  1. The Founding of STAR TREK SIMULATION FORUM Nineteen years ago on the 31st day of July we had a dream. The dream came to fruition and continues to thrive to this day. Thank you to Admiral Atragon and to all who stepped forward to make it happen. Thank you to those who have come after and continue to make it prosper.
  2. Congratulations on 18 years.

  3. Overwatch Commander Jami Farrington, Starfleet Academy School of Medicine Temporarily Assigned to USS Manticore After a long and somewhat dangerous visit to New Las Vegas and a well earned rest on an isolated asteroid hidden within the asteroid belt, Jami Farrington relaxed in the command chair. Captain McFly seemed to be recovering well—so well in fact that he had been called to his ready room for a private conversation. LtCdr Faldek had returned from his previous post and was again the Operations Officer. Lt Lackey, new to Manticore but well versed in the ship’s handling, had taken Helm until LtCdr Mizu returned. All was running smoothly… so far…meaning that after serving 15 years aboard Manticore, Jami knew that ship had a mind of her own. As soon as the crew relaxed, the other shoe would drop. “Commander Farrington,” came through her com. She sighed. “Farrington here. Go ahead.” “Secure communication from Starfleet Command, ma’am. Where should I send it?” Taking a deep breath, she pushed off from the command chair and pointed to LtCdr Faldek to take over. “Send it to the bridge conference room,” she replied, hoping this would not take long. Since their departure it seemed that Faldek was bouncing from one place to the other, but he didn’t seem to mind. Stepping into the conference room, she secured the door, entered her code, and found herself eye to eye with Admiral Gren Dejariov, Commanding Officer of Starfleet Academy’s School of Medicine. “Jami?” he began with a questioning look as he put his PADD aside. “Hello, Admiral.” She forced a smile. “Hey. It’s me, Jami. Forget the ‘Admiral’ and tell me what’s going on. You were supposed to be back by now.” “Well, Sir… I mean Gren. It’s a long story, and nothing we expected. But it is Manticore.” “And Manticore has a mind of her own. Of course. I should have known.” After a long pause, he relaxed in his chair. “Let me guess. You haven’t even begun your observations.” “No, Gren. I haven’t.” “Okay.” Dejariov said, looking at the ceiling for a moment of thought. “Where are they sending you?” Blink. “Sir?” “Where… are they sending… the Manticore…and why?” “No idea, Sir.” Dejariov slapped a hand on his desk, almost overturning it. “Damn, I bet I know. And I’ll bet it’s Jaffee. Commander, if you find out, let me know and I...will...tan...her...hide.”

Erich Jaenke: :: Gets up and goes :: Thanks Doctor. McFly: Jaffee> Mhmm. I had hoped the recent events would have taught you a thing or two about minding command and authority. Gila Orrak: It's Gila...Erich. Cmdr JFarrington: +com+ All hands, report ready to depart.

Annika Sorenson: ::Exits onto the bridge and logs into her console at Science II:: McFly: Jaffee> ::raises eyebrow:: ............. Captain. I'm sending you to the Pallus sector. McFly: Sounds fun, what's there? Erich Jaenke: +Bridge+ Engineering green Gila Orrak: +Bridge+ Sickbay ready Callista Tyrel: :: enters engineering and heads to the Pool Table near the warp cores :: Hello Chief! LtCdrFaldek: :: turns and acknowledges Annika behind him:: Annika Sorenson: ::notes the other Cardassian:: Sir ::respectful nod:: Cmdr JFarrington: :::nod::: Take us out of orbit Mr Lackey. Half impulse. Callista Tyrel: Looks like everything is where we left it. :: smiles :: Erich Jaenke: Hello Tyrel. I appeared to have slept for a good portion of our visit to that...place. McFly: Jaffee> Not much these days. The only inhabitable planet is known as Pallus four. It has few animal species but no intelligent life. A research team was excavating and recently became gravely ill. They don't have a large medical facility to investigate and so we're sending you to give them a hand. Hopefully all is needed is a good hypo spray. McFly: ...Wha-what, that's it? McFly: Jaffee> Yes McFly: Like, can't you send a medical ship for that? Cmdr JFarrington: Commander Faldek, Mr Lackey will need assistance to weave through the asteroid belt. McFly: Jaffee> You're closer. ::looks over what appears to be a padd:: Are you in an asteroid field? Callista Tyrel: Maybe that is what you most required. I got some sun...and a few hours of peace. That was nice. LtCdrFaldek: Do you want full resolution tactical scans, I could shoot a few asteroids... Cmdr JFarrington: Full resolution scans.::trying not to grin:: McFly: Yeah, don't worry about that. I mean, we're a special ops ship. Shouldn't we be dealing with an attempted government coup or-or, starting a government coup? Erich Jaenke: Yes. It was the doctor and I. Cmdr JFarrington: However.. .let's not shoot anything. We're hiding from some personnel from New Las Vegas. LtCdrFaldek: Aye. ::Starts a full resolution scan of the asteroid belt on the course we're on.:: Sending route and scans to the helm. Callista Tyrel: Gila? I hope she was not bored down there. McFly: Jaffee> Captain, I've read the recent reports. I would think you and your crew would welcome an easy mission. Erich Jaenke: She stayed with me the entire time, so most likely. Cmdr JFarrington: Lackey> ::checks the area over::: Thank you, sir. It helps. McFly: I mean, yeah I guess. I just feel, sending us to a desolate planet to help cure a cold is better dealt by someone else. McFly: Jaffee> ::sighs:: Annika Sorenson: ::scans the area and provides sensor scan assistance if necessary:: McFly: What? You know we're worth more. Cmdr JFarrington: We will await the captain's orders as to where we go from there. McFly: Jaffee> You're an ass. McFly: Yeah Callista Tyrel: I regret not spending more time with Gila lately, but it seems she was busy caring for you. McFly: Jaffee> Look. Of course there's more to this than a mere cold. Command is hoping it's something simple that can be figured out easily by your medical staff. But listen... How well do you know your history? Erich Jaenke: Yes... :: thinks :: She is hard to read. McFly: I didn't sleep through all of it. Annika Sorenson: ::would have also have liked spending more time with Gila too, but it was nice spending some time with Cal though:: Cmdr JFarrington: ::relaxes in the command chair, thinking:::: Erich Jaenke: :: taps the console :: LtCdrFaldek: According to sensors we're nearing the edge of the asteroid belt Commander. ::Tappity tap tap:: Callista Tyrel: Yet, the asteroid...there were only a handful of people down there. Perhaps it was a break from reading people anyway. Cmdr JFarrington: Mr Lackey, we're far enough out to go to three-quarter impulse. Cmdr JFarrington: Lackey> Aye, ma'am. Going to three quarter impulse. McFly: Jaffee> Alright, well, Pallus four has not always been empty of intelligent life. At one point there was a full civilization pretty new to warp, not unlike we were, maybe a bit younger. This was before the Federation, even before the Prime Directive. Something happened and the planet came down with an unknown virus. McFly: I don't remember hearing about any of this. Erich Jaenke: :: shakes his head :: I think she has had mental training... Cardassians... Callista Tyrel: Maybe I should ask Gila to train my brain to not blast your brain with my ....uhm... energy. McFly: Jaffee> Because it was kept under wraps. See they reached out for help but that was when the Xindi attack against Earth happened. Starfleet at the time forgot about them to deal with the threat. McFly: That sounds very Starfleet. Cmdr JFarrington: :::turns to Faldek::: Is Mr. Faliver aboard? Callista Tyrel: :: returns gaze to Power Grid flow management :: Erich Jaenke: :: Looks :: No significant slowdowns. Callista Tyrel: After what I saw on that Asteroid, it appears my career is going to have moments of beauty and...well... horror. :: stares at Pool Table :: Erich Jaenke: More of the latter if your career on this ship is long. LtCdrFaldek: I'm not sure ma'am. Internal sensors are down due to a diagnostic. McFly: Jaffee> Yes, well, next thing they know all the people are gone. The planet has been designated empty ever since. Recently Starfleet research has gotten the OK to excavate and learn what happened to them. But we're afraid this illness could be related to whatever wiped out those people. Cmdr JFarrington: Not surprised. I know we didn't leave anyone behind, but he could be gathering his wits after New Las Vegas. McFly: ::thinks for a beat:: I can't imagine the two are unrelated. Callista Tyrel: who is the resident psychologist on board...? Sounds like he or she probably is the most important on board. BrenFaliver: ::Drags himself, clean and in a pressed uniform, but with eyes almost squeezed shut, onto the bridge where he sits in Science-2, because it’s closer.:: McFly: Jaffee> Let's hope they are. But until we know for sure I urge you to take the utmost precaution when dealing with the research team and especially the planet. Erich Jaenke: :: thinks about that question :: Ugh, it may be Gila. I'll have to check. McFly: Will do. I'll alert medical to setup appropriately. McFly: Jaffee> Keep me informed. BrenFaliver: Science... ready to depart, Commander.... Callista Tyrel: I'll check on that. Although a Cardassian might have an interesting take on the human mind. Cmdr JFarrington: :::Faldek::: Anything on the screen that we need to know about when we exit the asteroid belt, Commander? Erich Jaenke: They are mostly cultural differences, though there are some gender norms. McFly: Oh, Admiral, ::large cheeky smile:: I knew you wouldn't send us on no lame ass vaccine mission. Annika Sorenson: ::moves to another science console:: Welcome back, boss. McFly: Jaffee> ::rolls her eyes then cuts off the comm:: Cmdr JFarrington: +Bren+ Understood. LtCdrFaldek: Looks good from here, Commander. Callista Tyrel: Hmm... someday we will get over there and I will learn a lot more. :: taps diagnostic panels :: BrenFaliver: ::Looks at Annika... or, actually, turns his pained face to Annika, and says something very quiet that could be interpreted as a greeting:: McFly: ::chuckles to himself; stands up and heads for the door; walks out to see everyone on the bridge and Commander Farrington:: Commander! Annika Sorenson: ::hopes he's okay, and continues to work from her console:: McFly: We're heading to our next mission, ::looks over at Lt Lackey:: Pallus IV, wherever that is. Cmdr JFarrington: :::stands and moves over, congenial nod::: Captain. Annika Sorenson: ::glances over to the captain, looks up Pallus IV on her console:: Cmdr JFarrington: We are about to exit the asteroid belt, awaiting your orders. McFly: You staying with us or do we drop you off at the next moon? ::toothy smile:: BrenFaliver: ::types into his console to pull up a datasheet on this destination. Momentarily confused at no results for 'Pallus Four":: Annika Sorenson: ::Doesn't find too much either:: Another uninhabited planet? Cmdr JFarrington: ::::smile, chuckling::: I'll be with you for a while, Captain. Medical things, actually. Then we got into New Las Vegas and everything cratered. McFly: Lt Lackey > Course enabled, Captain, ready to engage. BrenFaliver: ::types to Annika, refusing to add more sound to the world:: "Any suggestions on a migraine cure? I've never had one this bad!" Annika Sorenson: Suggest some aspirin hypos. I'm sure Dr. Orrak has a good stock of migraine hypos. Callista Tyrel: :: chuckles :: my holo exercise tyrant is going to kill me for having so much time off lately. McFly: Good, medical, could use that. People might die. Cmdr JFarrington: Well... hopefully not. McFly: No pressure. McFly: = /\ ======= PAUSE SIM ======= /\ = McFly: = /\ ======= PAUSE SIM ======= /\ = McFly: = /\ ======= PAUSE SIM ======= /\ = McFly: Jami, comments? Cmdr JFarrington: Just wondering where we're going. But you might want to tell us next week. It sounded scary. A meeting next week? Callista Tyrel: department head briefing… coming soon next week! McFly: Will probably do a TBS of 5 hours. Everyone will have heard by that time so when we start the next sim we can arrive in the sector. McFly: Unless you guys WANT to do a senior staff meeting. I mean I don't want to ruin anyone's fun. LtCdrFaldek: I don't mind staff meetings. Callista Tyrel: aye copy the plan sir McFly: I'll leave it to a vote. You guys can reply to the log email. You want a senior staff meeting to learn the mission or just do a long TBS and get to the sector. Cmdr JFarrington: Lots of stuff in there. You would get to point on the screen. BrenFaliver: lol McFly: I do like to point McFly: Alright then. Any questions or comments? Callista Tyrel: none here Cmdr JFarrington: Point well taken. We can be on the way while we have a staff meeting. BrenFaliver: Maybe do a staff briefing log? Best of both worlds? McFly: Well yeah, that would be the idea. Cmdr JFarrington: Lt Lackey won't mind. BrenFaliver: We get some story, we hit the next session in sector? McFly: All good suggestions, hit me up in email with them Callista Tyrel: good night! Cmdr JFarrington: We get to hit him. Cool. McFly: If nothing else, let's enjoy one last week of peace before we all die of a bad staff infection and be... DISMISSED!

So... if the clearance is so high, the dirty work is done, then your death completes the circle. Wraps it up in a nice bow. Annika Sorenson: Unless it's just a drinks bot. Kansas Kenickie: Doesn't sound like a good bow. Gila Orrak: You really think they will give us information? We all look like a cadet review. Cmdr JFarrington: ::head-tilt toward the admiral::: Anything I can do to help, Sir? Kansas Kenickie: they’re throwing me off to prison I guess. Annika Sorenson: I look like a beach bum. Callista Tyrel: No we look like tourists...:: points to tank and shorts....no uniform :: Gila Orrak: So a cadet review on vacation. Cmdr JFarrington: (Aren't you supposed to look like a beach bum?) Annika Sorenson: ::Door chimes, a young dude comes in with their drinks:: Annika Sorenson: (Yesss) Erich Jaenke: It's one of Keb's bows.

Erich Jaenke: 13... your lucky number. Kansas Kenickie: that's it. Kansas Kenickie: ::Smirky smile:: Callista Tyrel: :: looks anxious :: Annika Sorenson: Dude> Uhh, yeah, I think so. They don't really tell us anything about what happened. No, it doesn't happen here at all. New Vegas is very safe, I mostly know everything from the news. No additional shootings or explosions, so I think the lockdown will be lifted tomorrow, if all goes well. Erich Jaenke: You need more? You know the prosecution often only charges a person on ones that stick. Callista Tyrel: So we are to stay in our rooms? Annika Sorenson: Dude> That's the last thing I heard, yes. I saw on the news, the police are still investigating the shootings and explosions. Kansas Kenickie: this place wired ::Swirls finger around the room:: or is this lawyer prisoner private. Callista Tyrel: Okay...uhm....did anyone get hurt? I was hoping my ...massage date...was..unharmed . :: looks dumb :: Erich Jaenke: Want me to probe your mind? Bet they can't sniff that.

Annika Sorenson: Dude> ::sets down the drinks and food:: You can reschedule your appointments free of charge given what happened. No worries there. ::smiles:: I don't think too many people got hurt, but I'm not entirely sure. Again, nobody really tells me anything. I only just started here last month. Callista Tyrel: :: gestures to Gila to put whatever that...gun looking thing in her hand is down for the moment :: Erich Jaenke: I am wired up, thanks to our doctor. Gila Orrak: :: Puts it down :: Callista Tyrel: Well...we just wanted to know when we can have fun on the strip.....we don't want to cause any trouble. Kansas Kenickie: McRoy> Why would I trust you? Cmdr JFarrington: Why would you not trust me, sir? Erich Jaenke: :: Uses his Betazoid ability to peer into KK's mind :: Annika Sorenson: Dude>. Yeah, yeah. No problem. I wish I could be more help. I'd just keep watching the news broadcasts to keep yourselves in the loop. That's what I've been doing. Good day ladies. I hope you have a pleasant rest of your stay. Kansas Kenickie: ~I have finished off more than 13.... maybe more than 100~ Erich Jaenke: ~one hundred.... :: his voice echos :: Was this a single mission... mission..... ~ Kansas Kenickie: McRoy> you are with them ::Points up:: with the tug boat so you are guilty like her.

I'm a doctor. Annika Sorenson: Dude>. You're welcome. Good-bye. ::leaves the girls, heads onto his next delivery:: Cmdr JFarrington: Just because I'm on that ship doesn't make me guilty, sir.

Doesn't surprise me though. ::takes her drink and sips:: Cmdr JFarrington: ::refrains from laughing about the tug::: Aye, sir. :::exits his office and moves down the corridor toward the brig::: Erich Jaenke: ~ McRoy ~ :: Is enjoying a new mind :: Kansas Kenickie: ~ him, you.... anybody really. it is what I do best~ Cmdr JFarrington: :::turns the corner and is stopped by security, asking for credentials, which she supplies, explaining that she's a doctor::: Callista Tyrel: Well Gila, at least I am getting some research done for one of my alter egos.....Dabo Girl. :: a small laugh :: Erich Jaenke: ~ Sounds like you have issues well beyond McRoy, the killings... Kansas Kenickie: Did you ever wonder why I was tossed onto the Manticore? Gila Orrak: Do you know what you are getting yourself into. I heard a story about an officer named Jamieson who played that game. Annika Sorenson: ::giggles:: Kansas Kenickie: ~~ it isn't a problem, it is a job... I can't help it that I am good at it~~ Callista Tyrel: :: reclines on bed :: uh oh..how is said officer? Annika Sorenson: Why does that name sound familiar? Erich Jaenke: ~ Tries to calm things :: Cmdr JFarrington: ::security dude allows her access::: Erich Jaenke: ~ So, what's with the crystal? Calling old favors? ~ Kansas Kenickie: ~~ There are deeper sections then 31... ever think about that?! Cmdr JFarrington: :::slowly walking toward them, she stops, waiting for their attention::: Erich Jaenke: ~ Section 31...a? ~ Callista Tyrel: I just think, given the ship we are on and the experience on Mork's world...an alter ego might be of use. This is just initial research. Kansas Kenickie: ~~ a deeper section, one that... gets rid of people who are in the way~ Erich Jaenke: ~ I would do that on the ship, recycling the waste ~ Cmdr JFarrington: ::they seem fairly well... at least not beat up::: Annika Sorenson: I wonder who I'd be? Callista Tyrel: I don't know...but I think Gila can help us! Kansas Kenickie: ~ oh Lord I didn't get rid of the bodies.. not all of them~ Cmdr JFarrington: (lol) Gila Orrak: :: Following behind :: Help with us? Callista Tyrel: ( Jami is watching a telepathic conversation ) Erich Jaenke: ~ You know this lets me in on some things ~ Cmdr JFarrington: (true...she knows Erich very well... from long ago) Callista Tyrel: Well...someday...on Manticore, on a mission we might have to be something other than an Engineer or a Scientist. Right now....I am playing tourist....I think. Kansas Kenickie: ~ I am telling you more than McFly knows, I know I can trust you.... or kill you... which you know that too~ Erich Jaenke: ~ I'm not going that deep, so, I'll ask again, what do you wish to do? ~ Kansas Kenickie: ~you know I can. I don't know. Can you bust me out?~ Cmdr JFarrington: (prepare to pause) Annika Sorenson: I am also a tourist Callista Tyrel: I think with your brains Annika you can be anything.

Callista Tyrel: I found that interesting Commander Farrington was watching both of you have a mental conversation. Kansas Kenickie: it's Canadian time. Annika Sorenson: XD Erich Jaenke: Erich leaks. Kansas Kenickie: mental talk is always an honest answer Cmdr JFarrington: Heh... she was wondering what they were talking about, but since they're in the brig, she had a pretty good idea. Cmdr JFarrington: Canada eh? Anyway... anything else? Kansas Kenickie: I have nothing Callista Tyrel: none here. Cmdr JFarrington: All righty... Cmdr JFarrington: Crew dismissed. Be well. Be Safe.

  15. ~MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF YEARS AGO~ By K.Kenickie The Academy campus was silent and the students were tucked away in their dooms studying for their finals. Others were putting the finishing touches on the exams that were to come. Kansas had picked the perfect night to complete her first solo mission. Some people would rather have the hustle and bustle of a busy campus to blend into, but not her. The sound of silence was all she needed to know that she was alone. All shades were pulled down and she had the place to herself. Even if there was a prying eye all they would see was another student walking across the quad. she had acquired a uniform, blonde wig and would blend in perfectly. Kansas stopped in front of the Apollo science building. She counted three windows across and four up. That was her target: a science nerd asking too many questions and poking the wrong bear. She removed a small device from her pocket and turned it on. It was the size of a ring box, but it had the power to take down every camera around her. She pulled her gloves on and started her climb up the side of the building, staying as close as she could manage in this gravity level. She knew her prize once she finished this mission: she would be the youngest in operations history to pass all her skills missions and a solo kill. She could move forward and have her pick of team operations or solo missions. Kansas froze. She was so deep in thought that she almost missed the sound of people walking across the quad, the shrill cackles of girls returning to their dorm from the library. Kansas tried to pull herself closer to the side of the building. She had decided to free climb the building—there would be no signs of her presence that way. She had one more level to climb. She wanted to sigh, her tolerance of fleet children was slim. The little Fleeters thought that they were the rulers of the stars... if they only knew how easy they had it. Once the quad drew silent, she started up to the fourth floor. The lights of the office were still on and that meant that her target was still hard at work, her hand slipped slightly on the ledge of the windowsill.... someone was expecting her, and dusted the ledge. Leaving no sign or evidence was clearly not an option anymore, she decided to climb higher than the ledge. So much for no sign. She hammered a climbing loop above the window, quickly slid the climbing cable into the loop and snapped the d-loop into the hook and hung freely from the building, then leaned back. Silently rotating upside down she was now standing on the top of the window looking in. Her target was busy- busy working away on his newest project. Kansas pulled out her key spanner and easily opened the lock to the window and turned off the alarm at the same time. She smirked as she returned the spanner to her belt and slid the window open without a sound. Kansas loosened climbing cable pushed off the building and landed in the lab crouched down making the slightest of noise. Doctor Whitehead was deep in thought examining the slides, then abruptly looked at his PADD. Kansas observed him for a moment, she couldn't see anything nefarious or criminal about the man. He was tall and lanky with a full head of white hair all disheveled; his lab coat was just as messy. Kansas didn't want to know what kind of yuck was on that thing. But it wasn't her job to think about the targets, her job was protecting those who couldn't handle the realities of the universe. It was time... Kansas walked up behind the Doctor and stood there for a moment. Did she want her first kill to be so easy? Then again... tomorrow is another day. Another day, another kill. Kansas pulled her knife and took a thick, tight grip of the Doctor's hair. She clearly startled him, from the sounds of his gasps and lack of struggling - her knife slid through his throat like it was melted butter. She let go of him and he dropped to the ground.... it had all gone as planned, maybe not getting blood all over herself but practice makes perfect. "HEY YOU!!" shouted someone from the door. Kansas tightened her cable and leaped out the window, pulled herself up to the climbing loop, put her feet against the top of the window and pulled on it until it released. When it did release Kansas could feel herself free falling to the ground below, but somehow she was able to grasp the ledge to the second windows ledge. She dangled there holding on with one hand, slowly got her footing and started the rest of her descent. By now alarms inside the building were blaring and security would soon lock the place down. With very few options, Kansas slid behind a Yew bush that was growing against a brick wall. She removed her cadet uniform, pulled the wig off and poured lighter fluid over all of it. She was left in a black tank top and matching shorts, pulled her hair back, and hoped that they would buy that she was an evening runner. She lit the clothes and wig on fire and slid down the long wall of yew bushes, scratching herself up in the process. Once she thought she was far enough away from both incidents she jogged out from behind the bushes and jogged off to the safe haven of the docks. ~ Gilbert sat on the floor next to his professor and couldn't help but cry. Security officers were asking him a million questions at once. Maybe it was shock or the trauma of watching the only person in his life that gave a damn about him get his throat slit open in front of him, but one thing he was sure of... he would never forget the face of that bitch and he would do everything he could to get her... make her suffer. "Cadet McRoy??... Cadet McRoy, we have questions that only you can answer." Repeated the security office for the third time.
