Fleet Update

(USS Rosenante, Bridge, CO- captain Ahmed Ibn Salid- Day 1- 1600)

41 days....

That had been the length of time that they had been stuck inside the Harvester. During that time they had lost 18 crew members, pulled off the impossible and managed to forge an alliance that had allowed them all to escape.

10 days....

It had taken the Rosenante 10 entire days to return back to their own stellar neighborhood. Traversing the subspace river with an underpowered primary navigational deflector had been worrisome, as he had no way of knowing if the system would be able to open enough of a exit point once they reached their destination.

Still, it seemed that Luck and Allah were on their side as the modified Rosenante managed to exit the subspace river without much difficulty.

The last two days had been spent in Normal space headed towards Geneva Station. To the relief of the ship's crew and her Captain they were coming home.

3 months....

That was the length of time that Starfleet engineering at Geneva Station estimated the repairs would take. Of course they hadn't actually had an opportunity to SEE the Rosenante yet, they were going completely from conjecture.

Ahmed looked up from his reports to see the glittering star that was Geneva Station shining in the background. It was late on Alpha shift and the captain was taking his usual duty shift on the bridge rather than in his ready room or in his quarters.

There was a lot of things to arrange, including a meeting with A couple of members of Starfleet Engineering command and a face-to-face with admiral Talbot.

"Captain we're being hailed by Geneva," Someone said.

Ahmed nodded and handed his Report PADD to one of his Yeomen.

"On screen" he ordered and watched as the image of a distant Geneva Station was replaced by the image of the Station's Yard Officer.

^Captain Salid, welcome back.^ the Efrosian commander said once the channel had been established.

"Thank you Commander Lavil, it's good to be home."

The Efrosian nodded before continuing, ^ yes it is indeed.^ He replied. There was a slight hesitation, before he continued. ^ I've been led to believe that you chopped up a good portion of your forward hull captain, as well as cracked your starboard impulse reactor and that you require significant overhaul and recalibration of your Navigational deflector and Spiral Geometry drive. Is that correct?^

"Fundamentally, I'm afraid, " Ahmed replied, "There's a lot more to it than that, but those are the basic facts."

^I see.^ Lavil said with a frown, ^ well, for repairs of that extent we'll have to place your ship in one of the repair yard docks. We can't handle the repairs at the central bay.^

Ahmed nodded, "That's completely understandable. I have all the engineering reports for your repair teams ready to be turned over as well."

Lavil nodded then reached up and twirled his white mustachio between his right forefinger and thumb.

"Which repair bay should we head for?" Ahmed asked.

^ I've scheduled you for Repair Bay 2.^ the commander replied, ^ and I've blocked out a period of three months to conduct your repairs.^

~Three months.~ Ahmed thought that was a good estimate, although he wouldn't be surprised if it took longer.

"Sounds good. Are we clear to dock?"

^= You are captain Salid, and again welcome home.=^

The communication closed and was replaced by a much larger image of Geneva station.

"Mister Dralar, slow us to port speeds and bring us about for docking with Repair bay 2, Dock # 1"

"Aye captain." The Skorr Helmsman replied, then tapped out the commands on his console that would fulfill the orders that the captain had just given.

Ahmed turned to his First officer.

"Mister Caskie, Let's make arrangements for all personnel to take shore leave. Mister Raschen and Mister Sullivan are to be placed on Extended leave. Mister Janeway and Martinovich have received their transfer orders and are authorized to depart the ship as soon as we are securely docked. All other personnel are to be placed on Rotating leave."

(reply Caskie)

Ahmed looked back up at the main view screen. The Repair bay for Dock 1 loomed dead ahead, it's mechanical grappling fingers open as if waiting for the ship to slip into it's trap. Soon they'd be wrapped around the Rosenante and the repairs could begin.

First Officer's Log

Stardate 2408.01.22

It has been a very hectic and stressful last 24-hours since the Rosenante responded to the general distress beacon for the Federation Freighter "Sky of Tomorrow." We changed course from the Optima system to intercept the freighter in orbit around Davros III, a federation mining out post of formerly 1500 inhabitants.

When we arrived, we were unable to establish contact with either the freighter or the colony. An Away Team was sent aboard the freighter where they discovered several dismembered appendages, that for the moment we believe belong to the ship's crew. These limbs were ambulatory, animated by some sort of Borg nanoprobes derived nanites. The away team returned to the ship in a hurry and the vessel was quarantined.

Fearing the worst, an away team, led by myself, beamed down to the surface of Davros III where we found the colony a virtual ghost town. All indications were that the township had been abandoned. Trying to make some sense of what we were seeing we made our way to the residence of Doctor Amanda Lawson, who according to the records was a preeminent expert on Borg nanotechnology.

Suspecting that she had somehow caused some sort of infectious outbreak of Borg-like nanoprobes, we searched her residence to discover a secret laboratory which was missing several critical pieces of lab equipment. Also present were a pair of mine tunnels exiting the lab and moving into the mines used by the workers.

After summoning a second security team to search the second tunnel, we set off in search of survivors who may have taken refuge in the tunnels. After several hours without success, we encountered a new species embattled with the now-infected miners.

We lent aid to the individual and discovered that he knew much more about what was happening than we did. The traveler, Sharott Nachook was an Opthidian, and the nanites that had caused the infestation of the miners were self-aware although not classifiable as sentient. The nanites were derived from Borg nanoprobes for medical use; and while they had been used for a century or more on the Opthidian homeworld, they eventually began assimilating their hosts. At first the hosts were alive, but eventually the nanite colonies began to murder their hosts and occupy their corpses.

After we were attacked by a large group of infested miners, in which three members of the away team's security members were killed. We managed a desperate beam-up to the Rosenante.

Nachook carries within his body a viral cure that when deployed into the planet's Biosphere will actively kill all living things on the planet, which in turn will cause the destruction of the nanite colonies there.

This viral weapon will be extracted by Doctor Caskie and placed in a modified quantum torpedo housing for deployment. It is my opinion as well as the opinion of captain Rivers that these nanite pose a potential health threat to the entire quadrant and that we have no choice other than to sterilize the planet and place it under quarantine for at least the next 200 standard years.

As I record this message, my Engineering team, consisting of Lieutenant's Bird and Matrix are modifying the delivery system while Doctor Caskie and her staff are attempting to extract the viral agent carried by Mister Nachook.

Ensigns Ro'Dal and Raschen will be transferring the only nanite sample aboard the Rosenante back to the Sky of Tomorrow, so that it may be vaporized when we destroy the freighter to ensure the eradication of this threat.

It is also my belief that Mister Nachook will be able to return home once we have completed this stage of our mission. The tracker has indicated that there is at least one of his people's vessels nearby, although currently we have no indication that this is true.
