3701.12	Ensigns Ahote and Atomsk rescue three survivors from the free trader LION OF AIMAR crash onto the desert planet of Regalia. This required negotiating their release from the Psiminder cult.
3702.17	While on shore leave on the planet Carstairs, Ensign Atomsk is shot dead by local rancher and Arazona Ranchers' Association leader, Lucas Wilcox. (He and Ensign Ahote were there unofficially investigating a potential threat of escalting voilence.)	Mirror Ahote's Mission Report
3703.11	Ensigns Ahote. Hruska, Travers, and two scientists: Sid  Weinstein, PhD and Samual  Bickerson, PhD, crash land on the hostile planet Nightmare (185°F, chlorine atmosphere, suspected active precursor artifact). Hruska ends up saving Ahote's life, and these five become the first and only people ever to set foot on Nightmare and live to tell about it.	Ensign Ahote's Personal Log
3705.11	Ensigns Ahote and Hruska are instrumental in proving the indigenous bipedal aquatic species on Sinbad are intelligent. They also uncovered evidence that Summersun has an undocumented base there.

Season 2: Where No Man Has Gone Before

Stardate	Event	Reports/Logs
3707.15	Dr. Kostantin w/ Ensigns Hruska and Travers obtain evidence of life-forms in the cloud decks of Tithonus. They also notice what may be a derelict spacecraft buried under the ice of Hector.	Ensign Travers' Mission Report
3707.16	Lt. Commander Jhamela, Hruska, Roman, and Travers investigate a Carnivon Fox Destroyer Class starship which had been buried under the Hector ice for about 22 years. Carnivon bodies and some systems were recovered, but the starship was ultimately destroyed.	Ensign Travers' Mission Report
3707.18	Travers is nearly killed after involvement in a skirmish between to factions on the fledgling (only 14 year old) colony on Aurora III. He would have died were it not for the quick and decisive actions of Ensign Hruska.
3707.29	Recently promoted Junior Lieutenant Ahote and Ensign Hruska board and recover the dangerous cargo aboard the Andorian light freighter THE WANDERING CHILD. All but three of the crew were dead, the three survivors were insane, due to their having brought aboard a shipment of siren bugs. A dangerous species of crustacean, as yet unknown to the Federation.
3708.05	Jr. Lt Ahote and Ensign Hruska, acting undercover on Nin'Yend, discover and disrupt a distribution point of the siren bugs.
3708.17	Jr. Lt Ahote and Ensign Kandegawa, while on bridge duty aboard the USS MERLIN, respond to a distress beacon. The distress beacon turns out to be from a robot ore freighter, the SS LOUIS XV, adrift in an asteroid field of the Beta Eta system. Before they can investigate further they are attacked by what appears to be an Orion pirate ship of Kzinti design. The pirates are repelled. Jr. Lt Ahote and Ensign Kandegawa determine the SS LOUIS XV is safe for warp travel and get it up an running. The USS MERLIN then escorts the SS LOUIS XV to Pyth (Omicron Tempe III).
3708.28	Jr. Lt Ahote and Ensigns Hruska and Loralina rescue six Scatenato Agricultural Colony hostages from Nogog-Girak GmbH security forces on Pyth. Nogog-Girak GmbH is a Prellarian mining concern. Gonyer's Mercenaries were also implicated, but the Scatenato Colony council agreed not to pursue charges against them in return for protection from potential future attacks on their colony.
3709.08	Jr. Lt Ahote, while on bridge duty at ops, briefly investigates an energy void in space. A probe is launched which vanishes upon reaching the phenomena. A second probe with a warning buoy is left behind to monitor the phenomena.
3709.15	Jr. Lt Ahote and Ensigns Hruska and Loralina (and Travers and two red shirts) assist in repairs and provide medical aid aboard an Orion Pirate vessel caught in the middle of a force-8 ion storm. The USS MERLIN took damage herself and had to borrow an antimatter injector from the Orion ship.
3709.27	Jr. Lt Ahote and Ensigns Loralina and Travers rescue Ensigns Benedict Hruska and Scott Harder from Summersun Mercenaries who had been hired as security by the Kzinti trader, Chuftini. Chuftini's ship, THE SALIZAR, contained not only the abducted ensigns--Hruska alive, Harder dead--but several dozen addition Summerson mercenaries in some form of stasis, all of them clones of Ensign Atomsk (who had been killed on Carstairs over seven months prior).
3709.30	Jr. Lt Ahote and Ensigns Kandegawa, Laralina, and Travers trace the Atomsk clones to a former Summersun Mercenaries ship, the DURADUS (which had attacked Carstairs six months ago (on stardate 3703.08)). The DURADUS had been taken over by the first Atomsk clone, Atomsk Prime, who had single handedly killed it's crew of 49 Summreson employees and hung them all on hooks. While Jr. Lt Ahote attempted to talk the clearly insane Atomsk Prime down, Ensigns Kandegawa and Travers rigged the DURADUS to blow. When Praeta showed up, the team beamed aboard the PENGUINE and blew the DURADUS, presumably killing all the clones and Praeta.
3712.14	Jr. Lt Ahote and Ensigns Kandegawa and Hruska save Kin-Kain, a Brecon, from attempted murder by the Orion pirate, Thalal, leader of the Five Systems Cabal. Kin's testimony led the team to believe her attempted murder was tied to the daring smash-and-grab raid of 34 Leken Dynamics NX-66 warp coils off the USS ALLIGATOR, which occurred at the same moment. The prime team's investigation required them to begin a month long journey to Herne, 583 pc away. (The USS MERLIN left to assist the USS ALLIGATOR.)	Jr. Lt. Ahote's Frillia Mission Report
3801.13	Jr. Lt Ahote and Ensigns Kandegawa, Hruska, and Travers, while on Herne, captured the Orion pirate, Thalal, and three other members of the Five Systems Cabal, and recovered 17 of the 34 of stolen Leken Dynamics NX-66 warp coils in the process. They discovered that Macrotech, in an attempt to secretly raid a derelict space ark for technology, become involved in one of the most unethical breaches of first contact protocol in Federation history. Jr. Lt Ahote became the only Federation citizen the understandably distrustful Selkath will deal with, negotiating the release of all Mactrotech employee hostages, the return of the rest of the NX-66 warp coils, and convincing the Selkath to colonize a planet that was within Federation protected space.	Jr. Lt. Ahote's Herne Mission Report
