Complications of the mind meld on the Borg Sphere result in Lieutenant T'Coran being admitted to the Infirmary. In the third event of the WorkBee Rodeo, Commander Scott Wozniak has been disqualified for losing his cargo during his run. Lt. Stargrabber suffers from another flashback.

Thursday, 03/27/2003:

The Work Bee Rodeo continues. The five events of the Rodeo are: Parts Recovery, cleaning sensor panels, a race towing N'tran around pylons one, two, and three, precision cargo handling, and acrobatics. There is an SOS from Ensign Kolidok, adrift in a disabled workbee. Captain Wozniak responds, and eventually locates the Workbee. Ensign Woods wins the acrobatics, performing ballet in a Workbee to the music of Swan Lake. Cadet Xerys Rauxane wins the race towing N'tran around the pylons, with a heavily modified workbee.

Welcome to Ensign Ches'saro Seeto. Ensign Sinar Kolidok's workbee is finally brought into the hanger bay on Deep Space Twelve, by Captain Ken Wozniak. Lieutenant Volok is reprimanded. The Infirmary has several patients, including Lieutenant T'Coran, and turns more chaotic, with party preparations and the arrival of a Ferengi, bleeding, with burns, a bumped head and a missing tooth. Deep Space 12's Bar owner, Quezak, did not have a very good evening. More Nausicaans are transferred off the station. The operation is organized by a female Nausicaan Starfleet officer, Ensign Rakka.

Thursday, 04/10/2003:

Welcome Warrant Officer d'Nyal Tuk, Intelligence. It is established that Lieutenant T'Coran came into contact with nanoprobes, though these nanoprobes should have been inactive. Medical Staff's party, in the Replimat attracts more people and gets rather rowdy. N'tran comes up with another rock song. The storyline "Infiltration" begins.

Thursday, 04/17/2003:

N'Tran asks Trelien is asked if T'Coran could have come into contact with some of his nanoprobes, and he replies in the affirmative. It is revealed that T'Coran is becoming assimilated. In the mean time, the medical staff party is having a slow start, but soon gets going great guns when some of the crew begin drinking games. 4 of 10 awakes after being de assimilated and wanders out of the Infirmary. Dr. Gard and Ensign Smithers appear at the medical staff party and are both promoted. About that time a couple of new crew members arrives on the station. Intel Officer, WO2 d'Nyal Tuk, tracks down the Captain at the medical staff party so he can report in. Also showing up at the party is 4 of 10. The new Intel officer is a Borg hunter and he instinctively wants to confront the ex Borg and is stopped by Lt. Smithers. Also arriving at the party is a new Security officer, a Nausicaan by the name of Ensign Rakka.

Thursday, 04/24/2003:

Word of the assimilation of T'Coran is leaking out of the Infirmary, causing some concern for WO2 d'Nyal Tuk. Commander N'Tran is pumping 4 of 10 for information on how the assimilation process works. During the ceremony to promote Ensign Smithers and Dr. Gard, the doctor's pips are slam dunked into PO1 Quanos beer mug, to the amusement of everyone. It comes to light that the new Intel officer, d'Nyal Tuk has information on Borg activity in the area that he is to present at a briefing the next day. With the Borg activity in the area of Deep Space 12, StarFleet is concerned that Section 31 maybe conducting an operation involving the Borg or Borg technology on Deep Space 12 and possibly Deep Space 9 as well. In the Infirmary T'Coran is having frightening nightmares as her assimilation continues. WO3 Fred Figg returns to the station and finds that the new Intel operation is now available to use. When he tracks down the newest arrival to be assigned to Deep Space 12, WO2 Tuk, he also finds the XO with him. N'Tran pays him in gold coin for eating the hole in the wall of the Intel complex. The winners of the work bee rodeo are announced. The Marines are slowly being transferred off the station, it being decided that Security can handle any situation that arises. While in Ops, Cmdr. N'Tran notices an energy spike and dispatches Lt. Fox to investigate. A new set of pips is found for Cmdr. N'Tran who has lost his when his are hit by phaser fire from a Nausicaan, in a bar fight at Orion's Belt.

Thursday, 05/01/2003:

Suddenly for no reason the doors aboard the station start to randomly open and close of their own accord. In Ops a surge is discovered in the sensors that is making the doors open and close. Worried about the fire in Pylon 4, N'Tran hurries to that location to contain toxic fumes that are escaping. Ensign Woods is monitoring the Ops console trying to track down the cause of this data surge. Lt. Fox reports in that the energy spike detected appears to have come from the complete destruction of a large ship. It is discovered that the doors opening and closing is being caused by some sort of strange signal being sent to the station. Captain Wozniak heads to the Infirmary to check on T'Coran. Cmdr. N'Tran is given a gift for his help in negotiations for the Ferengi which turns out to be a Horta egg. People start arriving for the briefing by WO2 Tuk on Borg activity in the area. Lt. Fox calls for someone to come collect samples of the ship that has blown up and then starts out to follow an ion trail leading away from the scene of destruction. He loses the trail when he discovers that the ship has gone to warp and his fighter can not keep up with it. He is about to return to the station when another ship drOps out of warp right above him. At the briefing, N'Tran is showing off his new found egg. Lt Cmdr. Diesel was sitting in for Lt. Shale of engineering when it is discovered that she is missing from the station. WO2 Tuk gives his briefing. In the Infirmary, a large tank opens spilling biomemetic compound all over the floor in a tidal wave of blue gel.

Thursday, 05/08/2003:

WO2 Tuk reveals that the Borg has "assimilated" the use of cloaking technology and also that it is believed that a splinter cell of Section 31 is fooling around with using Borg transwarp conduits for their own purposes. Also that known Intel Agents have been disappearing. Lt Kolmik states that he has known most of this for a while. He also states that he has liberated the plans for "plugs", or Genesis Torpedoes, for the conduits from Section 31. While he was at it he erased their copies of their plans with a nasty "virus" for their computer. Deep Space 12 is tasked with mapping the conduits in their area. Cmdr. N'Tran states that he believes Kolmik's virus might have slowed down Section 31, but not stopped them. Is is wondered if the disappearances of Lt. Shale and Lt. Varlem might have something to do with this splinter cell. Rebecca Woods finds her cat, Phoebe. It is determined that T'Coran has another entity inside her and there is talk of how to separate the two. The doors on the station are still opening and closing on their own. Kolmik discloses that he has already use one of his "plugs" to close a conduit on the Borg, and proposes sending a probe to find out just what had happened at the destruction of the conduit. A message comes in from Lt. Fox reporting that a ship has dropped out of warp almost on top of him. The briefing breaks up when the doors of the conference room keep opening and closing on their own and they believe the room is not secure. Figg and Tuk are put in charge of sending the probe to where the Genesis Torpedo has been used. Lt. Kolmik is called to the maternity ward. While on the way to Ensign Woods' quarters after finding the location of her cat, the turbolift malfunctions and Rebecca hurts her hip in the fall. Cmdr. N'Tran tries to contact Lt. Fox and gets no response. He asks Ops to investigate. N'tran then heads to Science to research assimilation where he finds that above Drones, but below the Queen, there are amplifiers of the Queen's orders. These Borg are a step closer to Perfection, than the drones. They seem to exist as a computer program of a mental pattern, or consciousness deposited in a mechanical shell. Unclear which. These "more perfect" Borg seem to be important to the Collective. The ship that has dropped out of warp near Lt. Fox contains Lt. Shale. They decide that they need to talk before returning to Deep Space 12, hence why N'Tran cannot reach Lt. Fox. Suddenly a Borg Sphere appears outside Deep Space 12. The station goes to Red Alert. The new sphere has appeared at the same coordinates as the last one the 4 of 10 was on before it was destroyed. Lt. 's. Fox and Shale bravely, or foolishly decide to try to distract the Borg Sphere to give the station time to ready their defenses. Lt. Kolmik becomes the Father of a bouncing baby boy.

Thursday, 05/15/2003:

Intelligence launches probes toward the Borg Bowl, and a communication comes in from the Bowl, a Borg Queen is making an offer to make a trade. In planning for the Away Team mission to rescue Lt. Shale, the use of projectile weapons is proposed by Ensign Sorgman. Lt. T'Coran has been fully assimilated. Negotiations between the Queen and the Captain have begun. The proposal includes the trade of the "General" for T'Coran and Lt. Shale. The Nispel is launched on an Intel mission toward the Bowl and the Oasis Star soon follows them out on a separate rescue mission in an attempt to retrieve Lt. Shale.

Thursday, 05/22/2003:

Intel's probe detects Lt. Shale's Bio signature inside the Borg Bowl. The second rescue plan is now put into motion. The existence of more than one Borg Queen is confirmed. Also a theory is developed regarding the entity that resides within T'Coran. It is known that Drones are the third ranking, tertiary, with the Queen ranked as primary, the Generals should be ranked secondary. The U.S.S. Hubble cloaks and starts toward the Bowl. Lt. Kolmik abducts a Drone and beams back to the Nispel with plans to attempt to De-assimilate the drone.

Thursday, 05/29/2003:

The rescue team on the Oasis Star has docked at the Borg Bowl. Two more Spheres have emerged from the Transwarp Conduit and beam Shale and the Queen away from the Bowl which self destructs. The two Orion class scouts take shelter behind the station and ride out the subspace shockwave behind the station. Captain Wozniak agrees to make the trade for Shale.

Thursday, 06/05/2003:

The Subspace shockwave from the self destruction of the Borg Bowl shakes up the station and the two scouts hiding behind it. The Captain and Dr. Gard launch in the Beeblebrox to deliver the General to the Sphere. The Borman also launches to assist the Beeblebrox if needed. On the way there, the Captain and company are beamed off the Beeblebrox by long range transporter to the Borg Sphere. The Borman detects the beam out and increases to maximum warp toward the Sphere. Intel continues to analyze the Borg "Song". 4 of 10 acts very much like he is drunk after eating a piece of pumpkin pie.

Thursday, 06/12/2003:

The Borg keep their part of the bargain, removing the General, and not attacking Deep Space Twelve. The U.S.S. Frank Borman transports Captain Wozniak, Doctor Gard, and Lieutenants Shale and T'Coran off the Borg Sphere, then starts back to the station, as the Borg Spheres turn and set course toward the Transwarp conduit access point. It is also learned that certain spices in pumpkin pie have a psychoactive effect on members of Species 125, raising the possibility of chemical warfare against the Borg Queen.

Thursday, 06/19/2003:

Ensign Sorgman attempts to gain permission to replicate a TR-116. Permission is refused, since the TR-116 is still classified. Salvage operations start on the wreckage of the Borg Bowl.

Thursday, 09/18/2003:

The U.S.S. Cutlass has locked onto the U.S.S. Vanguard and Captain Wozniak as well as repair and medical teams have beamed over. The Runabout has been released from the tractor beam of the U.S.S. Cutlass and has taken up position very close to the U.S.S. Vanguard. After a brief discussion with Captain Morgan, Captain Wozniak has learned a great deal and a lot of unanswered questions have been answered. The U.S.S. Cutlass takes the U.S.S. Vanguard in tow and sets course for Deep Space 12 at full impulse. Shortly after the ships get under way, the U.S.S. Vanguard explodes. Half of her crew are killed and Lt.(jg) Smithers, PO Welty, Ensign Black are injured. Ensign Sage and Ensign Siklver are both killed in the explosion.

Continuing negotiations between the Cardassians and the Huk'Nar become strained. The LMH has returned once again, this time played by another player. Welty and Lt. Smithers just barely escape the U.S.S. Vanguard. A Tholian ship has just arrived accusing the Vanguard of attacking their disabled ship remaining inside the Ion storm. The Warp core from the U.S.S. Vanguard survived the explosion and is drifting. The Hawkeye is dispatched to try and pick it up.

Thursday, 10/02/2003:

Captain Morgan becomes very uncooperative when questioned about the Tholian ship that is threatening the Cutlass. The Ambassador has hijacked the Hawkeye and begins talking with the Tholian ship before it sets a course back to Deep Space 12. Lt.(jg) T'Mal continues a meeting with 1 of 2 'informants' in the Orion's Belt. Captain Wozniak orders the Warp core from the Vanguard destroyed as it floats near the Tholian ship. The Tholian ship is disabled and allows the Cutlass to go to warp in pursuit of the Hawkeye.
