USS Hades (NX-60637)

The Hades is currently still in spacedock having the finishing touches put on her by Phoenix engineers with assistance from some of those in the Mystique engineering department. Real time and official launch date of the Hades is Nov. 1 2006. While the ship is being completed the crew is still based on the Mystique awaiting the upcoming nuptials for CMO Vren Marto and OPS Chief Travis Keswick.

The Hades shakedown cruise will find the crew returning to Beta Seranis 4 at sector coordinates 023346358.

Beta Seranis 4 showed symptoms of a terraformed planet with a deteriorating magnetosphere indicative of instability. Attempts to explore the planet ended prematurely as the Mystique was recalled to Geneva.

The planet harbors a single sentient lifeform heretofore undetected that is highly advanced (No more on that at this time.)

After the encounter with this lifeform the Hades will encounter a new race of beings called the Myenru who will be journeying to the planet. The Myenru had at one time an outpost on the planet which was subsequently destroyed (The reason and method will be found on the planet). The Myenru are warlike and militantly religious, both of these traits will result in an attack on the ship.

This will be played out as a "Balance of Terror" type of scenario, the Myenru with seven ships and a "Secret weapon" against the Hades and her superior technology and capabilities. The Myenru will not accept communication contact and their features will never be seen, that will be saved for a later time.

I believe it will make for some exciting and tense times on the ship and I know our crew can do it justice.

(USS Mystique - Deck 3, Holodeck 2 - USS Hades CO, Captain Saleke - 2130)

Saleke stood in a relaxed posture, his hands cupped behind his back as he watched the stag party continue to unfold before him. The two parties, Klingon and StarFleet no longer were standing completely in isolated and exclusive groups but had begun to mingle within the great cavern after Senior Counselor Riven Mias had "Broken the ice" as the colloquialism went by mounting one of the great stone tables and had related a tale of Travis Keswicks exploits while under his authority, T'Gokh the adopted brother of Travis had then related a story of his own that added to his brothers exploits.

Out of the corner of his eye he noted Baylon Trinins move to the near table where he picked up one of the bottles of liquor he had brought to the gathering and took a drink, after pouring another glass he sipped at it as he turned back to watch the affair. The Betazoid had reported only yesterday and had been installed as the assistant to the chief of security under Lieutenant Fredericks. Up to this point the Betazoid had acqitted himself well, if he continued his present course he had the makings of a good StarFleet officer.

Travis' adopted brother T'Gokh and another Klingon were nearby, T'Gokh had moved to talk with Travis after relating his tale and the Klingon that had kicked the Horta ACSO Maraht thinking him to be a boulder and then after eating one of the chocolates Maraht had ordered up had wandered a short distance away. Dr. Riven Mias had left the tabletop he had been standing on and was tilting the flagon of Bloodwine again, he was now surrounded by laughing Klingons.

The CSO Holis Gralen stood to one side of that group watching with a smile, Riven's actions appeared to incite a good natured wager as several of the Klingons started a drinking contest, the one who quaffed the most bloodwine without passing out in the next twenty minutes would announce the grooms arrival at the wedding the next day. Captain Morgot watched their actions with a piercing look. Maraht, Ashlitu Physioc and the prospective brides brother Dora were in a knot nearby talking. Saleke moved away from the group and walked to the Klingon HoD.

"Captain Morgot."

The Klingon turned to him with a guarded look. "Captain Saleke this party appears to be getting underway finally, my men at first did not know whether to fight or feast... either one would have suited them."

The Vulcan nodded. "Understood however there seems to be little feasting going on as of yet, I have seen much drinking though."

The Klingon bared his teeth in a feral grin. "They are just getting loosened up, after they have drunk for a while they will be hungry."

Saleke nodded after a moment. "Alcohol does have that effect I have heard. I assume there are contingency plans in case of a clash."

Morgot chuckled, a deep rumble from his chest. "Any who misbehave will find themselves in the sandpit as you well know Captain, men I station around the pit will then get to strike at them with impunity if they attempt to leave it."

An eyebrow arched at that. "The troublemaker is punished while others of your men are allowed to burn off aggression at their expense, logical in light of Klingon customs I suppose."

Morgot tilted his flagon of Bloodwine and took a long draught then wiped his mouth with the back of his arm before speaking again. "Speaking of drinking I see you with nothing." He turned to the table he was standing near and grabbed a flagon of the Klingon liquor and pushed it into the Vulcan's chest. "Drink up Captain, surely you would not insult my house by not partaking of our refreshments!"

Saleke could see he had been deftly cornered, he took the handle of the flagon and tilted his head with a studying glance at Morgot before raising the mug to his lips, the scent of it was strong with alcohol, the taste of it was as if flavored with bitters and heavy with tanins. After taking a sip during which he carefully controlled his reaction he noted Morgot relax a bit, the Klingon captain gave a grin after the next sip and slapped him on the shoulder which caused a bit of the liquor to slosh upon the stone floor. "There! That wasn't so bad was it? Before long I'll have you drinking like a Klingon!" With that he gave a loud guffaw and tilted his mug back, some of the brew overflowing his mouth.
