Captain's Personal Log: <Begin recording> Ship System Fraking reports backlogged to what, 2418?,
Fvadt...Computer delete that. <Signal chime confirming action taken as requested>
Carson sighed. "Cromwell-B Monthly report, begin recording. Backlog will be dealt with as time permits."
Report 2418.05, record today's Stardate for entry into system.
Cromwell has left New Kyushu having been refit from repairs made over West World (See prior reports,
forthcoming) Lt Muraj, despite his brusk nature, and managing to offend the DW holograms, has been named
as Chief Engineer of Crowmell-B, a sorely needed replacement. I am unsure if DFA Command has accepted a
transfer out of the New Kyushu (NK) shipyards to placate the NK forces or we have benefited from the
appointment. So far he has proved himself a highly qualified Engineer, and I think he will eventually work out
when he finds where he fits in the Cromwell crew.
New replacements also include Lt Commander Tora Sinjin. A highly decorated officer, and highly rated officer,
this is his first appointment on track for his own command. That is if he doesn't, or my crew doesn't sabotage it.
Cromwell has been re-designated as a marine fighting platform, a Warship. Sinjin is fully capable of working
within these restrictions and seems comfortable withthe formality required of Marines, but my crew is finding
being Marines is not easy, nor desired. I must admit, some trepidation myself since these are not the values
the DFA emphasizes, which is why I argued against Marines on the DFA Fleet fro the beginning, but again,
have been overruled by other authorities and desires. But, just as when the Nal'Gaharay were at their peak
strength, we responded with what needed to be done. Perhaps this is just our part; to be the focal point of the
DFA Marine mobile base, and allowing the remainder of the fleet to be the scientific and exploration arm of the
DFA Fleet.
Lt Commander Martis and Lt Jack West have become suspicious of Commander Sinjin from the begin, and
have carried out clandestine operations regarding such. So far they have verified that I, Command Sinjin and
Lt West are all human. <Pause> Carson wondered, did Jack also check Martis? Fvadt, now even he was
growing Paranoid. <Continue> Also, disturbing news, Colonel Lor Keishi is a wanted Starfleet War Criminal.
Lt. Tanith's contacts in Starfleet revealed this to her during Commander Martis' internment, but I have now
dispatched the pair, West and Martis, to return to New Kyushu on a covert ops to check it out. I gave them
leave to follow where the leads take them. I have not yet heard back. There is the possibility they are enjoying
the retreat too much, as there was some romantic spark between the two. Intially part of the cover, I am not so
sure it was not real now. I await their report.
~The captain did not know, that the police had been notified that a pair had entered the Green bamboo
Gardens, the bar where Jack had been poisoned, and have triggered a manhunt for Nal'G sympathizers on NK.
Nor that they had made contact with Akahana, Thorn Cromwell's former Squadron Wing COmmander, and
disrupting one of her humanitarian medical missions on New Kyushu. Nor that they had not followed up on
their contact supplied by the captain, but instead had gone to a freelancer compatriot of Jack's named Fletcher.
The pair had gone rogue...again...~
Commander MarQ has returned, some say from the future, the time differentials seem to verify they have been
gone longer than iin our frame of reference. We have verified the identity of Banor MarQ and his younger
brother Eldar MarQ. Commander MarQ was kidnapped, with the aid of brainwashing a member of my crew,
Lini Cer'dan. Dr Clark will have his hands full verifying Identities, and conditions of the MarQ brothers; one who
had the fog no longer seems to have it, and the one bent on euthanizing the one with it, now has it... Irony.
Dangerous Irony. Additionally, we will have to look at Lini's mental condition, and verify Stellar Winds took care
of the problem. They will not talk to me, only Dr Clark her physician.
Banor, with DW and Lt Muraj, is currently analyzing a virus that is infecting Intel Computers. It comes at an
unfortunate time in that Intel is actually very busy. DFA Command Intel intercepted a coded message that
West, Reynolds, Martis and Kit Taylor decoded. It led, too late for us to intervene, to a planet by the name of
Haedreon, the Forth planet which has several independent mining colonies. None are DFA Affiliated, but
neither are they under Starfleet or other major empire. Setlin has a vested interest given the lucrative transport
business and being relatively close to Setlin space. One Colony, Port Saiodh, has requested DFA Marines to
help guard the resources. More importantly, it gives the DFA Cover to investigate who has hijacked a freighter
of Borg technology and the scientists travelling with it, the contents of the decoded message. The coded
message suggests that it was at Hadreon IV the hijacking occurred and we have begun the search.
Colonel Reynolds and the 264th Orbital Drop Battalion have been dispatched. Colonel Reynolds has made
contact with a local diplomat named Katey Casey, who goes by the name KC. Rumor has it, she is a flirt, or at
least attracted to men in uniform. Raiders have attacked while the Marines were still getting settled at Camp
Stone, and old Colonial Stable for the local riding beasts on the outskirts of town. They were able to set up an
anti airship pulse phaser, chasing off the raiders, but not before Six of Twelve took a life threatening hit in the
shoulder.
Computer, delete life threatening, if Six of twelve gets access to this file, continue:
Quick work by Lt. Hemstum activating Medical care, Ensign Tas on the scene, And Dr Clark and Lt Muraj for
surgery, repaired Marine Weapon Six, Six of Twelve, who is fit for duty once again. Computer please note
commendations in their files for this action.
Lt. Hemstum and our newest science officer Ensign Kaden Rol, who was also transported into the
aforementioned combat site, are going undercover to try and find out more about the raiders, and who could be
interested in Borg Technology. They have met with a local named Bariss who seems to be replacing working
parts with soon to be malfunctioning parts, and reselling the removed parts back to the mining consortium. On
the other side of the investigation, Ensign Tas, Ensign Taylor, Six and Lt Norris of the DFA Marines are looking
into official interest in the borg tech, and being the face of the DFA for the town's protection. They have met
with the Governor Ash of Port Saiodh, who wished to have a bunch more borg like Six to work as workers. I
am looking forward to the reports, pending their completion. These events are still unfolding even as we speak.
I am expecting contact with Col Reynolds soon. He was sent to 'verify' something for Starfleet. Reports are
still sketchy, but it sounds like there was an attempted assassination in the spaceport of Justice, south of Port
Saiodh. Ambassador Sanchez, who I only was able to speak to briefly, may have been the target. I am
awaiting the report from the Colonel.
