  1. 08.11.10 to 08.25.10

     

    It never rains, but it pours...everyone have an umbrella? Good.

     

    The explosion impact that rattled the Alliance appears to have been a photon torpedo; the Agincourt crew was blamed for the incident, and away teams (Engineering and Medical) assisting with repairs and medical on the Alliance were arrested. Their release was negotiated, though now the 'Court has many Romulan 'observers' overseeing the day to day operations on the Federation ship as the incident is continually investigated.

     

    Scans taken from the time of the incident/actual impact are also showing a spike in subspace activity, and subspace vacuole theories are being discussed among the scrambling Starfleet officers.


  2. 08.04.10 Agincourt Mission Update

     

    TBS: 20 minutes

     

    The situation is still critical regarding the test trial explosion that rocked the Alliance.

     

    Agincourt Engineering (Kairi, Murray, Karrigan) and Medical (Trenral, NPC Vaughn) away teams were unleashed to assist and help with the damage and injuries. Engineering teams find that Dheno -- Security -- officers from the Rihan contingent are already investigating the starboard area where the explosion occured; Trenral deals with several ciritical injury cases included ch'Maelic, the CENG of the Alliance.

     

    Bridge officers on duty (Harper, Tay, Caine) coordinate and track efforts among the teams as best they can; Security Officers (Caine, Taelya) coordinate NPC SECs where needed.

     

    The Marines (JoNs, Karo, Hefner) check out some non-classified Alliance specs in the NNC holodeck; traditional (Engineering, AUX Control) and non-traditional (Bridge, Medical, Security) entry point efforts are discussed in case a combat breach/situation against the Alliance would be necessary for whatever reason.

     

    Special thanks to Rihan guest stars NDak and Laehval tTemarr, who are playing most of the Rihan crew's senior officers during this adventure.


  3. The Agincourt is escorting a Romulan vessel on its shakedown cruise. The engineers who were touring were just sent back to Agincourt since the Romulans needed to conduct some tests -- that, and their ability to smile nicely at Federation people was fading -- and we are now flying tandem with the Alliance while it prepares for speed trials.

  4. 07.21.10 - No Sim

     

    07.28.10 Agincourt Mission Update:

     

    TBS: 10 Minutes

     

    The test trials continue as the joint Rihan/Federation Alliance is put through her paces by Rihan ships master Eveik and his engineering team and ships staff. The USS Agincourt continues her monitoring duties and joint support assignment with regard to the newborn ship.

     

    The trials seem to be going well, with some showing off as the Alliance hits 9.99, and the Agincourt maintaining a shadow speed of 9.98. Problems literally blow over the testing when a massive explosion ripples across the Alliance during the time/warp trial; the shiny new ship drops out of warp like a rock and the starboard side is severely crippled as a result of the boom-age.

     

    The ‘Court offers aid to the crippled ship, and said aid is accepted by ships master Eveik; the damaged vessel is tractored in a protective tether beam launched by the Starfleet ship, and our engineering and medical teams are mobilized.

     

    Currently, the crews are unaware if the Alliance explosion was external, such as a covert attack, or internal, such as a problem with the AQS singularity field.


  5. 07.07.10 to 07.14.10 Agincourt Mission Update

     

    07.07.10 TBS: 3 Hours

     

    07.14.10 TBS: 30 to 45 minutes

     

    An away team consisting of Mattingly (NPC), Karo, JoNs, Taelya, Murray, and Kairi beamed over to the Alliance in order to partake in a tour of the joint Federation-Romulan vessel. There were some inter-species tensions, but the touring officers as well as their hosts behaved themselves for the most part.

     

    The Alliance is, how shall we say, completely blinged out with all the current technological toys. An AQS warp drive system, state of the art Medical and EMH capability, a bridge that offers a full 360 tactical view.

     

    Meanwhile, the line officers who remained on the Agincourt minded the bridge as well as the Marine NNC operations.

     

    Per Colonel Harper: Next Sim, the away team has arrived back on board the 'Court, while the Alliance prepares for speed tests.


  6. And I'll tell you what! For a new fan who is just this year learning about the game, nothing beats watching the World Cup while sitting *right* next to (and I do mean next to) Katee Sackhoff, Edward James Olmos, and Dominic Keating in the Marriott - along with a few other STSF GMs! As one kitteh would say, Wooo....!!

     

    Viva Espana!!

     

    w0oT! w0oT! Never thought we'd be sitting next to Captain Starbuck and Admiral Husker from the Galactica at the bar island table, watching a world cup match on the big screen TV. *Right* next to them. And Lt. Reed was obviously admiring the tactical aspect of the soccer match.

     

    And, let's not forget the Colonial Marines off in the corner at a set of tables, obviously taking a break from hunting Alien Face Huggers, and the random Klingons and Fleet officers scattered in the crowd.

     

    Kick. Azz. So say we all.


  7. 06.30.10 Agincourt Mission Update:

     

    TBS: Three Hours

     

    The USS Agincourt has arrived at the Romulan shipyards (Teros Minor) per orders from Fleet Admiral Jarvis; we are escorting the Alliance as the joint Rihan-Federation vessel is put through her paces on a shakedown cruise. So far, the Romulan crew of the Alliance and the crew of the Agincourt are playing nice on the galactic playground.

     

    Welcome and thank you to guest NPCing stars: Laehval tTemarr and NDak.

     

    PS: I totally think we should have the 'Court buzz the bridge of the Alliance...I'm just saying...it'll be fun...


  8. I do have a couple of questions, because the Moose Tips and How To Guides don't really cover the information:

     

    When do I get my stealth Runabout so I can deploy out from the ship and perform secret missions for Section 31?

     

    I also put in a request for a shoulder mounted rocket launcher, and a specialized cyborg-German Shepherd sidekick so he can provide backup support on the missions?

     

    I'll probably also do some freelance work as a bounty hunter...

     

    And there may be the occasions where I instigate a brawl with an entire bar for no good reason just to keep the reflexes sharp, so where do I send the repair bill?

     

    Other then that, when I'm free and not off on a mission, I can still perform my duties as a Lieutenant Colonel on the 'Court, because, y'know, Super Colonel to the rescue and stuff.

     

    Just askin' :)


  9. MISSION BRIEF: The gathered 7th Fleet ships begin to move into formation in order to take part in coordinated training maneuvers. We are at Yellow Alert; any officers on Alpha Shift are concerned with overall Dept readiness during the maneuvers. Those off shift will begin weapons training or general combat readiness training.

  10. 06.09.10 Agincourt Mission Update

     

    TBS: 30 Minutes. We'll reboot the ship to ship training simulation and go through another run with the 7th.

     

    The gathered 7th Fleet ships begin to move into formation in order to take part in coordinated training maneuvers. We are at Yellow Alert

     

    Any officers on Alpha Shift are concerned with overall Dept readiness during the maneuvers: Colonel Harper, Lt. Caine, Lt. Cmdr Condacin, and Ens Julio man our bridge readiness stations for the simulated battles.

     

    Those off shift begin weapons training or general combat readiness training: Caine NPCs Spencer and Farragut get a taste of Marine weapons training, while new SEC Ensign Taelya is also indoctrinated to these combat protocols thanks to the ministrations of Private Karo Veras. GSgt Mike Hefner keeps a watch on all of the teams training in the holodecks.

     

    Lt. Colonel JoNs begins a tour of the ship with CENG Kairi, and plans on checking in with the Departments during the Fleet drill. CMO Trenral readies the medical bay per the yellow alert, though is thankful that she will not be receiving any "real" casualties.

     

    Lieutenant Tay is a Leaf on the Wind, working the Helm console like nobody's business.


  11. MISSION BRIEFING: Time between Sims has been a few hours. The USS Agincourt has been assigned semi-permanently to the 7th Fleet as well as this outlying Federation sector. The ship remains docked at the space station while the remainder of the 7th Fleet continues to arrive in system; our crew is on general duty alert as we prepare the systems to take part in the upcoming ship to ship training maneuvers.

  12. Note: The 05.26.10 Sim was cancelled.

     

    06.02.10 Agincourt Mission Update:

     

    TBS: One Hour

     

    The planning for ship wide projectile weapons and combat defensive continues to move forward; the training will start with Marines and SEC, and the non-combat Departments will then be incorporated into the training roster as well.

     

    The CENG and her senior line officer discuss what brought each of them to service on the Agincourt.

     

    The CMO and the XO make nice; the claws did not fly and the blood did not flow.

     

    The Bridge Officers under the direction of Colonel Harper oversee general ships operations as well as the progress of the mobilization of the 7th Fleet.

     

    Next week, we begin full joint Fleet maneuvers.


  13. ... and there's ( apparently ) a chapter near where I live.

     

    I don't know, though: I'm already stressed out. I'm not sure I really need anything else to complicate my life. Besides, they're probably all TNG fans.

     

    Local chapter groups can either turn out well or not. A lot of them are or can be very clique-ish - together for years, that sort of thing. I did try a local chapter, just not my thing. Honestly, STSF is way better.
