<p class="MsoNormal">Planet Crusher (or the last Doomsday
Machine) 2326 After Action Report<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Stardate 98258.97<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Captain of EFS Golan<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our patrol in sector 2326 near the Tholian
Will border, on a heading of 055, at warp factor 3, was going
smoothly, no activity to report from our neighbour. Crew was
looking forward to the next shore leave at the end of this
patrol. At chrono .54 tactical reported a strange reading at
bearing 065, the initial data showed a very large and diffuse
energy source moving very slowly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The recognition system toke a long moment
before suggesting a Planet Crusher type entity, but after
analyses of that data, we were able to determine that
something was wrong with the creature. The assumption that
was retain was the creature was starving. If it was the last
representative of the Doomsday Machine, as Decker call it in
his report 53 year ago, something needed to be done to help it
out, maybe valuable information could be obtain from studying
it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Stellar cartography suggested that planet
Class-M-2502, was uninhabited, and in the thickness of the
border line and could be suitable to sustain the planet
crusher. Orders were given to alter our course and speed to
lead the planet crusher to this planet. But as soon as we got
to 40 hexK of the planet, tactical quickly reported contact at
bearing 300, and the tactical recognition system did not toke
long to identify 4 Tholian ships: a NCA, 2 PC and CWS making
their way to a position between us and the planet. Condition
Orange was call and transmitted to Kearsarge.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Paranoid and protective as they are, it did
not take very long before the Tholian hail us:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">"This Commander Larskene
of the THolian Will. You are in violation of our territorial
boundaries. State your intentions."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Our answer was as
neutral as possible not to unnerved then further:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">“We are guiding this
staving entity to the nearby planet to feed.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Larskene: "Don't you
have a planet of your own that you could offer
this...machine?"<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Golan: “Per our scan
this one was the closest and uninhabited.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Larskene: "Has the Earth
Federation Front adopted genocide. Take it from us, that
never ends well."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hmm, what are they
thinking, this planet is a class-M it is totally not
suitable for them, and it is very debatable on which side of
the border it is.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Golan: </span>“Whose
genocide? According to EFF laws, the Doomsday machine is
conscience enough to be allow to live, and received all the
help the Front can lend.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This decision may created an incident with
the Will, but I can’t let this creature be killed. They have
to understand that we are not invading the Will with 2 ships!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Golan and Kearsarge fired one drone with a
large interval as waring shots, but the Tholian ships were
still flying toward the planet, and had setup a web in our
path that we will need to go around. <span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">With the new interval
Golan and consort ships increase speed to pressure the
Tholian ship to veer away. But they kept their heading, and
setup a mine field near the planet. With this action that
have only the purpose, to harm the Doomsday Machine, it’s
with regrets that, we fire 6 photons set with proximity
fuses at their largess ship, as expected the shield was
almost drop to nothing but no damage was score to the ship.
Guess they misunderstood that last warning shot, and it made
them angrier because they veer toward the Doomsday Machine
and a second web came up in such location that it was
protecting the lead ship and slow down the remaining
drones. A third web came up clearly in the path of the
Doomsday Machine. Tactical pick up an unusually high power
output from the CWS, we were really puzzle, could the
Tholian had pick up some Orion tech, it will have to be
investigated further. But the main concern was still
opening up a path for the Doomsday Machine, we were close
enough to use out the 2 overloaded photons against the down
shield, a few internal was score. The PFs have targeted one
of the PC but the torp completely went astray. In order to
turn tighter and remain in the rear of the Tholian ships
Golan and Kearsarge tractor the PF. Following this interval
the Tholian ships just left, could the energy power detected
be major malfunction that requested immediate attention, or
a new transwarp technology. We will have to closely monitor
the Tholian Will to find out, it could change the scale of
power on this side of the Front.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">After clearing the mine
field for the Doomsday Machine, it was able to reach the
planet and feed. We clearly detected a positive power
fluctuation from the beast, and some empath sensible crew
member reported some feeling of gratitude and content. The
planet crusher was name DooMac 167 for future reference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Another mission that
ended in success, and the shore leave will be welcome. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">End of AAR <o:p></o:p></p>
