Initial away team reports show that not much has changed at the site of the Gateway, which itself remains inaccessible and presumed destroyed following a cave in. | Initial away team reports show that not much has changed at the site of the Gateway, which itself remains inaccessible and presumed destroyed following a cave in. | ||

Meanwhile, another team led by Lt. Commander Venroe and consisting of Lt. Commander DeVeau, Commander Dickens, and Dr. Blueheart took another shuttle to investigate the north end of the ruins. There, they have discovered a large artifact with inscriptions still intact. Lt. Commander DeVeau has requested it be brought back aboard for further study and the shuttle should be returning shortly. | Meanwhile, another team led by Lt. Commander Venroe and consisting of Lt.

With the Repository returned to the surface and out of range, the crew's memories and control of their bodies quickly returned, but I've ordered light-duty for all crew members as they reacclimatize themselves. There were a few injuries but no casualties during the apparent holy war we had found ourselves drawn into. | |||
While the scientists and archaeologists aboard are eager to return, I've ordered the site where the yacht landed on the surface off-limits for now. Based on both Commander Core and Saveron's experiences, it seems certain species or individuals with highly-disciplined mental control could study the artifact without succumbing to its effects. Proposals to create artificial hosts or enlist the aid of the Trill or other species with symbiotic relationships are certainly intriguing, but I await Commander Saveron's analysis before allowing any one from Invicta to go back down. We cannot afford another repeat of what happened. | |||

With Lohti now returned to the surface of Nygel II with her own holodeck, we've left the system to head onwards to the Darlenix cluster. It's still too early to say what the Federation Science Council ultimately will decide to do with the Repository--or Lohti herself for that matter--but they've at least assigned a research team to learn more from her. Perhaps Invicta will be permitted to revisit later on to check on their progress. | |||
Meanwhile, with the light duty restrictions during shore leave, repair times were nearly doubled, but engineering reports that all systems should be repaired by next week. I've called for the senior staff to assemble in the forward lounge for some long-overdue acknowledgements. I've asked for Commander Rahman of the Syracuse to assist me. | |||

After the incident with the Nygellian Repository, I wish to express my pride and appreciation of the Counseling Staff on the Invicta. Lieutenants Bryha Yva and Aramantha Payne and Mr. Scott Walker. There was a lot of trauma suffered by the crew from not only the general memory loss but the possession by the Nygellian Katras. | After the incident with the Nygellian Repository, I wish to express my pride and appreciation of the Counseling Staff on the Invicta.

It has also been expressed to me by more than one individual that there is something of a disconnect between members of the crew, most notably among the senior staff. Merging crews are not an easy matter and without unity, the ship’s ability to function could be compromised at a critical juncture. I am still observing to see where the disconnect is and how it can be alleviated. | It has also been expressed to me by more than one individual that there is something of a disconnect between members of the crew, most notably among the senior staff.

We've arrived at Adova and were greeted by Arc Nen Mur Diiv, the leader of the Adovan people. The senior staff had been briefed by Crewman Gupta regarding what little we know of Adovan history and culture, but the situation on Adova has turned out to be a bit more complicated than the initial reports suggested and the request for help a bit more extensive. | |||
As such, I've assigned three away teams to help on a particular aspect of the problem. The away teams are as follows: | |||
Team One is led by Invicta Expedition Commander Fleet Captain Aron Kells. He has selected | |||
*intelligence officer Lt. Cmdr. Rune Jolara, | |||
*helm/auxiliary security officer Ensign Ryan King, | |||
*historian & archaeological officer Lt. Cmdr. T'Lea, | |||
*and diplomatic officer Ensign Riverview as part of his team. | |||
They have beamed to the Adovan capital to meet directly with Arc Nen Mur Diiv and her chief of staff Ila Ker Raav. Their mission is to meet with the Adovan leadership and learn more about the history of these weapons, the conflict that surrounded their creation, and the conditions of the planet and populace today. | |||
Team Two is led by first officer Lt. Cmdr. Tristam Core. It consists of | |||
*chief medical officer Dr. Raj Blueheart, | |||
*Counselor Raissa Moonsong, | |||
*security officer and SAR Team Leader Commander Marcus Dickens, | |||
*and medical officer Ensign Rosalee | |||
They have beamed down to one of Adova's biomedical research centers to meet with the Adovan's chief scientist Gof Mirin and her colleague Kisax. Commander Core's team will work with the Adovan scientists on tackling several biomedical issues that have plagued the population since the introduction of these weapons three centuries ago. | |||
Team Three is led by operations officer Lt. Cmdr. Pandora. It consists of | |||
*chief of security Lieutenant JG Hanar Tuk, | |||
*chief science officer Lt. Cmdr. Alora DeVeau | |||
*chief engineer Lt. Cmdr. Luuna Walker | |||
*engineer Ensign Iris Macoy | |||
*and science officer Stiftany Harik | |||
They are meeting with Dergon Zerx, advisor to Arc Nen Mur Diiv, along with Nirxa Dinn, an Adovan scientist, at the decommissioned weapons command center to find the best way to dispose of the weapons safely. One of the most daunting challenges is finding a way to disable the heavily armed and shielded aerial and orbital drone units that were used to disperse the weapon. Though the drones lay dormant now, the Adovans have not found a way to approach the drone units to disable them without reactivating them. It seems they were deliberately designed to resist any attempts at shutting them down completely once they were activated as a fail-safe countermeasure. | |||
All three away teams have now beamed to the surface. Though this mission presents many challenges for the crew, I'm confident they are up for the task. | |||

With the reactivated drones from the surface destroyed, the immediate threat to the Adovans has been neutralized. The orbital drones that had been previously erased from Adovan records have also been deactivated thanks to the work of Lt. Commanders Pandora and Walker, and our engineers have since been able to successfully apply the same technique to disable the remaining stored drones. They've all now been destroyed except for one. Though the actual bioweapon itself has been removed, the shell of the drone has been preserved at the request of the Arc and is to be placed in a museum so that this dark page of their history is never forgotten. | |||
The members of the away team affected by the virus as well as their Adovan guides are recovering with an experimental treament devised by Doctors Blueheart and Rosalee. Whether this treatment can help the Adovans who have suffered the chronic consequences of these dreadful weapons remains to be seen, but early results show promise. | |||
We've apprehended a number of Vassily's associates who were involved with helping Biren's small faction attempt their coup, but Vassily himself is still out there. Upon further scans of the debris, we detected residual tachyon particles--evidence that he escaped in the explosion with his cloaking device. I doubt that's the last Starfleet will be seeing of him. | |||
Though peace has returned to Adova, it has not come without a cost as number of Adovans lost their lives in a settlement near the Arc's personal residence, the final victims of senseless hate thought vanquished years ago. | |||
Senseless even more so because we have discovered that there was never a distinct "deviant" gene that gave some Adovans telepathic abilities over others. All Adovans harbor the ability, and though some of their scientists and physicians had long suspected, it was not until one of the "awakened" had assumed the place of Arc that the truth came out. I'm not sure if I agree with how the Arc chose to enlighten her people--forcibly awakening the ability of others--but perhaps now with the truth laid bare, they can as a people begin their next chapter of reconciliation and atonement. | |||

As I had discussed with Commander Dickens and the being known as Kelrod who inhabits his body, I have insisted that Kelrod no longer remain a secret among his shipmates. Starfleet Command and Starfleet Intelligence have agreed with my stipulations for Kelrod and Commander Dickens to remain serving aboard the Invicta, and with the mission on Adova now concluded, holding a briefing with the crew to reveal Kelrod's presence is my first priority as we continue our journey back to Astrofori One. | |||

As I reflect on the past few days, I still have questions left unanswered about what Chatok had said about this ship’s place in history. All evidence points to him being mistaken. The Venture, under the command of Commodore De Luca--who has no relation to me nor my parents’ families on Earth--was operating on the other side of the quadrant at the time of this supposed incident. And as Chatok noted, there are no other records to back up what he claims. Kinan and the other Federation officials have advised to just nod politely and treat it all as an imaginative Klingon poet who enjoyed the chance to tell a tall tale in front of such a high-profile audience. | |||
Still, he met with me later that night, and what I felt from him was genuine and not just a legend or story he’d heard. He truly believed that this ship and my ancestor played such a fundamental role in history. Well, I suppose it’s at least something to ponder and perhaps some part of me wants to believe as well. | |||
