Computer problems resolved, it looks like. Play on!
YAY!!!
Graham's Off-Duty Time Agenda:
- Touch Kylah
- Bromance with Rangin
- Say hi-sie wi-sie to Colli-Wollins
I'm exhausted just reading about it.
A little new Apocypha.
Poor confused Kylah. She will soon have three men in her room. It will be at that point that Collins and Cooper come back to the cabin and walk in on this comedy of errors.
Ha, yeah, I... was not expecting so much company. One at a time, sure, but simultaneous? Yipe.
HEY! Johnson's over 6 feet tall and, as Kylah noticed in his towel, no slouch in the muscle department.Quote:

This scene feels like it was written by the Marx Brothers.
But with more angst!!!Quote:

I love the fact that Collins & Ben are wandering around like high school kids looking for a place to make out...
Yeah, well, by the time I thought of returning to Collins' cabin, Johnson and Graham were already gone, so there'd be no reason for her to make inaccurate assumptions.
I was thinking about that. Perhaps the ship should have a half-dozen reservable cabins for assignations...? Starfleet would be a bit more open/mature about that than the U.S. Navy today, for instance.
I'd thought the same thing, didn't get around to PM'ing it. I thought for either "I need alone time" or "We need a place for let's get it on" that would make perfect sense.Quote:

Well, technically Kylah's in her bathrobe with Johnson in the hall and Velir in the room. So there's still time for eyebrow-lifting, if any eyebrow-lifting is desired. :D
It's Sta-R-rated Trek!Quote:

CREW NEEDS NOOKIE. --Signed, Rangin
Hey everyone. It's choie, but I'm using a 2nd account to introduce a new PC on reserve. Not as a Kylah substitute, but an addition to add more options -- I figure realistically Kylah wouldn't go on every mission so it might be fun to have a 2nd option. (In fact, with WES/Hayes, CIAS/Johnson, and anyrose/Dobson, we could pretty much have an alternate crew line-up for one of our later rounds! :D)
This is the Sidonian NPC who's been listed on the crew for ages, but who's only appeared once (well, now twice) without much description. This made her a perfect NPC into whom EH very generously allowed me to imbue new life as a PC, with help in character creation from both EH and others who shall remain nameless. Oh what the heck, 'twas CIAS.
Sidonia, as I learned from EH, was his own creation. No background, no info. A juicy blank slate! But now... drumroll please... I introduce you to the "official" page for Sidonia! (No, not really official. I made a plain HTML page using the Memory Alpha layout and mimicked their style, created some images, and faked a "Memory Theta" parody page. Notice there's only one page in the wiki! But the definition links all go to legit Memory Alpha pages.)
Am I crazy to have gone into such detail with this? Yes. Is it news that I'm crazy? Of course not. I started with two ideas: Sidonia sounded like the Lebanon city of Sidon, so it was a desert planet, and thus a semi-reptilian humanoid made sense. I also wanted a more mature character who's 180 degrees from Kylah--still some depth but waaay less angsty. And third, I imagined her being played by Gina Torres. Those were my starting points.
Since I couldn't really use Gina Torres, I found a model who looked a bit like her or at least reminded me of La Torres, added scales, and voila: Lt. Ve'ne'ko'nia'onn, or Lt. Nia Onn as she's known in Starfleet. EH will be putting up her profile soon I believe.
Thanks very much Elendil's Heir for letting me play doubles, and to both EH and CIAS for helping me flesh out Sidonia and Nia herself!

Very well done, but you didn't have to create a separate account to do that.
Thanks! But dang, girl, are you worried about the forum running out of space or something? First I didn't have to start a new thread in the Apocrypha, now I didn't have to create a new account... EH said it was fine, and I think it'll make it easier to keep things separate between Kylah and Nia. This way people will see the choie icon and know it's a Kylah post, and they'll see Nia's face and think, well, Nia. (In future, if she ever goes on a mission, it'll be a cinch for me to organize her posts, too, since they'll be under one account instead of mushed in together with the Kylah stuff.)
Yeah! What she said! :devil:
::sheepishly returns to her little world and contemplates a separate account for playing Dobson::
Thanks, SidonianGal (aka choie). Well done. The character profile is now in post 6 here: http://www.mellophant.com/forums/sho...acter-profiles. Her name was alphabetically next after Kylah's, so it fit right in there.
Needs a slight editQuote:

Thanks for the greeting of my doppelganger, and for the profile placement, EH! I forgot she'd be right after Kylah. Funny, that!
Also, I love Johnson, he's a keeper. And a surprising yet completely in character mention of Ferguson... I was wondering if that little hissy fit ol' Ferg threw in the rec room had spread. Johnson's the ideal person to have heard the scuttlebutt, too.
AH HA! I knew it! says Graham, his tendency to see a lesbian behind every couch finally vindicated....Quote:

Just in case you were wondering why the ship had a compliment of cooks, the ships were fitted with Food synthesizers until the end of the century to supplement what the ship's cooks provided. They didn't really have replicators.
http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Food_synthesizer
This is, of course, EH dependent :D
There's nothing in ST canon to say that replicators weren't introduced aboard Constitution-class starships soon after ST:TOS. So for our game, they have been. It only makes sense to have some cooks aboard, too, for special occasions, for those who can't or won't eat replicated food, in case of a breakdown of the still-early-model replicators, etc.
Two or three more posts apiece, let's say, and I'll fast-forward to tomorrow morning and the ship's arrival at Anubis.
Are the large windows in the observation lounges still called portholes? I googled and couldn't find an appropriate term.
"Viewport" is the usual term: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Viewport
Thank you.
Wait, there's a mission on this mission? Now back to Star Trek: Days of Our LivesQuote:

Now it's my turn to ask a basic question: are the lounges where people can go to get drinks? And which one is the farthest from wherever Collins and Cooper are? Because while I doubt Nia would bat an eye, her author would rather not go anywhere near that particular tableau. :) Is the one on Deck 20 safe?
No worries. Cooper closed and locked the door. ;) :dance:
Crew lounges are bigger and usually more crowded than observation lounges, and yes, you can get drinks of all kinds there (Starfleet isn't "dry" like the U.S. Navy, fortunately). The OLs on the dorsal connection between the two main hulls are quite small, by comparison. The lounge on Deck 20 would be fine for Nia and any guest(s).
ETA: Just read anyrose's latest post. Boy howdy! This ain't your grandmother's Star Trek....
Welcome to Star Trek: Too Much Information :oQuote:

Meanwhile, Graham's less-than-enthusiastic reaction at the lounge is hilarious. Was his dinner laced with saltpeter?
Oh, as if you didn't know Onn's dramatic exit would be overwhelming for poor old Graham... :DQuote:
