STATION LOG
The USS Peel has safely returned to the station and a full report is forth coming. With the closure of the anomaly our link to the past is now gone.

Log Concluded.

On

< Starbase M-69 >

With the return of the USS Peel reality returned to the station and to the commerce and businesses.

Waiting for their arrivals Sureth completed several communications and then focused on what Captain's O’Connell and Callaghan would report as well as Lt Commander Wallace observance.

David arrived in what he discovered to be an early fashion, He looked to the Commodore "Hello sir."

" Commander Wallace take a seat and you may begin giving me your verbal after action report." Sureth reacted.

David started to recount the events he partook in during the incursion, he paused to add in "The Athena is going too need some downtime for a reactor overhaul, we had a power disruption as things were playing out." he paused handing over the engieering report "I don't totally understand what happened, I'm not a physicist but if we're going to be on the frontline of this kind of chaos we can't always depend on the Athena especially with the systems overhauls she'll need."

" That is quite a problem Commander. You do know how far we are from a ship yard? The Athena was the closest decommissioned ship available. I will have Engineering do a level one diagnostic." Sureth replied.

David had thought about this "I'll put a request in with the mothball fleet coordinator see if we can get an upgrade, Both Antares and Axnar yards have stuff there undergoing caretaking at this time of year, no promises." he paused "We can do things to stretch the lifespan of the Athena but after the last few months it might be wise to look into more effective solutions."

" You are 2nd officer. I will trust your judgement Commander." Sureth added.

"Once I get a viable candidate list I'll make a personal visit to the proper shipyard." David said.

" That is acceptable. " Sureth nodded as he awaited the arrival of the others called.

Shauna arrived at Ops alongside Jamie, offering a warm smile and a respectful nod to both Sureth and Wallace. “Reporting as ordered Commodore.”

" Welcome back Number One. I was just getting Commander Wallace report. The Athena assisted with bringing the Peel home but it took its toll on the Athenas systems." Sureth replied .

O'Connell chimed in "Commodore arriving as ordered" he commented with a smile then turning to face Wallace " Commander if my Engineering Crew can assist your Engineers with the Athena please let me know."

David turned "Thanks Captain, unfortunately the Athena is a twenty-five year old design and I think it's time to look at a replacement, but for now I think any efforts too extend the ships lifespan for now are welcomed."

" That said I need a report Captain O'Connell? What did the Peel do and not do? Are we going to have repercussions? I do not feel any different and this station seems to be the same station. Even the original parts that have been implemented into our current design." Sureth questioned.

O'Connell now gave Sureth his full attention "Certainly Commodore. We were very careful not to interact with anyone in that timeline; which Captain Callaghan can verify. Between our advanced technology, and their technology of that time, the Peel was able to remain virtually undetected by them. The only thing we did do was to record everything that transpired in that period of time both visual and conversation wise" he explained then continued "So to address your concerns, I feel very confident that any repercussions, if any at all, would be trivial."

" Trivial? You will be interested to know then that Admiral James Elliott left a very intriguing subject note in his memoir, which I recently was made aware. Thanking the Vulcan ship that came to their rescue and the mysterious Commander Shauna Callaghan who received their call for help." Sureth replied.

Captain O'Connell swallowed hard feeling like he'd just stepped in a pile of crap with both feet "Begging your Commodore's pardon....a poor choice of words on my part....I wasn't aware any such note existed" he replied suddenly feeling somewhat out of place.

" Me either. It was found in the station archives. The original station command console is built into this station. Inside Admiral Elliott's lock box. Right under our noses as if we were meant to have had a role in that stations survival. " Sureth replied.

Pleased that Sureth hadn't taken issue with Jamie's poor choice of words moments ago he commented "I guess the cosmos has a sense of humor with lives being lived both past as well as present."

" Indeed. So looking forward a job well done by all. Captain's do you have anything to add to this issue?" Sureth inquired.

Thinking for a few moments "Nothing to add other than it was nice to have another perspective aboard to draw upon with Captain Callaghan" he replied as he gave Shauna a subtle wink.

Sureth paused as if he had seen this going another way in his minds eye.

" Gentlemen you are dismissed. Number One remain behind please for a moment." Sureth then added.

“Yes Sir” Shauna smiled as she moved aside for the others, giving Jamie a warm smile as she did so.

Captain O'Connell gave Sureth a professional nod as he turned smiling back at Shauna. Hopefully the Commodore wouldn't have an issue with their apparent attraction to one another. Jamie decided maybe he should return to his Ship presently; he could contact her later in the day. Tapping his Comm "Transporter Room, this is O'Connell, lock on to my signal....I'm ready to return" then Jamie disappeared in a stream of white light.

" Shauna I appreciate your assisting the Peel. While you were away a message came from The Assul. They wish to have a peace conference here on the station and asked if you will be in attendance. Their Warchief is ready to assume the throne as their first Patriarch." Sureth reported to his number one.

Shauna nodded. “I would be honoured Sir, anything I can do to assist in getting a peace treaty started.”

" They want you to help make their decision it would seem. You impressed them and they trust you. The ceremony is in two station weeks and it is being held here." Sureth replied.

Shauna nodded. “Then I have two weeks to prepare for my role it seems.” She offered a smile.

" Thank you Captain. I will be in operations if needed. It seems we intercepted a passing probe of sorts heading towards Messier 69. It could be coincidental but I have ops investigating it." Sureth replied.

David paused in thought "Probe?" he'd been preoccupied with work on the Athena to notice.

" Lt Salem and Lt Commander Croesus discovered the signal. Ironically the moment the Peel returned through the anomaly. Since the Athena is down I will have them take the Runabout Clinch to investigate. The markings on the probe were not recognisable and it appears to be bearing towards Messier 69." Sureth replied unaware that Wallace was still in the room as well.

David looked back, "The Athena is going to be down for a few days we got struck by something resulting in some system losses, we're making a full assessment of the damage, we could accelerate the work if you need sir."

" This appears to be a standard search issue. No rushes on repairs . We rushed to get Athena into service I want it fully functional but not at the point of of missing something." Sureth replied remembering it was Captain Deke Rivers that had over seen the Athena's refit.

"Will do sir." David said as he started to exit again.

Sureth turned his attention back to Captain Callaghan to resume their conversation.

" I will have Lt Salem contact the Assul home world and make the arrangements. The Warchief Loth is on his way and has requested Ambassador status to the Federation. I will certainly consider his overtures if it is in real peace. Do you trust him Shauna?" Sureth asked.

Shauna offered a shrug of her shoulders. "Possibly Sir, Loth is looking out for the best interests of his people, but how far he'd be willing to go is another matter."

" I hope for peace with the Assul and with the Hadah peoples. Perhaps crowning an emperor of their Empire will accomplish that. I have taken enough of your time Number One. Thank you for all you do here." Sureth replied.



Summoned to Ops Sureth exited his office as well as Lt Kah’lyn Chiara-Rivers called for his attention.
