Idrani added on 52420.5: This is a follow-up report to the First Contact incident on-station. Our guest Klaer has been stablized in the Infirmary. He remains in a containment field to provide an environment somewhat warmer and more humid than the station's normal setting. This will assist in his recovery. The duty nurse reports that he should be released from the Infirmary sometime in the next week.

Klaer is from a planet known as Zuuphronia. The biological make-up appears to be similar to Terran cetaceans. Please refer to the medical reports for further biological data. The Zuuphronian people have been in conflict with a species known as the Khaltress which are described as large creatures covered with black fur quadraped on the lower body with two powerful extremities on the upper body. Klaer characterizes this species as expansionistic which practices slavery. Zuuphronia was invaded for its dilithium deposits. The Zuuphronians encountered this species over a century before the Exodus when the Zuuphronian survivors fled their planet after they had begun space-faring and had made allies with neighboring races. There had also been Zuuphronian colonies established. They had lost contact with their allies and colonies before the Khaltress attacked their planet. One of these allies known as the Talphinia had been conquered and enslaved by the Khaltress.

After a century of war with the Khaltress the Zuuphronians attempted to flee their homeworld in thirty large colony ships. This attempt failed and the colony ships were destroyed. The Zuuphronians traditionally peaceful artists and poets were adapting to fight the Kahltress but ultimately failed. The last survivors including Klaer presumably fled in stasis pods.

Initial scans on the stasis pod indicate that it has been in space for at least four hundred years maybe more. This estimation would put Zuphronian first contact with the Khaltress six hundred years ago. It should be noted that the Zuphronians appear to have very sophisticated data transfer programs built into the wrist bracers worn by Klaer. I have assurred him that no attempt to break into the memory core of the stasis pod will happen without his express permission.

Additionally Klaer describes a "song" which appears to be a highly developed telepathic link with the rest of his species. The fact that he cannot "hear the voices" of his people is a source of distress. The song is described as "The Song binds us and has existed from days before were sentient. It permeates every Zuuphronian. Every one of us has the entirety of the song within us but we all add our seperate notes to it our own melody's and inuendes. Each individual a note each family a chorus each city a stanza..... Ever flowing."

Klaer has been given the First Contact protocols which he immediately downloaded from the PADD to the computer in his bracer. He was also given the sensor data we had when we first detected the stasis pod as well as information about the comet's tragectory and path. Klaer states that when he is certain he can trust us he will give us access to his computer's memory core. I was prepared to file paperwork for requisition of political asylum but considering the timetable of events and the fact that none of these three species mentioned are anywhere on record that did not seem necessary. All the same I let him peruse the document so that he is aware that standards for such things exist in our government.

There is a certain level of anxiety in our guest which is perfectly understandable given the circumstances. On the whole the species strike me as very adaptable and social. The family and community bonds are likely quite strong the separation from his people is obviously a source of emotional and it is reasonable to assume physical distress. As the species has a long history of conflict and invasion an aggressive response to perceived threats is also likely and was witnessed earlier. I believe it is important to maintain a calm environment which has as little restriction as possible. He also needs ample opportunity to observe our social interactions in order to establish trust. I would suggest that he be billeted in civilian quarters when released from the Infirmary. However given that it is already established that the Zuuphronian computer technology is highly advanced and has already linked with the station's computer I would suggest heightening the security on classified and sensitive files.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Clough added on 52592.5: On Stardate 52592, two Romulan vessels contacted the station requesting medical aid while continuing through the Neutral Zone. The ships, a Medical Cruiser and a Starbird, had both sustained damage but remained operable. They were returning to Romulan Space with casualties from a recent battle and were incapable of treating all of the wounded without aid. A medical crew consisting of Doctor McNeill, Counselor Park, Ensign Zian, Sublieutenant Sukhar, and myself, and accompanied by Romulan Ambassador K'net-mauri were dispatched on the Thomas Paine to assist. Casualty estimates at the time of the initial communications with the ships were over five hundred. We reached the ships in two hours and were transported on board the Romulan Starbird, Kondor, where the majority of the injured were being seen to. We were greeted by Romulan Doctor T'elsor and split between various treatment rooms to offer what help we could for the wounded. After several hours of treatment, approximately one third of the injured had expired with more likely to follow. I estimate the fatality rate would have been greater by thirty percent or more if we had not been present to assist. All of the station's staff acted far above and beyond the call of duty, and Doctor T'elsor expressed his gratitude before we parted ways at the border of the Neutral Zone. Although the casualty rate was high, the mission should, overall, be considered successful. Any further questions that may arise regarding this mission may be directed to me.

I decided to ignore her comment and bring the meeting to a close. As I went to make my exit, she chose to insult my person. When I informed her that if she made one more remark, I would have her confined to the brig for the night, she threatened to 'recommend me to Counseling for mandatory coping sessions'. I therefore ordered Lieutenant Dakin to escort her to the brig.

It is hoped that Mr. Garrett will learn his lesson from this and deal with Starfleet Officers via the means offered him by the Station, Starfleet, and its affiliated consulates.

Additionally, it is my belief that Jackson provoked this altercation. His actions during the stand-off, and after Garrett's arrest were not those befitting his uniform, in my opinion. He openly spoke ill of a member of Command Staff before Junior Officers and Civillians and sought contact with myself and Mr. Garrett in security only a few minutes after Garrett's arrest.

The doors to the conference room were opened, revealing the Security detail assigned to the diplomatic meetings, apparently unconscious. A robed figure then entered the room, vaguely humanoid but with a shuffling gait. It seemed intent on approaching Ambassador S'terik. I interjected myself between the two after the Klingon ambassador was kind enough to lend me a weapon. I then called for additional Security, who arrived to the conference room in a timely fashion. The intruder was clearly more agitated by the presence of Ambassador VuQ'cheH and did seem as though it might attack him. The intruder removed its hood, revealing features that might be best described as a hybrid of a Vulcanoid and some type of insect. Ambassador S'terik identified this intruder as Ambassador S'ral. S'ral indicated that his purpose in coming was to speak with Ambassador S'terik. I interjected that given that this was an intrusion with one security officer already down, any conversations between S'terik and this S'ral should take place with a security containment field between them. S'ral was also warned that any further aggressive movements toward anyone on the station would result in being stunned with a phaser. S'ral was, however, agreeable to discussing his business in security. I was then asked by S'terik to order a site to site transport of S'ral to a holding cell. I did so, after conferring with the Security office. S'ral indicated that he wanted to speak with S'terik alone, but I suggested that S'terik allow Station Security to keep him on a monitor during this conversation. S'terik was agreeable to this, however he stated he wanted no audio feed. I imagine the details will be worked out with the Security duty officer on shift. Following the departure of the delegates, I gave my statement to Station Security.

She explained the condition by informing me that she had just experienced an acute bout of anxiety due to a phobia, which had been triggered just prior to entering the infirmary. She did not elaborate, so I do not know the cause, but her symptoms were as follows: pale complexion, trembling, dry mouth, elevated heart rate, high levels of epinephrine, etc. She may require additional innoculations, as the most recent ones she has recieved were 8 months ago, at Starfleet Academy. At the time, the other on-duty doctors in the infirmary were occupied with other patients, and I did not wish to cause my patient any further distress, so I requested that she return to the infirmary at another time, when it was quieter, to have an actual doctor review the scans I made to ensure that they were accurate, and to ensure that her innoculations are up-to-date. Further, I have recommended to her that she speak with a member of the Counseling staff. If she is to become an asset to the Rapid Response team, she /must/ learn to deal with her phobia, lest it immobilize her at a critical moment during her duties.

Subject: New Crew Members

Sirs,

As per your request I have been reviewing the procedures on the arrival of new crew members. I feel this would not be an issue if it weren't for the war. However, I feel the Starfleet might need to review it's procedures for crew transfers to the starbases. Since the majority of crew transfers for starbases take place via starships docking and people using the airlocks where transfers on starships are normally via a transporter system with a member of the crew in the transporter room to familiarize the new crew member with the ship.

We should know when to expect the new crew members. But we should not allow them on the starbase without either being escorted the Training Officer, Crew Management Officer, Counselor, or some other appropriate crew member. This may also help protect the bases from infiltration of shape shifters. The officer escorting the new member could then inform the new crew member of any standing orders on the base, make sure they find they're way to the physical, answer any questions they might have, plus help build the connection of comrades.

While this suggestion is obviously going to take additional time out of already busy schedules, I feel like this would be fairly easy to implement and provide the most return. Not only could we prevent some of the problems you've been seeing, but it would also give a local officer a chance to evaluate the new crewman as well.

P'Trell added on 52636.2: On our mission to upgrade the sensor bouy located in the Irdosian system, the Cape Fear picked up a distress signal from a unverified Federation merchant vessel calling itself the City of Gallup. Ordering the Cape Fear to Yellow alert we proceeded to the source of the distress call. When we arrived, we found nothing except debris and the engine trail of a second vessel that we can only assume was Dominion in origin given the engine signature. However sensors could pick up nothing. No increase in tachyon levels or any other standard cloaking device signatures were detected though this could have been due to the levels of sensor interference common in that area. Given the fact that we only had a runabout with a crew of four and the fact that there was no sign of the City of Gallup, I determined that the situation was likely a potential trap. I then ordered the Cape Fear to get the bouy deployed and online. After apprising Starbase 419 of our situation. We got the bouy online and were engaged by a Dominion attack fighter which we were able to evade in the oort cloud present in the system thanks to a rather ingenius plan involving the detonation of a small photon torpedo in addition to electronic countermeasures which muddied the Dominion vessel's sensors, devised by Ensign Varanya Ashilav and the flying prowess of Mr. Foster. Before leaving the system, we made some preliminary scans of the planet's surface. Our scans revealed at least one ground force batallion of Jem'Hadar. We also recieved a hail from a Federation combadge. The hail appeared to be accidentally initiated by an Irdosian native who had acquired the badge. Scans revealed no lifeforms not native to Irdosia barring the Jem'hadar but as sensor readings in that area are notrioisly difficult, the possibility does exist that survivors from eithet the City of Gallup or another Federation vessel may be present on the planet. Given the importance of our mission, I decided that the Cape Fear's first priority must be to get the new sensor bouy in place. Given that our presence was detected by the dominion and the relative size of the opposition compared to the runabout and crew, I gave the order to leave the system deeming a rescue attempt too risky without more information and manpower. I apprised Lt. Commander Edwards of the situation prior to the writing of this report.

I do not wish to speak out of turn again, especially when I'm nearly done with my waste reclamation duty. It has been 13 days since the order of no alcohol was issued and I have not seen a single rule infraction except for Ms. Aian which Mr. Havaris handled with expertise. While I still believe that we should maintain a state of readiness I am worried about the state of morale because of the ban. I've been reviewing the staff rotation and available personnel and have come up with two possible options that the senior staff may want to consider.

Since a thumbprint is required for payment we could limit the crew to a single drink per day after they have completed their shift. The other option would require a bit more paperwork but I would be willing to add it to my normal duties. By looking at the crew rotations we should be able to arrange a 48 hour window between duty shifts. Again by using the payment system we could limit the crew's consumption to the first 24 hours thereby giving them 24 hours to get it out of there system. By going to this type of rotation it would also allow the crew more consecutive recreation time.

I realize that my office is not responsible for crew morale and I'm sure the station's counselors could offer a better opinion of the overall feeling of the crew. But I would be happy to work with any department in any regard.

I accepted the sale and told her to process the sale however she might 'in the current climate'. She informed me she has ways of keeping things under the table. I have yet to verify if the sale was processed as a sale of alcohol, or a sale of some other beverage currently allowed for sale to Starfleeters aboard station. The bottle was wrapped and touched only by her, I will recover prints and a DNA sample if possible. It is currently held in Security's evidence lockup. I felt it necessary to purchase the alcohol on Starfleet's latinum for two reasons. Firstly, it demonstrates Aian's lack of cooperation with Commander Balin's orders to Starfleet Personnel and request for cooperation by the local merchants. Secondly, it allows us leverage and excuse to look more deeply into matters within the Neutral Zone in the course of the homicide investigation and any future investigations within the Zone.

Copies sent to the apporpriate civilian agencies on Dulcais Prime, as well as a copy to JAG as a courtesy.

Golden added on 52612.3: Lt. Ghorev, Ambassador S'Terik has asked for us to provide alternate accomodations for Ambassador S'ral. Though the official permission is still circulating through the proper channels, it seems likely that Ambassador S'Terik will get what he has asked for; and since he's asking for a small cargo bay or similar space, this will fall to your department to arrange. Lt Rivers' section will be available to assist in installing the appropriate security measures to the area you allocate once approval has been given, this is mainly a heads up courtesy filed at the Ambassador's request.

Rivers added on 52673.1: At approximately 0200 hours, Lt jg Golden and myself evicted Doctor Haven from the Infirmary, where she was evidently giving a physical for a new crewman. Lt jg Havaris had informed me earlier that the doctor had been relieved of duty pertaining to medical reasons, and that a security detail was to keep her from entering the infirmary or tending to any duty post, and that were she found in such capacity, she should be returned to her quarters. Doctor Haven immediately left the infirmary, although under some protest, as she claimed she had not been informed by anyone that she had been relieved of her duties. As Doctor Clough was herself a patient in the infirmary and unconcious, there was some question as to who had issued those orders. Doctor Haven was instructed to speak with Lt Havaris or Doctor Clough to the nature of their issuance.

Dakin added on 52617: Earlier tonight, the station recieved a distress call from the Federation civilian freighter Kris. The Kris reported sustaining heavy damage and injuries and requested assistance. We allowed them to dock and had their wounded tended to by Dr. Clough and her team. Meanwhile, we had determined that the damage to the Kris had been the result of Romulan weapons fire. Immediately following that discovery, the Romulan Warbird Kelchen'por arrived, claiming that the Kris had attacked their vessel while on escort duty for a convoy. Originally, the extent of the damage done to the Warbird seemed too extensive for the very minimally armed Kris, but the vessel's commander, Captain Zushal, claimed it was one of several ships participating in a concerted attack. After being told only that the Romulans had docked here, the ship's first officer... the ship's captain did not survive... became nervous and immediately requested asylum. Ensign Ashilav ran a background check on the crew and found the first officer was not only using a false identity but was on our list of suspected Orion Syndicate members. I immediately had my people take the crew into custody, minus the four crewmen that are still under medical care. I'm placing a request to Engineering that the Kris be examined bow to stern for anything out of the ordinary. The Kelchen'por remains docked here and intends to remain so until we can straighten this out, given the asylum request. I should point out that the Kris is equipped with a torpedo launcher that's not listed on its registration. Also, Captain Zushal specified that his request for extradition extended only to the Kris' officers. My thanks for Ensigns Kentoz and Ashilav for their work in this endeavor. At present, the Kris' crew are in custody, minus the aforementioned being treated in the infirmary, and the Romulan vessel is berthed here until they can affect repairs, tend their wounded, and see the conclusion to this.

This is a time of war, and as Starfleet officers we can be called at any time to do our duty. My officers will be prepared. Any officer caught drinking more than synthahol will have to answer directly to me. Any establishment serving alcohol to Starfleet officers when on or off duty will be closed. Any profits lost due to this measure will be settled with the Federation according to the 419 contract of establishment, article 2, paragraph six. Submit your losses to the Station Commander and you will be compensated. I appreciate everyone's cooperation in this regard.

Clough added on 52657.4: Starfleet Academy has provided additional medical information regarding Ensign Medes' hearing and implants. They are, in fact, cochlear in nature as suspected, with an "on/off" switch activated by an ear-tug. They have been in place for most of her life and were, apparently, serviced routinely until her entrance into Starfleet. The last recorded date of a maintenance and diagnostic checkup was eight years ago for her Academy entrance physical. It is my suggestion that Ensign Medes be scheduled for a full diagnostic examination of the implants. If there are no malfunctions, however, I feel it unnecessary to encourage further invasive surgery. Further questions may be directed to me. Thank you.

Idrani added on 52657.9: In tonight's diplomatic meeting, the issue of the SS Kris was brought up by the Romulan Ambassador K'net-mauri. The Star Empire is requesting the immediate extradition of the officers of the SS Kris to their vessel currently docked at the station. In addition, they would like the immediate return of one of their devices stolen by the SS Kris, which is described as something that masks life signs. I am assured by the Ambassador that Starfleet should be able to easily identify it and should 'quit playing with it and return it quickly.' I informed the Ambassador, that in the matter of the prisoners, as they are being prosecuted under Federation law for crimes in Federation space, I could not authorize the extradition until the legal process had run its course, without authorization from the Federation Council. We were able to reach a compromise, however, that the Star Empire would accept the extradition of the officers, except the captain, whom I am to understand is being held for capital crimes, and the immediate return of their stolen property. I would encourage that course of action, provided it will be agreed upon by the Federation Council. There is the matter of their request for political asylum, however, I believe by virtue of the fact that they are wanted for high crimes on /both/ sides of the border that this will be denied by the Federation Council.

Edwards added on 52670.2: After getting my crew in place, we set out on the USS Thomas Paine, joining a joint Starfleet/Romulan task force led by the USS Accountability on course for the Fimdari system, in an effort to wrest away control of the surrounding airspace from the Dominion. When we arrived in the system, we were met by a Dominion fleet of ten Jem'Hadar fighters and two Galor-class Cardassian warships. We engaged our assigned target, fighter 977841, and managed to destroy it in two passes with the help of some expert flying by Ensign Leah, insightful power adjustments by Lieutenant Foster at Ops, and sharpshooting from Lieutenant Havaris. Before we could celebrate, however, we noted four new Jem'Hadar fighters joining us from the planet. I ordered us to pull away, toward Fimdari's moon, in a successful attempt to get the Jem'Hadar to split their forces, as two fighters went around one side of the moon and the other two went around the other side to try and intercept us. While the move wasn't pulled off as well I had hoped -we tipped our hand too earlier as we engaged the two that followed, causing the other two to come bounding in too earlier- some timely assistance from the Accountability made the odds a little more even, as they destroyed two of the fighters. With two left, we prepared a strafing run, and thanks to a one in a hundred shot made of Mr. Havaris, destroyed both of the remaining fighters. The rest of the Dominion fleet had been taken care of by the rest of the task force, so we moved in toward Fimdari, lending assistance to the Andorian ground forces and picking up our stranded crewmen. I would like to note that the entire crew performed well above expectations, allowing us to come out of the battle without a casualty.

Poole added on 52672.2: I've delayed in this report a day to gather my thoughts on the mission, and to recall clearly what happened. It was a long three days. After the briefing, my team and I reported to the USS Sutherland. My team consisted of Ensign Blair, Ensign Medes, Ensign Turtledove, Lieutenant (jg) Park, and Ensign Idrani. We were to help in the building of defense structures on Fimdari. We arrived and met with a Lieutenant Aldin of the ADF, and began coordinating our efforts. Within two days we had built a line of trenches, a bunker and a phaser cannon, and shortly before we were to bring it operational, news of the USS Sutherland's apparent destruction reached us. I ordered the cannon brought online, and gathered my team within the defense bunker, which contained the controls for the cannon itself. I do not think I could have expected more from my team than what they gave. They served with distinction and without any hesitation. Medes was able to get the cannon itself online and Ensign Turtledove got several shots off, hitting transport vessels bringing Jem'Hadar troops to the battlefield. The ADF forces arrayed themselves in the trenches, using transport inhibitors to prevent the Dominion from beaming troops down. Unfortunately, we were not able to raise the shields on the cannon itself or the surrounding area. I do not think it would have bought us much more than a few minutes at most, however, and the system itself was likely faulty from creation. The troops landed and began cutting a swath across the trenches, and I knew there was nothing more I could do... not with the small team that I had. Instead I began arranging for a retreat through an escape tunnel in the basement of the bunker, extracting my team and as many ADF survivors as we could manage. Moments after we emerged from the tunnel, a ship in orbit destroyed the bunker and the cannon with a polaron burst. For the next day and a half, we were on the move until we reached a cave that was being set up as a base of operations for the resistance effort. All of my team members spent time on sentry duty and scouting, occassionaly participating in small skirmishes. On the third day of the invasion, a scouting team composed of Ensign Turtledove and Chaka Endilev, an ADF officer, discovered a Cardassian/Jem'Hadar hunting party. Using this tactical knowledge, the ranking ADF officer at the base Chakev Kaleth and I formulated an ambush plan, using Turtledove's team as bait. She lead them into a path between two high bluffs, where we lay in wait and took down the entire team. Miraculously, or so I think, we managed to capture a Cardassian officer, who we interrogated under sedatives back at the base. Due to this and efforts by Blair and Medes with the Cardassian officer's com system, we discovered that Andorian children were being taken to a rendevous point nearby. From there they would have been taken to an 'Experimental Base X19' where the Dominion is trying to create ketrecel white. I shudder to think whether the children would have been used as labor... or in the experiments themselves. I was able to get the coordinates from the Cardassian officer and have attached them to the bottom of this report. In any case, a rescue attempt was mounted, whereupon my team and the ADF forces in the area set upon a shuttlecraft being loaded full of andorian youngsters. We were able to knock out all the officers, who were largely cardassian, with heavy stun. Ensign Idrani, whom I instructed to take the shuttlecraft at all costs, was successful, and brought down the pilot before he could escape with his precious cargo. During all this my other officers gathered the children and the ADF, for a hasty retreat back to our base of operations. Hours later we were recovered by a team from the USS Thomas Paine. I would like to take the time here to commend all of the officers who served on this mission. Lieutenant (jg) Park ran out when the Dominion troops were wiping out the ADF forces in the trenches, during the most bitter part of the initial invasion. He brought back a wounded man at the risk of his own life. From there he became a surgeon, working in the triage areas set up and saving many lives. Ensign Medes worked with Ensign Blair to crack the Cardassian communications systems, thereby allowing us to discover this 'Experimental Station X19 and rescue the children. In addition to this they still managed to build a phaser cannon, the defense bunker and lines of trenches, despite rather horrid environmental conditions. Without them we would have been lost. Ensign Turtledove showed immense courage, holding her position in the phaser cannon's control area until she absolutely had to evacuate. In addition to this, she lead many scouting and foray missions. She also kept us safe as our team worked on the initial construction before the invasion. Lastly, but surely not least, Ensign Idrani served well in both a command and a diplomatic capacity. She kept the operation running smoothly from the get-go, ironing out some of the differences of opinion between our team and the ADF forces in the area. Once the invasion occured, she again functioned as intermediary, keeping the resistance forces, both Federation and ADF, working as a team. Also, she, showing immense personal courage, was the one who took control of the shuttlecraft about to getaway with 34 Andorian children. She had to get past two cardassians outside, four whom we didn't know about just inside and the pilot. Her bravery is the model that all starfleet officers should follow. Below this section of the report I've included more detailed tactical information about the base, the initial battle and a casualty estimate. The coordinates I described are above as well, I do hope they are well and duly noted by Command. This Experimental Station needs to be shut down. It goes without saying that the emergence of another supply of ketracel white in our sector would be a serious tactical blow to our cause.

Dakin added on 52427.8: At approximately 1230 hrs. this morning I was alerted in Ops of weapons fire of both phaser and disruptor energy signature. The location was Level 15 room 1511. Those would be the quarters of Neutral Zone proprietor Rade Noonan. At Lt. Ghorev's order I dispatched a team to investigate. As they arrived internal sensors picked up a massive concentration of epsilon radiation in the room upon which I instructed my officers to stand by while I had EVA suits rushed to them. Once inside my people discovered the bodies of Mr. Noonan and Brect the Ferengi who worked as a gardener in the Mall. Cause of death appears upon prelim to be weapons fire... presumptive theory being that the two shot each other at roughly the same time. The source of the radiation was discovered to be a cylindrical device 30 cm in length. The device emitted the radiation for a period of three minutes before going inert. Forensic findings are unfortunately minimal as the radiation destroyed any inobvious physical evidence. I'm putting in a request that Engineering go over the device so as to determine its origin or anything else about it. In addition I want Brect and Noonan's personal histories gone over with a high level of scrutiny. I believe there may be more than meets the eye here. I also am requesting an autopsy on Noonan from Medical. In addition given Ferengi custom I'm putting in a request for an autopsy with Ambassador Lux in case we may get some form of leeway. Also of note an interview with Counselor Yasharra Gellan an officer with whom Noonan was involved revealed that Noonan was planning on leaving the station possibly permanently.

While Conversing with a number of officers, I came to the discovery that many of them, like me, recieve family 'care packages' fairly reguarily. As much as shipping allows, anyways. It is something that many look foreward to. But I thought we could take it a few steps further and make it a morale bossting event.

1) Once a month, we could set aside an area for a Bazaar, where Officers can trade and barter things from their care packages with other officers and their care package items. Not only does this allow for many officers to get things they may have not gotten yet wanted, but it also allows for many officers who have never met in a social environment to do so.

2) Ask for officers to donate a small single items from their care packages. Whatever is collected could be spread to officers who don't receive care packages and.or may not have any living families. The donations wouldn't be mandatory and they would be anonymous.

Poole added on 52674.8: Aaron Park has a reputation already for being selfless in dangerous situations. His service record indicates his ship was attacked by three Galor class warships and was nearly destroyed. He risked his life to evacuate four wounded crewmen from the Engineering section. I was witness to this selflessness on Fimdari. Lt. Park ran out into the trenches and pulled back an injured ADF officer, despite the Jem'Hadar death squads that were sweeping towards the bunker we were in. In addition to this, he worked non-stop, as in without any rest, in the triage set up in the resistance base. Without his skills and dedication, we would have lost many more lives. Because of this, and because I was his commanding officer during the mission, I feel it my duty to praise him, and recommend him for a commendation or possibly even a medal.
