Ensign Aura Putar : Mission Report from Camus II : Stardate 6608.26
Subject Headings: materials: Celebium, Celebium Shielding; planets: individual (Camus II); starships: individual (USS Yorktown)
My commanding officer has just called the Engineering team to a meeting. We have learned that the ship received a distress signal from the planet Camus II, where the celebium shielding isn’t working.
I’m assigned to a computer relay that is in charge of the distribution of the plasma that provides energy to the celebium shielding. I was assigned to this because of my specialty in computer repairs.
My team consists of: Ensign Vorosing- Security-Male Ensign Ballard- Command-Male Lieutenant JG Lynn- Medical-Female They’re all recent graduates. Lynn graduated from the Medical Academy.
We beam down...
I see my computer terminal. Better head in. I’ve finally met my team members.
Ensign Vorosing looks...plain.
There are blue stains near an EPS breach.
The terminal is a bit broken down. It appears to have sustained blunt damage.
Lynn is going to scan the blue stains, which Vorosing suspects is blood. She finds that it is copper based blood, from a species she in unfamiliar with. Not Vulcan.
Systems are coming on. I can see where the breaches WERE, and I’ve bypassed them. Celebium shields are up, if only temporarily.
My communicator rings, and it’s my superior officer. He’s impressed by my repairs, and pleased.
Lynn has deduced that it is cyanide that gives the blue blood it’s blue coloring.
Vorosing is struck by an arrow out of nowhere! In the left brachial artery, and blood squirted out. However, Lynn deftly patched him up within two seconds of the injury. I pulled out my communicator.
Ballard is searching for the arrow’s origins, and I am calling my superior officer. I take a quick glance at the arrow. It is primitive, made of wood. Ballard and Vorosing can see the attackers. They’re 10 yards out. They have blue skin, and are bald. They appear to be about the same size as humans.
They have a shield, and the archer is using the shield as cover. The arrow misses.
Ballard tries to fire his phaser, set on stun.
My call makes it through. My commanding officer tells us to make it to cover. Vorosing says that he will cover us as we escape to cover. He fires a shot at the natives, but misses. Then he returns to us and we are beamed aboard.
I believe that Vorosing and Ballard’s actions are acceptable given the circumstances.
A high bridge officer wants to see us. We are waiting in the briefing room. A commanding officer wants 4 reports about the situation, one from each of us.
I tell him my story. Now Ballard is telling him about the blunt trauma to the computer, and the blue blood around the EPS. He’s says that it’s unfortunate they were exposed to the phasers. We are not to mention our contact with the natives with ANY OTHER CREW MEMBERS.
We send honest reports, and talk to no one.
The next day, we are met in the briefing room again. We aren’t alone; there are other teams, all ones that had similar encounters with the natives.
It’s the head of security. Celebium repairs are going well. We need to get the natives away from the research area. If we can-without lethal means- repel them across the crevices, and destroy their rope bridges or whatever, then they should stop bothering the research station.
We are only to use primitive means to repel them. This should be interesting.
We’re heading out. We have been equipped with special armor that will protect us against most blows, stabs, slashes, etc. They look like the natives’ armor. Our skin is also painted blue. Plus, Lynn has a machete, Vorosing an axe, Ballard a machete as well, and I a saber. All made to look like the natives’.
We were beamed down behind a rock, and then waited for the party of four to be parallel to the rock. Then, Vorosing and Lynn snuck around the back, while Ballard and I sprung out to face them. The natives were surprised, and we had the advantage. There was one lady with no weapons, a native with a large shield and sword, and a heavily armored one with a sword. All armed natives were male.
After a short scrimmage, all but the heavily armored native were unconscious. The remaining native climbed down the rock face and got away across the rope bridge. We allowed him to do this so that he could warn his people to not go across the bridge.
Ensign Vorosing called in for some Starfleet rope and a tricorder. They were beamed down behind the same rock that we beamed down behind, so the remaining native wouldn’t see them. We investigated the natives and their possessions with the tricorder (tricorder results included with this report), then Ballard and Vorosing threw the items into the crevice, while making savage war cries in a further attempt to drive away the natives.
Lieutenant JG Lynn uses her climbing skills to go down the side of the crevice, where the native had gone only moments before. There, she sees a cave and the rope bridge.
Vorosing offers to investigate the cave. He takes the tricorder and learns that there is a bottleneck room with eight natives inside. He asks for the starship to beam down a canister of sleeping gas. This happens, and then Vorosing sneaks in and activates the canister. Seven natives were knocked unconscious. Vorosing went in to the cave to discover why one native wasn’t knocked out, as he should have been.
Inside the cave, Vorosing saw the native standing up, next to what seemed like a portal. The native heard Vorosing, and so he retreated.
Oh yes, and the natives that we fought were beamed across to the other side, before we investigated the cave.
Anyways, we beamed aboard the ship, and then you asked us to write these reports, sir. I hope that you find this report satisfactory.

Ensign Aura Putar : Mission Report from Sinbad (Briareus I) : Stardate 6611.16
Subject Headings: planets: individual (Sinbad), type: Class-N; private organizations: individual (Office of Oceanic Affairs); species: individual (Deepies); starships: individual (USS Yorktown)
We (Ensigns Keaton Ballard, Attila Vorosign, Kagiso Mkeli and Lieutenant Junior Grade Spark Lynne, and I, Ensign Aura Putar) were assigned to investigate the current situation on the planet Sinbad, involving the Deepies, a race of supposed “wild animals”. The Deepies were supposedly attacking various fishing settlements. We were on our way to one site of these attacks, some of the passengers on our shuttle tried to hijack the shuttle.
However, we quickly apprehended them and learned that they saw that we were from Starfleet, and tried to hijack the ship in order to reveal to us the truth about the Deepies. They took us to the location of three (3) dead Deepies that were not tampered with by the O.O.A. We saw that they were clearly intelligent, and what the Federation would consider a Class Three Technology Level, akin to that of the Native Americans on Old Earth. The Deepies had tools much more advanced than sharpened coral. They had long coral knives, coral harpoons, and most notably a crossbow made out of coral and with a string made out of kelp.
Later, we showed this evidence to our superiors and they decided for us to attempt to make contact with the Deepies. They had developed a device that translated our language to the supersonic speech of their race. We learned from them that the “land devils”, or O.O.A., was actually attacking the Deepies first! We also promised to end the deaths of their people.
We reported this to our superiors, who had us gather more intelligence on the O.O.A. Vorosign set up a 3D surveillance system in the O.O.A. headquarters, and we had the opportunity to look around their computer files. Mkeli found a deleted intercompany memo to get rid of the Deepy artifacts, and information regarding the fact that the O.O.A. knew about the Deepies’ intelligence.
The O.O.A. has been shut down, and certain O.O.A. executives are currently in jail. The colony on Sinbad will not be abandoned, but relations with the Deepies have begun and laws will be placed to ensure that they have a steady supply of food (fish).
