In Earth's Norse mythology a Valkyrie was a symbol of fairness and honor; a bright shining example in the cold and dark of the north. She was a supernatural being that flew over land and sea searching and protecting those she cared for. A Valkyrie was charged with finding those warriors worthy to enter the halls of Valhalla.
Are you worthy?
Come, test your metal aboard the USS Valkyrie.
The year is 2400 and a new century has dawned. So much has happened in the last 25 years. The Dominion War ended, The USS Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant, and the Romulan Empire opened up to the Federation. With the rebuilding of the fleet, the new technology brought back by Voyager, and the stabilization of the region a new age has dawned for the Federation.
The Borg are a fading threat, Romulan relations are still improving, the Cardassians are still causing trouble and full of bluster, and the Klingons are, well..., still Klingons. With Federation's return to its core mission of exploration, they are once again answering the call of the unknown. As Picard once said, “...the unknown is what brings us out here”.
One of the newest ships brought into service is the USS Valkyrie, a Vesta class starship equipped with state of the art technologies, including a Quantum Slipstream Drive (QSD). With a QSD at their disposal the unknown has opened up like never before.
About the Valkyrie...
- We operate in a Nemesis timeline. Meaning we do not follow the events set in motion by the Abrams Star Trek. In other words - Romulus is still intact. This means we operate with most of the technology from Picard but get to write our own path, unbound by the limits set forth in the Abrams movies (Kelvin timeline), DSC, PIC, PRO, LD, or SNW.
- We are an 18+, Nova platform simulation with a RPG rating of:

V'Laros looked to the Captain. "That is correct Captain. The work continues on a full report by we were able to make several significant finding. Of key importance the Pricari data had vital, and surprisingly precise data on the path of the asteroid that brought the contagion to their world. After processing the information through Astrometrics we have refined that information.
"As to the biological analysis of the Defiled. We have confirmed Mr. Tarnala's assertion that these creates are in fact dead. Every scan, including those of what had been Lt. Wallace, showed no life signs, nor any neurological activity.…

It had been just over 24 hours since the away teams had returned and the loss of four of the ship security staff. The doctor's quarantine had passed and it was time to see what the Science Department had discovered and what if anything could be done.
The ship was still in orbit and Daegan had spent most of the day in the ready room reviewing the data information recovered by the away team and speaking with Starfleet command. Command didn't want, whatever this was, to spread any more than he did but was leaving the decision to him. While…

Mission: What was Lost is Found

OOC: I'll look to set up the timeline stuff as we go along. I'm exasperated trying to get a playlist on my phone. It used to be so much easier before all this "stream everything" stuff!
Rogers glared at the door. Then at his chrono. Then at the door again. He disliked waiting. Disliked it very much. A person would think that someone who started his career as an enlisted Marine would be used to the idea of "hurry up and wait" but...no.
He glared at his chrono again. Glared hard. As if glaring at the device would convey to…

Rogers stopped just outside the security offices and stood up straight and shook hies left leg in preparation to force himself the 'normal use of it. He'd spent the last two hours following Hannah's instructions to rest it. Well, mostly following Hannah's instructions. He'd rested on the bed after eating the dinner Hannah replicated for him. He'd rested it as he sat at his desk taking care of general orders, transfer paperwork and other administrative functions that he wanted to complete and get out of the way before the official first day. He'd rested in between unpacking his few belongings…

[Security]
Garath had been returning his weapons to the armory officer an was stowing his EV suit when the news had hit the Security center. Lt. Well had been attacked by one of those Defiled creatures and mutated into one of them. Gonzalez, Hudson, and Lee had also been killed. Lambert had survived, of all of them the jittery, easily spooked one made it. Several had wanted to go to sickbay but there was a cautionary quarantine in place and Taggart and Rogers had both directed people to settle down and stay focused.
Once back in uniform he went to…
