[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] <h2>CONSPIRACY TO HIDE STARSHIP? INVESTIGATION ORDERED BY FEDERATION COUNCIL.</H2> By Miguel Molina, special to the Federation News Network <small>Un-named sources paint bleak picture of secret operation to destroy lost starship. Top-secret branch of Starfleet Intelligence implicated, careers lost, Federation Council investigating</small> Seven years ago, a tiny starship vanished. She was the USS [i]Voyager[/i], one of the first Intrepid-Class vessels to roll off the assembly line at Utopia-Planitia Shipyard in orbit of Mars. The first command of Kathryn Janeway, her mission was to track down a band of Maquis in the badlands. "My son just graduated the Academy," elderly Helen Kim told reporters tearfully when told of the news. "And now he's gone forever." Her son, Ensign Harry Kim, was the ship's Operations Officer. Citizens across the Federation were saddened by the loss of the [i]Voyager[/i], a loss which became more poignent when War with the Dominion broke out. Why had the Maquis been hunted, many asked, when they were the first ones to recognize the Cardassians as a threat? "The Maquis were endangering our fragile relations with the Cardassian Union," Admiral Howard Weinstein of Starfleet Operations said in a statement at the outbreak of the War. "They were breaking a treaty made in good faith by the Federation Council, and it was Starfleet's job to stop them." And so the [i]Voyager[/i] became a forgotten tragedy -- one hundred and sixty people and one starship lost. Except she hadn't been lost. New information reveals that Starfleet Command discovered that the ship had been "tossed" to the Delta Quadrant, yet did nothing to facilitate her rescue, and in fact, attempted to cover up her existance at any cost. Vice-Admiral Tony D'Mato was arrested today by the Federation Bureau of Investigation for his role in the conspiracy. Some have suggested that he is the member of an ultra-secret branch of Starfleet Intelligence, but Intelligence Head Admiral H'og'liian'st'y defused that rumor, stating that "there is not now, nor has there ever been a 'rogue' or 'secret' branch of Starfleet Intelligence. Yes, we run undercover operations, but all of our actions are subject to the Oversight Committee of the Federation Council." Reports that two fast deep-space exploration starships had been sent on a top secret mission to find and destroy the [i]Voyager[/i] were also cast aside by Admiral Weinstein. "That is ridiculous, two ships have been sent to intercept [i]Voyager[/i]. We want to bring that ship and her crew home as quickly as possible. They've been gone for seven years and we want them to come home again." Head of the FBI J'oli Quiee'rt, the first Manopoisan to hold the position, said that Starfleet personell involved in the conspiracy were "not being fully honest with our investigators, and we've only scratched the surface of what is happening." When quieried about the rumors of a secret branch of Starfleet Intelligency, Quiee'rt said, "that is nonsense and the product of an overactive imagination. No such organization exists within the Federation." Starfleet has lost four of its top Admirals since the investigation began. Vice-Admirals Thomas Paine and Daniel O'rt resigned, Admiral D'Mato has been arrested, and today, Rear-Admiral Solka went AWOL. An FBI team which went to Starfleet Headquarters to take into custody hard-copies of evidence found the remains of what had been subjected to heavy-phaser fire. Such revelations have only added fuel to the blazing fire. "We will find out what has happened," Quiee'rt promised. [/QB][/QUOTE]
