Yeager:First Mission - Belly of the Beast
In the Yeager's first mission, the crew is sent to chase down the traitor Torkav. While en route, the Krynar war comes to a head an all vessel are recalled to join the war effort. During the Battle of Tellar, the Yeager sends an away team aboard a Krynar ship in order to gain more information about their enemy and hopefully find their weakness. But when the Krynar retreat, the Yeager goes after her missing crewmembers and ends up in Krynar space, alone.

Commander Mattiana recording:
Second chances. I would never have thought I would have wanted one. Given how much Grayson seems to suspect Tarik and I, I'm surprised we even received it. But I'm not one to turn down good opportunities.
If it weren't for the fact that we're on the Yeager's memorial, it might be easier to swallow this chance. I'm sure this vessel was expressed shipped to us just so Grayson would get the satisfaction of knowing we'd have the daily reminder of our failures. While I can keep my own sentiments in check, I worry how it will impact the crew who served aboard the original Yeager for longer than I did. I put in a recommendation to have a counsellor assigned, but given the war, it seems they're in high demand. We didn't rank high enough.
Fortunately this is the chance for us to find redemption. A Yeager crewman was suspected of being the saboteur. According to the mission outline we received, Torkav was not a crewman at all, but instead a dishounorably discharged commander. How Delta's security allowed the man get to on board the Yeager in the first place is a mystery that has raised my own eyebrows, as well as those of my First Officer.
Our assignment is to track down the fugitive, and bring him into Star Fleet custody. Apparently he was spotted aboard some second-rate passenger liner near Acamar. So far, we've only found empty space.
Last time I checked, empty space didn't clang loudly against starship hulls.

Commander Mattiana recording:
It still appears as though 'nothing' is blowing off bits of our hull.
This time, however, we've had shield contact with said 'nothing'. 'Nothing' was also able to detonate against our side, causing a somewhat minor hull breach. Commander Tarik and Lieutenant Olsen are investigating to see if this 'nothing' was in fact an outside force or if we could possibly be facing sabotage once again.
The science and engineering departments have are working together to determine if this 'nothing' is actually something, but so far it appears that they haven't had much luck. They've launched a wide spread of probes in a hunt for cloaked objects, but so far the results have turned up nil.
We have yet to find any indication that Torkav is out here, but I have a strong feeling in my gut that he is.

Commanding Mattiana recording:
War.
Though not officially declared, the Federation is currently at war with the Krynar Confederation.
The Yeager received an emergency planetary distress call from Earth, meaning we had to abandon our search for the traitor Torkav. En route to Earth, Admiral Grayson redirected all of the fleet to the Tellar system. There we caught up with a large portion of the fleet – and a very large Krynar force.
Our science department discovered some interesting anomalies that appear to be coordinated and timed with the movement of Krynar motherships. We launched probes at these gravity wells in an effort to learn more information about them and the technology the Krynar use.
The probe managed to grab an immense amount of information in a short time, that even now we're trying to sort through. It appears as thought the gravity well took the probe to a trinary star system with over 40 planets. The probe was able to determine that many of the planets are inhabited, and it makes me wonder if this star system is the Krynar's home system, or just one they've 'enlightened' and are using as a staging ground for their incursion into the Alpha Quadrant.
As we were conducting our little test with the probe, we were surprised by a Krynar mothership appearing in spitting distance. It captured the Yeager with some sort of tractor beam and then, after sending bone-rattling vibrations through the deck plating, the vessel released us. They appear to be ignoring us for the time being, which makes me uneasy, but we're using this chance to gain as much information as we can.
Commander Tarik appears determined to lead an away team aboard the Krynar vessel. With no shielding, that should be an easy feat to beam aboard. However, we have no information on the inside of Krynar ships. While this is an opportunity to learn about them that I don't want us to miss, I also want to use caution as we take the next step. We could accidentally beam an away team into a bulkhead, or worse.
I've ordered a small probe to be transported over first, with the hopes that it will provide us enough information that we may follow it with an away team.

Commander Mattiana, recording:
The probe we sent over to the Krynar vessel provided us a wealth of information. The most important piece of which was the fact that the vessel was hospitable enough to accommodate an away team. The team would need to wear EV suits, since the environment is the type that most of the species in the Alpha quadrant are used to.
Commander Tarik lead the away team to the ship. They had only a short time over there before it was clear the Krynar vessel was about to depart. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to beam them back over. We were, however, close enough to the Krynar gravity well that we could pursue the vessel.
The Yeager was pulled through to a completely different star system. It’s clear this is the same star system that our probe travelled to, which means we’re a very long way from home.
However, the opportunity that’s presented itself to us cannot be denied. This star system is unlike anything in our database. We’re trying to grab up as much sensor information as we can for further study at a later date. I’m inclined to wonder how much of this system was built by the Krynar, as the impossibility of this star system seems like it could not be made by nature. However, I’m more than happy to leave the figuring of it out to minds more scientific than mine.
Right now we’re attempting to reestablish a transporter lock with the away team. It was unclear whether they’d survived through the Krynar gravity well, but we have just received communictions from the away team that confirm they are alive.

Commander Mattiana recording:
Risk is one of the things all Star Fleet personnel are prepared to face when they accept their commissions or enlist. Though we try our best to mitigate the dangers of space travel, of being explorers, of interacting with new species and civilizations, risk is ever present.
Today I took a chance and sent an away team aboard a vessel, knowing the risk.
Two crewmembers did not come back.
Someone notable from Terran history once said, "No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life in a great cause." One might say that information alone is a great cause; it's our thirst for knowledge that pushed us to be explorers, to join Star Fleet, to explore the far reaches of space. Without knowledge, we can't grow, can't continue to evolve our civilization, technology, culture.
Was the knowledge we gained today worth the lives of two crewmen? Is the loss of any life "worthwhile"?
If Tarik were here right now he would likely provide some Klingon platitude, about how things are impossible to those who are overly cautious.
I'd like to put on record the honourable sacrifices made by Commander Tarik and Petty Officer 3rd Class Solis Renalla. They died in the line of duty, gathering information on hostile enemy forces.

Commander Tarik Recording
((This log was recorded on Star Base Delta but was attached to the ships logs when it docked at Delta.))
It finally seems that the string of meetings and debriefings I was required to attend have drawn to an end.
Ever since the USS Titan deposited the Yeager survivors to Star Base Delta I have been summoned to meeting after meeting to give my account of the mission that eventually left us stranded on Vandis III. These meetings included, but were not limited to, meeting with my exchange program officer, JAG corp, Fourth Fleet Security Command Offices, The Deputy Fleet Commander, and most recently the Fleet Commander himself.
I do not understand why all of these personnel could not simply all be present for one large meeting at that surely would have cut down on wasted hours of my life. I suppose however they wanted to ensure that my story never once wavered, which it did not. I had honestly expected to be blamed for the Yeager's malfunctions and destruction. After all, as an exchange officer Klingon serving for the first time on a star ship I seemed like the perfect scapegoat.
My intuition was not totally wrong. Apparently the leading suspect at the moment is a Klingon, or a Klingon hybrid rather. A man by the name of Torkav who is seemingly half Klingon and half Romulan who has served as a Star Fleet spook in the past is currently wanted for questioning in the incident. How a Klingon could ever breed with a Romulan is beyond me but even that is less puzzling than how Star Fleet managed to allow a seemingly retired spy onto the Yeager.
The most recent meeting, which was with Admiral Grayson the Fleet Commander, not only officially cleared the command staff from any wrong-doing but also gave us our new assignments. It seems that Commander Mattiana and myself will be staying together on a new vessel which has been christened the USS Yeager in honor of our fallen vessel. The new Yeager will dock at Delta in just a few days.
Mattiana and I have therefore decided to get the surviving crew together for a memorial celebration and to hand out the new assignments. Hopefully this will provide an opportunity for the crew to heal and move on. We have a mission to get on with soon after all.

Begin Log.
Let me first start by saying that you should always be careful what you volunteer for. A Krynar mothership appeared on top of us in the Tellar system. When we weren’t immediately destroyed, Commander Tarik got it in his head that he was going to board the ship and gather intel. I saw it as a good opportunity to gather some information about what make the Krynar ship’s tick.
With the Captain’s permission, Commander led a team of myself, Lieutenant Olsen, Midshipman Anilova and Pee-Oh-3 Solis. We beamed over into a large chamber. The atmosphere was gelatinous and corrosive according to sensors. It was very difficult to move in until Lieutenant Olsen discovered that the maneuvering jets on our EV suits would allow us to move more freely.
I was able to locate what I believe was a control junction. There were several in the chamber and I chose to investigate the closest. There were no visible controls on it but some scanning and comparative back engineering told me that it was similar to a power junction. It could have been used for controlling multiple functions, but I could not be sure.
During this time, it was discovered that we had lost transport locks and comms with the Yeager. At that point Commander Tarik and the team started looking for ways to reestablish comms and to get off the ship if necessary. It was around this time that I detected a surge in the power junction. Before much could be done, a surge in the gelatinous atmosphere threw me back against a bulkhead. I sustained no permanent injuries. At the same time, Solis and Commander Tarik were swept forcefully and swiftly across the chamber and were literally crushed against the far wall in the wave. When I got back to my feet, I turned to find that we had lost them both. It was horrifying. I have never witnessed something like that. I would really rather not discuss the details of what I saw exactly, but suffice to say, they had given their life bravely.
Shortly afterward, the walls of the chamber began closing in on us. Anilova had started to lose consciousness due to a suit malfunction which limited her air supply. Olsen, dragging Anilova, started making their way to the doorway leading out of the chamber. However, it closed abruptly, trapping us all in. My assumption at that point was that we were detected as a threat and the Krynar were looking to kill us as well.
That is when I drew my phaser and fired on the power junction. I had hoped it would blow a hole into perhaps an adjacent room. It, however, breached the hull and we were ejected from the ship. Shortly afterward, we were luckily picked up by the Yeager and beamed safely back aboard.
As I mentioned earlier, the remains of Pee-Oh-3 Solis and Commander Tarik were unrecoverable. May they rest in peace. I have nothing further to add to this incident report. I submit this report in the stead of the First Officer.

Lieutenant Alexa Rydell recording:
This mission has been nerve-wracking, in the least productive way possible. So far, there has been one loud clang, and two separate incidents that caused the ship to violently shake. No explanation regarding these incidents has been offered.
It's safe to say that this has not been good for anyone's nerves.
Incident #2 resulted in one serious injury, a woman working in the cargo bays who fell from a ladder. Doctor Knight and Nurse Lerner are assigned to that case. I'm interested to hear Lerner's impression of how Knight works. The midshipman has some...interesting...notes in her personnel file. But, then again, so did I.
Following incident #3, I received a report of regarding an engineer in the airlock. The engineer was talking to herself, and seemed to believe she'd gone out on an EVA, though the crewman reporting said she had never left the ship, and showed no awareness of him when he tried to talk to her. I'm heading over with Nurse th'Naarath to check it out.
I'm not entirely sure what to expect.

I'm going to try to take down some record of what has occurred since my last log entry. I suppose it hasn't truly been that long, if you look back on the quantitatively, but with all that as happened it feels as though it has been months. I'll do my best to sketch out a timeline of events, but in all likelihood the rest of the senior staff will have more perspective on the situation than I.
We were called away from our previous mission by a distress call in the Sol System: the front of the war with the Krynar had reached earth. I began extensive preparations to ensure that the Yeager medical department was battle-ready. I have attached copies of the status reports received from the Bridge, but again my first-hand knowledge of the situation during the battle is limited. What I do know is that at some point, Commander Tarik asked me to create a modified set of neural stimulators, designed by one Dr. Ristone of the Avenger, which could combat the affects of Krynar enlightenment orbs, which had effected some of the ships in the fleet.
I had my staff set to work on creating the stimulators, and brought a set up to the Bridge. It was at this point that I learned the First Officer intended to beam over to a Krynar mothership, to attempt to gather information. Knowing this mission would be incredibly dangerous, I asked if any of my staff wanted to volunteer. One of my EMTs, PO3 Solis Renalla stepped up for away team duty.
After they beamed over, the mothership started to move. The captain ordered us to follow it through the gravity well that they use to travel, which took us to what appeared to be the Krynar home system.
We attempted to keep up with the mothership to get a lock on the away team. When we were finally able to beam them back, we returned Lieutenants Cole and Olsen, and Midshipman Anilova. First Officer Tarik and PO3 Solis were apparently dead, their bodies unrecovered. I went to the transporter room the escort the team to sickbay, and ensure that they brought over no dangerous materials with them from the mothership.
Cole and Olsen were relatively good condition, for people who'd seen their First Officer die. Anilova was affected far more by the events of the mission, and is currently in sickbay under the care of Nurse Lerner and Doctor Helms.
I was unable to conduct a full survey of the away team's health myself, as I was called back to the Bridge to attend to a medical emergency. The helmsman, Midshipman Galloway, had suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm, somehow undetected in his physicals. Unfortunately, he was dead by the time I arrived.
it was also around that point that we began to detect Star Fleet ships beaming in. Unbeknownst to us, weeks had best since we departed from the Sol System, and the fleet had prepared a preemptive strike. I voiced my concerns to the captain regarding the hole in the command structure left by Tarik's passing. I am forced to admit that my timing may not have been the most ideal, but that does not to me justify the degree to which Lieutenant Cole, and Captain, undercut my concerns and dismissed me out-of-hand.
Consider this my official record of protest: Sentiment should not get in the way of the proper organization of a ship. Death is tragic, but respect for the dead should not impede the safety and security of the ship and crew. In time of war, it is not enough that the computer knows the succession of command; in this one area, at least, certainty should be preferred above all else.
As a secondary record of protest, I register my concerns regarding the actions Star Fleet is conducting in the Krynar Home System. i am not naive I know that war is an ugly, bloody, awful thing. I have lived it. I have wondered, sometimes, if I'd have chosen to wipe out the Borg if I could. Neither I or anyone on the Yeager was privy to the decision-making and plans of the Fleet, but I must say that, even knowing what I do about the costs of war, something about this feels wrong.
Sometimes, one must do what must be done. That I have always known. As said above, there isn't space in war for sentiment. But somehow, this feels bigger and darker than that. Maybe it's just my mood, but I can't shake the feeling that little good will come out of any of this.
As a final note, I am remaining vigilant in monitoring the phsyical and emotional state of the senior staff, myself included. We are all emotionally compromised and wearing down to the edge, some of us a little more than others.

Lieutenant Alexa Rydell recording:
One of the Star Fleet ships, the USS Oceanus, a police frigate, was destroyed in the conflict. Eleven survivors were beamed into our sickbay, in various states of injury. I'm happy to say that all those we were able to transport survived, though several required extensive surgery, and two are going to require more extensive treatment once we get back to base.
Lieutenant Cole suffered a concussion and skull fracture while trying to comfort a Klingon patient. On the whole he got lucky, and I have advised him not approach patients in the future without referring to me first.
There was also an incident where the Cee-Oh of the Oceanus, one Commander Parker, left sickbay without authorization, and made it to the Bridge before security caught up with him. I'm told that he confronted the captain about rescue efforts on the Oceanus, but that Lieutenant Olsen was able to defuse the situation and get him off the Bridge.
We've dropped off the disabled Titan, and are currently en route to Star Base Delta. I'm ready to be off this ship. I have that feeling like I'm being worn down into nothing, and I can tell that everyone else feels it too.
I doubt whatever break we get will be nearly long enough.

Midshipman Hailey Knight recording:
I'm finally on board an actual ship. Eight years of Academy training and what seemed like eight years of waiting around on Star Base Delta, and I've arrived. The USS Yeager, FSC-28018, a Yeager-class scout headed for the Acamar system. We won't arrive until tomorrow, but already I can feel the nervous tension on the ship amping up as we get nearer.
Obviously, I wasn't a part of the last mission, so Doctor Rydell suggested I review the crew logs from last time. It's quite the eye opener, and explains why everyone was so solemn and serious at that 'party' I went to for the crew on Delta. I'm not sure it fills me with a great deal of confidence for what will happen when we arrive, though.
Doctor Rydell is an interesting one. She's not quite as I expected, though just as strict: I can't even wear my earrings! I don't think she liked that I'm a psychiatrist very much: I guess I won't have much opportunity for that here anyway, but with the way things went down on the last mission, this crew could sorely use some counselling. I'll be filling in there, too, hopefully, as we don't actually have a Ship's Counsellor.
Everyone here is just, really serious. It's not like the station at all, even though some of the same people are here: Besek and Luca, Hudgins and DeWitt. They've hardly spoken a word to me. Just busy with work in their departments, I guess, and it's not like our current mission really puts people in the mood for fraternising.
Strange, then, how I'm missing Delta a bit. The work there was monotonous and T'Pela was so dull and every night I winged to Naoko about how I wanted my ship to arrive: but now I'm here. It's like that play I went to in the Academy, Waiting for Godot. It was so boring I left before the end, so I never actually saw this Godot person turn up, but I got the general idea.
What I wouldn't give for a bustling promenade, fights at a Klingon restaurant, a Romulan clothes shop. All I have here is my cramped little room and a Sickbay full of vastly more experienced officers and crew, none of whom trust me very much. Maybe they're right not to, but all I can do is try the very best to help on this next mission.
Oh, and worst luck, our Captain definitely is a Kriosian, not a Trill, and our XO is a Klingon. I failed both of those species in my exobiology rotations. Let's hope neither of them get injured: if Laila or Caithlyn get hurt, at least I got a C- in Trill anatomy. Not that I want my only friends on the ship to start getting blown up so I can prove that I'm not totally incompetent, of course.
Oh dear, perhaps I'd better stop here.

Lieutenant (junior grade) Laila Besek recording:
Our voyage to the Acamar system commenced without incident. I spent the hours familiarizing myself with the new ship, and working on a new dark energy simulation.
Following our arrival, activity quickly picked up. First, something impacted our hull, resulting in a loud clang and several deep scratches in the hull plating. Sensors were unable to determine what exactly hit us, and it left no traces of itself behind to be analyzed.
Shortly afterward, there was an explosion. No serious damage was done, but any standing crew were knocked off their feet. Again, sensors picked up nothing prior to the explosion. I was concerned over the lack of sensor input relating to both the collision and the explosion, so I conducted a level three diagnostic on all sensors.
The diagnostic came back green across the board; the results have been attached. While it's certainly possible that there's also an issue with our diagnostic system, I'm inclined to believe the problem lies outside the ship. It's difficult for me to beleive that the engineers could ahve missed diagnostic problems on a brand-new ship.
I've temporarily transferred my station to Main Engineering, where Lieutenant Cole and I have prepped probes to set up a tachyon detection grid. Hopefully, this'll give us a better read on whether there's some sort of cloaked object out there giving us trouble.

Lieutenant junior grade Laila Besek, recording:
Is it unprofessional to admit that I'm not even sure where to begin?
Probably.
I guess I'll just have to do my best, and hope it's good enough.
Our trip through the gravity well and the events leading up to it have no doubt been well-documented. I'll pick up from the moment we emerged. We found ourselves in an immense trinary system, the like of which I have never seen. I couldn't understand how such a system could be sustained naturally. The Krynar must have been using something to keep it stable.
We pursued the mothership on which the Yeager away team had been sent. When we retrieved them, we learned that Commander Tarik was dead. Shortly afterwards, our helmsman Midshipman Galloway suffered a brain aneurysm out of the blue. Then, on top of all that, we started detecting Star Fleet and Klingon ships jumping into the system.
This was baffling to us at the time. Lieutenant Piper and I determined that the readings were genuine, and not a Krynar trick. I've since learned that, due to the time dilation of going through the gravity well, several weeks had passed between the battle at Tellar and the fleet jumping in, though for us it felt like mere minutes. We were ordered to fall back to the support fleet and protect the transwrap gate. And then...
And then the main attack group destroyed the central planetoid. Smashed it to bits with some sort of gravity weapon. This started an anti-graviton wave, which began to spread. The stars wobbled, knocked off their orbit. It hasn't destroyed the system yet, but it's only a matter of weeks before it will.
We then found ourselves part of a firefight with multiple alien ships of unknown origin. Our little scout mostly managed to avoid attention, but other ships weren't so lucky. The Titan took a bad hit when a modified torpedo exploded too close to it. The Oceanus got drilled into by what looked like a mining labor. Midshipman Tenkila was only able to beam off eleven survivors before the ship exploded.
During this time, Krynar motherships started jumping into the system, completely powerless. As though they were tied to the central planetoid, and couldn't operate without it. The alien ships broke of their attack on us and began beating on the Krynar. The leading theory is that, freed from enlightenment, they were exacting revenge.
Once the transwarp gate was completed, we tractored the Titan through. We took them to Star Base Bravo, before heading to our own home base. We've had our hand full analyzing and compiling all the data we took in, and I expect the Star Fleet Science would be at it for quite some time.
I intend to spend a lot of my shore leave studying the trinary sytem. I doubt we'll see its like again any time soon.

Midshipman Gaurav Tenkila, recording:
It has been precisely 1.4 since I was assigned the USS Yeager and this is my first log aboard this ship. I find the ship and its crew to be quite interesting, not to mention young, but experienced nevertheless. The situation on the bridge when I entered was, quite simply put, a mess. With the First Officer deceased, there were many problems the captain and the crew had to face, but thankfully, nothing untoward happened regarding the chain of command.
Coming to the incidents external to the Yeager, the ship had just warped into the Krynar home system, which was already under attack by a joint Klingon and Federation fleet. The use of "graser" weapons by the Federation on a lone planetoid in the system caused an anti-gravity wave to spread outward from the center of the system, destroying everything in its path, including billions of Krynar and the races they had "enlightened."
There was also an appearance of a strange vessel, similar in design to that of Dominion ships, but not much thought was given to it at that time, on account of an assault launched by a fleet of alien ships. The alien ships used torpedoes which combined both photonic and graviton technologies and were extremely dangerous. The use of a tractor beam to disable the torpedoes failed, which led to the USS Titan being heavily damaged.
A mining vessel, inflicted massive damage on the police vessel, the Oceanus, and I was able to beam out only 11 of the 17 survivors before a warp core breach. Then, suddenly, the alien vessels ceased attacking all Federation ships, and began attacking the Krynar motherships, which were now dead in space for an unknown reason.
All Federation vessels were able to pass through the completed transwarp gate successfully and return to their bases. During my shore leave, there are quite a few things I would like to review regarding this mission, such as the data from the Krynar home system, the anti-gravity wave and its effects and the Domion-like vessel encountered by us.

This has been a crazy ride! I have been onboard of the Yeager for exactly four months and it has been a madhouse. At first I was extremely anxious, having trouble to fit in and bothered extensively by the major alien occupation on our ship. Then the Krynar started to play up and I apparently was destined to go on board on one of their vessel as part of an away team.
It was a plain suicide mission! Two lives were lost… unnecessarily if you ask me. There was no reason, at all, to board that Krynar vessel with so little knowledge in advance. I already had a great dislike towards that Klingon first officer and the alien Captain…my instincts proved me right, they truly don’t care about human safety at all. His fearlessness got him killed on the spot!
I do realize now more than ever that I and with me the other new tactical officers will have to change things around. These sort of ‘experiments’ are just…stupid! We will have to stop those alien attempts to get humans killed sooner rather than later.
Apparently I have had an overreaction on the protectional neuro-device that was supposed to protect my brains against Krynar telepathic attacks. Not only did I literally lose my mind, It could have gotten me killed just as easily. Next time these people decided to fit technology onto my skull I will do a test round on the holo deck first.
Due to the device a lot of my memories are vague and hard to reach. In one way it is a relief, I can sleep normally just as I did before. It does slightly annoy me that I am unable to remember what exactly happened. In the mission de-brief I could only provide little amounts of information.
I have been in sickbay during the bigger part of our journey home to Starbase Delta, recovering from my extreme exhaustion caused by that cursed device.
I do am glad to say that I am recovering quickly, it seems there is no permanent damage done to my brain. I am so glad to be off the duty roster..this way I don't have to dock the ship on Delta...! What a relief!
