Captain [[Drawoh, Rocar|Rocar Drawoh]] summons the senior staff of the Starbase to the station's new support vessel, the [[USS Aegis]], a [[ma:Norway class|Norway class]] vessel, to be briefed on new orders from Starfleet Command. The crew were to act mediators between the [[Aerons]] and the [[Gargons]] of the planet [[Esogunot]], in peace negotiations to end the war between them that had lasted nearly a hundred years. When the briefing was concluded, a course was laid in for Esogunot while some of the crew prepared for the mountainous surface of the planet by practising their mountain climbing in the holodeck. | |||
On final approach to the planet, the Aegis was hailed by a Federation freighter - the FSS Unification - in orbit, claiming that they had been crippled while enroute to Starbase Seventeen. Unknown to the Starfleet crew, the crew of the freighter were actually arms dealers, selling weapons to both factions in the war. | On final approach to the planet, the Aegis was hailed by a Federation freighter - the FSS Unification - in orbit, claiming that they had been crippled while enroute to Starbase Seventeen.

After completing the mission to Esogonut, the crew aboard the [[USS Aegis]] headed back home; albeit at the vessel's top speed due to an emergency situation in the overcrowded sickbay. Once safely back to the Starbase, Captain [[Drawoh, Rocar|Rocar Drawoh]] announced a well-earned period of R and R. | |||
Lieutenant [[Falcon, Rho|Rho Falcon]], with the aid of [[Geeva Kalpana]] spent time in her quarters to regain her memories, using the backup files she had stored there. Later, they spent their time swimming and exploring the station's many café's. Captain Drawoh whiled away his time in his quarters, catching up with what he had missed during the mission to Esogunot. Lieutenant Commander [[T'Lea]] and Marine Lieutenant [[Adarnis, Dade|Dade Adarnis]] spent time on N’dallis Prime, first as slaves and then as treasure hunters. In so doing, T’Lea went through a significant change and returned to the station with a more Vulcan approach to life than before. | |||
Lieutenant Commander [[Stone, Cura|Cura Stone]] and her friends and family, on the other hand, were kidnapped by a Klingon named Kreggor. Stone was taken to [[ma: Qo'noS|Qo'noS]], while her family, Naomi and Mulan, were sold to the [[ma: Orion|Orion]] slave market. Against orders, Commander [[Perkins, Samuel Nigel|Sam Perkins]], Lieutenant Commander [[T'Lea]], Lieutenant Commander [[Harden, Julia|Julia Harden]], Lieutenant [[Fanel, Jacen|Jacen Fanel]] and Ensign Saja Ja’Kor took it upon themselves to launch a covert rescue mission. With the assistance of Doctor Harden, the group disguised themselves as Klingons and successfully rescued Stone and her family. Lieutenant Fanel sustained the only reported injury, as he took it upon himself to kill Kreggor. | |||

Upon return to the station, everything returned to normalcy - at least for a few days - until the return of the Betazoid criminal, Armeni. Wasting no time, Armeni attacked Lieutenant Commander Stone and attempted to assault Lieutenant Commander [[Zubowskivich, Tash|Tash Zubowskevich's]] daughter, Ella, only to discover that the girl was either unreadable or able to block telepathic intrusions. Aware of Armeni's intentions toward Ella, Stone alerted Zubowskivich and the pair, accompanied by T'Lea rushed to save her. They arrived to discover a terrified Ella and no sign of Armeni. | |||
Elsewhere, anti-telepathic sentiment began to rise on the station; one man preaching his opinions about telepathy on the Promenade and reports of graffiti and other vitriolic speeches erupting through the populated areas of the station. The situation took a dramatic turn for the worse when a bomb exploded in Mundok's bar, sparking outbursts of violence. The Medical Centre soon began to fill up with the injured, mostly Betazoids and Ullians. Doctor [[Krescha, Jarak|Jarak Krescha]] and a nurse are assaulted in his office; the doctor survived, the nurse was unfortunately killed. | |||
In Docking Bay Twelve, where Lieutenants Geeva and Falcon were conducting an investigation in the location of Armeni, a docked ship suddenly raised its shields. Forced to take matters into her own hands, Falcon pushed the ship out of the docking port and it exploded outside of the base, releasing a massive electro-magnetic pulse that would have crippled the station's electronics and power. | |||
To further ignite the situation aboard the Starbase, the Betazoid Embassy was bombed, causing several causalities and injuries. In response, Captain Rocar ordered all security and marine personnel to active duty and initiated a temporary curfew for the civilian population. The individual that attacked Doctor Krescha is apprehended in a turbolift by the Chief of Security and Lieutenant Geeva ingeniously ferrets out the location of Armeni, sending Lieutenant Falcon to apprehend her. | |||

''Circa Stardate 238504?'' | |||
With the curfew still in effect, the station enters a forced state of peace, with only marines and Starfleet personnel roaming the corridors. During this lull in the usual constant chaos, new situations presented themselves. | |||
Armeni was still at large and under her mental control, Lieutenant Commander Zubowskivich assaulted Lieutenant Commander T'Lea, nearly killing her. Able to stop himself at the last moment, he entered a near-catatonic state, losing approximately six hours of time from him memories and was later unable to account for his whereabouts. Using recorded footage from the station's security systems, Lieutenant Commander Stone was able to discern what had happened during those hours and armed with this information, ordered Zubowskivich off-duty, with instructions to see the station's counsellor, Lieutenant Sharee. With her assistance, he was directed to Lieutenant Hilzarie, who telepathically helped to to unblock the memories Armeni had tampered with. | |||
A shuttle containing three Academy graduates crash landed on a planet a short distance from the station. As one of the new Ensigns was the niece of the Academy Commandant, pressure to mount a rescue operation was swiftly applied to the staff of the Starbase. Lieutenant Commander Harden was placed in command of the operation, with Commander Perkins, Lieutenant Hilzarie, Lieutenant Geeva, Lieutenant Sharee, Lieutenant Falcon, Ensign [[Moon, Emma|Emma Moon]] and Ensign [[Wentworth, Jakob|Jakob Wentworth]] as support. | |||
The Executor, a ship from Lieutenant Fanel's homeworld arrived at the station, with the intention of taking him home. Fanel's Honour Guard were given a tour of the Starbase and subsequently, Fanel, Lieutenant Commander T'Lea, Marine Captain Adarnis, Gunnery Sargent Krtasia, Doctor Krescha and Ensign Saja Ja’Kor were provided with a tour of the Executor before it left for the Gaian system. | |||

The [[Deltan]] transport Niro docks with Starbase 118; experiencing engine troubles which their own engineer cannot solve, they request assistance from Starfleet engineers to fix the problem so that they can carry on with their journey. Fleet Captain [[Drawoh, Rocar| Rocar Drawoh]] and Lieutenant [[Sharee, Delinda|Delinda Sharee]] meet with the Captain of the Niro, a Deltan woman called Selyse, to discuss the situation. After an awkward conversation, with the Starfleet officers trying to fight off the effects of Deltan pheromones, Fleet Captain Drawoh decides to send his Chief Engineer (and helpfully, android - thus immune to Deltan pheromones) Lieutenant [[Falcon, Rho|Rho Falcon]] to investigate the engine problem. | The [[Deltan]] transport Niro docks with Starbase 118; experiencing engine troubles which their own engineer cannot solve, they request assistance from Starfleet engineers to fix the problem so that they can carry on with their journey.

Elsewhere on the station, the investigation into the illegal dumping and the attack on Lieutenant [[Geeva Kalpana]] continues. After a fruitless telepathic questioning session with Lieutenant [[Webb, Cyrus|Cyrus Webb]] Lieutenant Geeva is discharged from sickbay, equipped with a new supportive exoskeleton. | Elsewhere on the station, the investigation into the illegal dumping and the attack on Lieutenant [[Geeva Kalpana]] continues.

As the talent show comes to its conclusion, power suddenly begins to dip across the Starbase, prompting the Command Tower to issue a rare station-wide Yellow Alert. Communications | As the talent show comes to its conclusion, power suddenly begins to dip across the Starbase, prompting the Command Tower to issue a rare station-wide Yellow Alert. Communications, internal transport and the graviton stabilisers fail almost immediately as the power is drained from the station by an unknown source. With the graviton stabilisers offline, gravity on the station slowly begins to climb while the crew attempt to report to their duty stations. | ||
In response to losing communication with the Trojan class spacedock, Starfleet dispatches the nearby USS Hargraves, captained by Commander [[Brunsig, Walter|Walter Brunsig]], to investigate. | In response to losing communication with the Trojan class spacedock, Starfleet dispatches the nearby USS Hargraves, captained by Commander [[Brunsig, Walter|Walter Brunsig]], to investigate. | ||
