 //Game was 8/6/20. The session was shorter this time as we had two conversations out-of-game involving what the players wanted to do next. I had toyed with the idea of them crewing the //Varich// while the //Solstice// was repaired, but half of the players were adamant that they didn't want to leave their ship and Sola to others. Instead they'll likely take the //Varich// on the scouting mission and then focus on some dangling plotlines from the starbase and New P'Jem, with the possibility of a 'gloss-over' of downtime. // //Game was 8/6/20.

 +=====Summary=====
 +The Solstice reels from the vented explosion as the staff scramble to stabilize and figure out what just happened. Shan'taar and Jessa figure out the explosive agent used and the amount. The Solstice stabilizes and Phillip guides her into spacedock.
 +
 +The senior officers along with personnel from their escort ships are summoned for a briefing with the Admiral and Jen Kras attempts to explain her involvement in what happened. afterward the staff is split between investigating the bomb or ship repair. Ssleestak and K'tral discover it will take months of repair and upgrades before the Solstice is fully spaceworthy again. While presenting their repair plan to the Captain, all senior officers are abruptly summoned back to the Admiral's conference room, along with the four religious heads of New P'jem; they are then told of the attacks on Earth and Starbase 375. Phillip is informed privately that his parents are all right, as they had called in.

 Admiral [[trek:characters:tkonra|T'konra]] orders the senior officers to report to Operations for a briefing. Mel glances at K'tral and realizes she isn't even paying attention and her body language practically screams, "Fuck off, I'm busy." Mel notes at that point that she's served with [[trek:characters:saval|Saval]] a little too long but passes the order on to the other senior officers and motions for Jen to accompany them as well. They then depart the //Solstice// while Ssleestak and K'tral continue performing emergency repairs. Thirty minutes after the explosion, K'tral has stabilized the EPS grid while Ssleestak has shut down the warp core.  Admiral [[trek:characters:tkonra|T'konra]] orders the senior officers to report to Operations for a briefing.

-Meanwhile, the senior officers of the //Solstice// and the command and executive officers of the //Boston//, the //Sacramento//, the //Montgomery Scott//, the //Pulsar//, the //Renegade//, and Starbase 212 gather in the main conference room just off Operations. Lieutenant Commander [[trek:characters:elias|Elias Vaughn]] of Starfleet Intelligence is also present, as is Commander [[trek:characters:hall|Christopher Hall]] of the //USS Phoenix// and Commander [[trek:characters:sook|Arlene Sook]] of Starfleet Judge Advocate General. Admiral T'konra looks at Mel and says, "Please provide your situation report." Fal slides over the padd of data, which the admiral takes but says, "I meant since your departure." Mel runs down their trip to the mysterious coordinates, and then explains the coordinates were to the planet Kordikar.

 After that, she says wryly, "And then things went a little off course." She details their temporal shenanigans, the Iconian Gate, the temporary erasure of her ship from time itself, the appearance of the //USS Solstice-A//, and the arrival of the //Boston//, the //Sacramento//, and the //Montgomery Scott//. Captain [[trek:characters:aaron|Aaron Englyss]] of the //USS Boston// then explains their departure from Starbase 211 three months ago, thanks to a 'temporal warning.' Mel then finishes her report and concludes, "Basically, the Prophets said so." After that, she says wryly, "And then things went a little off course."

-The senior officers of the //Solstice// disembark and return to Operations. By 1955 hours, the senior officers of every ship, the starbase itself, and the four religious leaders of the New P'Jem colony – First Minister [[trek:characters:solor|Solor]], Vedek [[trek:characters:kasta|Kasta Pomm]], Pastor [[trek:characters:gouchard|Etienne Gauchard]], and [[trek:characters:mkor|M'Kor]], son of Korak – are gathered in operations. Ssleestak's paranoia kicks in and he starts scanning the room with his tricorder. He is not alone, but Mel spots him and says, "Scan harder." She makes it clear she supports his actions completely. Ssleestak and K'tral linger near the door, but then K'tral realizes [[trek:characters:tomerix|Tomerix]], the executive officer of the //Pulsar//, is Romulan, not Vulcan. She eyes him warily, but he does not approach her.+The senior officers of the //Solstice// disembark and return to Operations.

 Once everyone is present, Admiral T'konra announces, "At 1947 hours, Earth's power grid went down completely. The planet is defenseless, and all evidence suggests this is a precursor to a Dominion attack. Earth is not the only victim of sabotage, another bomb detonated on Starbase 375. One-fourth of the starbase was destroyed, but initial reports indicate only one fatality: the commanding officer, Admiral [[trek:characters:hahn|Hahn]]. Effective immediately, this starbase and all ships are now at red alert for the foreseeable future." Once everyone is present, Admiral T'konra announces, "At 1947 hours, Earth's power grid went down completely.
