=Star Trek: Apache – Episode =#7=20
Week # 3
Mission: “The Peacekeepers”
=20
=Host Jafo says:
=Reports from the Apache suggest that it had encountered an entity, which caused time to loop, keeping the Apache from making it to Starbase 275. =During their escape from within the entity, it was destroyed
=20
=Host Jafo says:
==Task Force =64 reported that the USS Apache has rendezvoused with the convoy. They =are now entering Cardassian Space. Caution is suggested, since there are expected encounters =with pirates, who wish to take the supplies for themselves.
==20
=Host Nicke says:
=Mister Naug has beamed aboard and taken over as Tactical Officer =replacing Mister Lowell who has finally been advised of his move to Engineering. The Apache has resumed course and =caught up to Task Force 64 as it prepares to cross the border into =Cardassian space.
