DS2 RPG General Status Report January 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 It is now clear that the Romulans and Remans are in a much greater danger than they'd ever think they could be. some Romulans with their own small craft are leaving the planet. Reamns use mine ships to evacuate the planet. As soon as the first Federation ships arrived and told the Romulans and Remans about their star going supernova, some scientists checked that and to their horror, they could do no oher thing than confirm te situation. The only thing is to run... But there are not enough ships to evacuate the Romulans of their home planet. The remans will al be evacuated on time. They have ships on their own. But the Romulan Senate refuses to recall the fleet to help. The Romulan Senate thinks the fleet should keep at their positions and continue their assignements. This is extremely strange. Federation Captains do not wonder about that. They are just getting as much Romulans of their planet as they can. Some of them do wonder why the Romulans have not stopped Federation ships. They were just let into Romulan space without anyone asking any questions. At this time even a few Cardassian ships have arrived to help out with the evacuation of Romulus and the first Klingon ships are on their way too. Romulan ships? There are three Romulan ships on their way to Romulus to help out with evacuating their people. The commanders of these ships have ignored their orders... Admiral Steichen wants to know the truth about the Romulans... "The Romulan Star is going supernova. the Romulan Senate doesn't do anything. That is not right. Something is wrong on Romulus. I will send Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo to investigate. There is not much time." Almost a day later Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo arrive on Romulus. They have been informed that the Romulan star will go supernova within days. The first thing they do is go to the Romulan Senate. Strangely enough there doesn't seem to be any security at the gate. But as soon as the two enter the building they are stopped by one of the Romulan Senators. But Wainis and Scooby-Doo are not planning to be stopped.They have questions and they need answers. "Why aren't you helping your people?" But there is no answer. The Romulan Senator zttzcks with brute force. He seems to be much stronger than a Romulan should be, and although Commander Scooby-Doo is surprised by the force of the Romulan, he uses that force in his advantage throwing the romulan senator against the wall. The Romulan Senator seems to be knocked out. When Captain John Wainis scans the Romulan Senator he steps back. A small pink creature is crawling out of the mouth of the Romulan Senator. It runs away into one of the larger rooms. "Admiral. This is Captain John Wainis. We have a more serious problem. Apparently the Romulan Senators are at least part of them are infected by an alien parasite, probably taking over their bodies. I think these are the same creatures who tried to overtake the Federation around stardate 41775.5. What shall we do?"

Aboard Starbase 88 Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove has a problem with the Romulans he saved from Romulus. These Romulans seem to want to take over the Starbase. Most of them are now locked behind forcefields, but these forcefields are draining energy. The Admiral only has a few options. "We will isolate the Romulans with forcefields as long as you can. This will not hold them forever so we will send our security teams to stun or kill the Romulans." It can be considered a drastic measurement, but there doesn't seem to be a choice. But it gets worse. A Romulan warbird decloaks very close to Starbase 88. In the operation center of Starbase 88 all attempts to contact the Romulan ship fail... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt A Deathstar is on its way to JJ-25, which is occupied by the Sith Empire. Commodore Mechels orders were clear. The information has been downloaded from a capyured and assimilated Replicator. "We will go to JJ-25, our next target, occupied by the Sith. Send the Deathstar, protected by a small fleet." But some other plans will not be forgotten. At this time 17 Federation facilities have been boarded by Borg. But these Borg are hidden and just waiting to come into action and assimilate those entire facilities. Maybe 17 is not enough to assimilate the entire federation, so The Collective is still boarding other Federation facilities. Is there a hidden Borg drone on Earth? The Deathstar approaches JJ-25. But there seems to be a little opposition. A small group of very small Ty-fighters piloted by Sith is swarming on the Deathstar. Apparently the Deathstar has no real defense against these small fighters. especially as the pilots use the dark side of the Force. The deathstar is infiltrated by several Ty-fighters which are able to hit it where it hurts the most... the powercore. The Deathstar is destroyed and so are the escort ships... Maybe the captured Replicator gave false information, maybe it was a clever trap. There doesn't seem to be a connection between the Replicator and the Sith... Maybe the Sith just got lucky. There is a new destination of an occupied Sith planet downloaded from the Replicator. GU-155. But is this information trustworthy? Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang There is something suspicious about the replicators on Rodana. Maybe this is indeed a decption. The Yu aboard the USS Walang ahve an idea...

Horkan is monitoring the situation from a large distance. But there is something else that has come under the attention of Horkan. One of his Replicators has encountered a new kind of humanoid by the name of Sith... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report February 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 With the discovery of an alien parasite using a Romulan Senator as a host, many things of what is happening to the Romulan Star Empire now become clear. As Admiral Steichen explains. "Now we know why the Romulan Senators didn't do anything. Getting them all will probably be impossible. These parasite creatures are a serious danger also to the Federation. Who knows how many evacuated Romulans are infected... We will warn the Federation and Federation ships who have been in contact with Romulans. Have them all scan for these creatures. I will have Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo follow the trail of the creature. They much catch it dead or alive. Maybe it will take them to the queen or mother creature." Message from Command Starbase 44 Attention Starfleet... Priority One... We have a serious threat to the Federation. After an investigation we have found out that the Romulan Senators or at least part of them are infected by an alien parasite, probably taking over their bodies. We think these are the same creatures who tried to overtake the Federation around stardate 41775.5. All contact with Romulan refugees should be carefully monitored. When these alien parasites are detected report to Starfleet Command immediately and take the necessarry actions. We suspect these aliens have forced Romulan Senators and/or Romulan high officials under their control to do something to the Romulan Star so it would go supernova. We can only guess their motivation. End of message. Command Starbase 44 Only ten minutes later Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo have ended their pursuit trough small corridors and dark cellars of the small pink alien parasite creature. They are standing in front of a pink creature bigger them themselves. "Admiral, this is Captain John Wainis. We have found it." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 Starbase 88 has trouble with Romulan refugees saved by Federation ships. It looks like the Romulans want to take over the starbase. But Starbase 88 defenses are well trained and well equipped. Most of the Romulans are caught in forcefields. But whena Romulan ship decloaks close to the starbase Admiral Van Nieuwenhove in command does not hesitate. "The Weapons and shields of our starbase are very much superior to those of the Romulan warbird. Give the Romulan warbird one final warning and if they do not answer, destroy them..." The Romulan warbird does not respond to any communications. Quantum torpedoes are fired. The Romulan warbird is destroyed. There is a little confusion about why the Romulans would try to take over this starbase. But the answer comes from another starbase... Message from Command Starbase 44 Attention Starfleet...

After a complete scan of Starbase 88, 16 Romulans have been found to carry this parasite. It doesn't take long to isolate them. The only thing now is to convince the other Romulans that their officers are infected by a parasite, which can control them. When one of the infected Romulans is stunned the pink little alien creature leaves its howt body. Some of the not infected Romulans see it and spread the word there are Romulan officers who are infected like Starfleet has explained earlier. The Romulans hesitate for a short time, a bit confused, but then they all surrender, except for those 15 left who are infected. Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt There are Borg on 17 Federation facilities. They are ready to start the assimilation. But there are hundreds of other Federation facilities. If the Borg collective is patient they can have hidden Borg on all of them and then assimilate the entire Federation in a matter of minutes. But there is also a new threat to the Borg... They try to deal with it. This threat is even a threat to the Jedi Masters in the Collective. "Send a scoutship to GU-155 to verify the information the Replicator has given us." The scoutship reports there is indeed a large Sith stronghold on GU-155. A new Death Star could be ready to attack soon. A few days pass... There are now Borg on 23 Federation facilities. Patience is the key to success. And there is a new developpement... "Sir, we have intercepted a strange Starfleet message..." "Let's here it." Message from Command Starbase 44 Attention Starfleet...

This offspring takes humanoids as host and spreads out, take over and can destroy an entire civilization. We could use this to our advantage. Give these parasites some help, let them take out a lot of the Federation, so we only have to pick up the pieces." Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang The Replicators on Rodana need further investigation. Captain Hendriks has the Trsterts take one Replicator and let the advanced Trsterts analyse this Replicator completely. "If there are other traces leading to other Replicators, follow these traces. If possible always investigate first." After a rather short investigation the Trsterts have already found some clues. "Captain, we have found that these Replicators are a facade. They are just set up to mislead us or any other visitor. The real powerful Replicators and their complex machinery is not on Rodana but on a planet called Repone. Going there could be dangerous. The kirie have already volonteered to send some scouts and report on the situation. They are waiting for your approval."

New Replicator soldiers will be needed... And a lot of them... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report March 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 Confronted by Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo the alien mother creature, it can only try not to be hurt. Admiral Steichen's orders are clear. "Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo you will interrogate this mother creature, if possible." Still this mother creature has a clear message. "Did you think I am alone here? I am only one of many. We will take over this galaxy and then go to the next. My sacrifice will only be a small one..." Before Captain John Wainis and Commander Scooby-Doo can do anything, the little head on the giant pink creature stops moving. It is silent. the creature is no more. Clearly these aliens have started their activities in Romulan space. There must be a way they have come here. Where did they come from? How many are there and where are they? And all of this doesn't seem that important as Romulus is about to be destroyed by a supernova... Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 With stil 15 infected Romulans on his Starbase Admiral Van Nieuwenhove has to take a decision. "Kill the parasites, but try to save the Romulan hosts..." It is easer said than done, but some of the security officers do not have a choice as they are attacked by the infected Romulans. Some of them are stunned. Some of them have to be killed. After an hour 9 infected Romulans are in sickbay. The others didn't make it. The parasites can be seperated from the hosts and are put in small glass isolation cans. There is no possibility to communicate with them so a mind meld is the only way to get information from them. But there is only one message from the pink parasites. "We will take over this galaxy." These pink parasites are a threat to the entire galaxy. Who knows how many species have been infected already... Now the DNA of those parasites is known it is easier to detect them. All transporters have been updated so if anyone infected with the parasite comes aboard, the parasite will be seperated from the host by the transporter. All kinds of reports about the alien parasites are now coming in. It is as if everyone has forgotten that the Romulan star is going super nova... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt As the Jedi-Sith war continues there could be an advantage as species 1902 is taking over part of the Alpha Quadrant. These small pink parasites are cunning, but not invincible. Far away from these parasites on the main deck of a small relay station at the border of the middle of nowhere a dark figure steps out of a shuttle and enters the small hall. Two Starfleet officers are standing ready to assist this figure as he waves with his hand. "You will assist me." "Yes master." Both officers reply. "I want all access to all Federation communications." "Yes Master." Only one of them answers. The other has difficulties to speak. The dark figure suddenly has a lightsaber in his hand. Without hesitation he strikes the unwilling officer. The other officer doesn't seem to care. "Please follow me... Master." She leads the way...

Their star is going supernova. The Federation has a new problem with little pink alien parasites and the Borg who are very slowly assimilating the Federation facilities without the Federation knowing anything about it. Even the Borg have problems with a species who call themselves "the Sith". Now the replicators are sent out to find these Sith... Is it to destroy them or is it to find an ally? Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report April 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 The evacuation of Romulus is a succes. While the Remans had already evacuated their entire planet several days ago, 106 Reman ships also helped with the evacuation of Romulus. But there was also the help of 367 Federation starships and even 213 Klingon ships next to some Cardassians, Vulcan and Ferengi. The Ferengi did it all for free. All Romulans were scanned for the pink alien parasite. All parasites were eliminated. Most Romulans were evacuated, but a part chose to stay and refused to leave their home. Some of those have been evacuated by their own family by force. Federation scientists had calculated there were still a few hours before disaster, but they were to optimistic. Just as the last ships departed to break orbit of Romulus the Romulan star exploded. Only a few Klingon ships made another pass to transport some more Romulans aboard. They were just in time as the shockwave closed in on them right behind their ships. But the brave Klingons made it and were able to stay in front of the shockwave of the exploding Romulan Star. On all ships involved with the evacuation of Romulus there was an impressie silence... Romulus and Remus are no more. Both the Romulans and the Remans have to find a new home, but also a new leadership. The entire Romulan senate, including the Praetor had been infected by the pink alien parasite. Now the question was were the Romulan and Reman refugies would be able to rebuild their society. And there was another problem. Those pink alien parasite... Were they exterminated? Nobody knew...

"We will use all means at our disposal to find out where these pink aliens came from and where they are at this time. We will eliminate them if they are found." But the first hours there is no news about the parasites. Even the victims who are freed from the parasites cannot tell much. But then some of the scientists working on Starbase 44 have some interesting news. "Admiral we have discovered that these Replicator blogs are a huge source of information. We extracted some information about these alien parasites. It is not much but we found coordinates of a planetary system. The bad news is that that system is 4 months out of Federation space..."

They were just in time as the shockwave closed in on them right behind their ships. But the brave Klingons made it and were able to stay in front of the shockwave of the exploding Romulan Star. On all ships involved with the evacuation of Romulus there was an impressie silence... Romulus and Remus are no more. Both the Romulans and the Remans have to find a new home, but also a new leadership. The entire Romulan senate, including the Praetor had been infected by the pink alien parasite. Now the question was were the Romulan and Reman refugies would be able to rebuild their society. And there was another problem. Those pink alien parasite... Were they exterminated? Nobody knew... Captain hendriks is still investigating the Replicators... Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 396 00.18 Scientists of the USS Vertigo have discovered that they found artifacts on HH-34 are automated datanodes. Day 397 06.00 Senior staff meeting. Lots of information comes in now from the HH-34 datanodes. An interface with the holodecks is being developped. Day 401 17.14 A message from Starfleet confirms that the Romulan Star has gone supernova causing the complete destruction of the planets Romulus and Remus. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg "Sir, we estimate the Romulan Star is ging supernova in a matter of hours." "Then we will have to squeeze some more Romulan refugies in our cargobay and we better hurry." The evacuation of Romulus is a succes. While the Remans had already evacuated their entire planet several days ago, 106 Reman ships also helped with the evacuation of Romulus. But there was also the help of 367 Federation starships and even 213 Klingon ships next to some Cardassians, Vulcan and Ferengi. The Ferengi did it all for free. All Romulans were scanned for the pink alien parasite. All parasites were eliminated. Most Romulans were evacuated, but a part chose to stay and refused to leave their home.

But then the coordinates of the possible home planet of these pink alien parasites come in. It is far away from Federation space... Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) Although the Replicators are machines they are surprised that some insignificant parasite caused the destruction of Romulus and Remus. Horkan has already taken precautions to be sure this will not happen in the system he is hiding. There are no humanoid creatures, but if infected species pass the system, they will have to be eliminated without giving Horkan's hide out away. It would be absolutely not a good thing if others would start a search for their lost friends... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report May 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 "Admiral, these Replicator blocks are just like the Federation database. It seems thousands of Replicators have put data on these blocks. Some is even about personal experiences of Replicators. But the only planet reference we have found was that particular one." "This planet, which might be the homeplanet of the alien parasites is at least 4 months out of Federation space. Still we are going there with enough ships." And so it happens. The 44th fleet sets course to the planetary system now desinated as RR-01. But it is a long journey and almost ueventful. At times new reports come in from Starbase 44 when the scientists have found more data about the pink parasites in the Replicator blocks. But it is not much usuful. "We don't know what it is Admiral. We can even add a message to this database. It will then be published and send to all linked Replicators. We will keep you posted." Just outside federation space the 44th fleet meets freighter on its way to Federation space. "Freighter. This is the Federation starship USS Earth. Identify yourself." "We are Jolana traders. We come from the Jolan System. We are new to this region of space. Is there a border here?" "Yes there is the border of the United Federation of Planets. You will reach the border in about an hour. Please be subject to border control. They will..." Behind the communications officer stands second in command and Chief of Security Lieutenant Commander Ulo Hung. he puts his hand on the shoulder of the communications officer. Hung whispers... "I don't trust this. Scan them for the pink parasite." "Yes sir. Scanning now sir. This could take a minute sir." A minute later the scan shows no indication of the presence of the Pink parasite aboard the Jolana freighter. "They are clean sir. Shall I contact them again?" "Yes Ensign." "Jolana traders, we have scanned your ship. I will ask my superior whether we will allow you to proceed on your present course. One moment please." It seems the Jolana do not have a choice, so they can only wait. Chief of Security Lieutenant Commander Ulo Hung reports to the Admiral. "Admiral there is a Jolana freighter stopped by us. The ship and crew have been scanned. There are no pink parasites aboard their ship or any other dangerous substances or devices. The entire situation looks a bit suspicious, but there is no real reason not to let them continue on their way. You have the last word on this Admiral." But the Admiral is rather busy. She gets a call from Starbase 44 with more news from her scientists. "Admiral, we have found a way to speed up our progress with the Replicator blocks. We can do that with only linking three of them together. But on Starfleets order, we need your permission to do that." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 So on Starbase 88 Rear Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove takes a decision. "The planet refered to by Rear Admiral Christine Steichen on Starbase 44, might be the homeplanet of the alien parasites. It is at least 4 months out of Federation space." An hour later a fleet of almost 40 ships leaves Starbase 88 lead by flagship USS Mexico. It is going to be a long journey, but battle drills will break the bordom of regular duties. All ships captains maintain the tight discipline on their ships. there is no way to know what to expect. On Starabse 88 there are still three pink parasites found alive, but without host. They are locked up in cases. Vulcans are trying to mindmeld with them trying to find out more about these creatures who are clearly intelligent. With the Federation border a few hours behind them the ships of the 88th fleet are still in a known region of space. On the bridge of the USS Continental an older Lieutenant is trying to teach the younger officers something new. "What can you tell me about this region Ensign?" "It is not Federation space. It has two stars rather far apart, but no inhabitable planets. That is why the Federation is not really interested in this region. There is not really anything here sir." "Very good Ensign. Can you als... Red alert!! Red alert!!" The Captain of the USS Continental turns around. "What is it Lieutenant?" "We are under attack sir. Look. About a hundred missiles with explosive tops are speeding up on an intercept course." "You are right Lieutenant. Evasive manoeuvres." "They are matching course sir. Sir scans indicate these missiles are not powerful enough to hurt us. I don't think we have much to fear sir." "I see. Contact the USS Mexico in case our flagship hasn't seen it." Aboard the USS Mexico the red alert sounded as well. "Admiral, they appeared out of nowhere. We cannot track the source. Maybe these missiles look to be very old sir. Maybe they have been here for centuries and are activated by our presence. These missiles are harmless sir. They can't hurt us." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt Not only Starfleet fleets are on their way to the planet which could be the home planet of the pink parasites. The Borg Collective has some ships much closer to this planet then the Federation. "This planet, which might be the homeplanet of the alien parasites, designated as species 1902, is for Federation starships at least 4 months of travel at warp 9. We will go there now, so we can be the first to get there. We will have ships patrol far enough from the Federation border, scanning every ship and crew entering in the neighbourhood to see whether they are infected with the parasite. If we find pink parasites we will assimilate the parasites." Six spheres, three cubes and one tactical cube are opening a tranwarp conduit to the planet RR-01, the possible home planet of the pink parasites. The trip takes less than a week for the Borg ships. During this time they will have to create several different transwarp conduits. After the third transwarp conduit, the small Borg fleet on its way to RR-01 finds itself close to a starsystem with one planet only. There is an imperial ship in orbit of the planet. Aboard is a Sith Lord. He makes contact. "So you are the Borg huh? You are not as powerful as the Dark Side of the Force. You want to challenge me?" But the Borg only have one answer... At the same time the Collective is informed that there are now Borg present and hidden on 47 Federation starbases, outposts and other facilities. It is not yet enough to take over the entire Federation at once. But patience can by the ally of the Borg Collective. Once the time is there these Borg infiltration drones will jump into action and assimilate the Federation... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang During the search for the Replicators origin, a planet called Repone is found. Repone is still a week away at high speed. Captain hendriks has the extreme advanced Trsterts handle the replicators. She also asks the Kirie to do some scouting of repone. The Kirie can travel much faster than Captain Hendriks ship. "Got to go to Repone, but investigate first." "Understood Captain." After a full day the first reports from the Kirie at the planet Repone already come in. "The planet is completely covered by Replicator buidlings, but the people who live in this huge planet city are real. They are no machines." When Captain Hendriks ship arrives at Repone, the Kirie have more information. "These Replicator buildings are almost new. We can see that from the way the Replicator building blocks are linked together. We have already asumed we are getting very close to the origin of the Replicators." Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 402 02.08 The data coming in from the planet HH-34 is now put into a holodeck program. The USS Vertigo engineers do not know what to expect. Day 402 09.00 Commodore Slater, in command of the US Vertigo, wants to activate the HH-34 holodeck program. Chief of Security Matz has no objections. Day 402 09.01 The HH-34 holodeck program is activated... Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg The USS Iceberg is on patrol at the Federation border. the threat of pink parasites is real and is taken serious. Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington have done their bit of the action. With most of the Romulans safe and probably the threat of the pink parasites eliminated in Federation space, there is new information on these pink parasites. Apparently a planet called RR-01 could be the home planet of these creatures, but HH-01 is more than four months traveling from the current position of the USS Atlantis... In Romulan space there are still small ships carrying Romulans aboard, who were able to escape the destruction of their home planet. Most of these ships do not have warp drive. Aboard the USS Atlantis, it is busy on the bridge... "Captain we have reached the coordinates. "Thank you." Captain Walker adresses the commanders of the USS Elpaso and USS Arlington. "Commander Yorlan and T’pau, prepare for ship separation." Sonak reports. "Moadib defences systems are fully oparational." "Activate the defences after ship separation." All seems to be going smoothly. Maybe Anakaa is just curious. "Any news from Starfleet, inform them of our status. Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) There is some disturbance among the Replicators. Replicator mother Besje tells Horkan, the hirogen Ori prior, that a ship is coming straight to Horkan's hiding place. There is only one system between them and the location of Horkan. The situation gets worse. The defence detection grid on the replicator planet has detected the extreme advanced Trsterts aboard that particular ship, but also the indestructable Kirie. It is told the Kirie fly through space without ships and can even fly through a star without being hurt... Besje advices Horkan to leave his hiding place and move away from this region... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report June 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 On their way to RR-01, the possible home planet of the alien pink parasite the 44th fleet meets and holds a Jolana freighter. Admiral Christine Steichen listens to her officers. "There is still something suspicious about these people. Although they are not infected with the pink parasites, our chief of security has a feeling they are not tellng everything. I will have a team of securty officers board the Jolana freighter, interrogate the crew and search the ship." Security teams are transported aboard the Jolana freighter, the crew is assembled and questioned. Other teams search the ship. Only five minutes later the USS Earth receives a report from one of the search teams. "USS Earth. We have found a hidden compartment. We have opened the compartment and found two Jenola children. When we confronted the Jenola crew they were in panic. They say the two children are the only prins and princess of their people. Their King and Queen have been killed. Some of the crew have mentioned that they are the last of their species, but we have no way to check that. If it is true..." Another message comes in from Starbase 44. "Admiral, we have developped a new methode to gain better access to the Replicator blocks. If we link five blocks together we gain a portal to the Replicator main database. Admiral, that is where all the newsletters are..." Another voice interupts. "Admiral. I am Doctor Darsus. Before we proceed I must warn you that this procedure can be very dangerous. We might lose control over these Replicator blocks. While we can read their communications, they might be able to read ours. It is simply about who is the better... hacker." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 The 88th fleet is underattack by very old and harmless missiles. The reason for this attack is unknown. Maybe it has to do with the pink parasites. after all the 88th fleet is on its way to a planet called RR-01, which is presumed the homeplanet of the pink parasites. Admiral Van Nieuwenhove doesn't take any risks. "Destroy the parasites still alive in the Starbase 88 lab. They are to dangerous." His orders are executed. A few moments later the 88th fleet is hit by the missiles. "No damage sir, as predicted." The next few days there are no incidents. Investigations have pointed out that the missiles were already in space like a minefield. It is unclear who put them there, but it must have been maybe a few thousand years ago. On the bridge of the USS Continental the first officer is trying to teach the younger officers something new. "So Ensign. What kind of star is that." "It is a blue dwarf sir. We could use it to gain some deuterium." "Very good Ensign and what is... Red alert!" The Captain of the USS Continental turns around. "Now what?" "Long range sensors detect a fleet of at least 60 ships. There technology matches ours. Sir we are being hailed" "Let the USS mexico answer that." Aboard the USS Mexico Admiral Van Nieuwenhove looks at the main viewer. There is a green female looking at him. "We are the Moestards. You have entered our territory. We know you are from the Federation. Is this a Federation invasion of our space? I suggest you return to the Federation at once." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt While wondering why the Sith empire has shown up and what their plans are, the war between the Borg Jedi and the Sith continues. "As soon as the new Death Star is ready, we will attack GU-155 and destroy it. Watch those small fighters. We will need a large group of fighters ourself to take them out before they take out your brand new shining Death Star, which is not yet insured..." The battle of GU-155 has begun. A huge swarm of smaller ships from the Death Star to counter the fighters launched from the planet. Space around the Death Star is filled with small craft like fireflies around a pot of honey... "We will be in range in 16 minutes." As the battle continues it seems the Sith are losing fighters rapidly. "We will be in range in 4 minutes." There are only three Sith fighters left when the Death Star comes in range of the planet GU-155. Two of them are destroyed. One of them is disabled and flies away at high speed in a spin. The Sith Lord in this fighter watches the Death Star fire its main weapon on planet GU-155. The planet explodes... The Sith Lord, Darth Gar, in his small fighter feels the death of the people of GU-155. Darth Gar can only whisper. "They will pay for this. Revenge..." Then he disappears. --- A small Borg fleet is on its way to the possible home planet of the pink parasites, RR-01, when a Sith Lord tries to stop this fleet overestimates the Dark Side of the Force... "Our little fleet doesn't have time for this Sith. Destroy his ship. Then proceed to RR-01." The Borg do not even speak to the Sith Lord. His ship is destroyed without losing to much time. --- At the same time the Collective is informed that there are now Borg present and hidden on 68 Federation starbases, outposts and other facilities. Once the time is right and enough Federation facilities have a secret Borg presence, these Borg infiltration drones will jump into action and assimilate the Federation... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang The investigation of the planet Repone reveals that the humanoids living there are real. Only the buildings are built by the Replicators. Why? How? More questions... Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 402 09.02 The HH-34 holodeck program is activated. A humanoid person appears. Around the humanoid structures appear. Day 402 09.12 To everyone's surprise an entire village appears. There is doubt whether this is the right data. Day 402 09.31 The holodeck village comes to life. One of the older humanoids walks straight to the Starfleet personnel who is watching the village coming to life. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg The USS Iceberg is still patroling the Federation border without incidents. Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington are in position. Starfleet Command has been contacted. "Atlantis, you have a go. Please be carefull. Starfleet Command out." Everyone is ready. Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) Horkan has moved his base of operations and cut all traces to the Replicator planets discovered by the Kirie.

Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report July 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 On their way to RR-01, the possible home planet of the alien pink parasite Admiral Steichen in command of the the 44th fleet decides to let pass a Jolana freighter. "Contact the Federation council to take care of these people and give them a new home." Three days later the Jolana freighter arrives at Starbase 998 where the people of Jolana are welcomed. The 44th fleet continues beyond the Federation border on its way to RR-01. The first six weeks nothing exiting happens, except for the battle drills in the middle of the night. But one afternoon... "Admiral, there is a ship on an intercept course." "What kind of ship?" "Unknown. They have opened a channel." "On screen." "Hello hello. I am controler Gtaro. You must hurry. Your contesters only have a week to sign in. You know. The Interstellar Public Games. Don't tell me you haven't heard of it. Come on hurry up. I will give you a list of open competitions. there is not much left so you better decide fast fast fast which competitions you have participants for." "Admiral we are receiving a list of all kinds of... I think they are some kind of sports, athletics, team competitions... And this controler Gtaro was right. If we want to participate there is not much left on this list. There are sixteen planets participating in these Interstellar Public Games. If we want to join in we should find athletes. There should be at least some in our fleet." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 The 88th fleet is on its way to RR-01, the possible homeplanet of the pink alien parasites who are a serious throeat to the Federation, but also for other people. The 88th fleet is stopped by a fleet of the Moestards who are protecting their border. They don't seem to like the Federation much. Admiral Van Nieuwenhove will try to negotiate and hope the Moestards will listen. "I will try to convince the Moestards to join us. I will explain what is at stake." Admiral Van Nieuwenhove explains to the Moestards commander about the pink alien parasites who were trying to take over the Federation by using humanoids as host. He asks to be allowed to make his journey shorter to RR-01 the possible home planet of these pink alien parasites by going through Moestards territory. And then comes a surprising answer. "You have? We are trying to track those bugs down for centuries. Everytime they suceed in getting some of us. We have decent scanners you know. We have already scanned you and your ships. Why don't we join you in the search of these Bugs? We have a lot of resources." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt/The Borg Collective The war with the Sith seems to have come to a turning point. But not the turning point everyone was expecting... Sith Lord Darth Gar is walknig on the Death Star unnoticed. the force is strong with him, but it is the dark side of the force. Darth Gar uses the force to walk on the death star. A few moments he launches from one of the hangars. When at a safe distance Darth Gar speaks to himself... "Revenge... That is why I came. After thousands of years the Sith have returned, but not to be defeated again..." Darth Gar stops speaking. The death star explodes in a huge ball of fire... -------------------------- On the other side of the Galaxy a Borg fleet speeds up to RR-01, the possible home planet of the pink alien parasites. As the Borg King already explains. "We continue to RR-01 where it is presumed the Pink parasites have their homeplanet. Once we are there we will start with asimmilating one of these pink parasites... If they are there and we can find them..." Even when several Federation fleets are also on their way to RR-01, the Borg are of course first to arrive using transwarp speed. But the teams of drones transported to the planet do not find one pink parasite. There are two large lakes with kind of bugs swimming in it, no fish. There are lots of forrests and other plant life, but there is no other animal life form and no pink parasite. -------------------------- The Collective is informed that there are now Borg present and hidden on 91 Federation starbases, outposts and other facilities. Once the time is right and enough Federation facilities have a secret Borg presence, these Borg infiltration drones will jump into action and assimilate the Federation... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang Captain hendriks and her ship are in orbit of a planet called Repone. Aboard the ship are also a group of Trsterts, Zolo, Hunanan, Musks and Yu. the ship is escorted by the Kirie who are flying aside of the USS Walang. Repone is clearly built by Replicators but there is a humanoid population on the planet. Captain Hendriks gives her orders. "Transport one of those people living in this Replicator city of Repone aboard and try to find out whether he can give us directions to place closer to the origin of the Replicators. We first need to know where the origin of the Replicators. Aside of that the replicators are machines. So are their buildings. We will let the Trsterts get as much information from the machines on the planet Repone to find a clue of the origin of the replicators." Some of the people on Repone are very willing to come aboard the USS Walang. They talk as free people and it doesn't take long before they willingly tell Captain Hendriks that the main home planet of the Replicators is Gadensa. During the investigation of the buildings on Repone the name Gadensa is confirmed as the main home planet of the Replicators. Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 402 09.32 A holodeck simulation onbaord the USS vertigo reveals a village of HH-34. One character steps forward to the starfleet officers who are watching. Day 402 09.45 The holdeck character of the HH-34 village has explained that thousands of years ago these people lived here. They made recordings hoping someone would see it in the future. These are recordings made through the history of the village. Day 402 14.23 The holodeck recordings of the HH-34 village still continues. Already 50 years have passed since the beginning of the recordings. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg The USS Iceberg is still patroling the Federation border without incidents. Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis Everyone on board the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington is ready to get into the action. But they have to be patient. Aboard the USS Arlington, Commander T'Pau in command, the engineers take this short break to allign the warp field coils. An new subspace resonator is also installed. Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) On the planet Gadensa Horkan is making preparations to leave with his fleet. He knows the Federation ship USS Walang is coming towards his hiding place. He has already been able to escape ones, but this time is different. Aboard the USS Walang is a delegation of the very advanced Trsterts. Even Horkan's replicator army cannot stop these Trsterts. It is time to escape again. the replicator fleet leaves the Gadensa. A few minutes later the planet Gadensa is completely destroyed by a huge blast... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report September 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 The Federation has made some new friends in the Colsndar Region thanks to the crew of the entire 44th fleet. Admiral Steichen in command has a few words to say. "The Interstellar Public Games have been going rather well for the athletes of the United Federation of Planets. Some of them made it to the finals and some even got a medal. We will stay some time in this region. Maybe we can get your hands on interesting technology or make a trade..." The 44th fleet receives technology which takes care of any pink parasites. The technology is easily replicated and can be build easy with simple equipment. This is a major breakthrough for the Federation. Maybe it will not be necessary to travel all the way to Hodus-9 which is still several months of traveling... Unknown to Admiral Steichen and the crew of the 44th fleet. The Borg Collective is also on its way to Hodus-9... Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 When the 88th fleet arrives at planet RR-01 it is sure there are no pink arasites. The planet has been assimilated by the Borg and if there were any pink parasites on the planet, they are gone now... Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove adresses his officers. "If the Borg are here, this cannot be the home planet of the Pink Parasites. We will ask the Moestards if they know about another planet or system the Pink Bugs have used in the past. Maybe we will find a trace there." Some of the astrophysics officers gather with some of the Moestards in astrometrics of the USS Mexico. The Moestards do not know the name of a planet where the pink parasites can live, but they do have coordinates. Using the extreme accurate equipment uin astrometrics the Moestards find the planet they are looking for on the star map. It is a planet called Hodus-9... It is a few months travel... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt/The Borg Collective A new deathstar has to be build. Once it will be ready the deathstar will be deployed, probably SL-54 will be the next Sith planet that will be destoryed. But there is still time for Sith Lord Darth Gar to mess things up. Unknown to anyone Darth Gar is traveling to the shipyard where the new deathstar is being build... And Darth Gar is patient. He waits until the deathstar is operational. Then he strikes... The Drones of the collective protecting the new deathstar are no match for the extremely powerful Sith Lord. Even when a large group of drones approach him to assimilate him or worse... Darth gar's lightsaber is the only thing he needs to eliminate them. Instead of the Borg assimilating Darth Gar, he uses the dark side of the force to take control of the drones who are on the deathstar. Only sixteen minutes after Sith Lord Darth Gar started his attack he is in command of a deathstar with a crew under his control. The deathstar leaves for an unknown location... -------------------------- There is only one word in the collective... "We will go to Hodus-9 to find out more about these Pink parasites." Not long after they took care of RR-01 the borg collective arrives at Hobus-9. It is clear this planet is indeed the origin of the pink parasites... -------------------------- The Collective is informed that there are now Borg present and hidden on 164 Federation starbases, outposts and other facilities. Once the time is right and enough Federation facilities have a secret Borg presence, these Borg infiltration drones will jump into action and assimilate the Federation... Unknown to the Borg Collective three Federation facilities have been visited by their worst enemy, the Sith. The only thing they did was terminate the Borg presence. Then they left without being noticed... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang Captain hendriks sets up a conference, including Starfleet, with the Kirie, Scaton, Trsterts, Zolo, Hunanan, Musks and Yu. "After that maybe we could come to a joined conclusion and act accordingly. The matter is urgent. This is not a matter to decide by only a few people." The meeting takes three minutes, and only because the communication channel with some of the participants were not working as they should. everyone agrees that Captain Hendriks should go to Gadensa to look for more Replicators. And so it is done. The Kirie speed up and start their scouting activities, the Trsterts boost up the sensors and the Yu polish their weapons. But all of it seems a bit futile. When the USS Walang arrives at the coordinates of the planet Gadensa there is nothing... "There is no planet here Captain." One of the Trsterts has an explanation which nobody seems to like... "There was a planet here. Do you see those very small asteroids? Those are not asteroids. The planet Gadensa is completely destroyed... I suggest we leave a satelite to scan the area, but at first sight, I don't think we are going to find someting." The Kirie suggest to scout the entire region. Maybe they can find a trace of the Replicators. Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 405 16.01 The Holodeck simulation of the planet HH-34 has ended.

Day 406 00.23 The USS Vertigo is on its way to the planet Draga. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg The USS Iceberg is still patroling the Federation border without incidents. New technology has been installed for easier detection and eliminating pink parasites. But at this time none of these aliens have been detected. Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis The crews of the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington return to regular duties while new orders are on their way. After solving some serious problems and new encounters the Federation can use every ship. Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) Horkan has decided to hide in time. He has moved his entire Replicator facilities to the time of the big bang, the origin of the universe... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report October 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 The 44th fleet is on a voyage to the home planet of the Pink Parasites. Admiral Steichen is confident this mission will be a success. "We are armed with the new advanced technology to destroy any pink parasites... We are ready to travel to Hodus-9. Bit first we will introduce a diplomatic delegation in this region." About a week later there is a disturbing report. Long range sensors detect a Borg ship. But the ship seems to be deactivated. When the 44th fleet arrives at the Borg ship the entire fleet is on red alert. But there doesn't seem to be any danger coming from the Borg ship. An away team is sent... It doesn't take long before the away team reports. "Admiral, whatever happened here, we missed it. All these drones here are deactivated, burned, or... worse. Whoever did this must have been in large numbers, very fast and able to do it before the Borg could addapt. All systems of the Borg ship are off line, but we already found some systems we can reactivate. We have already examined a few of the Borg neural processors, but there is nothing on them, no data at all. It is all very strange..." Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 The 88th fleet is on its way to Hodus-9. The data of their last encounter on RR-01 with Borg on that planet, Admiral Van Nieuwenhove takes precautions. "Alert Starfleet Command that the Borg are in this region. It could be a Borg plan to assimilate more and then the Federation..." But the answer from Starfleet Command is a bit strange. "Actually the planet RR-01 is not in Federation space. So this is not really any of our concern. Proceed on your mission." That is it. So the 88th fleet leaves RR-01. A few days later they have almost forgotten about the Borg. But didn't the Borg on RR-01 see this large Federation fleet? A few days later on one of the ships in the 88th fleet, USS Oregon, a Borg drone is found. There is something strange with this Borg drone. "Sir, this is clearly a Borg drone sir. But it has been sliced in pieces by somekind of laserbeam or something... This drone's neural processor is gone sir. We cannot retrieve any data of what has happened to him. Internal sensor logs do not reveal anything either..." Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt/The Borg Collective The Collective is informed that there are now Borg present and hidden on 172 Federation starbases, outposts and other facilities. Once the time is right and enough Federation facilities have a secret Borg presence, these Borg infiltration drones will jump into action and assimilate the Federation... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang Where are the Replicators? The first reports for Captain Hendriks are negative. Scans and scout teams are still scouting, but hope is decreasing... Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 407 14.00 Senior staff meeting. The USS vertigo is on route to Draga. All systems are operational. Nothing special to report. Day 409 6.00 Senior staff meeting. The USS vertigo is on route to Draga. One crewmember has broken an arm during the last battle drill. Nothing further to report. Day 412 14.00 Briefing on the USS Vertigo bridge. Helmsman Ensign Lacort has participated in a search and rescue excercise for the first time as helmsman. Ensign Lacort did very well. Nothing further to report. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg The USS Iceberg is still patroling the Federation border. Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis On the bridge of the USS Atlantis stands a man with an impressive record: Captain Tom J. Walker. "Contact the Elpaso and the Arlington, inform to rejoin the Atlantis in the next 30 minutes, once they atached make course for the nearest starbase!" And so it happens... Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) Still hiding in time, Horkan has all the time he needs to rebuild his Replicators and rebuild his Replicator facilities, including a huge fleet. Then Horkan does what he does all the time... Try to take over the universe. But one of the Replicators shows strange behaviour. His name is Pinky... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report November 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 Armed with the new advanced technology to destroy any pink parasites, Admiral Steichen continues the search. "We are ready to travel to Hodus-9. We will Leave a diplomatic delegation in this region." But as on their way an inactive Borg cube is found, there is a moment to think especially as the Borg have clearly been beaten by a very powerful enemy. Some Captains in the 44th fleet are convinced the Federation should try to find this enemy of the Borg. Others see it as a chance to study Borg technology. Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 With the finding of a Borg drone in the 88th Fleet Admiral Geert Van Nieuwenhove gives new orders. "Before we continue to Hodus-9, we will check all ships of our fleet on borg presence. Once our ships are clear, continue your voyage." All ships are checked on Borg by mostly nervous crews. But all ships are clear. No Borg are found. The chief Medical Officer of the USS Honduras finds that the Borg drone found was already on board before the fleet left Starbase 88. Starbase 88 is contacted. Starbase 88 is searched for Borg. Starbase 88 is clear of Borg. There is no explanation to be found on how this Borg came aboard. So the voyage continues... A few days later the 88th fleet is under... "Red Alert!" "Admiral we have detected an inactive borg ship. Sensors indicate no life forms aboard. I suggest sending an away team." A small away team of four volonteers is sent to the Borg ship. The first report is already coming in after ten seconds. "Sir, we have arrived. This is incredible. All Borg have been killed. Whoever did this we have to find. The Borg suffered a major defeat here. The first impression is that the Borg had no defence against these Borg hunters. There must have been a surprise attack of a serious large army. The Borg database is completely empty. The neuroprocessors of the drones are destroyed. Whoever did this did a lot of work to cover their tracks." A few minutes later as if it is a coincidence there is a message from the USS Earth of the 44th fleet. The USS Earth has also found an inactive Borg ship... Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt/The Borg Collective A large Borg fleet is on it's way to Hodus-9. the fleet is that large that a few ships who run a bit behind are not missed. There is only one order. "Assimilate the planet Hodus-9 and all the pink parasites." Upon arrival of Hodus-9 the job is very quickly done. The pink parasites are assimilated within the hour. -------------------------- But there is a problem. Now a death star is stolen. It is decided not to build one but a few deathstars. When the deathstars are ready, They will be send to the next Sith planet: SL-54. It will take 14 days... -------------------------- The Collective is informed that there are now Borg present and hidden on 189 Federation starbases, outposts and other facilities. Once the time is right and enough Federation facilities have a secret Borg presence, these Borg infiltration drones will jump into action and assimilate the Federation... Unknown to the Borg Collective it is the Sith Darth Gar who strikes back. Several Borg ships, even death stars, have been a victim, but Darth Gar also frees Federation facilities without the Federation knows anything about it.... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang Still is search of the replicators, the USS Walang has come to a stop at the last known location of the Replicators. Captain Hendriks, in command, has a plan. "Let the Kirie search the entire region for any traces of the Replicators. They probably do not find anything, but you never know. This search will take some time so we can return to the Federation. If something comes up the Kirie will report to us. We can only wait and continue with our daily work." But also the extreme advanced Trsterts will be looking for the Replicators. A few weeks later finally the first reports are coming in. First from the Kirie. They have not found anything. Then only a day later the Trsterts have a disturbing report. "Captain Hendriks. We have found something disturbing. We have found traces of chronicon particles. This indicates the Replicators used time travel. If we want to find them, we will have to travel through time. The only thing is, we don't know to which time period they went..." Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 413 07.23 The USS vertigo is still on route to Draga hoping to find survivors of the planet HH-34. Day 415 04.56 An unexpected battledril disturbs the boring daily routine on the USS vertigo. Day 418 22.00 Senior staff meeting. Still 28 days away from the planet Draga. The entire day the crew held shuttle drills. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg The USS Iceberg is still patroling the Federation border. Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis The USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington are on their way to Starbase 99. There is a rumor that Captain Tom J. Walker will take command of the starbase. But that is only a rumor... Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) Horkan has hidden his Replicators in time. His fleet and the number of personnel are growing. Still there is this one little problem. The Replicator called Pinky isn't really smart. But he is cute and therefore Horkan has not yet recycled Pinky. Pinky doesn't understand why Horkan wants to conquer the universe... Players: Thomas van Rhee DS2 RPG General Status Report December 2015 USS Earth/Starbase 44 The 44th fleet has come to a stop as a Borg ship is on their route to Hodus-9. The Borg ship seems to be deactivated. There is only very little power which is fluctuating. Admiral Steichen takes a decision. "We will try to activate the Borg ship to retrieve data about what happened on this ship." There are more than enough volonteers to assemble a large away team to transport to the Borg ship. Once the away team is aboard, there is a split up in smaller teams. The first ten minutes there is no report, but when the first team reports in, reports follow very fast. "USS Earth. This is team 6. There is nothing here. These Borg drones... they are... destroyed. I don't know what else to say about it. We didn't find a working node yet. Whoever did this was fast and... they were with many... I don't know. I don't like the Borg, but these Borg met a worse enemy than anything I can think of. Nobody deserves this..." Other teams report the same. Some team leaders can only give a very short report. There is no Borg drone who survived. One of the teams have found a system, still working. But when accessing the Borg database, the team can only conclude that the entire Borg database in the vinculum is erased. "There is nothing here Admiral." Further investigations do not reveal who did this violent act. There are no traces... A message from the 88th fleet comes in... The 88th fleet is also on its way to Hodus-9 to deal with the Pink parasites. They are on a different route than the 44th fleet. On their way they also found a Borg ship. All drones were vilolently terminated. No further information is available. Players: Christine Steichen Starbase 88 The 44th fleet has come to a stop. Several ships are securing the perimeter around the Borg ship. But there doesn't seem to be any danger. The Borg drones aboard the Borg ship are terminated. Even the engineers cannot activate them. Admiral Van Nieuwenhove has donesome thinking. "Before we continue to Hodus-9 we will check the Borg ship. Try to find out what happened to it." But the search on the Borg ship does not really reveal anything new. The only thing that can be said is that the Borg have met an enemy much more destructive than anyone ever encountered before. Players: Geert Van Nieuwenhove USS Thunderbolt/The Borg Collective The war is getting out of hand. The Sith and especially one of them have become a great danger. It seems the Sith are always a step ahead. Commodore mechels has a meeting with Master One and asks him to deal with the Sith lords. Master One assembles his Jedi. The Sith have to be destroyed... ---------------------------------------- But there is something else. The Borg fleet has arrived at the home planet of the Pink parasites. The order is clear. "Assimilate the planet Hodus-9 and all the pink parasites." Thousands of Borg drones are transported to the surface of Hodus-9. the assimilation process of the small Pink parasites seems to be taken longer than expected. There are so many of them. Then the Borg intercept messages of Federation fleets that are on their way to Hodus-9... ----------------------------- Unknown to the Federation the Borg have already a few hidden Borg drones on 202 Federation facilities, starbases and out posts. These hidden drones are ready to take over and assimilate these facilities. They are standing by and wait for the instructions of the Collective. But not everything is going according to plan. On outpost 127A Four Borg drones are waiting for the order. They have hidden themselves in a basement of a larger building. Federation personnel has no idea Borg drones have infiltrated their facility. But then a man dressed in a cloak enters the building. Nobody seems to notice him. He takes the stairs to the basement. There the Borg drones move towards him. But then it all happens very fast. The man in the cloak has a glowing sword in his hand. A few seconds the Borg drones are on the floor... completely destroyed. The man puts away his weapon. Under the cloak two red eyes can be seen. The man whispers... "The Sith have returned..." The Borg now have a few hidden Borg drones on 201 Federation facilities... Players: Family Keuleers USS Walang Captain hendriks, her crew, the Kirie, the Trsterts, Zolo, Hunanan, Musks and Yu have come together to discuss the situation about the replicators. It seems to be an impossible task to find them... Players: Marianne Loogen USS Vertigo Day 420 17.43 On its way to planet Draga the crew of the USS vertigo has time to make the latest adjustments to the ships systems. Day 422 13.00 The last crewmember of the USS vertigo has made a call home. The next available opportunity to do so will be in seven days. Day 426 14.00 Senior staff meeting. There is nothing unusual to report. Chief Navigator Lieutenant elsworth suggests to do some shuttle hide and seek drills. Players: Nadine Peeters USS Iceberg The USS Iceberg is still patroling the Federation border without incidents. Players: Jan Theys USS Atlantis As the USS Atlantis, USS Elpaso and USS Arlington are on their way to Starbase 99, the crews of the ships seem to know already that Captain Tom J. Walker, in command of the USS Atlantis, will take command of starbase 99 and that he will be promoted to the rank of Commodore. There is only one thing. Captain Tom J. Walker has no idea, he did not ask for the job and he was not offered the job. But it seems to be very difficult to convince his officers... Players: Johan Michielsens, Conny Parmentier Ovion (Hirogen/Ori/Replicator Vessel) Horkan has hidden his Replicators in time. His fleet and the number of personnel are growing. Still there is this one little problem. But Horkan's Replicator fleet and Replicator crews are far from ready to conquer the Universe. Even Replicator Pinky understands. Players: Thomas van Rhee
