn't work." "Maybe we should plan together. I got four. I am sure we need more men. the hadows are spreading." "Indeed. We should split up." All agreed and left. Players: Steve Elliot DS2 RPG General Status Report November 2010 Lorem With the help of Atad the anti-Ori device is ready and someone needs to test it. Christine lets Commander T'Lok and a team come out of hiding and test it on one of the Ori priors. There are a lot of them to choose from. Christine will not intervene with the testing whatever happens. After a few days of training, a small team of Starfleet officers materializes on Hurodian II Where within 20 minutes they are confronted with the local Ori prior. But the trap has closed. So when the Ori prior starts talking about the way to salvation and the Book of origin, the Starfleet team does not agree. When the Ori prior wants to use his advanced technology to destroy the non-believers, nothing happens. His technology does no longer work. Atad's device works. When it is discovered that the Ori prior was once just a human, a medical team is beamed down to examine the prior. Apparently his DNA was rewritten. But the Starfleet doctors have no problem to correct the medical condition of the prior. after a few minutes the prior returns to a normal human... The test was successful. Players: Christine Steichen 369th Fleet The 369th fleet is on its way to capture an Ori prior. Unknown to Commodore Geert Van Nieuwenhove there are already six Ori priors in the galaxy, and they have very powerful ships. Commodore Van Nieuwenhove now has the technology to neutralise an Ori prior. He decides to devide his fleet in two. One part follows the unknown hunt trail, the other goes to Palor system, the last position of an Ori prior. After about a week team one of the 369th fleet has arrived at the Palor system, but the Ori prior has already left. So the hunt continues. Around the same time team two of the 369th fleet has caught up with the ships of the unknown trail, but they are in for a huge surprise As Lieutenant Guy Sonders aboard the USS Mexico reports. "Commodore Van Nieuwenhove sir. You are not going to believe this, but sensors have picked up the ships which made that trail sir. We have detected at least four Borg cubes sir. There are probably more, but they must be out of our sensor range. Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Aboard the USS Thunderbolt Drone 5 of 6 has completed his third phase of his training. Several Borg drones have infiltrated the forces of the Ori prior known as Dunee. Dunee takes them aboard his ship which sets of at high warp. But like some very smart Federation crews, the Borg also have developed technology to stop an Ori prior. The blueprints of the technology is shared with the infiltrated drones abaord prior Dunee's ship. Within a few hours the three drones have their device completed and are ready to use it. The only thing now is to stand by for the next order. Players: Helena Straetman,Caroline Keuleers,Willem Keuleers, Lieselotte Keuleers, Wouter Keuleers USS Walang At Starfleet Command the reports of the USS Walang are read with much interest. especially the parts in which Captain Hendriks describes the Zolo, the Kirie, the Trsterts and the Hunanan as extremely old and extremely advanced. But unknown to Captain hendriks and her crew some people in the Federation are not as trustworthy... they are making plans to try to convince these advanced species to help them to dominate the Alpha Quadrant and maybe the entire galaxy... There is only one problem for those who are making these secret plans. A starship will have to travel 15 years to get to the position of the USS Walang... Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 221 9.00 Senior staff meeting. The USS vertigo has escaped from the Sjor and Lorianadan fleets, but Commodore Slater realises that the USS vertigo probably will encounter more friends of the Sjor and Lorianadan. Day 225 17.31 The USS vertigo is contacted by a small ship called the Henna, under command of captain Kliep of a species called the Xonr. Apparently the reputation of the USS vertigo proceeds itself. The Xonr ask help to get the Sjor out of their system. Apparently the Sjor are trying to dominate the Xonr for decades, but the Xonr are losing the war. Day 225 17.38 USS vertigo Chief of Security Lieutenant Commander Matz suggests to learn the Sjor a lesson they wil not forget, so this will end once and for all. this might not be the federation way, but if someone doesn't do something, this will never end. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg After the investigation of the destruction of Starbase 369, General Crow gives new orders. "Follow the trail of the unknown ship. Maybe we've found someone who has the same problems as we do with the Ori. Who knows but it is worth investegating two or always better than one." Unknown to General crow and his crew there are already six Ori priors in the galaxy, and they have very powerful ships. General Crow now has the technology to neutralise an Ori prior. It can only be an advantage. While the USS Iceberg is following the trail, Atad is working on building more of these devices. Sometimes he even seems to disappear. After six days Major Bell calls the general to the bridge. "General sir. We have found the ships sir, but you are not going to like it. I will put it on the main viewer." On the main viewer three Borg cubes appear. Apparently they have no interest in the USS Iceberg. "There could be more Borg ships sir, out of our sensor range..." Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis To find the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington, which entered a wormhole apparently without means to get back, the USS Paladin cre has a new plan, hoping to be able to communicate with the three missing ships. The chain of buoys will be dropped into the wormhole until the chain reaches the other side. 612 buoys are needed to reach the other side. As long as the wormhole is open the buoys will be damaged. Slowly the long chain is dropped into the wormhole until the chief engineer reports. "Captain. We have reached the other side sir. All systems of all 612 buoys are operational." "Excellent. Open a channel Lieutenant. let's send a message." "Channel open sir." "This is Captain Deto of the Federation starship USS Paladin. This is a call for the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso or USS Arlington. If you receive this message, please repond." The channel is closed. "OK Lieutenant, keep sending the message until there is an answer." "Aye sir." Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier USS Alice Cooper For Ambassador Jas Stevens the universe looks entirely different. First he was taken care of in some kind of hospital, but now he is in a forest, walking towards a small cabine. Although he has never been here before, the cabin seems familiar. When he opens the door he looks inside first. But it is dark in the cabin. he has no choice but to go in. He enters. As soon as he is in the cabin, the door closes and the lights are on. The interior of the cabin looks fifty times larger than the outside... Players: Crew of the USS Alice Cooper Ovion (Hirogen/Ori Hunting Vessel) There are now six Ori priors in the galaxy teaching the Book of Origin and the Path to Salvation. the situation gets worse. Horkan is on his way to the next planet when he gets a message from Jotarn, saying that the latest missions were a success. More and more populations are converted. Horkan's next planet is a Federation colony... Players: Thomas van Rhee Earth Alliance Starship (EAS) Terradyne The twelve men stepped closer to eachother. "Hello all. For the newcomers... Welcome. I have read all your reports. It seems this is more than a Shadow scouting mission." "Sir, is there any news on the plans of the others?" "Some of them are conducting secret missions. For the moment we are on our own." "Sir we killed many Shadows, but I have the feeling there are many more of who we have no knowledge. We need more soldiers and hunters." "I agree. We need to split up and gather more help. We will meet again after the next missions." All agreed and left. Players: Steve Elliot DS2 RPG General Status Report December 2010 Lorem Time is not an issue for Christine Steichen. With the help of Commander T'lok and his officers she finds out that at the time Atad aboard the USS Iceberg had produced his first devices to neutrilize the Ori priors, there were 7 Ori priors. Looking back to the past through the files, Christine knows now exactly the time and dates where these Ori priors will appear. So she makes a decision. "I will try to find Atad in the past aboard the USS Iceberg. Apparently Atad has knowledge to build these devices to stop those Ori priors. In that time period there are only a few Ori priors. It should be easy to neutralize them." Christine can convince the Lorem to help her find Atad. To visit Atad should be done carefully. Christine cannot just drop in and appear right in front of him. So she takes an old Klingon Bird-of-Prey which she drops out of warp just outside the USS Iceberg sensor range. While under cloak, it only takes a minute to speed up. She contacts Atad personally on a secured channel and sends him the data he is looking for. Atad is fascinated how time travel can change the entire history of a species or even the entire universe. He can only thank Christine Steichen for her help. The research on time travel has to wait. there are more important issues at hand like the search and neutralizing the Ori priors. Atad already has 6 devices ready. Players: Christine Steichen 369th Fleet The 369th fleet is split in two. Commodore Geert Van Nieuwenhove now has two targets to worry about. "Let team one continue the hunt. Let team two follow the Borg." The hunt for the Ori continues with the USS Napoli, the USS Enchant, the USS Sunrise. Commodore Van Nieuwenhove aboard the USS Mexico follows the Borg, together with the USS Harbour, USS Energy and the freighter USS Carry. The Starfleet Marine battleship USS Iceberg, General Crow in command, is also following the Borg. But it seems General Crow, a seasoned Starfleet Marine, will not take orders from Commodore Van Nieuwenhove. Following the Borg seems to be a bit boring. Nothing really happens. Searching for the Ori on the contrary is fighting for your life... Aboard the USS Mexico a report comes in from the USS Sunrise. It is not a clear communication. "Commodore, we are under attack ... came out of nowhere ... 2 ships for ... destroyed almost immediately ... USS Enchant gone too ... could barely escape ... warp ... Get me a clear transmission Lieutenant ... That is better. We are the only survivors Commodore." Captain Sigrid Johansson aboard the USS Mexico gets worried. Captain Helmut Ganger in command of the USS Sunrise is a personal friend. "What is your status Captain Ganger? What is the condition of the USS Sunrise? Talk to me Helmut." "Sigrid, we have a warp core breach in 4 minutes. There is nothing we can do about it. I am evacuating the crew. There is no hope for this ship. We are lucky to be alive. The others are gone ... gone ... We didn't even scratch their hulls. They are to powerful. There was nothing we could do. They left us here totally crippled. I don't know why they left us alive. They left in a hurry through some kind of rift in space... We have found a nearby M-class planet without population. We will take our refuge there. Until Starfleet can pick us up ... Warning! Warp core breach in 3 minutes! ... I think we need at least 50 ships to destroy one of theirs. I cannot give you more information than what I have told you. I will send you the sensor logs of the battle. If you want to know anything else please ask now." "Nothing else Helmut. Get of the ship. Get to a safe distance. Good luck." "Consider it done. Don't worry about us. We'll be fine. OK Lieutenant. It is time to leave." Captain Helmut Ganger does not take the time to close the channel. On the bridge of the USS Mexico the officers can follow the last moments of the USS Sunrise. They hear the voice of Captain Ganger and his Lieutenant while they are leaving the bridge. "Everyone is off the ship and safe sir. Al three shuttles have been launched. They are not damaged at all sir. They will use their tractor beams to gather the escape podds. It will speed us up." "Excellent Lieutenant. Now let's get off ourselves." Then there is a warning. "Warning! Warp core breach in 2 minutes!" The following minutes the tactical officers aboard the USS Mexico analyse the sensor logs of the USS Sunrise. Two minutes later communications with the USS Sunrise are interupted... The tactical officers aboard the USS Mexico only needed those two minutes to analyse the data. That was exactly the time of how long the Ori ships needed to elimintae the three Federation starships. Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Several Borg drones have infiltrated the forces of the Ori prior known as Dunee. Dunee takes them aboard his ship which sets of at high warp. Commodore Mechels has only one order. "Follow the Ori ship of Ori prior Dunee undetected." The infiltrated drones can neutralize the Ori prior Dunee at any moment with the device, but maybe it is indeed wise to follow the Ori to see what they are planning. From the Drones the collective gets the information of the next destination of the Ori prior Dunee. Hztreoa III. A small population which has been neglected by the Borg because it was insignificant and not worth the trouble of assimilating. Apparently the Ori think differently. Every man, woman and child counts. Upon arrival the Ori prior Dunee transports to the planet. Master One has an idea. "Without the Ori prior abaord the Ori ship of Ori prior Dunee is vulnurable. The ship itself cannot be assimilated. The Ori prior can only be assimilated if he is neutralized with the device. But the crew and soldiers aboard are just humanoids. They can easily be assimilated. By assimilating them into the collective we will share their thoughts and know everything they know, maybe even the central base of the Ori priors if there is such a base." Players: Helena Straetman,Caroline Keuleers,Willem Keuleers, Lieselotte Keuleers, Wouter Keuleers USS Walang While Captain Hendriks and her crew are listening to the fascinating stories of the ancient species Kirie, Trsterts, Zolo and Hunanan, there are some people in the federation who want to get their hands on the technology of these exteremely advanced species. Especially their immortality is said to be of interest of those who are more greedy and want that for themselves. As those people have understood they have to combine their efforts, they come together in a group. Thousands of lightyears away from the USS Walang plans are made to get advanced technology back home. But in this group greed is already playing a major role and some of the group members disappear suddenly without leaving a trace. After a short while, the group has fallen apart... They didn't trust one another anymore... Apparently Starfleet Command is aware of the situation, but doesn't do anything. Starfleet Command thinks that only a few people want to use the technology of the Kirie, Trsterts, Zolo and Hunanan. There is no way for these greedy people to get to the region of space where the USS Walang is located. And then there is the day that Captain Hendriks receives a message from Starfleet Command Security which warns her for people who have bad intensions and do whatever it takes to get their hands on the advanced technology of the Zolo, the Kirie, the Trsterts and the Hunanan. It is Admiral Danny Benturia of Starfleet Security who is getting very angry with the situation back on earth. But he can only warn Captain Hendriks. "Those people will try to lure you into something or tell you the technology is needed for medical purpose only. They will try to bribe you, or do anything else to please you to give some of that technology to them. Captain hendriks, your orders are clear. You will not share any technology of the species you meet or have met with anyone who wants to use it for his own benefits. As soon as you are contacted by some suspicious group or person, you will report to me directly and I will deal with it here. Besides I think the Zolo, the Kirie, the Trsterts and the Hunanan are wise enough not to share to much technology anyway. Good luck Captain. We will speak to eachother again. Admiral Benturia out." Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 225 18.05 Commodore Slater has a dilemma. The Xonr ask help to get the Sjor out of their system. The Sjor and their friends already have threatened the USS Vertigo as well. Genocide is not an option either. Talking with the Sjor has no positive result. That has been tried before... Day 225 18.07 While Commodore Slater is still thinking what to do as the red alert is initiated. Apparently three Sjor ships have followed the Henna, the ship of Captain Kliep of the Xonr. Commodore Slater orders to extend shields around the Henna. The weapons of the Sjor will not be able to penetrate the USS Vertigo shields. Commodore Slater warns the Sjor not to attack as this will be considered an act of war. Day 225 18.13 The Sjor open fire on the Henna, but the Henna is unharmed, protected by the extended shields of the USS vertigo. Lieutenant Commander Matz fires a few very low powered laserbeams. The three Sjor ships are seriously damaged, are at drift but the crews will survive. Commodore Slater warns the Sjor again, that next time he will have no mercy. The Henna of the Xnor is escorted to the Xnor home planet. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg After the destruction of Starbase 369, the USS Iceberg is following a Borg fleet. "Follow the Borg. Lets see if the Borg can assimilate the Ori." But the Borg do not seem to be looking for the Ori... Unknown to the USS Iceberg crew there is an old Klingon Bird-of-Prey cloaked and close to their ship. Aboard that Klingon ship is Commodore Christine Steichen. Christine is a Lorem and has traveled to the future to gain more information about how to defeat the Ori. A key player in all of this seems to be Atad. Christine has met Atad in the future. In the future Atad is the only survivor of the USS Iceberg after a battle with a fleet of Ori ships. But all of that has not happened yet. And the future can be changed. Atad realizes if he doesn't do anything the USS Iceberg will be destroyed and his fellow officers will be killed. That catastrophic battle will take place a few years from now... At that time the Ori have conquered almost the entire galaxy and the USS Iceberg will be the last remaining Federation starship... But the future is about to change... Christine Steichen can convince the Lorem to help her find Atad. To visit Atad should be done carefully. Christine cannot just drop in and appear right in front of him. So she takes an old Klingon Bird-of-Prey which she drops out of warp just outside the USS Iceberg sensor range. While under cloak, it only takes a minute to speed up. She contacts Atad personally on a secured channel and sends him the data he is looking for. Atad is fascinated how time travel can change the entire history of a species or even the entire universe. He can only thank Christine Steichen for her help. The research on time travel has to wait. There are more important issues at hand like the search for and neutralizing of the Ori priors. Atad already has 6 devices ready. And now he has all the locations of the 7 Ori priors and the exact time they will be present there. This should not be to hard. The only thing is that these Ori priors are not closeby. Timing becomes very important. Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis To find the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington, which entered a wormhole apparently without means to get back, the USS Paladin crew has opened a communication channel with a chain of buoys which has been dropped into the wormhole until the chain reached the other side. But there is no answer yet from the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso or USS Arlington. More and more messages are coming in from Starfleet Command about the threat of the Ori priors, teaching about the Book of Origin and the way to salvation. Who does not want to be converted will be destroyed. These Ori priors already have destroyed several planets. Nobody seems to know where these Ori priors came from. The Captain of the USS Paladin wonders whether the Ori threat could have something to do with this wormhole... Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier USS Alice Cooper Ambassador Jas Stevens has entered a small cabin of which the inside is as large as a football field. All kinds of strange things are happening to him. It is not certain whether this a diliberate, just coincidence or something that happens only in his mind. There are no answers... Players: Crew of the USS Alice Cooper Ovion (Hirogen/Ori Hunting Vessel) There are now seven Ori priors in the galaxy teaching the Book of Origin and the Path to Salvation. The situation seems to get worse. The Ori prior Horkan is contacted by the Ori directly. Apparently more and more species have technology to stop the Ori priors and take their powers away. Therefore Horkan gets a new assignment. He will travel to the past, about 300 years, go to Earth and stop the evolution of human kind by converting them into the way of the Ori. The Ori order is very clear and specific. Go back in time and convert whoever is living on Earth or destroy them if they do not want to be converted. Horkan uses the super stargate to calculate for a solar flare. This will able him to travel to the past. Just at the right moment Horkan's ship enters the super stargate and arrives close to Earth in the past. Unknown to Horkan something went wrong... he ends up far more in the past of the planet Earth than intended... a few million years... Arriving at Earth it is clear there is no space travel yet. Horkan transports to the planet. The planet looks like a place where nature is still doing her thing. In an open field there is a group of huge reptiles eating plants and making soft noises. Horkan checks his database and knows this species is common all over the planet. These creatures are the dominant species of the planet earth. Perhaps they are the ancestors of the humans. Following his orders he adresses the reptiles and speaks about the Book of Origin and the way to salvation, but the reptiles do not respond. They don't even look up. Horkan transports back to his ship. There is no stargate on earth in this time period, So Horkan cannot destroy the planet. But with his technology he changes the axis of the planet Earth, putting all those reptiles in extreme cold ice age weather zones and with that terminating them all in a matter of hours... Players: Thomas van Rhee Earth Alliance Starship (EAS) Terradyne The twenty-nine men stepped closer to eachother. "Hello all. Wait a minute... there should be thirty-two of you. What happened?" "We lost team three sir. They didn't make it. This threat is becoming a serious problem sir." "I fully agree. These Shadows have to be eliminated once and for all." "Indeed. Recruit more people. Expand the teams. We are at war. Move it people." All agreed and left. Players: Steve Elliot
