Hailing Frequencies Open
From 2256 through 2257, a bloody and brutal conflict between two of the galactic powers caused severe fractures in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. With a suturing of peace barely holding it together, the Federation and Klingon Empire face the lingering of threat of the Gorn Hegemony.
Aggressive, cold blooded, and ruthless - The Gorn are what nightmares are made of. They've infested the Beta Quadrant and have clawed their way deeper into the Alpha Quadrant. With the assault on Parnassus Beta, a Federation colony in 2259, war seems inevitable.
With her Captain missing in action, command of the USS Arcadia falls upon a newly minted First Officer, Lieutenant Commander Kelly Kerrigan. Under his command the crew of the Arcadia are on a five-year mission of bridging relationships within the Federation and her broader allies, strengthening defenses, providing aid and relief to worlds hit the hardest, and protecting Federation assets at all costs. The USS Arcadia is not a ship of war; it is a ship of peace and a beacon of hope in the abyss.

Mission: Vinyl and Void
Posted on Sun Oct 12th, 2025 @ 7:09am by Lieutenant Commander Oscar McDonald MD & Lieutenant Adrianna Baciami
Following the directions she had been given, navigating the maze of unfamiliar corridors with her belongings in tow, one thing was becoming very clear. She was lost. Dropping her kit bag to the floor she sighed, days of travel leaving her feeling frustrated - mostly at herself. Deep breath, she urged herself. Think...
She was on the correct deck, of that she was sure. So she definitely could not be too far away. Of course she could ask the computer to help yet that would feel like defeat or one of the crew but did she want to be that…

Mission: Vinyl and Void
Posted on Thu Oct 2nd, 2025 @ 3:03am by Lieutenant Commander Oscar McDonald MD & Lieutenant Malcom Hunt
It had been a few days since Malcom had been rescued by the Arcadia. The initial checkup had gone well and it was recommended that he get a few days rest. Now he was reporting for the follow up appointment to get the green light to return to duty. Apparently, the Arcadia was in need of a helmsman and Hunt just happened to be in need of an assignment. So naturally it all worked out. Reaching sickbay, he entered and spotted Lt, Commander McDonald. "How's it going doctor?"
The question caused the Chief Medical Officer to look up from the…

Posted on Sat Sep 27th, 2025 @ 11:06am by Lieutenant Commander Oscar McDonald MD & Lieutenant Lanna Alexander
With the thought of having to make arrangements to send her son off ship, Lanna wasn’t surprised she was feeling off. Still it was better to drop by Sickbay and be checked over, just to be sure she wasn’t coming down with something. She could have just mentioned it to Jarin, but she didn’t want to worry him. They’d both have enough worries with having to leave their son for the first time. Walking into Sickbay Lanna was greeted by one of the nurses.
“Hello Counsellor, how can we help?” She offered a kind smile.
Lanna offered a smile. “Actually…

[For context, read post: Gorn but not forgotten]
Adrianna sat at the diner table with Vance. It wasn't the same, she still wasn't feeling great, but she was trying to add a sense of normality between them. At least, she had slept better the night before after their conversation. She seemed a lot less heavy hearted, although it was clear that work had been hard that day. Vance had spotted it and had questioned, to which Adrianna had explained about Sabastian being a ‘stronzo’ during the meeting and that she would had to suffer consequences for lashing out, even though…

Adrianna paused for a moment, attempting to find the words, "what happened on the away mission was-- something. But it was hardly a fault. We managed to find closure for a number of families and it is only Fleet that seem to think we failed. Somehow we got everything we needed from that mission, albeit a casualty or two. We could not help the stowaway. Gawd knows it's the second time I've had that girl blindside me under similar circumstances. But regardless, everyone lived and we managed to limp home."
She cleared her throat, "the training-- I will…

Tanina stood beneath the canopy of fairy lights strung between the old olive trees, her hand resting lightly on Dario’s arm. The warm breeze carried the laughter and music from the dance floor, blending with the scents of lavender and the faint tang of wine from the surrounding vineyards. Her eyes found Adrianna and Vance among the dancers, their movements fluid and effortless as if they had been made for each other.
“She’s beautiful,” Dario said softly, his voice low and filled with pride.
Tanina glanced at him, a tender smile curving her lips, “She is. More beautiful than I…

The Baciami family vineyard glowed under the warm embrace of the late afternoon sun. Rows of vines stood proudly, the leaves rustling gently in the breeze as though whispering secrets of love and legacy. In her childhood bedroom, Adrianna stood before a full length mirror, suddenly feeling quite nervous. The delicate lace of her wedding gown glowed softly in the light streaming through the open window. It had been carefully preserved, tucked away for decades– Tanina’s wedding dress, now hers.
The old wooden door creaked open. Adrianna turned to see her mother step inside, a bouquet of lavender, rosemary and…

My Vance,
This is the last letter I’ll write to you before I become your wife.
I wanted to tell you that the promise I made to you years ago, when you gave up trying to kiss me-- I've not gone through with it. I've not told the officiant to change the wording of the ceremony from ‘you may now kiss the bride' to 'you may now stare longingly and awkwardly at the bride from a respectable distance’.
Anyway, by the time you read this, I’ll be hours away from walking down the aisle, ready to stand before the man…

*** Some Years Ago ***
The party had finally ended, and the villa was silent. The hum of celebration, the clinking of glasses, and the warmth of family laughter had faded into the hush of the countryside. Adrianna’s family had gone to bed, their joy giving way to the heavy stillness of sleep. All but Giovanni, who stood on the balcony, his broad frame silhouetted against the silver glow of the moon. He held a ring box in his hand, turning it idly as his dark eyes scanned the vineyard stretching endlessly below.
Adrianna found him there, her footsteps were…

The vineyard shimmered under the soft glow of fairy lights strung delicately between the olive trees, casting their warm light over the rows of tables set for tomorrow’s celebration. The scent of blooming jasmine and freshly tilled earth mingled with the cool evening breeze, carrying a sense of tranquillity that Adrianna found both soothing and bittersweet. She stood at the edge of the vineyard, her gaze sweeping over the familiar land that had been her family’s pride for generations, the place where so many memories had been made.
The entire place looked like a fantasy. It was ready for the…
