Fleet-Wide Challenge

[Captain Huff 0]

The General Problem

 

As most of you know, even if you don't sim on the Hood, many of our plots tend to... hmm... Digress? Wander? Go off in directions we never intended?

 

The Reason

 

1. The crew likes it

2. It has that TOS free-ish feel to it

3. It has (dare I say it?) a "real" feel to it - life is not scripted.

 

The Specific Problem

 

Again, many of you know, on the Hood we like to remain true to the era. That is, Starfleet had more holes in it, the rules were bent more, things get done without all that talking, and with a lot more shooting.

 

Unfortunately... Even Starfleet of TOS era had rules... and on the Hood we simply broke too many. After many years, Kirklogic finally got the best of us, and the Captain of the Hood ended up in Starfleet prison. Bummer!

 

This in itself is not really a problem. In fact, it's a very valid story twist. The crew got to help create a new captain and we had fun with this change of events. Except... Since we never really thought about exactly how... we'd get Huff released from prison....... we don't really have a plan to do this.

 

Now, the beauty of not planning plot endings is that usually either the crew thinks of something really cool, or Lebowski and I think of something really cool, we do the cool thing and everything works out great.

 

But... it's been like... close to a year? And we haven't thought of a valid way to get Huff out of jail. I'm tired of being in jail. They'd find a way to get Kirk out. We need to find a way to get Huff out!

 

The Challenge

 

Come up with a TOS-Hood valid way to get Huff sprung!

 

The Prize

 

Off the top of my head I can think of a couple of things you might enjoy. First, if you're not on the Hood and you have the awesome coolest idea, you are more than welcome to write a character into the plot and come SGV for as long as it takes to run the plot. Or, if you don't want to do that, I've been holding an Ops position for an experienced player, and I'd be willing to let you have that if you want it. If you already play on the Hood, I'd give you an instant promotion, no strings attached, including the coveted Huff-LTCSG if you're currently LTC. And if none of those appeal to you, maybe you can think of something cool that would. I might even be swayed to mail you a Dunkin Donuts gift card IRL.

 

The Background

 

The basic charges are here: Charges

 

If you're a nerd with free time, you probably want to go back and read some of the logs involving Admiral Bethany.... who in the past has had some "influence" over things that happen in Starfleet Command, and usually not to Huff's advantage....

Does the old file in the cake still work in the 23rd century?
