A senior Federation Aide today reported that all contact has been lost with USS Hale an Intrepid Class vessel under orders to explore former Klingon territories, in a statement released by Starfleet Command the Admiralty indicated that the last reports from the Sovereign indicated she had been chasing down reports of pirate activity in her patrol area.
The Federation News Service was able to get an exclusive interview with the Hales former Chief of the Boat Chief Petty Officer Ryan Osborn.
FNN: “Welcome to the studio Chief Osborn, could you tell us a little about the ship and crew you served with for over 5 years?”
Osborn: “Thank you it’s a pleasure to be here. The crew and the ship is one of the finest I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, under the auspice of Captain Matthews I’ve seen the ship beat the Borg.”
FNN: “So you can’t think of anything that would take the ship off grid then?”
Osborn: “No, nothing at all.”
FNN: “So what then of the reports that Captain Matthews belongs to a well known anti-alien group on earth then?”
Osborn: “No comment”
FNN: “What of his staunch support of President Kirok?”
Osborn: “This interview is over!”
As you can see from our conversation with Osborn there is definitely more afoot here than Starfleet is letting on, a commanding officer with ties to a known terrorist group and public record of his adoration for a complete madman.
We at the FNS only hope that Starfleet’s orders for Enterprise to search for the Hale yield positive results.
