After spending close to a week re-taking Starbase 118 from the Dominion, the crew learns that the Jem Hadar that took the station were not beamed aboard, but were bred within the bowels of the station. While looking into how such a security breach was possible, a Romulan Warbird makes a "routine" visit. Several more security breaches are reported. Soon, the person responsible is found -- Kalendra.

Reporter). The StarBase itself is heavily damaged, and the officers are
left scrambling to repair its systems. The discovery of thousands of small
explosives force Admiral Wolf and Captain Arvanon to evacuate the base and

While Starfleet tows the components of a new base to the area, Starfleet
Intelligence learns of a Maqui uprising. The Maqui are supposedly
gathering support as they head towards Utopia Planetia. The officers of SB
118 take the USS Xanth, a Defiant-class starship, to intercept.

The crew's investigations into Hamlet's death and into the disappearance of Aurora continue, and the crew continues to adjust to life on their new 18-mile high home. Many activities are taking place all over the station now, some involving some involving some less-than-virtuous characters, but whether or not they have any connection to the starbase's current problems has yet to be seen.

The mission the Admiral gave us worries me greatly. But it isn't because
of the Maqui. It is my belief that this will become a race. Not a race to
stop the Maqui before they do something major, but a race to stop them
''period.''
The Cardassians hate the Maqui, to put it nicely, which is why one of the
first Dominion tasks was to "cleanse" the Demilitarized Zone. However, if
word gets back to the Cardassians that a Maqui group still exists, we may
find a Dominion/Cardassian task force in the area soon thereafter. And
with the components for the new starbase still in tow, Starfleet--at least
temporarily--does not have the ability to deal with an attack in this
sector.
We must stop the Maqui before the Cardassians hear about this, or things
could get ugly.
'''Captain's Log, Stardate 237507.14.'''
Things have seemed to settle down, and our pursuit of the Maqui-controlled
vessel has been fruitless thus far. I am beginning to wonder if they really
did manage to sneak onto SB 118, or if they just decided to quite while
they were ahead. Time will tell.
In the meantime, I've ordered the Xanth back to SB 118 for minor repairs
and a crew-change. The starbase is fully assembled, and the crew is
working on making it fully operational. The new base is enormous...more
than 15 miles high, and the on-board population is expected to be
enormous, also.
On a note closer to home, I am a little concerned about my crew. As
Captain, it is not really my place to mingle with them, although sometimes
I think I should. But I have noticed a lack of relationships of a
more...personal nature. It is good to see that most of the officers are
able to work together, but I have to say I would like to see some
friendships develop, as well. Maybe time will grant me my request.

*Stardate 237507.18 - 237509.02
After Hamlet of Dane's death attempts are made on the lives of Lt. Commander Aquiss and Captain Arvanon.  One lead is in the sentient computer cube Aurora, but the crew have trouble deciphering the information held within. At Hamlet of Dane's funeral it comes out that he has a wife by the name of Lady Ophelia, a fact which makes his girlfriend extremely distraught.  Shortly afterwards the USS Xanth is hijacked and is retaken by actions from Lt. Commander Aquiss.  Unfortunately Ensign Barry White was blown to smithereens by a bomb before anyone could save him.
Hamlet's plot thickens as Lt. Tekra finds that Lady Ophelia intends to auction off all of his experimental technology to the highest bidder.  His logs also showed that he had been dodging assassins for over two years.  Ophelia contacts a group of people who are suspected of crimes by Starfleet intel - but no one can prove anything - all of them fabulously rich and to be bidders on the technology.  In the end Ophelia gathers all her buyers but Dr. Dane's robotic creations rebel rendering them all unconscious.  Starfleet security swoops in and arrests everyone.
Things get worse when poisonous lizards are released onto StarBase 118.  They kill two people and cannot be stopped by force fields.  The chaos deepens as they start heading for the command center.  Engineers find a nest of lizards and find they are resistant to phaser fire, so medical works overtime on finding an antidote to the poisonous bite.  Engineers lure them out with the lizards perfect atmosphere while medical creates an antidote.

Report Source: StarBase 118'''
The investigation into the death of Lieutenant, JG Hamlet of Dane and the
attempts on the lives of Lieutenant Commander Aquiss and Captain Arvanon
took an interesting twist last month when the base was overrun by a species
of lizard. These red, green, blue, and brown reptiles were about 2 feet
long and were immune to the effects of phaser fire. Things on the base
were further complicated by the fact that these lizards could evade sensors
and walk through force fields.
Things took another interesting turn when a random turbolift malfunction
kills the starbase's new Deck Officer, Han Sedona. The crew has no time to
grieve, however, as the lizards begin to multiply at a frightening rate. As
the total population on the starbase reaches 8000 lizards, Captain Arvanon,
Lieutenant Kal'tora, and Lieutenants JG Sharp, Fairaget, and Speed put
together a plan to trap the lizards with gravity well traps and knock them
out with anestisine gas.
'''Captain's Log, Stardate 237507.20'''
Things are starting to pick up, only for
the worst. After an attempt on my behalf to examine Hamlet's quarters on
the Xanth, I am almost trapped in his quarters, as well. I am not sure
where to re-start this investigation, but one of the remaining lose threads
is that box that my Engineers found. I don't know if know finding "Aurora"
will help, or even if it is still around, but I will find that out soon.
However, for the time being, I have ordered that the starbase be placed on
security alert.
Our officers' meeting will prove to be interesting, also. Hopefully, our
new Deck Officer will be on board by then, and I can introduce him to the
group. End log.

Captain's Log, Stardate 237507.31'''
I wish I could say that things have been normal, but that is not the case.
Aquiss has been forced to disable the Xanth. An annoying action, but one
that was necessary. At least we know the starbase's shields can repel
quantum torpedos, but that is a small consolation.
Hamlet's funeral wasn't even normal. I have to admit that the more I find
out about that man and the people that know him, the more confused I become.
The crew seems to be adjusting to a reality without Hamlet, but it is hard.
Even though he kept to himself, he really did involve himself with the
crew, but in ways I am only beginning to understand. Kal'tora seems to be
the hardest hit, but not anymore, for reasons which I will not detail here.
There hasn't been much from the Admiral lately, but several messages from
Elinor indicate that the changes I had envisioned for Starbase 118 and the
Xanth are becoming a reality, slowly but surely. But, I can't even worry
about that now....::

Hamlet of Dane reappears revealing that he faked his death in order to assist the arrests of wanted criminals and his ex-wife.
<br>'''Report Author: Captain Curtis Arvanon'''
<br>'''Report Source: StarBase 118'''
Things took an interesting twist a couple of weeks ago when a Dominion attempted to destroy the Starbase with a subspace rift. However, the Starbase was instead sent 400 years into the future. The crew suddenly found themselves in a bind on two fronts. They were without and XO, and they were caught in the middle of a Borg/Dominion war, with no Federation reinforcements in sight.
As Hamlet takes his ship and goes in search of the RSC headquarters, Arvanon, Savik, and Fairaget work to keep the heavily damaged Starbase in one piece. Rather undramatically, however, the rift engulfs the Starbase again, sending it back to the past.
Now, with the arrival of Lt Commander Treetus as the new XO and the marriage of Hamlet and Lt Kal'tora on hand, the Starbase crew is taking a well-deserved break.
'''Captain's Log, Stardate 237509.05'''
Things have calmed down for the moment. Well....and then, they haven't.
I've just sent my actiing XO, Savik, a message about the XANTH. It seems
that she will be staying with us after all, since the Admiral is taking the
Intrepid class MANTIS with him.
As for my crew, they have gone through a lot....too much, actually. With
two officers killed within the past month, and half of the "core" sent to
the colony with the Admiral, it is going to be tough for everyone to get to
know everyone else. However, I know it will happen, eventually.
