The Federation Fleet is coming. A few days ago I ordered Area 001 to be at full mobility and we have been moving it, although it's slow due to the fact that the C.S.S. Mulligan is so large that it takes quite a bit of effort to move. I know that the number of ships won't even be near the number of ships that he said. Unfortunately, I, or should I say Area 001, have just recently geared ourselves to be able to more mass produce our ships. Which means that right now I've got very few ships to work with, but, they are of superb quality and technology. Still, I can't let Misra have Area 001. Also, I've ordered the Luxembourg to go out and patrol the border of Area 001 under cloak. Everything is currently under cloak, but I'm worried, moving everything is draining our power reserves and if the power fails, we're visible and vulnerable and then he can zoom in on us. I'm starting to think twice about the bombs though, if all of my efforts work, then I may not need to blow things up. Hopefully though, things will work out and also, hopefully the Luxembourg will find any scout ships if they come.

==========================
    Outter Earth Solar System- A Universal Press Probe was destroyed this morning, after witnessing an unusual event. At 317 hours, an unidentified ship seemed to just appear out of nowhere and attacked a Star Fleet Ship, whos registry number identified it as the U.S.S. Black Mountain. The destruction of the ship is in question at this time, not having received any confirmation.
    A solitary Universal Press Probe was stationed at the edge of the Earth's solar system, just beyond Pluto, and just outside of the reserved space that is used as a Star Fleet Marine facility. At just after 317 hours, an area of space just outside of Earth's solar system started to swirl and distort, and then a ship came into view. Star Fleet Sources have confirmed that it is of unknown origin and design, although they did admit that the ship did appear to use a Star Fleet-like set of nacels and saucer. The ship did have a registry number, but Star Fleet reported this morning in a press conference that no ship exists with that registry number.
    Professor Ro'dok of the Vulcan Academy has said that the ship appears to have a more advanced design and capabilities than regular Star Fleet ships do, when asked whether he thought that perhaps it was a Star Fleet ship, he was quoted as saying, 'Yes, that is one possibility. However, it could also have been made by a foreign power emulating certain areas in Star Fleet ship design. At this moment, it is impossible to come to a solid conclusion without knowing more of the facts.' When questioned about the ships apparent decloaking, he stated 'The effect does not appear to be any standard decloaking pattern that we know about. Also, there is not yet conclusive evidence that this was in fact a decloaking and not a transportation or a wormhole ending.'
    More colorful explanations have spread quite quickly. Some have said that the Borg have learned the vulnerabilities in their cubes and are trying improved Star Fleet technology in the hopes that Star Fleet won't know how to defeat itself. Experts in this area however, have said that this is, 'highly unlikely.'
    Another explanation has said that the Federation is secretly in the middle of a civil war, and that a highly classified facility has broken free of the Federation. When asked about this, both the Federation and Star Fleet have said that 'There is absolutely no truth in that theory.'
    In a Star Fleet press conference held this morning, the representative from the public relations department was questioned on what exactly Star Fleet did think was happening. The representative was silent for a few seconds before reporting, 'A few months ago we received a request from a holo-movie company requesting that they be given permission and authorization to use that space for a space battle scene for a space adventure movie. We agreed, and that was all that happened.'
    The probe did catch this footage before we lost it's signal.
