  1. Hello friends, I realize this sim has long been retired. My wife enjoys painting with pastels and recently put together this blast from the past (future?). I thought I would add it to the archive. :) ~Davies
  2. Wow, what an interesting topic. This what something I thought a lot about when Agincourt was in its infant planning stages. From my perspective, I thought it was both unfair and unreleastic for Agincourt to (essentially) be the future for every STSF sim. A future sim could determine the past just as easy as a present or past sim could determine the future. I think every sim is an interpretation of what GMs and players see in Gene Roddenberry's universe. For Agincourt, I essentially took everything that we had been given by official Trek canon and speculated what 1) the future might be like and 2) adding my own elements to the future where I felt Trek was lacking. Therefore, since every sim is an interpretation, I do not think it is really possible for two sims (unless they have similar leadership and are time-concurrent) to really share a consistent and defined timeline. That being said, sharing a timeline with another sim, or coorindating efforts is very cool as long as all sides are flexible (as Travis said) or are willing to be a little fuzzy on the time and dates (as Joy said in the Aegis string).
  3. Davies' Logs Captain Simeon Davies Commanding Officer USS Agincourt NCC-81762 Somehow, a Captain always knows his final voyage. Sitting in command of the tertiary section, something inside of him told him that he would be going in with his crew, but not coming out. For Davies, this was the end. It was clear that he would not be the one to see their mission to completion. Yet, ends are not always bad things, for ends themselves produce new beginnings. So in a sense, this was not his final voyage, but a gateway to new life and hope. There was a greater calling on his life, and it was his responsibility to respond. Someday he will return, and in the twinkling of an eye, all things will become new. Until that time… “Farewell.”
  4. Here is a screen shot I took tonight. Anyone live near the Dennis Metropolitan area? :P
  5. “Fresh Set of Downs” In order to play football, you have to know the rules. The same is true when in the position of Starfleet Captain. In order to be in Command, you have to know how the game is play. Every job contains some elements of politics. No job is completely devoid of it. There is always a system, some way of doing something, things that will help you get ahead and things that will set you back. Captain Davies didn’t get to his position by refusing to participate in the political game known as Starfleet. He knew, like most aspiring officers, that in order to taste the promised land, he had to play the game, and play it well. Why, then, would he start doubting his ability to play the game? Was the prospect of failure really greater than his experience could counter? Davies inwardly lamented his conversation with Colonel Harper, though she had helped him realize that he was no shabby officer. He was shrewder than anyone probably realized. All it takes is a little reminder once in awhile of how far you’ve come, rather than focusing on how far you have to go. In football terms, Davies had just begun the second half, and he had overcome adversity and built a decent lead. It was up to him whether he would fight to keep it. Backup quarterbacks wait in the wings like wolves, but they cannot enter the playing field until the starter proves he is nothing more than a sheep, in wolf’s clothing. Davies felt relieved. “Sometimes all it takes is a fresh set of downs”

  10. “How Far Does Your Folly Go, Tobias?” Davies felt awkward walking around in a bio suit on his own ship. Nevertheless, he needed to settle the score with Tobias, now guest quite unwelcome. As Davies approached the secured area, the large and rough man moved sympathetically toward the force field. “Captain, if there’s anything-“ said Tobias cut-off in mid-sentence by Davies. “There’s not,” Davies replied dryly, “Now you listen to me, and you listen to me carefully.” Davies paused a little for drama’s sake, then continued. “I’m not going to even get into what possible charges await you once you reach Travae, but if you have any more information that would be pertinent to this mission, I suggest you come forward with it now.” Tobias, regaining his composure, “There is a dealer, known only as Articus, in the central city. He is the one that we purchased the weapon and vaccine from. He has a corner on the market though, so you will need to offer him something of value. He will not give in easily.” Davies responded sharply, “You’re telling me that after all we’ve been through because of you, that now we’re required to barter with a man who may demand a price too high? How far does your follow go Tobias?” “Again Captain, if there’s anything-“ Tobias said being cut off again. “There’s not!” shouted Davies, “I just can’t wait to get you and your religious mystics off my ship!” Inwardly, Davies was thankful for the new piece of information, but outwardly he still looked mad as heck. Davies shook his head then left the holding area. On his way out he nodded to the guards before heading up the Turbo Lift. “Who do we have that would be good at cutting a deal?” Davies thought to himself. Snapping his fingers almost immediately, “I know just the person, and thank everything, it’s not Major Vaos.”
  11. So, basically you're saying it's L.A.'s shore leave East?
  12. Do you believe in the prophecy? From the moment Tobias saw the sign, his faith grew. He and his people had believed all of their life, but only then did they feel a sense of validation. Three hundred years previous a monk from a country called Nepal made international headlines with a series of prophecies, that unlike most prophecies, actually came to pass. The monk, Alleyoho Sauyandra, accurately prophesized the coming of the third world war, the subsequent times of plague and famine, as well as the attack on Earth by the Xindi in 2153. Since the Sauyandra passed away in 2177, his prophecies and teachings gained followers numbering in the thousands. Although most in the West rejected his teachings, many in the East were drawn to what he had to say. Eventually, when several additional prophecies proved to be false, the number of followers dwindled to a few hundred. Nevertheless, Saurandra foretold that “Near the Atlantic’s tide, the unity of three would be tried. Guilty says fate, and not a moment too late. Who will remain after the purge?” Originally, this was interpreted to foretell the Xindi attack on Earth, but Sauyandra theologians tell this to mean something greater. The unity of three, theologians believe to be the alliance between the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans. The first line they believe was fulfilled after the bombing of the VDC. After the sign of the VDC, Tobias knew it was time to go. Sauyandra theologians believed that the second and third lines of the prophecies meant that something greater was going to happen to Earth than the Xindi attacks and that staying around after the sign would be suicide. So Tobias gathered his wife, his son of nineteen, and two of his good friends, Shalmor and Brayton and set off for the Southwest corner of Federation space. When the troubles with the shipping lines emerged, however, Tobias feared for the safety of his friends and family. This reason prompted him to find other means of survival. Tobias hired a freighter that would take them to one of Star Fleet’s unmanned outposts. These outposts were rarely maintained and would allow them a place to stay until the problems with the shipping lines were resolved. In order to remain hidden, Tobias acquired a spare power generator in case the power went out, as well as a life-sign masker. They also brought along food stores for up to a year as well as two menacing dogs. Until the arrival of the Agincourt, Tobias had been in contact with no one from outside his friends and family for over six weeks. Now, Tobias and company found themselves staring eye to eye with several Starfleet officers. They killed his dogs, stolen his puppies, but he still had a bargaining chip up his sleeves. He had knocked Williams out when he came down to the second level and now Williams lay unconscious on the floor beside him. “Do you believe the prophecy?” he asked them.
  13. I like the nautical feel behind the SF symbol, though I'm not sure I like the S T S F...it comes across a little blurry.
  14. Welcome aboard! :)
  15. Happy Anniversary! May your next eight years be as good as your past!
