       USS Calhoun/Delta One Status Report by Adrian Rodd
====================================================================
There are two Calhouns! <EG> Contact has been made between the ships
from different realities. On the 'other' Calhoun, the fighting has
all but stopped, as it appears the rebels, led by Dawn Summers and
John Hart, have prevailed. Summers proceeded to round up her enemies
and eject them from the ship in lifepods. This led Captain Su from
'our' reality to react by beaming these crewmembers on board Delta
One, confined by forcefields, not wanting to leave them adrift in
space.

Due to a mistake by Lieutenant Dugall, the prisoners escaped,
wreaking havoc on the station. Eventually, the senior staff of the
'other' Calhoun agreed to beam over, both to talk to the prisoners
and to try and resolve their own conflict on 'neutral ground'.

Matters have not been helped, however, by the fact some prisoners are
still on the loose - including the highly dangerous Tim Lynch, who
has freed his own double from the brig. . .

           USS Valkyrie Status Report by Mark van der Laan
====================================================================
USS VALKYRIE STATUS REPORT - 2391.01.06:

By order of StarFleet Command, the Valkyrie's scheduled repairs have
been delayed for an unexpected urgent mission. The most critical
repairs will be made before departure, minor repairs will be made
en-route or when the mission is completed.

At approximately 75 light years from Bajor, close to the Ferengi
border lies the New Amsterdam Colony. Though originally a terran
colony, it has now become the home to a large population of Betazoid
colonists, Bajorans, and various other species as well. However now a
group of Cardassian refugees has arrived on the planet as well, and
to make matters worse they've landed close to the Bajoran colonists.

Tensions are already high, and because of the two races' past
history, the possibility of a bloody conflict is quite real. The New
Amsterdam government emplored the Federation to mediate, and as a
result the USS Valkyrie is now about to be dispatched to do just
that.

Underway to the New Amsterdam Colony, the journey has been one of ups
and downs. The owner of Guido's Restaurant has decided to leave his
restaurant to support his family and friends on the colony, and
during his farewell party, a tragic event disrupted things: the
murder of Ensign Jamai.

And now the USS Valkyrie and its crew are left with two situations to
resolve: The conflict at New Amsterdam, and the as of yet unsolved
murdercase.

Review:

Two words, Think You. This is what startrek needed to get back to.
True trek, not the recent sexual appeals it's been making. Although I
admit, it wasn't everything it could have been and it, and it
partially had ripped off other startrek episodes, it still reinvented
itself, and did a good job. Everyone got good camera time, but I
really think we saw more of the doctor, which is good, everybody
likes him, definitely a key player in the enterprise crew. There were
a few logical flaws in the episode, it was a good episode just to lay
back and watch. No really big character development, but as I have
said, a good "Trek" episode. I've read the reports on some of the
upcoming episodes, and it should be a while until we return to good
trek, so enjoy this one, but hopefully the episodes will be
entertaining, fun and CANNON…oh sorry. Overall, I would give "The
Crossing," which was last weeks Enterprise, about a 7.6 out of 10.

Next Week on Enterprise!
