Atragon9

You guys drink cocktails on Arcadia!? ****, I gotta check out THAT ship!

I ain't talkin!

More fighting with the Virus/entity/thing...

Yes, and it also might matter if the CO is just sitting in the Command Chair waching the stars zip by on the viewscreen or deep in a conversation/process with someone else. I think the bottom line is to be "flexible" to which Command Officer the Dept Heads report. However, you clearly do not have an AENG try and start a dialogue with the CO (unless it is in response to a request for info from the CO directly {Agggh, another exception to the rule, nooooooo}).

=/\= MANTICORE BRIEFING #254, STARDATE 50304.21 =/\= The Manticore is in orbit around Proxima Centuri, above the Former Lincoln Outpost. Lincoln was quarantined 10 years ago, after a staged Black Ops "attack by the Romulans" by the USS Aries, with a young Atragon-9 as the XO. A landing party returned with data from the outpost and, it seems, a mutated version of the bio-agent that killed all of the outpost's staff. Two crewmen have died from familiar symptoms, 4 decks apart, even after quarantining both the landing party and a large "clump" of the virus. Dr. Mele has named our enemy, LSDS for Lincoln Sodium Depletion Syndrome. There are now some theories that this is related to an entity encountered a century ago by the Enterprise, NCC-1701. =/\= END MANTICORE BRIEFING #254, STARDATE 50304.21 =/\=

My favorite is the giant banner you can hang in a warehouse or on the side of a building that says: "Remember, you can't spell Failure, without U R A" Heh-heh-heh-heh

Hmmmm, what would I do if I took control of a ship, yeaahhhhh, well, I'd ... Oh wait, I *HAVE* control of a ship. Never mind. ::starts jotting down ideas:: demolition derby sell the ship oooh, the Garnoopys!! yeah, you got some good ideas!

Well if he's packing it in a suitcase it shouldn't take long at all. If he's ... Oookay, let's all put down our rude thoughts and back away slowly! No more discussions in this direction. Thank you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GANG!!(and it does seem to be a gang, eh?)

At least one person didn't object to me being the head. Gracias Huff. :o Nice to know some one has some sort of confidence in me. Talk about being fooled... He actually trusted something that you said about him, Huff! ::shakes head:: Ahh, I remember back to when I trusted Huff, yeah I do ::sigh::

::whistles and writes more names into the PADD:: (w) Taking names and kicking.....

A snake kept you from your computer - wow, you must really live in a rustic locale!!!

Naaaah, I just wanted to explore my severance packages and SOMEONE on the GM Council got a bit eager, not realizing what I was doing, eh?

::sitting in the Wyvern as it returns from the surface, still shaken from what he saw, what memories he stirred up and looking at a small envelope in his lap:: {I can stare at this all day or I can open it. Isn't this what I came down here for? I didn't know what I'd find, but a note to me from Megan is more than I'd ever dreamed I'd find. And now I can't open it. What's wrong with me... Damn, damn, damn!} ::he opens the envelope with trembling hands and starts to read:: Atragon ... my darling ... mi querido How I wish I could have gone away with you. You know the kind of man Melville is. You know that no matter how careful we were, how thorough we thought the plan through, he would find us. He is an evil man, Atragon. You know that, but I don't think you can fully fathom how truly evil he is. His soul is as black as night. He lives to make other people's lives a nightmare. My life. Your life. Be wary of him, mi querido, for he will do anything to destroy you and all that you hold dear. I am making my escape. Melville believes that I am joining him on Tibus IV, however another alternative has presented itself. I will tell you nothing more. For your safety ... for my very life you may only know that I did perish here on this outpost. I am sorry for the heartache this will cause you, my darling, although "sorry" seems so very, very empty. I am already regretting not telling you, one last time, how just your smile can bring my heart such joy. How my skin comes alive at your touch. How just being next to you can make me feel complete. Adiós mi querido. Eres mi corazón y mi alma. Te amo Megan ::he can't keep the tears from his eyes, he tries to control his breathing and just look out the porthole as they approach Manticore:: {Manticore, I've got Manticore now. That's what's important, Manticore and Jami. Megan is in my past. I know that. I KNOW THAT. So why don't I "know" that? I've got to pull this together. We have a bio-disaster down there, we have the outpost's records to pore over. I've got to... step away. Can I?}

Okay folks, here's the deal. I asked Saria to start this post to let everyone know that a scheduled sim was cancelled. This is not a thread to bash GMs or complain about how Real Life sometimes gets in the way of simming. This thread is officially closed now. Thank you.

No, not at all. I find the small sims more fun, actually. You can make the plot much smaller and more focused (i.e., get back to the ship before the air runs out, etc.) Obviously, I cannot speak for all of the STSF GMs, but there is no rule or statement of a minimum for an Academy sim. Thanks

Hmmmm, I would want to be played by Sean Connery (in his "Thunderball"-era Bond days) I would end up being played by Steve Buscemi, channeling Wally Cox (look it up)

Paramount has allowed the STSF GMs to have Chat "tools" that allow us to create and save logs of the sims and other nice little features.

WTG!!! Verry, verry cool. My exercise regimen consists of Jumping to Conclusions, Pulling a Fast One and Running around in Circles and, someday, Pushing up the Daisies. Yours is actually beneficial!! Congratulations!

Oh i'm sorry but Babylonians aren't allowed on the stsf forum, i'm afraid that Jorlis will have to be shot. My shoes are too tight and I have forgotten how to dance! no? Come by and I'll show you my second favorite thing in the world? No?? How about... Ivanova is God, I will listen to Ivanova... Ahhh, recognition!! Yessss. Welcome to the B5SF, mwah-hah-hah-hah!

The U.S.S. Republic, NCC-1371-D, is the latest Federation ship to bear this proud name. Long renown as one of the premier training ships in the fleet, many a cadet or young officer have trained upon a ship bearing the name U.S.S. Republic. One of the most famous to have served upon the Republic, was James T. Kirk, serving as a first-year Academy student with a cadet Ensign rank, and again on a short tour of duty as a Lieutenant. The current Galaxy-class ship has in it's recent history, served as a flag ship for Rear Admiral BluRox. The Republic has been detailed to duty following the valiant efforts of it's fine crew in the Dominion War, to alternating tours of duty between the Alpha and Gamma Quadrants. These missions involve science exploration and diplomacy in the Gamma Quadrant, and patrol and security of the demilitarized zone between the Breen, Cardassian and Federation space, as well as occasional other ambassadorial duties and that much awaited trip to Risa for Shoreleave. Ship's Motto: " We shall never surrender ourselves to servitude and shame, whatever the cost may be."

Yes, we'd rather keep these Boards to just a discussion of STSF. Thanks
