A new rumor has begun spreading that the Handmaiden Jodi Izly was seen seducing and possibly charming the Security Lieutenant Nick Loxton against his will when the two were alone at the Battlestation’s bar. Though given the reputation of the Lieutenant so far many are also willing to guess it may be the other way around.

Rumour has it that LT Reyes has been genetically modifying creatures again…
Rumors abound as the Lexington Class Dreadnought I.S.S. Albion has arrived at Battle Station 13. Not normally a regular vessel at the station, its Captain apparently was already seen in a verbal altercation with a ranking station scientist near where the recently installed Art Auction is taking place.
Rumors have it that a Romulan selling disruptors has docked at the battlestation

Rumor has it that Na’Toth is part of some secret police force for the emperor, how else would a dirty Klingon command a Terran Imperial warship?
Others say she’s been dispatched to BS13 either to bolster their forces or to hunt someone down.
The few very brave… or very foolish… say that she is a deep cover operative for the Klingon-Cardassian alliance, just simply playing the long game.
Also, we’re pretty sure she lost her eye fighting a ferocious genetically altered tribble that was twice her size and had a hunger for living beings.

Rumor has it… that Lieutenant Mi’shune sh’Sonora is no longer Admiral Quinn’s woman! She’s languishing in the shuttle bay and would do just about anything to get out of there. She’s putting out feelers for anyone in need of her special skills.
Rumor has it… there’s been a blonde Vulcan appearing at multiple points in the station. The modus operandi is always the same. A maintenance worker, technician, or cleaner appears with what appears to be legitimate identification. Then after she goes to work, something inevitably breaks down or gets worse. Then once an officer looks into the identification, it’s no longer valid, the name practically disappears from the labor pool database. Who is she and how does she keep doing this?
Rumor has it… there’s an accountant on Deck 60, Section 14, who moved from room 141-B to 141-C. You know, the really sweet corner office that used to be his supervisor’s until he willingly gave it up for a broom closet on deck 186, citing post traumatic stress due to agoraphobia? The administrator in charge of office assignments was more than glad to do the transfer, and it had nothing to do with a midnight visit from a person in a balaclava and black body suit. Nope, not in the slightest…

“Status report!”
“Shields holding!”
“Then how did those shots get through?!”
“Return fire, damn you!”
“We are firing, Captain, but… it’s like our shots aren’t connecting at all!”
“We HAVE target lock, how are you idiots missing?!”
“How are we losing hull through the shields?!”
“Silence, both of you! Who dares fire on a Terran cruiser?”
“Readings indicate a… Union dreadnought?”
“Hull integrity at thirty-eight percent and falling!”
“We will NOT be killed by some damned alien! All hands, ramming speed! Brace for impact!”
“Maximum impulse, all weapons fire at will!”

Time to put on the Adele again, 'cause Rumor Has It…
…that a couple of laborers were found dead in the lower decks. Both were suspected to have ties with the rebel underground.
…a certain former bounty hunter turned Terran Empire officer just got fast-tracked through the review board and received her own command! Considering the lack of available ships without a captain, there’s speculation as to who’s losing their command, and when. One thing for sure, there will be a lot of resentful officers whom she pole vaulted over, to add to the potential volatile mix of a new captain who hasn’t quite earned her crew’s loyalty yet.
…the Captain of the I.S.S. Baton Rouge is in a precarious situation at the moment, with plummeting performance reviews and an increasing degradation of on-board discipline. Better watch his back, or he might end up losing his command…

Although the autopsy showed definitively that the death of the Captain of the ISS Baton Rouge was caused by an undetected brain aneurysm, the improbability of such a natural defect going unnoticed in this day and age has led to rampant speculation and alternative theories.
Aside from the usual “he was murdered” cries, some around the fleet are claiming that he was exposed to strange radiation. Others insist that he was the subject of medical experiments and the doctors are covering it up.

There were witnesses that as the I.S.S. Albion departed for a border investigation Weapons Development Scientist Traise watched the full departure with great interest from the Observation Lounge. After watching the vessel warp out of system he quickly proceeded to the Auction Display where he immediately made both an extremely high bid on a painting and moments later a frustrated scream before storming off.
Rumor is he also sought treatment for a broken hand at medical, scuttlebutt is the incidents are related.

Rumor has it the Trill Handmaiden Jodi Izly’s inspection of V’s goods and ship were for more nefarious reasons that could be damaging to the Empire, given some of the track record of her Captain there’s some plausibility…but nobody will know for sure unless investigation is done.

Rumor has it… the person behind a serious of sabotage attempts and the murder of two suspected rebel sympathizers was arrested and brought to to security on unrelated charges. The saboteur was identified as V’lol, a known member of the Vulcan Syrranite movement, affiliated with rebel factions in the Empire. After an interrogation session with one of the Empire’s specialists, she was later transferred to the I.S.S. Betazed for a trip to the Dungeons of Terra.
Rumor has it… there’s been a lot of personnel shuffles to and from the I.S.S. Baton Rouge ever since it docked at the station yesterday. Not twelve hours in did the transfers begin… starting with the senior staff, who initiated the transfer spree when they petitioned their objection to the new change in command.
Upon making their way to the station to discuss the matter, many attempted a discreet shortcut through the airlocks so the Captain wouldn’t detect their movements. A malfunction in the airlock, however, opened their shortcut before they could don their EV suits.
The transfers extended to assistant department chiefs, shift chiefs, then extending all the way to about half of the 550 crewmembers. During these times, the Baton Rouge reported significant power draws from the station’s umbilical cords, flowing directly to the security department’s agony chambers. Disciplinary overflow also resulted in dozens of Baton Rouge crewmembers being transferred to the station’s agony booths. New personnel have already been requested and allocated, including a new senior staff, many whom the Captain of the Baton Rouge, Commander Mi’shune sh’Sonora, specifically requested.

Rumour has it, gentle reader, that Nick Loxton is in the market for peace of mind. What will his fellow Terrans make of this? Surely they will oblige the delicate sensibilities of Loxton by giving him the peace he so longingly craves?

Rumor has it… Commander Mi’shune sh’Sonora has her ship’s personnel and disciplinary issues more or less under control. It’s taking quite a bit of shuffling with the Bureau of Personnel, but she was able to Ship of Theseus herself a workable crew. Morale and efficiency has already started to improve!
Rumor has it… the Dungeons of Terra in old Detroit will have to wait. The saboteur known as V’lol has been returned to the station. What fate awaits her? We’ll know soon enough…

Rumor has it that Captain Konieczko called an emergency senior staff meeting in the late hours aboard Battle Station Argo. Following, a sense of urgency broke out among several departments.
Security seems to have increased it’s amount of patrols and use of agony booths for questioning. There also seemed to be several additional security checkpoints popping up around the battle station and ‘routine random quarter searches’.
Additional labor requisitions have been submitted to boost the stations diminishing labor population. Cargo bay purges into space have also been decided to now be a ‘rare’ occurrence.
Engineering seems to be preparing something, though that has not yet become clear.

Rumor has it Admiral Perim and her flagship are not leaving after her recent visit to Battlestation Argo. The Admiral seems intent on personally overseeing some manner of mysterious preparations that the battlefleet is undertaking. Apparently she’s even set up a second office aboard. We probably have that to thank for the generally increased level of security and loyalty testing on the station.
Rumor has it that the Admiral only kept one of the many paintings she acquired at the art auction. Lot #128 is on display in her new office.
Lot #129, Faithful Unto Death, was delivered to Captain Varley aboard the Saratoga.
The remainder of the won paintings, 120, 121, 122, 123, 125, 127, and 130, were delivered to Captain Konieczko. Presumably to be distributed around the station.
Strangely enough, Lot #124 - presumed lost, was delivered only slightly delayed to the quarters of one Commander Johnathon Traise. A note attached reads, "The Empire recognizes the strength in each officer simply doing his duty and excelling."

Rumor has it that the large and impressive Painting #126 was delivered to Captain Konieczko’s office by LCDR Mercer with a signed note.
Some say this was just an extravagant attempt to curry favor. Others suggest it might be an ill-advised romantic overture. Whatever the reason, the LCDR looked pleased on her way out.
