DS2 RPG General Status Report January 2014 USS Earth/Starbase 44 Aboard the SS Trader a man is found The rest of the crew seems to be vanished. The John Doe has lost his memory. But John Doe is not human like he appears to be. He is violent as well. He attacks one of his doctors and flees through a massive wall when a security officer fires at him. Admiral Steichen doesn't take any chances. "Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo you will handle John Doe... If you can..." Of course Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo like the challenge. As soon as they left the Admiral's office they start looking for John Doe. The medical staff has some new and useful information. "Captain Wainis, this is Doctor P'Dem. We have completed our analysis of John Doe. It is not human. In fact it is a collection of artificial building blocks. These blocks are linked to eachother like our biological cells. It doesn't take long for Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo to find a way to seperate those building blocks. Armed with their new weapons the two have started the hunt for John Doe. How they did it, nobody knows, but after exactly ten minutes the two have located John Doe, driven the machine into a corner protected by force fields, and contacted Admiral Steichen for orders. "Admiral, Winis here. We have it. It doesn't go anywhere. We can destroy it or take to a holding cell. We could connect it to one of our stand alone computers to get information. What shall we do?" In the background Admiral Steichen hears the voice of the John Doe machine. "You will not get information out of me..." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 The USS Latent has picked up a survivor on a ship at drift. This John Doe does not remember anything. There is no trace of the rest of the crew. John Doe is examined aboard Starbase 88 but aside of his amnesia there is nothing wrong with him. Later when John Doe is identified as Lieutenant Guy Goma it is also discovered Guy Goma has a sister. Admiral Van Nieuwenhove does not hesitate. "Let the sister of Lieutenant Guy Goma come to Starbase 88. She could help with getting his memory back." But that is not the only concern of the Admiral. there is a thief abaord starbase 88 who is stealing equipment. Security has no clue what is going on. The new arrived traders are inocent. Chief of Security Commander Carlo Demaggio has a report, but it is very short. "Admiral, I hate to say it, but we do not have a trace to who did this. There is so much equipment stolen you can fill a shuttlecraft with it. We did not find any DNA. Internal sensor logs do not reveal anything. It is as if the equipment is transported or just vanished. A transporter beam would have been detected. We have started to put trackers on the most important equipment and everything else will follow, but it will take several weeks before we have this done." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Master One and Master Two decide to send Master Three to look for a possible threat of the Sith. If the Sith have indeed returned they could destroy the entire galaxy just by manipulating others. "The Sith can hide very well. We must be on our guard. we can use the Borg collective to help with the search as well. The collective cannot be manipulated by the sith without us knowing about it." "Yes Master One. Troubled times are to be expected..." Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang Captain Hendriks has been able to locate some Replicators with the help of the Trsterts and the Kirie. The Trsterts ambassador aboard the ship has some concerns. "Captain Hendriks. We can handle a few Replicators, even the complex ones, but if there is a community of Replicators living out there, we cannot control them with one ship and one crew. Then we need help." Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 354 06.53 A fleet of 16 ships is on its way to the planet Trium to evacuate the last of the population.

May I present Commander Lexor, in command of the warbird Linamis. He is a supporter of our case. Commander please sit with us." The Commander sits down. He looks around. When he is given the word, he confirms his position. "I am commander Lexor. My crew and I are tired of being suspiciouos, tired of being hunted and hunting. If the Romulan Star Empire wants to survive, we have to stop treating everyone else as enemies. We have to build. So our people can once again live in confort. We have to make peace..." General Crow is on Romulus when this all happens. Unknown to him is that there is a lot of treachery on Romulus. Not everyone is who he says he is... Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis After months of being trapped at the other side of a wormhole the The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso, USS Arlington and USS Paladin are ready to return home. But will their home be the same as when they left? Will the three sience ships at the other end of the wormhole still be waiting? One of the science ships has already left. Now that there is no real threat to the Federation anymore, Starfleet Command has sent the ship to the Beta Quadrant to analyse some anomalies... Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) The replicator Besje is producing Replicators in human form now. Some of those Replicators have already infiltrated in the Federation and even in Starfleet. But it seems that also the Romulan Star Empire is a victim of Horkan's Replicators.

Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report February 2014 USS Earth/Starbase 44 John Doe, who has been taken aboard Starbase 44 is not human like he appears to be. When his cover is discovered, he flees, but is caught by Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo. Admiral Steichen has several orders. "John doe is to dangerous. He is probably responsible for the disappearance of the crew of the SS Trader. Bring John Doe to a holding cell, connect John Doe to the stand alone computer and get all the data you need out of him." "Acknowledged Admiral. We will keep you posted. Wainis out." Admiral Steichen turns to Commander Nostaret. "Ask other starbase commanders if they had such a John Doe in their region and warn them about a possible threat." "Aye Admiral." Ten minutes later there is a new report from Captain John Wainis. "Admiral, you better come to the brig. You may want to see this for yourself." When Admiral Steichen enters the brig she sees a pile of very small blocks on the floor in the holding cell. Captain John Wainis shakes his head. "There was nothing we could do to prevent this. To be clear, we didn't fire our weapons on him. Apparently this machine is built from building blocks which can be deactivated on command. We did not detect any subspace signals or any other communication. Apparently this machine decided on his own to deactivate itself. The question remains, what shall we do with these little building blocks?" Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 The John Doe on Starbase 88 is identified as Lieutenant Guy Goma. But the Lieutenant does not remember anything. To find out what happened to the crew of the USS Latent where Lieutenant Guy Goma was found totally alone, Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove has the sister of Lieutenant Guy Goma, Lara Goma, brought to Starbase 88. "Let Lara Goma, the sister of Lieutenant Guy Goma alone with Guy Goma and let her use the holodeck to reproduce their childhood. If Guy Goma has back his memory maybe we can find out what happened to his ship the USS Latent. An entire crew has disappeared..." While brother and sister Goma are on the holodeck, the Admiral is informed that there has been no trace of the thiefs who are still stealing equipment. "Admiral. It is like they just walked through solid walls and disabled the internal sensors only on that location. We have no explanation. I am sorry sir. We will keep working on it." During evening dinner the Admiral reads an interesting message from Admiral Christine Steichen in command of Starbase 44. Message begins We have encountered a totally deserted ship with only one person aboard. He has lost his memory. During a medical investigation this John Doe was identified as a very complex machine. This machine looks like a human, most medical instrumens determine it as a real human, but it is a machine built out of small building blocks. This machine is considered dangerous. It can walk through solid walls and can only be successfully deactivated in the original building blocks by a specific weapon, producing a specific wave. Included in this message are the specifics of this weapon. This weapon will not hurt biological life forms. Message ends Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt The Borg Jedi Masters are looking for any Sith activity. They can use the entire Borg Collective to help them.

"Keep the Replicators, Human-like and other locked up and continue on route back to Kirie, Musks and Yu teritory. We have to investigate what exactly they are and what their purpose is." So during the journey back to Yu teritory, the Replicators are studied. By the time the ship arrives in Yu territory, the Trsterts have been able to convince the Replicator Loenas Mel to have a meeting with the other species assembled on the Yu home planet. So the Replicator Loenas Mel is brought to an assembly of older Kirie, Trsterts, Zolo, Hunanan, Musks and Yu to present himself. "I am Loenas Mel. Yes, I am a Replicator. I would like to learn more. That is my objective. I would like to discuss cultural, philosophical and scientific issues..." Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 354 16.01 The Trium star explodes.

Day 354 17.23 The people of the planet Trium are all safe. A relocation was necessary and the people of Trium have to rebuild almost everything they had. But they are determined to do so. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg On Romulus General Crow is going to visit the Romulan Senate on a diplomatic mission. Unknown to the general there is a group of Romulans who want to join the Federation. They want possible hostilities stopped. During a meeting of the unification group on Romulus, the group is visited by Commander Lexor, in command of the warbird Linamis, who says he wants to join up and help. While the group is discussing the situation, it is becoming clear that most of them do not want Romulan Commanders to join the group. Just as the voting begins, Commander Lexor takes a hidden weapon and starts shooting the Romulans in front of him. The Romulans who return firs, are left in amazement. Their weapons apparently have no effect on Commander Lexor who continues firing without blinking his eyes. Just a minute later it is all over... Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis After months of being trapped at the other side of a wormhole the The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso, USS Arlington and USS Paladin are ready to return home. There is only one science ship left at the entrance of the wormhole, the USS Pascal. The others have set course to a new destination. But only a few hours later a distress signal is received. After an investigation the distress call comes from the SS Lackay, a freighter. A shuttlecraft is launched from the USS Pascal to investigate the trouble on the SS Lackay. When the shuttlecraft arrives there is only one crewmember on board. The rest of the crew has vanished. The last remaining crewmember has lost his memory. He is therefore given the name John Doe. At the same time a message comes in from Admiral Christine Steichen, in command of Starbase 88. Message begins We have encountered a totally deserted ship with only one person aboard.

That is my objective. I would like to discuss cultural, philosophical and scientific issues..." A captured Replicator on Starbase 88 has decided to deactivate itself. Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report March 2014 USS Earth/Starbase 44 With the deactivation of the machine aboard Starbase 44, Admiral Steichen new orders. "I will have some scientists study the little building blocks. We will keep the blocks in isolation from one another during storage & study. There could be more of those machines on our starbase. Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo, you will search the station for more of them." While Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo use their special abilities to search for more of these robotic creatures, a message from the USS Walang comes in that the reported robotic creatures are called the "Replicators". The study of the Replicator's buidling blocks does not go well. The blocks themselves do not reveal any data and cannot be activated on themselves. Engineering and Security have developed a better weapon to seperate the link between the building blocks of these Replicators. But they also fear that these building blocks could be put together to build almost anything, even starships. "Admiral, we must not become paranoid. but it seems we need to distribute these kind of weapons to every single starfleet ship and facility. If we set up a permanent weapon we should be safe. We have already sent out the specifications of this weapon. It produces a wave that is only dangerous to these Replicators. We think that in a few months we have all forgotten about these Replicators and they do not bother us again. But we also recommend to search for the origin of these replicators and eliminate the threat. We should have these weapons on our ships as well." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 Starbase 88 still has a problem of theft of equipment. Security doesn't seem able to catch the thieves who apparently can walk through solid walls. Admiral Geert van Nieuwenhove in command of Starbase 88, lists his priorities. "First we will try to find the people who steal equipment from our starbase. There must be a connection with these machines Admiral Christine Steichen is talking about. This could be much bigger than it looks. Walking through a solid wall... that could be an indication. We will set up a trap to catch the thiefs." In holodeck 6, Lara Goma, the sister of Lieutenant Guy Goma, seems to have a different plan. While the Federation officers monitor the progress to have Lieutenant Guy Goma get his memory back and to find out what happened on the USS Latent where the entire crew has vanished, Lara Goma ativates a holodeck program, but it is not what the observing officers expect... The trap is set for the thiefs. It is just a matter of time and waiting. But the waiting continues apparently for a long time... Nothing happens. Suddenly all power of the starbase shuts down. Emergency power is activated. A message is broadcasted all over the starbase. "This is Lieutenant-Commander Trenton. All hands listen up. There is a power built up in holodeck 6. All personnel on decks 6, 7, 8 and 9 you need to evacuate immediately. Explosion will be in less than one minute." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt The Borg King is gathering more ships to have the assimilation of the Federation go faster. The plan is unfolding, slowly, but without to much trouble. There is only one thing. Master One has found out there is a Sith somewhere... Far far away... Federation Starbase 9898... A man in a dark cape is walking through the long corridor. He takes the turbolift to the lowest decks. There is a small group of Borg drones, waiting for the command to start the complete assimilation of the starbase close to where the man steps out of the turbolift. When he enters the room where the Borg drones hide, the drones immediately come into action mode. They cannot risk to be discovered. But as soon as the drones come closer the man in the cape waves with his hand. The drones fall down. There mechanical components deactivate. There is a small borg vinculum nearby. The man in the cape waves his hand. It seems for a very short moment there is lightning coming out of his fingertips. The Vinculum is destroyed. The man in the cape walks away to the turbolift... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang The Replicator Loenas Mel would like to learn more about cultural, philosophical and scientific issues of the other species he encounters. Captain Hendriks wants to join these talks. "Maybe if they are interesting." But at the same time she has another plan. "I don't trust the Replicator. We will try to find more about where they came from. A Replicator like Loenas Mel is only a very sophisticated machine. We will study it. Maybe we can use this technology for example for medical purpose." "I don't want the Trsterts to decide but I do need their advice." During the following talks between the Replicator Loenas Mel, the Trsterts and the other species, the Trsterts come to the conclusion the Replicator Loenas Mel seems to be more interested to gan more allies for the cause of the Replicators than friendly talks. Especially when he talks about objectives. "...and therefore we need to be a strong unit of people to achive goals together. The Replicators can take care of the other species. Their development will be taken care of. The Replicators will join the other species to build their society. The replicators will lead the other species to prosperity. The Replicators will organise all that is necessary to achieve this. The Replicators will take all the important decisions. The other species do not have to worry about making decisions anymore..."

The Romulans have their own problems which they will not share with the Federation. So nobody on Romulus says something about the man who came to Romulus a few weeks ago in a ship using a ship of unknown design. This man threatened to overtake the Romulan Senate and install dictatorship if his demands were not met. Of course the military guard in the Senate fired upon the man immediately. But the weapons wer not effective, not even blank weapons could hurt the man. The man had said that if his demands were not met, he would destroy Romulus. the Romulan Senate was given one week... Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis After months of being trapped at the other side of a wormhole the The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso, USS Arlington and USS Paladin are ready to return home through the wormhole that brought the ships at their current loction. There is only one science ship left at the entrance of the wormhole, the USS Pascal. A distress call from the SS Lackay lures a shuttlecraft from the USS Pascal into a trap. The one person who has survived the strange event on the SS Lackey is a danger according Admiral Steichen in command of Starbase 44, who has informed the entire Federation. The weapon against this new possible threat is quickly made and when the John Doe found on the SS Lackey is brought aboard the USS Pascal, security officers are forced to use the weapon. The John Doe falls apart and ends up in a small pile of little deactivated blocks... Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) With the first successful missions of Horkan's Replicators it seems slowly Horkan will get more influence in the Galaxy. Unknown to the Federation and the other powers in the Galaxy, Horkan has a plan of galaxy wide domination. Even the Borg Collective has been infiltrated by some Replicators already... They look like Borg. They are part of the hive mind. They even smell like Borg... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report April 2014 USS Earth/Starbase 44 Things are getting a bit more clear. These machines called replicators are very sophisticated, but Starfleet already has weapons to destroy them if necessary. Admiral Steichen in command of Starbase 44 puts her officers to work. "Search for the origin of these Replicators. They could be a serious threat to the Federation." And so the search begins. In the beginning there is not much to go on. The Replicators are build out of smaller blocks which cannot function by themselves. They are made of a very specific alloy and those metals can only be found on 219 planets. That narrows the search area just a little bit. After a few days the search for the origin of the Replicators takes a turn. A message from the Captain Hendriks in command of the USS Walang comes in just before the senior staff meeting aboard the USS Earth, flagship of Starbase 44. "We have captured a Replicator and linked it to a data computer. This particular Replicator has been constructed on a planet called Doras. We include the coordinates. If we want to know more, we have to travel to Doras. It is to be expected that the planet is now a complete Replicator planet. We will have to see when we get there. Replicators by themselves are not really a danger, but a planet full of them can be a danger to other societies. If this is the case on Doras, I suggest we do something about it." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove in command of Starbase 88 has several problems. One of those is that there are a lot of thefts all over the starbase. It seems these thieves have violent intensions too. "Are these thiefs getting really violent too? We should investigate who did this violent act." But the problem is bigger tan everyone thinks. There is a power built up in holodeck 6. All personnel on decks 6, 7, 8 and 9 you need to evacuate immediately. Explosion will be in less than one minute. One of the officers remembers that in holodeck 6 on deck 6 Lara Goma, the sister of Lieutenant Guy Goma, is trying to get the memory of the Lieutenant back by running holodeck programs. Everyone can only hope the two have heard the call for evacuation. Forcefields are activated. The forcefields contain the explosion. The damage is minimal. The only real damage is around holodeck 6. The first repair crews which approach holodeck 6, are amazed to see that Lara Goma and Lieutenant Guy Goma are cawling out of the debris. They are not hurt at all. One of the repair officers cannot believe this is possible and alls security. Six minutes later the two are in sickbay behind a forcefield. Security reports to Admiral Van Nieuwenhove that the explosion was caused by an explosive device on holodeck 6. According the doctor it would be impossible to survive such an explosion. If the forcefields would not have been in place the entire station would have eploded. The doctor cannot explain how Lara Goma and Lieutenant Guy Goma have survived... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt The Borg King is gathering more ships to have the assimilation of the Federation go faster. The plan is unfolding, slowly, but without to much trouble. There is only one thing. Master One has found out there is a Sith somewhere... Outpost 45 close to the Romulan border a man deessed ina cape walks in through the front gate. the seurity officers want to stop and ask for his identity. The man in the cape waves. "You do not need to know my identiy." The guars reply. "We do notneed to knowyour identity." The man in the cape still hides his face and waves again. "You want me to enter. Move along." The security officers nodd and reply. "We want you to enter. Move along." The man in the cape enters walks to the stairs to the cellar andenters the cellar. Unknown to the Starfleet personnel of the outpost there are five Borg drones hiding and preparing to assimilate the entire outpost. The man in the cape has no trouble to eliminate the Borg drones and destroys all the Borg equipment as well. A few minutes later the man in the cape has left the outpost... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang During the conversations between the Replicator Loenas Mel and the Trsterts and the other highly advanced species Loenas Mel says the Replicators want to take care of the other species. Captain Hendriks in command of the USS Walang has made her own conclusions. "Apparently there is not much of a cultural, philosophical, scientific talk between the Replicator Loenas Mel, the Kirie, Trsterts, Zolo, Hunanan, Musks, Yu. We will start the search of the origin of the Replicators. They are to dangerous. They have to be destroyed... We want research to be able to know who and what their aimes are and who or what originated all this." So the Trsterts make a connection between the Replicator Loenas Mel and a data processing computer. It is clear that Loenas Mel doesn't like it, but he has no choice. He is a machine, programmed and loaded with data about the Replicators. That data is needed. And that data reveals a totally different plan. Loenas Mel has simply lied. The Trsterts explain. "It is very simple. This Replicator has been constructed on a planet we call Doras. If we want to know more, we have to travel to Doras. It is to be expected that the planet is now a complete Replicator planet. We will have to see when we get there. Replicators by themselves are not really a danger, but a planet full of themcan be a danger to other societies. If this is the case on Doras, I suggest we do something about it."

Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg On Romulus General Crow is going to visit the Romulan Senate on a diplomatic mission. One man coming to Romulus in a ship of unknown design has threatened to destroy Romulus if the Romulans did not subject themselves to him. The deadline is set to one week. Romulan weapons are not effective against the man and his ship. This is unknown to General Crow and not known to the Romulun population. While General Crow is waiting to begin talks with the Romulan Senate, he is addressed by a man who does not look like a Romulan. "You are from the Fedeation aren't you? Go back to the Federation while you still can. The Romulans are doomed." Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis After months of being trapped at the other side of a wormhole the The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso, USS Arlington and USS Paladin are ready to return home through the wormhole that brought the ships at their current loction. Aboard the science ship USS Pascal, wichis monitoring the wormhole a threat of a Replicator is neutralized. The USS Pascal returns to monitor te region for more threats. A message is sent to the USS Atlantis to inform them about the threat of Replicators and how to build a weapon to destroy Replicators. Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) With the first successful missions of Horkan's Replicators it seems slowly Horkan will get more influence in the Galaxy. But some of his Replicators have already been discovered... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report May 2014 USS Earth/Starbase 44 Admiral Steichen in command of Starbase 44 has made a serious progress to find the Replicators. "Now we found the first trace of the origin of the Replicators leading us to Doras, Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo will go to Doras and investigate further. We will only send one ship." And so the USS Rome is send out to Doras to find more about the Replictors. It has become clear that the threat of these Replicators must not be underestimated. Aboard the USS Rome security has called all crewmembers one by one. The weapon which destroyes the Replicators is fired on everyone of them. Just to be sure there is no Replicator onboard. When the USS Rome arrives at Doras, scans do not indicate something that can be related to Replicators. Doras seems just an ordinary world with cities and the beginning of space travel. Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo disguise themselves and transport to the surface. The first people they encounter in the city are humanoid. They look like business men. Captain John Wainis fires a small handweapon from under his coat. But nothing happens. These business men just continue their walk and enter a building. They are clearly not Replicators. But the tricorders indicate there is a power source under the building with the same signature as the Replicators. This power source is to complicated to be build by the local population. There are clearly traces of Replicators presence. But can Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo find clues without disturbing the local population. Digging a hole in the floor of a large building might not be without anyone finding out. Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 The Federation has constructed a weapon that can destroy the link between the building blocks of the Replicators. Several Starfleet vessels are already on their way to find the origin of the Replicators. While everyone on Starbase 88 asks themselves how it is possible that Lieutenant Guy Goma and his sister Lara Goma have survived an explosion very near to them on the holodeck while that explosion should have blown both of them to pieces... All of this did not bring the memory back of Lieutenant Guy Goma who lost his memory after something happened on his ship. Lieutenant Guy Goma was found totally alone on the ship, completely confused. Ensign Lerty Draft found that strange and the fact that Lieutenant Guy Goma and his sister Lara Goma have survived the explosion in holodeck 6 was even more strange. So he starts his own investigation. He reports his findings to Starbase 88 Chief of Security Commander Carlo Demaggio directly. But Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove has a different problem. Thiefs are stealing lots of equipment and tools from the starbase lockers. "Keep searching for the thieves." Now that was a clear order. A full day passes by... "Chief of Security Commander Carlo Demaggio to Admiral Van Nieuwenhove. Sir we have found Ensign Lerty Draft in sickbay. He has been killed. But that is not all sir. Around the time of his death internal sensor scans clearly show... You better see this for yourself sir." Commander Carlo Demaggio enters the Admiral's office a moment later. He shows the Admiral the sensor logs of sickbay. These sensor logs show Lieutenant Guy Goma and his sister Lara Goma walk through the forcefields. When Ensign Lerty Draft fires his weapon to stop them nothing happens. The arm of Lieutenant Guy Goma changes into a sword with which he hits Ensign Lerty Draft who did not survive the attack. Doctor Jera Sdon who is closeby, is grabbed by Lara Goma. The brother and sister Goma leave sickbay with their prisoner Doctor Sdon. "This is not all sir. We cannot find Lieutenant Guy Goma, his sister Lara Goma or Doctor Jera Sdon. At first we didn't find any internal sensor loggs of sickbay covering the last few hours. What you have just seen is the secondary backup. What you have seen is real sir. This is what happened." At that moment Chief of Security Commander Carlo Demaggio is contacted by one of his officers. "Sir, there is an empty weapons locker here in 48A. Several handphasers and phasser rifles have been stolen..." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt One or more Sith are a big trouble for Master One. This Sith is a threat on its own, but apparently it only destroyes Borg drones. The dark side of the force is hiding itself. It seems Guillaume Mechels only has a few options. Time is not in his favour. "I will have the Jedi Masters search for the Sith Lord and hope there is only one... Master One feels he is in Federation space." Master One and Master Two take a ship, open a transwarp conduit and travel to the Alpha Quadrant, into Federation space. But it is difficult to track the Sith down. He does not reveal himself. The only way to find him is connect to the Borg drones who are in Fedeation space busy with assimilating Federation facilities. It takes only a few hours to find the Sith. He is on Starbase 9822 trying to eliminate the Borg presence there. just when the Sith is about to destroy the last Borg drone, Master One and Master Two transport aboard, unseen to the Federation staff aboard the starbase. A lightsaber fight begins. The Sith is outnumbered and realises he will not make it if he continues the fight. He throws down his lightsaber clearly totally confused. "How can this be? You are Jedi? There shouldn't be Jedi here? I don't understand..." Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang "Now we found the first trace of the origin of the Replicators, we will go to Doras and investigate further but we will take the Kirie, Scaton, Trsterts, Zolo, Hunanan, Musks, Yu with us. This way when you are in need, they can help us. If we don't go the Replicators may further proliferate." And so the USS Walang is send out to Doras to find more about the Replictors. It has become clear that the threat of these Replicators must not be underestimated. Aboard the USS Walang security has checked all crewmembers and every corner of the ship, just to be sure there is no Replicator onboard. the Trsterts technology is very usefull. When the USS Walang arrives at Doras, The USS Rome already has arrived and has started a scan of the planet. The scans perfomed by the USS Walang do not indicate something that can be related to Replicators. Doras seems just an ordinary world with cities and the beginning of space travel. A small team disguises themselves and transport to the surface. Another team of the USS Rome is also sent to the planet on the other side. The first people the team encounters in the city are humanoid. They look like business men. Unseen a fast test indicates these business men are clearly not Replicators. But further scanning indicates there is a power source under the building with the same signature as the Replicators. This power source is to complicated to be build by the local population. There are clearly traces of Replicators presence. But can Captain Hendriks' team find clues without disturbing the local population? Digging a hole in the floor of a large building might not be without anyone finding out. Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 370 12.17 The USS vertigo is in orbit of HH-34. Lieutenant Commander Matz is assembling a small security team to accompany a biologist, geologist and a chemist when they transport to the planet in about 2 hours. Day 370 14.19 The away team is transported to the surface of HH-34. Scans from orbit do not indicate animal life. Only part of the planet contains plant life. Day 370 19.24 On HH-34 a structure is discovered. First data indicates the structure is at least four million years old. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg On Romulus General Crow is warned to go back to the Federation and leave Romulus. Apparantly the Romulans have more problems than they know themselves. At the same time in high orbit of Romulus a ship of unknown design is attacked by a Tal Shiar shiip. The ship of unknown design is destroyed with one shot. The Tal Shiar have eliminated a Replicator who wanted to take over Romulus. The tal Shiar had been able to steal the Federation design of a weapon that is able to destroy the Replicators... Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis After months of being trapped at the other side of a wormhole the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso, USS Arlington and USS Paladin are returning home through the wormhole. On the Bridge of the USS Atlantis Captain Tom J. Walker looks at the main viewer. "Are we through the wormhole!" "Yes Captain." "Send a message to Starfleet command. Give them our position and location! What is our position exactly!" The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso, USS Arlington and USS Paladin have entered federation space again, leaving the wormhole behind them. The captains of the four ships are put up to date by Starfleet Command. There is a new and real threat to the Federation. First there is an older message from Admiral Chritine Steichen. Message begins We have encountered a totally deserted ship with only one person aboard. He has lost his memory. During a medical investigation this John Doe was identified as a very complex machine. This machine looks like a human, most medical instrumens determine it as a real human, but it is a machine built out of small building blocks. This machine is considered dangerous. It can walk through solid walls and can only be successfully deactivated in the original building blocks by a specific weapon, producing a specific wave. Included in this message are the specifics of this weapon. This weapon will not hurt biological life forms. Message ends The Federation has constructed a weapon that can destroy the link between the building blocks of the Replicators. The latest message from Admiral Chritine Steichen Message begins We found the first trace of the origin of the Replicators leading us to Doras. The USS Rome is send out to Doras to find more about the Replictors. It has become clear that the threat of these Replicators must not be underestimated. Message ends Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) There are some serious problems for Horkan and Besje. The Federation has constructed a weapon that can destroy the link between the building blocks of the Replicators. Several Starfleet vessels are already on their way to find the origin of the Replicators. Horkan has to come up with a better plan... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report June 2014 USS Earth/Starbase 44 In search of the origin of the Replicators the USS Rome is in orbit of Doras. the crew of the USS Rome only has a few things to do on Doras to gain more information on the Replicators. Admiral Steichen has given her orders. "Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo, you will investigate the archives of the planet in secret. Maybe there is a clue." Disguised as lokal magistrates Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo enter the large hall where all the records of the history of the planet Doras and their people has been kept since centuries. Going through the archives seems to be almost impossible to do. Captain John Wainis shakes his head. But Commander Scooby-Doo has an idea. He steps up to the clerck behind the desk and just asks for what he needs. "Dear man, we are compiling a draft of the historical events concerning all that is replicated or duplicated in the old times. because we want to speed up our search, we would appreciate any hints you have for us to reach our goal faster." The clerck opens a large book that looks a lot like a register. "Our register is kept up to date every week sir. Let's see. I have something to start with for you in section 15487 and 26487. That is about repliaction. You should find some interesting articles there. Please be careful with the documents. They are ordered and some of them are rather old." "Thank you very much." "You are welcome sir. If you need anything else, you can always ask here at the main desk." Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo start their search in the designated sections and it doesn't take long before they find something very useful. Captain John Wainis contacts Admiral Steichen. "Admiral, We found a new trace in the religious archives pointing to gods named Reply. These gods left the planet to search in the sky for Rodana. Some other articles say that some of these gods stayed on the planet Doras. These are religious texts Admiral. I don't know whether we can take them seriously or if there is any truth in them, but it is all we have now. The coordinates of the destination of the two gods who stayed here on Doras are here, written down in one of the ancient texts. We can be there in ten minutes. the other gods called Reply have left the planet Doras to go to the planet Rodana. There is a planet called Rodana in the Federation database. It is only three lightyears away. We could be there in a few days." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 Aboard Starbase 88 Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove still has the same problem. "Are the thiefs also the murderers of Ensign Lerty Draft? This is really getting out of hand. But what if someone else killed the Ensign and the thiefs are only stealing... We will use the Borg nanites to revive Ensign Lerty Draft to find out more." Although it is of course dangerous to use Borg nanites on someone there seems little choice. While the procedure on Ensign Lerty Draft continues, Lieutenant Guy Goma and his sister Lara Goma enter a small lab. Their plan is to download the scematics of the new Federation weapon that can destroy Replicators. But they are not in luck. At that time a security dril is performed in that particular section. A very nervous security officer fires his phaser imediately. It does not have any effect, but it reveals Lieutenant Guy Goma and his sister Lara Goma being Replicators. Other security officers who have the new weapon already fire without hesitation. Completely surprised Lieutenant Guy Goma and his sister Lara Goma are hit. Their bodies fall apart in very small building blocks. So now there are two small piles of building blocks that once were Lieutenant Guy Goma and his sister Lara Goma. Admiral Van Neiuwenhove is informed about the event immediately. He is also informed that Ensign Lerty Draft is alive and awake. Far away from Starbase 88... Human Replicator Rudolf is walking through the corridors of Starbase 7. He is disguised as Lieutenant Commander Rudolf. Rudolf has changed the STarfleet database to confirm his identity. But he knows his visitwill be short. Rudolf enters the science lab, proceeds to a console, downloads the scematics of the weapon that can destroy the Replicators and sends it through a secured channel home. The transmission is a success, but Rudolf is discovered. "Hey you! What are you doing." A weapon is fired, but it does not have any effect. "Replicator! Destroy it!" But it is to late. Rudolf has transported himself to a small ship close to Starbase 7. The ship jumps to warp... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt The Sith have returned... Jedi Master One and Jedi Mster Two have caught a Sith Lord. The Sith lord is in total confusion. But the Jedi Masters are also Borg... commodore Guillaume Mechels who is seen as the new Borg King, has no problem to take a typical Borg decision. "Assimilate the Sith. This way we can easily find out if there are more Sith." Master One executes the order. His assimilation tubes penetrate the Sith's skin and thousands of nanites are entring the body. The Sith although evil, uses the force to protect himself. But slowly he has to give up. The Sith hears a voice in the distance. "Resistance is futile..." The fight is over. The Sith Lord looks straigh ahead. His skin was already grey... "Yes Master, what are your wishes?" Master One steps forward. "You are now my padawan. You will learn what it is to be a Jedi. Do you understand?" "Yes Master." "As my padawan you will always tell me the truth. Now you will tell me how many Sith are in this region of space and who is their leader." "Yes Master... There are many Sith. I cannot even count them. I don't know them all. Most are still waiting to come. Their leader is... Their leader is... I am trying Master... But it is difficult..." The assimilated padawan hesitates. His face becomes red. The borg nanites inside his body start to fail. But the Sith cannot win... "The emperor! The emperor!" Then the padawan falls to the floor. He is dead beyond saving... the Borg nanites in the Padawan's body just had enough time to copy his memory to the collective. Data about the Sith is being spread. There are at least fifty Sith close to the Galaxy. Some of them are already active in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. The Sith have returned... Are there only three Jedi Masters to stop them? Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang USS Walang is in orbit of Doras where traces of Replicators are found. Captain Hendriks gives several orders. "A team will investigate in the archives of the planet in secret. Maybe there is a clue. If possible to do that unnoticed." The team on the planet has no trouble to find the archives. "Another team will make contact with the leaders of the local population to find more information. This might be considered as a violation of the Prime Directive of non interference in another less sophisticated society so their evolution happens in a natural way. Of course the Replicators can be a danger to every living being in the galaxy so everyone has to be warned no matter who they are." The second team makes contact with the Leaders of Doras. Without telling anything who they really are they ask to be heard in a matter of a new trade agreement. While the Trsterts continue to try to get more information from the captured Replicator Loenas Mel, The team that has examined the Doras Archives have good news. "We found a new trace. The religious archives indicate that the gods named Reply left the planet to search in the sky for Rodana. We have found a planet called Rodana in the Federation database. It is only three lightyears away. We could be there in a few days." But there is other news as well. "Captain, the Replicator infrastructure under the buildings of the towns on this planet are not new, but we could study them from a distance unnoticed for the local population."

"Understood Admiral." The two officers hurry to the coordinates where they should find the gods called Reply. And so in 10 minutes they enter a small forest. Just behind the treeline there is a small chappel. Inside there are two statues. On a closer investigation Captain John Wainis has a new report. "Admiral, I think we have found them. They are clearly also Replicators but in a primitive form. They look like metal skeletons. They are not active. It could be a power problem. If we need to find out more, we have to activate them somehow." Far far away from Doras and unknown to Admiral Steichen and her officers...

When Ensign Lerty Draft is awake, he is a bit surprised to still be alive. Draft does not know exactly what happened to him, but he imediately suggests a Vulcan mindmeld. And so it is done. The mind meld is initiated. At first there is nothing much information, but the Borg nanites have repaired the damaged parts of Draft's brain and even as he was dead Draft has heard the replicators Lieutenant Guy Goma and his sister Lara Goma speak about Ensign Co Ta and Lieutenant Thos Buri, apparently also Replicators, who still had to gather some equipment to be transported to planet Rupe. There all the equipmend would be distributed to other Replicators. It is now clear that Ensign Co Ta and Lieutenant Thos Buri are the thiefs of the equipment on Starbase 88...

Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang The USS Walang is on her way from Doras to Rodana where there must be more traces of Replicators. Captain Hendriks wants the Trsterts decide what to do with these Replicators. "One should certainly listen to their advice." The Trsterts explain that a replicator on itself is no real threat. That is why they have kept the captured Replicator by the name of Loenas Mel alive. There is also a warning from the Kirie. "The Replicators are basicly machines. The can receive updates in their programming. The Federation weapon which can be used to destroy them will not work on the Replicators for very long. The Replicators will install another program and the Federation weapon will be useless. So the replicators can addapt to new situations and new technology."

We will travel to Rodana." Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo join the crew of the USS Earth traveling to Rodana. On their way another Starfleet vessel has set course to Rodana. It is the USS Walang, Captain Hendriks in command. On their way to Rodana there is no trace or signs of Replicators. Regular duties aboard the USS Earth resume until the USS Earth has arrived at the planet Rodana. The first scans indicate several continents without intelligent life. Furhter scans indicate Replicators on three continents. There are not a lot of them. An away team is send to one continent close to a community of Replicators. They have with them a device that can detect the communication signals of the Replicators. With the device it is possible to interfere with the Replicator signals and reprogram them. The only problem is that setting up the device nd calibrating it takes almost fourty minutes, which is a long time when someone is under direct threat of Replicators... Captain John Wainis reports. "Admiral, we have discovered the Replicators. But there is something strange here. These Replicators are farmers. There doesn't seem to be any technology nor weapons of any kind. Unless of course if we consider their tools as weapons. These replicators do not seem dangerous. Maybe they are programmed to act like this. Maybe they don't even know they are Replicators. We have even seen several of them hugging others. I don't think that is Replicator behaviour. What should we do Admiral?" Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 The Replicators have even infiltrated Starfleet Facilities. Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove in command of Starbase 88 has more tahn a few Replicators on his starbase who steal equipment. "Try to catch Replicators Ensign Co Ta and Lieutenant Thos Buri and try to get more information from them. They are machines so there must be a way to access them with another machine, for example nanites." The entire security force of Starbase 88 starts a sweep of the huge starbase. No door is not opened, no hatch can stop them. With the new weapons the security officers have no fear they will be a victim of the Replicators. It takes only about three hours to get Replicators Ensign Co Ta and Lieutenant Thos Buri. They are attached to a computer with a specially designed interface. Basicly these Replicators have been hacked... The most important information dragged out of the two Replicators is that the planet Rupe is a central hub to provide the Replicators in Federation space with all they need. Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt The Sith have returned. they are a threat to the entire Borg Collective and they are with many... Commodore Guillaume Mechels who has taken over the Borg Collectice as their Borg King has more than a few tricks to stop the Sith. Or at least he thinks he does... "I will let Master One, Master Two and Master Three search for young Borg drones who can be taught the way of the force and become Jedi. There might be even a hundred of them in the collective of billions of drones. We will create a small army of Jedi and then search for the Sith and destroy them." Master One starts the recruitment and training immediately. 462 Borg drones have been selected as they can use the Force. As the trainnig is done in a collective way, training is fast. There is only one small thing. Whatever the Borg try, they cannot addapt their personal shielding to lightsabers. Training has finished within three weeks. The Borg Jedi do not know fear... And so a few days later while a Sith is marching isto a small Borg facility on JK-25, the Sith is easily overpowered by six Borg Jedi. The Sith is assmiliated and reveals there are about a hundred Sith gathered on planet TZ-66. Is a full scale attack to risky?

He kills two of the guards with his hands, while under fire. The third he throws on the ground. Jouret's hand enters the Romulan's head. When Jouter is finished the Romulan guard stands up and points his weapon. But Jouter looks surprised. "You should know by now that your weapons cannot hurt me. Besides, I have all the information I need..." Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report September 2014 USS Earth/Starbase 44 On the planet called Rodana A comunity of Replicators is discovered by Captain John Wainis, Commander Scooby-Doo and their team, but it looks these Replicators are harmless. They are just farming land... Admiral Steichen gives her orders. "Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo, you and the away team members will observe these Replicators more closely. There is something very strange going on here or it is a form of disguise..." And so it happens. Captain John Wainis, Commander Scooby-Doo and their team scan more and come closer to the farming Replicator community. But there is nothing new to report. An hour passes... "Can we help you people?" A voice closeby the team... Twe Replicators are just standing there. They carry fish they must have caught in the river nearby. "You are strangers aren't you? You must not be afraid of us." After an introduction the Starfleet team has no other choice than to follow the two Replicators to the small town. When Captain John Wainis asks about the the leaders of the Replicators, there is a simple but totally unexpected answer. "Our leaders are on the planet Asarama. If you whish we can have a ship take you there." Closeby the ground starts shaking. A rather large spacecraft appears from under the surface. Aboard the USS Earth in orbit the ship is detected. "We didn't detect it at first because the ship was completely deactivated. There were no power signatures at all. Who knows how many ships they have on this planet." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 Admiral Van Nieuwenhove has found out from the captured and hacked Replicators that th planet Rupe is a central hub for the Replicators in Federation space. "We will send one ship to the planet Rupe just to investigate this is not a trap and that Replicators Ensign Co Ta and Lieutenant Thos Buri have not been programmed with false information to mislead us." An hour later the USS Mexico is on its way to the planet Rupe. The voyage will take almost two weeks. When the USS Mexico is halfway, the tactical officer reports. "Sir, sensors detect a Romulan warbird. It is not cloaked. It is moving towards us, but it is not on an intercept course. We will pass it in about an hour at... half a lightyear." "What are Romulans still doing n Federation space. Contact them." The Romulan ship is the warbird Hakonix. The ship's commander and crew are on the run. "USS Mexico. I am Commander Lutok in command of the warbird Hakonix. We are running from Romulus because the Romulan star has become unstable. The Romulan Senate does not believe it. It is true. It is just a matter of time before the Romulan Star will go supernova. Maybe a year, maybe two... Please hlp us. Let us go trhough Federation space. On this course we will leave Federation space and look for a new starsystem. Please help us. Maybe Federation scientists can confirm what is happening to the Romulan star..." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt The Borg Jedi Masters are now ready to engage the Sith on TZ-66. it is time to hit back. Commodore Guillaume Mechels, leading the Borg is determined and he has a plan. "This could be a trap. Master One suspects it is a trap. We will set a bait and lure the Sith to us, so we can set a trap for them... Nothing like the smell of Sith in the morning..." Only one Tactical Cube is needed to travel at transwarp speed to the planet TZ-66 where about a hundred Sith are preparing themselves for several different battles in the galaxy... Until one of the Sith Empire's agents spots a Jedi not far away from the Sith castle. Five Sith Lords are sent to get the Jedi... But those five do not return... The same Sith Empire's agent spots a larger group of Jedi rather close to the Sith castle. There are at least fifty Jedi. The Sith are convinced this is an attack on their castle, but they don't know they are completely outnumbered. In their rage they all start running with their lightsabers in their hands towards the Jedi who just stand there as if they are watching a podd race event. The battle that follows is short and without to much noise. The trap has closed. The Sith are defeated. Those who have not been killed are assimilated by Borg Jedi... The Jedi victory is complete. Resistance is futile. With the assimilation of a few Sith Lords new information is added to the Borg database. There are thousands of Empire troops and hundreds of ships slowly making their way through the galaxy. They are still far far away from Borg space. The Sith First Fleet, about 40 star destroyers, is moving towards a planet designated as BY-55 close to the border between the Gamma Quadrant and the Delta Quadrant. Maybe it is time to set another example... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang The USS Walang has arrived at the planet Rodana to look for more clues about the Replicators. But nothing is like it seems. Even the extremely advanced Trsterts wait to act. They want to do more tests. Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 385 14.01 On HH-34 a team under command of USS Vertigo Chief of Security Lieutenant Commander Matz is investigating a power generator which could be millions of years old Day 385 14.10 The first readings are promissing. It is a simple power generator. Day 385 15.48 After further investigation the power generator seems to be more powerful than first expected. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg On Romulus General Crow has not yet decided who is what. There is the Unification Group who wants Romulus and Remus join the Federation. There are the Romulans who will do anything to let the Romulan Star Empire continue as it is. But there is a bigger problem on Romulus than politics. Romulan scientists have found a problem with the star of the Romulan Star Empire. The Romulan Senate is adviced to leave Romulus, but the senators refuse. They think there is still a lot of time. Is there? Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso, USS Arlington Are back on their way to their next mission, when the first contact Captain Walker and his crew is with the USS Navayo, a science ship. The Captain of the Navayo reports he had to patrol the Romulan border. During that patrol extensive scans were done of the area including the Romulan star system. Apparently the Romulan star has become a bit unstable... Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) Mother Replicator Besje reports there is news. Horkan is amazed to hear that the Replicators now have enough power to travel in time, but it will take about 90 percent of Besjes capacity. Besje will not be able to create more Replicators. Horkan doesn't know whether traveling through time will be an advantage. Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report October 2014 USS Earth/Starbase 44 On the planet Rodana Captain John Wainis contacts Admiral Steichen to report the situation. Captain John Wainis receives a new assignment as the Admiral explains. "I think we can trust these farmer Replicators so you, Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo and your team go aboard the Replicator ship which will take you to Asarama where it is said that the Replicator government is located. If you can, let the USS Earth follow the Replicator ship. It is not certain this is possible." So the entire team enters the Replicator ship. A few moments the ship leaves Rodana and sets course to Asarama. Apparently the Replicators don't mind that the USS Earth is following. It takes three days to get to get to Asarama Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo use these days to observe the Replicators on board. They do not find strange or violent behaviour. It is almost as if they are real humans. But both of them keep in mind these are programmed machines. By who or why is not clear yet. After three days the ship lands on the planet Asarama. When the Federation away team is invited to follow two Replicators to the Replicator leaders, some posibilities arise... Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 The situation on Romulus is getting very confusing. The Romulan Senate does not want to talk about it, Federation scientists aboard the USS Iceberg under command of General Crow in orbit of Romulus are very clear about it, but an oposition group called the Unification Group doesn't want anything else than unite with the Federation. The Romulan star is in danger of going supernova and rumours are spread by the Tal Shiar that the Unification Group has caused it. The Federation scientists aboard the USS Iceberg are sure it will not take long before the Romulan star will go supernova. It is only a matter of time and the process is not reversable. On Starbase 88 Admiral Van Nieuwenhove gas new orders for his staff. "Forget about the Replicators. The Romulan star could be more important. Let the USS Mexico contact the Romulan Senate directly and offer your assistance." And so it happens Aboard the US Mexico the Romulan Senate is contacted but instead of the Romulan Senate another Romulan appears on the main viewer. He introduces himself as T'rix, a member of the Romulan Unification Group. "Please do not close this channel. I apologize for interupting. The Unification Group wants to unite with the Federation. We have grown to a large number already. As you probably already know there is something wrong with the Romulan star. We don't have ships and therefore we need your help. Please evacuate us from Romulus and safe us..." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt The Sith First Fleet, about 40 star destroyers, is moving towards a planet designated as BY-55 close to the border between the Gamma Quadrant and the Delta Quadrant. Commodore Mechels leads the Borg. He is the one who gives the orders... "Apparently the Sith Empire has more Sith and other troops than expected. We will attack the Sith First Fleet using more Borg ships than the Sith empire has at planet BY-55. Borg will addapt to any weapons. That could take time, but with enough ships this should be an easy one. We must remember that sending a part of our fleet away lowers your defences at home..." The diabolical laughter of the Borg leader is heard all over the unicomplex. He has another plan... assimilate the Federation. The plan is already in progress, but just started... A day later the Borg fleet arrives at BY-55. The Sith destroyers and super destroyers do not hesitate. Fighters are launched. The battle begins. Blasters fire at the Borg ships, but can only destroy one. The Borg have addapted... The battle is short. The Sith fleet is destroyed. But there are still a serious number of ground troops on BY-55. Then the news comes in that the Borg have a new weapon. They call it the Death Star... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang A Replicator ship is taking off from the planet Rodana. There are some officers aboard from the USS Earth, a ship of the 44th fleet. The officers have gone aboard the Replicator ship out of their own free will. The USS earth follows the Replicator ship. Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 385 17.12 Commodore Jeffrey Slater aboard the USS Vertigo is on the bridge following the activities of his away team on the planet HH-34. He is waiting for the last reports. Day 385 18.00 Lieutenant Commander Matz in command of the away team on HH-34 confirms the restart of a very powerful power generator. It is the only equipment found in the old ruins that actually works. Day 385 18.06 The old lights in the ruins are ativated. These lights are thousands or even millions of years old and they still work. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg The situation on Romulus is getting very confusing. The Romulan Senate does not want to talk about it, Federation scientists aboard the USS Iceberg are very clear about it, but an oposition group called the Unification Group doesn't want anything else than unite with the Federation.

Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis The USS Atlantis has reached Federation space... Captain Tom Walker in command of the USS Atlantis only has one issue on his mind. "Are we through the wormhole!" "Yes Captain." "Send a message to Starfleet command Give them our position and location! What is our position exactly!" "Capain our message is recieved, but no presponse." "Keep trying. Go to red alert standby, activate moadib weapons systems. This might be chance to put them to use. Inform the other ships to stand by!" Captain Tom Walker is still waiting for new orders when he is informed about the Romulan situation by the USS Navayo. It is not certain Walker can help... The situation on Romulus is getting very confusing. The Romulan Senate does not want to talk about it, but an oposition group called the Unification Group doesn't want anything else than unite with the Federation. The Romulan star is in danger of going supernova and rumours are spread by the Tal Shiar that the Unification Group has caused it. But is this true? Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) Horkan is confronted by a dilemma. He can ravel through time, but it will consume most of the Replicators capacity. The time travel can only be done once. It is not certain whether there is a way back... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report November 2014 USS Earth/Starbase 44 The Replicator ship has landed on the planet Asarama. The Repliators aboard start unload the ship while Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo wait for someone to guide them. The orders are clear. "Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo, you will meet with these leaders of the Replicators and show peaceful intentions." And so it happens. Although this community on Asarama seems not to be aggressive, Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo are cautious. "I am Captain John Wainis, representing the United Federation of Planets. We come in peace and want to know you and your species better." "I am Kenor. I am the leader of the Replicators. Please follow me." The small group enters a building, take an elevator to the nineth floor, and enter a large rom, clearly designed for conferences. "We don't use this room a lot. We don't get many outside visitors." Kenor is very friendly. Refreshments are offered. The talks go well and Kenor aggrees to welcome a full diplomatic delegation from the Federation... Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 The USS Mexico is on its way to Romulus. It is no secret anymore. The Romulan star is going supernova in the very near future. Maybe it is only a matter of days. Apparently the Romulan Senate does not see it or does not want to see it. The end of Romulus and Remus is near and they don't do anything about it. After Admiral Van Nieuwenhove has made contact with the Romulan Senate the senators still deny there is something wrong. So There seems to be only a few options. "We will send all our ships to start evacuating these Romulans from the Unification Group from the planets Romulus and Remus. Their star is going supernova. We will help the Unification Group, but not the other Romulans." It is very strange to see that an entire fleet of Federation ships cross the Romulan Neutral zone and are able to come into transporter range of Romulus itself. The fact that some of the Romulan Unification Group are still in high positions, may have something to do with that. The evacuation goes as planned. There is no problem at all. On their way back to the Federation the leader of the Romulan Unification Group ask to be brought to Earth to speak with the Federation Council. Some officers have concerns about this. Some even suggest to drop these Romulans off on a Romulan planet. They think that is as far as they should go... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt At BY-55 the Sith fleet is completely destroyed. There is a new weapon for the Borg. A super cube or also called the Death Star... Borg leader Mechels does not hesitate. While the echo of his diabolical roar is spreading through the Borg Unicomplex, he already gives his orders. "We have much more work with a lot of Sith. Don't waist time and destroy the Sith troops on BY-55 from orbit with the Death Star. Blow the planet." And so it is done. The Death Star Commander knows what to do. "Initiate firing sequences. The Sith have to be destroyed. There is no place for them and their empire here. Fire when ready. Destroy the planet BY-55." Several energy beams are fired at the planet, but close to the Death Star the beams come together and form one huge beam. It is like time has stood still. The beam travels through space and eventually hits the planet which explodes shortly after. Aboard the Death Star everyone is silent. There is no celebration. "It is done sir. The planet is destroyed." "Don't get me wrong. I do not enjoy killing at all. But this way we demonstrate to the Sith they better leave." "Let's hope they do sir." Only a few seconds later a signal is received. It is very weak, but it is there. "Is that a survivor?" "It seems like a droid sir. But it is very complex. It is a Replicator sir. Shall I get it aboard?" "Yes. Have some drones stand ready to destroy it, if it makes any trouble." The Borg drones aboard the Death Star surround the Replicator. It just stands there. It does not do anything. Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang The USS Walang crew sees the USS Earth in pursuit of the Replicator ship that has left the planet Rodana. The ships are being followed by the USS Walang sensors. Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 386 14.00 Senior staff meeting aboard the USS Vertigo. Commodore Slater asks a situation report. Lieutenant Commander Matz reports there are more and more systems in the Ruins that are activated. Scientists are trying to find out how some of the computers work. Day 387 15.22 On the planet HH-34 almost an entire city has been reactivated The systems that have been dorment for thousands of years work as the day they were shut down. Day 389 12.55 One of the scientists has been able to reboot a computer and is now watching files on the computer. There are thousands of files. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg It is no secret anymore. The Romulan star is going supernova in the very near future. Maybe it is only a matter of days. Apparently the Romulan Senate does not see it or does not want to see it. The end of Romulus and Remus is near and they don't do anything about it. The USS Iceberg is in orbit of Romulus, but it is not certain the ship will stay there. Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis It is no secret anymore. The Romulan star is going supernova in the very near future. Maybe it is only a matter of days. Apparently the Romulan Senate does not see it or does not want to see it. The end of Romulus and Remus is near and they don't do anything about it. Even Federation starships are on route to Romulus to help evacuate the Romulan population who are willing to leave. Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) Horkan still has not decided whether he will travel in time. Some of the Replicators are destroyed by the Federation. But there is nothing to worry about. One Replicator has been found by the Borg. Maybe that is a reason to worry. Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report December 2014 USS Earth/Starbase 44 After the meeting with the Replicators and Kenor, the leader of the Replicators, Admiral Christine Steichen reports to the federation Council so a diplomatic delegation can be sent. "Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo you will return to Starbase 44. We will let the Federation diplomats take over." And there seems to be a more urgent matter... Many Federation ships are on route to Romulus to help with the evacuation of the planets Romulus and Remus. It seems that there are more Federation ships in Romulan space than Romulan ships. The Romulan star is getting to a state of supernova. It is now certain that the entire population of Romulus and Remus has to be evacuated. Both planets will be destroyed. But still the Romulan praetor and his senators do nothing...

It is now certain that the entire population of Romulus and Remus has to be evacuated. Both planets will be destroyed. But still the Romulan praetor and his senators do nothing... But Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove is not sitting by. He sends ships to help. "Get these Romulans of the Unification Group to Starbase 88, where they can rest for some time until they have found a planet in Federation space where they can start a new life. Federation diplomats can speak to them on the starbase." And so the Romulans of the Unification Group are rescued. Even the Federation freighter USS Carry under command of Commander Jeffrey Dunn has participated in the operation. It is strange though that the Romulans did not stop any of the Federation ships... The evacuation seems to be to easy. A few days later the Federation ships arrive at Starbase 88. The Romulans are welcomed and are given a place to sleep and to rest. But only a few hours later, incidents are reported in the sections of the starbase where Romulans apparently are trying to take over the Federation starbase 88. Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove has to make decisions... Fast... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Aboard a Deathstar a replicator has fallen in the hands of the Borg after the destruction of BY-55. The Borg Collective receives new instructions. "Reprogram the Replicator. Use it to infiltrate the Sith. Keep the war against the Sith going." And so it is done. The assimilation tubes of the drone standing next to the Replicator penetrate its block structure. Nanoprobes reprogram every building block of the Replicator so it will service the Borg Collective. Master One has new information from the Replicator. There is a planet which has been build into a fortress of the Sith Empire: JJ-25. Master One suggests that JJ-25 should be the next target of the continues war between the Dark side and the light side of the Force. But unknown to the Borg and Master One, the assimilated Replicator also sends untracable information about the Borg across the galaxy. At the other side the information is received bij an unknown entity... Only a few hours later a Borg cube approaches the Federation border... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang The USS Walang has followed the Replicator ship to the planet Rodana, where the crew hopes to find more Replicators. At Rodana Captain Hendriks sends teams to the planet to find a trace of Replicators. "The more we know about thses Replicators the better." It doesn't take long before one of the teams is brought to a Replicator called Kenor. Kenor says he is the leader of the Replicators. Kenor is very friendly. Refreshments are offered. The talks go well and Kenor aggrees to welcome a full diplomatic delegation from the Federation... Unknown to the USS Walang crew, exactly the same has happened when a team of the USS Earth has visited Rodana not that long ago. Until a USS Earth report is read it seems a déjà vue... Lieutenant Commander Jennifer Calhoun reports her findings to Captain Hendriks. "Captain. We have found a report from the USS Earth officers. In the report we found the meeting between the USS Earth officers and the Replicators on Rodana and their leader Kenor written exactly the same as how it happened to us. They even had the same drinks. This Replicator Kenor said exactly the same words. This makes me wonder... Is this a deception?" Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 392 19.07 On the planet HH-34 USS Vertigo Lieutenant Commander Matz makes her last round in the city. The city is getting busy. Day 392 20.00 Lieutenant Commander Matz shift ends. She plans to return to the ship when she is called by two scientists. they think they hae found personal weapons. Day 392 20.04 Some of the personal weapons found in a small depot are examined by Lieutenant Commander Matz and a specialized team of weapon specialists. Lieutenant Commander Matz decides to tests the weapons and if they pass the tests, she will gather them to use them.
