With Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]] off the ship on an engineering mission, Lieutenant Commander [[Mei'konda]] had assumed command as acting Captain, and for some time, the Veritas' patrol through the Shoals was uneventful - until the reception of a distress call from the [[USS Astraeus]], a Galaxy class starship under the leadership of Commander Victor Yeager. Commander Yeager intended to prove his command ability by bringing the Astraeus, a ship much too massive for the Shoals' travel restrictions, through this dangerous space to demonstrate that it could be done. However, it soon became apparent that the vessel's warp field would not hold up under the strong tetryon radiation of the region, and she soon lost the ability to travel at warp in the area. | |||

The Veritas raced to support the Astraeus, and while en route, the Astraeus came under attack by several dozen pirate vessels, under the overall command of [[Jilor]], a Klingon terrorist who had attacked [[Antor II]] some months earlier. The two ships worked together to fight off this initial attack, but not before the pirates heavily damaged and boarded the Astraeus. Acting Captain Mei'konda dispatched engineering, tactical, and medical teams to assist. | The Veritas raced to support the Astraeus, and while en route, the Astraeus came under attack by several dozen pirate vessels, under the overall command of [[Jilor]], a Klingon terrorist who had attacked [[Antor II]] some months earlier.

With Jilor's forces utilizing jury rigged cloaking devices to retreat and regroup from the two powerful starships, the crew of the Astraeus and assisting teams from the Veritas, led by Commander [[Kelrod]] and Lieutenant Commander [[Lael Rosek]], fought to prevent the theft of equipment and supplies by the pirates. Showing no regard for the lives of the Starfleet officers on board the Astraeus, the pirates killed rather than stunned anyone who got in their way, resulting in heavy casualties among the Astraeus already skeleton crew. | With Jilor's forces utilizing jury rigged cloaking devices to retreat and regroup from the two powerful starships, the crew of the Astraeus and assisting teams from the Veritas, led by Commander [[Kelrod]] and Lieutenant Commander [[Lael Rosek]], fought to prevent the theft of equipment and supplies by the pirates.

With the help of the Veritas teams, the pirates on board the Astraeus called for a retreat, and their cloaked vessels began to move back in toward the stricken Galaxy class starship to beam them away. Meanwhile, an expert technician who had boarded the Astraeus along with the other raiders managed to retrieve the prefix codes for the Veritas from the ship's computers, and transmitted them to Jilor before she and her team leader were beamed back out. With the ability to lower the Veritas' shields, the pirates prepared to strike. | With the help of the Veritas teams, the pirates on board the Astraeus called for a retreat, and their cloaked vessels began to move back in toward the stricken Galaxy class starship to beam them away.

With most of the boarding teams aboard the Astraeus neutralized by Starfleet security and search-and-rescue personnel, those who could escape beamed away - though not before setting a complicated Ultritium bomb on the Astraeus' warp core. As they retrieved their boarding parties, Jilor's vessels decloaked, transmitted the prefix codes to lower the Veritas' shields, and began their attack. | With most of the boarding teams aboard the Astraeus neutralized by Starfleet security and search-and-rescue personnel, those who could escape beamed away - though not before setting a complicated Ultritium bomb on the Astraeus' warp core.

This was eventually solved through a combination of ingenious plans devised by Commander [[Luna Walker]] and her engineering crews, along with the Veritas' science departments. The Astraeus separated her saucer, and both the Astraeus stardrive section and the Veritas used their deflector dishes to form a subspace bubble around the saucer, reducing its mass to a manageable level. Then, using synchronized warp fields, the two ships towed the saucer out of the Shoals. | This was eventually solved through a combination of ingenious plans devised by Commander [[Luna Walker]] and her engineering crews, along with the Veritas' science departments.

It’s been a quiet couple of days, and we’re taking the opportunity to finish up deferred maintenance on the ''Veritas''’ systems. }} | |||

|LOG=Though the sting of Alex's sudden departure hasn't quite faded, recent events have given me something to look forward to. Yesterday, the Captain promoted me to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. It was bittersweet in a way, given both Alex's absence and Chythar's struggles to regain his rank, but today is a new day and I'm thoroughly excited about the possibilities. Never would I have imagined a year ago after having returned from a year in hell that I would see this day. It continues to amaze me how much difference time has made in healing old wounds. Maddy, my young ward (and I hope soon, my adopted daughter) has given me so much strength. Being responsible for her has pushed me to overcome my fears. Another blessing in disguise that I hadn't counted on is Jon. He's been amazingly supportive and patient as I try to be better at opening up to and trusting others. I hope that progress continues as I seek guidance from [[Evan Delano]] on gaining better control over my emotions and as I attempt to build a trust with Commander [[Luna Walker|Walker]].}} | |||

|LOG=We’re moments away from arrival at the ''Astraeus''’ location, and sensors indicate she’s under heavy attack from multiple targets. While readings are always difficult to verify, it would appear that she’s still putting up a fight, and I’m hoping that the damage she’s sustained while waiting for us to reinforce her is minor. | |||
I’ve ordered shields up and weapons charged. With any luck, we’ll be able to end this attack with a minimum of death today.}} | |||
