The Steel Quill Award: Awarded to an Individual or Individuals for excellence in solo or joint logs.

 

Our first recipient following the inception of the Sim in 2009 is LTjg Shan ‘Deathwish’ Shalin for his logs My Name is Mudd (12.13.12) and Mudd in Your Eye (12.17.12).

 

These logs and the manner of writing captured the TOS character of Harcourt Fenton Mudd perfectly and took our readers on a rogue jaunt worthy of the adventures advocated in both the Original Star Trek series as well as the New Star Trek movie franchise introduced in 2009.

 

Congratulations on the Steel Quill, Deathwish!

Chat Notes: (though we can't say for sure that Sid, Barney or Spongebob will be making appearances in our current adventure)

 

(Sim)

T'Aral -> Captain ... I assume there is significance to this dispatch?

T'Aral -> :: Holding Padd with Aquarius report ::

STSF_Scooter -> Our next mission, Doc

STSF_Scooter -> Nice, simple, and boring

Innogen Belo -> :: Puts the forward lateral array in maintenance mode. ::

T'Aral -> :: Eyebrow :: It seems to be lacking in one detail - an objective.

STSF_Scooter -> Exploration usually is our ultimate objective. With assistance as a secondary

Innogen Belo -> :: Sends a note to ENG asking them to do a manual check on the array when conveinent. ::

T'Aral -> 'Exploration' suggests a science mission; that would be ... original.

STSF_Scooter -> Indeed it will be.

 

(Post Sim)

Crash Calestorm -> w00t! Excellent play Folks. TBS is 24 hours, we're on route to Aquarius Major.

Crash Calestorm -> The world is having ongoing damages/issues due to weather sanfus. Our mission'll be a combo explore and assistance as per the Captain stating in chat. Some elements of a "sandbox mission" as well. We want y'all to have some fun as characters.

Crash Calestorm -> It's a big planet. Lets do some....exploration. ::echo::

STSF_Scooter -> ((And use our...))Imagination

Mission Brief: 04.29.13 (March 10, 2261, Stardate 2261.71) Time Between Sims is 10 minutes. We’ve dispatched an Away Team to the courier shuttle to assist the stranded teenagers.

It seems 1124 Omega is off limits to civilians due to the work of Starfleet and Civilian survey teams.

Mission Brief: Time Between Sims has been 24 Hours. With the discovery of the surviving members of the survey team, our efforts now turn to the new matter at hand – the Salt Monster of Osiris Prime

 

= = = =

Mission Summary: A patrol finds a decimated cargo container with evidence that the creature was held inside.

The conclusion is that the pod was dumped for unknown reasons on Osiris Prime.

 

Orders from Admiral Coyote are to take the being/creature alive. Our CMO cautions the CO and XO that the creature may be on board the Comanche Creek as well and can project mental images.

Chat Notes:

[Crash Calestorm] ...we'll tie up lose ends and begin prep for pulling away from the planet. The Survey Team will continue their work, while we will head to Starbase (Insert Name Here) at some point next Sim.

[shalin] The creature is secure in the brig, and I'm somewhere else?

 

[Crash Calestorm] Yes; the creature will be secured and monitored by SCI/MED
