In To The Big Blue
Prologue[edit]
The USS Traveller was chasing a pirate vessel through the Labyrinth System. The pirate ship had tried to slip passed and escape into the radiation sources and strong energy fluctuations cloude which made up the system wide nebula. With the Traveller in persute followed the fleeing pirate ship deep into the nebula. While exchanging weapons fire the pirate ship hit and crashed into an uncharted ocean world and sunk into the deapths.
New Beginning[edit]
The USS Serenity slipped its moorings and moved out of its dry dock. Its first mission with a new crew and a new Captain, Commadner Jay. Along with the new first officer Lieutenant Commander Bill Grayjoy, Sergeant Major Kindoo Pachakan Chief Tactical Officer and Chief Engineer Master Chief Petty Officer Hamish McDonald. After completing work up trials at sea the Serenity boosting into orbit and the Serenity started its space trials. After its completion one of its long distance warp trials the Serenity was given a set of emergency orders to proceeded to the Labyrinth system to investigate the disappearance of a pirate ship into a ocean world. So the Serenity set off to the Labyrinth system with al speed.
Taking the Plunge[edit]
The Serenity arrived at the Ocean World and relieved the Traveller who carries on her search for more pirates. The crew began scanning the Ocean World to try and find out where the pirate ship had gone but also how the world was formed. From the results of the study it became apparent that there were similarities to the ocean world that was found by the USS Voyager in the Delta quadrant. This ocean world had at the core of the planet was an object which was producing a massive amount to power. What was disturbing was that the pirate ship was along side the object. They were not able to get good readings from orbit so Jay decided to take the Serenity down for a closer look.
Some One Else’s Dinner[edit]
The Serenity made a successful orbital dive into the ocean. After making sure nothing was damaged from the impact with the water Jay ordered a slow descent to the bottom. The sensor sweeps from orbit had already indicated that there was life in the ocean some of it about the size of the Serenity and due to the shock wave that was produced from their orbital dive they soon realised that the had caught the attention of the local aquatic life. Some of which were becoming too friendly then Jay would have licked. After increasing the rate of descent and a couple non lethal phasor shots to the ones that did not take the hint they managed to become less interesting and were left alone to continue their descent to the depths below.
Torpedo, Torpedo, Torpedo[edit]
As the Serenity came closer to the massive power reactor, the pirate vessel detached form the power core and began speeding off away from them. Jay sent a message to the pirate vessel to stop and rise to the surface. When then there was no reply he sent the Serenity off in pursuit. They did not want the pirate vessel to escape as it may have valuable information about where the pirate base is in the system. The pirate vessel dived into a valley filled with deep canyons as it tried out run the Serenity. Serenity followed closely trying to squeeze into a deep canyon as the pirate vessel disappeared into it. Then suddenly the pirate vessel emerged from the far end of the canyon. Jay sent the Serenity surging forward after it. Another volley torpedoes was flung towards them. The Serenity drastically changed direction and depth as it launched counter measures and intercept missiles to destroy the incoming torpedoes. As the last torpedo was destroyed Kindoo Pachakan fired back at the pirate vessel. The torpedo sped away from the Serenity as it hungrily tracked the pirate vessel. It hit the pirate vessel in the engines with a flash of the explosion and then suddenly dropped into an out of control dive into a deep canyon.
Crush Depth[edit]
Jay ordered the Serenity into quickly dive after the out of control pirate vessel. Jay tried to close on the ship knowing that if the pirate vessel did not stop its out of control dive it would implode as the pressure got to high. There was too much debree and silt drifting down from where the battle which was disrupting the transporter lock as well as the power leaking from the massive reactor meant that they were not able to get the crew off the stricken pirate vessel. As the Serenity closed the distance she fired a set of grappling cables. Jay was trying to grapple the pirate vessel so that it could pull the vessel back to the surface. The pirate vessel fired again at the Serenity as it closed, Jay ordered evasive manoeuvres to reduce the damage from the pirate’s weapon fire. The Serenity pulled up getting some distance from the pirate vessel as the damage it had inflicted was dealt with. By the time the Serenity got the flooding under control and began to descend, the pirate vessel suddenly imploded with a flash of light and then a powerful explosion as the pirate vessel structural integrity failed.
Salvage Expert[edit]
The Serenity slowly dropped down to the wreckage of the pirate vessel which had crashed into the floor of the deep canyon. The Serenity floated about 50 feet above the pirate vessel and gave a detailed scan. Jay sent one of the submersible shuttle craft with Bill Grayjoy over to the wreckage to try and see if there was anything to find. After an extensive search of the pirate vessel and a close inspection of the computer they were able to account for all the deceased crew and down loaded 60 percent of the computer core. Jay ordered the intelligence section to search through the computer down load as the Serenity ascended and moved towards the massive reactor.
Mystery’s of the Deep[edit]
The Serenity moved close and docked at the reactor at the same docking port that the pirate vessel used. The away team commanded by Bill Grayjoy managed to gain access to the reactor, they found that the crew of the pirate vessel were trying to overload the reactor and form a shock wave that would have devastated half the system. The away team was able to stop the overload and power down the reactor to normal levels. The away team assessed the main database and they found that the massive reactor in the depths of the ocean world was activated millions of years ago and had draw the surface water of a planet which for some unknown reason was then pulled into what then became the ocean world. There was no information on the people who had managed to make the ocean world or why they had done it. After gaining this information and making sure that the reactor was stable the Serenity headed for the surface.
Lift Off[edit]
The Serenity surfaced scanned the immediate area to make sure that there was no dangerous objects in there area from the subsurface into orbit. When Jay was happy that they would not hit anything he ordered the Serenity to cruising depth. She set the Serenity for orbital launch. The four retractable launch impulse engines opened from the Serenity’s sides and activated and the extra thrust from all the impulse engines powered the Serenity into orbit
Epilogue[edit]
The information gained from the pirate computer was sent to Star Fleet intelligence and to the USS Traveller. The information from the reactor was sent to Star Fleet and Federation Naval Patrol. The Federation Naval Patrol and Star Fleet sent exploration teams and construction teams to start building a research base on the Ocean World. The Serenity stayed in orbit as the research base was being building until the USS Traveller came and relieved them and the Serenity headed back into space on a long range petrol.
