LCARS Database Report - USS Theurgy NX-79854
- Evening, 13th of February - Stardate 57489.45. The Senior Staff meeting is ended prematurely when a Federation starship is detected on sensors. The Theurgy encountered the USS Harbinger outside the Hromi Cluster but even as the ship used to belong to Task Force Archeron, Captain Vasser showed no hostile intent. It was revealed that the Harbinger shared the Theurgy's fate, being persecuted as traitors as well.
- After being sent to hunt the Theurgy down, Captain Vasser and his crew discovered a certain Ensign Sonja Acreth sending subspace messages back to Earth, and while not knowing as much as the Theurgy, Vasser had cause to doubt the legitimacy of his orders to destroy the Theurgy. Doing so openly, however, provoked an immediate response from Starfleet Command, and the Harbinger was also branded traitors. Being an Akira-class warship that served as a carrier for a wing of forty Federation Warp Fighters, they survived much in thanks to their Tactical CONN pilots, most of whom had been killed in action.
- Just as the two starships were in brittle communications with little trust between them, they were attacked by third single starship. Together with the Harbinger , the Theurgy fought this hunter sent by their common unknown enemy - a starship from the future. A ship named the USS Calamity, with an completely holographic crew compliment, and under complete command of it's Ship A.I.
- During this battle, half of the Senior Staff on the Theurgy was shot down on the Main Bridge by the Calamity's A.I - Cala - who infiltrated the Theurgy with a mobile emitter. An emitter which was beamed to a civilian shuttle that was caught in the crossfire and taken aboard the Theurgy mid-battle.
- In the end, the Calamity was forced to make a tactical retreat after a rigged shuttle detonated its warp core next it. The Theurgy and the Harbinger sent their surviving Valkyrie pilots to leave a false warp trail so that the two starships could fly to Theta Eridani IV in the Acamar System on impulse. Once the two ships landed and began damage assessments, and the Valkyrie-pilots returned, a memorial ceremony was held on the plain between the two ships. Many people were recovering in the Triage Centre, others in the hot springs area, and a full week of repairs on the damaged starships began.
- During the week on Theta Eridani IV, the two crews worked together to repair the ships after the encounter with the Calamity. Furthermore, with the Theurgy being the superior starship, Captain Vasser urged to transfer the majority of his crew to the Theurgy-class ship. The Harbinger was to function as tactical distraction, and its systems were refitted to be run by a skeleton crew. The new crew compliment served to patch up the holes in the Theurgy’s ranks after all the fighting it had gone through after leaving Earth nearly three months earlier.
- During the week, an attempt to interrogate Ensign Sonja Acreth was made in the Harbinger’s brig, but it nearly resulted in the death of both starship's Captains and their present Executive Officers. Acreth revealed herself to be one of the enemies - the Infested - and they proved themselves to me far more than power-hungry instigators. Acreth nearly escaped before she was returned to her holding cell. She managed to kill the Harbinger’s Chief of Security, showing inhuman strength and speed combined with a second personality. It was in that way the theory that Starfleet Command - together with any other unknown factions that had been overtaken at that point - were joined with parasitical aliens that existed in some kind of flux, making them undetectable inside their host bodies.
- The 22th of February - Stardate 57514.95O - was the eight day of repairs on Theta Eridani IV. It was the day at which the Calamity found them once more. She attacked the valley that they had set down in with orbital strikes, and sent down her own swarms of warp fighters - the futuristic AC-507 Mk I Reavers. As if orbital strikes and the Reavers were not enough, the Calamity triggered a planet-wide tectonic event with her orbital strikes - making all the sleeping volcanoes in the area erupt and the ground to heave in unrest. The two crews lived in modular shelters since the two starships were powered down, and while a pre-arranged defense-plan was set in action, there were many casualties before the two ships could ascend.
- Once they broke through the atmosphere and the sensors could penetrate the volcanic activity the ships left behind, they found the Calamity gone already. The reason for which was the arrival of Task Force Archeron.
