Are we in a golden age of ST fan productions?: http://io9.com/were-living-in-the-go...-ri-1694710177
Just watch the pre-credits teaser. LOVE IT. Will watch when I am not so sleepy
Wow there's some great stuff. Although note what they said about Renegades:
But will they be able to put aside their differences and stop trying to kill one another in time to accomplish their mission?
The Yorktown's crew has already got this down...

Excellent - a new mission for us to get hopelessly lost in
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Fear not. I expect this will be a good bit more straightforward than the last one (if only for my own sanity's sake)....
the second half of my post is in green in case it needs to be deleted and posted as a separate item, based on what NPC Rawlings does.
Excellent! Sorry I'm late to the game!
Emphasis added. Uh oh, a little xenophobic Freudian slip?

Yikes! EH, please correct that to "from". ThanksEmphasis added. Uh oh, a little xenophobic Freudian slip?
Welcome back, general!
Actually, another good question would be... shouldn't Jeremi know Rawlings already? They're both in Security.

She's only been on the ship a few weeks (one mission longer than Kylah). She hasn't gotten to know all the security staff yet. And she didn't see him this last mission because she was already in Sick Bay when he joined the landing party.
That makes sense. Geeze, Vargas really should have thrown a "meet 'n' greet" party for his staff!
He did, but there was WAY too much drinking, and it's all still a blur for most of them.
Damn, the sickbay is run as efficiently as every doctor's office I've been in--waiting, waiting, waiting. Velir should use his new mental skillz to beckon T'Var over to him!
Sorry. Was waiting for WES - I PM'd her and really thought she would've checked in by now.
Last part of Rangin's raid, Rendez-Vous, is available in the Apocrypha.

Thanks!

1. Wow, Graham needs to someday learn the story of Rangin's raid: "So, let me get this straight - you tranq'd a guy and then watched him get eaten alive by a wild animal?"
2. EH may I offer a suggestion: [QUOTE=Elendil's Heir;246110] Depending on what we find, Dr. T'Var has said she's willing to perform a mind meld, painful, traumatizing, and humiliating internal probes using positively medieval devices in sensitive areas if it might be useful. Does that sound all right to you, Ensign?"
I swear Graham has more fantasies about Rangin than he does about Bennett. It's definite that Rangin is waaay more omnipresent in Graham's mind than Cecilia is! I think he should explore his true feelings a bit more.
Ha, ok, that's funny...I swear Graham has more fantasies about Rangin than he does about Bennett. It's definite that Rangin is waaay more omnipresent in Graham's mind than Cecilia is! I think he should explore his true feelings a bit more.
But I could retort that you haven't seen what I've PMd to EH
He really should have called in "I Am Not Spock's Son"
The sequel would be, Oh, Wait A Minute - I Guess I Am, After All.
CIAS, enjoyed the finale of Velir's adventure! Since I know very little about Coridan stuff and who are the bad guys in this situation, I didn't realize Velir would be in danger from a fellow Coridanite. Somehow I was expecting offworlders from the Orion Syndicate. Either way, that was pretty hardcore for dear unassuming Velir. That should be quite interesting for Kylah to learn, assuming it comes up in-game (as I hope it does!).
Sorry, Graham is just not Rangin's type. It doesn't matter how much you ask EH to make it so.Ha, ok, that's funny...I swear Graham has more fantasies about Rangin than he does about Bennett. It's definite that Rangin is waaay more omnipresent in Graham's mind than Cecilia is! I think he should explore his true feelings a bit more.

Also, the Orion Syndicate may have been run by the Orions, but there were plenty of races involved. Besides, where does it mention the person is either Coridanite, or even more saliently, male?

Hey I liked your story, I hope my confusion doesn't indicate otherwise!Also, the Orion Syndicate may have been run by the Orions, but there were plenty of races involved. Besides, where does it mention the person is either Coridanite, or even more saliently, male?I never considered what the victim's gender was, actually. Unless Velir eventually gets to dissect the Kellarox's stomach contents it's possible he may never know either.
Re: the Coridanite thing, I guess I was just going off this line:
But I realize now on second reading, it was just a general reference to the dose's strength.
Now, as an editor, if I were line editing this and I knew you wanted to emphasize that Velir still doesn't know whom he just shot and left to become a Kellarox's dinner, I might've recommended a simple addition: "...quite probably a fatal dose for a normal Coridanite. And who knows what race this particular target is, or how he or she might react? Too late to worry now, Velir thinks."
But really it was just my misunderstanding of Velir's thought process, my bad. I wouldn't mind a part #4 where he does somehow learn the unfortunate dinner's identity.
Just curious - in game time, it's gotta be be close to or after 19:00 by now, no?
No, closer to 1700 hours - just an hour after Collins went off-duty.
She was in the gym for an hour before dinner - surely it's much closer to 1800 than that?
That's at least an hour in the gym alone - you have to calculate time in the locker room to change into workout gear, and then a bathing suit, and at least another 20 minutes to shower and dress in her cabin

OK, we'll say it's 1730.
I hope Graham fills Collins in on exactly why Delaney got demoted. "Well, he kinda got me and Kylah fried by Hardin, in case you're wondering."
As ACSO, would Collins be in on Kjaerstad's demotion as well, or would that have been a unilateral Vargas decision? It seems like Graham & Collins would be gossiping about that too, since Kjaerstad was one of their own.
A fair question; something Collins, Kylah or anyone else might want to ask about in-game.
Interesting! Well, it's probably up to Graham... although I doubt he'll do it now that Ben's around. Maybe Ben will express curiosity in the latest announcement, although I doubt it since they don't seem to do much talking about crew goings-on (at least not onscreen). If neither of them mention it, I'll figure out a way for Kylah to bring it up.
Meanwhile in the unlikely event someone wants to read Kylah's message to her Guardian (the version that's kosher for even Section 31 to read), I set it down in Apocrypha as a scene called "The Message in Her Music" rather than taking up time in the game thread.
And it's funny that CIAS and I just cross-posted. Thank goodness Velir didn't get in touch with Kylah on his own, otherwise I'd've just wasted all my composition!

I think that bit of apocrypha could have been in the game thread, but that's just my opinion.
I agree, but it's also fine where it is.
Thanks! I wasn't sure it needed to clog up the thread since it's just character work and was so long (like, even longer than my usual posts!), especially once I added the Velir stuff as well. In the end I moved the primary important information--the nuances of Kylah's conflicted feelings toward Aldaan, which I don't think I've depicted well enough (I think I've made it seem like she straight-up hates him)--back from the Apocrypha to the regular post, since that seemed like a detail I'd want to show in-game. Does that make sense?
I do enjoy the formalities/doublespeak of the correspondence between Kylah/Aldaan.
BTW the Cobb salad thing was funny! I suspect Graham's not hugely aware of the ingredients list of salads. He seems like a meat/potatoes kinda guy.
Thanks - and yes, definitely!
"Vulcan pastries on him" - is that like body sushi???
There's a new Apocrypha story, sparked by a suggestion months ago from EH that I might write something showing Bennett & Kylah's first meeting. When I couldn't think of any ideas, CIAS came to my rescue and the result is Welcome Aboard, Ensign Kylah, which shows a few of Kylah's early encounters with the crew, including Andy Johnson, the ship's cook (who isn't on the crew list yet, but has been seen in the Chess w/T'Var thread and the Apocrypha story about Johnson/T'Var's tapas dinner). This will be a 3-part story.
Meanwhile, a kibitzing nudge to my fellow PCs: I dunno if it's just me, but I think we're supposed to be paying more attention to Singh and Cheverez in the mess hall.
It's just that EH has mentioned their activities in two posts, twice pointing out their intense conversation that's now continuing through their dinner. None of the other NPC characters are getting this much focus, so this might be a hint of some kind that EH wants us to interact with them in some way.
I could be and probably am wrong, of course. Still, maybe Graham and Collins can pop over to say hi or something, if they get a chance?

I don't know about Graham, who apparently has already left the mess hall, but when Collins is off duty, she's not likely to make uninvited small talk with her boss's boss.
Should Singh or Cheverez speak to Collins, she'll be friendly, but right now she's got other things on her mind.

I prefer to ignore clues!
Actually Graham's still there, just off in a corner.
I was going to have him drive by, actually.
So he missed the display of cute done especially for him?
He might have seen it, we'll see if he brings it up...
It might bring some food back up.He might have seen it, we'll see if he brings it up...
Uh oh. Are you meaning to imply EH should have Graham upchuck on the captain as he walks by? D'oh shouldn't have said that...It might bring some food back up.He might have seen it, we'll see if he brings it up...
You all come up with such interesting ideas!
Having some computer problems at home. You may not hear from me much this weekend.
Sorry to hear that, EH -- hope everything clears up for you. On the bright side, you can stay away from the computer and enjoy the weekend (hopefully the weather out there will be nice!).
