Mission 68:
"Summertime Blues"
Started: 06/19/2005
Finished: 08/20/2005 |
After two months, the Aquarius crew has settled into a new routine. Aboard the ship, a major breakthrough in the battle to repair the ship is achieved when partial power is restored to the Main Bridge.
On the planet, the first permanent building -- Crew Housing Building One -- is christened as a major achievement for the crew.
However, not far from the colony, danger is lurking, unbeknownst to all...
UPDATE: Stardate: 59020.4 (July 09, 2005). The Aquarius crew faces one of its most simple, yet massive challenges yet. A massive hurricane is heading for the colony, and the race is on to finish the second housing unit to shelter and protect the crew! Meanwhile, aboard the Aquarius, work is underway to attempt to divert or otherwise disrupt the hurricane, with no luck so far.

Mission 67:
"Admiral Farrel`s Island"
Started: 05/18/2005
Finished: 06/19/2005 |
The USS Aquarius had responded to a distress call from an alien vessel trapped in a temporal distortion. While effecting a rescue attempt, both vessels were sucked into the distortion. The Aquarius was severely damaged, and what little scans could be conducted showed the ship trapped more than 50,000 years in the past. With the ship failing and no longer able to sustain its crew, Admiral Farrel gave the order to abandon ship and settle on a nearby planet with the hopes of repairing the Aquarius. The crew is now preparing to abandon the ship and are facing the prospect of living the rest of their lives on this planet in the past... |
Mission 66:
"A Three Hour Tour"
Started: 03/15/2005
Finished: 06/6/2005 |
Two days after the events in "100 A.B", the USS Aquarius was trying to get back to normal...as normal as the Aquarius could be, at least. After a memorial for Lieutenant Mackenzie and receiving new crew transfers, the Aquarius set out once again on her deep-space exploration mission.
On Stardate 58772.4, the Aquarius received a distress call from an alien ship trapped in a subspace distortion. Heading to the rescue, however, turned to disaster as the USS Aquarius got caught in the disruption itself and pulled in. Now, the Aquarius is crippled. The crew is racing against time to assess the damage on the ship in order to figure out what to do next...
|
Mission 65:
"100 A.B."
Started: 10/25/2004
Finished: 03/15/2005 |
After three days of repairs, the USS Aquarius is heading for the edge of Federation space to begin the deep-space scientific exploration mission. While en route, the crew is adjusting to various crew changes, promotions, and the memorial service for Lieutenant Commander Selrach.
UPDATE: Stardate 58493.9 (Dec. 28, 2004): The USS Aquarius has completed the memorial service for Lieutenant Commander Selrach, and has celebrated a wedding for CWO2 Shawna Jameson. Now, we are exploring System 17299, and have found a planet in the system that contains life. However, it has been decimated by nuclear war. The Aquarius is preparing to send an away team to the planet to further investigate what happened for the record books.
UPDATE: Stardate 58570.8 (Jan. 26, 2005): The USS Aquarius has sent an away team to discover what happened to the inhabitants of 17299-IV. However, in the meantime, the Aquarius has begun to experience malfunctions. Starting small with viewscreens and replicators, and escalating to a plasma breach (killing six people), the Aquarius is in more and more danger. The Senior Staff is now discussing the seriousness of the situation, and their options before anyone else is injured or killed.
FINAL UPDATE: The Aquarius underwent increasingly severe malfunctions until the computer was operated on by Lieutenant Bishop, after which the malfunctions ceased. Meanwhile, the Away Team was captured by one of the two ruling parties on the surface. Admiral Farrel had to agree to give them weapons. The weapons Farrel gave them were inoperative and contained an explosive, destroying them all. The away team was rescued and the Aquarius departed 17299-IV
|
Mission 64:
"Haunted Memories"
Started: 07/19/2004
Finished: 10/27/2004 |
The USS Aquarius has been sent on a deep-space scientific exploration mission. However, on the way, she has been sent to the Kalandra system, site of a major battle during the Dominion War. The Aquarius has been sent to recover an experimental shield generator from a ship in the battle site graveyard. This is leading the Aquarius crew to grip with several moral questions as they try to decide whether or not the battle ground/graveyard is sacred, and whether it should be violated or not. UPDATE -- Stardate 58164.1 (Aug. 30, 2004): Admiral Farrel temporarily fell into a coma with causes unknown (though some are blaming ghosts from the ship graveyard) as the Aquarius nears the Kalandra System. Away teams are being prepared to go to the USS Augusta to recover the shield generator, and be as minimally invasive as possible. Still, feelings are running high on the ship as the crew wrestles with the morality of their situation.
UPDATE -- Stardate 58192.5 (Sept. 09, 2004): Admiral Farrel has recovered as quickly as he fell ill, and so far is showing no side effects. The Aquarius has arrived at the Kalandra System and has launched three shuttles: The Ferdinand Magellan and the Christopher Columbus to go to the Augusta to retrieve the shield generator, and the Buzz Aldrin to go to four different starships and retrieve their medical databases in hopes to find some Starfleet crewmem listed as MIA.
The Christopher Columbus and Aquarius both are undergoing strange power outages, with all energy sources going dead on the Aquarius. With life support and environmental controls offline, it is a race against time as the USS Aquarius risks becoming another casualty to the Kalandra System.
UPDATE: The mission took a turn for the worse when an EPS conduit on the USS Augusta ruptured, killing Lieutenant Commander Selrach. Meanwhile, the situation got dire aboard the Aquarius before the duonetic field that was inhibiting power was destroyed by the team on the Christoper Columbus. Now, the Aquarius must make repairs and face the pain of losing Selrach.

Mission 63:
"Medieval Deceit"
Started: 06/1/2004
Finished: 07/19/2004 |
The Aquarius, along with other ships of Task Force 21, is dispatched to Starbase 21 to help retrieve the stolen USS Lancelot. The Lancelot was stolen by a Klingon/Cardassian alliance of unknown origins. Several members of Starbase 21`s crew have been taken hostage aboard the Lancelot as well. On top of that several devices have been found on the Aquarius, which seem to be the result of sabotage. After an extensive search and a long battle with the Cardassians and Klingons, the Lancelot was safely recovered, along with the hostages. Although advised not to use the systems on the Aquarius due to the possible sabotage, Vice-Admiral Farrel decided to use them anyway, turning the tide in the battle. After a debriefing, and repairs, the USS Aquarius has been sent on her way. |
Mission 62:
"Changing Weather"
Started: 04/22/2004
Finished: 06/23/2004 |
An accident during shore leave on Omicron Delta brings about many changes for the Aquarius and her crew. |
Mission 61:
"Return to the Pleasure Planet"
Started: 04/18/2004
Finished: 04/22/2004 |
After refits at Starbase 243, the USS Aquarius was diverted to Planet Omicron Delta for shore leave. |
Mission 60:
"Temporal Tamperings"
Started: 09/24/2003
Finished: 04/18/2004 |
Stardate 57230.8: Two months after the mission to Surala, the Aquarius has been selected to be the test-bed for a new type of warp engine based on quantum-slipstream technology, originally brought back from the Delta Quadrant by the USS Voyager. The crew of the Aquarius is continuing to adjust to the changes in the crew after the death of Lt. Cmdr. Churchill, and the medical reassignment of Lt. Cmdr. Selrach. UPDATE: Stardate 57373.7. The test of the quantum slipstream drive has gone awry! The Aquarius, while trying to come out of the slipstream, has wound up with major damage. While trying to repair the damage, the Aquarius was ambushed by a Jem'Hadar fighter. After ejecting and destroying the warp core, the Jem'Hadar ship was destroyed, and the Aquarius was rescued by the USS Jolesch. However, several questions remain -- why was there a Jem'Hadar ship deep in the Alpha Quadrant and why did it attack the Aquarius? UPDATE: Stardate 57518.2. The USS Aquarius has found that she is in an alternate timeline. In this timeline, the Dominion managed to destroy a huge Federation/Klingon/Romulan fleet including Starbase Deep Space Nine (See DS9 5th season episodes "By Infero's Light" and "In Purgatory's Shadow") This led to the Romulans sealing their borders and a quick defeat of the Klingon Empire. The alternate Federation and the Dominion have been engaged in deep warfare for over five years with most of the Federation having fallen to Dominion Control. Now, they are making the final push into the very core of the Federation. The Aquarius is caught in the middle, not wanting to violate the Temporal Prime Directive by fighting, but also not wanting to be destroyed by the oncoming Dominion Fleet who only knows that the Aquarius is another Federation ship standing in the way of their final conquest of the Alpha Quadrant. This has led to hard choices for the Aquarius which, without their warp core, is very likely to be destroyed. The idea of using biowarfare by releasing a virus which will cause extreme pain and suffering for 72 hours to anyone not inoculated has been proposed, and the Aquarius crew is currently debating the legal, moral, ethcial, and personal ramifications of this option, which may be the only thing to save their lives. |
Mission 59:
"Warning: Contents Under Pressure"
Started: 08/16/2003
Finished: 09/24/2003 |
After escaping the Breen, the Aquarius has undergone eight weeks of refitting at Obsidian Command to bring her up to Mk-II specifications. For everything that happened on the Breen mission, Admiral Benjamin Farrel has been demoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral. Now, the ship and crew try to adjust to the changes in the ship...and in themselves... as they head for a new mission: First Contact with the people of Surala IV near the Klingon Border. UPDATE: Stardate 57014.2. The Aquarius has received a distress call from the Federation Starship USS Okkaido and has responded. The Okkaido has been severely damaged due to unknown reasons, and a Federation cruise ship, MS Majesty, has a Captain who is not what he appears to be. UPDATE: After dealing with the Okkaido/Majesty incident, the Aquarius set sail again for Surala. Upon arrival, an away team was sent down. The Aquarius was ambushed by Klingons, making for an emergency rescue of the away team. Unforunately, there were several casualties, including Lieutenant Commander Winston Churchill. |
Mission 58:
"Anywhere But Here"
Started: 08/16/2003
Finished: 08/16/2003 |
One of the four teams, led by Admiral Benjamin Farrel, was able to perform a daring capture of a Vorta and recovery of the Aquarius-B. After transporting the crew up from the surface, the Aquarius-A was destroyed so that the Aquarius-B could escape. After escaping, the ship faced down a battle with 2 Breen warships and 3 Jem'Hadar vessels... * Mission III of the "Conspiracies" Story Arc. |
Mission 57:
"The People v. Benjamin Farrel"
Started: 08/16/2003
Finished: 08/16/2003 |
Upon entering orbit of Hanali VIII, the USS Aquarius-B discovered the USS Aquarius-A, a vessel long since thought destroyed. Admiral Farrel orders a skeleton crew to the Aquarius-A in hopes of taking it back to Starfleet for analyzing. With a skeleton crew of 105 aboard the Aquarius-A, the power on the Aquarius-B inexplicably went down, and the ship was ambushed by two cloaked Breen vessels. The crew was then captured by an old enemy, Borik (See Mission 49). Borik also took both charge of both Aquarius vessels. The crew was tortured and placed in very harsh conditions, charged with espionage on the Breen People. These charges were, of course, all fabricated. Lieutenant Commander Churchill was able to get a distress call out, which got Starfleet to dispatch the USS Sun Tzu and the USS Lewis and Clark to investigate. The Breen, attempting to stop this, made up a story that the Aquarius had invaded their territory and attacked a civilian base. The Sun Tzu, under the command of a former crewmember, Captain Bren Archer, was ambushed by a Breen warship. Meanwhile, back in the Breen prison, the crew was separated, with about 20 people remaining in the main prison, and the rest of the crew sent off to another facility. The 20 crew staged a daring escape and took to the forest, where they split up into teams... * Mission II of the "Conspiracies" Story Arc. |
Mission 56:
"Aquarius Squared"
Started: 08/12/2003
Finished: 08/16/2003 |
The investigation on Risa is being cut short, however, as the Aquarius has been assigned to a remote part of the Federation to conduct 'scientific research' in 4 uncharted star systems, near Breen space. It seems quite strange that these orders came immediately after the suspicion that Borik is around. However, we are currently en route to the Hanali System to begin our exploration. Hopefully, it's just a coincidence... UPDATE: Stardate 56794.3. The Aquarius is still en route to the Hanali System. Lieutenant James Lewis has come up with a plan to use the auxiliary craft as manned probes upon our arrival so that we have scouts out to inform us of anything that may lie ahead. Lieutenant Selrach has conducted a tactical drill which has exposed a few of our weaknesses. UPDATE: Stardate 56816.7. The USS Aquarius has surveyed Hanali I, as per our orders. While surveying Hanali II, we received word from our auxiliary craft that contact had been lost with the Type 9 Shuttlecraft Orville Wright. The USS Serenity, our Delta Flyer Class runabout was dispatched to find out what happened. After review of the information in the shuttle, they have found that the pilot has disappeared, and that it happened while the craft was on approach to Hanali VIII. The Aquarius is moving to Hanali VIII now to find out what has happened. * Mission I of the "Conspiracies" Story Arc. |
Mission 55:
"Risian Escapades"
Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/12/2003 |
After finally recovering the Aquarius and escaping Savari II, the ship put into Risa for a nice, quite vacation. Most members of the crew are on the planet enjoying their various respites, but some are choosing to spend their time aboard ship. It was very relaxing for everyone until an explosion in Lieutenant Selrach's hotel room caused concerns of Borik's return. |
Mission 54:
"Sweet Revenge"
Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/10/2003 |
Before we could figure out the secret of the nebula, everything returned to normal and it disappeared. However, we all remember what happened during the time in the nebula, even though it never actually happened at that point in our lives. It's very confusing. However, there is no time to dwell on this. We have received word that our old nemesis, Herran Bopka (see Missions 33, 34, 35, 44) is planning something big. We have been dispatched to put a stop to him...once and for all. The Aquarius finally caught up with Bopka on the USS Excelsior. After a wild goose chase, he has finally been caught and taken to prision. |
Mission 53:
"Days Gone By"
Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/10/2003 |
After being docked at Obsidian Command for 5 weeks for repairs, the USS Aquarius is finally back on her own again. The ship has been dispatched to the Oxford system to investigate what appears to be a new nebula. Meanwhile, the new members of the crew begin to get used to each other under real conditions, while getting the ship in tip-top shape with the newly repaired systems. Simultaneously, wedding bells are ringing for two of the junior officers of the crew. An exciting time indeed for the USS Aquarius! UPDATE -- STARDATE 56305: Lieutenant Fordice was killed in an accident in Sickbay. As a result, Ensign Iran has left the Aquarius as she heads for the Oxford Nebula. UPDATE -- STARDATE 56345.5: The Aquarius has arrived at the Oxford Nebula and has been...ingested by the nebula. Now, the crew has changed -- people are are from different times -- children are running around unattended, and chaos is ensuing. We are attempting to figure out what's going on... |
Mission 52:
"The Arms Race - Part I"
Started: 08/10/2003

"...Getting Out of Trouble is Not"
Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/10/2003 |
Admiral's Log: Stardate 56055.8. The mission has gone horribly awry as the Aquarius has gotten attacked by a Breen Warship. The ECD failed, taking out many systems, and the Breen took out several of the rest of them. We have been forced to abandon the Covert Operations team as we limp to a nebula to evade the Breen warship. Our goal now is to get home in one piece. UPDATE: The Aquarius has, after several runins with the Breen, managed to get back into Federation space. * Mission IV of the "Deadly Intentions" Story Arc. |
Mission 50:
"Getting Into Trouble is Easy..."
Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/10/2003 |
Admiral's Log: Stardate 55975.7. The Aquarius has delivered the Klingon ship that the Serenity team recovered to Obsidian Command, as well as transporting off all non-essential personnel. The clues given by the Ulitans, as well as the information uncovered by each of the two shuttle teams has pointed to possible Breen involvement with the Followers' plan to change Earth's History (See Mission 48). The Aquarius has been ordered to Breen space to investigate this possibility. The Enhanced Cloaking Device designed by Lieutenant Commander Tu'sach and Lieutenant JG Selrach is being outfitted for the Aquarius for special use in this mission. UPDATE: The Aquarius has entered Breen space to deposit the Covert Ops team on Sidartin Prime. Once their mission is over, the Aquarius is to proceed with finding out information about the Followers. * Mission III of the "Deadly Intentions" Story Arc. |
Mission 49:
"Echoes of the Past"
Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/10/2003 |
Admiral's Log: Stardate 55850.8. The three away teams have returned, and I've come back to a bloody mess on the ship. I've lost 3 department heads and my Computer Specialist. Two of them died of the epidemic flu on the ship, which thankfully Doctor Vox has developed a cure for. The other, Lieutenant Melbourne, the Chief Engineer died on the away team. If that wasn't enough, my Fighter Pilot CO is severely injured in sickbay. On top of it all, Captain Nakira Churchill, my close friend and Executive Officer never returned from her mission. The portals are ready to be destroyed, and there's no sign of her. The Klingon ship that we found is about to leave, and I've got to make the decision to leave her. I've got a subspace message into Starfleet Command to see what we need to do regarding Captain Churchill. I fear the worst... Update: Stardate 55890. Captain Churchill was declared dead by Starfleet. Commander Churchill raised a fuss about wanting to find her, however, I couldn't let him do it. We had to find the Klingons. After her funeral, he was paid a visit by Ambassador Spock, and then requested a leave from the Aquarius to do mediation on the Barzan / Mizarian negotiations. I let him go, and unfortunately, his runabout was destroyed when he attempted a risky maneuver. Starfleet has dispatched Commander Tom Conrad to be the new Aquarius Executive Officer. Update: Stardate 55933. The Aquarius continues the hunt for the Klingon vessel and has sent out two shuttle teams. The Aquaman team commanded by Staff Sergeant Domais O'Brien is checking the planet Wellington II while the Serenity team commanded by Lieutenant Junior Grade Kron is looking into Ibert IV. The Aquarius is following up on leads at Ulita III. Myself and 5 aides have been invited to dinner on Ulita III by Minister Vorlin Tan'ii, leader of the Council of Elders on Ulita. We'll be discussing the Klingon ship, and I hope that they have information on their whereabouts so we can track them down soon. Update: Stardate 55975.4. The Aquarius has had some major successes. First of all, Captain Churchill and Lieutenant Commander Churchill (demoted by the Starfleet Board of Inquiry) were recovered successfully and have rejoined the Aquarius Crew. Both shuttle missions were successes, as was the mission to Ulita III. However the information they have recovered is disturbing at best... * Mission II of the "Deadly Intentions" Story Arc. |
Mission 48:
"Return to Brandaria"
Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/10/2003 |
On Stardate 53815.7 (April 2000), the USS Aquarius-* (the original Aqua), and the aforementioned USS Hood went on a joint mission to Brandaria to solve a conflict between the Brandarians and the Cantarians. It was found that the Cantarians were actually Brandarians from the future who were trying to shape events for the Brandarians of the present. It was found an Iconian Gateway was used in the whole mess, which was eventually destroyed. The Brandarians applied for admission to the Federation immediately thereafter. The Aquarius is sent to meet with the Brandarian council to work out some last-minute details and to sign the joining papers. Update: Stardate 55800.3. Update by: Admiral Benjamin Farrel. After meeting with the Brandarians, we discovered something was awry. Upon further investigation, Lieutenant James Melbourne, Chief Engineering Officer, discovered 3 strange energy signatures on Brandaria. Using the shipboard sensors on the Aquarius, it was determined that these were 3 active Iconian Gateways. One was going to Earth of 1863 (the American Civil War), another to Earth of 1992 (start of the Eugenics Wars), and another to Earth of 2151 (launch of Enterprise NX-01). I have reasoned that either the Brandarians or an outside force are using these gateways to go back to Earth's past and change the fate of the Federation. I have set up three away teams of four heading to each of these periods to figure out what is going on and how to set events right again. * Mission I of the "Deadly Intentions" Story Arc. |

"The Trickle of Corruption"
Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/10/2003 |
The Aquarius, after patching things up with the Romulans, heads to Starbase 324 for repairs and crew replacements. Admiral Farrel receives a visit from Lieutenant Commander Alexander Chang attaché to Admiral Necheyev, the habitual thorn in the Aqua crew's side. Chang informed Farrel of Necheyev's breeding of Jem'Hadar soldiers, loyal to her, to overtake the Federation. Now, Farrel has to take the Aqua rogue to uncover the truth. While on the way, the ship is attacked by clones put in place by Necheyev and also by the Jem'Hadar. Fortunately, the Klingons were in the neighborhood and with the Aquarius nearly destroyed, rooted out Necheyev's cronies. However, Admiral Necheyev escaped their clutches and of course, talked her way out of any responsibility for the whole thing. |

"Reunions: Courtesy of Evil"
Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/10/2003 |
The Aquarius crew, still feeling strange after the destruction of the Patriot, undergoes massive change. Several senior officers transfer off, and several others transfer on. Before they can figure out what happened, the Aquarius received a distress call from the USS Journey, Commander D'Errico's ship. The Aquarius arrived to find an incredibly battered Journey. An away team, lead by Admiral Farrel, transported to the Journey. Admiral Necheyev ordered the Aquarius out of the system due to the Council of Freedom perhaps being involved in the Journey's fate. However, Admiral Farrel's team had already gone, and several systems mysteriously went offline. A shuttle and fighter group went to the rescue, however they were the victims of a sneak attack. The Bridge was ordered evacuated due to an EPS overload, however, that turned out to be false, and Major Bopka, CoF leader commandeered the Bridge. He ordered Farrel brought back to the Aquarius to help assist in his evil plan, as the hijacked Aquarius launched an attack on Deep Space Nine. This occurred, and Farrel ordered a self-destruct in order for the CoF to be destroyed, and Bopka to be killed once and for all, however, he escaped the clutches of Farrel's once again.

The U.S.S. Aquarius, under the command of Admiral Benjamin Farrel has been reassigned to Obsidian Fleet. While en route, she was diverted to find the missing U.S.S. Patriot. The Aquarius found the Patriot in a temporal anomaly. While trying to determine a course of action, the Aquarius was pulled into the anomaly and emerged on the other side in an alternate timeline. The Aqua was substantially damaged, and several casualties were reported. However, this was not the end of the problems of the Aquarius. In fact, it is only the start. The Aquarius-B, a ship from the timeline the Aquarius was deposited into, showed up. It's Commanding Officer, Captain James Hansen offered to help the Aquarius. Well, he turned out to be a liar, kidnapping the away team sent to the Aquarius-B and sending a saboteur to the Aquarius-A. The crew has a death warrant, a missing command staff, a wrong timeline, and more damage to the ship than they know what to do with to handle. Eventually, most of the crew escapes, and some of the saboteur's damage is undone. However, this is only the beginning of the problems... * Mission I of the "Temporal Fugitives" Story Arc. |

Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/10/2003 |
Things weren't ready at all aboard the new Aquarius, but it had to be rushed into service to get revenge on the Council of Freedom. The ship was to be finished en route... but that never happened. Problems with the new warp core caused people to go into a murderous rage and several people were killed. Unexplainable murders went on for a while as the crew searched for the answer. Eventually, the warp core had to be destroyed and a new one replicated to stop the problem. |

Mission 35:
"Descent into the Inferno"
Started: 08/10/2003
Finished: 08/10/2003 |
The meeting with Major Bopka was a very bad idea on the part of Vice-Admiral Farrel. The Aqua's shields were down, damaged in the attack, along with the warp core, which had to be jettisoned, and Engineering, which had a gaping hole in it. The Bajorans used this time to their advantage. While Vice-Admiral Farrel, Captain Collins, and Lieutenant Commander Nakira met with Major Bopka, the Bajorans boarded the ship, and took over the Bridge. The crew on the Bridge were able to escape, and make it to Engineering. After 3 waves of Bajoran battles, they were able to keep Engineering.. until they were all beamed to the Brig. They are currently held there, awaiting the Aqua's arrival at Bajor, which it never does. The Aqua crew escapes, and the ineptitude of Bopka's forces starts a warp core breach. The crew barely makes it out in time and the beloved Aquarius is destroyed. * Mission V / Final Mission of the "The Ending" Story Arc. This was the final mission of the USS Aquarius -- NCC-77002 |

There were 6 smaller ships, as well as many other larger ships on the way to intercept the Aquarius. The Aqua tried to escape, but was unsuccessful. They and the Bajorans got engaged in a battle. The Bajorans had technology that cut right through the Aqua shields, causing major damage. They were able to escape, and turn the Bajoran weapon back on them. They agreed to meet with Major Bopka, the Bajoran Leader to resolve the conflict... * Mission IV of the "The Ending" Story Arc. |

At first, things looked grim, but a message was sent to Doc Holland... seemingly by Vice-Admiral Farrel!! However, the message was found not to have come from Farrel, and the search was on for the killer. We found someone, seemingly from another time, dead in our engine room. Major Xavier discovered and killed someone as they tried to kill him. Then, another person tried to kill Doc Holland. With the first one, a Bajoran emblem had been found.... Little did we know what profound impact this would have. The Bajorans tried to kill several other crew members, but were exposed. Before we could capture them, they beamed off into 2 waiting ships, disabled us, and warped out. * Mission III of the "The Ending" Story Arc. |

"Shift in Time"
Started: 08/10/2003

The Aquarius finds the Maquis ship. It is just about to engage them when a strange temporal disturbance envelops the ship. It is thrown 23 years into the future, where it encounters the U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-F, under the command of Captain Timothy O'Connell. The removal of the Aqua from its timeline totally changed the future, and in the new future, the Dominion and Klingons were in an alliance, and the Federation was no more. The Aqua finally found a way to get home before they got attacked, and returned to the moment they left. They then destroyed the Maquis ship, thus preserving the timeline, even though they had no memories of what had happened... * Mission II of the "The Ending" Story Arc. |
