Summary:
- 2393.05.23:
The Atlantis had located the USS Birnam, the renegade Galaxy-class Starship which had cut all communications with Starfleet. After a short fight, the Birnam crew stood down, and arrangements were made for Captain Krella and some of her staff to come aboard the Atlantis to discuss the situation. Meanwhile, a Starfleet Arrow-class runabout dropped out of transwarp: Lieutenant Montgomery and Ensign Vil were rejoining the crew of the Atlantis.
As Captain Krella, Commander Lenox and Lieutenant Dobin of the Birnam beamed to the Atlantis, an Atlantis away team was beamed to the Birnam to determine what was causing the crew to behave so strangely. They found evidence of neurogenic fields on several decks. In the meantime, Captain Krella and her landing party were at the negotiating table with Captain Torn, where Dobin, at Lenox' orders, altered Torn's memories. He was making the Captain believe the same lies he had made the crew of the Birnam believe: that the Lysians were enemies, that all of Starfleet had fallen under Lysian mind control, and that the salvation of the Federation lay in the destruction of the Lysian Central Command.
Now under the influence of Dobin's mind control, Captain Torn ordered the Atlantis to cut all communications with the rest of Starfleet and to set course to the Lysians system. He further ordered all senior officers to the conference room, where Dobin would 'liberate' them from Lysian mind control. Confused, the crew of the Atlantis complied and assembled in the conference room, unaware of the danger awaiting them there.
On board the Birnam, the Away Team found out, to their surprise, that the Atlantis had jumped to warp, leaving their own officers behind. Now stranded on a disabled ship, surrounded by hostile officers, things look mighty grim for Commander Velden and his team... But, as the Atlantis prepares to go to war, things look even more grim for the Lysians.

This translates into the following list of players. Odd as it may seem, a player is listed as "Active" when he or she has posted at least once in the last two weeks, even though they might not have posted at all during the rest of the month. As you will see, we seem to have many active players, and still we have less than 50 posts.

Legend: LOA = Player has been on LOA this month and has not yet returned.
LOA* = Player has been on LOA this month but has returned.
Guest = Special guest star! Woohoo!
Notes: Revisions and double posts were not counted, for obvious reasons. Joint posts were counted as a single post in the grand total.
Top 3 posters for August 2007:
1) David Susman, 12 posts
2) Ben Versteegt, 10 posts
3) Rob Versteegt, 6 posts
We're getting there... Only one player is formally still on a LOA, and that LOA should be over soon. Everyone else is back from their LOAs and ready to post, so I'm confident that September will see many more posts. Remember, folks: you should post at least once a week. That means that we'll be expecting at least four (4) posts from each of you in September.
Despite our chronic lack of posts, I like the quality of the posts, and I enjoy reading them. So keep up the good work, and let's push a little harder to reach at least 50 posts in September!
Quote of the Month:
Ben Versteegt and David Susman, August 20, 2007
FO Velden: "Good luck to you too, sir. Captain Krella sounds like a tough negotiator."
CO Torn: "From her records, and what we've seen so far, I'll have to agree with you. But there's none as stubborn as a Yorkshireman as my Gran used to say."
