Yup, 'tis. Thanks.
Anyone else take the quiz?

I didn't take the quiz--unless all the questions are "Who's the captain of the ship?" I'll get a zilch.
Hmm. I have a hard time believing that.
A mere 15. I am lame.
Or maybe that means I had more of a life than I thought I'd had...
Don't worry, general. Your Kirkitude remains 110%.
Speaking of Kirkitude, hopefully Graham is within sight of Rangin so I can work in a couple chest bumps and fist-pumping choruses of "Security! Security! Fuck Yeah!" with his red-shirted colleagues for his benefit...Originally posted by Elendil's Heir
Heh - I got 16...on my second run through. Fairly certain I got less on the first time.
Aww, is widdle dumpling feeling jealous because Nia is talking to a real man.Speaking of Kirkitude, hopefully Graham is within sight of Rangin so I can work in a couple chest bumps and fist-pumping choruses of "Security! Security! Fuck Yeah!" with his red-shirted colleagues for his benefit...

Yipe, cynical Rangin is beginning to creep me out a bit! :0
(Actually, Nia never called him by his first name since he didn't invite her to. That's why she mentioned at the end there that she hoped he'd consider reciprocating the informality.)
True, but she just switched back to calling him Ensign as if they were on duty instead if calling him Rangin...followed by walking out the door with Graham.

OMG I nearly snarfed my coffee, absolutely hilarious
Hmm I can't say I'm very impressed with this new PC, apparently a proto-Ferengi bent on selling useless stuff to his colleagues on the ship. I guess I'll have to see how he develops.
LOL. Tell me about it! Spam reported.
There's always one who just has to be different. I mean Ferengi aren't even in Star Trek until TNG.

Rats. I missed the excitement.

LOL, okay, if Collins gets permission to leave the Bridge a second time while already on watch (as I recall, Singh gave her permission for Collins to leave the Bridge in the last mission too, to see if Graham was awake, and then when Graham wasn't, Collins just hung around reading instead of returning to duty), I'm totally gonna call foul!
Admittedly there seems to be nothing for those of us on the Bridge to do, at least temporarily. Meta-wise, I assume something will be occurring, of course. But in-game, they don't know that. Maybe I should have Nia start a round of "Row, Row, Row your boat" or tell a few jokes to liven the place up.
Makes me realize it must be boring as hell when traveling from place to place on an interstellar ship, given the vast distances it travels. Do all these officers play FreeCell, Words with Friends or Angry Birds to keep their brains active across the light-years?
Now I kinda wish there were an episode of Trek where we literally just saw them sitting and staring at their monitors or listening to nothing but empty space.
Now that you mention it . . .
mentally runs through the TNG episodes where nothing dangerous was happening, just character enhancing things on board
Heheheh. Good things come to those who wait.
Ha, Jones is apparently telepathic, reading Collins's thoughts about the fingerprints. Collins's reaction was amusing, anyrose.
(It is surprising that Collins thought they didn't scan for fingerprints--she was in charge of the Wilson murder case where there was plenty of that DNA/scanning stuff going on. I guess the miscarriage knocked those memories from her brain, surprisingly enough.)
Can you elaborate on the sabotage stuff for those of us who weren't part of the first mission -- which is all of us but anyrose, now that I think of it? More and more I think we need a Wiki for this game...
Meanwhile, Rangin appears to have gone comatose at the thought of being under Graham's command on the Bridge. Poor guy!
In all honesty, Collins isn't the only one with sketchy memories - but I seem to recall that something had been done to a conference room in which the Yorktown officers were supposed to dine with their guests. It was six years ago in real time. And I don't have the patience to reread the entire mission. If I'm wrong, please let me know, and we can chalk it up to Collins having a flashback to one of her Elsewhere induced hallucinations.
Oh I hope you don't think I was correcting you re: the sabotage thing, because I have no idea what the real story is. I only read that first mission back when I joined, so yeah, the details are inevitably going to be hazy.
You're right. I've been thinking that myself, but just haven't had time to create one. I take some notes as we go but probably not as many as I should. I created an encyclopedia for the USS Monitor VGR-era RPG that WES, general_urko and I were in some years ago, and it got to be quite big by the end of that game.
Yorktown personnel may ask more senior/experienced crewmates, or check ship's records, if they want to learn more about what happened on earlier missions.
Apologies all for the slowdown in posting - work is really quite busy at the moment.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
No worries, and welcome back.
LOL, well played, general! I was absolutely not expecting that reaction, but it works perfectly. Heh. Graham really sees everything and makes it fit into the narrative already written in his head. Very human & realistic. (And also funny.)
Also that was a good question about the strange makeup of the group. It's like a bunch of nerdy civilians parachuting down into war-torn Syria without so much as an escort with a BB-gun.
Yeah, but they're Starfleet. Just because it's a Civil Advisory Group doesn't mean that they've not been trained. They could have resigned their commissions to take the post.
Why do I have this image of a small group all carrying clipboards and tut-tutting at everything?

Looks like my last post got ninja'd by CIAS - however, Graham speaking and completely ignoring the fact that Rangin just spoke kind of works if you ask me!
It also works that they have the same fidget
Ick that'll teach me to write a post and then get distracted so I don't have a chance to edit it. Besides the bad wording in a few places, there's the rather significant goof that Kylah says she was stunned on Anubis. But of course she wasn't--she was clubbed into unconsciousness. I think the main money-changer dude was holding a disruptor but I'm pretty sure he didn't use it.
Oh well. Kylah's mind is going loopy anyway. But now we know why at least 95% of my posts have "Edited by..." notes at the bottom! My first drafts always suck.
Join the club! I think it might have been Degas who said, "Great art is never finished - it is abandoned."
Going out of town - probably won't post again until Sun. night.
Have a good weekend
Hope you're having a fantastic weekend, EH! Well, the same for everyone else, too.
Yes, thanks - relaxed by a rural creek, read, swam, ate well, and visited with a good friend from high school and his family.
Boy, our new spammer reveals that the Doctor really has come down in the world. This never would've happened in the original Doctor Who.
If Graham would just look around to the Communications area, he'd see that some strange person is impersonating Kylah's superior.
D'oh! Thulle was another Andorian in our USS Monitor RPG. I'll fix it.If Graham would just look around to the Communications area, he'd see that some strange person is impersonating Kylah's superior.
Kirk, shmirk: Shatner and his ripped uniforms showing off some of his chest can take a backseat to Stewart and his bare... almost everything. Check out the bod on our dear knight, from a 1977 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream (as King Oberon):
Yowsa!

:drool:
I played Oberon in a high school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and confess I didn't look quite that good (I still remember my first line, though: "Ill-met by moonlight, proud Titania...!").
Ooops...I got ninja'd by EH and have been out since, just noticed, so my post #239 makes no sense in light of #238...
I was frankly astonished that Graham's reaction to the idea of Rangin leading the mission was so understated. I was expecting him to need some sedative.
Argh his initial reaction was pre-empted by Kylah & Collins...
Nice work by CIAS in post 240 kicking action back to Graham...I'll run with it...
"memory of a goldfish"? Honestly, what an awful...
wait....
what was I about to type?
Hm. I don't remember anyone posting before me...
I hope you appreciate that Nia spares her snark for no one. Kylah's been getting zinged plenty too.
I do enjoy writing her.
Let your snark flow through you....
Sounds like what happens when my allergies act up...
