Elendil's Heir - where might I find info about this alien?
I'm betting the only source is in EH's headElendil's Heir - where might I find info about this alien?

Yep this is an original species. All we know is that the Hwuen are from a non-Federation planet, and I believe it was mentioned that "Prolun" is indeed a title.
That helps me not at all. Isn't there a wiki entry somewhere?
Correct. I made 'em up. At this point I know only a little more than you do about them!I'm betting the only source is in EH's headElendil's Heir - where might I find info about this alien?
Erm... is Jeremi Collins in a wiki entry somewhere? Seriously, why would there be an entry for an original species that EH mades up?
Gimme a few minutes. I'll write one
Do you have a wiki stored away somewhere with details of this game in?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
no. I was being facetious. sorry. I'm not the writer in the group. You and choie are.
Hey, don't sell yourself short. Everyone involved in this game is a writer of one kind or another.
it's a damned good thing Collins isn't there. She'd have refused to kneel, politely bowed, and proceeded to ask questions without deference.
Graham would have offered to observe their customer provided they in turn observed the time-honored Terran custom of placing their mouths gently on his buttocks.
Yeeeeeah, that's probably why neither Collins nor Graham are on the fast track for leadership.But Kylah's not inclined to kneel either and I doubt Rangin is. She'll do whatever he does, at this point, because she's now thoroughly demoralized.
Rangin will try to hug it out with the Hwuen and perhaps invite them to a drum circle later that evening.
Graham recoils in melodramatic shock and horror at the suggestion he kneel. "Surely you do not mean that I should insult the Jaxo so grievously, implying that I, a mere Ensign, must lower myself in order to come down to his level!"
Upper clarification that the point of kneeling is to show respect, Graham looks relieved. "Of course, the Jaxo is worth the highest respect, our most profound gesture pointing to his superior station and ascendancy, what we call the Italian Salute!"
While he's on a roll, Graham gives Kylah a quick thumbs up as an aside.
The Jaxo is the gift that keeps on giving...
It's Easter, a double bank holiday in the UK, so posting will be very sparse until Tuesday.
Have fun all.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
I'm off work tomorrow myself. For those who celebrate either, Happy Passover and Happy Easter!
1. As someone who doesn't celebrate anything, it took me a few moments to sort out these posts: wait, it's Easter? isn't Easter usually on Sunday?
2. 50 quatloos to CIAS for Rangin not thinking "well he does have a lot of experience, what would Graham do" but rather the Jaxo seems like a jerk which reminds me of Graham and if I wanted to act like a jerk I should just emulate Graham
3. And the continuing saga...
Graham contacts the Yorktown and is surprised when Bennett answers. "The Captain is a little busy dealing with several attacking Hwuen ships," she says.
"Uh, yeah, about that," he asks. "Just hypothetically, if someone, say, started a war, would that make him or less attractive to you?"
LOL to Graham!
I do hope we get Collins back soon, although under the circumstances it doesn't seem very likely. Nothing against Dobson but playing a redshirt grunt doesn't seem like it offers anyrose a lot of flexibility. Also Collins has to pay up on a bet that anyrose lost to me out-of-game, heh heh.
Have a great holiday, CIAS and EH! Since the NPCs are so important here, and so is Rangin, it'll be rough doing anything without either of you, so I'd imagine the game will probably be on hold until whenever you get back.
And happy holidays to those who celebrate anything!
ETA just noticed Graham's call to Rangin. Talk about super-bad timing! No way can Rangin take this call right now, without causing even more rancor from the Hwuen.

stop calling me Neil, my name is Velir.

At least he didn't say Jeril.
Oh, snap!
Geeze, anyrose, you sure like to play antisocial characters! What is Dobson's major malfunction when it comes to interacting with her fellow crewman?
she's stolid. I looked it up. It means "calm, dependable, and showing little emotion or animation". She'd make a good Vulcan. I didn't design her, EH did. I would have made her more friendly, but I'm just playing the character as written.
I think "stolid" mainly means showing little emotion when other people might be freaking out. Not unfriendly or lacking social graces. Of course, if you want to play her that way, that's cool! It's just that even T'Var would be courteous enough to pay attention to her partner rather than basically not giving a crap whether he's with her or not. That isn't Vulcanesque, that's borderline sociopath!
I thought stoild was unemotional or impassive, not showing anything and definitely vulcan like. No whether Dobson is like that inside who knows.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Absolutely, but is someone who's outwardly unemotional really not going to even look at other people? Do they not care about others at all? That's more Data than Spock, IMHO (although even Data showed reasonable levels of social behavior prior to the emotion chip). But either way, it's anyrose's call.
This most be Graham's greatest dream and worst nightmare rolled into one.
Rangin is being really polite and respectful to me...why is Rangin being polite and respectful to me???
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
To be honest a little part of me died at hearing Rangin calling Graham "sir" like a menial. A true sign of Rangin's professionalism, but still, that's gotta hurt.
Not really, its an act for the Hwuen more than anything. Of course, Rangin is now waiting for Graham to follow it up...that's when the fun begins.

Graham is in charge of the mission after allNot really, its an act for the Hwuen more than anything. Of course, Rangin is now waiting for Graham to follow it up...that's when the fun begins.
But anyway, more importantly, I suspect that a sincere attempt to work together well by either one of them will somehow manage to cause even more conflict than if they were trying to antagonize one another...
It's one thing to get your crush's first name wrong, but last name, too?
Oh my God, LOL. HELLS no. CIAS or EH, pleeeeeeeease change this for me with your super-duper Admin powers?

Freudian slip?
Tell me about it -- considering the father/daughter issues going on, a very Freudian slip!!!
Someone has some serious explaining to do
Was so very tempted to run with it as it was.

It would be perfect fodder for the spin-off series Yorktown High:Someone has some serious explaining to do

Rangin leaves Chess Club early so her can confront Graham on his way to football practice.
"Stay away from my girlfriend," Rangin says in an amiable yet grave manner. Graham's blank stare confirms his vapidity to Rangin.
Graham stares at Rangin, confused. Wait, he thinks, Cheerleading Captain Bennett is Rangin's girlfriend? When did that happen?
But of course... but I see CIAS beat me to it.
Thanks - you just made my day.

Wow, looks like Rangin changed sex at some point in the last episode due to plot device X and the show are milking it for laughs.

Hall monitor Dobson steps between Graham and Rangin. "Principal Singh says no fighting inside the school. Take it outside, you two."It would be perfect fodder for the spin-off series Yorktown High:Someone has some serious explaining to do

I'm glad Kylah's not the only one who's having some name troubles.
BTW, I forget--do we know for sure that Mrs. Wilson hasn't been informed yet? I don't remember finding that out. Also, on a technical note, is there any lag time when placing a "call" to other planets? Not sure how that works in the ST universe.
Oy. Great, "you're a valued member of the team, Whatever-Your-Name-Is."I'm glad Kylah's not the only one who's having some name troubles.

Who would have told Mrs. Wilson?
As for who'd've told Babs Wilson: I dunno, one of the Hsus or someone else in WR&R Corporate? Would've been awkward (for Mrs. H.), I grant you, but it seems possible that someone who vaguely knew the family and worked closely w/Wilson may have been the bearer of bad tidings. (Actually I don't even remember if general WR&R corporate administration back on... uh, whatever planet they're based... know yet.) But I'm probably overthinking things as usual.
...it's all that mask wearing, very important to make sure you're talking to the right person.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Mrs. Hsu said that she was going to contact WR&R with the bad news, but not Mrs. Wilson. There would be a slight subspace communications lag, about 20 minutes or so, between OC3 and Wilson's family on Rigel IV.
Ah thanks, EH. Normally I'd be worried that we have a chick who lacks empathy coupled with a dude who lacks a certain... um, smoothness of tongue... in charge of telling a woman she's become a widow overnight. But Graham's own experience should--I hope--make him a good choice for bearing this unhappy message.
Hm maybe Kylah will start a war with the Hwuen...
Of course if that were to make her more attractive to Bennett (#2369), Graham will yet again be confounded by the lesbianism that apparently pervades Starfleet...in his mind...
Ah, Rangin and his gallant ways! I hope Kylah at least got a grab of Jaxo before Velir played Knight in Shining Armor.
LOL. Hmm, wait, there is no post #2369. Did Bennett mention somewhere that she has a 'thing' for warmongers or something?
You will, of course, note that Rangin has only asked if she needed help, nothing further.
