SB118Ops Mission Logs/William Rogers

Elementally My Dear Rogers

Mission Introduction

Mission Began: 239010.15 Mission Complete: Current Mission Mission Proposed By: Mission Outline: Before the Drake crew have even settled into their roles as the new crew of Starbase 118 Ops, a chilling new development threatens the base and leaves the lives of everyone on board and within the vicinity hanging by a thread. It begins with a delicate plumbing problem and leads into what seem to be simple temperature fluctuations, leaving some areas with sweltering heat and nearly smiling Vulcans while frigid temps in other sections of the base send Captain Rogers, Acting First Officer LCMD Atimen, and the rest of the crew scampering to replicate hot drinks and don winter parkas.

Mission Updates

239010.15 - Lieutenant Richards and his Science team in Stellar Cartography reveals the difficulties are caused by four ion storms, one from each quadrant of the universe. They are traveling at warp speed and heading straight for the starbase, targeting four fusion reactors. The storms also affect warp fields, preventing area ships from escaping. With energy from the storms already hitting the base and little more than an hour in which to prepare themselves, the base is set to yellow alert and emergency preparations begin. 239010.30 - Destruction escalates on the station with gale force winds and an earthquake that rips apart the promenade. Residents are evacuated to the interior of the base while the crew puts a plan in motion to rotate the base to absorb the storms’ force via maximum utilization of internal and external shielding. As the crew waits for word from ships closer to the storm front, the wary officers brace for impact. All the ships in vicinity are ordered to return to Starbase, though some chose to try and run away causing trouble. 239011.06 - As the ion storms hit smashing through the shields it becomes increasing clear that each storm has an elemental nature; Fire, Earth, Wind and Water. Each elemental has been summoned to the station by an ancient artifact to choose an Avatar and fight an important battle and SB118 is to be their battle ground. Commander Danzia the bases Counselor, has the artifact in her possession although she is currently unaware of that fact. 239011.15 - The four elementals have chosen avatars to be their champions and are slowly converging on each other for a fight to the finish. Lt Sinda Essen is apparently incinerated by a pillar of fire in front of the senior staff. However she is unbeknownst to the crew transformed into an Avatar for the fire elemental. Next, Marine officer Tarallo got possessed by Shale and was turned to Avatar of Earth elemental. Emerging in the morgue was Chan, Air elemental possessing a body of dead Bajoran girl. Last emerging from the water storage facility in The Dungeon, possessing the body of Douglas Hardy. Meanwhile the crew are trying to divert them away from the civilian population and discover a way to cast them off the star base. 239011.30 - Crew encountered the Avatars and while finding some very unfriendly and completely unwilling to communicate in any way, some showed ready to cooperate. None revealed their purpose on the station or what they are seeking, but Commander Danzia encountering Cinder realized that the amulet she possess pose the significance to the elementals. 239012.15 - Battle between Chan, the Air Elemental and Brine, Champion of Water held in Docking Bay, brought the first winner among elementals and to the relief of Starbase crew caused minimal damage to the station.
