Deep Space 44 Renamed Plus A New Potential Enemy

Captain's Log - Stardate 27890.0033

Telaxia 4 Asteroid Belt Station has been officially renamed from Deep Space 44 to Deep Space 51 as Starfleet Medical & Starfleet Academy prepare to set up shop on the station.

In other news.....

* Lt. Ezra Dax has been reassigned by Starfleet from Deep Space 9 to Deep Space 51 since Dax is the host body of a symbiant trill. Shortly upon arrival, I fulfilled my need for a First Officer by promoting Dax to the rank of Commander.

* One of the reasons why Dax was reassigned to the station is because it is believed that the Telaxians may have found a way which would make it possible for Starfleet to safely transport a symbiant trill & its host using a standard transporter system. After much resistance & reluctance from both the Symbiant Society & Starfleet Medical, they agreed to go ahead with the project. Dax was reassigned by Starfleet to serve as the volunteer for the project.

Because of this project, my promotion of Dax to First Officer merely bought Starfleet time to find a suitable candidate should the project not be successful & Dax is lost, which isn't easy because ranking officers are hard to find.

* It appears as though the station (And perhaps all of Starfleet) may have yet another foe to battle. This time it is the Sutran. According to Starfleet records, they assigned a high-ranking officer to the U.S.S. Enterprise, who unbeknownst to Starfleet (And ultimately the Enterpise crew itself), was (Somehow) infiltrated by the Sutran, affecting his mental capacities. The Sutran was (And still is) in battle with the Lyssians, who are at least 100 years behind us in weapons & other defense technologies (And as such, are a threat to no one).

During my conversation with Admiral Harrison (Who - According to his service record - HAS BEEN DEAD FOR NEARLY A CENTURY), my Security Chief came into my office with an armed security detail (Acting on orders from Admirals Jensen & Hollenbeck) to detain Admiral Harrison (Or the imposter claiming to be Admiral Harrison) by putting him/it in the brig.

During a pause in my sub-space conversation with Admiral Jensen, Admiral Harrison became vehemtly defensive (It didn't take a telepath to see it either). I started questioning him & even pointed out that Admiral Jensen just levied some SERIOUS charges against Admiral Harrison. This made him defensive & nervous. In fact, it made him so defensive, he became angry & began to raise a sharp object I had laying loose on a stand in the office. After pulling my phaser & taking the object away from him, I ordered my Security Chief take Admiral Harrison (Or what MAY NOW BE THE IMPOSTER THEREOF) into custody with orders to KILL if there is resistance. CMO Dr. Langley subsequently ordered that, due to his/its potential mental instability, he/it be transferred to the maximum security penal colony on Telaxia 3 pending a hearing on where he/it will be sent from there.

BTW.....The topic of conversation between Admiral Harrison (Or the imposter thereof) was about the possible use of Temporal Weapons by the Lyssians for destructive purposes. The source of the weapons was (According to him/it) was believed to be from a series of outposts located in Echo Quadrant.

His/its sources - STARFLEET INTELLIGENCE.

As he/it was being escorted out of my office, he/it vowed that this would not be the last time we would see the Sutran. He went on to say that the Sutran will declare war against the Federation. I replied by indicating to him/it that we already have a plethora of enemies, nuances & other foes from the remnants of the old Borg collective to The Ferengi to The Centari to The Dominion, so what's one more. I also told him/it that we've been waiting for a chance to test our battle readiness in a non-simulated environment so if he/it felt as though he and/or his people can bring it, go ahead & do so because WE WILL BE READY & WAITING.

In the meantime.....By the time you get this, I will have already contacted SI & will undoubtedly be awaiting a reply. Right now, there is no confirmation on the imposter's claims either way but the matter is nevertheless being investigated. I will post back here with any news on this as I get it.

Till then.....
