Summary:
2392.07.07:
In an attempt to convince the Delta One crew that an entity is controlling them, Commander Jalando and Counsellor Aslam beamed on board the Starbase, trying to reach Deck 26, where this entity was located. Unfortunately, Lieutenant Arquette and Ensign Gatto managed to stop the Solstice officers from reaching their location. A verbal battle followed, and with every passing moment, it became more and more apparent that Mr. Arquette and Ms. Gatto would not listen to the Solstice Officers.
That was, until Lieutenants Vrass and Vok, who had made a daring escape from their so-called guest quarters, disrupted the atmospheric controls inside the cargobay where this entity lived. The entity's control over the Delta One and Solstice crew who had been infected, lessened, and eventually disappeared when the entity reverted to a smaller form. This entity was then brought on board the Solstice, behind quarantine fields, to find bring it to Pandora Station for studying. The Delta One crew returned to normal, although some of the tension between the Solstice and Delta One crews remained. . . since all still remembered what happened.
2392.07.08:
The USS Solstice jumped to Transwarp, a day later than planned. OPS Arquette came to apologise to Commander Jalando, and vice versa. All seemed to be well. . . but what the crew didn't know, was that an offspring of the entity now in the Solstice's quarantine bay (called 'the Overlord') survived, and was holding on to the outside of the Solstice, only to let go somewhere along the journey back to Pandora. . . to continue its existence.
2392.08.24:
Engineer Ta'agk scared some of the crew by crawling through the Jeffries tubes. It would seem that the crew didn't like encountering a 'monster' like him in the early hours. . . Also, Reporter Darnena discovered that she has a disease which will cause her to die. Not immediately, but in the near future. According to medical estimations, she has 3 to 7 years left. She asked Doctor Vok not to tell anyone. . .
2392.08.28:
Captain Kane, preparing for his final days as Captain of Pandora Station, received word that Commander Jalando wouldn't become his successor, and that the current FO of Pandora Station would be transferred to the USS Odyssey, as First Officer. The latter was not happy about that at all.
2392.09.15:
As one of the final acts of being Captain of Pandora Station, Captain Kane promoted Lieutenant Arquette to Lieutenant Commander. The Chief of OPS would also transfer, and become Chief of Operations on board the Odyssey. With him would go Communications Officer Gatto and XGO Underhill, to fill both their positions on board the Intrepid Class Starship.
2392.09.18:
Both Arquette and Gatto were fully aware that this was their last night on Pandora Station.
2392.09.19:
Commander Jalando and the man he was sent to replace, Captain Denebris, talked about the Odyssey, Jalando's leaving, and the Valkyrie: the place where Captain Denebris will go to. Reluctantly, Jalando walked around Pandora Station one last time, to say goodbye. The following morning, he would have to report to the Odyssey. 2392.09.19 would be his final day as First Officer on board Pandora Station.
Also on the 19th, Lieutenant Commander Arquette and Ensign Gatto entered the Transporterroom to say goodbye to Transporter Operator Dran, and to beam to the Odyssey. A new chapter had begun for these officers. Goodbye Pandora, hello Odyssey.
