- 2392.07.14
- 2392.07.15
- 2392.07.28
Locations of the (crew of the) USS Atlantis:

- The planet Helteka
- Pandora Station.
Summary:
- 2392.07.14:
The Freedom Fighter ship 'Valour' exploded in a large array of flames, enveloping not only the Atlantis, but also the installation which generated the subspace distortion field that the pirates had set up to prevent the convoy from warping away from danger. The Atlantis suffered quite some damage, and several members of the crew passed out, including Captain Torn.
But the trouble was far from over. With its shields down and its weapons barely functioning, the Atlantis was a tempting target for the surviving Freedom Fighters. They attacked. This time, the Atlantis did not stand much of a chance. Fortunately, many convoy ships, which were no longer bothered by pirate vessels, came to the Starship's aid, and together the convoy and the Atlantis quickly forced the remaining Freedom Fighters to retreat. The convoy and the Atlantis were safe again. The long and arduous process of repairing the damage could begin.
On board the Jatmey, meanwhile, Doctor Kadar's injuries turned out to be quite severe. She had been immobilised by the medical staff in order to minimise any further damage, and would be transported to the Atlantis when communication was restored again. Unfortunately, that might take a while.
The L'tari 39, the Nilav, meanwhile flew back to what was left of the Remember Edan to pick up Captain Jomorr and the small team he had infiltrated the engine room of the Edan with. They had managed to deactivate the Edan's overloading warp core at the last possible second, averting an explosion which would not only have destroyed the Edan, but the Nilav as well.
Meanwhile, back in the Alpha Quadrant, a future member of the Atlantis crew waited for the Atlantis to pick her up on Pandora Station. This Ensign, by the name of Alandri Dane, occupied her time by going to the holosuite on the station.
- 2392.07.15:
The following day the various crews were still in the process of repairing their ships or patching up their wounded. The battle had been won, but the convoy still had to get to Helteka. While engineering worked on the repairs, Ensign Vil contacted various L'tari vessels to get an update on their damage reports, and the EMH continued to patch up the many injured Starfleet or Deasian crewmembers who stopped by his sickbay. Among them was Doctor Kadar, who was transported from the Jatmey to the Atlantis when communications between those two vessels had been re-established.
Also in sickbay was Ensign Gambit, who had passed out after hitting the floor in a pirate attack the day before. When he woke up the following day, still half dreaming, he attacked a medic, thinking the latter was a Borg. Gambit subsequently realised what he had done and talked to the EMH about his half-Klingon nature.
Another patient in Sickbay was Captain Torn. The Captain had been standing too close to the engineering console when it exploded in his face the day before, and shrapnel from the explosion had caused damage to his face and his eyes. Due to extensive damage to his optic nerve, Captain Torn was now faced with the fact that he was blind -- perhaps even permanently. Only time will tell whether he will be able to see again.
Still on Pandora Station, Alandri Dane, meanwhile, is blissfully unaware of the dangers her future shipmates have faced.

Finally, after many days of travelling, the convoy reached the planet Helteka in the Andari system. Most damage to the Atlantis and the surviving convoy ships has been repaired or at least by-passed, and now it is time to unload the cargo and give the Heltekans the supplies they need so badly. The mission, finally, is coming to an end.

October was a slow month, but that's not surprising since we had a few LOAs and crew changes. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: the mission is nearing its end, so hang in there for a few more years! Uh, weeks. Uh, days? It'll be over soon, anyway. ;-)
Quote of the Month:
This time, not a hilariously funny quote, but a deadly serious quote about the consequences of the mission. The quote of the month October is from a post by David Susman:
CO Torn: "I think now our only choice is the diplomatic option. There is so much more to our situation than the Aid-Master led me to believe. Not just pirates but Freedom Fighters. We ... no ... I have gotten the Atlantis in the middle of a civil war. I don't doubt Starfleet will have my guts for garters."
