Captain's Log Stardate 0108.27 USS Guadalcanal, Gamma Serpentis Sector

Captain's Log, Stardate 0108.27. Captain Murphy recording. Gamma Serpentis
system. We managed to make up a bit more time today, and in fact managed to
bring up a long range sensor image of the Xena planetoid that kept Sargon
busy. We're also expecting a science data packet soon, consisting of a
preliminary analysis of the initial survey we conducted of Xena when we
first encountered it.

Warship Log Stardate 0108.27 IKS DuranQo, in Draylon Sector (TOS Map)

Warship Log, Stardate 0108.27. Captain Korvus recording. In the second day
of our enforced three-day layover in the outskirts of the Capella system, we
detected two ships moving in and out of the system. The first was a small
ship that we are guessing was a Klingon scout ship. It orbitted the planet
for a very short time before heading away. A few hours later, a larger ship
appeared that was, according to computer records of the time, was the USS
Enterprise. While the idea of doing battle with Kirk makes my blood sing, I
count myself and my ship lucky that we remained undetected.

Captain's Log Stardate 0108.23 USS Guadalcanal, Dener Kaitos Sector

Captain's Log, Stardate 0108.23. Captain Murphy recording. Sigma Draconis
system. We picked up a distress signal from a Vulcan civilian craft.
According to the owner, Solok, problems developed in the warp core that
added unsustainable stress to the space frame. We were in a position of
having to rescue the ship, the Gol, while not losing too much time on our
mission to catch the rogue planet Xena. After matching velocity and pulling
up alongside the Gol, Chief Engineer Goddard was able to wrap our warp
bubble around the other craft. At that point we were able to effect repairs
to the Gol's warp core and space frame. After he moved out on his own steam,
Solok expressed his gratitude and promised to return home for more thorough
checks and repairs. We managed to make up the very short time that we'd lost
in helping out Solok.

Warship Log Stardate 0108.23 IKS DuranQo, in Draylon Sector (TOS Map)

Warship Log, Stardate 0108.23. Captain Korvus recording. In the first day of
our enforced three-day layover in the outskirts of the Capella system, we
were detected and engaged by the Federation Light Cruiser USS Entebbe. There
was no chance to avoid combat, and the valiant ship was destroyed with all
hands. Combat proceeded as follows:

Light Cruiser USS Entebbe (Multiplier X4)
Heavy Cruiser IKS DuranQo (Multiplier X5)

USS Entebbe rolls 36 . Allocation: 18,18
IKS DuranQo rolls 20 . Allocation: 2, 18

Result:
USS Entebbe: 15
IKS DuranQo: 15

USS Entebbe rolls 24. Allocation: 12,12
IKS DuranQo rolls 45. Allocation: 33, 12

Result:
USS Entebbe: Destroyed
IKS DuranQo: Undamaged

Captain's Log Stardate 0108.20 USS Guadalcanal, Mizar Sector

Captain's Log, Stardate 0108.20. Captain Murphy recording. One of the more
frustrating aspects of the space/time compression is the fact that according
to the ship's chronometer, we've just spent the last eleven days crossing a
sector that we should have done in two. There is no other measurable side
effect, and Starbase 621 advises that Starfleet monitoring stations show
that we haven't lost any time in our pursuit of the rogue planet designated
Xena.

Sargon showed his face as we passed through the Mizar system, which boasts
five stars. We launched a long term observation probe to monitor the unique
properties of that system. I wouldn't mind having the opportunity to stick
around and do a full scientific survey. Maybe next time. After all, the
mission we're on came about because we happened upon Xena during the search
for the missing convoy. Who knows what we'll find if we get a chance to come
back to Mizar.

Warship Log Stardate 0108.20 IKS DuranQo, in Draylon Sector (TOS Map)

Warship Log, Stardate 0108.20. Captain Korvus recording. We entered the
fringes of the Arachnid nebula, and found our speed reduced by half. This
nebula presents a particular danger to us, owing to several factors. Our
cloak is subject to failing in here, and even if it does not fail, other
ships happening to pass nearby might note visual evidence of our existence
as we move through the thick gasses and debris in here. That very debris
also poses a threat to our hull, weakened as it is by our journey. For all
that, the nebula is safer than the space nearby. Therein lies the Capella
system, heavily disputed by the Empire and the Federation of this era.
Again, I find myself forced to hide rather than facing my enemies. It is
distasteful, but I have to do more than just die with honor. I must lead my
crew with a steady hand through troubled and uncharted waters.

Supplemental entry:
An unexplained explosion in the nebula put our cloak offline, and damaged
the impulse deck. When microfractures began to form along the hull, we were
forced to leave the relative safety of the nebula. We are now within sensor
range of the contested Capella system, and unable to move for three days. If
any ship happens upon us, we will be in for the fight of our lives.

Captain's Log Stardate 0108.11 USS Guadalcanal, Bajor Sector

Captain's Log, Stardate 0108.11. Captain Murphy recording. We passed through
the Kalandra system at maximum warp, just slowing long enough to note a
space/time compression 'ripple' passing through the Draygo system. The
android Sargon is spending every minute of the trip in the cargo bay
examining the equipment for the Magellan outpost.

The Klingon/Federation task force searching for the DuranQo passed us in the
Kalandra system as well, heading towards Tzenkethi space. That is the
general direction that the unidentified craft that attacked DS9 came from,
as well as, possibly, the space/time compression. Captain Korvus would
probably rather be in StoVoKor than at the middle of a mystery. We can only
hope that both don't apply. If it is determined, or even strongly believed
that a Klingon ship was destroyed while deep within Federation space, things
could get extremely tense.
